The close reader may have noted that Lhuna, while probably inwardly desiring to creep into someone's house and feast on her young, never explicitly stated this in the game thread. I know Lhuna, and she is a bit like that.

But anyway, all I was doing was stating that Wilwa's attempt to discredit me wasn't exactly fair. My post about her is equivalent to her post about me.

And I don't know what Kent's talking about. Traps? That sounds a bit complex.

Granted.



And I never know what Kent's talking about. Join the club.

Can it be true? Could I have found myself in the middle of a Sally-Werewolf-Spam-A-Thon?!?!!?

I've seen them before, sure, but... usually I just vote for you instead.

Btw. although we all know it I think this deserves reciting once again: we have four (4!) wolves around. Just remember that when it looks like there is a gradual consensus building on anyone. The baddies really can play that card now - and their voting power is considerable... and growing.

Another quick one. Yes Kent, to my experience the wolves tend to pick up safe kills quite often when they have no clue on the seer - who surely is their first and always the most important target.

The wolves will probably move for even a slight suspicion of someone being the seer but otherwise there are diferent variations: no-trace-kill is a safe bet everytime, confusing kills are super if there is a situation for it, framing kills are nice but seem not to work unless in certain situations, sporty-kills pick up the non-posters and are a sub-group of safe kills while killing the loudmouths is totally different tactics having an eye to gaining the control of ideas in a quiet village, some times they need to be extra careful with the ranger and/or the hunter but normally not on the first Nights etc...

Quite a range of possibilities then. But safe-kills are quite common indeed.

Well, looking for responses is fair enough, though I'm not sure I would use the term 'trap'.

Point taken about innocents biting. Any sort of reaction and counter-reaction, though, could prove useful even a few days down the line. Better talk than silence. Soon as we catch a Wraith we trawl through his/her posts to judge the behaviour...

But really. I don't think I have ever done this but now I feel I have to at last.

I am not an aggressive, angry and humourless gaffer who plays with taste of blood in his mouth. Sorry. Wrong image.
I know you quite well and I was one of the people who started calling you agressive. This had nothing to do with being humourless or being covered in childrens blood. I my self often use hyberbole sarcasm. . .
You wording just seemed very much more forceful than normally.

1420!

Okay, let's get back into the bussiness of fighting and accusing each other for lycantrophy. I can't stand these nice and understanding words from you guys! (a charachteristic Finnish personality-flaw)

But thanks anyway. You must all be ringwraiths.

Okay, I hate having to vote this early, especially when there's so many people who have posted little or not at all.

Nogrod seems okay toDay (although Kath's death could point to him). Legate ditto, and the continued existence of Lhuna points away from him (not that that's conclusive). .

I was thinking of Wilwarin before, both because of her vote yesterDay and because her helpful-list thing toDay reminds me of Brinnwolf...but Eomer is going after her (or is he?) and I don't know what to make of him at all.

Brinniel was another suspicious voter, but again hasn't posted more than once toDay, Shasta yet another, but hasn't posted at all... so they're slipping off my radar. And everyone else is completely off it. (As we all know, at least one of them is probably evil..)

At the moment I'm thinking Rune or Sally.

EDIT: X'd since Nogrod.

True and that is why I am in limbo about you. I have not successfully spotted a baddie yet, in fact you could say I have defended more wolves than suspected so far (Nogrod could tell you more about that ). Generally talk is good, and I think some people as baddies like to wave the clues right in front of our face, but some people as baddies like to remain as quiet as possible. So, who do we go for? Getting that first one always seems to be a 300lb gorilla on your back.

Maybe I should have added a smiley to show the jest in referencing wilwarin's post from Day 1 saying she did not want to vote for the few posters, because she did not want to be hypocritical. Because it was honestly not meant to really call her a hypocrit but to point out the irony between Day 1 and Day 2.

Also, I will honestly say my responses about it are not something I am holding for a later day against her. They are in no way meant to be taken seriously, nor be used for serious suspicions (unlike smiley placement - that is very suspicious! )

I was confused by wilwarin's voting reasons yesterday, but you reminded me that cofusing logic, does not make wraith behaviour. And wilwarin's response to me today looks more like that innocent willingness that Rune pointed out about her Day 1 posts.

My, my . . . a most interesting colloquy indeed!

If anyone here reads history they will notice a certain cycle to things. You know, dark lords rising, and then suddenly falling due to the action of one man, thought to be insignificant at that time. There are also stories of villages losing their silent ones on the first DAY of their foundation, because it is far easier to hide among vocal villagers. Moreover it is more likely that the prophets of said villages would be among the quiet ones, since they would fear drawing the village's attention to themselves too soon. (A trend that future prophets would be wise to remember. ) Besides, setting up a DAY 2 frame-up is too ponderous, and who would be the easiest to frame-up early on in the game? The boisterous ones, correct?

Therefore, unless this trend changes, I do not think DAY 1 kills have deception in mind.

To acknowledge the metagame is to change it.

I have no hidden agenda, Adam. *opens fan, hides lower part of the face*

In any case, I shall be back with a more, ah, timely post, about my specific suspicions, and other less philosophical thoughts. But wait, here's one I've noticed: Kent seems to be currying favour from the sorceror Tivo? But what for, I imagine? Does he require aid for a magical quest, perchance?
