WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[McCaber]

Oh Boro, what are we going to do with you? If someone wants tp dead fast, they have an excellent start on it. I for one would rather leave him be for now.

Being on Lommy and Agan's good list for once is weird, but it makes sense for thls game. I mean, I'm actually talking about people.

Nice.

I'll be gone for a few hours more, but I have the entire evening ahead of me. So I'll be back. And try and accomplish something while I'm gone, eh?

Bah I don't wear glasses nor do I drink beer (it's bad, eww).

Why? Would we hit closer if we had you listed as evil?

[Nienna]

I have a Good Book and a Bad Book. Come buy them from me! I take all forms of denomination and will even barter for goats.

And Mr. The Phantom if you keep up this name calling I may just to add you to my Bad Book. Tsk Tsk.

WRONG! You clearly haven't had good beer.

Beer is actually awesome.

Very wrong! Anyone who hates beer ought to be under automatic suspicion.

[the phantom]

I would say our best hope is to be so amusing that the Mod refuses to kill us. Here's my suggestion to grant us immortality. Tonight, we do this.

Seer- dream of me
Fairy Godmother- protect me
Hunter- hunt me
Hansel- cancel my vote
Gretel- double my vote
Fair Maiden- guess me
Princess- guess me
Frog- guess me
Prince- guess me
Baddies- kill me
Bridegroom- guess me

Seriously. That would be a record that would never be beaten. Come on now, first day and night can be rather random anyway. Might as well make history.

Oh boy, Boro. We're back to this. Seems so familiar.

Oh, goodie. I love gifts.

Like what? Kill someone? But do you really want that to happen while you're gone? I don't think you really meant that.

Oooo.... I know what we could do! False reveals!! Now, if I recall, the Lovers are never allowed to say "I'm the Frog" or anything like that, but it never says you can't say "I'm the Hunter" and "I'm the Princess" and "I'm the BBW" (if you're really not). So if Prince Charming were to reveal as every role in the village, but not Prince Charming, we'd know he is Prince Charming!

Oh, but wait.... if he causes us to realize his identity, could it be argued he did in fact reveal? Bah. I'm leaving.

In my first game as mod, Morm was Mr Popular (The Seer, Ranger and Mythomaniac all picked him). The wolves didn't because he was one of them.

No organisation .. you might have superior numbers but it would be a contrived imitation. Besides there are more important things than massaging your ego.

Wow....I think I should just kill you now and get it over with. Cause that's a terrible idea....

Hypothetical situation: If the wielder of the looking glass reveals himself and then he reveals one of the Lovers, it's not like they have to deny it. So basically, they can't reveal themselves, but they can go along with it if someone else reveals them. No, that does not mean the Lovers can reveal each other.

[Mithalwen]

*sigh* well I can't say my investigations have been particularly helpful. A lot of people seem odd but then that is to be expected in the circumstances.

Lommie and Boro make odd early posts.

Nerwen is probably the most amusing and for that I would keep her around a while though I know too well she has been evil and hysterically funny before...

Inziladun- I can understand the work limitations just concerned that so much effort has been put into finding him a nick name. Not his fault but surely we have greater priorities - I am beginning to worry that "finding a nickname" for Inszladun wil become synonymous with "rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic".

Kath seems ok - I got the deadline confused too so I am in sympathy. For now. Besides if she is innocent she is bound to die early...

Agan seems ok so far too.

Boro is worrying me. I don't like the first post. I don't like him saying I can judge him. So often I have got him right but maybe you have been gone too long or I know how good you can be when you are bad. Can't say I trust you yet.... especially with that vote for phantom...retractable so may be flying a kite.. but dangerous given that Lari had already voted for him.

And the phantom.... I wonder .. .he namechecks people who haven't yet posted in his early (first?) post> Qwath and Gaur ... significant? If so perhaps more likely to be evil than good... a gifted would only know about one person, wolfs often mention their colleagues to avoid accusations of NOT mentioning them when they become known... but TP is a more sophisticated thinker than I so what do I know.

Zilch but I don't have to vote til tomorrow thank goodness.

[Gwathagor]

Qwath..haha. Makes me think of quaff, which makes me think of beer.

[Gwathagor]

Surprise, surprise - Phantom wants to be the center of attention again. Or maybe it's that he IS the center of attention, whether we like it or not, and he's simply accepted that fact?

Crossed with Mith.

[Kath]

In my first game as mod, Morm was Mr Popular (The Seer, Ranger and Mythomaniac all picked him). The wolves didn't because he was one of them.

And it led to an evil win. Therefore don't follow phantom's plan unless you want that. That said we only all picked morm because we figured he was evil straight away ... well, except the Ranger clearly.

... is my way of saying I'm back! I'm actually going to have to vote toNight but not for about an hour or so. I'll be hanging around for a bit, having a read through and a think.

[Boromir88]

Before you meet the handsome prince you have to kiss a lot of frogs

Before you meet the handsome prince you have to kiss a lot of toads~Mith

If you are petitioning to be my recipient, it's working and a I love it. I am sorry if it disappoints you, however, to learn that I am not french and I just shaved yesterday in case this dreamy fairytale were to come true.

Oh boy, Boro. We're back to this. Seems so familiar.

haha.

[Mithalwen]

I would like to say that I do like beer... and it is nearly time for Ringwood's Boondoggle .... not that Old Thumper and Forty niner are not fine beers .... but

[Gwathagor]

Huh, so is Boro really trying to test us, or did he just pick up on that suggestion from Phantom and decide to run with it? If the former is the case, then I presume the test is to see who else votes for Phantom and how - whether it turns into a bandwagon. That seems risky to me. Surely, Boro, you could "test" the village without risking the life of one of our better players?

Crossed with everyone since Me.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'm shocked that this game has started already (and to be honest, a little irritated that I still manage to be an Ordinary Villager when there's only four in the entire game.)

Let me reread the first page and the rest of this page and I'll get back.

*fletches arrows madly to make up for lost time*

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Alright, I've read.

And Wilwa is right; I'm not a morning person.

I have one thing to quote and reply to:

Bah. You're always "rather quiet".

And one suggestion for the village; lynch Phantom or Boro today. If both of them are around for too long, this game will go from "confusing" to "mind-numbingly complicated".

[the phantom]

Shasta, Eomer, and Gwath are safe from me for two days. Maybe more. We'll see.

Boro, Gaurcrist, Inzil, Green, and Mith are safe for one day.

Nienna will never be safe- that pandering book wench! She's evil. Even if she isn't evil, she is, in fact, evil.

Fea..... I have nothing to say, except- without stories, how boring would life be?

I suggest we lynch no one.

Err Shasta, if you are an innocent, is that really the most helpful thing you could post? Not going to be any Captain Oates acts from you then are there?

And Boro, I don't want to kiss you, or indeed anyone at the moment ..unless perhaps they happen to be made of chocolate.... Any takers for including Goldilocks and the three (grizzly) bears...

[Kath]

Shall we have a list? I think we shall! I suspect most of the entries will simply say 'banter' but there's not a lot I can do about that at this stage.

Nerwen - do Agan and Lommy fight a lot in game? I hadn't noticed that before, or at least not remembered it.

Eomer - banter.

Lommy - clearly Noggie is playing over her shoulder with the loud/quiet debate comment. Thinks Lari should have refrained from voting, but would likely have been the first to jump on her and ask why she hadn't voted if Lari had gone for that option. From her list has some suspicion of Lari based on what she said before, otherwise she's no idea. Ah we have a retraction! Well that explains Boro.

Agan - I want to know how many other people are now tempted to go look up all Nerwen's past games and see if that thing about the word 'terrible' is true! Warns of potential revenge vote. Very good point about the fair maiden if her maths is right. Loud/quiet debate. Doesn't like Boro or phantom but will leave them alone - reason?

sally - pops up.

McCaber - surprisingly well thought out suspicions for a first post! Adds to the loud/quiet debate.

Mira - appears.

Shasta - arrives. Says McCaber is always quiet and we should kill phantom and/or Boro now to save ourselves a headache.

Gwath - says Boro should be able to test the village without resorting to killing.

Boro - whole lot of nothing. This list on the other hand not so well thought out. *sigh* And off to coded communication again. I knew there was a reason I hated Boro and phantom playing together. Votes phantom, I'm sure for some horrendously complicated reason. This early in the game I don't much care to try and pick it apart.

Inzil - intro post. Haha! I love his (boy yes?) description of phantom: a bit unbalanced and unpredictable? Just you wait til Fea begins her madness Inzil.

Nienna - banter.

Greenie - arrives ... leaves. Doesn't like the unreasoned votes against phantom.

Lari - makes her excuses and leaves, voting phantom first. I can see her point. It's like the people who vote Nog early on Day 1 only to see him saved in the last few seconds.

Mith - arrives. Wonders about the votes for phantom. Seems to have come to no real conclusions but clearly thinking things through well. Not keen on Boro or Lommy.

phantom - random except for the mention of Lari. Interesting thoughts, but there are also 4 ordos on the 'normal' Gifted team. Helpfully suggests we lynch no one. If there were no wolves fine, but as there are it isn't a great plan.

And I got nothing from Izzy, Gaurcrist or Fea. Though I foresee problems with me realising Fea has arrived because I thought she had already before I realised it was actually Greenie.

From all that the only person who jumped out at me was Lommy for her reaction to Lari's vote. I'm going to vote in a few minutes so it'll probably be for her.
