WW XC: Lord of the Rings 2: The Quest For More Money

[Eruhen]

Well, I was going to post an analysis of Bom and why I voted for him, but now that I look through his posting history, I'm not seeing anything that OOC (for Bom, at least ). So, it would appear that my vote yesterDay was a throw-away.

Not that it mattered, since it came after DL, but that's beside the point.

So, looks like I'm back where I started. I remember Bom posting in the last WW thread that the first three people to post are the wolves.

So, that makes G55, Foley, and... um... me. Hmmm. Didn't think that one through all that well. Back to the drawing board...

That's how the saying goes, as far as I know. Or, that one of the three first people is a wolf. But you shouldn't trust that - last game the first three people were innocents (I remember waiting on purpose before posting so that I won't be in the trio ).

About Bom: he does have his own way of posting that people are prone to pick on. Last game people jumped on innocent him for one post because of that style. He's an easy lynch target because of that. However, if he's a wolf, he's a dangerous one, as it's often hard to tell when he's really serious (if ever). So far, even ignoring his "jokes", he looks quite suspicious to me.

That... is a very strange way to look at it. I am myself puzzled by Bom's behaviour yesterDay, which doesn't really make sense for a wolf– but all the same, newbie wolves can do some weird things, and he was surely the single most suspicious-looking person yesterDay. I suppose you could say, based on his other two games, that it's not OOC for him to act suspicious– but that's not saying much, is it? Anyway, the real point is: did you have a reason for voting him, or didn't you? You almost seem to be saying both things here.

Believe it or not, Eruhen, this is an actual piece of WW lore. Make of that what you will.

EDIT:X'd with G55.

YesterDay, I was mainly using my vote to try to protect Boro. I should have voted for Glirdy, but I was frazzled after a long afternoon out with my 18-month-old daughter, Bom had ticked me off for some reason, and time was running out. So, I picked him.

But toDay, after looking through his posting history on this game and the other two he's been a part of, I see that most to all of what he posted yesterDay was in character for him. I'm holding off judgement for now and watching to see how things go.

So, short and sweet: I thought I had a reason yesterDay, but, on reflection, I'm not so sure anymore. He's still red-tinted on my list, but he's not in the red. Orange, maybe. Or maybe burnt sienna.

But– "for some reason"? Did you suspect him at the time?

[Eruhen]

Yes, I did. I thought that some of his earlier posts were rather Wolf-ish, but like I've said, after re-reading the thread and the other WW games he was in, I see that he's just being Bom.

Things like this (post 11):

. . . You know I was actually happy to be in this movie? But now I've half a mind to go postal on the lot of you! Killers and innocents alike, all dead . . . except for me of course. *sits a moment in utter glee*

and this (post 45):

. . . Yet another victory for the inability to distinguish jokes made over the internet! Yay!

. . .

That's actually made me more suspicious, by the way. A wolf would be more watchful for potential accusations against himself, would he not?

...stuck out at me.

Or to save a desparate wolf, mind.

Whatever.

I see where you're comming from, and I also see why Nerwen is so suspicious. The posts you quote are not exactly "normal", true. However, would you write any such a thing as a wolf? Would you point on your wolvishness so obviously?

It is strange to me that you chose two posts that don't scream anything except for "Bom's weirdness" to me. I find his other posts more suspicious.

You said that "he's just being Bom". Yet is is also possible that he's just being a Bomwolf. What say thou?

Anyways, I want to hear from Bom - what does he think about all this, and what does he have to say in answer.

[Eruhen]

Oh, I'm still suspicious of him. Just not enough to be willing to vote for him. Yet.

I think, however, I'm going to bow out for a couple hours and let other people talk. For a Saturday, it's been awful quiet. It's been mostly G55, Nerwen, Shasta, and me.

Where is everyone? We don't want a repeat of yesterDay, do we?

edit: It was a throwaway mainly because I wasn't thinking when I made it. If I'd been smart and keep Boro around for another day, I wouldn't have voted for Bom to make a three-way tie; I'd have voted for Glirdy. RL got in the way of WW. That's not going to happen toDay, though.

Talk, people!

Actually, I'd say Bom's too new to have a fully-established style yet– for which reason I'm trying not to read too much of the fact that, in my opinion, he's playing differently from the way he did in his first two games. It's the kind of bouncy quality I've quite often seen in first time wolves– on the other hand, you'd think even an inexperienced wolf would know better than to point out "gifteds" on the thread– that's more of a cobbler's stunt. (Got Boro to reveal, though.)

Anyway I still don't understand why you're calling your vote a "throwaway", Eruhen. I mean, it basically was one, actually, but for a completely different reasons– i.e. that it was so unlikely to be effective.

EDIT:X'd with G55.
