And some people find pickles extremely bad. Like Greenie (at least I seem to remember she didn't want to eat one so she gave it to me a few days ago). I think they're good though. So yes I think I get the hint. ![]() Quote:

However I also came to think it might be the cobbler's hint to the wolves: "Could you do something to help me identify you? Pretty please?" Quote:

Just in general, then. I agree with Wilwa a lot and disagree with Agan a lot. Old news? Ploughing on, then - Pitch's post made me chuckle aloud at my screen, but apart from summarising everyone else's more or less unfruitful contributions to the game it didn't really say much. Eomer looks pretty innocentish. My hunch would say the same about Shasta, but then again I've long ago lost count of the times a Shastawolf has fooled me completely and I have sworn never to trust him again.. ![]()

In Fea's case, impossible to tell. Because just when I have the fortitude to declare, yep this time she's an ordo who's just attempting to entertain and have some fun, she winds up a wolf. In your case, you are looking innocent in comparison to Fea's "I have no clue." Also, you clearly want to take the lead in this game, which makes me smile, because if innocent this is good news for us, if a wolf, I will catch you slip soon enough and you know it. ![]() My computer wants to go into update and run virus scan mode, it always starts up at around this time. It's going along very sluggishly, so for now will have to go into a sketchy, unlit corner, until it finishes. Edit: crossed with Pitch and Greenie

I'm not sure I'm convinced by that explanation - sorry, but I've become a little paranoid about that kind of over-obvious jokes; you can blame our resident expert on multiple bluffing (aka Nerwen) for that (*cough Yay!Go wolves! cough*). Quote:

![]() I usually like to adopt a role or two on day 1 if I'm an ordo. At times I keep making seerish comments (because it's better if the wolves think I'm the seer and attack me. It's actually quite funny that I should think so because I'm not a huge fan of gifteds) and sometimes it's nice to be the cobbler. I might get more serious when the game moves on, or I might not. I don't really know what kind of me is the most annoying to play with. ![]() Quote:

Anybody who consumes mate at this time of day must preparing for Nightly activities. Highly suspicious!
![]() For me, it's time to prepare for my rendezvous with the bedbugs, so... Kidding aside, Agan's posts apart from the early joke thing look fair enough - active and speaking her mind, as far as I can tell. Same for Greenie's later posts since her comeback. The only other person who has really stuck out for me toDay is Fea, and at the moment it looks like she'll get my vote. Never mind the cobbler-hint theory, but she's made three rather conspicuous posts which are so content-free and studiedly inscrutable that she might as well be a submarine; plus she elaborately explained her early posting (in reaction to Agan's 'suspicion', which didn't look very serious to me), which seems over-defensive. So that's my best bet for toDay: ++Fea Good Night.

![]() Anyway even though we've managed to avoid the quiet/loud discussion thus far, I'm going to throw in my two cents. This is a small village. It means it's going to be much quieter than in the bigger games. While it makes it easier to pay attention to everybody, it also means we run out of loud players faster. I seem to remember talking to some of you about why I don't like quiet players, but to recap: it's unfair to everybody. I've been innocent in a game where a quiet wolf led the wolves to victory because no one paid attention to them, but I've also been a wolf in a game where the seer who had barely 10 posts on day 4 outed half my pack, myself included. Not fun. Thus, in lack of a real suspect, I think I'm going to vote for either sally or EW. I'm too lazy to make a real list, but I'm going to keep an eye on our European males (Pitch, skip, Eomer, and yes I think you can count Greenie among them ![]() ![]() ++sally Sorry hun but I know I'm going to get frustrated later on if you top the post count with half your posts being jokes.

I'm not too worried about Fea at the moment (I'll start paying closer attention to her when she starts paying closer attention to the game, that is on day 2). I'm slightly concerned about skip and Eomer, but I'd rather wait and see (at least a few hours ![]() Tea-time!

Also, it's more than about time I went to bed (my alarm clock will go off in too few hours), so I'll vote ++ Fea Since I really don't suspect anyone more than I suspect everyone, I'm going after someone who has a) posted many times (including after the full banter-phase ended) and hardly any of it on topic or non-joking - I know what her views on the importance of Day 1s are but still b) a smug tone (yeah I know she always does) and c) confessed to being a wolf. Now I know it could well be just innocent Fea joking about what she did in Genevamoot, but it just struck me that while I'm not sure that particular joke would have occurred to an innocent Fea, I'm pretty sure it would have to a Feawolf. I'm not sure if I'm making sense, but regardless of that, I need to be off to bed now. Sweet dreams!

On day 1, he votes for EW who had made one post so far, saying the timing and phrasing of the post looked sinister. Quote:
His 124 is an analysis on day 1's voting, and he seems rather careful not to have too strong opinions on anybody. He semi-defends Greenie and flip-flops on Fea (questioning her lack of mentioning self-defense when she voted for EW). His conclusion is that wilwa and sally look more suspicious for defending EW. Quite understandable but I can but disagree with him - if they were wolves, would they really have tried to stop him getting lynched? Then there's some theoretical stuff about the EW lynch, and he attempts to explain some comments of his that didn't really make sense. He's been kind of sloppy with the stuff he says, anyway, being often quite ambiguous. I still don't know what he meant when he said he doesn't trust Eomer in any way. On day 2, he considers voting Pitch (to introduce a new candidate besides Lottie, wilwa and sally), wilwa or sally. He says I'm clearly evil but adds he isn't sure my role in this game is evil. That's a weird comment, it could be put down on flattery (he knows how I like being evil) but there's also something tentative about it, as if he was trying to drop a hint to me... Kind of acknowledging "I think you're evil but let's keep it a secret between the two of us". He jumps on Eomer's point about Lottie being quiet, pointing out that she's really different from the previous time he played with her. I might add that last (and only) time I played with Lottie she was all over the place and really confident - and she was a sheriff who could share her opinions with her fellow sheriff. Skip played in that game. I expect a player's ordo (or alone working gifted) behaviour to be the norm, and assume Lottie isn't so certain about people's roles in every game she plays... So it seems skip is accusing her of "being normal", if you know what I mean. Then he votes for wilwa, saying he feels bad about jumping on a bandwagon but wants to "trust his original impression". So, what was this original impression? And what the heck is this comment about? Quote:
Quote:
He adds it's much more important for the wolves not to kill the cobbler than it is for the villagers to find her. Trying to drop hints to the wolves again: "Hey it's important you guys don't kill me!"? He suggests there were no wolves in the wilwagon because it would've been convenient for the wolves just to sit back without getting their hands dirty. Nerwen, Greenie and skip himself voted for her. By then, his pattern of voting the same way as Greenie had already come into being. Also, he and Nerwen had had the short exchange about keeping the cobbler alive (see above). It's possible he thought he had hit both the remaining wolves... Because it really seems like a stretch to say the wolves would behave in a certain way in a certain situation. Way too simple. Okay, we already know Greenie was innocent, and I feel rather good about Nerwen too, but the way skip put forth his theory really looks like he had a hidden agenda. He analyses the votes that came after his vote for wilwa but doesn't reach any definite conclusions: everything could go either this way or that. He ends up following Greenie's example and votes for sally. Today he opposes lynching the cobbler. Yes, of course it's better if we catch a wolf, but even the cobbler is enough, and if we have a strong hunch about the cobbler, I think we should go for it (surprise anybody?). Quote:
Plus what he said to Nerwen. He looks like the cobbler who thinks he's found a wolf and tries to signal to her. Quote:
Quote:
I'm going to have a break now but will check in every now and then. I seriously consider voting for skip spence at this point, unless I get a better idea.

Interesting analysis, Agan. One of the best I've read in a while. Doesn't mean you're right or wrong, mind; I just enjoyed the style.
![]() My problem, which I've been struggling with for a couple of hours, is that I suspect Loslote more, but fully expect there to be more support for lynching Sally (I'm talking about my two main suspects here). Still, in my opinion, Loslote deserves to die. She made, to my mind, a vague gifted hint to make critics (skip & myself) back off - to back off from fairly legitimate questioning of her playing style, may I add. A style which seems to have changed since then (as the village has grown smaller and her role thus more prominent, I will concede). She obviously survived this gifted hint. She then made another vague gifted hint, saying that she was a thousand times more sure of my guilt than Aganzir's (that could be a paraphrase but those were basically the words). If she says that about any other villager, I'm voting for him/her, because that looks seerish to me. However, I'm in the privileged position of knowing that she is either making absurd claims about a blind guess, or actually lying. Because of the stakes, I think she's lying. That's why she gets my vote. But I do guess that Sally's the other wolf. ++LOSLOTE And now bedtime.

If Eomer is a wolf, why did Fea die instead of Lottie or sally? Especially Lottie has been pretty hard on him... And I imagine the wolves would like to get rid of a possible seer even if it incriminated one of them.
Votes: (Pitch - most likely no vote) Eomer - Lottie
