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.

Kath · 08-30-2008, 12:10 PM

Oh sorry Nerwen, misunderstood that. How can anyone be that secure? Have you never played with, say, Farael? Some people can be completely convinced and remain that way until they find out whether they're right.

Durelin, go ahead. Why Lommy? Well, yes it's a feeling, but also where is she? This incredibly important Day and she's barely around? A quiet Lommy is a bad sign to me.

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.

This also makes me think of Shasta...as in, where is he? Hmm.

Perhaps he assumes that if he arrives late that two people will have already started going at each other and thus leave him in the clear? I've seen that many times.

the phantom · 08-30-2008, 12:27 PM

As far as Lommy goes, all I know is that in the last game (DWW) most of my team mates and some villagers kept saying "guilty guilty guilty" but I disregarded them and turned out being right about her. She feels exactly the same to me in this village, though quieter.

Thinlómien · 08-30-2008, 12:45 PM

As for where I am, it's here. I just arrived and read the thread. And as for Kath's question* - I think I did say we're having guests so I might have problems getting online... we were in an amusement park for the whole day and I just arrived. I will post something more substantial soon.

*should I be worried that she makes a point of my absence when I've actually explained it already? Is she just trying to create a "mist of suspicion" around me, or maybe she hasn't read my post properly because she has already decided to suspect me, whatever the case? Makes me wonder...

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.
