Pile O'Bones

I'm sorry I haven't been able to make good discussion on my thoughts of the matter. Have a couple problems one I'm a terribly slow reader and can't skim to save my life. Takes me almost an hour to get through one page.
Two most of the day I'm either sleeping or working, I'm usually in bed so lol I hope I don't fall asleep at the key board (Done it before.) Working hours I get up at 6:30 a.m. to try and look through the forum a little bit before 7:30 to get to work and get home around 6:00 at night. So sadly enough the DL goes right past me, and I can't get on while on my break because I do not have a laptop, and the school that I work for doesn't trust the assistant teachers enough with the computers to not look up porn. I honestly will try and give thoughts once I'm done reading. Apologies again, and also for the noobieness. My brother had to remind me this isn't DnD. |

sally
#79 in character says she doesn't know if she'll be voting. #82 explains further that she hopes she can vote but doesn't want us waiting on her for she may not be around. #153 returns and asks for a vote count #169 doesn't think wolf-Mnemo would vote on a coinflip. Hunch against Shasta. Roa seems too strange. Trusts Nog, wants to leave Mac for tomorrow. And in absolutely no bluntness about it, says I'm the horned and hoofed, trident-wielding overlord of the lake of fire...tell me how you really feel why don't ya? Votes Roa.#178 "ties=evil" #179 questions the legality of Nog's vote #182 *pulls out hair* Trademark sally to leave funny quibs and comments after posting up until the DL. I've got nothing on her at the moment, because the only way I can figure her out is if she is in danger of getting lynched. I have (in my opinion) a very nifty "tell" that she will never be able to pry from my cold-dead hands as it's the only thing so far I've been pick up what her role is... ![]() Greenie: #62 lays down the law about the pointlessness of the debate involving moi. Vague good feelings towards Lommy, Brinn, me, and surprisingly Nog. Suspicious of Roa, Inzil, Morsul and Nerwen. #63 responds to Morsul about voting records can be useful even if it doesn't have bandwaggoning wolves. #109 the Nog vs. Roa, concludes that both have left her with a headache. #118 A list Innocent: Eomer, Brinn, Pitch, Mac, Lommy, and me. Neither: Inzil, Lottie, Nienna, sally, Roa, Bes, Shasta, wilwa, and trom Worrying: Mnemo, Morsul and Nog. #122 disagrees with Eomer about list making #124 ponders voting either Nog or Mnemo #132 votes Mnemo as a "gut vote" over Nog #134 responds to Nog about his implying "if you didn't see this, than you're not an ordo" comments. Wow, so far, I've had to do the most bolding for Greenie's posts, she's definitely said something about everyone. I personally don't like lists, because I find that I wind up repeating myself, but agree with Greenie that there is merit to them and it's definitely better than banter/nothing. What I want to know Greenie is why did you vote for Mnemo one what you called mostly being a gut thing and not Nog? Shasta: #45 "here and reading" #46 2 cents between mine and Roa's reasonability. Disagrees with me because the wolves like sally can get of scott-free by being totally irrational. #47 remarks on DL and an in-character post #68 calls Morsul's comment about votes "wishy-washy fence-sitting" #117 "here and reading" #137 Nog vs. Roa, I've made a note to go "re-read this." #142 response to Nog over the "if A than B and if not A than you're not B" stuff #143 further clarification of #142 #152 Shasta/Eomer spinoff show #171 votes Inzil, with no reason at all nor am I aware of any previous suspicion stated about Inzil. Shasta is on my list of possible wolves. I've noted to go back and re-read 137, as that's been his largest contribution from Day 1. It looked like a lot of work and effort, but also had a feeling that he was enjoying the fight, with the whole awarding points for/against system. From pre-Day 1 he had a nice amount of posts but unlike Greenie from above, I didn't have to do much bolding, as he barely mentioned anyone, for either suspects or innocent. Today he has, but I've only scanned most of the posts from today, and will have to go through more thoroughly. But based on yesterday, he's a wolf-suspect. Nerwen #16 in-character responses to Inzil and Lottie. #34 doesn't want to get paranoid about lynching gifteds and questions me over what I'm trying to say #56 responds to me #67 tells Mac that at least one wolf would probably ignore me and says she can't see how she was "attacking" me. #72 defends Roa's counting slip #76 people don't pay close attention to things, especially if they're an ordo. #87 defends herself against Nog for "attacking" me. #89 says mountain building is popular #141 "back and reading" #181 votes on Mac for his "dodgy reasons" I'm flip-flopping on Nerwen so badly. I didn't take her questions towards me as attacks, but the way she tries to downplay it as purely innocent questioning about me being unclear and pointing out the obvious, makes me nervous. In #76 she defends Roa against Nog by saying people don't pay a lot of attention especially if they're ordos. It turns out Roa is an ordo, and could coincidental, this is a large group. However, today she's pointed out that we should read into all those who found merit in Nog's case against Roa, since we now know Roa is an ordo. The problem is she doesn't inquire any further, making it look like a red-herring "look here, go get distracted on this" plus, isn't Nerwen over-hyping the suspicion against Roa? I admit that I considered Nog's reasons for pointing out Roa's mistake, because I knew what he was talking about and wondered the same, as well as Nienna pointing out in her first post there were 4 wolves...so I can see how Nog thought the slip looked intentional. However, that by itself was a really flimsy argument. I also recall many others saying the same thing about it. And I think Nog drew considerable suspicion by pointing out what he did, it just looks like Nerwen is trying to over-hype the amount of suspicion Roa had based on Nog "mountain building" the slip. In my opinion, most people seemed against voting Roa which was why she only got 2 votes. And in #87: Quote:
I don't like this comment, by Nerwen though (that is to say I find it suspicious). The fact is, Roa wasn't the only one who got on me about it, she was just the loudest one. Inzil, Nerwen, Shasta, Morsul, Pitch, Eomer, and Bes all stated disagreement or suspected me because of it and Nerwen trying to downplay it worries me. It might not have been "everyone" but it was a rather large number of people. You also tried to downplay it by saying that it's possible a wolf would ignore it completely (would you call that obvious?) Then when people saw the point I was trying to make, and how my original response to Inzil got misrepresented people started jumping off one wagon and onto another...the "I don't like how everyone was jumping onto Boro wagon." You can't tell me there isn't some screwy wolf involvement going on in that pile of people? Ya, I realize that's a total flip-flop on Nerwen, but will wait for her response. Edit: I crossed with who knows how many, my mind is fried after that

A few quite... interesting... votes there.
A quick list to order my thoughts before I call it a day. Innocent Boro - quite certain of this by now Shasta - gives me a very innocent feel (a pity Boro suspects him) Tending innocent Inzil - don't really see any reason to suspect him anymore Eomer - is always a bit tricky to figure out, but no alarms so far Morsul - mostly fine, sometimes hard to follow Nerwen - has posted sensibly toDay Green - don't see any reason to suspect her Undecided Brinn - has escaped my radar Pitch - I'll try to figure him out tomorrow Nienna - another one not on my radar at the moment Trom - has trouble keeping up, which makes it difficult to figure him out Lottie - Very confusing Sally - can't get an idea yet Lommy - made herself comfortable beneath my radar Bes - don't know what to think of him yet Wilwa - not enough data Tending guilty Mnemo - see above Nogrod - see former comment Guilty - Not certain of anybody's guilt yet, but a nice number of likely innocents still gives me a good feeling of being on the right way. |

Mac:
#18 In Character #27 Making a summary, forming early suspicions about Inzil #57 Doesn't believe Boro is a wolf, forms new 'maybe' suspicions about Pitch and maybe Nerwen. #93 Responding to Morsul, Nerwen and Inzil. --------#59 Morsul makes a point that if I'd been payying attention I would have concurred with. ----------------Mac responds sensibly that the statements would be similar, since it was so early, little evidence to go on. ----------------Suggests here that he felt negatively about Inzil and positively about Pitch. Odd, that's not what I read. I'm hardly in a position to call someone on detail consistency, though. --------Mac goes on to say that Morsul's vote seems to come directly from "Disagreements about Nerwen and Boro" ----------------Morsul's reasoning in #69 IS kind of weak, but not so weak as to be dismissable I feel. ------------------------Mac's response is that if Boro continues his argument, he'd get lynched, so a wolf wouldn't risk it. The complete lack of votes on Day 1 for Boro seems to negate this dismissal of Morsul's reasoning. --------Mac responds to Nerwen, nothin here catches my attention immediately. --------Mac makes a good point about Inzil, but nothing truly damning. Again, early. --------Mac affirms that Roa can't be suspected on flimsy evidence. We all know how that turned out, whee. #112 Another list! Ceases to suspect Inzil, Nog is strange, Nerwen is forceful but not suspicious, Morsul looks good(?), Pitch is suspicious again. Boro, Roa and Mnemo are innocent. An appearance of consistency, other than Pitch really. Summary of people who haven't posted enough, people who haven't posted, and people who have good reasons to have not posted much. #116 Has been tuning out Nog-Roa-Boro. What? You just went back and forth about it with Morsul, and talked openly about it in your last three posts. Deflects attention onto Nog and posts #80 and #91. I'm not sure what to think about that. #139 Now only even tentatively feels like Inzil, Nog or Lommy might be worth voting for. So, again reversing on Pitch, Inzil this time as well. Not happy with his options, but none of his options are explained. #155 List of votes up to that point. Points out that on Day1 it's not unusual to jump back and forth about suspicions in response to Inzil. #159 Bandwagon, onoes! Does two count as a bandwagon? I don't think it does. Even with the speculation that Inzil would likely vote for him... It feels off to claim that this post is anything other than what it appears to be on the surface. Moving on! #161 Inzil plz. No one new has voted for him yet. Or had much time to do so. #167 Thanks to Nienna, who concurs with Mac. Which means I'll have to analyze her too now. Head hurts... #172 Brief reply to Inzil, defending earlier reasoning in a previous response. #175 Just a vote count #177 Hesitant vote for Inzil. #184 Lynched (almost) #190 List time again! And we're finally back to today. Vote count, in order of votes complete with tally. --------Suspects Pitch again, and it looks like also Mnemo, Me (understandable), Shasta and Nienna (what? Really? Ok then.), and maybe Nerwen. #197 fun with Boro, Nog, and a book. #217 Suspicious of Pitch and Mnemo for certain. Making me suspicious of Pitch, goodness. There's more here, but I'm trying to hurry up a bit now, it's 12:16 as I type and none of it stands out greatly. #248 Explains why Morsul's vote for him was reasonable. Reply to Inzil, comments on how Boro defends Mac better than Mac does, refering to #231 where Boro makes some good points about interpretation of information. Mac also blasts Nog's claim that he's been careful not to suspect too many people. I'd say that's half accurate, since it's more like he never suspects too many people in one sitting. And, to be fair, they have mostly been variations on Pitch, Inzil, and person X when appropriate. At the moment that's been upped to Inzil, Mnemo, Pitch, Sally, Lommy, Nerwen and myself. There's more here, but if I don't move on soon then I might as well just quote the whole post. #257 List/Analysis of Mnemo. If I'd looked this closely on Day 1, I probably would have been equally as likely to consider Pitch or Nog for a vote as Mac, and/or not voted. That said, they're all on my watch list now, but I can't say who I think I'm going to vote for today. I'm probably going to have to reread the entire thread tomorrow, if I can manage it. Probably crossed with several people. ... On the one hand this is all fun, but I think it might be a relief when it's all over, too. And we just got started. X_x |

Now, later there were people who just parrotted us, or even jumped straight to suspecting you– Bes and Morsul spring to mind. Even then, some of those you're listing just said, "meh, pointless topic". (Note: this is from memory, so don't shoot me if I've mixed up who did what.) Okay... so... I'm not liking these points you're making against me here, Boro. They seem kind of twisty. EDIT:X'd since Mnemo at #263.

Okay, I've looked at Loslote, and things look bad for her. Summarize one person's post and then vote? Really?
At the same time, how wolvish is that? At any rate she cannot defend herself for the rest of toDay so I'm willing to let her rest and then come down hard on her toMorrow. Which means that I'm going for the one person I have a concrete, rational reason to suspect at all: ++Pitchwife I will be available nearer the end of the day, but hopefully voting now will allow me to better focus on what's going on for the rest of the Day. Again, people, don't vote at the last minute please... YesterDay looked pretty insane. Finally, to Mac: If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

Okay, now I have looked at the people who followed Nog's case on Roa, and– surprise! surprise! One of them was Boro.
Quote:
Quote:
The fact that Boro was one of them and apparently tried to discourage me from checking actually makes me feel somewhat better about him– because I don't think Borowolf would do anything as silly as that. Eomer has been rather slipping around the edge of things and just chiming in with people... but there's not really enough to go on with him yet. A point in his favour is that he voted Mnemo, who is suddenly looking very sinister to me after her last post: Quote:

I wasn't going to do this...
But this is going to eat at my head if I don't say it. Reasons Mnemo does not trust players who remind her of her I am more interested in having fun in a Werewolf game than living or dying. I am more interested in having fun in a Werewolf game than winning or losing. I enjoy having fun through banter, compulsively stalking the thread, and sometimes posting for the sake of posting. I enjoy playing like this. However, because I still want to win, I would rather not have too many players with these priorities on my side. Therefore, I do not trust players like this in general. I know myself. It's easier to project myself and my weaknesses as a player onto other people. And the fact that the "having fun" bit comes so strongly so early in the game means that if people remind me of me during those first few posts, it's going to be a lasting first impression. So if I think, even on a subconscious level, that some of the players are going to have similar priorities to mine, I'm going to think that they might play like me and so wonder how sound their judgment is on individual players. Which is really strike 2, as strike 1 for giddy players is that there's another perfectly reasonable explanation: "I'm excited because I'm a WULF this time!" (This also plays itself out when people say things like, "I think X!wolf would be spending more time on the thread than innocent!X) Anyway, there you have it. I'm posting this because earlier some people (okay, two, but I was pretty high up on the lists yesterDay) found the conclusions I drew from these arguments (without presenting the arguments, which was somewhat dumb) suspicious. All fine and well. Just make sure you're suspecting me for the right reasons. I'm not going to say anything more on this topic. Tacking this on: Nerwen, Pitch was joking with people who were playing straight through the game, rationally, as if the confines of the game were still present. Nothing wrong with that, except maybe that it added to that dreadful zeal. But if later on he praises them for playing straight through the game, when at the time he himself was extending the banter... I'd just rather he'd put his money where his mouth was. Yes, it's small, but it's what I've got at the moment. And now I really must be getting to bed: I have a test tomorrow and a very heavy heart. ...Is it bad that I almost want to get lynched just so that people will know I'm innocent?

I don't know if I feel all that independent right now, more like all I'm feeling is my brain getting mashed by a sledgehammer.
![]() The dilemma is currently I feel that both you and Mac are looking innocent, and I've been getting more confident with that as this continues, but apparently both of you are highly suspicious of the other. For reasons that I'm not understanding. This makes me doubt my own judgement about one (or both of you) as if I'm missing something obviously suspicious. So far, I just feel like more than one wolf is laying low and enjoying, perhaps even antagonizing these situations where the talkers are going back and forth suspecting eachother. I've been trying to place myself in a wolf-Nog and Mac-wolf shoes and since you haven't been acting like my conception of how your wolf-selves would act, I feel relatively confident to say your innocent. Like with Mac, I know as a wolf before he has kept me a live when I've defended him before. But that time I was a lose canon and it would have been foolish for Macwolf to have killed me. I also know that I've lynched a Mac-wolf before and have been a major pain in his rear a few times. I know for a fact that Mith as a wolf tries to get rid of me almost as soon as she can...and right now I don't know if I've been that big of a pain to Mac yet. And right now, since Mac has seen that I'm not a "lose canon" if he was a wolf, I think he would have jumped at an early opportunity to get me under serious suspicion and not basically say I'm innocent.And with Nogrod, I've also been a severe pain to him, but I also know Nog likes keeping me around for a few days, no matter how big of a pain I am, and no matter if he's a wolf or not. However, as a wolf I've noticed when I do suspect him he is very aggressive and ready to duke it out. I mean when we get after eachother, if I happen to win, I feel like I'm still leaving bloody and beaten up. ![]() Still the fact that you two are suspecting eachother, and that I happen to lean towards trusting both of you at the moment, it's making me paranoid that my conceptions about both of you are horribly off. Ahh, I think I'll just deal with the paranoia for the time being, leave it at that, and focus on other things that aren't so "conspiracy theory" sounding. Quote:
Call it innocent probing, since I went through a big turn, I wanted to see your response and then decide whether I should seriously go all out suspect Nerwen or put you back into "innocent feeling." I can give my reasons and a proper response when I wake up tomorrow, but right now my mind is primarily on bed, though you are back into "leaning innocent." Edit: crossed with Shasta and Mnemo. Edit: Edit: and Nerwen too, didn't realize she made a recent post

Hello! First off, I have loads of stuff to do today, but I'll be at home so I'll be able to check in every now and then. Then, off to comment stuff that's been said toDay.
Quote:
Quote:
No, I picked her instead of you because you were more confusing than suspicious. Or rather, I couldn't figure you out at all because your behaviour made no sense to me regardless of whether I assumed you were a wolf or not. Therefore, I went after Mnemo, who I felt suspicious about because she had been kind of calculatedly nice and gave me evil vibes. I wanted time to figure you out.Quote:
Quote:
I'd like to make a list but won't have time for it right now. I'll expect to do one still toDay. Just a quick update: I'm torn about Pitch, somewhat confused by Shasta, very confused by Lottie, and lean towards trusting both Nerwen and Boro (who seem to be at each other's throats ).

So Roa dropped? What a shame; I was hoping to see more of the Nog & Roa show.
But really, before I knew she dropped, I was starting to think it perhaps more likely that those two really were just two innocents at each other's throats. Nogrod can be a bold wolf, so I won't eliminate the possibility, but still it is rather risky to be going at it with an innocent with such force as early as Day One. If they are both innocent, the Roa vs. Nogrod was a great distraction for the wolves. With the events of yesterDay, our baddies could easily set him up for the next lynch target I think, which is why I would be rather uncomfortable to vote for him toDay.Quote:
I don't exactly understand Loslote's vote for Lommy. She summarises a post of her's, yet fails to provide any of her own commentary.
