Okay. After Form's explanation toDay I think we can treat him and Zil as semi-known innocents, unless some really spectacular revelation occurs.

Or, by extension, Nogrod (doesn't look too good to me in his own right, either).

I actually thought Lottie's Nienna-the-pseudo-Seer was a reasonable sort of theory at the time... but after the curious logical gymnastics that she used in her analysis of Glirdan, in which Form came out "pretty bad" for some reason, yet Nogrod remained pure as the driven snow... well.

Of course, if they are indeed packmates, Nogrod's now busy throwing Lottie under the bus, but what does that prove?

I'm stealing a lonely 5 minutes away from "Human Formation"--tonight will be another "well, this would have worked better with the 10:00 deadline"--and I'll do the same--hopefully!--before the deadline.

Has anyone given thought to whom we should pick as Simon? Fea is ineligible, obviously.

Not, mind you, that I think we need to rig it, as we have a few "Semi-Known Innocents" who will likely accrue votes at a higher rate... but it occurred to me as something to consider, and I have to be back being formed into a Human much too soon to reflect whether or not it's a sane idea to ponder.

Oh--and I do not right now think that I will be voting Wilwa, Lottie, or Steve.

Just so you know where my general "eermy" feelings lie.

You can think whatever you think of me, but that's just absurd.

I suggest you start thinking in some more logical ways, really... I can't stay up all Night correcting stuff like that.

Nonsense, my friend, you need to have more faith in yourself.

Seriously– let's just suppose I'm right about you for a moment– in this situation, what else could you do?

Hey, it's not my fault no one pays attention to my posts. Apparently, I'm easy to ignore...

I would like to see Inziladun as our Simon because I believe he is the one I can trust most; I'm feeling pretty confident in his innocence.

Time for another vote:

++Formendacil

I thought he looked innocent before the whole revenge kill thing and toDay I think he is being truthful in his posts. He seems pretty trustworthy right now.

One more vote left, which I'll be making soon since my favourite show ever is on during the last hour of the Day.

So here's who we have left:

Inziladun
Fea
Formy
Izzy
Lottie
Nerwen
Nogrod
Rune
Eonwe
Wilwa


Two of these players are wolves. As of now, I'm feeling quite sure that Inzil, Izzy, and Formy are innocent. Which leaves the rest. I don't have much time to think, but I'll do my best.

++Inziladun Very probably innocent, so why not make him Simon?

++Brinn Because she hasn't got any votes yet, and I'd prefer not to see her lynched.

My other two votes I'll hold for the moment until it's clearer how the voting is going.

Failing a sudden gifted reveal or something, I don't think I'll be voting for Lottie, Nog or Wilwa. The odds that no member of that trio is a wolf don't look good to me.

EDIT:X'd since Sally.

So then...

I'd suggest the lynch would go to Lottie or wilwa. They both voted Glirdan against any better judgement of an innocent - and they are smart people.

If not, then I'd think we should try Eönwë (his opportunism with first suddenly suspecting me after people had made some suspicious comments on me and I had not been around the whole Day - and then drawing it back immediately when I happened to come online - looks very suspicious indeed!)

Or Brinn the master-wolf whom no one suspects as she's so sneaky. If she is a wolf her post toDay was a masterpiece, but not the first she has made. It looks quite calculated - or then I'm just reading too much into her.

That will leave me with

Dun
Fea
Form
Izzy
Nerwen
Rune


I can vote Inzil for the double security (both Brinn and Form can't be lying while one of them can - unless there's a mysterious fifth wolf or one who plays to their hands)

++ Inzil

And I'm ready to see him as the Simon as he seems to be level-headed.

Of others, I still think Form would not have knowingly posted to the thread during the Night while discussing with other wolves. That is enough for me, at least now (who knows what kind of roles we have but it's vain to speculate on that kind of things now with no further knowledge).

++ Formendacil

And I have nothing agianst him being the Simon either.

If Brinn is a wolf then Izzy might be as well, but she has been reasonable and sharp enough toDay that I think she earns the place to live toMorrow.

++ Isabellkya


But where to put the last one?

I just plain feel awkward with this Fea-bandwagon of two Days now and leave choosing her to you others. Looking at her posts I have no reason to think her more innocent than anyone else.

Rune has been controversial to a point and said he'd have trouble with the internet connection toDay... but what Eönwë noted about the votes crossing Glirdan, wilwa and Rune I'm tempted not to vote him.

Nerwen has been mostly reasonable like she tends to be. But the fact that none supects her more tells me she is playing too carefully in a popularity based game, so I'm a bit torn about her...


Talking of which...

Let me see.

Supposing I'd be a wolf (and supposing then also that Lottie would be my mate).

I'd probably have posted when I got online around 10PM (my time), said I was in a hurry, noted some "suspicious things"... then making a few nice words of you, Fea, Brinn, Izzy, Inzil etc... (to gain enough good will even if you disagreed with my negligence of talking about Lottie)... Then I'd have said it's just too late and I need to go - voting for confidence to those whom I thought were the leaders of the popular opinion. And I would be sleeping already.

Or I could have made a fervent defence of Lottie just for the sport of it. That would have been a nice challenge indeed and something worthy of trying. Had I succeeded, that would have been a heroic tale to remember. Thinking of it now, I could actually have tried that.

I've played alone as a wolf against a whole village once and that was enough for me - and there was no seer left there. I managed a few Days but it was hopeless and doomed.

And anyway: haven't I been controversial enough for the seer to check me? Would I do that as a wolf? That would be a death sentence.


Just out of curiosity: were you a wolf Nerwen, how would you have played differently?

EDIT: x'd with more than I thought... & put the second last sentence to be the second last sentence as I had forgotten it into the middle...

Or you'd have tried to cut ties with her, but then perhaps tried to sow suspicion about as many other people as you could– oh, wait, you just did.

Mmmn. I agree it wouldn't be fun. My point is that, supposing you were a wolf and Lottie– or, for that matter, Wilwa– your comrade, you'd know it still wasn't worth the risk of trying to save her.

Besides, there are a number of people in this village right now who have managed to win as lone wolves, sometimes with gifteds still around. And seers can be eaten at Night.

Not necessarily– but anyway I don't recall you were "controversial" at all most of this game.

No. That was actually a serious question. Were you a wolf you would have been just as smooth and opportunistic, or am I wrong? So should I ask how had you played if you were innocent perhaps? Maybe that would have made you feel I was asking you a real question?
