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

[Brinniel]

We still have some 45 minutes, right? My head's obviously not clear anymore, so I need some time to think. I'm sorry again for blowing up, I guess getting used to my horrible class schedule has made me hypersensitive. I just felt rather offended for being initially suspected due to my absence and then being told I shouldn't have signed up at all if my RL is more important. That sort of comment just makes me want to drop out because of course RL is more important than WW.

But I don't blame any of you for suspecting me for being overly-defensive; I was. I sometimes let my emotions get the better of me and I shouldn't have let them affect my gameplay, but I did.

So it seems the top candidates now are Mac, me, Gollum, and Lommy. Of those, I find Gollum the most suspicious with half of his posts being banter...but he only has two votes right now.

Who's left to vote? And most importantly, can double lynches occur?

[Rikae]

I think it was: no double lynches, first one to reach the maximum votes dies.

I'd actually prefer to see Gollum go than Lommy, I think. I could switch my vote, if you want to lynch him.

[Macalaure]

I would really like to avoid voting Lommy.

She and I have both 4 votes, Gollum has 2. Brinn, if you want to vote for him, and Rikae would consider retracting, I would vote for him, too (even though that would mean lynching him to save myself twice in a row).

[Nerwen]

++Gollum.

Because I have no idea why Lommy has got so many votes, and Mac is seeming less suspicious than he did.

EDIT: X'd with Brinn.

[Mirandir]

Wow because all this vote changing doesn't look suspicious AT ALL. Seriously, I left for what, 15 minutes and everyone loses their sense of logic.

Seconded.

[Rikae]

Well, I, for one, have a pretty selfish reason for keeping Mac around. While he's werewolfing, I get to eat all the ice cream.
It took me forever to convince him to play another game with me, and I don't want him voted off so quick.

Besides, Gollum doesn't like rock music. That's reason enough to lynch him.

--Lommy

++Gollum

In case I don't live to see toMorrow, I'll leave you by saying I still find Nerwen and Beregond creepy.

[Macalaure]

So be it, then.

++Gollum

[Nerwen]

And I forgot to say that I didn't like the reasons people voted Brinn... only that last Frodo-post of hers doesn't look too good at all.

We have retractable votes, don't we?

EDIT: X'd with Brinn, Mirandir and Mac.

In dueling wizards ww, everyone is a potential "Frodo". If everyone used that as a reason to play only for themselves and not for the side they found themselves on at any given time, the game would break down entirely.

I understand. I'm a team player and I always try to do what's best for my team. It's more fun to work together than alone. But I guess the struggle I'm having with Frodo is that while he's on our side now, if he gets turned he has to play for the other team and do his best to help them out. So I wonder, does Frodo prepare himself in case he gets turned so he doesn't become an easy target, or does he not worry about it until the scenario actually occurs. I would imagine that playing a loyal ordo, but being able to switch sides quickly without being spotted is the best way this role can be played. But I'm not very familiar with cursed roles, so maybe I'm completely off on this.

EDIT: Xed with Mac and Rikae

[Brinniel]

Wait...we can retract? Boy, I really need to read the rules..

Yeah, I'd vote Gollum. Because Mac doesn't look particularly suspicious to me and I'm not comfortable with lynching Lommy either.

EDIT: X-ed with Nerwen

[Brinniel]

++Gollum

Because half of his posts are banter. And when he finally gets down to business, he doesn't exactly provide much in substance. Can't say I like his vote either. He was around long enough to write 30 posts...and all he can come up with is a random vote for me?

Can someone explain to me why my Frodo-posts are suspicious? I'm just trying to psycho-analyse the role, that's all. But I've never taken psychology before, so maybe I should just stop.

All bandwagons and vote changes look suspicious one form or another. But what was so logical about the voting 15 minutes ago?

[Brinniel]

Hah, that's a good enough reason for me.

Off to take my bath...

There was at least some justification for the votes. Then everyone suddenly started changing their minds and switching votes and it all looked very bandwagonish in my opinion.

Because they look like you're trying to send coded messages and/or distract people, that's why.
