No they don't. Nothing has to make sense, people just have become accustomed to things that make sense, and so prefer it. Nothing has to have order either.
So when things that "don't make sense" to you appear, you immediately make a judgement call and try to fit it into preconceived notions and ideals.

Hehehe.
You wish my I had issues with my "story".
There are no issues and you know it.
;)

X'd with Gwath.

Isabellkya 06-28-2009 10:27 PM

I believe the vote tally stands at...

Eonwe -> Shasta
Nerwen -> Eonwe
Shasta -> Eonwe 2
Izzy -> Shasta 2

What?

Nerwen 06-28-2009 10:33 PM

Gwath, what I think is happening is that Cobbler-Izzy believes Eonwe is a wolf and is trying to get me so rattled that I switch my vote to her.

She appears to have given up on actually making a case against me– in fact, she's now, it seems, admitted she doesn't have one.

Isabellkya 06-28-2009 10:35 PM

Like I've said before - don't try putting words into my mouth. Don't twist my words either Nerwen.

Gwathagor 06-28-2009 10:47 PM

Just about bed-time for Gwathy, but here's what's going on in my head.

I thought for a while that Izzy might be a cobbler trying to attract votes away from Shasta and Eonwe, but I see now that she voted for Shasta, so that doesn't make sense. I suppose she could conceivably be a mutineer, but she's been going after Nerwen pretty aggressively - so if Izzy's a mutineer, than I'd bet that she's got another mutineer working with her (at the very least she would have to be cooperating with a cobbler), since a lone mutineer would likely play conservatively. Or a lone mutineer Izzy would anyway, I'd guess.

I really think Nerwen is probably innocent, which is what makes me wonder about Izzy.

Shasta and Eonwe are enigmas for me. I can't remember them doing anything noteworthy - which I guess does concern me a bit, as there's always at least one wolf who plays it quiet. Shasta has done that on at least one occasion. I honestly can't remember what Eonwe's like as a wolf.

ARRRRGH! Yes, I know you're claiming to be innocent! You've said that about fifty times.

The important part is that you keep saying I'm guilty and that Greenie must be lying... but you won't explain how that can be.

And now you "don't have to make sense" at all. How very convenient.

Brinniel 06-28-2009 10:48 PM

I hope an extra hour is enough...deadline is in fifteen minutes (1am EST). I can't stay awake any longer than that. :rolleyes:

Gwathagor 06-28-2009 10:52 PM

Ok, Eonwe, I'm narrowing it down to you. There's no way Izzy's a lone wolf, not the way she's playing. She's either a cobbler or a wolf with a pal. She's attacking Nerwen and she's voted for Shasta, which leaves you.

++Eonwe

I said this before: if there's two mutineers, Izzy's probably one of them. Otherwise they'd know there was a cobbler (Izzy) around and they could come out in the open.

RIght. And I agree.

Isabellkya 06-28-2009 10:56 PM

Congratulations I think are in order for the Mutineers & Cobblers, I'm guessing?

If so, too bad I wasn't either one.

If you are innocent you've played like a lunatic and have no business gloating.

Isabellkya 06-28-2009 10:59 PM

*shrug*

Wasn't gloating. Merely congratulating them if they won.

Izzy can be a bored Cannon Fodder Ordo ya know.
Weird behavior doesn't HAVE to mean Cobblerism.

Nerwen 06-28-2009 11:00 PM

Oh, and congratulations on making me waste much time arguing with you.

If you acted as you did just out of boredom, you were still playing for the evil side– even if not officially.

It's your final Day, so make the most out of it. :smokin:

Shastanis Althreduin 06-29-2009 10:07 PM

Would you like me to wait until you get back to say "I told you so", Lom-mutineer?

Horrible, horrible people. I had such a plan set up for today, too.

Isabellkya 06-29-2009 10:10 PM

Exactly what are you admitting to, Shark Bait?

Hehe. Shark Bait is much more fun to say than Shasta. xD

Isabellkya 06-29-2009 10:22 PM

You shouldn't of killed Shasta.

I really thought he was the Mutineer, and was completely ready to vote for him once Day started, and if I was still alive. ;)

One of "each" left then eh?

Shastanis Althreduin 06-29-2009 10:24 PM

Meh. My plan was to come out at the very beginning of the day as the baddie, claim the win, and have the cobbler vote with me against the real baddie.

Would have been the first time an innocent claimed baddie to win. Ah well.

Isabellkya 06-29-2009 10:27 PM

Ahh.

So which one is which? ;)

Gwathagor 06-29-2009 10:32 PM

This is the perennial question.

Rikae 06-29-2009 10:32 PM

Wow, last day.

*eats popcorn*

Oh, by the way, I actually am a mutineer - the special alpha-mutineer with the power to have an extra kill one night - which happens to be the night my companions stabbed me in the back. Curses!


;)

Isabellkya 06-29-2009 10:39 PM

I think "logically" it would be Gwath the mutineer and Nerwen the probable Cobbler; if you believe Greenie's claim.

If you were paranoid, and trying to delve into conspiracy-land Nerwen would be the Mutineer - and both Gwath and I as the innocents.
..

Because obviously the Mutineer(s) wanted to keep the Cobbler(s) around as long as they could, the same for their Mutie pals.

So why waste a kill on Nerwen or myself? Both of us whom were suspected/labeled as Cobblers. Though myself moreso than Nerwen.

If Nerwen were the Mutineer, why kill Shasta over Gwath; since Shasta looked to be a better lynch candidate than Gwath.



One of you can make a theory as to how/why I would be the Mutineer here.

Unfortunately there is no point my trying this. Very clever, Wolf.

I wonder if you're Gwath after all? When Eonwe's death didn't end the game, I thought it must be Shasta or Izzy. I mean, if I've been spared because of Izzy's fixation on me, that suggests it's not Izzy.

Not sure, because I don't understand how Izzy thinks, and if she's a wolf she's a lone wolf now...

EDIT:X'd since Izzy at 1227.

Right, cause the mutineers totally would have killed a mutineer. Geez. I PMed my strategy to Brinn earlier today and everything, cause I was so happy to have thought of it, and now I'm dead and disappointed. Excuuuse me.

Isabellkya 06-29-2009 10:50 PM

I'm doubting that there were two Mutineers hanging around yesterDay.

Otherwise.. if Gwath is the Mutie - well he just added his vote on Eonwe, so it didn't really matter. Since Eonwe was already sentenced to death by Shark Bait. I doubt Shark Bait would've unvoted and voted for himself, and I don't think you wouldn't done so either Nerwen.

*blush*

Nogrod 06-30-2009 07:55 AM

Okay, I just don't get it. :confused:

Any reasonable lone-mutineer would try to have as "lynchable" fellows around her/him on the last Day. But what did s/he do? Killed Shasta!

Now we have the two only people in this game a kind of case could be made they are not mutineers eg. Nerwen (via dream) and Gwath (via mutineers attacking hunter-Rikae suspecting ang voting for him).

If you Izzy actually are the last mutineer... *shakes head and rolls eyes*


So what other possibilities there are?

Greenie was a co-conspie and made the swindle of the year choosing Nerwen - and getting it right from what, four out of twenty possibilities eg. 1/5! Thus Nerwen is the mutineer. That would explain why she continues to live - but as I said already yesterDay: the dynamics of this game sure are different and there probably isn't the same urge here to get rid of "known innocents".

The mutineers went for Rikae who was a self-confessed hunter. And even if she suspected Gwath heavily & even voted for him, still with mutineer-Gwath in the pack they decided to go for her? Okay. This I find even less believable than Greenie's possible hoax. It's suicidal for the mutineers to attack a hunter suspecting heavily one of their own. I just don't buy it. Although it's interesting why they attacked Rikae in the first place? One would think the mutineers would let the hunter stay as there are risks in killing her.

Blah... It must be Izzy. But why did she play her cards this way were she a mutineer? Beats me...


Interesting scheme Shasta! I would have loved to see it unfold!

Buit it would have been pretty complicated indeed and have different result-options depending on fex. whether there are two inncents or one innocent and one co-conspie alongside the last mutineer.

Heh, just thinking about one option (with one cobbler still in the game):

Player X: "HAhaa, I'm the mutineer, now you co-op, vote with me for Player Y!"
Player Y: "Wait a minute! I'm the mutineer. Let's vote that lousy trickster-goodie X off!"
Player Z (Cobbler): Hmph... :confused:

:D

Isabellkya 06-30-2009 09:00 AM

Nice try Nog. ;)

Then how do you explain Gwath not being eaten by modkilling.. for not voting three days(?) in a row?


Nerwen, why were you wanting to wait yesterDay for Gwath to vote?

Did you think his vote would make a difference and matter, or just didn't want him to be modkilled?

I can only make the same suggestion I did then: maybe there were still four wolves then, and they thought it worth the risk.

*shrugs* Maybe so much of her fake-cobbler act was built around attacking me that she didn't know what to do without me. Or maybe she thinks she's made a far more convincing case against me than she actually has.

I agree it certainly ought to be Izzy... I'm just trying to work out whether that's too easy.

There is one thing in Izzy's favour, and that's her reaction to Rikae's death and yours. It looks evil, but it also looks like the response of someone who was not expecting to find Rikae dead, i.e. not a wolf. However, if she's a wolf she's been working very hard at cobbler-impersonation.

EDIT:X'd with Izzy.

Well– I'd hope Brinniel wouldn't allow a Gwathwolf to win that way.

Both– the former because I got confused about the voting rules, and thought Shasta was doomed without another vote on Eonwe.
