What do you think of Shasta, Kath?

Kath · 08-30-2008, 11:54 AM

Shasta reminds me of myself when I play normally. Focusing on one person, really going after them. If he's convinced it's very hard to make yourself change your mind, and he hasn't had the advantage of finding out phantom's role through getting him lynched and thus being able to move on. So I think he's a very focused and frustrated innocent. That's not to say though that he's not a very brave wolf! I just don't think so.

Kath · 08-30-2008, 11:56 AM

Ha! Cross-posted with phantom. You know what ... alright. Alright ok, phantom I'll accept it. If you've played me then at least it's been with aplomb.

Problem is without you I've only got one suspect as I don't think Shasta is a wolf and Durelin feels innocent. But hey, at least it makes voting easy.

the phantom · 08-30-2008, 12:01 PM

Okay, Kath, you keep saying that Shasta is a frustrated Ordo, and even reminds you of you, but still- going several days and 40+ posts without giving an opinion about any of you? You've never done that to my knowledge. Doesn't that seem a bit extreme? It smacks of a WW imitating a Cobbler, or someone trying not to make too many enemies. Or someone trying to make people think "No way would a WW be that crazy."

Kath · 08-30-2008, 12:04 PM

I suppose it looks bad for him but maybe he's just secure in his convictions. Even if he is absolutely 100% wrong it doesn't mean that he's evil and to my mind consistency isn't a bad thing.

Kath · 08-30-2008, 12:05 PM

Nerwen, don't worry too much, it's just that phantom once said he'd never actually lie when a wolf so I thought I'd test that out.

Nerwen · 08-30-2008, 12:06 PM

Okay, but how can anyone be that secure?

EDIT: X'd with Kath.

Kath · 08-30-2008, 12:08 PM

I'm not. I'm really, really not. But I had that on good authority so I'm just going to have to hope.

Yeah, that's what I worry about. The fact is it looks like an excellent WW ploy were he and I WWs. If he gets me lynched then Shasta must be innocent right? And if he gets lynched then I must be innocent, right?

But that's not what's going on, I can tell you. I would never allow something so reckless. I am in favor of bold, but not obvious and reckless.

So I sort of feel like I'm being set up. Yeah, I guess I am kind of taking this personally.

Heh heh... Well, in games past it has come up that I take immense pride in being one of the only players that lies more as an innocent than as a WW. I think it's due to my sense of sportsmanship. I feel that the WWs, as the attackers, should be somewhat sporting. Where as the innocents being attacked should be allowed to do anything they please to catch the beasts.

Durelin · 08-30-2008, 12:07 PM

Can I keep questioning you, Kath?

Because I'd really like to know why Lommy? She still just 'comes across wrong'?

Well of course you'd say that.

If you can be as consistent as Shasta and maybe even as you have, that your main suspect(s) (phantom, and Lommy and phantom) have never managed to get lynched, yes...you do end up in a pretty nice spot.

Actually I thought as a wolf she posted rather a lot, but I don't know. This also makes me think of Shasta...as in, where is he? Hmm.
