Nienna 05-14-2010 09:39 PM

So I'm tired and I want to go to bed. I'm going to vote now. The people who are making an effort haven't really seemed to be suspicious to me so I'm going to go for the dead weight approach. I hate voting newbies but Paranoia hasn't posted at all and is being a dead weight. I'm more comfortable voting her than anyone else who's participated.

++Paranoia

Celuien 05-14-2010 09:42 PM

Regarding the special extra powers, I think it makes sense to hold on to that for later. Having an extra dream at the end of some past games would have made all the difference then...

I won't vote for anyone who hasn't been here. Of those who have, the only one I can't get anything on at all is Elfie. And so...

++Elfie

Mirandir 05-14-2010 09:52 PM

++Nienna

I really don't like it when people vote newbies Day 1. Especially when there are plenty of veteran players who haven't contributed just as much.

Nerwen 05-14-2010 09:57 PM

Back and reading.

Paranoia 05-14-2010 10:04 PM

Uh, hi folks.

Issabell - As per usual, she will be herself; but I'm kind of disconcerted by her lack of analyzing every little thing, or at least people and their actions. Somehow this just feels off from how I know her. Keeping my eye on her.


This Lottie Person of Which you All Speak - Posts seem really fluff centric; even beyond the usual page one or two stuff; really unnerves me. Maybe I'm just new here and this happens a lot but idk. If I had to guess, out of the fluffer wuffers I'd vote her. Another issue I have with her is she seems to be subtly trying to get dreamed; Makes me think of her as an early likely candidate to be the cobbler. But that's mean and I've been wrong about this **** before. Edit without really editing: What in the hell? I see a lot of posting from you, but it's almost all game mechanics. IT's like you're trying to look helpful without being helpful; I understand giving newbies the ropes but I'd prefer giving them the ropes while providing examples of scumhunting and picking apart posts. You claim we are blind when we are not. There's always something to pick apart and anyone who claims we are shooting blind day one or two is taking the lazy way out when we don't have time for the lazy way o' doing things.

Nienna - I don't like the entire "I'm being suspected day one so of course I'm innocent." comment, but other than that was all business. Still feel uneasy about her, but I'm unlikely to vote her at the moment. Him. It. Edit without editing a thing: Nice vote on someone who hasn't had the time to post yet; classy. What makes me dead weight any more than someone else who hasn't contributed much? Are you protecting someone who's silent?

Blind Guardian and Borimir - Borimir, what exactly do you feel good about with BG's contributions? I really haven't seen much that contributes to the game, despite her post about "getting back on topic" which she promptly didn't do; there have been some game posts since then and she hadn't posted a thing about them. I'm not sure if you're covering for her or not, but you two definitely seem linked together.

My five picks at the moment, meaning I'm voting from this pool.

Out of everyone here, I feel the best voting either Lottie or BG; both don't seem to be putting forth anything of import or bringing much to the thread but a distraction; I don't like distractions. I prefer distractions are dead, in fact, and Lottie really hasn't brought much to the town that I can see.

I really don't like Nienna's entire position on me, but omgus sucks, so I'll just fos her/him/it in return. :P So my vote is going to...

++Lottie

Nerwen 05-14-2010 10:17 PM

Um. Three votes on Lottie now, and all of them out of thin air?:eek:

*shakes head*

Then there's Nienna's vote on Paranoia. I mean, what the–? Since when do we vote n00bs on Day One?

Then, Paranoia's whole long post is just weird. Um... who are you, mate?:confused:

Finally, I think the relationship between Paranoia and Nienna is kind of interesting. She votes him/her for no reason, and he/she says

It's not that odd; I consider Nienna to have been almost all business. I respect that, but I don't like her/his position on me simply because it feels like a copout based on what's already been said in the thread. It's essentially a safe, throw away vote. It's the sort of vote you cast when you already know where a lynch is headed.

I explained in that big long nightmare full of editing and spelling errors who I considered suspicious at the moment and why. Although I have reasons, I can understand your apprehension, because I see absolutely no reason from the other Lottie voters; it's either random voting or idk. I'm probably going to take my vote off of them since they've started getting down to business, but I still consider them suspicious.

++Unvote

So who will I vote instead?

++Boromir. His refusal to vote BG based on BG just feeling alright to him rubs me the wrong way; I could see it as him protecting her as his/her packmate and I can see it as him trying to get easy townie points with a newbie player.


Also Hi, I'm Paranoia aka Adrasteia. I played in the spies series (once. -_-) and MMG0. I'm used to mafia; but werewolf is basically the same game. That's why I'm here; to play the game. And other stuff I guess.

Shastanis Althreduin 05-14-2010 10:36 PM

Glirdan - Lottie (Lottie1)
Boro - Lottie (Lottie2)
Lottie - Morsul (Lottie2, Morsul1)
Nienna - Paranoia (Lottie2, Morsul1, Paranoia1)
Celuien - Elfie (Lottie2, Morsul1, Paranoia1, Elfie1)
Mirandir - Nienna (Lottie2, Morsul1, Paranoia1, Elfie1)
Paranoia - Lottie (Lottie3, Morsul1, Paranoia1, Elfie1)

TEN PEOPLE LEFT TO VOTE. THAT'S MORE THAN HALF. SHASTA'S NOT HAPPY.

Have not voted:
Wilwa
Morsul
Inzil
Blind
Sally
Cabbie
Nerwen
Izzy
Tum
Elfie


Currently Lottie would be executed. Deadline in 27 minutes.


*facepalm* This is my fault for forgetting Paranoia is new to the forum, but you can't unvote. Once you vote, your vote's locked for the day unless there's a specific rule that grants unvoting abilities. :(

Hahahah you could but I don't know how much that would tell us.

So how would voting for someone who has yet to talk tell us **** all about what's going on? If I could switch my vote (Which the Mod just informed me you can't hurrrr.) I think I would omgus Nienna now and switch my vote to them, simply because part of what they have had to say has been self contradictory.

The Elf-warrior 05-14-2010 10:52 PM

Paranoia, maybe I'm just being blind, but I'm inclined to think Blind Guardian's mistakes are so mistakey that it makes her unlikely to be a wolf. I think it's more likely she's a cobbler. I'm inclined to believe she's an innocent.

However, I'm getting some faint suspicious vibes from Boromir. In my werewolfing experience, it is common for wolves to bind themselves with an innocent so that if the innocent dies, the wolf is given a patina of innocence and vice a versa if the wolf dies. This could be the nature of a possible connection between Blind Guardian and Boromir, she's innocent, he's hairy.

I have gotten practically no suspicious vibes from Lottie. Morsul's intention not to vote seems out of character to me. I could be wrong. I've only played with him once before. I'm inclinedto think Paranoia is innocent because he's thinking in line with me on Boromir.

I'm not really feeling suspicious of Nienna. I don't blame Xed for voting for me. I haven't been helpful.

++Morsul

Isabellkya 05-14-2010 10:53 PM

Here, I'm pretty much a submarine bro. But.. hello to you too, Paranoi. xD

Just FYI for people who haven't played mafia. OMGUS = Oh my gawd, you suck. It basically means that you are voting for someone, because they voted for you. FoS = finger of Suspicion.

Nienna is a she. Paranoia is a he.

It kind of looks like Loslote is going to be a First Day lynch ritual? o.O


X'd with EW

Nerwen 05-14-2010 10:53 PM

Anyone around? I'm not particularly happy with the Lottie-wagon... only I don't know who else to vote for. (Nienna for voting a n00b on Day One? Boro for vote on Lottie, plus his highly suspicious talk of "curling up in a ball"?)

EDIT:X'd since Paranoia.

Loslote 05-14-2010 10:53 PM

Dang it guys! Again? I attract votes like honey attracts flies, seriously!

Also, Noia, dear, you need to be invisible. User CP -> Options -> Invisible Mode. :)

EDIT: xed with Izzy and Nerwen

EDITEDIT: Oh, and Elfie. Hi!

Boromir88 05-14-2010 10:55 PM

If votes don't start coming in, I'm going to be PO'ed to no end...To be unable to vote due to certain unforseen circumstances is one thing, the conscious decision to refuse to vote is ridiculous and weak.

Paranoia, the feelings are mutual.

I'd say either is much better, but I can't retract, so you're mosly on your own (unless Izzy wants to vote her, too). :rolleyes:

EDIT: xed with Boro himself

Inziladun 05-14-2010 10:56 PM

Gah! Had to work late, which took me away from the office, and thought I'd just check out a laptop so I could WW. Turned out the computer power supply is apparently kaput, so this is the first chance I've had to get on in about 6 hours.
Long story short, I hate voting and having to be in such a rush.

I don't quite see where the Lottie-wagon came from, and I don't want to vote for her at the moment.

I don't like this:

Castigates others for insubstantial votes, then herself votes someone who hadn't even posted yet.

You have to put tags (any) around your vote and then substitute "HIGHLIGHT" for "CODE" or whatever. Anyway, your vote missed the DL, so it doesn't matter.

Day 1

As they fell into depthless Moria, the wind of their passage still blowing back their hair and clothing (the novelty of continuous freefall had pretty much worn off by now), the discussion turned to wolves and how to kill them.

"Even a werewolf couldn't withstand a really good blow to the skull, right?" Nienna wondered out loud. Meanwhile, after a flurry of votes, the rest of the freefallers had decided to get rid of her on suspicion of wolvery.

"Why don't we find out?" Lottie asked, reaching over from where she was falling and giving Nienna just enough of a push to alter Nienna's trajectory into a falling Celuien, who promptly bounced her over to Glirdan, who gave her a push with his foot into Paranoia, who shoved her into the side of the cavernous cavern.

There was a sickening crack as Nienna's head came in contact with a jutting overhang. Her body continued to fall along with the rest of them, but there was no change.

"Someone shove her over with Shasta, I can't reach her from here," Nerwen said, flailing her arms a bit.

I believe it's the last one to reach the total that gets it this game, so that would make it Nienna– unless Lottie got another vote I didn't notice.

Anyway, we're not supposed to talk now. Hush.

WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING? FOOLISHNESS.

*modly hand of wrath*

I ENFORCE BEDTIME.

Now then.

Night 2

Amazed that people could sleep while falling at speeds in excess of 5 m/s, the four wolves navigated their way into a pack.

"Who are we killing?" was the main topic of discussion, even though the wolves had to compete with the rushing wind of their passage, using raised voices.

Eventually they decided, and pushed off random things (and sleeping bodies) to end up falling roughly in a circle around Isabellkya. That's when she opened her eyes.

"I knew you were a wolf!" she said excitedly, staring at one of the wolves in particular (who began to be uncomfortable).

"You're the whole reason I jumped down this forsaken hole in the first place!" Izzy gushed happily, while the other three wolves looked on bewilderedly. "I was hoping you could change me, you know, so I could be like you guys!"

"Well..." the wolf said hesitantly, "I... don't actually see a problem with that. Okay!"

"Great!" Izzy rejoiced.

Distracted by the thought of a new member, the four wolves decided to help train their new protege in the art of falling evasion, boosting her agility, that sort of thing. To that end they practiced dogging outcroppings during their fall, edging just close enough to them to whistle by them unharmed, pushing off the walls to dodge at the last second.

...Unfortunately, Izzy's night vision wasn't nearly as developed as that of the wolves, and during a particularly daring dodge-and-leap, she misjudged the distance between herself and the wall, and wasn't able to get enough leverage to push off, leading to a resounding...

SPLAT.

The mournful howls of the wolves echoed along the cavern as they lost their new friend. Poor wolves.

Boro has to be a wolf. Only his luck could be this bad. :p

I'm actually off to bed, but wanted to splain why I wasn't around yesterDay as planned. Basically....erm, I was busy with some friends (Sir Phantom included) and just forgot to grab my trusty Abigail and make some posts. Sorry. :(

1. Agreed. :p

2. You may be kidding, but I'm not. I really do think Boro is a wolfie (and not because of luck). He voted for me, and even admited it was a bandwagoning move. Since when does Boro bandwagon early? He sure seemed entirely adverse to the idea last game, when he was innocent. :rolleyes: I'm off to analyze him...

(For those of you who've missed the joke, I was once a cobbler for a pack Boro was in, and I met the same fate as Izzy. Hehe. Makes me giggle.)


Also, a note. I'd really, REALLY appreciate it if people could refrain from the foul language, please. This is a family forum and things are supposed to be accessible to and appropriate for children. If the Downs edits it out, you shouldn't be using it, and just because it doesn't doesn't mean you should be. Thanks.
