Ok. Enough of that. What else to talk about? I think you all are still neutral suspicionwise.

Haha. Such fun.
I could see where the confusion came from.

Izzy is typically the shortened version of my name - Isabellkya.
Inzy was a trial one for Inziladun's.. but I think Dun is the most popular one as of late I would say.

Should we lynch Wilwa now for professing her paper communications between herself and wolves? Or did I read that wrong?

No, Isabellkya. We need a better reason than a werewolf themed parody of a song about paper communications from chimpanzees. And sorry about the mixup. That's all for tonight (My time.) Later, all.

That is very suspicious.

Ah, but! The last game saw a wolf joke about Apples all game long - Nerwen! Wilwa was her partner in crime!


I think it a fair conclusion that joking about being evil on Day one, should net you a lynching! Especially if you were a nefarious creature in the previous game, and were partnered with a wolf whom joked about being evil all game long....

xD

First, thumbs up for the War Pigs cover to TEW. If every new player introduced him/herself like this, it would certainly help me distinguish them better from the gray mass

Secondly, though, however nice the joking's been here this far, I am dreading the moment when Nogrod comes and lynches you all. That's just to say the general warning...

Thirdly, well, what else. I should also say that I am not sure how much I am going to be around toDay, as I will have Lommy around here, and even though it's possible we may be able to post each from our own computers, not sure if we will post *that* much. If it stays this way, however, I am not worried about missing too many important posts (although of course at least some posts to the topic would be appreciated, although there's still some Daylight left).

Speaking of that, I think there will be of course a LOT more to deal with toMorrow, given the amount of kills that can happen - and "special effects" on top of that. The point is, of course, that very well half of us might not be here anymore by toMorrow.

Thinking whether there is anything more clever to say in general - well, since I think I understand the rules now that I have re-read them, there's probably not anything more... maybe just, I hope I understood it correctly, the revived people can be only Ordos and they will return as only Ordos? I think that's pretty powerful tool in that case, and I guess there can be also pretty creative use for that, but most of all, I hope it will provide the balance needed.

Because - at last, a totally insignificant and totally unimportant note - should I be worried that nobody seems to worry about the fact that almost a half of the people in the village are Wolves? It looks at least sinister, and that's why I am looking up to the revivals as tools of balance (although they, by themselves, need some people to die first - one of them a Wolf. Also, am I right, if a Unicorn dies on the first Day, the ability's wasted?).

Going to work soon just popping in.

Preliminary look at everyone who's posted

The Elf Warrior... chatter chatter chatter.... Day 1 early on not suspicious (Just noticed his analysis post however has a song as well as Wilwa... evilish

Wilwa.... The lovely talented song writer...apparently... Songs always make me suspicious they always say "Look I'm fun keep me around" to me. evilish

Shasta... Some people post 'In-Character' Shasta posted as someone else entirely... Not liking that.

Inzil: Nothing to report on his one post.

Nerwen: To many times she slips under everyone's radar especially mine... I'll be watching you.

Sally: I give up. You're crazy random and ridiculous. I'm watching you too. I know your M.O. so I'll have at least an idea what to watch for.

Isabella: Throwing up a call for lynch in your first post is highly strange. You can pass it off as a joke later but I have a feeling we'll see you try to build a sturdy case against her. just laying the ground work for an innocent's death? Or are you a gifted with knowledge we don't have?

Seconded.

That would be the worst case scenario: 1 lynch + 2 Night-kills (one from each of the two packs) + supposing 2 of these 3 people are the Hunter and one of the Lovers, they each take 1 other person with them = 5 people dead. Not quite half the village, but appalling enough, to be sure.
It's like having a Werebear around, only worse, because we'll have to eradicate one entire pack of three in order to halve the bloodshed. Granted, with a little luck some of the Night-kills will hit wolves of the competing pack, but we'd better not count on the wolves to do our job for us.

The way I understood it, only innocents can be revived, and they'll be revived as ordos, whatever their previous role. (If only original ordos could be revived in the first place, there might not be any revival at all - this village seems to suffer from a remarkable shortage of them...)

Yes, you should. We all should.

The same applies, I suppose, if the innocent Unicorn should be mislynched on Day1.

After last game, I quite agree with that. To be fair, though, wilwa's song was about being pursued by wolves rather than being wolvish herself, so this is anything but evidence.
