That's the question.

You're right there, "sitting back" doesn't describe it correctly. You used the opportunity to make yourself look better after Brinn had been lynched. Or let's say, if you're a wolf, that's what you did. The problem is that there's always a way to interpret a thing both ways. My feeling tells me the evil way is the right one.

Well, you will have to admit that the "If I was a wolf, this is the way I would play" argument is not the most convincing one.

Dump all the reverse-psychology crap and just look at it, why would (as a wolf) I not either attempt to save CoD (by voting for Brin) or vote for CoD and sacrifice him? When you look at it, it's right in front of your face, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I just knew I didn't want to vote for Brin, I didn't want to vote for CoD, I'm not going to vote for myself, so I went with my top suspect.
I overlooked that first, and now that Mith pointed it out, it's what I'm thinking about.
You say you had absolutely no idea what you were doing. If it applies to Bordomir, it could apply to Wolf-Boromir as well...

I second that. What are your thoughts on Lal, Mac?

In fact, anyone's thoughts on Lal would be welcome. Who's played with her before? Is she normally like this? Can she have been serious about thinking she was on the menu?

And while we're waiting, I'll give you my thoughts on Mac.

Out of everyone, he does appear the most innocent– and not just because of his fortuitous Day One vote. Everything he's done since then has simply shone with purity... so much so that I fully expected him to be the one eaten last Night.

In fact so innocent does Mac appear that if he's still alive toMorrow, I suggest the Seer check him out, just to be on the safe side.

EDIT: X'd with Lal.

I started thinking she may be t3h Cobbler yesterDAY, ergo, I ignored her. Although she may be a bold Wolf.

Boots Elaborating a bit.

She is not being too helpful, getting obsessed with 'Oh, I'll be killed tomorrow!' and getting into fights and whatnot. But with only two Wolves I don't think a Lalwendë-wolf would risk doing this unless she's sure the last Wolf can win it all.

Hmm . . . maybe the Wolf-on-Wolf voting idea wasn't so bad, after all . . .

Temporarily considered a negligible threat: Nilp, Nogrod, Mac, Shasta

Worrisome: Rikae, Nerwen, Boro, Mith, Lal

I'm barely aware they're playing: Sally, McCaber, Izzy, Fea

I'd hoped to be around between now and deadline (out of class at 12:10, deadline at 1:00), but something came up and I have to run out in a few minutes and won't be back fast enough to vote.

Sorry, darling. You know I love you, but...

I'm debating between Nog and Sally right now.
Maybe Nilp for his initial posts of copy.


I find Lal comedic. Yes, some of the things she says are from left field; whether or not this is how you usually are - you are committed.

From her actions, she could quite honestly be anything.

Cobbler, trying to draw attention from Gifted's and make herself known to the wolves.

Gifted, using the actions as a Cobblery cover - so the chance of her being eaten at night could be smaller. Risky, since the chance of being lynched are higher.

Wolf, trying to look like a Cobbler so she isn't killed off. Wolves won't waste a night kill on a Cobbler and innocents won't waste a lynch on one; if there are better targets.


X'ed with Lal and Mac.

Don't worry, mum, at least I love you.

Enedwaith, so I have no-one to vote toDAY -- ignoring Lalwendë cos I really think she's a Cobbler and not a Furrier. Hehe.

Not sure yet. She's the next on my list to look at closely. From the top of my head I'd say some good thoughts mixed with quite some incoherence. Can't really tell whether lupine or not. Nerwen is number two, because I have given her far too little attention so far.

Hey!
What an interesting choice of a smilie! So that's how you feel about being checked by the seer? I already said you were playing too smothly to be a good guy! Should I start to believe that as well?

To Boro:

I didn't say everyone. I suppose it is more phrasings used when making an argument. Either way, it rang bells to see "what the heck's" used two posts after I used them, in conjunction with the same person - when I don't recall seeing them before that.

I said that, because of how the two of you interacted. 'What do you think about this person'; 'I'll do this if you might do that'. It gave me the feeling of two people out picking curtains, or a new couch - not wolf hunting.



X'd with Nilp.
