Eek! Just got home from work - both glad and sad at the lack of posts.

Revealing the PM-pals: I somewhat agree with Wilwa, it could cause a lot of confusion. However, if an ordo is paired with a wolf in this game (I was last game - Nog, dear, the vote hurts but I'll forgive you!) and has a suspicion about their PM pal, it might give their suspicions more credibility if we get it all out on Day 1 who is paired with who.

Or it could just cause massive confusion. I don't know. At the moment, I won't reveal unless it's alright with my partner - though he hasn't been on a lot today, either, much like me I'm afraid.

I don't have any solid suspicions at this point, but we'll see. ToDay is extended by two more hours because Gwath has commitments, so maybe something will come out of the woodworks by then?

Rikae 01-13-2010 08:59 PM

Glirdan, either way, Lottie would be making herself look wolfish in the process... and there's no cobbler, is there?

As I said, devil's advocate. And no, there is no Cobbler.

Inziladun 01-13-2010 09:13 PM

Morsul's absence is a bit disconcerting, but I don't see him as voteworthy just yet.
At the moment, I think I'm leaning toward Lottie. No one else really stands out as much at the moment, and her vote for me wasn't very well reasoned, even if it is me saying so. I never said I was for or against the PM-Pal outing, yet she claims I flip-flopped.
There's also the way she seems to be misrepresenting Wilwa's words, as Rikae notes. I'd like to hear from some others though before I decide.

x/d with Glirdan

Rikae 01-13-2010 09:18 PM

I have to go now - I'm going to go with my gut. Tough to explain, but my initial impression has been reinforced by his newer posts:

++Glirdan

Good night/Night!

Inziladun 01-13-2010 09:42 PM

Well, I don't think I'll be around for DL, so it's

++Lottie

As I said, her vote seemed quite forced, and no one else looks worse.

Isabellkya 01-13-2010 09:42 PM

I'm here and catching up on some posts I see.
My grand/parents just walked through the door about an hour ago, and have been entertaining them for a bit.


Just to clarify. I was not making an argument about/towards the four whom in succession came on and posted essentially the same thing. I was making an observation.

I'm not entirely sure how much substance you are expecting on a re-day one; when it seems half the population has other commitments. I'm sure one day science will make advances in telepathy - so we can monitor ww via our minds. xD

In relation to the PM/Pen-Pals.
I don't mind that Rikae and our penship was revealed. I'm not entirely sure how revealing or not revealing could help in any way. What advantages and disadvantages could come about from either choice.

x'd with Inziladun

Isabellkya 01-13-2010 09:45 PM

Glirdan what is your opinion on Wilwa's vote?

My answer is in an earlier post of mine actually.

That is my opinion on both Wilwa and Nog. However, seeing as their votes are rather too early to tell anything, there is always the possibility that one of them is a Wolf and I would not put it past either of them for two reasons: 1) Both of their votes are safe. 2) They both voted early, thus eliminating the "They joined the bandwagon" situation.

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 09:53 PM

here...reading... so what exactly happened... I have Pms from two people claiming to be my buddy... and this is "attempt 2"...

Glirdan 01-13-2010 09:56 PM

Oh, and just to keep the voting updated:

1. Nogrod -------> Alona
2. Wilwa -------> Sally
3. Lottie -------> Zil
4. Rikae -------> Glirdan
5. Zil -------> Lottie



Hmmmm....I just noticed something rather interesting....Lottie and Zil both voted for each other....both have come up with their own reasonings, true.....But could this be a Wolf on Wolf vote to lure us away from believing so?

Isabellkya 01-13-2010 09:57 PM

Plgh. I keep thinking that deadline is at nine, not in less than ten minutes.

Ahh, okay. I must've missed that. I suppose I should clarify. What is your opinion on her vote reasoning. As she essentially voted for one whom came online, noticed lack of posts, then didn't contribute to the post count number. Which you are condemning me for mentioning. xD

I've got to vote now.
++Shasta

Somewhat random. I know he can contribute more, Mister!


X'd with Glirdan and mistyped Shasta's name.

Lariren Shadow 01-13-2010 09:59 PM

Ah! Deadline?!

++Shasta

Really, just pulling a name out here.

Isabellkya 01-13-2010 10:00 PM

yes Morsul; we started over. The admin thread has more and full details.


X'd with Lariren

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 10:00 PM

++Glirdan in a deadlock of votes it looks like he's trying to toss some suspicion...

alonariel 01-13-2010 10:03 PM

DL toDay isn't until 10PM PST, guys. Gwath posted on the admin thread.

Isabellkya 01-13-2010 10:06 PM

So much for mental notes....

Really?? Do explain this a little more, if you wouldn't mind. Also, why have you been so quiet toDay? Rather mysterious, shifty, Wolfish behavior if you ask me. Care to explain?

Lariren Shadow 01-13-2010 10:10 PM

Well then, I have no idea if retracting votes is allowed, but

--Shasta

I don't really want to vote for him, mostly because that was just a "aaaahhhh deadline" decision.

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 10:10 PM

Sorry had work then RCIA classes(where's Formy when you need him?)

If my fiance doesn't take the computer to work Friday I'll be on quite a bit as I'm off from work.

This caught me as odd... However as I came into something very confusing I thought DL was when a few other people said so those two together made a kind of... ok this is a crappy vote but it's all I got kind of thing...

And if I recall Gwath said no vote retractions.

I see a theme popping out here. Any geniuses out there? xD

I knew I couldn't hide forever
(For the record I accidently misspelled "hide" at first:rolleyes:

alonariel 01-13-2010 10:31 PM

Just an update:

1. Nogrod -------> Alona
2. Wilwa -------> Sally
3. Lottie -------> Zil
4. Rikae -------> Glirdan
5. Zil -------> Lottie
6. Izzy -------> Shasta
7. Lari -------> Shasta
8. Morsul -------> Glirdan

I see the validity of what Glirdan was saying about Lottie and Zil, especially since Lottie was the first and pretty much only person to bring up suspicion around Zil and stick with it. Rikae's suspicion of Glirdan seems a little shaky - Glirdan didn't post all that much and what he did post seemed honest.

Lari's vote was last minute, by her own admittance. Nog's vote was probably due to time constraints and Wilwa's vote for Sally seemed like a best guess on Day 1.

Though I've said I don't have that strong of suspicion, Shasta's quiet-ness alone is making me suspicious of him - where have you been toDay, kind sir? Then again, Morsul makes me nervous with his out of nowhere vote for Glirdan. How is what he said about Lottie and Zil suspicious?

I'm leaning towards either Morsul or Shasta at this point. Not much to go on, but it's all I have for Day 1.

Lariren Shadow 01-13-2010 10:38 PM

So I can't retract my vote? Oh great.

Morsul, can you point me to this? I skimmed the admin thread and couldn't find anything.

Look at the votes when I voted(crossing with the second shasta vote) Everyone had one Looked to me like self preservation "Look people voting for each other quick vote them not me" added to a mistaken DL I went with gut oh well vote me if you want save me some trouble for a week.

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 10:51 PM

Being a bit Macabre at the moment due to sleepiness I do have say I'm somewhat glad to know my absence would make people lean towards"Wolf" instead of atually worrying about my safety:D:eek:

Glirdan 01-13-2010 11:14 PM

Well, with an hour left of voting, I believe I am going to cast my vote as it is getting rather late here (as in it's midnight, I have school in the morning and I really should go to bed...).

So without further delay,

++Morsul

For his nowhere vote for me. No real explanation involved and his lack of enthusiasm for the game. Could be a Wolfish tactic to throw us off the tracks.

Anyways, this is me signing off! Hope to see everyone on Day 2...if not, well, what else is new. :rolleyes:

alonariel 01-13-2010 11:15 PM

I'm not having the best of times right now, so I'm just going to vote and go to bed. For reasons stated earlier:

++Morsul

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 11:22 PM

really there's another hour? I;m way off the DL huh?

oh well Anywho

1. Nogrod -------> Alona
2. Wilwa -------> Sally
3. Lottie -------> Zil
4. Rikae -------> Glirdan
5. Zil -------> Lottie
6. Izzy -------> Shasta
7. Lari -------> Shasta
8. Morsul -------> Glirdan
9.Glirdan----->Morsul
10.Alon------>Morsul

top three:
Shasta-2
Glirdan-2
Morsul-2

and Two more votes to come in If I'm correct? See you on the other side... maybe

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 11:24 PM

For the record I've explained my vote like five times it was(I thought Last minute) which you let Lari slide on Alon...

Glirdan and Alon seem to be thinking too much alike for my comfort.

Shastanis Althreduin 01-13-2010 11:24 PM

Well, that makes my vote obvious, then.

++Morsul

Reason - I have two votes now (thanks, Lari :p) and voting Glirdan would hardly be a proper welcome after his years-long hiatus.

Edit: X'ed with two Morsuls.

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 11:26 PM

Well even if another person votes one of the leaders my vote came first.

I'm a Hunter enjoy the rest of your game Wilwa was my buddy.

let's see anything else before I go?....Nope

Have fun.:D

satansaloser2005 01-13-2010 11:34 PM

K, so the Downs just ate my post. Granted, it wasn't very long, but it still ticks me off. Basically I had said that I don't want to get rid of Glirdan without seeing what he can do (since I've never played with him before) and that I suspect Morsul but am trying to decide whether or not I'm being biased from my feelings from not-yesterDay. Oh, and I said I wanted to snuggle Wilwa. :p


Anyway now things have changed. I mean the circumstances, not my feelings. Also, I need to check what happens in the event of a tie. Anyone?

ETA: Great. I've no idea. I mean obviously I wouldn't want a tie, but I wanted to know what would happen in case. Meh.

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 11:38 PM

Tie is never mentioned in the thread. however Tradition states in the case of ties the person who First got the votes gets lynched,,, and even if for some unknown reason Both people are lynched I'm still gone... Thirdly... well there is no third.

Well some mods do a coin toss, and others (who are weird :p) like to do the last person to receive vote count as the lynchee. Each mod is different.


Erm, I feel squicked by this now. I'm going to think for a couple minutes.

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 11:42 PM

I'll take down my Grimoire post... but I'm copying it ready to paste it :)

satansaloser2005 01-13-2010 11:43 PM

Okay, folks
 
I face a dilemma.

I'm a bit of a meta-brain by nature and I won't lie about it. I keep meta-stuff out as much as possible, but I can't get rid of it now. Anyway, the point is that I'm trying to decide whether or not to seal Morsul's fate. Here's some questions.

Should we keep him around? If so, why? Why not?
How does the hunter in this game even work? (Obviously a question for Gwath.) Does he take down anyone, or just a wolf?
If he's really the hunter why hasn't he told us his target?
Why did he not speak up sooner? (And did he really have the chance? And should he even?)
Is it completely wrong to lynch him now?
Am I insane? (Please leave this one blank.:p)

ETA: x'd with Morsul. Am I being a complete cow or is this bothering anyone else? I'm so bloody confused lol.

satansaloser2005 01-13-2010 11:46 PM

Oh screw it
 
It'll drive me bonkers otherwise.

Morsul, tell us who your pick is at least. If I don't hear a worthwhile case for why I should save you in the next five minutes or so you're dying.

Morsul the Dark 01-13-2010 11:48 PM

I would not reveal my target because if I did and it were an innocent of course the wolves would kill me anyway.. otherwise they would leave me alone and I know... or think I know a probable wolf. being a revealed huner just might add to your annoyance and most importantly I got three votes within a half hour there was no time to defend myself really...


That answer your questions?
