Tol-in-Gaurhoth XX: Wereorc I: The elves cannot hide themselves much longer.

[Roa_Aoife]

Wow, I leave for 30 minutes and come back to see I'm about to die. I had hoped to give Findeasea more time to defend herself, but if the village lynches an innocent today, we'll be entering into a very dangerous zone. I know I'm innocent, and I'm almost certain Findeasea is an orc.

So,

++Findeasea

Zali, I'm sorry if you're offended by my suspicions, but you are a "revealed" gifted who's still living. You can see why that looks extremely questionable. If you are the true protector, and the orcs are just messing with you, then we will find the truth. My only intent is to catch an orc, and if I have to back someone into a corner to do it, then that's what I'll do. Again, I don't intend any offense in this.

I'm sorry if I sounded grumpy... No offence was taken, (I'm rarely offended, and I didn't take anything you were saying as a personal attack). WW games .

I do understand all the suspicion that I'm under from several directions. I see now the Orcs' plan here...I do expect mostly to die tonight, but if they can keep hoodwinking me and making me look suspicious until you all lynch me, I guess they will. In the same position, I'd probably start questioning the strange person who was claiming to be Ranger, as well.

So yeah. I'm off to review the thread.

Case Findëasëa - somewhat evil-eyed...

Somehow all of this could be read as a “developement story”. The first day just two posts (one “in character”, the other the vote), quite confusing to say the least, voting Glirdan for no substance...

On the second day she comes to the fore much more secure – and opening in-depht –analysis on how orcs would work

#176
I have been trying to analyze the information posted today and its significance in discovering wereorcs. If I were a wereorc, I would try as hard as possible to make my image separate from that of my fellows in the minds of the other players. This would be beneficial in that if one were to die the others would not be reveled.

In the end goes to vote Jenny as all is well.

On the third day really shows, that she’s got the hang of it. Is considerate and intelligent. The viewpoint still is that of an orc... and she seems to understand, what Jenny thinks, and how she would act. Also insisiting on her interpretation of Jenny’s post – that would make one of the listed “dangerous” an orc (an orc would know, if Jenny kind of slipped by mistake a clean list)

#266
A wereorc would most likely not want to draw attention to any sort of connections that could exist. Jenny seemed in control in both her earlier posts and the ones she made after she was made aware of her impending death. I doubt she would make this kind of move.

I thought it was interesting that she threw more suspicion upon the quiet members of the group. As was discussed earlier, it would make sense if the orcs wanted to throw suspicion upon those in the village with the most contribution, in order to cripple the village and to leave the quiet members to get picked off with little resistance. Jenny’s accusations, therefore, could point towards a loud orc. I know that the statements that Jenny made after learning about her death were meant to confuse and lead us astray, but, given her skill, it would make sense that she put a good deal of thought into her posts so that it would not implicate her fellow orcs.

In the end votes Roa, because believes Jenny’s list includes one orc, and Roa most suspicious (admitting: no good grounds though).

On the fourth day, continues from orc perspective... careful not to suspect anyone (vice versa), but asking us to think about Zali. The rest of the day was spent defending her suspicions over Roa, her interpretation of Jenny’s list (there is one orc in the list of four – namely Roa), and of her belief of my innocence (started to give in a bit just before Naria’s dream). Votes Roa on the basis of Roa turning the discussion away from her own possible guilt.

So what I see somewhat suspicious is her quick turn to be just another person (has been lectured after the first day?) - and so familiar with both the ways the orcs would work, and what kind of person Jenny is!

But very intelligent indeed - after grasping the way this game is played... So very dangerous as an orc!

[Nogrod]

I admit. That was a tough one - and my energies at quite a low level (2.25AM here). I wouldn't never like to vote someone being a newbie - and too smart, but this kind of has the suspicious levels of it...

Comments?

[Naria]

Well I just have time to get on here and vote. Seeing as Fin is higher up on my suspect list then Roa, I will vote for.

++Findeasea

Hope we catch an Orc today!

[Nogrod]

Does anyone know, whether Find and Jenny know each other? I'm getting also very wary about this "I doubt she would make this kind of move" and "given her skill" -stuff. She would know, if they had PM'd, otherwise - ragerding this game and Jenny's posts there... probably not being so sure about that - given her apparent intelligence.

[Nogrod]

Sorry. Computer trouble - started jamming. These thing really know when to hit.

++ Findëasëa

Points soon... if comp. works.

[Roa_Aoife]

I hate it when the site goes down.

Nogrod, Fin only has 19 posts total on the downs. 17 of those are in this thread. Extended interaction with Jenny on the Down's isn't possible, and niether have ever mentioned knowing each other outside the downs.

I was suspicious of Naria before she revealed Nogrod's innocence, and upon revealing his identity I thought her revelation could be a diversion. However, I began to wonder why, if she were an orc, she would reveal the identity of someone who was under much suspicion himself. It could be that she was protecting the identity of a fellow orc, but I find this highly unlikely. I tend to believe now that Nogrod is innocent. If Naria is an orc, I find it unlikely that she would reveal the identity of an innocent (Nogrod) when he was under suspicion. However, Naria could want to gain some points with innocent villagers. I'll have to think about this more. My suspicion of her has been lowered a bit, so I won't be voting for her tonight.

The points brought up about Celuien in the analyses of her were very interesting. I too must admit that her change in tone is suspicious, but I dont want to vote for her tonight when she's not here to defend herself.

I'm unsure of Findeasea's and Caranlondien's innocence, so I won't vote for them tonight. My suspicion of Roa has not changed, so I am inclined to believe she may be an orc.

I have no time left--Relatives are here, and I can't devote my full attention to the game today.

So I'm going to vote.

I'm not going to vote for Findeasea, Nogrod, though your post certainly gave me reason to think. I just don't want to get caught into voting for someone because she would be dangerous as an orc--that got Kitanna lynched yesterday.

I'm going to just go with my previous suspicion and vote for Naria. Granted, she came in, described her suspicions, but still, I feel like something isn't sitting quite right.
