Weres of Eire: Game Thread

[Nogrod]

With a quick glance I must say that the only thing that even somehow raises eyebrows right now is the fact that both Cailomer and Spm seem to have veiled themselves behind roles of sorts. I don't know what to say of it though - and because they make quite amusing posts I would be very unhappy to see either of them lynched on Day1 just because of that.

I think also that we need to be aware not to direct all our attention and / or suspicion over exactly those people who look like ones we could easily turn to - even if it is the easiest way for any individual in the confusion and guessing on Day1. It has many times resulted in hasty bandwaggon-lynching of an innocent with the negative effect that the baddies can safely ride with the tide and get lost in the crowd.

I will be back and be more active in an hour or two.

Only Menel and Rikae yet to post (and well Kath's wasn't actually a post I'd say). I hope all the people get more involved as the "evening" draws near.

[The Saucepan Man]

Aha! Thank you, Mistress Lommy, for your most revealing contribution. You are clearly up to no good. So without further ado ...

++THINLOMIEN

The cards never fail me. Gotcha, my dear!

[Nogrod]

One should always read the admin thread before starting to play...

Both Cailmer and Spm had decided on having roles already before the game-roles were dealed so them being in a role-mode is no reason for me to raise my eyebrows anymore.

My bad.


Other things of interest: Menel will be back only on Monday, Rikae has been around four days ago the last time which raises the question whether she knows the game is on in the first place.

I wouldn't suggest lynching either of them because of that. At least yet.


Also, the ruling about two or more people reaching the same number of votes has been changed. So no longer will it be a randomized choice but a double-lynch (triple-, quadruple- etc.) is possible.

We should think about using that possibility at some point, for instance getting rid of possible silent timebombs. But I'd say not toDay.

[Brinniel]

The thing about in-character roles is that I always find it so easy for a baddie to hide within such a role. But obviously, we cannot make suspicions based on that alone.

Cailomer's post doesn't really have any content aside from in-character behaviour...so I can't formulate anything just yet. Personally, I would like to hear from the other half and see if I can catch any hints towards innocence or guilt from the she-side, but I don't know how long we'd have to wait for that...

I find it odd that SPM places Kath in the suspicious category before she even has the chance to speak. And his vote for Lommy...I cannot see a good reason behind it. Perhaps he could give us more explanation...

I thought it's been changed the other way around and that it's now randomizer and no multiple lynchings due to our small number..

First Days are always difficult...and I must vote in less than an hour. Please people, speak up now! Making these decisions are so much harder when everyone is so quiet.

[Thinlómien]

I should vote soon, too. Like I've said before, EC and SPM are the only ones to make me raise my eyebrows (SPM has increased that with that almost nonreasoned vote of his - which possibly was partly to see how I would react to it), but I wouldn't be too happy to vote either of them. I would not like to lynch EC on the first day without a good reason, since they play so rarely and it's a pleasure to play with them, nor would I like to vote SPM who's really nice to play with: he's a powerful ally or a challenging enemy. I would also agree with Noggie about Menel and Rikae. So I should either pursue my feeble suspicion of SPM or intentionally try to fish for other suspicious things/people... Argh.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Some things I thought I'd clear up:

First, Espiem is right about the deadline. 7 PM CST, 12 AM GMT, 1 AM BST, or, in about five hours.

Second, Brinniel is right about the lynching. A randomizer will be used in the case of a tie.

[Nogrod]

Thanks Shasta.

The second confusion arose when I checked the admin thread and saw that the first post had been edited as late as yesterday so I thought it had current information in it.


To the work then.

Menel will not be around until Day2 and of Rikae we know nothing right now. I'd hate to lynch them toDay. So no vote from me to them toDay.

Lynching Spm on Day1 is waste if there is no good case to be made which I can't as yet see around. The same I think goes for Lommy. Also if the warriors of Finn don't raise anymore eyebrows I'd like to see them in action also toMorrow.

That then would leave me with the following list:
Isabellkya
Brinniel
Kath
Durelin

I'll try to see what if anything I can find about them.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Nogrod & Thinlómien, your willingness to appease us makes us suspicious of you. Why so keen not to vote for us?

[Nogrod]

In the order of appearance it goes then.

Durelin: Basic Day1 Dury-banter, makes joking suspicions and later answers to Isabell with a joke-analysis on Isabell (and not the prologue she was asked by Isabell if I got it right).

So?
She can be anything. I see nothing out of the ordinary here but she is very much able to use that as a cover as well.


Isabellkya: One post, second of the Day. Not much to go for there. Although the beginning made me wonder a bit. I mean why say "I have to admit, I am a little frightened"? Not the least because if it would be something like in-character -stuff there should be more of it to follow I'd think. I don't see why any goodie would say that but a baddie might do it to try to indicate she's not a baddie here...

So?
She just might be a baddie although the grounds are pretty weak. But the best I have this far.


Brinniel: Seems to be like she normally is as well, considerate and cool. Although one might say that she seems to prefer talking more about general issues than people around.

So?
Hard to say once again. She might be a baddie playing it safe for she sure could pull that presentation...


Kath: Told us she will be back. She seems to get through pretty easily on Day1's by just laying low and she's a devastating villain when she gets through say Day3 or 4. Yes I admit, I'm afraid of her everytime I play with her because first there is nothing to say on her and then she has already stabbed you...

So?
It feels wrong to vote for someone who has only said she will be back later but when it's Kath I might just be persuaded - it has even paid back sometimes.


Summa summarum.
Quite thin results. Which was to be expected when looking at the number and length of the posts toDay. Of the four I'd say Isabell seems the most suspicious now. But I'll be around for a while still so that I can see if better candidates / points arise.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

We are displeased with Brinniel's comments regarding our so-called "she-side". We have no 'she-side' but are, rather, numerous warriors banding together – the two most prominent of whom are named Eomer and Cailín. The mere suggestion that that aspect known as Cailín would be either more useful to the village in a positive way, or indeed so careless as to reveal any hint of inner evil, is demeaning to all of us.

Our recital of melodious poetry, under even the most dire circumstances, could possibly be seen as more feminine by uninformed people. Yet, as all wise elders know:

Of all these again not a man was taken until he were a prime poet versed in the twelve books of poesy. No man was taken till in the ground a large hole had been made (such as to reach the fold of his belt) and he put into it with his shield and a fore*arm’s length of a hazel stick. Then must nine warriors, having nine spears, with a ten furrows’ width betwixt them and him, assail him and in concert let fly at him. If past that guard of his he were hurt then, he was not received into Fianship.

So this shows that no sense can be gained from treating our words as those of individuals; for we are warriors of Finn and have but one way and one mind.

We are still mightily concerned with the behaviour of Brinniel; but also with that of Thinlómien, who has failed to see Brinniel's strategy of fake exhaustion as a damning indictment on her character. Instead she makes us the villains. Highly suspicious to jump quickly on those who would dare cast suspicion.

Aye. We have spoken.

[Thinlómien]

EC, are you really serious about that exhaustion-thing?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Dare you suggest that our words were meant in jest? Frivolity is known not to the warriors of Finn. You must remember, Thinlómien, that accusations and counter-accusations must start somewhere; and silence can doom us all.
