I am finding this game confusing enough without having to cope with Michael Jackson's chimp and the answer to "what's brown and sticky?":rolleyes:



Awwwww, poor ickle Mith....*hugs you*


Bubbles=Mac
Stick (or any derivative thereof)=Mira


EDIT: x'd with the ever-helpful Lari :D

Fare thee well, Shasta.

Noooo. Heading in that direction is baaaad. I'm sure Sally's disclaimer from the end of Day 1 still stands:

It's not about that, it's about having enough backbone to say you think this person looks the most guilty. Regardless of how uncertain you are, that's who you should vote for, right? It's just too much of a cop-out to say that you don't really think the person is guilty while you vote for them anyway.

Of course I'm one to talk right now after my vote yesterDay... I do wish I had gone with Lommy or Mac just to stick to some standards, but...wasn't sure when I posted where Brinn was going and if Gwath's vote counted (until he came back and re-posted it).

How? His only points as far as I recall were that supposed 'slip', which I must say makes me feel great that everyone has so much confidence in my intelligence and ability to control my fingers (apparently my sense of humour does not translate well to keyboard...my 'ranger' roleplaying that wasn't actually supposed to be a ranger-type is enough proof of that I suppose), and that it is apparently suspicious to look at votes made so far in the day if they are less than a certain number greater than four.

Well, except I'd expect (heh) that would have been hinted at in the narration. I guess if we really want to stretch it we could say that maybe the werebear just forgot to send in a kill or can't kill every night but I think that would be stretching it too far. :D

So I can remember excatly where a quote is on a page for a paper but fail to remember rules. That does make more sense though.:rolleyes:

True, so we probably aren't dealing with a bear.

satansaloser2005 03-20-2009 10:59 AM

the moddess speaks (again)
 
Like I said before, no gender clues in the narrations, kiddos. It's pretty much random, though I believe I stated that I'm referring to all the were-ducks as female, barring perhaps the occasional typo. (I put in the clues about Shasta because he was effectively killed when Mira was)

If there is a ranger save it will be put in the narration, so never fear. As for the werebear question itself, I plead the fifth. You'll just have to find out. :Merisu:

Heh I know. Well, every game needs a player that continuously crosses with the mod/moddess so I guess you win. How would you like your trophy and platter of cookies shipped?

Rikae 03-20-2009 11:18 AM

Gah, I can't believe you all missed the fact that Shasta wasn't among the living and Sally had to end up telling you. I noticed it right away; too bad I overslept. Oh well...

Mac's new sig- awww, poor Mac. *hug* *proceeds to annoy him further*

Well, I think I know Fea, Mith, Nerwen and Phantom's assignments - which is, of course, no help at all, since it doesn't mean they don't also have more sinister roles.

Nog, don't worry, you can say it - if I don't have a special posting assignment, I have a role. (don't care who knows it, I'm not gonna play your gosh darn game! I ain't saying I'm better than you are - but maybe I am...*) :D

I actually think too much speculation on the reasons for the kill, at least with a kill like this, is cobblerish. Why? When I'm a baddie, I pretty much always choose a "trail-less" kill (and it doesn't hurt me to say so, since most baddies do the same) unless there is someone screaming gifted. This is not so much because I'm afraid of a trail leading to me - it could always be a bluff - but because it's easy to hide in a village full of loudmouths who are constantly bickering. Yeah.

*person who recognizes this gets cookies. Macaroons.

Kath 03-20-2009 11:27 AM

Well I'm around but I was going to talk about the fact that sally had said there would be no clues in the narration so looking at pronouns seems pointless and also that surely if there was a werebear and it's kill had been thwarted by a Ranger that would surely be in the narration. However, I just read the post in which sally said all that so now I feel that is rather superfluous. As I have little more to say right now though I thought I'd post it anyway!

That's my kind of a lass!

But really. Has anyone actually tried to advance our duckhunt toDay? Anyone?

Where are the suspicons, accusations, theories or points that rise your eyebrows and actually are targeted at someone?

Do you really think we can get anywhere if people continue playing like this on a general level? We're on Day2 already so there should be no excuses concerning the lack of stuff to read and think.

I'm off to eat and we shall share the computer, Lommy & me, today. Just fyi.

I think it's more cobblerish not to talk about clear evidence like Night kills...

If it's clear evidence, O flightless feathered fortune-teller, what does it clearly show? :p

Mithalwen 03-20-2009 01:25 PM

Lommie is ringing my alarm bells a bit... I don't know if it is just her playing conditions or the fact she is more interested in external things but she really seems different. Somewhat frivolous for someone who normally plays seriously. I don't really like her vote for Lari ... she doesn't seem to give reasons why suspicious but seems to use saying she might vote for her as justification for actually voting for her.

I know I voted for Lari too but I had to go so early.

I would like to read through but there is so much spam...hey ho...

Rikae 03-20-2009 01:30 PM

Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam lovely spam!

Uhm, ok....I'll return shortly with some quotes and such to back this all up, but for now this is my starting list, subject to change:

The list of people who confuse the heck out of me:
  • Fea
  • Nerwen
  • Nilp

The list of people who I have absolutely no clue about:
  • Izzy
  • Mith
  • Kath
  • Mac
  • Nienna

The list of people I'm pretty sure about:
  • Lommy
  • Rikae
  • Brinn
  • Nogrod

The list ofpeople I suspect most at this time:
  • Gwath
  • Lari
  • Dury

Be back soonish with more detail...

Not really. If it wasn't more, I would ignore it. It's the fishy way you reacted to Nogrod's accusation.

The gentleman doth complain to much. :rolleyes:

But really, at night you make a trailless kill and at day you bicker about the lack of analysis. Tsk. :p

In high school Lari was on the swim team. I wonder if she liked to be in the water or above it.

Rikae could stop beating the nail on the head.

That is all for now... more later I promise.

To Her Moddess: There is no such thing as too much Rings, alone or in company. I just figured you wouldn't want to do four hours straight. Not to worry; I'm willing to repeat episodes (heck, I've already repeated 2/3 of the ones we've listened to).

And now I'm getting out of here before Esty sics a skwerl on us.

Oi! That's Phantom's line, you pox-ridden wench! :eek:


:Merisu:

Macalaure 03-20-2009 02:07 PM

Tending suspicious:
Durelin - what I and Nogrod said before.
Nogrod - bad feeling there. I highly doubt both Nogrod and Durelin are ducks, which doesn't make it easier for me.

Unknown:
Fea - strict posting requirements, presumably. It's easy to hide behind those, though.
Brinn - hindered by requirements and/or real life. Impossible to tell.
Mith - no way of knowing.
Kath - ditto.
Nienna - I don't have any idea.
Gwath - we all know it's hard to get a grip on the game the first two days, but come on, try!
Lommy - I can usually figure her out fairly well, but not this time. That could mean she's evil, or that it's just her role/requirement.
Nilp - *shrug*

Tending innocent:
wilwa - seems most sane of everybody.
Izzy - seemed innocent so far.
Nerwen - no alarms (which, since I tend to suspect her when she's innocent, doesn't put me at ease).
Rikae - no reason to suspect.
Lari - pretty confident of her innocence.


Well this wasn't as enlightening as I thought. At least I now know who I won't vote for. The game setup allows too many people to get away with little, which leaves us completely in the dark about them. Eventually we have to go start lynch them. Come on folks, I'm not exactly keeping up with mine, and I haven't been modfired yet. ;)

Isabellkya 03-20-2009 02:11 PM

Mac is a duck. Because he makes sense - which means he is a duck.

Nog is a duck. He doesn't make sense, so he is a duck. I wonder if his "requirement" was to not initiate analyses. So that is why he is whing-ing so much; because he has to wait for the rest of us to get to it. But as a collective - we've been spam.

I think I've spotted the Seer, but I'm not telling.

Nerwen is the Cobbler.

Of Brin, Wilwa, Lari and Nienna - you've got your third duck. Gut says Nienna; but why trust the gut? It only speaks, when not spoken to. Could be because 'tis beyond lunchtime.

Rikae, Lommy and Mith - there is something funny. Not humor funny. But weird funny.


Okay. Now I'm off to lunch.


X'd since Nienna's #468.

It's cause I have mad skills :p.....haha, actually I just figured out how to do them yesterDay, quite fun indeed....

Okee, down to business. My 3 suspects as I listed above: Durelin, Lari and Gwath. I went back and skimmed through some stuff and I found the most against Gwath (see below). Dury is purely an eerie creepy bad feeling, I don't think I'll be voting her toDay, but I wouldn't be against the idea either, we'll see how it all goes.

Lari, well, she posts alot, like a lot....and I couldn't find much that was really interesting. She just makes me uneasy and I'm very tempted to vote for her toDay.

Now Gwath, I saw this and went "oh!", let me know if it's already been mentioned and I just didn't see it:

Legate's vote for Durelin looks pretty bad to me, but I don't think that a clever wolf would do anything quite that obvious.

...

++Legate

k, so he puts Legate on his "sort of" suspicious list, says he's too obvious to be a wolf but then votes for him anyway?? I mean I know I voted for him without any hard core suspicion, but I admitted that. Here he basically says that there are 2 other people he is more suspicious of, that Legate's unlikely to be a wolf, and then votes him anyways. o.O So yeah, I don't like that....so I stopped reading when I saw this, wanted to comment first, will now be going back and reading all of his posts once more. Unless someone else does something crazy I think I'll be voting for Gwath.

edit: wow, crossposted since Mac...not liking Gwath's attitude, what's he got against lists??

edit: Legate's a dude...oopsies

Lynch:

Lommy.
Nilp & Mith - because they asked for it. Plus, Mith is continuing with the quotes. Naughty Mith.
Nogrod - because he foolishly forgot - everything I say is a lie.
Nienna
Mnemi - there is good off-topic and there is bad off-topic.

Don't lynch:

Me
Maglor
Fea
Lari

Do any members of my generation remember that game that used to be packaged with... I think... Super Mario? I was always pretty good at that game.
