TIG LXIX: Meeting at the House of Usher

[Nogrod]

To supply you with my "I'm uneasy with..." list as well.

I'm uneasy with Roa who behaves too civilly towards me. Her explanation on her "Borolysis" made sense but I'd presume she would be able to come up with one if forced to do it...

I'm uneasy with Spm as I see him grasping at straws at times and being so very reasonable at others (and I mean it - he can be very reasonable & reasoned indeed). Also his change of style is remarkable: from the early game (and I don't mean only the "banter phase") confusion-monger and wannabe-contactor he has turned back into a decent and reasonable player; after he was suspected of being the cobbler by enough many players and as the bear died. Although I'm not sure he is a wolf, but a cobbler maybe? (I have still not forgotten that possible Greenie - Spm link possibility which they have nicely turned into a chatter toDay)

I'm uneasy with Pitchie because he seems soo reasonable and uncontroversial. You have just enough initiative that no one can say you just follow others but you are also very careful not to arouse any suspicion.

I'm uneasy with Brinn and wilwa, both of whom I know can be real killers when needed but have been quite quiet so far.


Well, a familiar position: I distrust you all. If I'd have to name one innocentish person it would be Nerwen.

Nice to see you involved, Fea.

I think the lovers haven't been discussed for an obvious reason: we don't have to kill them to win, and they really pose very little threat to us. If one of them dies, the other gets a free kill, but that's a big if. Their best bet is to play on the villages side.

So are you saying that it really doesn't matter what Boromir thought, since he was probably just a safe kill, if not killed for being the bear?

Then who do you think is suspicious?

And maybe we don't have a problem with your style, dear, but I for one resent doing all the work while you sit back and benefit from it.

Clearly you aren't a proponent of socialism.

Before my last post becomes a problem (if in fact it does), I'd like to apologize for any offense it might cause. It's intended as a joke, relating to the way Roa phrased her last comment, not as a slight on anybody's political leanings.

That being said, expecting people not to be opportunists in terms of letting a few people do all the talking and/or analysis is silly. More than half the players sit back and let other people do the hard work.

Looking soo much better Fea - well not as poetical, but anyway.

Although I must say it's not too particular...

And your view of socialism is just weird.

I hoped I wouldn't have to come back to this anymore but it seems I have to as you brought it up once again and I'm going to sleep soon.

I think I said it yesterDay already that I had read the thread up to a point (5PM my time or something) and three people had roused my attention: Greenie, Spm and Roa - that far. Then coming home I looked at their posting with the eye of "if they were baddies how would you explain these posts"? And as you all know I ended up with the decision none was a case good enough to vote for them on D1.

If everyone did that on Day1 (really tried to look for the baddies laying points on them) the Day1's would be real opportunities to lynch a wolf instead of easy hunker-down bandwagons that seem to hit gifteds and innocents more often than the wolves (because the wolves know who to vote). It's pretty frustrating to be the only one (well, one of the few) to actually try something on D1 and get load of X from that.

Or maybe people have different standards on what makes a "big case" or a "well-reasoned suspicion"? To me those I made yesterDay were not ones of that category, but something worth mentioning as I couldn't be sure I'm alive toDay to voice those suspicions - however inconclusive they are as they are only D1 suspicions.


Okay. Needs to check the Mead Hall and process my vote in my head meanwhile...

Actually, I'm totally into it. But I shouldn't have mentioned it, since there's the risk that a comment that could be made with a wink and a cheeky grin at a cocktail party won't carry the same connotations that a blithe written remark can.

Don't you worry. The comes near enough...

So, Fea, you've finally pastiched your way through the poems and tales to Heureka. I'm duly impressed. Nice analysis of the situation. Now what about applying it?

I think we all have an idea who falls under 2). What about 1)? Who do you think looks like they're working together?

Nog, in answer to your #231:
I went back through your posts in order to find out for myself what Greenie was actually talking about and whether she had a point or not. Conclusion: I can see where she was coming from, but her voting you because you exaggerated what she thought weak reasons for suspicion (but as you say, and as I said, it was Day 1, hence the '?' at the end of my post) seems somewhat exaggerated as well.
Now what do I think of the two of you? I don't quite share your strong suspicion of Greenie, but I still remember she fooled me to the end two games ago, so I'm wary. And I don't find you that suspicious either, but I haven't yet played with you when you were a wolf, so I'm wary I might overlook the signs.
Darn, being too uncontroversial again...
