1. He.

3. Fine, ignore Eomer, but there's some other people around who have posted a word or two. What do you think of them? Any idea who might be morphish?

iunno. It would just be weird. Two times in a row. Blame me, go ahead. I tell you I'm not a wolf. I think the people blaming me are morphish
yep. Hotdogs his name. I think the morphish thing turned them off. Well right now the powers off so we could be attacked and not know it.

Repeat: I'm not blaming you, I'm not saying you're a wolf (Eomer is the only one who has done that so far). I'm trying to provoke you to say something more than 'I'm not a wolf' in order to help me form an independent opinion of you.
Stating your opinions of other crewmembers would be a good starting point.

Like this, for example (complying with my own request):

Trust (as of now, with due caution)
Zil - sensible and level-headed, if somewhat quiet, but that's how he is. If a morph, then a cautious one, but no evidence to that effect up to now.
Lottie - now she's switched from techno-babble to wolf-catching mode, she looks like herself and allright to me.
sally - some more reservation, as there's only one post from her, but that one looks plain sallyish.

Undecided
BG (BeeGee?) - some posts, but little of any solid contents to go on.
Noia - liked his energetic entry, but hoped he'd follow it up with some more input. His suspicion of Rikae was clearly meant as a joke. Rebuked Eomer for unreasoned suspicion, which I quite agree with, but pardon me sir, that was an awfully obvious thing to say...
Rikae - one post, hard to say how much of it was joking and what (if any) wasn't. Where has she gone?

Not trusting so much
wilwa - I think I see where Lottie's suspicion of her is coming from, and see my #39 above, but since she seems to be having time issues, I'd be reluctant to vote her unless she comes back and does something more morphish while I'm still awake.
Eomer - as I've said above, an enigma; if not a morph, he should realize that he's making it rather hard for us to trust him.

No show, therefore no idea (and eligible to be lynched for submarining faute de mieux)
Izzy
Shasta
winty
Keeperandir of Dol Mira


Suspicious
Any of the above to be moved into this category with a little more to go on.

(sort of x-ed with a lot of Eomers while writing and before posting. That's much better - move him into the Undecided category.)

Grrrr. So I can't stay to comment more, but I've no suspicions on most people.

That said....

++Sally


Because I have no idea, as I said. Yes, it's a throwaway, as I certainly won't be happy if I come back and am dead, but I'd rather vote myself than accidentally contribute to some innocent's lynch when I don't suspect anyone yet.


Sorry again for this. I'll be back toMorrow (Captain Nerwen willing, that is) and will hopefully be more helpful. Play nicely while Silly Sally's gone. There may be cookies if you're good.

Pitch, I was just trying to get some argument flowing. That's all. It wasn't too productive but I believe that's because not many people have been around!

Really have to go to bed now so must vote. I give myself 3 minutes to decide.

Few bites thus far.

Nothing happening at all actually! Slightly uncertain about Inziladun who's experienced enough to know all yer Day One tricks and shenanigans, but didn't show it.

Ach weel, let's try something else.

By the way, not all of us followed the last game. Or the game before that.

Loslote has a funny feeling about Wilwa, which I'd like her to expand on.

She also has a gut feeling that Inziladun is innocent, and thought I probably wouldn't have said what I said were I a wolf.... uh, alien robot bad guy type.

Ok, she's interesting and contributing at least. Leave her alive for now.

Shield List of suspicion

Inziladun – very suspicious, though makes more points than most. Keep for now.

Paranoia –very suspicious. Didn't like my baseless accusation of Blind Guardian but was happy enough shouting at Rikae.

Sally – suspicious. I would probably lynch her.

Pitchwife – suspicious, but makes some fair points. Keep alive now, lynch later.

Blind Guardian – offers nothing so far. Probably has an evil secret and is scared of letting it slip. Lynch her.

Loslote – keep alive. She seems decent enough so far.

Keeper of Dol Guldur – Probably evil, and that's why no show so far. Well, you're plan of getting all the innocents to fight among themselves has backfired - because no-one's accusing anybody! Ha!

Isabellkya – Don't trust her one little bit.

Wilwa - I like Wilwa. She can stay.

Shasta – Some people you can tell are evil just by looking at them.

wintywinty – this cannot be a real person. I wouldn't let it on my ship.

Rikae- benefit of the doubt so far but she's pretty suspicious as usual.


--------------


Plenty candidates for my vote then.

I have no problem talking to myself.

This is pretty interesting in one regard at least. I think there's usually no reason for wolves to 'show themselves' on Day One; it's perfectly easy to hide in the background and survive a couple of days at least. That's why I often look for wolves (say, maybe 2 of the 3) as lurking in the shadows on Day One. They'll make an appearance, for sure, but basically not say anything.

It's hard to say how that will go (at this moment) because the deadline means I'll probably be the first to vote. We'll see tomorrow.

I forget where Rikae is living nowadays ( ) and the US/Europe time divide, but she certainly fits the description of just popping in, in a perfunctory manner, and slipping away.

OK, but there's also loudmouth wolves, and the occasional cub who's so excited to be furry they just can't stop themselves talking, even if they don't say anything. It seems BG was such a one last game, but how probable is it she'd repeat that behaviour pattern?

On the US side of the Big Water, I think, so I hope she'll show up and say something more substantial later in what counts as evening for her.

Well, I thought that might be it, and it worked in a way, so I think you may be safe from my vote for toDay. Good lower case night!

EDIT: fixed quote formatting.

Oh snap, you've totally got me sorted. New plan time!

So thus far I've just skimmed the posts since I just got back from work and now need noms, but should be back before deadline with something actually worthwhile to say.

"Arrive"? "Arrive" from where, deep space? I've been here the entire time.

Um... yes.

My first project is to restore running water to the facilities - Lottie's head is notably hard.

In any case, down to suspicions. Lottie has a history of being roughly 50% correct in her day one suspicions, and given that Wilwa is Lottie's only real suspicion so far, and given that the second post of Wilwa's that Lottie claims is 'forced' actually isn't (aaaand that this is entirely the style of play that so irritated me last time I played in a game with you, Lottie, dear, so I'm nipping it in the bud now - Stop it, with love, Shasta ), I don't buy it.

Right now I'm suspicious of Sally. Her vote looks precisely designed to not... do much of anything besides discourage other random votes for her.

I also, while reading up to this point, developed a "suspicious" read on either Pitch or Eomer... but for the life of me can not remember which one it was! I'm going to go figure that out now.
