Werewolf LIII: The Republic

Wouldn't an Ordo check and see if they had been Wolf-killed before they posted?
Nerwen- Her failure to cast a Day 1 vote and the fact that she claimed not to know the rules makes her look fairly clean. I mean- she thought there was a Ranger. Would a NerWolf bluff something like that?
Rune- He showed up late and acted like he didn't know we had started. Would a RuneWolf bluff something RL like that?

About those who didn't show/vote on Day 1, while I can't say anything about these specific players, I can say that there have been werewolves who didn't show/vote the first Day...so it doesn't necessarily mean innocence. After all, no shows often happen due to RL and that can't be helped whether your innocent or a werewolf. As for Nerwen, her stating that she forgot there was a ranger doesn't necessarily mean that she had to bluff to be a wolf. Even as a wolf, she could've honestly forgotten about it. The only one I could totally eliminate as a ww is Gil who hasn't shown up at all. And Kath looks more innocent because unless she didn't get the Nightly PMs, I don't see how she could miss Legate's death without bluffing (and I don't think she would).

I am assuming that it is more than just a genneral feel that you get from her posts, because if she just feels innocent then that is what you should write. . .

The quotes/comments I saw that make Lommy look more innocent were among those long quote posts...I actually did make comments about them right after posting the quote if you read them.

I guess I find her too vague and her suspicions are often based on one thing only, she seems to be trying not to upset people.
However I did think she made some alright points in her post and it may be that she is a person that I will always suspect, because of this I would like her around for one more day.

What a meanie, you always want me dead. And you're right you always suspect me, and I often suspect you....I do think it's because we just don't agree on each other's posting styles.
As much as you don't like quote posts, I made them because it's easier for me to see all the information right there rather than search through 30-something pages. I made comments afterward...I don't know how much longer you want those comments to be. Is there some sort of standard you have? I'm not Nogrod or Legate...who both make posts long enough to write a book.

First off, you were awful eager for a triple lynch...for someone who I think is probably innocent. We already bagged three wolves...what's the rush to lynch another player who is most likely not even a wolf? Secondly, you were so eager to lynch the two wolves you went to the effort of devising a way so that all reps would be involved rather than use the original plan to abstain, which would've worked fine. You seemed much more eager than everyone else, and if you're a wolf, using eagerness could be a way to compensate for your frustrations. Plus, if you were one of the reps actively lynching the wolves, you could've thought it could be a way to distance yourself from them. Did that answer your question?

[Ilya]

This is probably the last thing I'm going to be able to post tonight, so,

++Brinn for rep

Even though Brinn was on my initial list of suspicious people, she's doing a lot, a lot of analysis that makes sense to me, and I don't think that a lone wolf right on the heels of a double-lynch would go to that much effort.

Yup. You're still wrong, but now I know what you mean. Thanks for clarifying, sweetie.

I know that you did comment on some of the quotes, but we are talking about 1 comment for every 3 quotes or something like that and there is little conclution connected to them.

I would be very happy indeed if you at one point only chose the quotes you needed for your post, the way you do things now just seem very mechanic. Also I belive that we need to be a bit selective about what we bring forth, as a bombardment of unnecessary information will just mean that we cannot see the forrest for the trees.

I do see how your posts can be a practical tool for some people, but to me it just seems like you are trying to win people over by doing alot of work and very little analysing.

Looking at Sally...

This seems very diplomatic, especially considering that it's his first mention of her in the game. His later mentions of her could go either way and nothing special popped out.

I think it's interesting how Ka here ignores the possibility of Sally being both busy and wolf.. I can't decide whether it's intentional or not. Hmmm...

Overall, looking at the wolves' quotes, I think it's interesting how little they talk about Sally in general. No, those two quotes above are not the only ones, of course, they are just two that caught my eye, but the wolves do speak of her quite little... (Of course this might be just due to reading the posts with the assumption that Sally is guilty.)

Actually, I'm pretty sure I have made a case against Nerwen. Not all in one post, granted, but I've said things about her here and there, before she started suspecting me, so it's not like I just suddenly put her on my suspicion list.

Sally, all I can recollect is that you echoed morm's suspicion of me. Now, a number of people– including a known innocent– agreed with his points on me at the time– but you're the only one who still heavily suspects me now that we know morm was a wolf. Logically, you can only be sincere about this if you think there's a case for it being a wolf-on-wolf ploy. Therefore you must state this case.

This exchange I find very interesting. Sally's tone is disturbing me, I can't phrase it any clearer, but that passage is the one that worries me most. It's sort of apologetic.. no, that's not quite the word, my English sucks today it seems. Whatever. As for Nerwen's reply, it's a very good point and I think Sally should answer it - of course she might well have other reasons for suspecting Nerwen, but yeah. I'd like to hear them.

Hmmm. The material I looked at (ie. Brinn's quotes & Sally's posts toDay) didn't provide me with as much clarity as I would have wished. Sally's status remains "leaning suspicious".

Anyone around?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I just had a look at most Gwath's posts (exept the very first) and the vast majority is simply one-liners or very very short, of course that need not be bad. The problem is that Gwath seems always to be defending him self or commenting on something, but never comes up with a suspicion. . .exept of course when he did not like Eonwe's list of suspects.

There is of course things that points to his innocents, especially the fact that he thought he could vote for him self. . . The wolves would probably have talked about voting, but who is to say if they talked about the technicalitys of voting? I think it is plausible they only discussed if they should vote for each other or not.

I know within the long post I didn't give much comment, but I dedicated a separate post providing my thoughts on all the players after those posts, based on the quotes. And that's still not enough?

Then that would defeat the whole purpose of gathering info about who said what about one another. This is something I did more for me than anything...to prevent myself from tearing out my hair in frustration as I sift through 1500 posts each time I want to find a certain quote.

Alright-y, I'm here too, finally.

A wolf could very well be genuinely confused about rep rules on Day1. I find that far more probable than that a wolf would be genuinely confused about ranger rules on Day2.

Nerwen always fails to vote on Day1, whatever her role.

I think sally seems a bit too apologetic, nervous and nice. If she's the last wolf that's understandble as there's quite a lot of pressure on her. On the other hand, she has said she's really stressed and that may affect her behaviour, so her nervousness doesn't necessarily mean anything.

It's funny, I don't suspect Rune at all, even though I have absolutely no reason to trust him. He baffles me a little by differing in his opinions from the rest of the village. That's nicely refreshing. (But... I'm wondering - do I recall correctly that that has been the trademark of a wolvish Rune actually? Hmmm... I have to keep an eye on him.) I can't really bring myself to distrust Brinn either... I guess it's just gut-feeling, then. And as for Nerwen, I feel my non-suspicion of her is just a bit more reasonable.

The others I suspect to some degree. Sally the most. Greenie seems kind of genuine, but I can so very well see her as a bold wolf. Rune's suspicion of Gwath strikes me as misguided, I think Gwath is probably an ordo... but I probably think that just because he's flown completely under my radar. I'm really unsure what to think of Kath and Ilya.

As for Gil, I think this pretty much sums it up:

Of course, the moddesses could just have picked his kill for him, but that would be totally unfair...

As for sally's eagerness to lynch Gil, it is indeed a bit weird. Why couldn't it have waited? The numbers favour us at the moment, so we could have afforded a double lynch, yes. But why make it if the subject is probably innocent? Why not wait and see a few Days? Like now Kath has provided us with a point that almost proves Gil's innocence. But an evil sally could have wanted to reduce the number of the innocents, for now that she has been left alone, she will have to walk a rocky path to win. Also, although she explained it, her enthusiasm to take part in the lynch of morm and Nog looks a bit questionable indeed... I don't think it's a bad idea to lynch her toDay, as we have plenty of Days to try. And honestly, I think if we don't lynch sally sooner, she will become an enigma later.

I understand the sentiment perfectly, but I think an innocent sally could ("could", not "would") have voted me nevertheless, which in turn could have made me trust her more. This being like this, sally just strikes me as more nervous than before. Also, she could have simply said "Lommy will vote me and I don't want to die so I'll vote someone else" but now she masks it as "lynching me won't profit the village", which makes me raise eyebrows. Because, really, we can very well afford losing an ordo right now.

Oh, that's true. However, her PM inbox could just have been full so that she wouldn't have received the wolf PMs.... so we can't rule her out either.

Greenie was a bold wolf in her very first game, so I wouldn't put anything past her.

Why is it we would want to lynch Gil in a few days?
It would not like having to wonder about him when we are under pressure, I would rather leave him be or get him out of the way at once.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I forgot to say that I will be leaving now. . .I am going to play some football with my father, but I will be back in a few hours.

I would think there would have been enough to think about in the double-lynch yesterDay. Also - granted, this did not occur to me either, so I can hardly blame sally for not thinking about it - it was wise to wait and see if there's a kill at all.

But why would a wolf-sally want to get rid of Gil in particular? Wouldn't she be more likely to try to get rid of somebody more involved? Gil isn't a threat to anybody at this point.

He's a threat in numbers, one more innocent to get out of her way. Also, suggesting triple lynch with anybody else but Gil as the third lynchee would have been a so-called political suicide...

edit: xed with Gwath

I cut of the start of the post as it did not strike me as odd. . .

Anyways Lommy, I find it slightly disturbing the way you change your opinion so fast. I thought you did not suspect me at all, only that you thought my case against Gwathagor was "misguided", but now me and him are your top suspects and Greenie has totaly disapeared from your list of suspects.

Frankly that makes very little sense and I am looking forward to the explanation, I could have understood it if it was my case against Gwath that had made you suspicous, but surely it cannot be the case since he is your top suspect as well.

I won't judge you on this alone as it is very easy to "see" a werewolf when you yourself is their target, but it does seem like you are going for the easy kills. Kath, Brinn, Greenie and Ilya would be very hard to get lynched, me and Nerwen less so and Gwath is the most likely lynch candidate of all.

Of course you can never suest Gil as you wanted Sally lynched for that very reason, in genneral your whole reasoning about why wolves would kill Gil made little sense.
-------------------------

Anyways I am under a lot of time pressiure right now, I need to get this paper about English Trade Unions in the 1800's done. . . If I don't I will fail my class as my examination is based on it.

I will be at the computer most of the day, but I won't have time to check in that often.
