T-I-G LVI: Panic at the Prancing Pony

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I will not vote for:

Rikae (she's trying too persistently to draw attention to herself; I shan't give it )
Mac (he's interesting to have around later)
Mirandir (she'll kill me in RL if I kill her first day of her first game)
Nogrod (I still kind of feel guilty about last game)
Beregond (newbie gets a free day one pass)

I will not abstain from voting for, if need be:

Durelin
Lariren Shadow
Shasta
Lommy
Aganzir
Nerwen
Rune
A Little Green

I'd rather vote for:

Gollum
Menel
Sally
Legate

I shall now go watch Grey's Anatomy. If you need me or Lari, we're in front of the television.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

because I stole her list so I wouldn't have to get one from elsewhere.

My bad.

I'm totally willing to lynch Brinn today. No joke.

Heheh.

I don't know whether I've said the same about you before, or only thought it, but either way, fair enough.

True, true...


It's frustrating - I just reread most of the entire day to find something suspicious, but I didn't, and I don't want to construct something just to justify a vote. I didn't even find something semi-suspicious to blow up and put pressure on somebody to see what happens. Very dissatisfying...

[Nerwen]

Okay. That was quite a headache to get through.

All this talk about Ferny and Frodo and what their motivations are and what they should do... well, certainly, it was going to get talked about on Day One, just to get conversation going... but it seems to me that it's gone on a little too long, and I'd say the odds are pretty good that certain nefarious people are trying to send signals to each other. I know I'm not adding anything new by saying this, but Mac's thing about how Ferny could let the Wraiths know his identity looks just awful (at the moment this is making Lommy and Legate look quite good to me). I'm also wondering about Evil!Frodo trying to clue the Wraiths in on his identity, but I don't know if I should get more specific.

EDIT: X'd since Rikae at #152... and now there's a whole lot more to read. Oww!

While there are reasons to find Aganzir suspicious, starting with her random vote, I don't think that's one of them. That's what I assumed Lommy meant, too.

Ordos work for the village's benefit, so as long as he is one, that's the side he has to play, even if it makes things more difficult later. Don't you think I might love to assign myself the role of unofficial cobbler (in all the games I've played, I've never once been a cobbler)? Only the moddess can tell us for sure, but it seems to me like Frodo turning "cobbler" before he's been turned into a wraith isn't really playing fair.

Well no, Frodo's not a cobbler. He is on our side...until the wraiths try to kill him. I can't imagine switching sides so suddenly is an easy business, but at the same time a cursed role could be a fun role to play and honestly, I wouldn't blame Frodo if he did want to be turned at some point...it's certainly more fun than say, turning himself in. In any case, Frodo has to be prepared in case he gets turned. I doubt he'd act cobblerish...he wouldn't want to stand out too much because if he gets turned before he gets lynched then he could become an easy lynching target...and once a wraith, he certainly wouldn't want that. While it may be easiest for the village, I think asking the Ringbearer to reveal on Day One only so he can get lynched isn't a very fair request. This WW game is exactly what it is...a game. It's not about winning or losing as much as having fun. A player should be able to get the most they can out of their role...simply giving yourself up may be easy, but it's certainly not as fun for anyone. If I were Frodo, I wouldn't reveal just because a couple people told me to, especially not on Day One. Surely I'm not the only one who feels this way?

But I really thought of trying it after the last game which wasn't the first one where I got lynched basically because I spoke a lot and tried to actually say something and suspect people openly to get conversation going, and not only tried to survive. I was actually thinking of this one as a trial of just "surviving" -game, playing like Kath or Eomer or... But one's nature seems to be stronger than one's reason.

Anyway it's bad when the game only gets interesting at the hour you need to go to sleep.

Stop crying, otherwise we will end up having the same discusion we have had the last 5 times we have played ww together. . .

Do you guys really think the content of my single post was some sort of strategy? I hate to disappoint you, but I have a RL and it's more important than WW. I had already taken a sleeping pill at the time I made my post, and while I would've liked to contribute more, I also didn't want to crash on top my keyboard. I hoped to post this morning but I didn't have time, and I've been in class all day. I've had an exhausting week and while I'd like to, I simply don't have tons of energy for WW right now. I'm sorry if I sound irritable, but I am tired and I have no patience for anyone criticising me due to the lack of substance.

.

That is quite a strong reaction considering no proper accusations have been raised against you, it seems like an overkill to bitch so much about so little.

To be honest I have no understanding for the RL is more important than WW atitude. If RL was so Important you should not have signed up, I can understand that RL obligations get in the way, but one cannot expect to get special treatment because of it.

Also it is weird that it is us who is the culprits. . .it was not us who chose to take that sleeping pill, if it ment such a difference, then maybe you should not have taken it before writting a post ? (just a thought)

I'll be seriously disappointed in you if you choose to vote for me for that reason alone

.

Again quite a strong respons considering that all my reasons to vote for people where silly. . .

Anyways don't you think I was disappointet when I found your teeth imbeded in my throat last game, after I had given you the benifit of the doubt?
I would be lying if I said that I did not long to place a rusty brie smelling knife in your back!

[Meneltarmacil]

If there's one thing this game has taught me thus far, it's that I shouldn't play Werewolf when I've already got both school and my D&D campaign to deal with. I can't possibly keep up with all these posts.

Oh well. Nogrod, Aganzir, and Brinniel all seem to be making sense to me thus far and I'm not voting for them.

Macalaure may be stumbling over the fact that he's a wraith and can't twist the villagers' words into anything suspicious, as his last list gives mostly "innocent" and "no clue". Gollum's bantering could be a way to look alert and talkative without actually contributing everything.

I guess I'll go with

++Macalaure

for now.

Heh, love you Fea. Looks like she figured out I'll stop randomly appearing in her kitchen to make her food if she kills me off Day 1.
