WW LXXVII: The Metamorphs of Wolf-562-e

[Pitchwife]

Right, I'm here at last.

Noia, I agree it was bad form to vote you without letting you answer to my suspicion before, but I waited for you to show up as long as I reasonably could, and indeed a bit longer. My problem is that DL in my timezone is 5am, which is an hour before I have to get up for work, so except for weekends, I have to vote hours before you come online. As deplorable as this is, I don't think it should keep me from voting you if I think I have good reasons to do so. Nor vice versa.

So the question remains whether I really had good reasons. I thought I had at the time, but looking back, I'm a lot less confident about them now than I was yesterDay. Anyway, I'll try to explain how I got there.

There was simply no other conclusion I could come to in my mind. And I honestly think the person who looks the worse out of what happened in the last 20 or so minutes is Willwuffin, because no matter how I read her posts there it all felt like the same thing.

"I really think BG is innocent but I'm not going to deign to tell you guys why I think so, despite how blatantly suspect she is being. I'm going to blithely throw my vote away on sally, and continue saying that even though I think BG is really innocent, I'm not going to meaningfully help her in any shape or form."

Yes, you gave reasons beyond the list issue, and I believe I said in my summary yesterDay that your vote actually looked the best in terms of reasoning. And about wilwa, she definitely looked the worst, but I thought there was a meager chance that she'd been actually trying to help but gave up because no one was listening (her throwaway vote would still have been bad, of course). Thankfully, that's cleared up now.

Still, I thought and think it was reasonable to assume that at least one of the morphs was involved in the process of lynching BG (to avoid the word bandwagon, if you object to it), simply because of the other players alive yesterDay (beside wilwa), only Lottie had made a vote at all, and I didn't see her as morphish. That left of course the non-voters, but how do you draw conclusions from a non-vote?

From there on, it was basically a process of elimination, as Rikae put it... although I'm afraid the last stages of it weren't entirely logical.

It's one thing to vote an innocent with a reason and turn out wrong. It's another thing to vote an innocent without saying a bloody thing, being wrong, and skating by. Something's off there.

I don't believe I 'entirely ignored' Zil. I noted the lack of a reason given in his vote post, and his sealing BG's fate; he replied to that and explained himself, and it made sense to me. Also I didn't and still don't see him acting the way I think a Zilmorph would. (Add with hindsight that our late and lamented Lottie, who claims she can 'totally read him', had him in the 'probable innocent' category in her last list.)

Shasta's defense convinced me; Izzy's not so much, at least initially; but as she got more and more exasperate, I started developping doubts about her, and likewise with wilwa.

And there was the point which you adress here:

Morphs, Wolves, and Mafia will vote in any order they please. And I don't really call it bandwagoning when someone can provide decent reasoning; bandwagoning to me is just simply voting for someone with an overall rehashed reason.

Every post of her's added fuel to the metaphorical fire, and the more I looked at her the worse I felt about her. I said as much, and I gave reasoning for why I felt the way I did. If I was Morphanoia, I would have known she was innocent. I probably would have thrown an insubstantial vote on someone I was more suspicious earlier in the day on say... Eomer. That way I have a throwaway that isn't a, you know, obvious throwaway.

Well, the thing about morphs in the middle isn't of course a universal truth, but still I think it rather more probable than anything else, given that scum of any description don't want to stick out. And saying 'If I were a morph I wouldn't have done x but rather y' is a standard wolfish defense, as you mention yourself.

Something's off there, considering you've basically link her with me/shasta/izzy as the definite member of whatever morphpack is on the ship. Care to explain why you voted me above the one constant amongst your conjecture?

OK, what happened in my head in the final two or three hours before my vote was that on the one hand I was becoming more and more confused about Izzy and wilwa, while on the other hand the suspicion I had against you went into a sort of feedback loop and developped into something not entirely dissimilar to a certain psychic disorder from which your nick is derived - to the point where I actually saw wilwa sharing my suspicion of you as a point for her innocence, instead of the other way round, as would have been more reasonable.

"Well well if you're a wolf you're dangerous!" Doesn't cut it. That is always a horrible reason, because you are basically bringing a justification into the game that boils down to "what if they're a wolf?"

I stand corrected, sir.

All in all, I think I had some valid points against you. Whether they really added up to a conclusive case at the time... I thought they did, but I'm not that sure anymore. If I could have read your response before having to vote, I most likely wouldn't have voted you. What I probably should have done is stick with the 'one constant', wilwa, and give you the benefit of doubt till toDay.

And now that we know wilwa was indeed a morph, you obviously look a lot better - I have a hard time seeing her bandwagoning on my vote as morph-on-morph; have to think it through, but at the moment it doesn't seem likely to me.

Rikae, I hope this also answers your question about my vote. As for the other one: of course the Defender or Assassin wouldn't have known any morphs. What I was trying to say in the post you quoted were two independent points:
1. If Eomer happened to be right about another morph beside sally, that would have been a good reason for them to get rid of him.
2. Whether 1. is true or not, they may also have thought him one of the remaining Agents. He certainly behaved mysteriously enough on Day 1 to smell gifted.
Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.

Phew. This took me ages to write, now let me see what happened in the meantime.

[Pitchwife]

winty - if I understand you correctly, you're saying that I first killed Eomer because he suspected me and next killed Lottie because she suspected me. Now my reasoning may not always be flawless, but I like to believe that I wouldn't be daft enough to leave such a clear trail. Especially not since I could have foreseen that I'd be in for some scrutiny toDay after my vote and wilmorph 's wagoning on it. (And yeah, I realize I've just used the classic "I wouldn't do that as a wolf" defense I talked about above. Nevertheless.)

But you would know as a wolf that everyone would discount this trail for being too easy, that everyone would think "no wolf would do that" thereby allowing you to do that.

[Rikae]

Pitch, I'm a bit uneasy about the way you used the "exasperated innocent" explanation for both Izzy and Wilwa, and then lump them in similarly together toDay. I thought Wilwa and Izzy's behavior was quite different, and absolving two players with that one reason? Well, I don't know if I really buy it in Wilwa's case.
As for Wilwa bandwagoning on a fellow morph's vote, I think it's possible. She's been around long enough to see that it wouldn't *necessarily* leave a trail.
As for Pitch killing Eomer and Lottie because they suspected him - that's not even necessary. Whoever the last morph is, as I said before, I'm almost certain they killed Lottie as a suspected gifted. I don't know about Pitch, but when I'm evil, getting the gifteds is priority number one. Trails? Those are nonsense anyway. There are very few wolves out there any more who will simply and straightforwardly kill those who suspect them (too obvious) or avoid killing them even if they think they're gifted (because of point #1 - there's nothing terribly risky about killing someone who suspects one. Everyone will just call it a framing attempt anyway).
Thus, in response to Pitch's points here:

Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.

I say:
1. I don't think that's any more or less likely than the opposite. Since Pitch was one of those suspects, it makes him look nice and honest... a bit too much.
2. Eomer is always mysterious. However, it's nice to know that you, Pitch, found him giftedishly mysterious!

I didn't say that was out of the question, but I still think it unlikely.

Additionally, I think Pitch's words toDay thus far seem pretty reasonable.

Para looks fairly clean at the moment for his Wilwa vote, and his explanations yesterDay.

I don't agree with the majority of winty's points, but that doesn't mean he's evil.

Rikae? Always a tough one for me to figure out. She was laying low early on, at least more so than I might expect. However, yesterDay she looked more like the Rikae I remembered. She seemed to make some good points about Izzy. Her vote for Izzy seemed well-reasoned enough.

Izzy and Shasta were the other two (along with Lottie and me) in the BG wagon. It's quite obvious everyone who voted BG wasn't a Metamorph, but I do think it's highly improbable there were no Metas involved.

Shasta didn't vote, saying in the Admin Thread that he forgot about DL. Well, I guess it happens. He had been saying Wilwa would have been his vote. Anyone can say that, granted, but he'd also been suspecting her before, as I recall. Is wolf-on-wolf out of the question? No, but with only two of them left it would seem unnecessarily risky.

Which leaves Izzy. The sudden vote against Rikae bothers me somewhat. It might have been a knee-jerk reaction of an innocent against suspicion, but it could also have been a seizure of opportunity in finding a plausible reason to vote for someone besides Wilwa.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Here and reading.

Yep. I forgot to mention his own vote in my reply to him above, but that's another point for him.

I don't agree with the majority of winty's points, but that doesn't mean he's evil.

I obviously don't agree either. It bothers me a bit that he's been so goddamn convinced of my morphishness basically ever since he first showed up and no matter what happens, it always seems to fit his Pitchmorph theory, but up to now, he may be an innocent suffering from the same kind of tunnel vision and over-confidence that led to my vote yesterDay.

She looks decent enough to me. Neither morph nor traitor, I think (certainly not the latter, or she wouldn't have grilled me like that toDay). Could possibly be the CyberBear, or whatever it is, if anything.

I thought, and still think, so too... Let's not ignore the Day 1 non-voters, though.

I asked myself the same question about wilwa and Noia. In any other village, I wouldn't have ruled it out completely, but with a third party involved, I think they wouldn't have risked one of them being left alone. Another point for both Shasta and Noia.

I don't at the moment know head from tail about Izzy.

EDIT: x-ed with Shasta, Shasta, Nerwen, winty, Zil and winty.

After my analysis of the first day, it seemed to me that You, Noia, and Zil were the most suspicious. That after the second day and night, your name appeared on Lottie's list, and then she was killed, and it appears as if Wilwa was following your lead, knowing that nobody would suspect of her leaving such a simple trail. Neither Noia nor Zil have not done anything extremely suspicious, so they have gone down on my suspicion list. I am not fitting the data (what people say and do) to my theory, but rather reassessing the data after each Night, and it so happens that what I found who I found as suspicious today was the same one who I found suspicion with yesterday.

X'd with Rikae and Izzy

And I would also know that they know that I know, and they would know that I know that they know, that I know, etc. etc. This isn't getting us anywhere.

Yeah, it was different - Izzy lashing out at whoever was questioning her (first me, then you), wilwa more like pleading "why don't you all see what a good girl I've really been". What I said in that neverending post above was from memory, which can be deceiving. Looking at wilwa's later posts now, up to the point of my vote and hers, she actually became less defensive and seemed to be pulling herself together (which I liked at the time), until she was questioned again for her vote. The latter was after I'd left, but I'd read it up in the meantime and got the chronology mixed up. My bad.

As for yesterDay - yep, I used the same expression in both cases. I guess the best I can say is that at the moment I'm not terribly proud of my reasoning yesterDay. Pitch enamoured with his Paramorphia theory, believing he's had a stroke of genius while everybody's concentrating on Izzy and wilwa , and getting carried away so far that he lets the real morph off the hook... and in the process drawing enough suspicion to himself that the last morph is probably leaning back with a bowl of popcorn right now. Not to mention the Cyberbear, or WereCyborg, or whatever it is whose kill Lottie managed to prevent last Night.

There's that word again. "Fantastic". Wilwa said it too, you know.

Now this is certainly an eyebrow-raiser. Whatever killed Sally and attacked Lottie last night is pretty obviously some kind of were-Bear role. And in my experience, singular were-Bears generally have something going for them besides a simple nightkill to help them with survivability. Now, we've taken out two of the three Morphs, which leaves us with one Morph with a nightkill. Now, what I'm wondering is - why try to get us to discount the wereBear, who is clearly more dangerous than the lone Morph, completely?

Originally Posted by Inzil

That would have been a pretty bold move if Pitch was Wilwa's packmate, and it doesn't seem likely they would have taken such a risk. Wilwa knew she'd been under suspicion most of the Day, and she had to have known it was at least possible she would be lynched, so I find it hard to believe she would have been so quick to link herself with Pitch.

Interesting and slightly expected, given that I still think Zil is the traitor and suspect Pitch.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Alright, I'm caught up. Now I'll finish that analysis of Pitch from yesterday.

[Inziladun]

Originally Posted by Shastanis Althreduin

I could be the Traitor. So could you.

Pitch could be the last Meta, certainly. But do you really think it's likely Wilmorph would have been so blatant as to follow his vote on Para so quickly? If she'd waited a bit to test the wind, then done it if no one else questioned Pitch about it, I'd think it more plausible.

EDIT: to respond to winty, a werebear kills at Night like a wolf, but he's by himself. He only wins if all the wolves die and he's left alive.

Good point, Shasta, and especially interesting considering that I started thinking Paranoia looked a bit werebearish yesterDay. When I get a chance I'll have to dig up the quotes that set off the alarm, but for now I'll just say the overall detached-but-cautious vibe is worrisome, as well as the smug tone this morning.
The situation as it stands now is ideal for a bear: only one competitor-morph left, but that one means the number of innocents decreases quickly - and, out of the gifteds, only the one who can't do the bear any harm left (and who might even end up treating the bear as a sort of "known innocent"!)

[Isabellkya]

Scratch my thought that the 3rd party and Metamorph were both after Loslote. She merely blocked the thirds attack.

known innocent known morph

Day 1:
Loslote -> Pitch
BG -> Loslote
Izzy -> BG
Shasta -> BG2
Paranoia -> BG3
Dun -> BG4
Wilwa -> Sally

Day2:
Pitch -> Paranoia
Wilwa -> Paranoia
Rikae -> Izzy
Paranoia -> Wilwa
Winty -> Pitch
Dun -> Wilwa2
Loslote -> Wilwa3
Izzy -> Rikae

Pitch -> Paranoia.
If you're wondering why, you haven't read my posts toDay. I'm not comfortable with voting him before he's had a chance to respond, but given our different time zones, it can't be helped. He looks like the most suspicious of the BG voters to me, and I'm not that confident about voting anybody else. And if he's indeed a morph, he's a dangerous one, so get rid of him NOW.

Wilwa -> Paranoia
I'm not going to vote for Inzil, because I have the feeling no one will go along with that. Ditto for Lottie and Shasta. So I'll go with my fourth option, though I wasn't originally planning on voting him, I'm willing to since I do find him suspicious and I'd rather not waste my vote toDay.

Rikae -> Izzy
#205. Yeah, Izzy's pretty suspicious, indeed. I don't see anyone more
suspicious around, so:

Paranoia -> Wilwa
#211 Should I get lynched in the interrim, I'm laying down my suspicions as Pitch, Wilwarin, and Zul as a possibility. I am uneasy about Izzy but I don't feel too bad about her at the moment. I believe Shasta, Lottie, and Rikae as town.

Winty -> Pitch
Most Suspicious:
Pitchwife, Wilwa, Noia, and Zil

Dun -> Wilwa
For previously stated reasons.

Loslote -> Wilwa
For, of course, previously stated reasons...

Izzy -> Rikae

You can deem it as OMGUS I suppose, though that isn't the reason. Yes we interpret what others do - but blatantly spinning it to fit your vote.. come on.


- I could not find a reason for why Paranoia voted for Wilwa. Unless I am remembering wrong, one or two people have said that he looks good because he voted for WIlwa. Yet.. where is the reason for it? I actually don't see him discuss her at all in regards to his suspicions towards her. The previous Day, he had no read on her. Was this an OMGUS vote for her Paranoia? Or were you simply preemptively voting for her, because she looked like she might be in trouble? In the post you voted for her, you listed as you were suspicious of Pitch more thanyou were of Wilwa. So why vote her over him?

-Winty's official vote was posts later after his list. If I remember correctly, he was having issues with the tagging. Again, where is the reason for your vote?

-Dun. What previously stated reasons on Wilwa? I looked through all of yours posts from yesterDay and couldn't find a single instance of where you described your suspicions upon Wilwa. #221 you said she was still 'tops on your list'. Am I missing a page or something?

X'd with every thing after #266

[Shastanis Althreduin]

On Pitch -

#18 - Banter. Asks Eomer what's suspicious about BG.

#22 - Banter. Laments the fact that the Assassin can't reveal and act as a pseudoSeer. Asks Eomer if he's just stirring the pot.

#26 - Tries to turn discussion away from the rules.

#28 - Disagrees with Rikae about the effectiveness of a revealed Hunter.

#39 - IC flattery of Inzil that I mentioned earlier, which fits my current working theory of Inziltraitor and Pitchmorph. Also flips a bit on his thoughts on discussing game mechanics in response to Lottie's suspicion of Wilwa...

Originally Posted by Pitch

So much in general. As for wilwa, don't know... Though it seems to me that a Morph has more reason to be happy about the Agents' deep conditioning than anybody else. I'd like to see what she's got to say when she's back, if I manage to stay awake that long.

Now, this could be an honest suspicion of Wilwa, but I think it's too vague for that. It looks more like preparatory morph-on-morph suspicion - very light, but something to be pointed to once the morph in question is revealed.

#40 - Asks BG what she has to say about Eomer's suspicion of her.

#42 - Numbered points in response to BG. This post seems almost naggy, and kind of nitpicky. Now, granted, several people (myself included) began pressing BG later in the day (about her list), but this is earlier in the day, and looks sort of like a preparatory witch-hunt. The question is, would a Pitchmorph be this obvious?

#54 - Responses to Eomer. Ends up deciding not to vote him. Mentions that BG was a "loudmouth wolf[/b] in the previous game.

#55 - Notes that Eomer's vote isn't highlighted.

#158 - Analyzes the BG wagon (or at least relates it). Here's the bit I find fishy.

Originally Posted by Pitch

And I find it noteworthy that you immediately jumped on the four people in that wagon hardcore. Lots of lynch-fodder in a group of four, surely one will take, right? Especially since you badgered her just as much previously, while you were still around.

#159 - Analyzes the other votes of the day. States what he calls "obvious" -

Originally Posted by Pitch

If I remember correctly, Sally's done the same thing when innocent if she doesn't have time to participate day one, so calling it an "obvious camouflage maneuver" seems a bit overly-eager. Also builds on his suspicion of Wilwa based on her vote for Sally. Apparently everyone who's still alive who voted is suspicious, now, save Lottie (who voted for Pitch himself!)

#162 - Analyzes Eomer and his death. Suggests that he was killed because he had another Morph among his top suspects, or that he appeared Gifted (although this seemed to be an afterthought). Then says it would have made sense for Lottie and/or Wilwa to have killed Eomer to frame said top suspects. Then says it could have even been both.

#165 - Responds to Izzy, but finds the fact that she voted BG so quickly suspicious. Doesn't think we should concentrate on the BG voters to the exclusion of all else, but doesn't think we should ignore them (no one really was, at this point).

#166 - More "feelgoodery" in response to Inzil.

#168 - Details his thoughts on Noia. This bit right here is interesting...

Originally Posted by Pitch

All in all, he's a hard one. Hands-on approach and some good points, but telling Eomer not to make unreasoned accusations while doing it himself? His vote on BG looks the most well-reasoned of the four, but I gather he's an experienced player, if new to the Fleet, and therefore perfectly capable of making a good-looking case against an innocent if he's a morph.

Now, I believe that the word "unreasoned" refers to Noia's IC "suspicion" of Rikae, but as that was IC it's pretty safely disregarded, especially since Noia later said he considered Rikae innocent. So immediately calling his vote for BG "well-reasoned" right after he suspects him for being "unreasoned" comes out looking odd.

#171 - Details his thoughts on me. I've responded to most of this already, but it's worth noting that Pitch also takes the opportunity to plug his wilwa-suspicion here. There are several things in this post, as well, that make me think that this was preparatory to becoming an actual case on me, but was later aborted. I could, however, just have a tremendous ego.

#172 - Asks if Mira was modfired.

#173 - Details his thoughts on Lottie, Winty, Zil, Rikae, and Izzy. Trusts Lottie, sees nothing morphish about Winty, trusts Zil (of course), sees nothing morphish about Rikae, and suspects Izzy.

#178 - Considers the most likely morphs to be Wilwa, Noia, me, and Izzy. Is set on Wilwa being a morph, quite firmly so. Starts pondering if Wilwa might be the Traitor instead.

#187 - Mr. Agreeable rears his head again. Thinks I look better after my responses to his earlier post.

#190 - Two things interesting here.

Well, given that it was Eomer... Seriously, though, given that you put EomerSeer in your list of scenarios, the thought had to have crossed your mind. The fact that there was "nothing else going on" doesn't excuse the fact that you could have outed the Seer there. That's all I'm saying.

Also...

Hmmm. This post of Izzy's has some marks of an exasperated innocent. I'm inclined to move her to the lower end of my suspicion list, along with Shasta. (Zil is already there)

Now, hold on. Just three lines above, you said you didn't buy Izzy's explanation of her thoughts on BG, but you immediately turn around and label her "exasperated innocent"? There's something off there.

#191 - Responds to Inzil's explanation of the flattery earlier. Also mentions that a Pitchmorph and a Zilmorph working together would look like Lottie's game (because playstyles never, ever change, right?) Also, starts trying to alleviate suspicion on Wilwa - this could be a Pitchmorph realizing that his morph-on-morphery has worked a little too well and trying to do damage control.

#193 - Votes for Paranoia. Now there's a lot wrong with this. Rikae's gone through some of it, but I'd like to add that earlier on in the day Noia was apparently the least suspicious of the [b]BG]/b] voters, according to Pitch.

#252 - Pops in to read the narration.

#258 - A long post that basically comes down to "Oops." Pitch analyzes his own reasons for voting Paranoia yesterday and finds them to be not as great as he'd originally thought they were.

#259 - Notes that he wouldn't be daft enough to leave a clear trail to himself as a morph with the kills. Then invalidates his post completely by noting that he used a defense that's not a defense at all.

#266 - An extension of #259, basically, combined with an "Aw, shucks, they done fooled ol' Pitch again" vibe. Not buying it.

Conclusion - After going through Pitch's posts individually I'm really thinking he's our last Morph.

Also, something we're forgetting - a werebear tends to act exactly like an innocent would in any given situation, because they have no ties to anyone. That's what makes them so hard to catch. "Clearing" someone because of how they interacted with Wilwa, for instance, doesn't "clear" them at all.

That took forever.

Shasta - impressive case. Very impressive. So impressive that I'm almost convinced myself. What really sucks about it is that I think you're doing this with the best intentions, and I've given you all the fuel for it, and none of us is going to find the true morph like that.
Right now I'm seriously tempted to Nilp myself and help you lynch me (I'm sure winty will be glad to assist), just so that is cleared up and you can move on. Only it's not the best option with two killers still running loose toMorrow.
And now I'm thinking in circles and cirles and circles, and have no clue what I can possibly say that won't make everything worse, and no idea whom to vote in good conscience.

Bah.

See here, here, and here.

No, I didn't come out and say "I think Wilwa is a Metamorph". However, she was the only one I'd really suspected all day, so I didn't think I needed to spell it out.

x/d with all since Izzy's last.

Oh Moddess, dear, am I allowed to tease them? Just a little? Just to make them come out of hiding, of course, so they'll vote and discuss and such. Please?

I may not get a chance to post again toDay, and at this point I still find

++Pitch

the most suspicious.

If Pitch isn't, I really don't know who else even could be the final morph. Might as well go by reverse alphabetical order, it's as good as anything. Too many submarinish players on this ship!
Promised discussion Paranoia and werebearery will have to wait until another time (or not, if I don't survive toNight, and I don't really expect to). A lot of that is based on a feeling/werebear experience, anyway. I'm confident, at this point, that Izzy is not the final morph, at any rate.
