[Diamond18]

All quotes are from Roa's analysis of the moi.

Concerning her seer-cobbler idea, it didn't seem at all odd to me. When I read it, I simply thought that she meant if the seer knew who the cobbler was at the time she came forward, then we could simply ignore that person for the remainder of the game, rather than waste a lynch.

Exactly.

What bothers me is how she addressed the concerns about it. She said that all she meant was that when the seer came forward with some penguins, if the seer also knew who the cobbler was, she could point that out, too. This is a wholly obvious statement- the very kind she was putting down when she stated she was bored by the discussion. Strange bit of hypocrisy...

I didn't want to have to go to all that explaining myself, but at least three people (Lalaith, Boromir, and Jenny) brought it up and I wasn't going to just sit around letting people make it look like I wanted the Seer to come out and seal her death just for the sake of outing a little ol' Cobbler. You're right, it was obvious, but 'twasn't me who cast nefarious aspirations on my original statement.

I also find her statement about not likeing to analyze things before some deaths not very Diamond like at all. She knows perfectly well that this has caught a wolf on Day 1, with out seer reveals. I don't know, but it seems the usual Diamond spark is missing.

I don't think I've ever written player analysis on Day 1 before.... I'm always a bit shocked when we catch a wolf on Day 1 without the help of a seer reveal, actually. I've always viewed Day 1 wolf lynchings as rather a bit fortuitous.

And then there was her lists- she told Lal that she had bad feelings about her, myself, Eonwe, Naria, Enca, valier. However, her previous post showed that she didn't know anything about Enca, who had yet to post. How could she be worried about someone who had yet to show? It can't be past experience, because Diamond said that she had never played with Enca before.

Absence is, all by itself, worrisome. So says a known loudmouth. Still, my feelings on some of those people listed was just "niggling" rather than outrightly "bad."

There was also the rather bold statement of declaring herself a penguin.

Again, she agrees with Ang that she's suspicious, a rather bold move akin to her first day assertion that she's a penguin. So, she's not confident enough to know who to vote for, but she is confident enough to make that kind of statement?

Well, I know what I am, so of course I'm confident. My vote for Valier was because I found her slippery enough to be a more likely penguin than the overtly crazed Jenny, and they were the top vote getters. My firmest suspicion lay with the absent Spawn, and a vote for her wouldn't have mattered. I didn't like seeing Jenny suceed so roundly in her suicide, so I didn't want to make a throwaway vote.

All that said, despite me finding Valier's initial post toDay to be overly defensive, her response to me seemed more.... Valier-like. I think I may follow through on my threat to Eonwe or make a vote for Spawn, toDay. There's Enca as well, though I'm not as confident as Firefoot and Lal that she's necessarily bad. Firefoot herself seems oddly snappish. I also want to analyze you, for thouroughness, but I'm procrastinating on that.

One other thing I've noticed about Diamond that's odd- her willingness, almost eagerness, to go along with whatever phantom says.

Yeah, you got me. I'm secretly a phantom fangirl. Oh, I try to hide it, you know... arguing with tp in Survivor, posting lurid dreams involving Aimé... all just to throw you off the track.

Or maybe it's just nice to have a known innocent around whose every word I don't have to worry about.

Compare this to Deuling Wizards, where an innocent Diamond argued against the revealed Good Wizard's ideas of supplying suspects.

I don't see tp compiling a list of doom and implying that I'm evil if I don't obey him.... Are you planning on doing such a thing, tp? If you are, I'm afraid it'll be no more Miss Nice Dimwë.

For someone who is usually an independant firebrand, she's been rather... yeilding this game. A Diamond who goes along with others is a Diamond that just doesn't exist on the side of good.

So, I'm definitely a werepenguin, then?
