Ah! Allow me!

Consulting Reindeer for Beginners, I find that

"okokclak onk owk clik ockockwonk"

translates to

"I am a werewolf disguised as a terrier disguised as a reindeer. Please lynch me before I die of confusion."

Well, well!

Oh, really? My book gives:

"I am a cobbler disguised as an ordo disguised as a reindeer. Wolves please not my future use of reindeer language."

Inziladun · 12-22-2012, 06:41 AM

Oh dear me. Poor Suzy! I start to melt just thinking about it!
Please do me a favor, and keep an eye out for the sun. It and I don't get along so well.

All right, but that snowman will have to have a hat of their own. This one's taken!

Sally - Little Cindy Lou Who
Little Cindy Lou Who exactly. Hasn't been around.

Shasta - Jack Frost
Has probably frozen so can't type.

G55 - Rudolph
Already making apologies and excuses. How furry! Oh, I guess reindeer have furs... or do you call them pelts? Hides?

Coppermirror - The Ghost of Christmas Present
Never played with him/her before. Only saw Bêthberry asking on Facebook who admits playing werewolf under the name Coppermirror on the 'downs. I assume this means I have to be wary.

Steve - Valkotukka
If we had a werebear in the village, I know where I'd be pointing at.

Morsul - The Grinch
I remember why he always instantly makes my alarm bells ring. Trying to ignore it as well as I can...

Nerwen - The Sugar Plum Fairy
Her PT doesn't really match with her words.

Zil - Frosty
A pity it's holiday season so he's not playing ww on his work time. Other than that, nothing to say.

Boro - Olive the Other Reindeer
Sending fishy coded messages in reindeer speech - lynch him!

McCaber - Tiny Tim
Didn't see him yet, did we?

Lommy - Paksu
Has a fitting name, that's all.

Legate - Santa Claus
Still laughing at this casting. I liked his asking the clarifying questions, but it of course doesn't prove anything.

Boromir88 · 12-22-2012, 09:58 AM

Is it sad I watched 3 different videos of reindeer calls to try and get the sounds as accurately as possible? It was like a cross between a pig and a wookie.

Be careful. That sound has likely been patented.

satansaloser2005 · 12-22-2012, 10:28 AM

I'm sorry I've just shown up. I've just *sobs* I've been crying all Day. Why would someone do something so horrible to Suzy?

Boromir88 · 12-22-2012, 10:56 AM

And here's what I've concluded so far...

Nothing new to say:

Sally and Shasta have yet to appear. Slow to get moving, but they will come.

Nerwen participates early, but will forget to vote today. I would say though, since we've already had the apocalypse, you can vote Day 1 and you don't have to feel like you're ending the world?

Those who have early on made me laugh:

Morsul's poetry was a lot better than Bombadil banging on about water lilies. Also, better than anything you get out those terrible poetry readings from psuedo-poets that get you so depressed you wish you would have snuck in that bottle of bourbon.

Zil's latest post, heh sounding like a cross between a pig and a wookie...classic.

Why so serious?

Legate - Could have possibly put him up in the first one, since it is nothing new for Legate to be all business, even on holiday leave...well actually I suppose this is the busiest time of the season for him. Watch and Wait.

Why so seriously unserious?

G55 - the snowflake snowman monument combined with

Lommy - List of people post is about as telling as mine. But where mine is seriously acknowledged as limitted to start and help me categorizing people (yep, sorry I fit people into personal compartments). I can't tell if Lommy's is a serious attempt to look unserious and random. Or if it's an unserious attempt to start the serious suspicion train a moving.

Coppermirror - What do I say about Nerwen's translation? It's quite wrong, but as the Sugar Plum Fairy I imagine she went for the literal translation just looking at a "Reindeer to Fairy dictionary." She clearly did not pick up the slight phonetic alterations between the ock and ok which significantly changes the meaning.

Is it sad after reading this, I watched any videos I could find with reindeer sounds to see if there was a certain call being imitated, to be interpretted?

I think this will be a silly game. And thank you for your kind words of my rambling Seussosity.

Is it sad that I was just doing the same thing too some 5 minutes ago?

Coppermirror · 12-22-2012, 05:08 PM

I'm unsure what tactic we ought to take. I'm adoring the fun banter on this Day, but that won't help us to catch the villains. Then again, setting up some sort of scheme that would soon be discarded might be a waste of time too, unless someone has a really good suggestion and it can be implemented quickly.

I know! We must let the joy of Christmas fill our hearts. The fiends we are facing have tightly wound hearts which hate Christmas, like that miser Scrooge. When they speak of their love of the season, they may betray themselves inadvertently.

I'm but a harmless Ghost who likes to spread good cheer.

This is my third game. I'd read a lot of old games (starting from the oldest games, in order) as a hobby of mine before signing up for my first game, so I sounded a lot better informed than the average newbie Werewolf player, and a few people got suspicious about whether I could be someone who'd played before under a new name or somebody who had experience with the game elsewhere. But, that really was my first game of Werewolf or anything like it. I made plenty of newbie mistakes in my first game, but they just weren't the type of newbie mistakes people were most used to. Being informed about theory doesn''t make up for lack of experience.

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-22-2012, 05:17 PM

I'm around, relatively, but there just hasn't really been anything that's caught my eye enough to mention.

I'm going to go eat, then have another read - it's all been pretty quiet, thus far. Legate seems to be the only person really discussing much.

McCaber · 12-22-2012, 05:29 PM

Going totally by my gut, I suspect Legate Claus. Nothing happens in this town without the Big Man knowing about it.

Last I checked, reindeer and wolves were mortal enemies. Which means Boro's probably on the level. Unless he sold us out in exchange for safe passage.

CM I have no experience with, so I'm going to leave him be for now.

Shasta, like myself, has a history of saying much less than he thinks. His instincts are usually pretty correct unless something changed massively in the past year or so I've been away.

G55 and Boro have been first to the analysis of posts. But it's early yet, and for Day1 things aren't going too badly.

Sounds like a guilty conscience to me.

Well, I could speak it that way quite convincingly...the Dixie part, that is.

Message! Banter! Message! Banter!...

I've looked into the matter. However, I don't think speculation of any real meaning would be useful at this point, and it could be damaging, at least to those in the Christmas spirit...
