This is beginning to look like Izzy from yesterday. Only today Sally is the flavor.

Sally definitely isn't helping things, though. She's not going about her self preservation in the right way. I'm actually starting to lean towards her as the Cobbler after all. I was thinking she was a White Pawn before, but now... but of course if she's a WereCreature she wants us to believe she's the Cobbler.

But then she's been like this for a while, and she has only now intensified it. Consistency says something I believe. That makes me think she is more likely to be a Black Pawn than any sort of Black Royalty.

If you're White, m'dear, you need to rethink your strategy. I'd love to protect you with my full weight, but you aren't making it easy.

Honey, I know you're clever; you'll figure it out.

I miss Nerwen.

And for the record, you're all going color blind. *hugs you all* It's not my fault I'm the way I am.

I'm thinking I do have it figured out. Not what you wanted me to "figure out", but what's really going on.

Stop this hinting nonsense. You aint the White Bishop. You're the Cobbler and you're paving the way for a false reveal and hoping you can get the White Bishop to reveal or at least make xemself vulnerable by disagreeing with your claim.

Mnemosyne · 02-25-2009, 06:47 PM

phantom, I don't think that's what she's hinting.

Absolutely, completely, and in all other ways....untrue.

I am not the White Bishop. I will at no point be saying that I am the White Bishop, the White Queen, or any black piece, for I am none of them.

Thank you for your time. Please try again.

Or better yet, try to catch a baddie. That'd be a lot more helpful, dearie.

Mnemosyne · 02-25-2009, 06:49 PM

If you want phantom to catch a baddie and you're not it, stop drawing attention to yourself, sally.

Hence why I'm telling all the ordos to leave me alone. Baddies can have at me all they want, but for the good of the village let me have my fun to myself and concentrate on someone else. I've got what I need to know, and intend to do the best I can with my findings. On about your business, children.

No, she's not the White Bishop, because I am!

And you're a wolf.

Yeah.

Har har, Dur.

Isabellkya · 02-25-2009, 09:11 PM

Day One
#28 Banter
#29 Thinks catching a baddie early on is of high importance
#30 Going to sleep
#143 Thinks it better to not discuss the Gifteds, so the baddies would have to figure it out on their own. We should be wary of any reveals.
#184 Gives a list of her thoughts on all of the players. Doesn't like Durelin's vote for Sally. Wouldn't mind seeing Fea lynched. Wants to keep an eye on Rikae, as well as Mnemosyne.
#187 Will probably vote for Fea, Eonwe or Gwath.
#202 A bit more wary about lynching Fea because of the last game, and the whole 'save Fea' going ons.
#208 Commentary and banter about previous game in relation to this game.
#213 Making a correction in a previous Vote tally.
#217 Votes for Gwath

Day Two
#243 Dislikes the two kills per night games. Thinks both Nerwen and Eomer were probably safe kills. With Eomer's death, she doesn't think Sally is the Werebear.
#313 Says she did not do a 180 according to Durelin.
Wants to reexamine everyone. Nog bothers her the most, then goes to list four reasons why.
#319 Makes a list and provides thoughts on everyone. Nog is her primary suspect.
#324 Vote tally
#331 Votes Nog
#333 Commentary on voting thus far

Day Three
#383 Discusses game mechanics. Points out to Sally that phantom has voted the same as her.
#387 Discusses specifics of ties.

All in all. Brin seems pretty consistent. The only things I think are questionable - are her matching votes with phantom, As well as the seeming leap from being comfortable with Nog; to him being her top suspect. I can only guess that the leap was due to her not being able to post, but was able to keep up on the goings on.
She seems quite sensible and innocent to me.

X'd with everything since Mnemosyne's #477

Well, dearie, I believe that you have voted exactly the same, so really...

Isabellkya · 02-25-2009, 09:38 PM

When did you think there was something funny about me in the first place Fea?

True indeed, phantom.

Edit. Fixed a typing error.

Isabellkya · 02-25-2009, 10:09 PM

Day One
#17 Banter
#24 Banter
#102 Votes Sally, reason is random; a gut-reaction. Says there are a few who she would like to get rid of already.

Day Two
#270 Laments the death of Gwath Thinks Brin did a 180 from Fea to Gwath. Wouldn't mind seeing Fea gone.
#273 Says people should vote for who they think are guilty. Admits her vote for Sally was not the case.

Day Three
#395 Posts her list of thoughts on everyone from yesterDay that she wasn't able to post. Votes phantom. Feels more certain about him at the moment, though wouldn't mind seeing Sally go either.
#396 Says Sally is acting weird. Has no idea on Brin. Will mostly focus on phantom.
#398 Forgot about the Cobbler.
#399 Says Sally the BR was attacked by the BQ, but protected by phantom the BK. Or Sally is the Cobbler.
#405 Banter
#409 Wonders if someone's vote could've counted as two. Replies to Rikae's question about Sally being the Cobbler - because she is confusing.
#410 Could switch vote to Izzy.
#423 Clarifies the manipulation of phantom. Makes a list on everyone. Probable/maybe baddies - Sally, Brin, Izzy/ Hansy, Lariren, Mnemosyne.
#428 Admits mixing up of phantom's posts.
#461 Says she is the WB and phantom a wolf.
#465 Banter.
#466 Banter.
#471 Banter.

I know there was further discussion on Durelin thinking Brin did a 180 on Day One, though I can't find it. It must've been commented on by others. Would've been nice to see a clarification on it, as I don't get how she saw it. I'll have to look again. Or I completely missed it somehow.
She has gone from no idea to undecided, though there is a pinch of unease about her.

X;d with everyone after my last post at #487.

satansaloser2005 · 02-25-2009, 10:14 PM

Dude, maybe I'm blind but I still don't see what is so inherently evil about Izzy. I'm not saying she's blindingly innocent, but I don't see why she got so much attention yesterDay. I'll keep an eye on her, but for now I think we should leave her alone. I mean the only reason I voted her yesterDay was to save Noggie (I know, that sounds stupid, but I don't care because it's the truth) and besides her self-save vote (which did ring bells, I'll admit) I didn't see too much that was suspicious about her. And no one should accuse me of flipflopping on this because I said the exact same thing when I voted her. So yeah. That is all.

Rikae · 02-25-2009, 10:15 PM

Ok, I'm decided.

++Izzy

For reasons stated before, plus the no-analysis analyses - a habit I would like to strongly discourage before impressionable newbies pick it up.

EDIT: X'd with Sally.

Isabellkya · 02-25-2009, 10:17 PM

Brin will have to make her vote first, I'm still quite unsure.

I'm going to look at Lariren more, maybe Fea and Mnemosyne as well if there is time.

At the moment, I could vote for either Lariren or Sally.
Though if Sally is the Cobbler, probably not. Then again - better a Cobbler than an innocent; if we can't get a wolf or bear.

X'd with Sally and Rikae.
