But to kill him solely because he's the Seer - man, the wolves have to be sharp - which doesn't make it impossible, only less probable.

Now that's really misquoting me! I said that Pitch had good reasoning for his vote for Nog, but I disliked his suspicion on Kath. I didn't like his perspective on Kath, but I thought he explained his vote alright. It’s not like you either completely like someone’s behaviour or completely dislike it; you could like a part of it and dislike another part.

I think Agan was referring to herself when she said “hypocritical”; she called out Kath for bringing up the cobbler, but admitted that she does it herself when she plays in a game with a cobbler, which makes her hypocritical.

In case we had chances on D4 (like ranger made a succesful save one Night) then I think it is essential we look at everyone as thoroughly as we can because that lynch decides whether the game continues or whether we lose. So any "let's lynch the influential people" default-setting is basically dangerous rather than helpful.
Nog, you say Pitch misquoted your "40 posts" phrase, but you're doing the same to Menel's "three Days". It's not a default setting; it's a number out of the air pretty much. It's there to get the idea across, as an example. I don't like it that that is what you find suspicious.

The way you flip-flop about him, too – you defend him in one post, but then list a number of reasons (f.ex. #74) for why you could suspect him, and back and forth.

That's quite close. Mostly Day 2, though. Wanna continue the pattern?



PITCH SUSPICION - well, it kind of just flew up right after Pitch's vote. And then people started voting for him one after the other. What alerts me is that Nog was the second last (crossed with third last and last) person to vote, though he flew at Pitch the moment he (ie Pitch) wrote his pre-vote suspicion on him.

There's not much to be gained by analysing it this way, I see.

What I would like to say, though, is that I would put my money on Menelbeing Inzil's dream. In post #55

He clearly concentrates on Menel here.

Meanwhile, Nog doesn't look all that good. If anything, he's topping my list of suspects toDay.

Now this is interesting. My reading of that quote from Inzil makes me think that it's G55 that Inzil is concentrating on here, not Menel. I would say this is more adding suspicion to G55 than trying to make Menel look innocent.

I will go do the ubiquitous Inzil analysis. The more eyes on his posts the better with all this talk of misrepresenting words going on!

Post 1:
I can't see anything in this that would suggest Seer. Given the current furore over G55's use of 'savage' - if we're picking at everything - Inzil says it here.

Post 2:
Apart from that sentence: 'meh, I don't see that' in response to Pitch again clues are well hidden if they're there. Does appear to be defending Menel, or at least trying to lessen or dampen suspicious of him. Also deflecting suspicion from Pitch arising as a result of his (Inzil's) disagreement with him over Menel.

Post 3:
Menel has merited a comment for his words, but more than one person homing in on it at once puts one in mind of a pack of salivating beasts eyeing some raw meat.
Menel could be seen as suspicious but the people bandwaggoning him are much more suspicious. Is my reading of that. Suggesting perhaps not having dreamed Menel. He has merited a comment - if you are the Seer and you've dreamed of an innocent and you're trying to leave clues, this isn't enough to later use as evidence.

G55, Pitch and to a degree Agan were the people who had so far had something to say against Menel. Less so Agan, as she wrote that he could be 'either' and that she was waiting to make her mind up about him.

Post 4:
The above being said, Inzil is ignoring the stating the obvious from Menel. Or actually agreeing with it. That is quite a definitive support for Menel there.

(Aside: long Pitch list post here. Backtracks on Menel suspicion. Only says about G55 that she has made a content free first post. Then notes this was written before she added suspicion on Menel. Doesn't then follow this up with anything within this post about G55, but does suspect Nog as a result of his catch up with the thread. This strikes me as off. If G55 is a wolf I think Pitch could be a wolf buddy.)

Post 5:
Thinks Pitch voted suddenly for Nog and occasionally wonders about Pitch. States that he is bothered by G55 and will likely vote for her. Looks like there's some suspicion of Shasta for acting as though he is trying to get others to bandwagon Inzil.

Post 6:
I guess I can see Pitch's point on Nog, and it's tempting to follow Pitch's lead there.
This sentence makes me less suspicious of Pitch as it might suggest Inzil had dreamed of Pitch and therefore his lead wouldn't be a negative one. However, as an innocent doesn't actually 'know' anything I think this would be a misleading clue for the Seer to lead if he had dreamed of Pitch.

The next sentence:
However, I think that in the totality of circumstance, G55 looks worse.
This is stronger. May be more likely to be the dream.

My G55/Pitch theory is put in jeopardy by that vote of G55's for Pitch. It's very bold wolf on wolf if it is that!

(Aside: Ps. a message for Lommy who I know will appreciate it: you haven't seen before how looks the trumpet! <-- This was our favourite line!!)

If the dream choices are Menel and G55 I'm not sure I've really answered the question of which is more likely. Feels like G55, and the suspicion there was consistent.

Well, I know that Inzil couldn't have dreamt me, because then he wouldn't have voted me. But to explain my point about the quote, he dismisses his first suspicion on me as a perhaps, maybe not. But the second one, concerning Menel, is what turns the tide.

Except that Pitch is a dead ordo.



I'm not feeling very well at the moment (or, rather, am feeling very unwell), so I don't think I can participate toDay as much as I would have liked to. I'll be around, but not as much as I would have liked.



EDIT: to add to my first point, if Inzil wanted to hint at my being evil, he would not have dismissed the first point so lightly. Instead, he puts emphasis on me questioning Menel - and votes me because of that, not because of the she-cobbler case or whatever else.

The strongest there was seems to be his concern on behalf of Menel - like these (two different times): So he at least was concerned about the suspicions on Menel which could indicate towards Menel being dreamt of innocent (it might be a decent seer pick as he probably hasn't ever played with Menel before). It could, but does it? Dunno.
I am not really sure if this isn't a bit stretched. What Inzil said about Menel does not sound very strong to me (at least what you quote - but I have to reread it myself to see what he said otherwise). But again, for sure, a Seer should leave hints (as certainly he would know) - but possibly on Day 1 they do not need to be so strong. If he dreamed of an innocent, he could have just listed that person among the bunch of random people he trusts. If he dreamed of a Wolf, then he might have voiced a mild suspicion.

I think I'll reread his posts myself to see what I can make of it. Also, there is still the question whether it was "random", or whether it was because the WWs actually spotted some Seerishness. In any case, it is clear that the WWs do want to kill the Seer, but then again, on first Night... I mean, that would have to be really good spotting on their part.

That would be strongly said, like a seer might do it. And Zil went to vote G55.
I think this, however, is certainly stretched.

Basically, from what was said this far, I am somewhat worried about toDay depending a lot on G55 being a Wolf. G55 is acting very "hedgehogishly" (defensively), and I think she could act like that if she is a Wolf under such suspicion - but there is truth to that it would be a great frame-up too, seeing she was the second runner.

With my - and the wolves' - knowledge (ie that I am innocent), yesterDay was a field day for the wolves. They had two innocent bandwagons to choose from.
(...)
When looking at the tally objectively, I'd suspect myself as well, except that fortunately I'm not schizophrenic. It's really hard to analyse, because both bandwagons were against innocents.
Okay, those are sounding more like Wolfish - especially the first one insisting, basically, that the single reason of Inzil's death was to lay a false trail. First, I doubt the WWs would have had just that as a motive; and most of all, if the reason was to just frame up G55, why Inzil, then? I mean, is there any logical connection between those? If you eliminate the Seer-reason, then why Inzil and not somebody else? You know what I mean?

However, there is some stuff G55 says which makes it sound genuine, and which also a desperate innocent could say, like this reaction to Shasta:

And I don't think the "savage" quote has much of a merit either. After all, people usually *do* say something when a Seer dies. Of course it can be faked, but I certainly don't think a Wolf would intentionally say such a thing in the sense of "mwahaha, that was soo savage! Did you see? I love blood!" - or whichever way it was that sally meant it.

Quote:

This however again does ring my bells - because it looks a bit like turning suspicion to somebody else in the village.

(...)

My G55/Pitch theory is put in jeopardy by that vote of G55's for Pitch. It's very bold wolf on wolf if it is that!
Wait, I don't get it... isn't Pitch dead and innocent???

Altogether, major observations: I am not sure what to make of Nog today, his activity in looking for clues about Inzil's death is sort of mingled with some rather confusing conclusions and most of all, certain "suggestive behavior", it seems to me. Nerwen comes and has some sharp points which look genuine. I am not sure about G55. Of course, if Nog is a Wolf, then yesterDay might have been a really tight escepe from the noose based on a fellow-save (and the same goes if Sally was the Wolf, or even if both of them were, since they crossposted), but then again, one could ask, if G55 is under suspicion (but then again, Day 1 suspicions might not mean much), would it be worth it for the WWs to save her one Night and still having her threatened (possibly even more) the next Day?

I will check on Zil's posts and be around...

EDIT: x-ed with G55.

You'd act hedgehogishly too you it was your name instead of mine in yesterDay's tally.

(I'm doing it again, aren't I?)

Truth be told, when I look at my posts from the side, I see exactly what you mean. I guess I'm too frustrated with the village and my own inability to prove my innocence in a way other that by dying.

But it has happened before, especially with the first kill. In my past games more often that not the first kill was either a trailless one, one with a very confusing trail (eg someone who suspects half the village), or one who suspects an innocent. By killing the last kind of person, the wolves leave the village with the choice: to dismiss it as a fake-trail kill, or to analyse it based on the wolves thinking that person was the Seer - and since the village can't just throw the second option out they follow the false lead. (meaning that if A suspected B and was killed, possibly for Seer reasons, it would make sense that B could be a wolf).

Just why am I explaining all this? You know it already. The wolves could have a misleading trail as the chief motive.

I doubt that framing me in particular was the main motivation, but it's the easiest to do. You just have to look at the tally to suspect me already. Inzil was the first to vote me. But even so, voting me was probably a bonus to it - once again, I'm not that special that the wolves want to frame me that badly. They just want to frame an innocent. And Inzil very conveniently suspected me, ie an innocent. He's the person A from the above scenario.

Bussing is what it looks like. On the other hand, maybe that's why it's something else. But if I had to say just based on those few posts, I'd say bussing.

Galadriel's posts today are pretty fishy. Just saying.

Next up: replying to stuff from late yesterDay. There really haven't been too many posts in this game...

More like, it's how I think but normally I don't phrase stuff so bluntly.

If Galadriel is a wolf, then Sally's vote is also worth raising eyebrows at, not only Nog's.

I'm not going to be around much today as I have a lot of real life things to do.

As such, I agree on G55; she does grasp at straws for suspicions and the voting pattern for yesterday is suspicious and implicates Sally as well.

For sure, and like I have noted already before, they actually cross-posted at that point - so theoretically, it could even be possible for them to both be Wolves. But that is a lot of speculation already, and it all comes back to G55's role anyway.

So yes, they framed me, but not to frame me specifically, just to frame an innocent.

Is this clearer?
Not very much. I get the general concept - that much is clear to me. But now it seems you are actually saying something different again. So what you are saying now is: the WWs wanted to frame any innocent, so they killed Zil. Not because they would think he was the Seer, but to frame any innocent. And because you were suspected by him, it is you who is being framed? Do I understand it right?

Yes and no, but basically yes. They saw the opportunity for a good kill - Inzil, who was not very outspoken in his opinions other than being bothered (multiple times) by me. Any kill the wolves make has a potential aim for a gifted (usually the Seer), so it would be natural to suspect the person who the killed person suspected - maybe the wolves thought Zil was a Seer who dreamed of Galwolf - regardless of whether he actually turns out to be Seer or not. So the wolves used this as an opportunity to frame me (and they would know that my position is already shaky based on the vote tally, so with this additional point against me they would be able to nicely lynch me toDay - and who could blame them, right?).

Whenever there's a kill, s/he's analysed for possible Seerness even if s/he isn't a Seer. Again, what I was saying to Legate in one of the previous posts - even if a kill looks like it has been made as a no-trace or a misleading-trace kill, there's always that possibility that thw wolves saw giftedness in that person. So that person's posts are always scrunitized for possible phrases the wolves could haveinterpreted as clues - regardless of the role of the dead person.

And again, framing me is convenient because I was already suspicious "just because", the vote tally spoke against my innocence, and it's just easy to lynch me. But the main reason still remains that I'm "just any inocent".

A List because I can't seem to be able to think otherwise

Innocentish

Menel - for toDay, because he seems the most likely seer dream. Although, like I said, it's also pretty likely Zil's dream was someone he could not really comment on since they had not contirbuted that far, which would suck.

Kath - I hate to give people the benefit of doubt because they are confused, but that kind of makes sense at this phase of the game where you have to narrow down the options, not reconsider everything.


Under Rudolph

Shasta and Nerwen - both their normal sneaky selves, I keep overlooking them for some unknown reason. Thy are elusive.

Sally - if Gal is a wolf, then she's suspicious, though.

Legate - yeah. Whoever said loud people are easier to read was obviously wrong.


Suspiciousish

Glirdan - mild bad vibes.

Galadriel - pretty fishy. But she's totally right about herself taking all the attention and that being very harmful if she's not a wolf herself.

Nogrod - awfully quick to throw Galadriel to the lynch block, which could make sense regardless of her role if he was a wolf himself. Just btw I didn't like Nerwen's "others, discuss this while I sit back and relax" comment, makes me suspect something fishy between Nerwie and Noggie actually.

Aganzir - she's enjoying herself too much to be completely innocent.


...that's all? Sick. I have a bad feeling this game will be a massacre unless someone else's brain works considerably better than mine which seems to be in a totally off-ww mode.


edit: xed with Sally and Gal

All of this is being typed as I am bombarded by a dude on either side of me loudly reading books at me, so please forgive any fragmented thoughts. I’m trying.

Choose well.
Um, so....someone else has mentioned this, right? I could see “totality of circumstance” as some sort of bizarre seer hint (or not so bizarre, I suppose) that he thinks Nog is acting suspicious, but knows he is not guilty. Obviously Nog could still be the cobbler, or he could have dreamed Gal as a wolf instead (see below), or this could not even be a thing, but I feel the need to bring it up because....totality of circumstance just seems like a strange phrase to me.

I speak of this below, but I know of few players who would willingly help Fenris one of their own, especially given that Gal wasn’t too far in the lead yesterDay when votes started rolling in. (And yes, this does make me look far from the best, but it’s my opinion, and I don’t fear expressing it, because it’s true, so nyah.)

It would in fact make us (Nog and myself) look quite bad, but as I know Galadriel and I are not packmates, there’s nothing I can do about it. But yeah, my vote was in a very suspicious place. Meh. It happens.

-knowing that I wouldn't last anyways, and they could be placed under suspicion for that, would the mates risk saving me? It would be better for them to bus me, unless they are darned nice mates.
You do in fact have a good point about the dreams; I would not expect Dun to dream you on the first Night. However, I’m not basing my ‘what the flip are you doing, woman?’ off of potential seer dreams, but off your actions. And if you have a pack that thought they could get away with it, then yes, I think it would be beneficial for them to try to derail a Fenrissing.

This is all that I think needs to be said about Agan. She mocks our pain and then she tries to cure it....by ending the pain or us though? Also, note that she’s referring to the cobbler as a she again. Could someone remind me: does she always do that, or is it only an occasional thing? I simply don’t have time to look toDay, for which I apologize. :/




I am confused, and haven’t really made up my mind about most things, but I believe I can section off at least a few people.....


Will lynch:
Gal
Agan



Will not lynch:
Nog
Menel (presently, anyway, as I wish to keep him around)



I am currently undecided on everyone else. I’ll probably be voting shortly before work again, though I hope I can be more active later in the evening (read, when I get home tonight).

Okay, where is everyone? Anyway, a short list...

Shasta - is interacting, even though it is very difficult to tell what exactly is he doing, I think he's been shifting a bit under my radar. Would like to read more and clarify my thoughts on him in the future.
Menel - popped in once toDay. Would be nice to see more from him in the future. I do not have any reason to suspect him, but then again, no input is no input.
Glirdan - a bit the same case as Shasta, even though a lot less contributive. Also would like more input from him.
G55 - some of her posts seem genuine, some look more strange and suspicious. Her somewhat confusing/contradictory explanations of what exactly she meant or suggesting that Zil being the Seer was not the reason for the WW's kill, along with the possible slip about "wolves thinking that Zil dreamt of Galwolf" are rather bad, the self-vote is another thing to consider, though, and what exactly was the motive of it.
Nerwen - is very sharp, very witty, has observations I can identify with, so unless I turn paranoid, I think this far I don't have reasons to say anything against her.
Nogrod - keeps his place on my suspicion list. He is sort of casting suspicions around - yesterday it was with Menel, then he voted in the Pitchwagon (and later said he would have perhaps preferred G55), toDay he was mostly going with the main direction of the discussion, casting suspicion again on G55 now, and on sally later. He had this "I acknowledge my vote was bad"-moment, which later sally said too, I think in general their votes depend a lot on what G55's role is.
Lommy - if it were not for the last-minute rather sudden jump on bandwagon started before by Agan, I wouldn't probably have thought her any awkward at all.
Aganzir - I wonder if her vote for sally was retaliation, though Agan is certainly not the person I'd expect to act that way (sort of, too "primitive" reaction for her, I'd say). Otherwise, maybe she does deserve a look, but she also had from the start some rather good observations and comments.
Sally - some points raised about her lately, she came out of the blue with some random ideas herself, too (like looking at Agan). She seems a bit as if she were out of the game first and then suddenly came bursting with ideas. Like Nog, she pointed out how bad her vote was, see above.
Kath - has disappeared quite early in the Day, nothing much to tell right now.

Basically, either Nog or G55 could be my votes toDay. I don't want to jump any sallywagon also because I think it would be rather random first, and unlike in Nog's case, she said too little to analyse. That means I would like to see more from her, just like from about half a dozen submarines otherwise.

Now to see if anybody at least posted meanwhile...

EDIT: x-ed with everyone since my last post.

Okay, lynching G55 might bring light to a few questions and it looks more probable to me she is a wolf than not - which doesn't mean I'm happy and easy to go with lynching her, but think it a reasonable choice.

On the other hand I just re-checked Sally's #139 and it really makes me want to lynch her, especially her odd choice of saying she will not want to lynch me (or Menel - picking us two from everyone else just like that) - which I just can't see any justification whatsoever, but to try and rub me the nice way to make me not wish to lynch her. If that was her plan it is backfiring in a major way...
