Nothing to do with our last game?

But actually one more thing.

But that's just the "tragedy" of this game. We can't take any hints from the Nightly kills either as the wolves are not a pack but individuals. So any reasonable wolf might just stick into this kind of relations among other people so that we would then interpret them in a way to her/ his advantage.

Sorry about being a bore and trying to be in the bussiness too...

You're right.

Wow.... things are even worse between us than I thought.

Come to think of it, I second Kath ...any chance of a deadline?

White-Hand

Will, this has proven to be an extremely productive day so far.

Not.

Still, hardly suprising, given the circumstances. Fea might as well have chosen the first lynch victim by the toss of a thirteen-sided coin for all that seems to have been achieved so far.

And we still don't know for sure whether the Wolves are a team or whether they hunt alone. I would have thought that to be a rather important piece of information. But I might as well have been running around in lime-green lycra tights brandishing a beetroot and shouting "wibble" at the top of my voice for all the good that it has done raising it.

As regards the suspicion cast in my direction for making a pre-game enquiry on this matter, it is something that I would wish to establish whether I was innocent or a Wolf. If I were a Wolf, however, I would not have shared the answer to my enquiry but rather allow the original assumption that the Wolves were playing as a team (albeit without knowing each other's identity) to stand.

Until advised otherwise, I will contine to base my approach on my understanding that they are in competition.

I do accept that my idea of creating a 13-way tie is off the cards, following Fea's subsequent clarification. It was not, however, a Wolfish ploy (indeed, had it been, it would have been an extremeley stupid one). It was an idea based upon my reading of the rules at the time, and one which I thought might put the Wolves under pressure.

If we are basing our ideas on Fea having some hand in the choice of Wolves, then my inclination is to look at those most capable of messing with the villager's heads. In that regard, the phantom, Diamond, Boro and Roa are the ones that spring to mind.

On the other hand, I take Nogrod's point that one could come up with reasons for Fea selecting any one of the villagers as a Wolf. I also share Ang's tentative view that at least one of the Wolves (if not both) was randomly selected.

As for grudges, they are not something which I particularly hold in Werewolving terms. The closest I come to holding a grudge is having people that I nearly always end up suspecting at some point in a game. For current purposes, that would cover elempi, Eomer, mormegil and the phantom.

Not sure who might have a grudge against me. Elempi, perhaps, from the time of my one Wolvish ancestor. Alos, possibly, Mith and Nogrod for my family's Goosey history.

Finally, I have only had an opportunity to review the latest contributions to our debate briefly, but I get the distinct impression that both Boro and the phantom have directed a fair bit of their energies today at telling us why they should not be lynched.

I shall go back and review the discussion to date.

My understanding, based upon the start time, is that the day will end at 2am GMT. If I am wrong, I should be grateful to stand corrected. If I am right, I should be back around 3 hours before the close of the day and will hopefully be around until the deadline.

Perhaps it might be an idea to try and lynch the wolves we know reside within the player list before we go panicking about those who may or may not exist beyond it? After all, if we lynch two wolves and the game is still going on we'll have our answer anyway. Bb is probably here simply for distraction, and look how well it's working!

I have nothing to say over this, it's purely there in case people missed it in the nice long post Sauce just made. The images!

Quickly weighing in on Nogrod's questions of SpM. I doubt that we can use such information to incriminate him as he would behave the same way regarding this: innocent or guilty. That is not to say he is innocent but I don't believe that this is cause to alarm. I doubt Fea would have SpM be a wolf.

I say we lynch Fea and form our own order and rules here!

Now there's a fun idea - lynch the mod the very first day!! That's the one way to ensure she won't be the one winning at the end!
