Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXII: Hic Monstrae Trucidant - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There is interesting discussion around the behaviour of both Fea and Morm. They both are playing differently than they normally play. Fea says she’s doing it intentionally, Morm clings on lmp’s notion of WW-fatigue. Both seem dubious to me. Because:

Fea.
I have personally nothing against changing your playingstyle (some may remember that I actually suggested to the Barrow-Wight a possibility of playing with false identities to do just that safely). I myself for instance have tried to tone down my own gaming little by little – and I think I’m making some proggress (well there have been occasional setbacks but still...). But if one wants to totally turn her game upside-down, one would be wise to inform others about it before the roles are given! In-game that kind of declaration calls for suspicion, and with a reason! (And Caran had a point in #189 too). That kind of under-radar going – if you would get us to believe you long enough would be again a masterpiece of sorts (though a bit un-ethical one, but then this is WW...). So in the end, you actually hadn’t changed your style, but only from the surface: still taking huge risks!

Morm.
I agree with Spm that all this WW-fatigue stuff is nonsense. If you were fatigued with the WW, you wouldn’t be playing. Simple as that. So it might be tactics, not trying to make himself look suspicious for playing similarily as he played earlier for the succesful wolf. But Spm left one important thing out when he considered it too risky for two wolves (lmp & Morm) to adopt the same tactics. Maybe Morm just took his chance when lmp was symphatetically offering him a possible reason for his very different behaviour? Lmp might be an innocent helping the wolf-Morm unintentionally?
