Wait, or a gifted-wolf pairing (making either me or the Ranger's lover a wolf)....but like I said Day 1 I don't think that is likely because Gwath said in the admin thread that wolves may be paired with ords, but nothing about being paired with gifteds.

gah, just confusing myself again...nevermind

But that's interesting, cause he agrees that there are no wolf-wolf pairings, but then says there is an ord-ord pairing. But to have both there would need to be a gifted-gifted pairing aswell (do the math, I'm right), which could only be possible if I'm the Ranger.

So....this is an interesting position you've put us in Nogrod.

Yeah, I read that wrong. I thought he was implying he knew there were no ordo/ordo pairings, which was of course strange. Silly me, go back to remedial English. *headdesks* And believe me, there's no gifted/gifted pairing, as you so helpfully pointed out. There could be gifted/wolf or wolf/wolf though.

Unless:

On the second one: Lottie was an ordinary innocent and I am an ordinary innocent. I do trust what the mod writes in the roles department after the narrations and the PM's he sends me concerning my role - so I tend to say I know it.

Also I know you don't know it. But I only said I know it.

Well I don't know it because there still could be an ordo/ordo pairing, which wouldn't completely surprise me. I just find it interesting that there were specifically enough roles (i.e. wolf, gifted) for half of the village to have one. It seems too neat for me. Or am I overanalzying?


Anyway I need to take care of a few things then I'll finish Lari.

To be open-minded, I did ask Gwath about that and he replied saying that anyone could be paired with anyone. I still think he'd have done it equally though. Dunno.

That's how I'm thinking it too. That way everyone either has a role or is Lovers with someone who does. It just seems the most likely to me.

Alona, what do you think about this?

wilwarin538 01-17-2010 04:50 PM

Plus plus plus, in the admin thread Gwath wanted either 12 or 14 players, and he wanted a traditional lover role. I bet he got rid of that because we ended up with 12, if there had been 14 those last 2 ords not paired with a gifted or a wolf would have become the traditional Lovers.

It just makes more sense to me this way. I'm not saying I'm definitely right and that we shouldn't consider other combinations, I just think this is more likely, from a Mod's point of view.

Her comment makes sense, I guess, after my post about the lovers and her post, too.

This was what I originally posted:

Sally/Glirdan - gifted/innocent
Shasta/Alona - unknown/innocent (yeah, I know, no hard proof yet)
Morsul/Wilwa - hunter/unknown
Rikae/Izzy - innocent/unknown
Nog/Lottie - unknown/innocent
Dun/Lari - unknown/unknownprobablyinnocent

If there are ordo-ordo pairings, then they would have to either be Shasta/me, Rikae/Izzy, Nog/Lottie or Dun/Lari...which is way more confusing to think about than if we narrow it down. I think it makes the game the most fair though, giving each ordo a gifted or lupine lover. It evens things out the most, which is what Gwath would want, I assume.

That's what I though initially as well. And now as we talk about this, that was one of the reasons I suspected Lottie as she didn't look like a gifted - so I thought she could be a wolf then.

My dilemma right now is that I need to go to sleep like asap. and actually my guts say I should vote Izzy for her defence of me from Sally's "analysis" - instead of you guys who are planning to lynch me and letting the wolves win... Gah!

I mean look at this:

Why would an ordo say something like that? Or look at the detached tone of it... A wolf might wish to ease up any possible further suspicion by me (maybe some analysis I might do?) by showing that kind of understanding and good will to make me feel nice with her. (And sorry Izzy if you're innocent - with these suicidal guys you'd then be the only voice of reason here.)

Me too, and I have some pretty compelling arguments about the situation working out like that. (Also, good point about the initial two extra lovers, Wilwa.) In fact, Nog's the bit that's confusing me. *grumbles* Blah. I need to think.


I wish Gwath was around more often to answer questions. Meh.

Nog, Izzy isn't the ranger, so if you need to go to bed she's a safe vote.

wilwarin538 01-17-2010 05:01 PM

Then if we go off of that it makes Nog a likely Wolf, since he "probably" isn't an ord, and since Sally has called the Ranger a "she", so he can't be gifted.

Then whoever is paired with the Ranger is an ord, I already know I am. So the last two wolves would have to be either Izzy or among the pairs of Dun/Lari and Shasta/Alona. And I'm assuming Sally's dreamt of atleast one of them.

Sally, your mystery dream is driving me nuts with curiosity, but I'm being patient cause I trust your judgement. ;)

x'ed with a couple

Quite possibly, but I'm not sure on him yet so I'd rather not vote him toDay. He's said some things these last few posts that make me think he really is innocent.


And that's my purpose! :p

wilwarin538 01-17-2010 05:07 PM

Right now, I'm thinking that Nog, Izzy and Inzil are our wolves, based on a mix of gut, suspiciousness and my theory.

I have 1 more hour and then I need to run for a few hours (staff party, whoopie!). But I'll be back for the last few hours before DL (which is in a little less then 5 hours, right?)

Nogrod 01-17-2010 05:08 PM

Sally. If you're the seer (which I hope you are - it's just your act that doesn't make you look like one), please reconsider what you've been doing the last hour or so. And I'm not talking about you suspecting me. I'm not going to say more. You should understand.


I don't know.

It's easy to see hybris (hubris in American) has taken Sally and she is blind now. But alona and Wilwa follow so nicely suit.

Of those wilwa is the seasoned one so I'd think she should be able to calm down - or to take advantage. And she is also the one who seems to press on when the going looks good for her.

So it will be wilwa or Izzy for me. Probably wilwa.

I'll think about it for a moment.

And yes, five hours give or take.

Ahhhh. Okay, that's what I assumed you meant and it was a different spelling. :)
(Also, of course I'm the seer, you silly thing. I said I was and there'd be no reason for me to lie about it unless I was protecting the real seer. Which I'm not.)

And I do understand. The problem is that you don't understand what I'm truly doing, or at least I don't think you do. Not that I'm saying you don't know what's going on, but....well, you know how much I like to enjoy myself. :rolleyes:


If my opinion matters, I'd prefer Izzy. I think Wilwa's probably innocent.

wilwarin538 01-17-2010 05:16 PM

Uhm. Sally I really hope you have a wolf. Cause if you do the math, we lose if we don't lynch a wolf toDay.

I do. Honestly, I do, so don't worry. If I didn't I would have told you by now. And I have more or less absolute faith in our sweet ranger because they love me and are clever. ;)

I actually disagree here even if I'm suspecting Izzy as well. Wilwa looks so opportunistic to press for an interpretation I know is not true that it makes me suspect her more (for is she were a wolf that would suit her just perfectly!) - not to talk of her voting I referred to earlier.

Or are you implying Izzy is in fact a wolf?

Isabellkya 01-17-2010 05:22 PM

I'm back from lunch, and yay for lots of posts to read.

X'd with Nog and Sally.

wilwarin538 01-17-2010 05:22 PM

Of course I trust you.

But should you reveal them now then....cause I'm sure Noggy would rather vote for a wolf, and the more people to vote for them the better, just in case, we don't want people coming on and voting before you reveal it, just incase the votes end up getting swayed by the baddies or something....up to you, I'm just saying, nothing else much going on and no harm could come from you saying it now, but Abigail could die on you or something and then we're cooked.

Yes, I am aware that I am paranoid....

Nogrod 01-17-2010 05:28 PM

Okay. Bedtime for me then.

If you Sally don't think it wise to reveal your dream then let's just cross our fingers there are enough ordos to vote for the wolf... YesterDay three people didn't vote and with these numbers the wolves could easily outvote us if not everybody voted.

Sorry Sally, but not a Day for nice traps. I can't stay awake for long now - and if I vote the wrong way we might lose the Day and the game as then it takes only one ordo not to vote and we can be busted.

There she is, Miss Dreamt Wolfiekins
There she is, your lynchee
The dream of a seer who's been waiting (impatiently) for her to come back home
For she is, you see, the one the wolves call their own

There she is, Miss Dreamt Wolfiekins
There she is, your lynchee
With so many PMs she took our Rikae away
With her buddies _____ and _____. Well, hey....

Folks, here she is
Waiting to lynch, she is
Furriest of the fur, she is
There she is - Miss Dreamt Wolfiekins



Took you long enough to get back, woman. Geez.

Nogrod 01-17-2010 05:31 PM

Okay good Night.


Let's not forget Lari and wilwa ...

EDIT: x'd with Wilwa. I do believe that makes four votes. Seems the best Iz could manage now would be a tie. ;)

RL is calling (though I'd rather be on here) and I'll do my best to make it back before DL.

satansaloser2005 01-17-2010 05:43 PM

Heh. Well I'd hoped I could wait until Izzy came back and talked a bit more, but since I couldn't subtely press Nog into voting her I decided I had no choice. Meh.

wilwarin538 01-17-2010 05:45 PM

Oh, and Sally, your Sweeney parody was lovely. :D

And I'm actually going to run off now for a while. I might pop on for a bit later on, incase anything exciting is happening then. But if not, then good Night everyone, and I hope to see you all alive and well next Day. :)

Isabellkya 01-17-2010 05:46 PM

Just seemed funny that you were all wolfwolfwolf, then didn't vote.
