Weres of Eire: Game Thread

[The Saucepan Man]

Hey ho. What am I to make of the fact that Cailomer's interpretation of Nogrod's posts largely mirrors my own? Perhaps, given my track record thus far, I should be worried. On balance, though, I find that it inclines me to trust them more.

A greater cause for concern. Durelin is speaking decidedly good sense.

This bothers me too. But I still find it unlikely that, with Nogrod on two votes and knowing that I was around, she would have drawn me level with him, if a Wolf. Surely she would have voted for someone else on one vote who was unlikely to return. That said, I most definately do not discount her possible Cobblerishness.

Her points on Isabellkya also make sense. However, Nogrod knows full well the tendency for the quieter participants to attract votes on Day 1. Accordingly, his vote looks more like scapegoating that Wolf-on-Wolf to me. That's not to discount her entirely, particularly as she does feel very non-committal, but there are others that I find more suspicious right now.

So why does the fact that Durelin is talking sense concern me? Well, it seems to have come about just as she is coming under some pressure.

In other news, we have Menel accusing me of being in league with Brinniel. Well, I am provided that she is innocent. But, given that she has recently reclaimed her position as one of my top suspects, I somehow don't really feel like I am in league with her at present.

As for Noggie supposedly dropping me hints to tone down my act, well if that's the best that you can come up with, I have nothing to fear.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

We think also that Menel or Brinniel is as wicked as Big-Fist the Siren. If Durelin should prove innocent, then Rikae may be another character to look at; but we are quite sure of this:

++DURELIN

We outlined our reasons earlier. Durelin shall be as Aed.

On the Barrow, by a sharp-pointed spear,
Aed, Fidga’s son, has fallen:
By the spear of Fiacal,
Finn has slain him.

Venom is this spear,
And venomous he whose it is,
Venomous whoever threw it,
Venom for him whom it laid low

So sayeth the Warriors of Finn.

[Durelin]

Have you considered, Espiem, that only Day 1 has passed, and rarely do I waste my time trying to make sense on Day 1? Sometimes I do choose to make sense after that. Sometimes I actually read (most of) the thread. Sometimes.

ToDay I chose to make sense because I only had one class.

Oh, and as I forgot to say earlier - please stop trying to pinpoint 'typical Durelin'. I don't know who she is or where to find her either, so you may as well give up.

Eomer/Cailin's short-minded sort of consistency bothers me (posts to explain who they think is suspicious, then posts to vote for who he/she said in previous post was suspicious...done), and the way he/she is remaining somehow detached reminds me of Cailin-wolf. Still, I won't go with a plain old retaliatory vote I don't think. There are so many other lovely people who are calling for me vote, too... *le sigh*

Sauce is not spell-checking his posts. I don't think he's a wolf at the moment.

What I believe to be possible Wolf pairs (assuming there are two wolves left, which I think we've pretty much decided) at the moment:

Isabellkya and Rikae

Menel and Rikae

Brinniel and Eomer

So many to choose, so little time and posting...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

A heads up:

At the deadline today, I'm going to be in a theatre meeting. I'm going to trust you guys to stop posting at the deadline, okay?

I believe Brinniel has one vote thus far, as does Durelin.

[Isabellkya]

As I must place a vote today, and we have little over an hour remaining; I will

++Durelin

as I find her top in my mind at the moment. As she says she is sick of the if this/then that style arguments. Yet pairs people together for possible wolf pairs; are those not if this/then that arguments?

[Meneltarmacil]

I suppose I might as well vote; my suspicions have already been mentioned.

++The Saucepan Man

[Kath]

So, my two suspects have a vote each, which to choose?

++BRINNIEL

Because I'm having trouble actually formulating an argument against her. I can't find reasons other than her indecisiveness, and much of my suspicion of Sauce actually rests on the assumption that these two are working together. That's not to say that if Brinniel turns out to be a mere Cobbler that Sauce isn't a wolf, there's still something there.

Oh, I wouldn't presume to, as I know how it irks you so. I just noticed that, of all the various Durelins, the sensible, analytical one had come to the fore, just as you were beginning to come under some suspicion. And, since the sensible points that you made were about those who I think unlikely to be Wolves, my suspicions were further aroused.

Have we? As I noted earlier, the narrative suggests that there was just one wailer. Hmm, Noggie wanted us to think that there were three Wolves too ...

Re-reading the thread, Kath comes across as so suspicious to me, especially her long post yetserDay. If it wasn’t for her vote for Nogrod, I would probably be voting for her. But surely a Wolfish Kath would not have sold fellow Wolf Noggie down the river like that. Just in case she is a Wolf, though, and played a blinder, I don't want her to think that she has fooled me completely.

I also found Brinniel's post #56 interesting. She says herself:

Ugh, there's a lot of uncertainty in my analysis, I realise that.

By gum lass, you can say that again. You are equivocal about practically everyone here. Were you perhaps trying to keep all your chickens in the one basket to allow yourself leeway later on toDay, depending upon which way the votes are going?

Well, the two current candidates are Brinniel or Durelin. I can see myself voting for either of them. Possibly Menel too, as I am slightly nervous of him. Of the others, I think Rikae unlikely to be a Wolf, though she may well be a baddie all the same, and I am inclined for now to trust Kath and the Warriors of Finn (although, with Kath, only because of her vote yesterDay). I remain undecided about Izzie, but think her more likely innocent than fiendish.

[Brinniel]

Okay, I expected to be back earlier...but I had RL things to take care of. Anyways, I am here now.

I am still feeling fairly confident that SpM is a wolf. I still don't like his vote from yesterDay...something still feels wrong about it. Today, he uses Durelin as a perfect scapegoat. And still suspects me for "my behaviour." You mean safe? Uncertain? Well, I admit...that's how I always am...indecisive.

Eolin irks me as well. They're footsteps follow SpM's jumping on Durelin. Though it seems unlikely that two wolves would so openly bandwagon, I wouldn't count them out as a possible team. No votes for them toDay though...I will definitely keep them as a consideration for toMorrow.

Durelin does not seem wolfish at all, though I think there's a chance she could be a cobbler.

What to do? I would like to vote SpM, but I admit I won't hesitate voting Durelin if it means saving my own skin..
