It has been quiet today. Considering what happened last night, I figured more people would be eager to post something. I got out of bed particularly early just to see what was going on.

How are we certain that Nerwen isn't a wolf? She was really at Nogrod's throat yesterday. But, then, a wolf probably would not make such a fuss against anybody because of the suspicion possibly placed on them later. A clever wolf might, and might be able to get away with it.

I wish Greenie were not gone. I'd like to know why she suspects Mac. He said this in post 620:

Quote:
I'm getting uneasy about Wilwa, but I can't put my finger on why. I need to take a closer look at what she said when I get to it. Same with Inzil. And Nienna.
He expressed his concern again, later in thread, in post 632, when he lists out all the players to say who he suspects and the ones he suspects most are Wilwa and Inzil.

I'm going back to bed.

Yeah, because he was acting very suspiciously. I wasn't the only one to think so.

That doesn't really prove anything, and besides, she's already said why she suspects Mac:

Partly because of the Hades thing that was discussed quite much on Day 2. And partly because I got the impression, when reading over yesterDay with the knowledge that Rikae is a wolf, that her sudden suspicion of him (after defending him for the first couple of Days) seemed wolf-on-wolf-ish.

Okay, so let's recap yesterDay Evening.

Sally suggests that Hestia comes out and we test one of his/her dreams (with a more specific suggestion being the lynching of Nog). No one likes Sally's plan.

Apollo (Tum) is forced to come out at the end of the Day to save herself.

Nog is lynched to save Tum (and in a way to test her legitimacy).

Nog's role matches the role Tum was shown.

Tum is proven to be our true seer, and is now in danger because she had to come out.


Notice the bit where we followed my plan, except pretty much backward? Yeah, I'm just sayin'.

Also, I want to know why Nog had such a problem being lynched if he was the Unicorn. This was the best point for him to get lynched; the odds of him bringing someone back were the highest they possibly could be. (I know, he didn't get to come back, but I mean to say that any point after this his chances would have gone down.) Add that to his inability to participate *squishes* and I don't see the issue. Meh.

Oh, did I mention? MY PLAN WAS FLIPPING BRILLIANT AND WOULD HAVE SAVED OUR SEER! *chills* I'm. Just. Sayin'. *snuggles Tum tightly, hopes the rangers love her enough to protect her properly and LISTEN TO ME for a change* Okay, I'm done here.

I have to go to church in a bit, and then I'll be with Phantom and Tum all day, but I'll see what I can do about looking into people a bit more. I've been really bad at concentration this game, hence more commentary and plotting than analyses.

Oh yeah, because the seer is in so much danger with two rangers about.


Just wanted to apologize, people. Everything that's gone wrong has been my fault, from picking the wrong kills to getting myself dreamed of. I really have no idea why people consider me such a formidable player; I'm just an idiot.

Morning all. Firstly I'd like to give kudos to our Eros/Artemis duo, a successful save and a wolf-kill, a very impressive record indeed.
Secondly, [Reallife] I am out at a wedding and won't be around much at all [/Reallife]

Luckily there's very little debate about who to vote for which is handy.
++Rikae

Just in case I don't get back on toDay.

Also, I don't have time to analyse wilwa today, I'm glad Nerwen is but perhaps someone else can do it too - no offence Nerwen but its good to get two perspectives when we don't know who to trust. That might give us some ideas for toMorrow.
Also, Tum will have had another dream so more may be revealed later today I expect.
One thing I did have time to do yesterday is try to make sense of Day 3 voting.
Nog --> Lottie
Greenie --> Nog
Lal --> Lottie
Zil --> Tum
Wilwa --> Tum
Mira --> Phantom
Mac --> Lottie (3)
Rikae --> Tum
Nienna --> Tum (4)
Tum --> Rikae
Sally --> Nog (2)
Lottie --> Nog (3)
Phantom --> Nog (4)
Folwren ---> Lottie (4)
Nerwen ----> Nog (5)

Really going now. Back later.

Wilwa, Day Two.

408. We shouldn't take too much notice of what Boro-Hermes said, as he might be false. "Speculates" on why he was killed. (Wolves enjoy doing that, sometimes.) Doesn't get the "Hades-hints" that some players saw in Mac's posts. Doesn't like reasoning in Steve's self-defence; favours lynching him. Says the "Cobbler" reference in the Hestia role-description is just a mistake by Glirdy. Now agrees with Nog that my "Hades" comment could have been a hint.


#436. Suspicion-list. Lalaith, Kath, Rikae and I look good. Tum, Nienna, Zil, Lottie, Mira and Shasta are under her radar. Is "confused" about Sally, phantom, Folwren, Greenie, Nog and Eonwe. Might vote for the last-named.

Comment: Generally, wolves distribute their fellows amongst the categories; this is a minor argument against Lalaith and Kath being wolves.


#439. Left Mac off list; corrects this and says he should be in her "okay" category, because she doesn't thinking he was hinting. Tells tum BG's "good looks" remark is probably a hint.

#445. Tells the phantom that, contrary to his belief (#443) she did not say he was "touchy". Tells tum again about the Aphrodite hint.


#456. Votes Eonwe.

General Comments:Still not that much to go on; link to Mac possible, though. So far, Wilwa seems to have been careful to leave a small trail. I wonder what tipped Lottie off?

EDIT:X'd with Sally, Lal and Sally again; added comment.

Well, Greenie and I both think he was trying to get lynched, and that's why he was acting so weird. I know he kicked and screamed a lot on the way to the gallows, but maybe he thought that was called for.

All right, yes, you win. Only may I point out that tum would have been forced to reveal regardless of whether we'd agreed to your plan or not?

EDIT:X'd with Zil.

You have a point. It would make a lot more sense, and definitely explain why he was being so....yeah, not Nog. Makes sense to me.

Flippin' right I do.

Erm, how so? If Hestia came out yesterDay we'd likely have concentrated on what he/she said rather than this Tum wagon. (And might I say, I understand her weirdness now. First time gifteds can be uber-twitchy.) Then again, I can't predict what people would have done, but I think we'd still have not had such a wagon against her yesterDay if she hadn't been a huge topic of discussion. *shrugs*

Well, maybe not– but we did still have to lynch somebody, didn't we?

True, but it might not have been Tum. Really, I just think it's hilarious that we followed my plan except not the way I said and it ended rather poorly. (Then again, Nog would have still been dead and you're right to say that Tum may have still had to come out, but I'd rather have had Hestia out and about than Tum being forced to reveal.)

Oh, and I really felt like being a brat this morning.

Has anyone posted a complete voting break-down (every single day in one post)? That would be super.

And I see old Mac is dead. See? I was right about him too. Hey, I realize I'm not setting the world on fire this game, but I have at least correctly called BG, Steve, Lottie, and Mac. That earns me some points, right?

I don't like Folwren as much any more. I thought it was possible that she was a Seer actually because of some things she said Day 1 and 2, and now I wonder if she was paving for a false reveal.

And Meeper- I still think she's insane, but probably innocent.

Kath- she looks pretty good. Nothing to do with being a Wolf, of course, but just thought I'd mention it.

Here you are, the dead included.

Day 1:

Folwren--> Steve
Greenie--> Mac
Kath--> BG
Lalaith--> Boro
Inzil--> BG
Nienna--> Steve
Sally--> BG
Nog--> Nerwen
Wilwa--> BG
Mira--> BG
Rikae--> tp
Mac--> Nerwen
BG--> Inzil
Shasta--> Steve
Lottie--> Steve
Tum--> BG
tp--> Steve
Boro--> Steve
Steve--> BG
Nerwen--> Nog

Result: BG (Aphrodite) lynched.

Day 2:

Greenie--> Mac
Shasta--> Nog
Kath--> Nog
Lalaith--> Steve
Nog--> Steve
Lottie--> Steve
Nienna--> Steve
Inzil--> Steve
Rikae--> Rikae
Lottie--> Nog
Tum--> Nog
tp--> Steve
Mac--> Steve
Steve--> Nog
Nerwen--> Steve

Result: Steve (ordo) lynched.

Day 3:

Nog--> Lottie
Greenie--> Nog
Lalaith--> Lottie
Inzil--> Tum
Wilwa--> Tum
Mira--> tp
Mac--> Lottie
Rikae--> Tum
Nienna--> Tum
Tum--> Rikae (at this point, Tum revealed as a Seer who dreamed Rikae.
Sally--> Nog
Lottie--> Nog
tp--> Nog
Folwren--> Lottie
Nerwen--> Nog

Result: Nog (Unicorn) lynched.

What I don't get about Day 3 is this: Couldn't Tum's legitimacy have easily been checked by voting for Rikae then? I don't understand why you all went for Nog anyway. No time for further. Off to bed for me.

x/d with Nerwen, but I went to all that trouble and I'm posting it anyway!

Well, done, Artemis! You did your task well. I wonder what Zeus will decide to do? Getting a Seer dream would be the most productive, especially since he's now on the side of the village. That is, of course, unless he's bloody sure of another wolf.

Lottie does seem like an odd choice. She had garnered a fair amount of suspicion on her own, and could well have been yesterDay lynch. I wonder if she may have said something that made them exceptionally nervous yesterDay.

Which, in turn, would make autume the real seer, which, in turn, would confirm Rikae as a wolf, which, in turn, would mean we'll have two wolves dead after toDay. (An addition: we also have two seers who both know whether they are true or false.) I kind of like all that. On the down side, though, even after Rikae we still have two wolves (Hades and Hephaestus) to find.
I don't think there's any question Tum is one of the real Seers. Nog's death proved it for me. And the fact that she's the real one ought to be a good clue to Hestia: DON't leave us any clues about your dreams if you picked Boro.
And two wolves are not good, but they're better than four, at least.

Partly because of the Hades thing that was discussed quite much on Day 2. And partly because I got the impression, when reading over yesterDay with the knowledge that Rikae is a wolf, that her sudden suspicion of him (after defending him for the first couple of Days) seemed wolf-on-wolf-ish. (I'll try to bring up actual quotes soon, I have a horribly busy day but I'll try anyway.)
It's certainly possible. Rikae is both nervy and experienced enough to do some convincing wolf-on-wolf. I don't know about Mac though. My wariness about him has gradually been diminishing over the last Day or two, but he does need some scrutiny.

I think Nog was trying to get lynched just so he could bring any innocent back. If any one had come back, they'd have done so as an ordo, wouldn't they? And there was a 2/3 chance he would have been successful and brought back either BG or Steve. Three known innocents running around would have been such a headache for the wolves.

It is very quiet, considering all the drama. I'm waiting for what Tum can tell us toDay about her latest dream. Let's just hope it wasn't Lottie or Wilwa. Also, Tum should have had one more dream in addition to Nog and Rikae, I think.

x/d with all since # 874

He just posted on the Admin thread that he's dropping out. He says he's one the Shirrifs, Hercules.

Trying to look at possible links of people with Rikae, I thought this was interesting.

She's a wolf. Why would she care about Nienna's death, unless the latter is a packmate? It couldn't mean Nienna is her lover, either, since Tum has already told us Rikae is Ares.

29 – Mostly banter, doesn’t think much of Boro’s Zeus comment
32 – Jokes at being a wolf
69 – First post of content, explains to Foley that we don’t always need to be serious to be useful, mentions how another role will be revealed when Poseidon comes back
76 – explanation and call for Mod-god interference about lovers and their goals
80 – She mentions that the false seer can lead the village astray with false information and that that is worse than baddies being able to narrow down their potential-seer list
82 – Mentions lovers or anyone trying to save wolves can happen especially in a game like this. Also reiterates how moot the point about Romeo-Juliet lovers is concerning what happens when a partner dies
83 – Both seers are probably leaving trails
88 – Admits that she may misread seer/false seer hints
90Nerwen’s “Hades” comment could be leaving hints at Persephone but could just as easily be something else
100 – Converses with Phantom about his lovers talk, mentions how his way can create a suspect where there may actually be no grounds as people’s playing styles vary so much
104 – Mentions how there isn’t generally any reason for the false seer to keep quiet though maybe there is in some circumstances
108 – Thinks Nog’s idea about Seers revealing is interesting but that if there is a false reveal it may tie up a ranger
111 – Says it’s up to individuals to play as they want to. The wolves also get the same information that the village gets and there is no reason to suppose they will miss seer-hints
121 – Didn’t think that Nerwen was trying to get Persephone to pick her and that maybe Mac was trying to confuse Persephone into picking her
128 – Mentions that joking banter may contain hints too Interesting with her own joking banter which could be wolvish – see later as well
133 – Mentions that Steve joking about Dionysus could just be him having too much to drink
137 – Is most suspicious of those seeing hints everywhere than those supposedly leaving hints
142 – Didn’t know Steve’s age and thinks we can just lynch the cursed after they are turned
145 – If Steve is the cursed then he helped the village without knowing it because the wolves wouldn’t pick him now anyway
158 – On Boro’s Zeus-hints: Phantom started it, and Lal kept it going – wonders about Phantom’s intentions in that were
179 – “allied to Zeus” could mean wolf’s lover but she doesn’t think that’s what Boro meant
194 – Doesn’t think that Mac is a lover just because he was suspicious of Boro being a lover
198 – Thinks because the narration will say when the cursed is turned there is no reason to lynch Steve now. Doesn’t want to vote BG because she hasn’t really shown she’s a wolf but she may vote for her because of not participating. Other suspects include Nerwen (though she thinks her suspicion might be based on IC banter and nothing else), Phantom but he hasn’t explained himself and it would be a throwaway, and Wilwa for trying to stir up suspicion about Boro but still keeping her hands clean (also thinks that would be a throwaway)
213 – Admits it must be frustrating for BG but says she has to participate more or why bother. Won’t vote BG (too harsh) or Steve (hasn’t had time to explain himself). Votes Phantom because it should happen more on Day Ones. This doesn’t actually bother me at all… she suspected Phantom a little bit and it seems like as reasonable for a Day One vote as any other
223 – Says she always defends Mac even when they aren’t on the same side

Day 2

334 – Thinks Boro must have coupled his Seer-hints with correct suspicion (accidental or not) as he was killed. Boro also could have coupled Seer and Hunter hints so maybe he didn’t point to a baddie at all and the wolves called his bluff… or he could be the false seer
336 – Mentions it’s weird that Nerwen argued her and Mac weren’t wolf-on-wolf when that’s not even what Nog said
345 – Torn about Mac’s wording about “frustrating to be alone”… chalks it up to second language
350 – Says she knows what Phantom is up to and is more concerned about Nerwen. Doesn’t like people picking on her “sweetie” so much, calls him sweetie again in an edit to the post interesting use of pet names which as I’ve mentioned I don’t believe I’ve seen before…maybe her being playful, maybe not
352 – Now wondering where all the Steve-is-not-the-cursed stuff is coming from, leaning toward Phantom being Zeus and that being what Boro dreamed
354 – Still thinks Phantom is Zeus but not that he should be lynched, it’s debatable anyway
378 – After re-reading Mac’s “frustrating” comment she is pretty sure it is because of English being his second language
412 – Explains that Nerwen was probably talking about Hades the place not the person
467 – Wants to look at the Inzil/Tum stuff and Tum’s voting of BG after finding her innocent
474 – Doesn’t buy Tum being a wolf, doesn’t buy Mac being a wolf, doesn’t buy Steve being a wolf. Votes herself saying that she is the “wolviest wolf that ever howled at the moon” This is the second time she joked at being a wolf and on Day Two when voting matters a little more
485 – More fake (?) lover banter with Mac
526 – Doesn’t like the last minute scrambling for a random lynch candidate
529 – Thinks Mac is behind the lynch-someone-not-Steve business so now she wonders if maybe it would be wise to lynch him

Day 3

593 – Has some problems with Lottie’s Tum-analysis, doesn’t think Sally’s Hestia plan is best, she doesn’t approve of bandwagons
602 – Doesn’t want to get lynched with chat-speak
608 – Sadly doesn’t have any assassination power

Conclusions: Generally she has been very helpful and even reprimanding to the village where it is needed. She's been logical and consistent. The only thing that worries me a tiny bit is her joking about being a wolf. I don’t think she is a wolf but it is interesting. She is also very flippant about her own lynching which leads me to think that maybe she doesn’t have one of the more important roles... maybe a lover (with all the lover banter) which could mean she can have assassination powers later.
I find it notable that at the end she writes a glowing summary of how good Rikae is, but leaves that very small bit of doubt based around Rikae's joking declarations of lupinity. Did anyone who's innocent really take Rikae seriously there? She says things like that all the time! It seems a strange thing for someone to choose as a reason to be wary of Rikae. More like a packmate saying "Hmm. I don't need to be totally in favour of Rikae, so I'd better put an inconsequential reason as to why I don't completely trust her". And the bit about Rikae possibly being a lover? Could that have been intended to dissuade the Seer from dreaming her? "Doesn't have one of the more important roles"?

Ok so of course all the interesting stuff happened right after I went to bed yesterDay . Anyway... I'm glad we are going to be two wolves down after toDay and know another role with Tum's dreams... or at least wolf v. non-wolf as if I was Tum I'd be hesitant to give out actual roles unless it is necessary for us to know.

Alive:
Kath
Mira
Zil
Nienna
Nerwen
Folwren
Tum - Seer
Lalaith
Greenie
Rikae - Wolf
Shasta
Phantom
Sally

Roles left:
Zeus
Hestia - Seer (real or false)
Hades – wolf-lover
Persephone – lover of Hades
Demeter
Hebe - other sheriff
Apollo - Tum
Ares – Rikae
Hephaestus – wolf
Pan - Ranger
Dionysus - cursed
Eros - Ranger-like
Athena - goddess of Wisdom

So there are two wolves left... and one innocent (Persephone) who wants the wolves to win (but only with Hades as the remaining wolf) so that she can win too. Basically there are those 3/12 (unless the cursed is playing cobbler-like) (or 4/13 if we count Rikae) that don't really have the village's best interest at heart.

Edit: x-ed with lots

Now you're grasping at straws. I picked out the stuff I thought could mean that Rikae is a wolf though I didn't think it likely (I know now that I was wrong ) ... if you'll note in the analysis I did of you as well I picked out the weird things you said that could point to your wolf-dom as well.

Well, there goes that theory. So Wilwa's Day One and Two posts have pointed exactly nowhere.

As interim Mod until Glirdan returns, I've been told to deliver yet another message. Zeus has decided to strike down...Tum. The seer, Apollo has immediately been kicked off from Mount Olympus. Tum, you're dead, no more posting for you.

Carry on you rabble rousers.
