So what you need to find, going off this evidence, for my perfect woman would be along the lines of: sweet, quiet, bookworm (I'd even go so far and say Belle is a brunette, but that might be getting unconscionably Freudian, as I inherit my brown hair from my mother...).

It's hardly possible that we've got any sweet girls of quieter disposition and a propensity to books at this Downer gathering, right? Clearly, Form shall remain the celibate man he is, with little difficulty.
I like reading, and I'm a brunette. And celibate....

The closest thing to an autovote. ('cos Mistress Rikae's not here.)
But....*sniff*....don't you love me anymore?

This must be what going mad feels like.

Nog looks quite innocentish. Or rather, genuinely helpful. It's impossible to say anything concrete yet, though.

Form talked about Day -1 behaviour. I assume you're not going to analyze that?

Firefoot I'm fine with bonus votes being saved for later. But that means everyone, or at least most of us, should do it. I don't want a situation to occur where there are a few people with almost all and some with almost no votes left.


No - we get a baddie (ie wolf or cobbler) with 23.5% certainty. And actually it's even more likely since their behaviour can give them away.
I can't say I really like your suggestion. The result of today's lynch is a part of the information we will have tomorrow, and it reveals more if we don't take the easy route and kill a non-show. Or well it's also that you suggested it so early and in that way.

Hmm almost 24 hours have passed and four people haven't spoken yet. Do you Elmira people have any idea about Alonariel?

Some things about the rules.

Grķma doesn't have a way to communicate with the baddies in private, but his ability to make gifteds fall ill makes him more dangerous than a normal cobbler. That's why I think it's as important to find him as the wolves. Also, the seer can't find him and should keep in mind that one of her known innocents might in fact be the cobbler.

I wonder why Elrond & others decided to send Pippin here. He doesn't seem to be aiding us.
Because they like to screw with our heads dear.

In other news, this is a whole lot of nothing, not unhelpful so much as trying to help and failing because there's not a lot to do. I agree about the extra votes though, that if some of us use them all up and some are more stingy with them we could end up in a lot of trouble. I know it seems a bit weird, but I may (notice, may) keep a close eye on those who deliberately try to save their votes for the end of the game. Also interesting commentary on Grima, but talking about Grima right now is basically as effective as trying to figure out who Pippin is at this point.

Is there still someone who didn't realise I was suggesting Kuru was giving cobbler hints? I would have expected everyone to at least notice that post title. That question was meant in an ironical way. Because it seemed nobody understood what I was talking about.

I have a feeling everyone is misinterpreting me on purpose!

Nog I'm starting to understand why you tried to be quieter on day ones.

Sniff.

edit: xed with Form & love him again.
Awwww, Agan. *hugs* I understand where you're coming from, but just because you're misunderstood doesn't mean that you're not evil. Just sayin'.

And who doesn't love Formie?

When a wolf gets inconsistent, the inconsistency tends to result more from the wolf attempting to cover up a slip--and even if Agan has been inconsistent (which is not my impression*), she has not given the appearance, to me, of attempting to cover up. More along the lines of exasperation explanation--I'll grant, of course, that an experienced player can make the two look the same.


*Of course, given my thesis that wolves are more consistent than innocents in their views, this, of course, ought to incline me MORE toward thinking that Agan is a wolf.
True that wolves make an effort to be more consistent, but they don't necessarily succeed, as you point out, and some wolves (like me, when I am a wolf) act even more off the wall than they do when they're ordos, because they know that if they try to control everything they say it is more likely to slip than if they just go with the flow and try to subtly direct the village.

Catching up on the thread. Good thing you guys a) wrote only two pages while I was asleep and b) dropped the RPG writing.
Watch your language, young man. In other news, I was rather excited by the lack of posts toDay, and yet kind of surprised. Maybe everyone is as busy/exhausted as I am. *shrugs* It only makes sense after all we've been through.


Deadline's at my midnight, right?

Okay. This is so sad.

I still dislike Agan's smilies and the explanation for them wasn't too good. But I have no intention to vote one of the only decent posters of toDay.

With Form I have a kind of similar situation. I do disagree with many things he says and I don't like all the manouvers he makes, but he posts both qualitatively & quantitatively enough for me to not wish to vote for him.

Kent is probably the only one I feel quite good right now - and he has also posted.

I see why people suspect Kuru and he might be my choice as well - although I'm afraid it will only be a cobbler we get that way. But that's not bad for Day1, or any Day.

Of the rest I might vote for anyone for just not playing this game. Out from pure annoyance and frustration.

Nienna especially. That was soo bad...

I'll take a short look back and then vote, presumably for one of the slackers.

Nienna's vote for me looks quite bad indeed. It can be shown statistically that I tend to receive well more of the "random votes" from the baddies on Day1 than would be my fair share. And Nienna's looks like one of that kind.

Her suspicion first was this:
Quote:

Then, as Form pointed out, after Form stated his vote might possibly go my way she comes up with:
Quote:

Especially that "I reserve the right to be completely and utterly wrong" strikes me very bad indeed.

Also she has posted what, three times, with basically nothing to say.

I hate it how many others will just fly through this day under any possible radar. That's unfair but can't be helped now I'm afraid.

So I'll do this:

++ Nienna (1)

then:

-- Nienna (0)

and

++ Kuru (0)

I do wonder alongside Form if Kuru would be such a reckelss cobbler, but then again it looks like it very much that he is. How else one could explain that "If you can't beat them, join them" -stuff.


So a vote for Nienna and a vote for Kuru.


I'm off to work. Make good decisions.

Yes, Noggie dear. I'll eat my vegetables, take out the trash, and go to bed on time. I've learned a lot from your example.


I think I'll look over Nienna's posts real quick and see what the fuss is about. It's possible I forgot to actually....you know....read her post when I went through the thread. I'm such a silly hobbit.

You're right - Nienna does look rather bad in light of that sequence of posts, like she's fishing for a bandwagon almost. She might just be an innocent who didn't have any better idea, but this seems a far more substantial case than any others that have been made toDay. I think I'll be voting Nienna.

Ok, I'm just going to vote now. I'm tired and have a few things to do before bed.

I decided that yeah, Nienna does have some furry potential. And I know she's blinking brilliant as a wolf, so I'd hate to give her a free pass for too long and then wind up dead.


++Nienna


Random question. If I don't attach any extra votes, I can just do ++name, right? Or should I put ++name(0) just to be safe?

Yeesh, I was going to say Kuru seems like the easy lynch toDay, though now it's looking like Nienna.

I really don't want to see Kuru go so early, as he is not one who comes here often and I'd actually like to experience playing with him (and only one Day is hardly playing).

I'm tempted to vote Nienna as I do agree some of her early comments do sound suspicious. Though I feel slightly hesitant with this sudden bandwagon against her. But I'd rather see her go than Kuru.

As for Agan, she doesn't strike me as innocent or evil at the moment so I really have no strong desire to see her lynched.

Votes:

Sally- 1
Agan- 2
Noggie- 1
Kuru- 5
Nilp- 1
Nienna- 4

Hmm...am I the deciding vote of the Day? Seems that way as it doesn't look like any other non-voters will show..

Part of me really doesn't want to bandwagon since I'm a bit wary of the others who are part of it, but I think I will anyway since I'd like to give Kuru the opportunity to play at least one more Day. And although I am bandwaggoning, at least I'm doing it against someone I somewhat suspect.

++Nienna (0)

I'm going to vote for Nienna based on what I previously said. Though these seeming hoppers here, make it an almost uncomfortable vote.

++Nienna (0)

Though, I'm almost tempted to vote for Nog. What are you getting at, with voting for two different people on this Day? There is no double execution. Experimenting perhaps?


X'd since Gwath's 264. Oh?
