To Her Moddess: There is no such thing as too much Rings, alone or in company. I just figured you wouldn't want to do four hours straight. Not to worry; I'm willing to repeat episodes (heck, I've already repeated 2/3 of the ones we've listened to).

And now I'm getting out of here before Esty sics a skwerl on us.

(That's what she said)

Heh, I'm sure you would.

Oi! That's Phantom's line, you pox-ridden wench!

Macalaure · 03-20-2009, 02:07 PM

Tending suspicious:
Durelin - what I and Nogrod said before.
Nogrod - bad feeling there. I highly doubt both Nogrod and Durelin are ducks, which doesn't make it easier for me.

Unknown:
Fea - strict posting requirements, presumably. It's easy to hide behind those, though.
Brinn - hindered by requirements and/or real life. Impossible to tell.
Mith - no way of knowing.
Kath - ditto.
Nienna - I don't have any idea.
Gwath - we all know it's hard to get a grip on the game the first two days, but come on, try!
Lommy - I can usually figure her out fairly well, but not this time. That could mean she's evil, or that it's just her role/requirement.
Nilp - *shrug*

Tending innocent:
wilwa - seems most sane of everybody.
Izzy - seemed innocent so far.
Nerwen - no alarms (which, since I tend to suspect her when she's innocent, doesn't put me at ease).
Rikae - no reason to suspect.
Lari - pretty confident of her innocence.

Well this wasn't as enlightening as I thought. At least I now know who I won't vote for. The game setup allows too many people to get away with little, which leaves us completely in the dark about them. Eventually we have to go start lynch them. Come on folks, I'm not exactly keeping up with mine, and I haven't been modfired yet.

Kath · 03-20-2009, 03:07 PM

I'm a bit lost at the moment. There seem to be secret messages or if not secret then messages that I don't understand at any rate and a lot of randomness and our mods cluttering up the thread.

So I'm going to run through the player list, see if I end up with anything. I think I'm just going to have a look at the second Day though, Day 1 was just ... too mad.

Fea - despite whatever these restrictions are I think she could post something of some use. As with Nilp, one more Day.

Brinn - after her complaints I voted for her because she only bantered at a time when she hadn't had a chance to get back online her first post toDay is annoying bantery.

Wilwa - poor thing got blasted by Mac! The 'maybe the wolves killed him/her because they thought they were the Seer' argument always comes up and although I think his argument was somewhat over the top I think wilwa has been evil enough times that she would know Seer comments on a Day when there had been no Night for a dream is pretty unlikely.

Durelin - not entirely seeing Mac and Nog's suspicion of her. Her first post of the Day seems pretty solid even though she was wrong about the Ranger thing. Interesting catch on Mira's lover comment.

Nogrod - good catch on the one kill and what it might mean. Odd argument back against Mac though. Haha I think anyone playing this game via banter alone will want to kill him for his comments toDay.

Izzy - I don't know whether it's because I saw sally's post explaining Shasta before I read through the thread but Izzy did seem to be very slow catching that he was Mira's grief-mad lover. Again though I'm not sure that speaks to guilt or innocence. Really odd post from her about who might be a duck, it just seems to have come out of nowhere and doesn't feel like her usual style.

Rikae - I forget how aggressive her playing style is sometimes. Of course she's the same way whether innocent or guilty but I have to remember to sort of mentally step backward at some of her comments. I'm only mentioning that because I think she has the same problem as Gwath sometimes in that her posting style gets her lynched.

Lari - her confusion over the lover role doesn't suggest anything one way or the other. Not convinced though about this confusion over the types of baddies: Well there goes my whole "maybe there isn't one because only, sort of, Mira died". After the previous part of the post it's a bit odd.

Mac - some interesting thoughts about why the ducks would kill Mira. Argumentative toDay! For all he knows we have a contingent of newbies as the ducks.

Gwath - looked helpful at the beginning of the Day but as we know the narration holds no clues not so much any more. That said he did pick up on the lover stuff. Back to his not so helpful style again now though.

Lommy - liking Lommy so far toDay, maybe just 'cause she's arguing back, but I think that's a good sign.

Nilp - not exactly helpful. I'd say one more Day's grace to see if he decides to play the game or carry on as he is.

So, what have I got?

No idea - as I was going through I just couldn't see anything that interesting from the first three, the others for reasons above:
Nienna
Mith
Nerwen
Nilp
Fea
Nog - just can't decide on him.

Possibly innocent:
Lommy
Mac - for all that I said I think he's an impassioned innocent.
Rikae
Durelin

Possibly not:
Gwath - having been given a Day's grace from sally, in fact having needed to have a Day's grace from sally he could try to help out more.
Lari
Izzy
wilwa
Brinn

That's about where I am right now.

EDIT: I put my list into paragraphs because it was very hard to read.

Agreed.

Brinniel · 03-20-2009, 04:11 PM

Some thoughts:

While I do disagree with him on some things, Nogrod does look innocent for the most part.

I think Fea would have more interest and enthusiasm if she had a special role, in spite of any strict behavioural requirements she may have. So my guess is she's probably an ordo.

Rikae also looks innocentish to me. I actually do believe her on some things, even if she is a liar.

Izzy seems a bit lost. I'm not sure what that means. Maybe innocence?

As for my suspects:

Umm yeah...I'll get back to you on that one...

I don't completely understand what you're trying to say here. o.O Especially the "blasted by Mac" thing, did I miss something? I seem to remember Mac thinking me sane...

Anyway, I'm leaning more and more towards voting for Gwath, he's really starting to urk me. I hadn't gotten the chance before to go back and read all his posts (had to go pick up my brother unexpectidely), but I will do that right now.

X'posted with Brinn

What do you want me to do, post a list or something?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-20-2009, 03:07 PM

Would trust on ides of March with knife:

Fea
Brinn
Lari

Less:

Nienna
Macalaure
Durelin
Lommy
Mith
Rikae

Would handcuff inside burning house with hack saw in reaching distance. Would wait outside, watching.

Nogrod
Kath
Gwath
Nilp
wilwa
Izzy
Nerwen

For now.

Hey Durelin, what did Shasta mean by this?

I think she means it's clearly evidence.

.....haha, actually I just figured out how to do them yesterDay, quite fun indeed....

Okee, down to business. My 3 suspects as I listed above: Durelin, Lari and Gwath. I went back and skimmed through some stuff and I found the most against Gwath (see below). Dury is purely an eerie creepy bad feeling, I don't think I'll be voting her toDay, but I wouldn't be against the idea either, we'll see how it all goes.

Lari, well, she posts alot, like a lot....and I couldn't find much that was really interesting. She just makes me uneasy and I'm very tempted to vote for her toDay.

Now Gwath, I saw this and went "oh!", let me know if it's already been mentioned and I just didn't see it:

Sort of Suspicious

...

Legate's vote for Durelin looks pretty bad to me, but I don't think that a clever wolf would do anything quite that obvious.

...

++Legate

k, so he puts Legate on his "sort of" suspicious list, says he's too obvious to be a wolf but then votes for him anyway?? I mean I know I voted for him without any hard core suspicion, but I admitted that. Here he basically says that there are 2 other people he is more suspicious of, that Legate's unlikely to be a wolf, and then votes him anyways. o.O So yeah, I don't like that....so I stopped reading when I saw this, wanted to comment first, will now be going back and reading all of his posts once more. Unless someone else does something crazy I think I'll be voting for Gwath.

edit: wow, crossposted since Mac...not liking Gwath's attitude, what's he got against lists??

edit: Legate's a dude...oopsies

Lists are over-used - but they have their place. Mostly I was just being belligerent.

Regarding Legate:
First, Legate's is a HE, not a she.

Second, I don't have a good explanation for the inconsistency you noticed in the post where I voted for him. You're right; if I found him suspicious enough to vote for, he should have been in my "Suspicious" category. I'm not sure why he wasn't.
