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

[Beregond]

I've having a hard time with you, Mac! You're still high on my list of suspects, but when I ask myself why, I can't put my finger on it. I might read through to see. Either you're simply innocent, or very dogdy! It's cruel, but I almost want to vote for you just to find out. You may be right about the bandwagon vote yesterDay, but it was that or an essentially random vote. I'll vote again tonight with a more informed gut and hopefully a clear head and if it looks like bandwagoning, so be it!

I'm curious, Fea, if you have a reason you'd like to share for sparing Mac?

On an aside, I'm a bit bemused by the idea that it may be bad to restate other people's opinions and use them in one's own conclusions. Sure, it would be great to be the first person to notice a quote that looks suspicious, but most of the time other people see the same things you do, and often write about them quicker.

Alright, I might make a list now.

[Macalaure]

Looks like I'm in for a hard night again.

Well, bring them on!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

So what if I am slightly drunk!? You would be as well if you spend all day selling Brie to people totaly ignorant about the quality of cheese.

Listen now and listen well, I am going to go out in the kitchen and fetch a liter of milk, I am going to drink it, come back, vote Mac and of course read the two pages I have yet to read!

. . . I mean. . . Then I am going to cast my vote for someone undefined.

[Meneltarmacil]

Actually, it's not about revenge, craziness, being a wraith, or anything else, Mac. It's just that I really have no idea what to do, found a few odd things in your posts, and can't figure out anything else.

I'm sorry, really.

[Macalaure]

Alright, that might've sounded a bit too flippant.

I mean, I have two votes and now two people I suspect state that they suspect me on suspect reasons that might or might not be subject to change til they vote. Now I'm sitting here waiting for the things to happen and wondering whether I will have to fight til the last minute again or not and whether I will make it this time and whether I'll be forced to vote for somebody I think is likely innocent again instead of someone I actually suspect.

crossed since my last post

Too bad as I have kind of counted on you to be one of those who actually read what is said unlike some who just pop in and vote.

By insistence I mean the way you replied to Rikae and don't seem to see that what Durelin said was very likely IC. I also think you're going a bit too far with that up there.

Hey, there's still time to find alternatives.

Sounds soo familiar...

I see why people suspect you. On Day1 your speculation did look like you were giving hints to the other side and toDay your reactions to Rikae's "reveal" looked bad indeed.

But you make yourself very innocent otherwise... So a skilfull wolf or just a sometimes misguided ordo? I might vote for you but I'm reluctant to do it as it's only Day2 now.

Like with anyone, it's only our death that will confirm our innocence - or guilt. But being an ordo we should not be thinking about if some of our suspicions were not too well-received or if our suspecting someone were to produce a counter-attack or anything. The sincerity of our words are proved afterwards but our goal is to draw the baddies forwards before the game ends.

Not that I'd like to share, no...

Seriously? You're not thinking it's a bit late for IC posting?

[Durelin]

Durelin stared broodingly at the glowing embers in the fireplace. Emnity filled the room, thick as smoke. They were surely doomed.

Why would we talk about Strider?

Because there's been speculation about every other role. I just thought it was strange, nothing more, nothing less.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Because it can be useful to have a good idea who is playing the Ranger role.

Which seems to be what Durelin's getting at.

What I can't figure out about this game is what's with the mysterious 'obvious' reveals so early on? Rikae playing seer, Durelin posting only in Ranger garb (and third person)... What is this about? Is it just a reignited desire for simple playfulness?

Or is there something secret going on with roles? Or like...

I just can't figure out why ordos would set themselves up to be lynched unless they're taking one for the team in effort to set up a bandwagon so the people later on can analyze what happened?

Like... it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm very tempted to vote Dury as I don't know what she's playing at. I feel like the Ranger wouldn't make a point of making herself wraith-bait.

[Mirandir]

I agree with Fea. Why would a Ranger make such a point of being out in the open? That's like screaming "Here I am! Come kill me!" That's just poor gameplay in my opinion. Unless, as Fea said, Durelin is playing at something else. Seems mighty suspicious to me.

Exactly what I have been trying to say. But now as you say it as well I'm getting a bit reluctant to do that...

Exactly that Fea! Sad if that has never occured to you.

But the problem sure is that these we have (Rikae and Dury) do not look like they fitted the description of an innocent laying a trap.

So you say it doesn't make sense with you? But how about if one of them (or both) were wraiths / Ferny / Frodo with a stinking morals? Wouldn't it make sense then?

If you look real close, you'll notice a cross post between me going hush-hush- and Rikae showing back up. Once she nixed what I thought she was doing, I went back to transparency in the system. Innocents with nothing to hide should have no problem revealing their innocent intentions.

It's occurred to me that I want to sacrifice a fellow wolf every time I play an evil role. But there never seems to be any support from my colleagues...

++Durelin

Support my vote if you want.

[Durelin]

If you think I'm a suicidal baddy (who could have easily "flown under the radar" as many put it), so be it. You all deserved more of my foolishness after being so foolish yourselves, thinking my character-role was anything else.

Distraction pushed aside with regret, I will make up my mind who to vote for in the next 20 minutes anyway...

Dury could be Frodo trying to join the wraiths and be doing it that way. Someone did say that if they were Frodo they would have fun with it, and maybe Dury's idea of fun is becoming an extra baddie and helping them win.

[Lariren Shadow]

Rikae: ++Greenie (Greenie 1)
Aganzir: ++Mac (Greenie 1, Mac 1)
Greenie: ++Nogrod (Greenie 1, Mac 1, Nogrod 1)
Menel: ++Mac (Greenie 1, Mac 2, Nogrod 1)
Lommy: ++Aganzir (Greenie 1, Mac 2, Nogrod 1, Aganzir 1)
Fea: ++Durelin (Greenie 1, Mac 2, Nogrod 1, Aganzir 1, Durelin 1)

[Durelin]

Fea, you seem off to me. You go back and forth between a knowing hush-hush to "we should talk about all the roles", and you're nearly as jumpy as Nogrod when it comes to conspiracy theories. Overall you're being rather boring, especially for you.

[Brinniel]

Of those who have already been voted for, Greenie is the one I'd most likely vote for. My opinions of her haven't changed.

Nogrod's suspicions of Durelin do seem rather silly, however I don't think he has evil intentions. It seems more likely he's a misguided innocent with flawed reasoning.

I haven't been paying much attention to Mac, probably because his posts don't strike me either way. As of now, I can't see any strong enough reasoning to lynch him, but I definitely would like to have a closer look at him come toMorrow.

I still find Fea suspicious. And the whole seer reaction doesn't help.

Sally also remains on my suspicion list for her posts yesterDay. But she was hardly around toDay, and I'd like to hear more from her.

EDIT: X-ed a whole bunch

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Stop this nonsense!

Fea is just like an independent candidate, too good to be voted for!
