Tol-in-Gaurhoth LIV: The Council of Evil

[Strongbow]

(Cross my fingers that I don't cross with anybody)

Boro - either Gwath or I are furry, eh? You've already given me reprieve, so I don't think that today I'll make a putsch against you. I'm wary, but no longer suspicious.

Agan - first off: sauna's are instruments of evil. Everybody knows this. Now that that bit of important business has been cleared out, I'd have to say that you're directing the bandwagon to shed suspicion on Gwath. Not to say that I don't mind, seeing as Gwath went after me a bit.

Eonwe - says I'm being oversuspected. I like this. This not taken into consideration, Eonwe also doesn't really cause a blip on my radar for the moment.

Ilya - I'm up to something, apparently. Not so. Not suspicious, but not innocent enough for me.

Gwath - Says I'm the Bear, then goes to radio silence.

Basically, I don't think we should jump to conclusions. Who knows? We could be missing the villains altogether.

Edit: I forgot a bracket.

Edit2: For English! I forgot what it was in my Eonwe line.

[Eönwë]

Only 15 minutes left- hurry up!

[Eönwë]

Ok, I have to go now.

This seems to have been a very unproductive Day so far (and we only have a quarter of an hour left). Since my "list" post I haven't seen anything to really change my opinion, so I vote:

++Gwathagor

edit: x-ed. Really? Well, it's too late now. I might be back around if so, but I'm not sure.

[Aganzir]

I'm back.

No it's still a bit over an hour till deadline.

Off to read (not that there is much).

[Aganzir]

Nog you're making me laugh an awful lot.

Nah I'm a sweet little werewolf who'd never ever devour anyone.

My first comment regarding Gwath was more of an attempt to get some talk than a real suspicion. And although I have phrased it that way a few times, I don't think Gwath was suspecting Bowie - it could rather be interpreted as him trying to make others suspect him. Or then grasping at straws because there's nothing else.

I agree with Boro that Eönwë looks the most innocent of those who suspected Gwath.
I don't find Menel that suspicious either, mainly because I agree with him. But I do agree with Boro (gah why am I agreeing with him all the time again? I don't want to!) about the last phrase. It would look far less suspicious if it was "like a traitor &c" instead of "not unlike a traitor &c". Then again I find the way Menel phrases things always suspicious so I could give him the benefit of doubt for today.
At least Ilya is being honest, but I suspected her because of that in last game because honesty is as good a cover for a wolf as any.
I don't know about Bowie. In a way he seemed a bit overreactive given the amount of suspicion Gwath had expressed, but apart from that he's quite innocentish.

Bah no way! You're hurting my nationalist pride (earlier I wasn't aware I had any)!

Also, I don't think I'm directing the bandwagon to Gwath. I was the first to come up with the subject but I haven't been pursuing him since. And I'm unlikely to vote for him unless I really can't come up with anyone else.

edit: xed with Gollum and Noggins

[Gollum the Great]

I may be late to give an ending for the day by an hour or two, I'll be away from the internet and not a position to get at it. But with the extended night I don't think this should be a problem.

[Aganzir]

I assume we should stop talking in half an hour anyway?

Also Gollum, did the seer get to dream already although there was no official night (see, I keep asking you questions again although you're the mod )?

And Eönwë,

Eönwë, why do you think I might be the bear? Why not a wolf?

Only because the finger that points to me will be cut down swiftly and surely.

This being said, I'm not really going to hound Gwath because of the radio silence. While lurking is a tell, it can also be a lack of time.

Ergo:

++Brinn

Last standing, first down. And a little to open about her roleclaims.

x'd with Boro and Agan.

[Nogrod]

Where's that sneakin' lil' vermin when you need him? Hey you Gollum-creature, what's the deadline?

Only two votes in, right? So it's not DL yet says my troll-brain.

EDIT: X'd with Agan... okay someone else thinks the same, good.

[Gollum the Great]

Hmmmmm.......


I thought that the DL was in about an hour. Who made up this "in 15 minutes" thing? or perhaps someone thought we were still onto 5 PM EST.

[Nogrod]

A quick-list to get some order into my own head as well.

Aganzir - not a Day1 lynch. Should be left to the mercy of the bad baddies on the first Days.

Boromir88 - see Agan.

Brinniel - the sneakiest ever ww-player who once again looks soo genuine with her happiness about having no role. Should be lynched just to be sure.

Eonwë - tends to end up being an easy lynch in the erly Days and basically turns out innocent. Not my choice toDay.

Gwathagor - see Eonwë and multiply that bad luck times ten.

Meneltarmacil - see Eonwë.

Ilya - nothing to say thus far.

Isabellkya - not seen around...

Kath - see Izzy.

Sally - see Izzy.

Shasta - see Izzy.

Strongbow - newbies shouldn't be lynched on Day1 without good reasons.


Note1. Funny that people are kind of alphabetically organised in groups.

Note2. One third not posting on Day1 is bad. Although I wouldn't have posted either if Agan hadn't told me the game was on already. So I'm not holding it against them - nor do I hold it as an rgument for their innocence. For example I came online an hour ago or something and had no idea of my role as I logged in. So it's also perfectly possible they are in a same situation. And mathematically one of them at least is against us.

Note3. We seem to be facing even tougher choices than on normal Day1 because of the lack of posting / posters. But let's not call them random. Give reasons for your votes, please, even if they aren't heavyweight-stuff.

*goes back thinking*

[Nogrod]

Blahh! The sporty-player in me tells me I should vote for Brinn or Ilya then.

Another choice is picking someone from that Gwath-waggon as I do also agree it looks more lupine than Gwath's original statement Agan pointed out. The wolves need easy and street-credible causes to use on Day1 and that one looks nice looking at the overall silence and uneventfulness of this Day. The problem is that we seem to have there the usual suspects once again...

Or maybe we should start on concentrating on this "let's suspect those who suspected Gwath of suspecting Bowie" -gang?

[Boromir88]

To be the unsporty one...

Isabellkya - not seen around...

Kath - see Izzy.

Sally - see Izzy.

Shasta - see Izzy.~Nogrod

I would have no qualms about voting for one of these four, the problem is anyone of them can just be oh so entertaining to have around.

Or, I guess Ilya.

I would think if one really wanted to be unsporty, the choice would be Gwath. (No offense meant Eonwe, just seems like he's been getting unjustly booted recently).

[Nogrod]

Of the Gwath-suspecters this looks to me the most lupine:

Nicely conditional formulation leaving a door open to act on it later as it would fit her ("no, I was not on him actualy, I said I was holding off" or "weel, as I said I have nothing better right now and I have alredy voiced my suspcion on him").

Bah people always want to get me killed by wolves! I'm much more useful alive, I tell you! Think how silent it will be later on when a third of the village is away the whole day and I'm dead.

Anyway I agree about practically everything on your list (garr I don't want to agree with people!).

Right now I think I could vote Brinn although I'm not all that sure about her either. But at least she voted for an innocent, and after her performance in last game I'm not that happy with giving her the benefit of doubt.

edit: xed with Nog & Boro

[Aganzir]

I rather didn't vote anyone who hasn't been around today. It's better to have at least a little suspicion than cast a completely random vote.

I could go for Ilya too, though.

Is there really no one else here but us three? Five votes cast out of 13 is quite a small number.

[Boromir88]

Bah people always want to get me killed by wolves! I'm much more useful alive, I tell you!~Agan

I could vote for you today and pull together a big mock-fight tomorrow to make the evil ones at night believe it's worth keeping you alive?

The benefit would be two-fold, it would save me from making a disastrous decision at the end for the ruin of all and it would certainly be helping you out. What say you?

Now either I must have faulty logic toDay or... then this is físhy indeed!
