Alright then, let's force Lommy to think more about this all...
Groin - innocent enough. He's calling me silly, though. Aganzir - my opinion of her varies from jumpy baddie to a sweet flibbertigibbet. Currently, I'm not worried. (And even if I were, I wouldn't vote her toDay. She hasn't played ww for ages and I like her contribution.) Legate - does not worry me. Kitanna - doesn't reveal much of herself. I think she tends to be more silent when she's evil but it would be very hasty draw that kind of conclusions at this phase of the game. Gollum - don't have an opinion on yet. Nogrod - is ghastlily silent. Where is he? Brinniel - my greenish sister said: "Nice and confused, as always. No idea of what her role could be." and I can agree with that statement. Sally - her normal self, which sadly does not mean we can trust her (yet). Rikae - I can't pinpoint it, but she seems a little odd to me. Maybe she does too sharp turns, or something. Mac - well, despite everything I've said, he seems innocentish to me, although it would be foolish to be anything close to certain. He just seems more like his innocent self than his guilty self... but I know, he has fooled me before. Fea - innocentish, but I'd rather vote myself than bet on it. Greenie - no idea yet. Eönwë - another young gentleman who calls me silly. More innocent than guilty, but that means absolutely nothing at this phase. Lalaith - not enough to form an opinion on. Smart as always, for sure. McCaber, Shasta, Gwath & Eomer - given how innocent the others seem in general, they must be all evil. Ouch, no idea who to vote and bed-time approaches... I have a feeling I might vote someone who has not contributed much but given the weird deadline it does seem a little unfair... edit: xed with Kittie

Oh my!
I predicted the game would gain some speed a few hours ago only to find that there are something like one and half pages of stuff written between my last visit here and now... To answer Lommy shortly about my "ghastly silence" as I can see her post right up above: working... sadly, working... But I'll stick to reading the thread now and will be back shortly, hopefully with something to say.

Okay I read quickly through the thread in order to see if anything should catch my eye.
I think Mac and Rikae are weird. Quote:
However, Rikae's certainty that Mac has a role because she hasn't is strange. The point that Di wouldn't make them both ordos is just bad. There's a certain likelihood that two good players get a special role, but there are many others than Mac and Rikae as well - and who knows if the roles were selected randomly? In any case, it definitely isn't a point I would use against somebody, and to me it seems Rikae should know better, too. I don't find it that surprising that Lommy thought her accusations of Mac were a joke. Quote:
Quote:
I don't know - Mac just seems to find the idea that one of them has a role so normal, so casual... And to him role only means either an ordo or a baddie - no thoughts about possible giftedness. Like "if you don't (at least pretend to) believe I'm innocent I will have to lynch you, so better believe it!" Sorry, this is unclear. I just can't put it any better. Quote:
I still think Fea's reasons as to why we should talk about the possible roles are bad. The last one (about the chance of slipping) wasn't as bad as the earlier ones, but even it looked more like she had just come up with it suddenly after running out of other reasons. I doubt very much anyone would slip anything, and therefore all rule talk seems to me more like a futile thing to do. I'm not saying you couldn't do it, I just don't see the sense in it. I remember once asking a player if she encouraged speculating and trying to get into some conclusion because she was afraid of slipping something she shouldn't have known and therefore wanted some public agreement about how things most likely could be. It came to my mind now. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Actually I think Fea could be a lover or something - the way she stubbornly sets out to defend the pros of rule discussion is odd, and especially taken to such lengths, it doesn't sound entirely honest. Quote:
Quote:
Lommy is really too tra-la-la-ley, happy and nice. So now if I had to make a list of people who have posted enough to catch my attention in a negative way thus far, it'd consist of Mac, Rikae, Lommy and Fea. edit: xed with Kit, Lom, Leg & Nog

The point was that in my opinion there weren't enough differences in helpfulness between me and Legate's posts at that point to justify Groin's entirely different treatment of us. It had me wondering if he was trying to get a strong ally in Legate. And what actually were your reasons to call me jumpy, my dear Madam/Sir?

Now I know what's wrong with me. I've been wolf in the past two games, and I last played as innocent in early June. So small wonder if I have problems accustoming myself to really hunting wolves. I mean, I do pay attention to suspicious things people say, but I don't go as far as to start really suspecting them. I'm not thinking about who's a wolf, I'm just commenting everything that people say... Not good. Maybe I should let Greenie back here now and go re-wire my brain meanwhile...

Possible, of course, but I feel better about Mac than I do about Rikae, but don't think I'd discounted the fact they could both be up to no good.

I am not feeling anything especially strange about Rikae, and I have not been paying much attention to their exchanges (rather because I am really not the one for deep analysis of these exchanges), but Mac at least seemed weird to me from the beginning, and I have him marked as one to eventually vote for.

++*
Lommy + Legate ~ something's wrong there Sally Eonwe ~ another one who's being too nice Brinniel ~ has talked exclusively about the rules so far Groin ~ gives me a bad feeling o Kitanna ~ always have a hard time reading her Gollum ~ no idea Lily ~ one post, and that was a list - easy way to appear involved Lalaith ~ no idea - Aganzir ~ too argumentative to be a wolf, methinks Nogrod ~ no alarms yet, which is alarming Rikae ~ accuses and defends me, which is what innocent Rikaes tend to do, but evil Rikaes might as well -- Fea ~ strikes me very innocent ? Shasta, Gwath, McCaber, Eomer ~ these fellows really better show up. This large number of silent ones is especially worrying since we are lacking modkill. It's nice that we have so many baddies in this village (well, presumably): I can call six people suspicious without having to worry about who of them I'm necessarily wrong about.

Or just a bold wolf?
She seems very - dare I say it?- phantom-ish (in her own little way) to me this game. I don't know whether that's good or bad thing. And now your defending her too, but not obviously so. Hmmm... The plot thickens

I'm a bit surprised by how much people have been able to chat. Far as I can see, we know nothing, and it's deliberate. We're not supposed to know anything; we're supposed to grope blindly in the dark, providing delicious entertainment for the mod in the process. Well, I'm not falling for that yet. I presume only that there are villains. It's probable that some will stay quiet and some will be very involved in discussion, trying to determine, in public to greater the acclaim, the nature of the game.
Whether you're doing that by reference to the last game, I'm not sure. I would say that it's dangerous to let the past game affect your appraisal overly. I'd say that there's been far too much talk over little not to have some active villains, acting the wise. Well, I'm all for a bit more substance. So: ++Rikae Have at it. Edit: crossed with Mac, who has seemingly got the first vote in. Curse him, stealing my thunder...

I have to hurry and vote. I stand by my suspicions of Rikae. I don't like her "joke" accusation toward Mac, seeing as she admitted it wasn't necessarily an entire joke. I feel bad about her.
++Rikae I find the talk around Agan and Agan herself. But I'm not sure I find anything overly suspicious about here. I probably won't be back, though I'll try, but I've voted now just in case. Edit: I see Eomer beat me to the Rikae vote...jerk :P

I can't tell if Mac's post contains an actual vote or not. Mac, if it is a vote, please clarify. If it isn't, I shall slap you for your formatting.

I've got to vote in about two hours if I don't want to wake up hours earlier than I otherwise should (which I don't). I think I'd prefer voting Mac over Rikae but since Rikae already has votes, I'm maybe a bit more inclined to add there one more. Anyway, now I need something to eat, and I should probably also do some school things. Maybe. But I'll stay online anyway so I'm not entirely gone. edit: xed with Lal and The Honourable Corpse

I am keeping my eye on the silent Nogrod, though. Horrible! Such an irresponsibility! How comes he does not find any time to post? A few almost one-liners? Now come on! That's too much! Such people should not even play! I am not quite comfortable with the idea of everybody voting Rikae suddenly, as I am more inclined to think that Mac is the evil one here (if not both, of course). I just hope there will be more people to vote for Mac as well, as he is No.1 for me toDay. EDIT: x-ed since Lalaith

Hmm, I'd suggest you use asterisks or something rather next time. That confused me, too (and seemingly lots of others). The symbol of two pluses is already taken... (hey, then what about using three or such?)

I'm not comfortable with the general focus of suspicions at the moment (almost exclusively me, Rikae, Aganzir, and Lommy). Too many people got by without anybody noticing. Please, have a closer look at things each of you. There's an incredible number of submarines right now.

I don't quite understand why Rikae given those two votes. Perhaps I was not paying attention. I cannot think of anyone who would bear a great deal of watching at the present; we have so little evidence to build suspicions off of.

This post was about to be a vote-post, but for some reason I just had a sudden feeling that I shouldn't vote Rikae.
I'll wait and see what she has to say for herself (if it's in the next 45 minutes).

Which brought to my mind... I want to go to sleep pretty soon, which means I should vote pretty soon, which means I'm in trouble since I'm having my traditional Day 1 "Oh no I don't suspect anyone" crisis. Then, some other random stuff that crossed my mind while I read.. 1) Legate and Agan bring up good points about Groin; I didn't really pay attention to the matter before, but now that I reread the post it does seem weird. This is something I should think about a little more. 2) I don't know what to think of this sudden cross-post flood of Rikae votes. Granted, she has been a bit strange - but still, what, something like four Rikae-votes or semi-votes just suddenly appearing all at once? It's plain weird. 3) Quote:
Like I said I am not yet decided on who to vote. I think I'll read some bits again and come back (hopefully) with some ideas and a vote. EDIT: x-ed OH MY GOSH with everyone since Agan's post number 103...

In the earlier game there were four independent pairs of lovers (werecats, werebirds etc...). In one game - possibly it was the Hoy Brasil - there were wolves as normal but they all had secret lovers behind the others' backs (so in the end all the wolves were playing for themselves even if they posed as friends to each other).
We have a host of possibilities then. But one thing we should remember is that whatever the case this is a lovers game and in those two are always interconnected. So more than normal, the lovers will defend each other if it looks like it the other one is going to get lynched. So far I have seen Kitanna defend Mac twice. Mac has been under pressure and Kitanna has really not stated any more elaborated reasons for her backing of him. Other defendings have been more vague up till now, but I need to look at it again. And I have some other suggestions as well but I'll post this first not to write a novel out of this first one.

Yes, I'm used to being in the second half of the game, once all the main stuff of the day has happened and I'm reading over it. It seems strange now that I'm only in the first half.

There was one thing I forgot to mention in my last post. About Lommy's list, then. I'm too lazy to look for it again, but I noticed that at almost every single point there was some kind of "seems a bit suspicious because of xxxxx, but then feels quite OK and it's silly to draw conclusions at this phase". I know we can't be sure of anything at this phase, but the way she has to emphasise it so often in order to sort of soften her points seems a bit exaggerated. I'll vote soon because I want to go to sleep. No idea who to vote, though. I will definitely not vote Rikae - I don't find her particularly suspicious and besides I don't like it when there is but one person who is being voted. It's nothing to encourage discussion other than "Oh my, a bandwaggon!" and is the perfect spot for baddies to slip away unnoticed. EDIT: x-ed withNoggins and Eönwë
