No I'm not. I am "less threatening".

I forbid you, Di, to look at THE Ka's posts. She and her family are just... not our sort of people. Might be a bad influence on you.

Ai, Mommy, don't hit me.

But yes, yes indeed... and the fact that Aunt Roa married in that family (holds nose) explains soooo much.

Speaking of which, where is Roa. And phantom (okay, I did read the discussion thread, but it's in GMT and I can't be bothered to convert). I so want to see them going at it again.

Rikae is off the wall completely and I don't know what to make of it.
Hah, about face much?

Aunt Rikae! Oh, Aunt Rikae, watch me disobey you!!!

Because I can....Ka's posts. Basically just to see what she thought. That and I'd already summarized them, so may as well put my effort to good use. Mostly unimportant now, but still....there may be something....Analysis of other players (Di first, others probably in the morning/early afternoon my time) coming up as I get it done....

#243 (6:53pm)
Random. Commenting on lack of posts. Mentions lists and how they help predict day outcomes and such. Talks about Phantom's no-vote, almost seems as if she's defending it. Asks GW to give us a replacement for Gaffer Volo, our beloved deceased Seer.

Okay, lesson to be learned, don't complain about how few posts there are. Next time you check in, you'll be swamped. Knowing who suspects whom (lists, for instance) is a good way to know how they may vote/act, but I also like to see how people just interact. Look at Roa's last vote, for instance. And yes, please, I hope we have a new Seer (don't know why we wouldn't, unless the GW is a sadist. If so, I nominate Di!)


#309 (12:33am)
Jokes about my mis-post (italicizing her name). Teases Di about her postal post about Agan, then says that Agan'll probably murder her in her sleep anyway. Compliments Phantom. Talks about Legate's vote, compares it to gifted Volo in a previous game. Says first day hesitation isn't a reason to lynch someone. Withholds judgement on Legate for now. Trusts Lommie. Says she would likely pick Agan as a wolf, but further on in the game when straits are more dire. Trusts Agan, wants Gwath to talk more. Says she doesn't trust Cellie due to contradictions. Questions why Volo was killed.

Love the Vista comment in this post by the way! True, indeed. *pummels Vista* Hmmmm. This is another “If I was ____, I'd ____”. I don't like these, even though I'm guilty of them occasionally myself. Doesn't matter now, but that's what caught my eye last night, so yeah. Cellie? Contradictions? Where? She's barely said anything. Bah. Ka, why did you have to DIE???????????????


#356 (9:07am)
Clarifies the game she mentioned to Legate (referring to the recent game with the she-wolf pack? I was in that game if so, and it was Volo's if I'm not mistaken. K. Done now.) Says Agan is varyingly evil depending on her role. Is glad Gwath spoke up about his....silence.... Thinks Volo kill was semi-random. Not enough experience with Roa or Phantom to comment.

Gwath has been really quiet. Then again, he's busy like a lot of the rest of us, so I've kind of overlooked it so far. I'm still not terribly worried.


#454 (5:06pm)
Agrees with Durie to ignore Phantom and Roa, likes bandwagons (to an extent) but not the ones available. Still finds Legate odd, but doesn't want to vote him yet. Tells Agan she likes being an ordo more than a gifted. Confused about her mum Lallie. “Think like a criminal” discussion with Mac. Says Lommie's hiding something, but she's not sure what it is.

Hmmmm. Again, if she wasn't dead, I'd wonder if that was wolf communication. Here's a crackpot theory for you. Could Ka have been unscried and then killed for knowing her fellows? Maybe the EW cut communication and Ka....well, why would she tell Agan she'd been unscried? Crap. My theory doesn't even make sense to me right now. Someone else can play with it.


#522 (5:55pm)
Says Legate's “strange behavior” is justified by his exams and such. Thinks the Day's votes will be to discover things, not based on suspicions. Didn't get much time to analyze, says she doesn't know why Cabbie is such a good lynch choice. Says Cailin is more reasonable today, doesn't know about Brinn. Says voting because someone is controversial is not good. Thinks Mac is hiding something. Votes Mac accordingly.

Well....Mac was hiding something alright....I've done the same thing *furtive glance at Morm and Agan, her dead ranger friends* so we understand. I think Cabbie's quite a good choice actually, and I'll show you why later. But he's quiet enough that....well, I don't want to procrastinate on him but at the same time I'd be amenable to leaving him alone for another day or two.



Overall, not a lot, but a few tidbits I found interesting. Okay, off to set up my analysis on Di. Back in a smidge!

I didn't see anything weird about her triple post besides a joking tone. Oh, slay me now if having fun is a lynchable offense.

Gaasp! You've found me out! *clutches robes* Wouldn't that make me the Sort of Good Wizard? Or the Not Altogether Evil But Rather Naughty Wizard?

Edit: Whoo yeah, triple posting action!

*shakes head in mock exasperation* Yes, Di, my dear, yes it would. Now go play with a sharp object or something. Cousin Sally's trying to bold her post about you and your silliness, and your grabbing at the hem of my robes isn't helping concentrate. Run along now. *whispers* Bother my brother or sister. They've been pretty dern quiet themselves.

Though you have a point about your siblings' quietness.

Kath has (and always will) creep me out because I've seen her quietly bedazzle a village and get away (literally) with murder most fowl.

I only have a couple minutes right now. But I'll be back in a couple hours.

I've barely skimmed what's been posted so far, but it looks like Rikae and Legate have started a little something. Don't do that! I'm feeling you both as rather innocent right now.

But there is someone that, in my multiple rereadings yesterday, I started to really not like very much. I'm sort of excited because it's my first halfway strong guilty feeling that I've gotten. Oh, sure, I have been uneasy about some, like Shasta, who I have actually reversed my opinion about, but this time I actually feel good about it.

Nope. Not telling who yet.

And no, it's not Roa!

You'll find out when I finally get home on my computer and can copy and paste what I started writing about this person yesterday during my read-throughs.

See you in a couple hours. Gotta run.

Jokes of family conspiracy. Asks Phantom about his no-vote. Comments about Day One arguments (agrees with Cailin, then says Cailin is evil because Nerwen was innocent.) Jokes about family ties again. Says if she was EW she would do a lot of the same things the EW is doing. Boasts she's only been lynched once.

Only lynched one, eh? Is this a challenge, dear cousin? However, I don't think she'd be this straightforward if she was the EW, even if she couldn't be lynched. Still, this sits wrong with me. And Cailin is evil because Nerwen isn't? Come up with something better please sweetie. I know you can....Cailin bothers me too for various reasons. I'll get to them, but not now....moving on....


#242 (6:38pm)
Urges others to post. Nothing of consequence.


#257 (10:05pm)
Teases Phantom about his no-vote again. Hypothesizes that Volo's death had something to do with his seership and Agan's role. Goes nuts and goes into bloody descriptions about killing Agan.

SADIST! Kudos on being right though, even if you were just kidding.


#268 (10:54pm)
Joking continuation of the seer dream discussion. Silly and fun, insightful and yet nothing.


#290 (12:05am)
Joking. Teases Phantom for being....well, for being Phantom.


#312 (12:40am)
Mentions Roa's behavior in a previous game and compares it to Phantom's current actions.


#404 (2:59pm)
Complains about the high post velocity. Says the Roa and Phantom argument is entertaining; wants to know their roles.

Told ya so. You can't have your posts and read them too, people. And I'd like to know what they are, but for now let's leave them alone and try to figure it out without, I dunno, KILLING them, okay? Goodie.


#410 (3:13pm)
Erm, yeah. Random stuff.


#414 (3:29pm)
Wonders about a previous Cailin post (now cleared up). Says she won't mind being lynched, but tells Cailin that lynching her right after Nerwen is a poor choice. Also says she's not all that innocent.

Hmmmm. Mehbe she's an ex-wolf? A stretch, I know, but that last “I'm not all that innocent” bit makes me think she's been scried, either into a fur coat or out of it. Or maybe she's just being silly.


#424 (3:50pm)
Says useful posts are no fun. Wants to argue/read arguments (like Roa and Phantom) and jokes that she'll make stuff up if it gets discussion going.

She's got to be kidding! Fortunately, I think she is. I hope....


#426 (3:58pm)
Says she'll keep a close eye on Shasta, as she finds him sneaky.

My grandpa is a nice man. Maybe he just needs a shave. *shifty eyes*


#443 (4:51pm)
Suspicion list. Suspicious: Shasta, Lommie, Kath, Mac, Rikae, Cailin, Lallie, Cabbie. Wants more from Cellie, Morm, Gwath, and others. Notes that people will change sides frequently and suggests we should look for wizards, as they're the only consistent players. Speaks up about wizard suspects (mostly Phantom and Rikae).

Heh, she says Phantom bribed Noggie with Husker crap to gain wizardship (that would be a DETERRENT, love....). I like her take on wizards. Since they don't change, they are the only people that are guaranteed to leave some sort of trail (not a trail I guess more than evidence after they're dead, i.e. Who they picked, why, etc.) and so maybe we should concentrate on the wizard (EW, at least) more heavily than we have been. Bah, this has been discussed to death. Moving on.


#450 (5:04pm)
Still likes reading arguments. Is happy to see Cellie talking, and especially that Cellie also finds Cailin wolfish.

Happy to see someone else on her side. Can't argue with that.


#458 (5:14pm)
Joking. Suspects Lommie.


#461 (5:18pm)
Joking with Durie.


#490 (5:41pm)
Confused about who to vote for. Silly.


#500 (5:47pm)
Votes for Mac. Jokes about getting spanked for voting her dad, but otherwise no commentary.

Six minutes between “no idea who to vote for” and “let's kill Mac”. Then again, I've done it before too, so I can't say a whole lot about it. Slightly worrisome, but she mentioned suspicion of him earlier so it didn't completely come out of nowhere.


#538 (6:00pm)
Comments again on post volume. Pulls a “whoops” about voting Mac.

Erm....oopsie? Again, happens to the best of us. I hope you got a good whipping though.



Okay, so Di rubs me a bit the wrong way. Nothing screaming "lynch me, lynch me" but quite a few little things that make me hesitate to call her innocent. Definitely in the yellow area, bordering on orange. It's easy to hide fur behind fun.



Okay. A few points before I submit. One. I'm too lazy to bold (though I'll probably do it in a bit anyway). Two. I write too big; Di alone took up over three pages in my notebook, and that's just for day two! Three. I only had day two pages saved, so that's what I worked with. Sorry. Four. I'm flipping posting this.

Well since dear Daddy is dead (RIP) his ghost will have to rise up from the grave to do so. Actually I got a PM from him saying "Dear Diamond, I know your real name, I can find out where you live. I AM COMING FOR YOU."



(Not really.)

I enjoyed your analysis of me very much, btw. I have no complaints.

Haha. I'd totally do that, you know.



Okay, battery's dying. May be back tonight, may not. Depends. See you upon my return. And as always, post IN MODERATION while I'm gone.

Gwath, Day 1

#48 - First post. Amused at Roa and Phantom squabbling. Believes that the key to the game is tracking down the EW.

#73 - Believes Aganzir to be twisting his words. Votes for Sally without an explanation.

Gwath, Day 2

#277 - Quotes a post of Sally; partially explains his vote for her by saying she seemed too "sane". Thinks Eonwe's vote for Phantom is suspicious. Thinks Roa is suspicious for voting Phantom as well. Thinks Phantom is also suspicious for dominating the conversation. Wary of Diamond's reason for voting Nerwen, as well as her apparent neutrality. Raises an eyebrow at the number of random votes cast. Suspicious of Lalaith, based on her posting style.

#286 - Sort of, kind of, explains his vote for Sally.

#310 - Replies to Ka. Admits he's been quieter than usual. Won't be around for the deadline again, so must vote early.

#361 - Certain that either Roa or Phantom is a wolf, based on their argument.

#362 - Explains his vote for Sally a bit more, based on her posting style, but mentions that he believes her to be "back to normal".

#365 - Would like to vote Phantom or Roa, but doesn't. Gives Eonwe an extra day for being new. Thinks Sally to be acting more innocently. Votes Lalaith for much the same reason he voted Sally.

Gwath - Day 3

#562 - States intention to be more involved. Thinks Rikae quick to jump on Legate; sides with Legate.

#577 - Wants to see more of the feud between Roa and Phantom. Thinks it's possible that Phantom is being a bit arrogant.

#579 - Gives up his idea on Phantom quickly, once Rikae voices her displeasure. This makes me raise an eyebrow.

#581 - Suddenly wonders why Rikae is so eager to deflect attention from Roa and Phantom. The eyebrow goes back down, but not all the way.

#591 - Reiterates that the wolves probably don't know each other.

To sum up:

Gwath bothers me a bit, but not to the extent that Legate does. I'd put him as a 4 on the scale; leaning innocent.
