Mainly 'cause I felt bad for not showing up for DL or the latter half of yesterDay.

Morsul's vote came with him being gone for a majority of Day 1, whereas, when I talked with Lari throughout Day 1, even though she had work, she gave me the impression she'd sifted through the posts and based her vote on that. It was actually Izzy's comment about the DL that sparked her spontaneous vote. And at the time, Glirdan seemed more innocent than Shasta - even though it was Day 1.

Confused here. That who thought who was a logical wolf choice? All I did was use meta game to rule out a few possible wolves, and even that was a bit of a joke.

Like I said, great frame, which makes me think experienced wolves might be playing here.

I think Izzy asked about this, too. Basically I saw Inzil's post saying that Sally was the Night target, went with it at the beginning of the Day and then later started to question it while I was talking with Lari about it. My debate with Lottie went well into the early morning for me and I don't think I was thinking quite clearly at the time.

Was reading while my lunch cooked. Few comments.

Wilwa, I'd asked about the Shasta/Sally thing earlier on Day two, and had gotten no response about it. A specific quote # will have to wait until I come back.

While I was reading Sally's rundown of Nog, sorry - but I couldn't help but laugh a little. It just seems so fabricated, and.. over the top flimsy to me. Hindsight tends to be 20/20... but condemning someone with it, is just... o.O



Okay, back in a bit after lunch.

X'd with Sally.

Heh. I was just going to ask who was around, and then Izzy shows up.



Well you know how I like to get reactions. Nog's response to my analysis made me quite happy so it was definitely worth giving up a bit of sleep.


Anyone else around, by the way?

That is interesting indeed!

So you kept talking with Lari a lot and she got you to suspect Sally's reveal?

But wait... you're not PM-pals! I'm not sure what to say. I mean this game should be played online in front of everyone, not privately somewhere outside the range of other ears.

Anyway it is interesting as well that wilwa wants to push after you for that if Lari had helped you to distrust Sally's reveal in a situation where it was more or less obvious...

And Nog, I think she means that when she was on the thread with Lari she got confused and said the wrong things because she was tired. Am I right?


EDIT: x'd with Wilwa

Mostly, yeah. That, and Lari and I both didn't catch in the narration that it was Sally's character used.

Lari and I were having a late night chat at her house and I was on the computer at the time, if really early morning memory serves. We're good friends in RL - she lives ten minutes from me.

Basically we were reading over how Lottie was going along with Sally's reveal and trusting it, and how Inzil was too, and then Lari (who also missed the clue in the narration until Shasta pointed it out to the both of us) wondered, "how do they know she was the target?" Because, ever since she started playing, she said that narrations never gave away who the attempted Night kills were.

I think it was mostly fueled by tensions with Lottie at the time, as I was having a debate with Lottie and Lari was already somewhat suspicious of Lottie.

Well, I might have managed to lost my main point from my last post...

So if Lari made you suspect Sally's reveal alona, are you sure she was being straight with you, or was she using you to her purposes?

Don't worry too much, I lose my train of thought all the time.

Since I was talking with her in person, I don't think so since I can read her pretty well - unless the move was pre-planned. I doubt that, though. Most of our conversation was about the restart.

After all this hassle I'm even more confused...

I need to be offline for a moment but will be back pretty soon to vote and then to bed.

It's just that Alona there is kinda a rule that people shouldn't communicate outside of a WW game, like that's why people can't PM and are suggested to not IM or chat or anything like that. I mean I know it's different in RL (Glirdan and I have been tempted before, and when my brother was on here it was pretty hard not too, I'd have to all out ignore him for a few days to be careful ). But it's highly suggested that you avoid talking about the game outside the game, atleast while both of you are still in it. Kinda gives you an unfair advantage. (haha, sorry, just the multiple-times-Mod in me that is a bit crazy about some of the not-stressed-upon-enough rules). I think that's why Nog brought it up.

Eek okay I can see that. Lari actually left this morning to go back to Claremont, so there won't be much more in person chatting with her for a couple months but I'll stay away from the topic online, too.

You had to ignore your brother for a few days? Poor Wilwa...

Heh. Duck and I couldn't manage it when we were in Shasta's game.

Okay, to be fair, I couldn't handle it. I just squee too much.



Also, for enjoyment....duck and I were talking a bit ago.



Sally:
I'm trying to decide what to do about (player)
*ponders*
*strokes hair on her chin*
Blast. Need to pluck that.
Duck:
Eat (her/him).
Sally:
lol
erm, okay
why?
Duck:
Because (he/she)’s tasty?
Sally:
lol
good enough for me!
Duck:
Hurrah!
Sally:

Duck:
(Feel free to post this on the thread)
Sally:
om nom
lol
Duck:
Om nom nom.
Sally:
SPLEEN

Duck:
*slavers*
Sally:
heh
MASTICATE
MASTICATE
Duck:
Hehehe




Lol. Because I love my duck. ^_^

Yeah, it was weird cause we're close, but then once the game was done it'd give us something interesting to talk about for a while, and the rest of the family would be confused. Good times. (Wayne the Goblin, if your curious as to his screen name)

Now, when I play with Glirdan on the other hand, it's quite nice getting a little RL break from him! Especially cause we're always trying to kill each other in the games and I think we both kinda bug each other because our playing styles are soooo different and we surprisingly suck at reading each other, real test of our friendship! (would love it if he saw this )

x'ed with Sally, luvs her Sally ^_^
