WW XXXIII - Other Minds and Hands

[Mithalwen]

Oh that is a bit of an advantage..... knowing who the cobbler was ..... especially when the ordos had no certainty about their gifted.....

I guess my early demise serves me right for keeping the "quest hangs on the edge of a knife" for a later that never came...

Well, I figured a semi-immortal seer and two rangers would balance it out...
and, after all, if Gil or Ang had voted for Di today, it could have ended quite differently.

I was actually hoping they'd get a wolf today, so tomorrow there would be two ordos and one wolf...that would have been fun to watch. Well, maybe not, with everyone so quiet...oh well.

It is alwasy hard to judge - at least I found so - I had two whitewash games as mods - the wolves won with 3 gifted and the villages with one...

But the uncertainty over gifteds benefits the wolves since they can lie through their miserable fangs.... *cough* Mac

[Mithalwen]

It worries me that Mac remembers my last three games and I don't have a clue - I know I died in Fea's game - have I really played 3 since then?

I checked the last 5 games and noted down how long everybody got to live. You were the only one to survive until the end three times. I don't remember the games or the circumstances.

Magic.

...and a little bit of "help" by Anguirel...

*raises eyebrow*

Rule of thumb...never be surprised by how much trivia Macalaure knows about Barrowdowners. That man has way too much time on his hands, I tell you.

Yes, I was wondering that too. I thought of doing it or of questioning why no one was doing it, but thought it best to leave it with my point that no one except me seemed to be doing any serious (!) analysis.

Well, I have said who I dreamed of, but:

Night 2 - Legate - because I thought that he might be the Seer.

Night 3 - Mac - again, I thought that he might be the Seer, as he seemed to be the only one with any firm defences of others.

Night 4 - Anguirel, to eliminate the outside possibility (as I thought) that he might be a Wolf.

On the first two Nights, I was trying to find the Seer, since this would have been the most useful information that I could have provided to my allies. Unfortunately, Volo had me fooled too, so I had little prospect. By Night 4, with Rune and Lommy dead (the combined Seer, as I thought) I decided that it was best to work on identifying who the Wolves were. Although I very nearly dreamed of Aganzir, on the basis that I still thought that she might be a Wolf.

Anguirel is always unpredictable. One of the reasons (along with his wit and great approach to the game) that I enjoy playing with him. But, in this game, he was a Wolf's dream ...

Well, we lost Mac, but Volo was bluffing about his second life, so we don't have to worry about a Seer.

I was absolutely certain, after his second 'revelation' that Volo had no more than one life, and tried to hint as much, thinking (wrongly, as it happily turned out) that he was likely to survive the Day.

I could have saved Mac had I shown up in time to retract my vote and switch it to Volo at the last minute, but I had a very bad morning and couldn't get to the library in time. But maybe that's for the best, as that action would surely have marked me a wolf in everyone's eyes.

Absolutely for the best, as it turned out. Kath looked far more suspicious to me, with her flippy-flopping on the issue.

SPM was making Legate into a bit of a scapegoat so it might be nice to keep him... however I believe SPM's argument was somewhat reliant on Volo's guilt.

Darn right it was. He was the right choice, most certainly.

... although that was rather countered by the lying Gifteds ...

I think it was finely balanced. It could well have gone down to the wire, and either way at the end.

Indeed. I remember it well.

I really think we still have to kill Agnazir. There's achance she's lying and isn't the hunter or doesn't intend to hunt you at all

if we don't, you'll surely be lynched.

Actually, there was a reasonable chance that she might be thought a Wolf who posted that to explain her survival during the Night. Well, that was the way that I was thinking, given that I still thought that she might be a Wolf ...

Oh and Mac ... That last minute pang of conscience of yours that nearly saved Volo. Having Cobblered my little heart out all Day for you, I could have killed you! Ang is Ang, and delightful for it. He deserved no Wolfish accomodation.

They - lynched - Boromir!!!!


...and almost without any effort from our side!

I couldn't believe our luck either. That was the Day I was out (at the cricket, don't you know), so it was a real bonus (sorry, Boro ).

I had my Blackberry at the cricket and was checking the thread every so often. Unfortunately, it takes ages to load and I wouldn't have had much chance of posting, even if I hadn't got rather diverted by the combination of Ali Cook's century and lashings of alcohol ...

I actually oppose. It was extremely frutrating when he stated that he didn't suspect me in the least. You aren't supposed to vote for a real person but their WW role.

As Volo said. I felt like we weren't really deserving our success. We could have gone down in honorable and sportsmanlike defeat.

Btw, I might not have been much cop at spotting the Wolves, but Gil was always likely to be innocent, as anyone who had bothered to consider, after Mac's death, the voting record for Day 3 would probably have concluded ...

... as could have my obvious usage of Gil as a scapegoat. But nobody bothered to take a look at me.

Fairness within the wolves' plotting? Ha!
