WW LXXVII: The Metamorphs of Wolf-562-e

[Rikae]

Well, I've essentially already revealed anyway, so saying it explicitly won't make much difference.

[Rikae]

Oh, Inzil, you silly person.

If you lynch me, you die.

Perhaps. I think we're at an impass until winty appears.

Rikae the Assassin:

Day One

Funny how that turned out.

Talking about the hunter right off the bat.

Night Two Pick - Lottie. Learn Lottie's role.

Day Two:

Going after Izzy as top suspect.

That someone else was Wilwa, by the way.

If Izzy's guilty, that points to Wilwa quite nicely (look at her comments on the BG-wagoners), and either an innocent or guilty Izzy would shed light on the BG wagon.

Translation: I'd like to lynch Izzy now, and go after Wilwa toNight.

Night Three Pick - Izzy. Lottie protects me from Android, learns my role, and PMs me a few times. Her top suspect is Pitch for the last morph.

Day Three:
Questioning Izzy so as not to back down too obviously - still, backing down a bit even in first post:

Questioning and suspecting Pitch.

A while back, she asked quite a few questions about the ability of the gifteds to find each other - she seemed a bit too interested, if you know what I mean. At least she was able to successfully protect the... what? werebear's?... target last night.

To Izzy:

Continue questioning Pitch, but then endorse Shasta's plan to go after Paranoia. Now that I look at it, Shasta really manipulated me there by pointing
out how I would be helpless to kill the bear - I wanted to put my skills to good use by leaving what I thought was the wolf for killing that Night.

But since Pitch was lynched, I picked Inzil to hunt. Funny, but I originally intended to hunt Wintywinty ("reverse alphabetical order") but then thought checking Inzil
would be more useful, since he confused me more. At this point, I intended to leave a clear trail for the remaining villagers, since I assumed the baddies were on
to me and I was toast... and so was pretty obvious about my role and my picks:

Because I'd hunted her. Didn't want the village wasting time on her as a morph-suspect.

Hm... now, actually, I quite like Shasta's plan, especially since if we can assume the assassin will go for Pitch toNight, a living Pitch is an innocent Pitch toMorrow. If the morph kills the assassin and xe left a decent trail, there will be two essentially "known non-morphs" among the remaining players.

(Izzy, you seem to be missing the point that the assassin cannot kill the bear - from the admin thread: "Armed with a gun that shoots darts lethal to the Metamorph nervous system, the assassin may pick one target every Night." The bear is not a metamorph).

Defended Izzy when Shasta suspected her for saying "Wereborg"

Pitchwife –Metamorph suspect #1
Isabellkya –Ordo or cobbler
Shasta –Metamorph suspect #2
wintywinty – Ordo
Rikae – Good and dead.Goodbye, cruel world! I hope you all get eaten by rats... er, I mean, go village! Rah rah rah!

Most nonmorphish:
Rikae
Izzy

Fairly nonmorphish:
Inzil
wintywinty

Morphiest:
Paranoia
Pitchwife
Shasta

Because I would have killed her the night before if she were.

Izzy, since you're the tie-breaker, I'll tell you this:

Something Noia just said makes me doubt he's the Wereborg - unless you think he's the sort to pull off a bluff in his post putting me down, that is.

Because of his reading of my "ego" about being killed. The real Wereborg knew that he had tried to kill me already, of course.

Originally Posted by me

Well, if Pitch is not the morph, and Inzil's still alive tomorrow, I'd say it's a good bet the last morph is Shasta, Paranoia or Wintywinty

Last attempt to ensure that I left a good trail for the village.

And as for this morning, before I realized that the traitor could win with me, I asxsumed my only chance was to convince the bear to vote for the traitor
by impersonating the traitor myself.

Hope that clears everything up for both of you.

As for an impasse, Inzil, I would guess the real traitor would have a history of treacherous behavior to show for himself...
so what do you have?

Here is what I did and why.

Night 1 I didn't reveal to anyone. It would have been foolish; a total shot in the dark.

Day 1 I was the deciding vote on BG. I knew it would look bad, but being the final vote didn't concern me. I didn't much care if I was lynched for it. Her last few posts convinced me she was innocent.

Day 2 I voted for Wilmorph, which vexed me to no end because she was my least likely morph suspect. I really couldn't see her as a morph not taking advantage of such an excellent lynch opportunity. In hindsight, it was likely because she didn't want to be linked to Shasta that way.

I saw how Rikae had been throwing suspicion on Izzy. I thought those were interesting points, and I decided to make Izzy my first outreach. I thought if she turned out innocent maybe I could get her lynched.
Obviously, she was indeed innocent, and her attitude toward me on Day 3 changed accordingly.

#128: Actually, Wilwa's vote for Sally seems to make her look a bit worse toDay. Keeping away from the BG wagon when Wilwa knew she was already done for would have been a very smart move for a Wilwamorph.

#195: I still feel that your making a throwaway vote like you did looks worse than the BG voters. (in response to/about Wilwa.)

#202: The difference between yesterDay's voting and toDay's is that toDay Paranoia doesn't look nearly as bad as BG did. In the case of BG, it's difficult for me to see how anyone could have backed away from voting her under those circumstances without having some knowledge she was innocent.


Why didn't you simply say.. 'I suspect Wilwa and here is why:' Instead of making people search for it? Essentially your suspicions upon her were based on her Sally vote? Which you were planning on doing yourself. "Since I saw no chance of getting Sally lynched, I went ahead with BG."
If you were town, you would be wanting to vote your suspects.. not whoever had the highest potential of being lynched. Obviously you don't seem to be concerned about that - since you've been on both lynch wagons.. Your fur itching yet?

I copy/pasted my own for your benefit. Seems you missed it somehow. Care to answer?

Last two votes.. myself and Dun?. I was planning on voting for Dun. plgh.

She voted for Pitch. Now, I really thought Pitch was innocent. But I knew Izzy would be likely to vote for whoever I didn't, so I voted for Paranoia.

Shasta had been throwing out hints to me for quite a while. They were so open though, that I thought it might be a trap to A. Confirm his suspicions that I was indeed the Traitor. And B. Get me to waste one of my chances. Therefore, I didn't act to contact him until last Night, when process of elimination led me to the conclusion the final morph had to be him.

Look at his posts.

Ah, lying. Such an evil trait.

Wintywinty? What do you say you are?

I am the Android. My special power is that if I get lynched, the last person to vote for me dies.

You haven't properly revealed. As in you haven't been truthful.
