I'm rather tempted to lynch Gil or Morsul purely for defeatist attitude and continued disregard of coherent sentence structure respectively, but poor (or poor me) posting alone does not a wizard make, and Volo's plausible guilt is too much to ignore, so it's a difficult decision. I can understand the concern about Oz, but I honestly don't have the time to go back and look at all of his posts, so I'll have to ignore him for the moment.

Volo: Tried to start a bandwagon to save what turned out to be a wizard.

Morsul: Seems to know the alignment of another player.

Gil: Playing the "everyone's picking on me for being me" card far too much.

Of those, I find Gil's behavior to be the least "offensive" toDay, so it'll be down to Morsul and Volo.

I'll decide shortly, but I require a sammich first. Hopefully my next sammich will be packed full of wizard flesh....

x'd since....um, sometime around Nog's #238

Rikae · 01-24-2013, 03:30 PM

Hm. Morsul, what's your explanation for the remark about an innocent Cab?

Rikae · 01-24-2013, 03:32 PM

And doubleposting, but: Cop, why Oz over Morsul? Give us something to gnaw on.

EDIT: And... not doubleposting.

I think that Morsul's turn of phrase might well be something an innocent could say. Morsul doesn't word things extremely carefully and can be a bit sloppy. Aside from that remark, there are things which worry me, but I'm not confident enough in those to vote for him.

The real decision was Ozban over Volo, and to be honest I'm not at all sure I've made the right choice, given the amount of strange things Volo said. The reason I went for Ozban is because of the quick vote placement with no warning, few posts, and because it's likely that a wizard would attack another candidate rather than defend a fellow wizard.

Edit: crossposted since Rikae at #245.

It might be it is down to us two Sally.

So what do you think?

Of the ones with votes (and possible meaningful votes for us two) I might say Oz is a better pick than Morsul or Volo. But none seems especially innocent or suspicious either for me.

Nogrod · 01-24-2013, 03:52 PM

Also. I'm afraid the Wizards might not be among the top of the votes as it is so calm now aka. the Wizards can lay back and watch this from outside.

Well, if that's the case, Bane's getting modfired, which means even more pressure to get it right. How glorious. *headdesks* I don't have a problem with voting Oz, really, but Volo and Morsul are still highly suspicious for me.

Assuming it is just us, Volo would be a ridiculous move, as we'd only tie him with Oz and Oz would still die. Thus, unless someone else shows up, our options seem to be Oz and Morsul.

Deadline, stop posting.

Ozban has been lynched.

Narration to follow...

Thinlómien · 01-24-2013, 04:31 PM

Stupid as they are, the trolls were clever enough to figure out what had happened the day before when they had been asleep. They started arguing, as usual, and calling each other ugly names (which did sound quite endearing actually, but you wouldn't dare to tell that to their faces, of course) until they reached a consensus they wanted to kill a wizard.

"Great, so how do we get one?" asked Green. "The shoe thing didn't really work."
"What about socks?" asked Nerve. "I've been a-looking at Nog's socks."
"I've been looking at Mors' socks", Oz growled.
"Trolls don't wear socks!" Cab shouted.
"Yer right," agreed Brin.
"What's that thing on Mors' feet then?" asked Lot.
"It looks an awful lot like socks to me," Kat agreed.
"Green socks," Nog added.
"Furry green socks," Sal clarified.
"Idiots!" said Rick. "It is mold."
"Blimey! Yer right," said Gil.
"Hey but Oz has socks!" Lad pointed out.
Everybody turned to look at Oz and lo! He was unmistakably wearing red-and-yellow striped socks.
"That is not mold," said Mors gleefully.
"True as a troll," said Cop.
"I say we sit on him and squeeze his wizardry out of him," Vol opined to the delight of the other trolls.

Even though Oz was a big and strong troll, he was no match for more than a dozen of his kind, so they subdued him and sat on him, one by one, until they formed a nice pyramid of fourteen trolls. (Bane, Bore and Shaz were all having a nap, and their snores were so loud that had the pyramid been made of anything less heavy than trolls, I'm sure it would have toppled over.) For a long time, Oz was trying to fight his way under the other trolls' massive, smelly bodies, but after some time he stopped struggling.

"Does that mean we can get off?" asked Rick, who was the lowermost of the other trolls.
"He could still be alive," said Lad.
"He hasn't got any smaller," added Mors carefully. "Only p'raps a little flatter."
"I'm not enjoying this," said Cop. "That fat oaf Vol is a-crushing me."
"Then move yerself you booby," said Vol, and with these words, all the trolls started crawling out of their troll pyramid with many curses and confusions.

In the end, they all got back in their feet again, and only Oz was lying on the floor. He looked the same as ever, only deader, and thus the trolls learned that wearing socks doesn't always mean you are not a troll.

I can find the relavent posts but this is the Third time:

I used a hypothetical, something lots of people do.

The posts are 172 and 234

Rikae · 01-24-2013, 03:37 PM

Sorry, missed that. Fair enough, if only because I almost said something similar and I know I'm not a wizard. Running alongside a known wizard like that made him look quite innocent at any rate (whether he is or not).

Rikae · 01-24-2013, 03:38 PM

Sally, Oz doesn't have that many posts to look at. For your convenience:

Nogrod · 01-24-2013, 03:43 PM

Has Bane been around the whole D2?

His disappearance less than ten minutes before the DL on D1 wolud make me suspect him a lot, but then again if he hasn't been around is there a problem (connection-problem, newbie-problem, whatever-problem)?

Anyway it seems I'm less likely now to ask for lynching him even if I knid of thought of it for a while.

Oz seems a bit suspicious (I looked at a few posts form late D1 and some of toDay), but how much of it is not being used to this game and how much genuine suspiciousness?

I think Volo is more innocent than not (could be wrong), but his "this is bandwagon" -speech seems like his normal self - some others might have used smilies in there. That said, his vote stands out the most in hindsight as a possible "save a mate" vote.

I haven't played with Morsul too many times but I have the feeling he manages to confuse people quite often. That said, the "slip" about innocent McCaber looks pretty bad (even if it is possible he was talking in hypotheticals).

I was going back ewith the same problem in mind and have to bring you this though...

It seems he was suspecting Gil on D1, but immediately when Pom got a vote he voted for McCaber (who already had votes) out of thin air it seems. So if there was an attempt to keep your mate in th game it could be possible to see Oz trying to do that.

Possible that is. There's an haf an hour to try to see how probable it could be.

Now, I hate how I have to constantly defend myself, and I hate having to constantly be using the "every one is picking on me" card because that is really all I have. Nobody seems to believe my reasoning, they simply toss it out and replace their own, usually stating that I don't make any sense. I just have to say I am getting frustrated at this, it is like I am speaking a foreign language and nobody can understand me and just pass me off.

I am trying here, and for the most part I am enjoying this game immensely. But please, if you are going to lynch me, make it because you think I am a wizard, not because you just want to get me out of the game.

(During the day, I am using my phone to type my comments, which is difficult enough as is.)

I will try harder to explain every minute detail, and explain it twice over to the best of my ability.
