Just got back from some christmas stealing and there's not too much doing on the thread? Already I miss Phantom and his hemorrhagic style of posting.

Thankee, Strongbow, for the werebear tip. Glad to see at least somebody's up to speed.

I probably should check in before running off to bed. So yeah I'm here...sort of. Just don't expect a lot of activity from me in these first few Days. Surely you can understand, being the holidays and all.

After a month of 48 hour Days in the last game, suddenly 24 hours seems so short.

I'm gonna have vote early too I think...sometime in the morning. I still have to do last minute Christmas shopping and I don't know if I'll be back before deadline. At the slow pace this Day's been running so far, it'll probably have to be a completely random vote. Because I can't see how I'm supposed to have any clue at this stage...

Hello all.

I'm werewolf.

Therefore I want to help hunt down those who call themselves werewolves yet aren't and wrongly kill us good servants of Morgoth under the name of my noble kin.

I am naturally suspicious of Alatar88 because he once was a mighty servant of the valar. Also, I'm suspicious of Gwath because of his maybe-you-knew-because-you're-the-bear comment, and of Brinn because her post looks forced.

Gollum, has the seer dreamed already?

I'm happy we have the bear because the chances are good enough that the wolves and the bear try to kill each other.

Unfortunately for you, I got Spore as a birthday present and as I didn't have time to install it yesterday, I'm going to get acquainted with it now. Back later.

Boromir88 · 12-23-2008, 07:31 AM

Aim for the troll! Kill the troll! Bring it down! Bring it down!

Sorry, wrong wizard.

In that case I'm going to disappear to some unbeknownst place for thousands of years and make a completely useless appearance at some other random point in time.

Place nice wolves, bear, and good luck to all.

I will never be able to compete with the phantom

, but I will certainly do my best. I thought we were still in night phase, and hence why I hadn't posted until just now.

That's precisely what a bloody-hungry Agan werewolf, who eats people at night, would wish us to believe. You're playing with fire my dear, and last I looked no werewolf liked fire.

Gwath the werebear is a deadly creature, it would serve us to get rid of it just about as quickly as we would a werewolf. One time, I was a seer and faked to be the werebear so I could stay a live a little longer, ooh I loved that village.

Wolves prowl. You should know this better than any, Agan. They'll put forward something, merely for the sake of putting something forward. With this reasoning in hand, I also have slight suspicions for Boro.

More to come? Maybe. I'd like to hear what our resident psychic, Shasta, has to say.

Boromir88 · 12-23-2008, 09:14 AM

I guess I should say also for today, I would like to extend a bit of courtesy to Menel. I've battled with Menel and gotten him killed far too many times on Day 1, I extend a promise on this day (and this day only) not to shoot an arrow into your sweet spot sir dragon.

The feeling is mutual my good Balrog

The only darn computer that has Windows is apparently broken again and I couldn't play Spore so I decided to help my mum with Christmas preparations instead.

It's difficult not to, given that more than half of us are fire creatures of sorts.

Gwath the werebear. Sounds good.

Why should I know that better than any?

It's a shame there are so few of us. The discussion hasn't started rolling properly even though we're halfway through the day already.

Let's see if I can do something about it.

Guilty
Gwath. Because of that "Maybe you are the werebear and that's how you knew." suggestion.
Brinn. Checking in with a forced-looking post without having anything special to say. Then again I always find her forced-looking (see my very good case against her in WW XXXX

), except in last game. It'd serve her right to be lynched. Grr.

Innocent
Menel gives an innocent impression.
Strongbow. I like him for now. Besides he behaves the way I do (ie tells how wolves tend to act). I'm assuming you're not totally unfamiliar with werewolf although this is your first game (at least here)?
Eönwë is being himself ie probably innocent.

Neither
Boro is impossible to read. I'm watching him.
Ilya. Popped in but said nothing special.
Isabellkya
Kath
Nogrod
Sally
Shasta

My suspicions are due to change before the end of the day.

Are we having double lynches? I don't remember reading about it. Anyways even if they are for use I think it's rather obvious we should avoid them, what with there being so few players.

So there are 13 of us. In the worst case (ie an innocent is killed every day and night and the gifteds aren't of any help) we're dead meat after day 3. Unfortunately for some of us (:P) I don't think we can afford to lynch people just because they are quiet.

Meneltarmacil · 12-23-2008, 10:52 AM

Though I am loath to bring such a complaint against one of my winged bretheren, I do find Gwathagor's accusation against Strongbow to be a bit out of line. It seems like Gwath is grasping at straws to find something to say, not unlike a traitor distracting us from his plans.

However, he may just be trying to get us talking, and not be a traitor at all. We'll just have to see what comes.

Well everybody must grasp at straws to make any accusations at this stage. With me it's just that "Maybe you're the werebear &c" that raises my alarms. There was first this joking question/accusation and after Strongbow (can I call you Bowie? It'd be funny

) answered, Gwath had to make sure everybody would at least consider it that Bowie was the bear.

Personally I think it'd be pretty bold for a newbie to come tell what the bear is if he was one himself.
