Yes, Volo, I see what you mean. In the absence of a Seer, every little comment can be jumped on for maximum value due to us having no solid leads.

EDIT: X-posted with Mac.

Nerwen 03-01-2008 12:24 PM

I believe Volo's was a killing vote.

Mac, seems you just died. Are you a wolf?

I fear not– that last post of Volo's looks awfully gloating.

I believe Mac has 5 votes and Volo one, with four players left to vote... so if they're all around,.... "it's possible"... Volo could be lynched.

Don't you know that? ;)

A Wolf, otherwise you would have been nicer. :)

Rikae 03-01-2008 12:27 PM

No, that's right -- only three haven't voted, I think.

Expect to be punished for this... :mad:

Oh but that it is! I just managed to prove that I'm right and it couldn't have been an unintential slip.

I'm usually especially nice when I'm a wolf.

Usually... :smokin:

Volo 03-01-2008 12:30 PM

On Menel. I don't think he's a Wolf, because Mac is obviously one. Menel pretty much suspected only Mac most of the time, a bit too bold, if you ask me. Then again, he might have gotten lessons from Nogrod on how to lynch a partner. :rolleyes: :p :D

Next week, you can sleep in the back yard. There's a nice, soft snowbank out there. Germans make good candy, so maybe they make good popsicles, too?

Macalaure 03-01-2008 12:32 PM

mmmm....popsicles :)

Rikae 03-01-2008 12:33 PM

*buys a cat o' nine tails*

Nerwen 03-01-2008 12:38 PM

Mac, do you seriously mean to make us wait half an hour until the DL?

I hope Rikae has a strong arm.

Volo 03-01-2008 12:39 PM

Yeah, it is confirmed. I talked with Aganzir and she said that Mac is a Wolf. :)

Macalaure 03-01-2008 12:39 PM

There's it.

You got me.

Rikae 03-01-2008 12:40 PM

Those wolfish features I mentioned in my vote-post do not belong on an ordo -- ergo, if they are there, they need to be removed...

EDIT: X'd with Volo and Mac. So, I have too much confidence in my gut feelings, eh?

A Little Green 03-01-2008 12:40 PM

*phew*

Huh, I'm back. This is nerve-wrecking.

Volo is very confusing. What is this Nerwen-obsession of his? I can't follow his logic on people's attitude about her at all (the more you suspect Nerwen the more innocent you look). I would like an explanation from him before I conclude on whether it's wolvish or merely odd. :p

Lommy's frequent repetition of her playing style bothers me, but otherwise she looks genuine. "I only behave like this when I'm innocent, therefore I can't be a wolf" is not what I'd call a valid argument. It's ok if you say it once or so, but Lommy has been repeating it more than is necessary (I'm not sure whether that argument is ever necessary).

I'm now more convinced than ever that Mac is a wolf. Therefore,

++Mac

Sorry to have been so uncontributing toDay. I promise to be more active toMorrow.


EDIT: x-ed with everything on this page

Rikae 03-01-2008 12:43 PM

Mac, you're lucky -- because if you had humiliated me by being an ordo... *brandishes knife*

Oh, that's priceless. :D

A Little Green 03-01-2008 12:44 PM

Hee hee I was right!!! :D

Just tell me one thing, Mac... Was the quote I spotted really a slip?

Volo 03-01-2008 12:45 PM

Oh no! Lily! You missed to mention your 100th post!! Congratulations!

Now, :smokin:

Well, that's a relief. :) I thought we were never going to get one.

But then, what's Volo up to? (I'm asking everyone else, not you, Mac.) Surely he must be a wolf, after the things he said?

EDIT: X'd with everyone since Rikae at #378.

Rikae 03-01-2008 12:46 PM

Just want to say this in case I don't survive --
take a good look at Dury tomorrow, folks.

I'd say it's possible he isn't. :smokin:
Volo has a way of wording things oddly, after all, and could have been speaking from the perspective of the rest of the village. Still, if Durelin's a wolf...

EDIT: Added bolding

Meneltarmacil 03-01-2008 12:50 PM

I wouldn't exactly count on that. As I've said earlier toDay, both of them are unlikely to be wolves together, since they voted for the exact same people on Day 1 (Gwathagor) and Day 2 (McCaber). Unless this is some complicated form of double-bluffing, I don't thnk the wolves would do something like that.

Durelin 03-01-2008 12:51 PM

What be...happening? Wow, I thought the votes would be a lot more spread out toDay... Ooh, and I'm *creepy*... :cool:

Sorry, I had a busier morning than I expected. So I have like...15 minutes to make up my mind?

Guess I'll have to just vote for my 'comrade in wolfyness'. :rolleyes:

++Macalaure

If we're wrong, we're pretty screwed. And Rikae's going to be busy. If we're right, I might actually give Rikae the benefit of the doubt for once. Maybe... *shifty eye movement*

Edit: Crossed with a lot of people... Rather boring confession, Mac. :p

*answers anyway*

He's a wolf, too, obviously. :p

Rikae 03-01-2008 12:53 PM

Nerwen's a bit creepy these last few minutes.

Macalaure 03-01-2008 12:56 PM

Last words.
 
Obviously, I only admitted to be a wolf in order to see the reactions. I'm really an ordo, sorry for messing with your minds. I hope that knife is at least sharp. :eek:

It's a pity Lily and Durelin have been rather quiet toDay. I wish I would have some new things to go at with them. The two are my main suspects next to the confessing Volo (asked Aganzir? Riiiiight).
(However, while Lily's vote post looks quite bad, her following post looks innocentish. If she was bad, why should she ask this?)
(Durelin's comment on Rikae, on the other hand, looks extremely wolvish, if you ask me)

I think Nerwen, Rikae and Lommy are innocent.

In case I'm wrong somewhere, I'd say that especially Nogrod, but also Menel and Mith could be a wolf.

I'm quite annoyed of myself that I went after Lommy like I did. Overconfidence that occurs when suddenly everything seems to make sense to you.

Could you explain? I'd hate to call someone innocent who maybe isn't.

Nogrod 03-01-2008 12:57 PM

Never try to play a game with three people sharing one computer... :rolleyes:

But as it actually looks pretty clear now, then...

++ Macalaure

But that done I must say I'm not at all too happy with this whole thing. There were too many easy bandwaggonings toDay and I must agree with Volo that I do not like it. With the unanimous decision the fellows have just slipped in to join.

And to make things harder I must say that Nerwen's vote for Volo looks pretty suspicious as a kind of self-confident wolf-move disassociating herself from the wagon on a fellow... and thence claiming individual reasoning outside the madness when we toMorrow start searching for the ones joining the wagon with bad or non-believable reasons... :confused:

That just because I see at the moment Volo more as weird than a wolf. I mean I don't get half of the points he makes and his "confessions" look just too attention-calling that no wolf would do that... or then would... OMG.

EDIT: X'd from Menel onwards...

Are you serious?

Durelin 03-01-2008 12:59 PM

Uh oh...Mac, I feel more sorry for you than this village. :eek:

Nogrod 03-01-2008 01:00 PM

Oh my.

If what Mac says is true (it has no bearing at the moment to fool us) do look also at Rikae and Lommy toMorrow if I'm not around...

Aganzir 03-01-2008 01:00 PM

Deadline.

You have killed Macalaure.

Rikae 03-01-2008 01:00 PM

That is going too far.

EDIT: Crossed with everybody since my ex's post.

Nerwen 03-01-2008 01:03 PM

Everyone, if Mac is telling the truth now– lynch Volo tomorrow. I don't care how metaphysical he gets this time.

EDIT: X'd with lots of people.

Aganzir 03-01-2008 01:45 PM

Day 3
 
This day, the beggars were almost unanimous that Macalaure the Guileless was an evil werewolf.

”Yes, he is guilty,” said Lommy. ”If he was innocent, he would surely know better than to suspect me!”

”Aye, he is guilty,” said Rikae, ”but I still have this inexplicable feeling that Lommy and Durelin are somehow laughing inwardly when they speak.”

”This whole thing makes me feel so pessimistic,” sighed Volo.

”This Volo makes my head ache,” sighed Lommy.

”That's not important. Shouldn't we kill Mac now?” asked Nogrod.

”What shall we do to him?” inquired Greenie.

”I know! We can play snow war against him!” said Menel.

”What a sweet idea,” exclaimed Mith. ”It's so nice that you kids want to play with each other even in this horrible situation.”

The beggars went out then, but even Mac, who had rejoiced for the new clothes, found them eventually too gruesome to put on. They started to make snowballs in the darkening evening. But although Mac had much experience of both making and throwing them, he stood alone against nine.

Menel was the first to throw a snowball at him. It hit him on the forehead.

”Are you going to confess?” asked Durelin.

”You expect me to tell and spoil the fun?” cried Mac and threw a snowball at her.

”I love this!” exclaimed Volo when he threw a snowball. ”There's a voice in my head that says we're right about Mac!”
He was lying, naturally. Sometimes he liked to invent all kinds of things, imaginative friends and all, to appear cooler. But his words had effect anyway. More and more snowballs were flying towards Mac.

The war was short but furious. The beggars didn't suffer any losses nor was anyone wounded, and eventually Mac ran out of snowballs. Then the beggars charged. They kept bombing Mac until he was lying on the ground, bruised and bleeding. Mith dropped her last snowball on his head. That was enough. He made a rattling sound and closed his eyes.

But, as on so many days before, his body remained unchanged. They had killed already three of their innocent little children with their own very hands.
