It was
this post that convinced me.
See, a WW cannot technically make an innocence/guilt list or suspicion list, because they already know the answers. And so if their suspicion list is not truly a suspicion list, it must be something else. It is rather a statement of intention, or a tool for manipulation.
For instance, if the wind is blowing towards lynching someone (an innocent), a WW naturally does not want to stop the lynching, but he would perhaps deem it wise to appear as if his instincts are against it, and not support it. And so he'll make some statement like this- "Person X seems like a logical pick because of this, this, and this, but I still haven't felt them to be guilty." This strokes those in favor of the lynching nicely (the WW has agreed that their idea is a good one) while also keeping the WW looking good for not having his heart in the lynching.
Anyway, every great once and a while, I read a list and my radar goes off like crazy and I'm just certain that the individual knows too much. It happened once with a
Borowolf, an
Eomerwolf, an
SPMwolf, and it happened again in this game.
Now, there have been many times where someone has pinged my radar and I've been wrong, and times where someone has pinged it and I've been right, but it is primarily these three occasions that I recall where the feeling was quite overwhelming- and this time it was frighteningly so. As I read your post,
Mac, it was as if I slipped into this other realm and I was the WW reading my own post and knew what my evil thoughts were behind it. But then I realized-
wait, I'm not the WW, and this isn't even my post.
I quivered slightly.
It's gotta be Mac, it's gotta be! Everything just fell into place.
So I got on MSN first chance I got.
"Sally, who's your partner? Is it Mac?"
"Yes."
And it absolutely drove me out of my mind that I had wasted one of my divine moments on a game in which I was not participating.
*sigh*
But if I had been playing I surely would've been dead before that, and so it probably would have been even more frustrating.
