WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[Inziladun]

Good morning, all!
First off, I'm glad to be a part of this! I hope to last a least a few days before I'm murdered by the Agents of Evil or a fear maddened mob.
Also, I doubt I'll be able to do much in depth post analysis from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM EST, as those are work hours, and the boss would likely be appreciative if I devoted some of that time to actual work, but I'll do the best I can.
I'll try and pop back in here in a bit, and I intend to give this all my attention during the lunch break.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Morning all. Must say, while it's a shame and all, this horrible murder, I can sure use the extra business. No point digging graves with nobody to fill them, eh? Hehe... am I right? Well, maybe that's inappropriate, I suppose. Hmm... yes.

Maybe we should be looking to attract immigrants, seeing how there's going to be regular and frequent deaths now. Not that we'll be too happy with immigrants, being in the Grimm Brothers tales and all, but who knows - they might approve of their being cannon-fodder...

[Kath]

So deadline is 2pm my time? Could cause some last minute voting on my part most Days as I only have about half an hour out of school before that!

Hmm now so far Lommy is clearly evil as she's pretending not to start the loud/quiet debate whilst actually trying to start it up. Otherwise there's not a lot to say.

[Boromir88]

In an attempt to look colorful in a strictly black and green environment, here is a list...

Nerwen - why are the robber bridegroom's and Rumplestiltskin odds better than the other baddies?
Eomer - is the big bad wolf - evidence 1.0 "cannon fodder"
Lommy - I don't like minstrels, but as long as you are not Robin's minstrels I promise I won't eat you if winter unexpectantly comes upon us
Aganzir - has known to dress up as uncivilized cavalry officers, she has to be the robber bridegroom
Sally - occupation fits Cinderella, she has to be cinderella
McCaber - I don't buy the "humble" bit, that has to be a disguise
Izzy - baking poison into our food huh old witch?
Mira - You know I have with me varoius hallucinogenics and other products that may aid your business? I even carry an elixir that is 200 times more powerful than morphine, talk about powerful!
Gaurcrist - probably innocent
Shasta - you really like bows huh? And how effective are bows against Grimm baddies?
Gwath - keep the drunk vagrant for entertainment
Kath - depends upon the rating, if it's 5-star she looks good
Inziladun - has as difficult of a name as Rumplestiltskin...hmm that is not going to work. Is there a nickname we can give you?
Fea - I love stories, which means I will love Fea telling us stories.
Nienna - hmm a keeper of books, do you happen to have the book of secrets?
Greenie - such an innocent occupation compared to the rest
Lari - Can you tell me my fate, miss? Will I find my piece?
Mith - Do you need a leech rancher my lady Mith?
the phantom - ugly stepsister anyone? That would be a cruel joke.

Hopefully I crossed with people while creating this ridiculous thing...

Edit: nope no crossing

Whatever sounds good to you, Good Sir. You are the Master Shrubberer, after all.

[Aganzir]

his motto being “always be prepared”

Ooh Eomer I knew we were destined to cooperate ever since I saw your occupation, and now this! *strokes her lions gently*

Anyway hello bunnies. Last night I had a dream I missed the whole game because I got stranded on a desert island for two months and when I was finally rescued, my main worry was that I had been modfired. It's funny how WW creeps into my dreams even before the game has started.

Nerwen is a baddie because she started her first post with the word terrible and she always does that as a wolf!

No they don't. At least on the first few days. My guess is that they will try to keep a nice distance so no one notices they're actually fell- I mean because they don't enjoy their excessive quarrelling very much. At least Aganzir doesn't.
Tee-hee now I'll get rich!

Shh you're not supposed to say that aloud!

If I don't have any good suspects by the end of the day, I will vote for either Greenie, Shasta or Lari for killing me on night 1 the last time I played. I'm probably not voting for Gaurie or Inzy today because this is their first game.

Hmm as for the roles...

I don't like Hansel & Gretel because they make the game too complicated for my poor little brain. I have also always hated that fairytale.

If the Fair Maiden uses all of her five guesses on day 3, the odds that she gets it right are the best. If there are no ranger saves, modfire, lover deaths or whatever, there should be 16 people alive then which means she has almost a 1/3 chance of getting Rumplie.

Prince Charming should probably be careful when looking for his princess in case also the Old Witch tries to drop Cinderella-hints in order to get him killed.

*off to eat the lovely blueberry ice cream she just made*

Dunno why the combination of stroking lions and calling us bunnies makes me feel like... a bunny threatened by a lion?

In any case I'm here now and will probably be more or less around for some hours at least. I don't, surprisingly, have much to say right now, but if someone else is around I'd be in for a nice little (green) chat.


EDIT: Oooh how cool, this was my 444th post. I like even numbers.

[the phantom]

It's easy to figure out who is bad. Who hasn't been reading lately? Only evil people don't like reading.

Gwath is always hanging about my shop, or Nienna's, curse her! You may argue that he has nothing better to do seeing as he is a drunk without a job. But he could be spending his time robbing or talking, but he chooses to read now and again. And that puts him in my good book.

Not that I have an actual "good book". They're all good. Not all books, I don't mean... I mean all my books are good. I don't keep the bad ones. You have to bury the bad ones and cover them with a layer of ashes from a good book. It's sad. Whenever I find a bad book a good one has to die in order to cancel it out. Why don't people just stop writing bad books?!

Gaurcrist reads sometimes. Likes some of my weapons books very much, and has never tried to steal them from me, unlike some of you! You think offering me filthy round pieces of metal is a fair trade? Hmph! Keep your gold. I have books on how to find gold, make gold, and shape gold. Much better.

And really, what is wrong with Lari? She votes for me to die, and her reason is- she figures I won't die! I'm not sure where to begin breaking down that bit of nonsense.

But I think the baddies will reveal themselves. The witch's cackle will give her away, the big bad wolf will have terrible dining manners, and Rumplesnit... Rumbleskil... um, Rummy no doubt disguised himself as a very tall villager since this is his one chance to feel tall. So let's eat and lynch the one who gets the messiest, then stand up from the table and lynch the tallest, and then tell a joke and lynch the cackler.

Easy, easy, easy.

Speculates on the importance of some of the roles.

#28
Plays with nicknames and banters.

#47
Likes McC, Laddie, Mith, and Lommy.
Dislikes Boro and phantom.
Speculates about the importance of the Lovers.

#80
Eeew beer.
Finds Lommy and Boro's first posts odd, but dismisses it as Day 1.
Disapproves of Shasta's ordo reveal on grounds that it makes it easier for BBW to find LRC.

#87
Responds to wilwa's comment about LRC

#99
Informs Kath and she and Lommy fight a lot.
Responds to Kath's question of why she is leaving Boro and phantom alone despite not liking them.

#131
Gets annoyed that people want to lynch Boro.
Questions if Gwath and Fea's suspcions about Boro trying to set Mira up are serious.
Says would rather kill phantom than Boro but won't vote for either today.
Doesn't know who to vote for yet.

#148
Responds to a lot of things Lommy said.
Doesn't like the Boro votes because they lack real reasoning.
Finds Lommy's response to Boro setting Mira up suspicious and cobbler-esque.
Is not "overly fond" of Greenie as she is "aggressive and grasping at straws at the same time" but also admits that tends to be suspicious because of previous games.

#162
Responds to a lot of things Boro said.

Personally I tend to be a very honest wolf - just because people don't think a wolf would do this or that. And therefore I have a hard time thinking a wolf could not be brutally honest.

Speculates on Hansel and Gretel.

#171
Responds to Lommy about Mith's suspicion of Shasta.
Says would vote for Shasta, but prefers Greenie.

#187
Votes Shasta over Boro or Nienna because of LRC factor.

#189
Vote count

#244
Speculates at to why Lommy was killed. Didn't see her as a threat.
Thinks the wolves would want to dispose of as many gifteds as possible early on because there are so many of them.

#247

How come so many people seem to be under the impression the wolves must attack Reddie in order to convert her? Correct a poor non-native speaker if she's wrong but to me that "along with the baddies kill choice" looks pretty much like they send two names every night.

A wolf would certainly know the specifics of exactly what must be done to turn LRC.

#263
Is confused by Mith.

#314
Makes massive list.
Guilty: Gwath, Izzy, Greenie, Lari, sally, Fea, Mira

Gwath and Izzy are both gifted so she could have been hiding her real suspicions in with a mate or two or hers.

Innocent: Inziladun, Eomer, Kath
Neither: Mith, Cab, Gaurcrist, Nerwen, Shasta, Boro, phantom

#331
Vote count

#338
Doesn't think Boro and Mith are honest, but doesn't find them suspicious.

#340
Votes Izzy. Doesn't want Boro or Mith to die but doesn't offer reason why

#383
Doesn't like Lari's vote.
Speculates about Lovers.

At this point I must take a break. My brain has stopped processing correctly. More to come later.

But of course my dear Boro... though I must warn you that I don't promise that they are the secrets you seek.

Inziladun: I vote Zil.

[Inziladun]

Lunchtime is here and I have.......no real insights. Not knowing the personalities just yet, and with a lack of any concrete evidence, it's a bit difficult to judge the difference between possibly suspicious behaviour and what may be just people being themselves. It's so much harder when you only have pieces of the puzzle, but therein lies the challenge. That said....

Lommy told us:

And I'm very aware that this post may start the quiet-loud debate I do not wish to start, but as an announciatory matter I will say that if I don't find anyone very suspicious, I will vote for someone who I feel is not contributing to the common cause.

Why immediately throw to the wolves (so to speak) anyone who may not be able post often right away? Seems rather unnecessary.

Aganzir- seems to have a reputation, doesn't like the Hansel and Gretel story. I do like "Rumplie" as a nick for the freakish dwarf-creature.

Nienna- professes to have secrets! Interesting.

the phantom- a bit unbalanced and unpredictable?

See? So many variables!

Whatever the consensus is. I'm flexible.

[McCaber]

Shop's open! All prices are as marked, all sales are final.

Now that that's out of the way, it's time for the traditional first wave of suspicion:
Lommy: Overly eager to get the first post. Wolf.
Boro: Also eager to get the first post; took too much time to do so. Either confused wolf or confused innocent.
Lariren Shadow: Hurried vote on tp. Either a confident innocent or a wolf grasping for straws. Unless they're both wolves and they're throwing us off.
Nerwen: Trying to profit off the village's misfortune. It's more a cobbler-esque move than a wolf. Plus she offers terrible odds.

That's all I've got for right now. Unless ... throwing out heavy suspicions is suspicious in itself, isn't it. Shoot. Just disregard this, then?
