Mith is quite correct. Although I wasn't aware of a change in my playing style I do have a lot more time on my hands at the moment so if there has been one it may be down to that. It's been a long time since I joined a game in order to fill time constructively rather than for procrastination purposes!

Anyway, so. The results of my rather longwinded analyses came out looking something like this:

Guilty:
Lommy
Nogrod
Sixth

Innocent:
Aganzir
Mith
Rikae
Boro

Don't know:
Volo
Legate
Guy
Izzie
morm
Gil
Fea
Shasta

Of the ones I have down as guilty I would be most inclined to vote Lommy, but she has had so little time to post so far that I really don't want to. It could be the time constraints on her that is causing the odd feel in her posting. Given that my vote is more likely to go to Nogrod, who also feels very off to me, but has had far more opportunity to speak.

Oh and I wanted to say something about Gil. If he never turns up I think it extremely unlikely that he has a special role of any kind. Given that, we should leave him be. He may be silent and so completely unhelpful in that regard but he will boost our numbers in later days when it is important.

Ok fair point not Gil (why I am agreeing with Kath? I've jsut said I think her a cobbler? ... actually if I were to go random it might be Shasta - that first post was odd..... but I seem to be making no sense to anyone now.... least of all me *wibble*

You think I'm a Cobbler? I thought I was a were-bear, or perhaps a wolf. Seems I missed something. But if I was a Cobbler I'd be dead by now anyway. Only time I had that role the wolves killed me first Night.

Just me, Mith, Noggie and Volo around. Where is everyone else? It's getting pretty close to the deadline for so many to be missing.

May you have a good time reading through the thread later on.

OK ... I have to go and I have decided that since I disagree with Rikae, noy convinced enough of Dury's goodness to join the Kath bandwaggon and am apparently just too thick to understand Nogrod. I shall take another slightly random path - Volo mentioning TGWBS made me have another look. He has made one random and one rather facile vote. It has worried me that so few have focused on so little - this may open the field usefully.

I just got back in, and skimmed through a bit, tsk tsk Rikae and Nogrod I'm going to have to tell them what is going on as they have absolutely not clue.

Anyway, I'm probably going to vote for Isabell - who made a wolvish vote yesterday and did absolutely nothing to calm my suspicions. I would vote for Rikae, because if she's not a wolf she's only harming this village, but it appears that would be a waste, plus I want to see her eat her headphones, or whatever it was she promises to do when she finds out I am no wolf.

I don't see how I'm harming the village, when I haven't accomplished anything.

So, as morm has said, Mith is most likely an innocent...can't see why she isn't. And that makes Morm also an innocent to me. Hasn't said much, acted a bit strange, but that is no wolvish behaviour Morm is doing.

I would disagree with Mith about tgwbs sudden change from Kath and Rikae looking innocent to suddenly suspecting them. I think this actually speaks to his innocence, when I've skimmed through a bunch of posts I look at pretty much only any post that has my name, and I get a much different reading when doing that than if I go through and look at every single post.

Quote:
It's just the sort of thing I would say, if I were a wolf and you suspected me.~Rikae
Now this looks highly suspicious! See, realize that I am not you, and if I were a wolf, I would not wish to similar to someone else's wolvish behaviour. It's very dangerous to assume that someone (who was a wolf) would say the exact same thing you would (if you were a wolf) in a similar situation. Believe it or not, I am not this bold and daring as a wolf, I am more reserved and meticulous. I don't even want to know how I look right now...probably rather straight-forward and slighly looney (only slightly ). I'm pretty much just winging out whatever springs to my mind right now.

Oh, and you however, are quite right that I am very calm right now...probably because I'm pretty confident we will have one less wolf by tomorrow morning.

And as far as Nogrod is concerned who seems like Rikae's gotten to him a bit...I expect more of the crackpot plans and bluffs he talks about. That is very Nogrod like, so I find him to be a lost innocent right now who's taken too much ear into Rikae's obviously wrong 'case' against me. And naturally, Nogrod's style of thinking of the unconventional, is quite nice to have around (as we get to see an consider other possibilities), but it always butts into my straight-forward (and as Nogrod said one time...'no-nonsense') style of playing.

Edit: x-posted with everyone since my last post

Um, I haven't even really made a case against you yet. Certainly not before my last post.

I have little time now as I am afflicted with the cursed blight of school in about an hour... but I'll vote.

Thus far the most suspicious for me have been Boro, Kath and Nogrod. I'm thinking Kath is the Cobbler or the WereBear. Nogrod looks like a wolf too... And Boro is just a bit strange. Of all of them, the first doesn't seem like he needs lynching yet, while Nogrod might be gone by the end of the Night anyway with all this mass murdering going on, so I'll vote:

I'm around, but I've been reading through the thread and thus been silent.
I would love to vote for Rikae, but I'm not sure if there is any chance to get her lynched. If no one else is willing to vote her, I'll probably vote for Kath.

Izzie and Shasta I'm a little worried about. Shasta hasn't been around at all toDay, Izzie has made one post if I remember correctly. But voting either of them would feel like throwing away.

edit: xed with Boro and Mith

Okay, why complicate it. It looks many people have chosen her anyway.

Aganzir, I would dearly love to save my own skin by voting Rikae but I just don't think she is suspicious.

But I don't want to die. Even though so many people are finding me suspicious I think I can be of help to the village if given longer to prove myself. So I'll vote for someone I at least think is suspicious, and hope it results in my survival, if only for a little longer.

Well. If everyone votes the same person we have nothing to read toMorrow from the voting. It's the perfect hide-out for the wolves.

I agree with Agan that Shasta and Isabell could be good candidates as well (I've almost totally forgotten Shasta toDay).

Not the least because with this rate of killings during the Nights we're losing our active players in one or two Nights and then the village is very quiet indeed...

If there's no other possible candidate besides Kath, I will refrain from voting for today. As any other vote would be a waste and I do not wish to contribute to the lynching of a person I believe is innocent.

Haven't voted:
Aganzir
Gil
Shasta
Nogrod
Boro
Isabell
Fea


Will vote, I guess:
Aganzir
Nogrod
Boro


If we want to lynch someone else than Kath, it would require at least two others coming online. Gil and Shasta probably won't, but Isabell and Fea might come - I don't know.
This is not to say "let's not lynch Kath", this is to say I would like to see them voting also.

So Boro said he could go for Isabell as well as Aganzir?

I suspect her too but my only reservation here is her newbieness so she might have been just baffled and not knowing the situation back then... but the silence of the fiture village kind of concerns me as well and she could be more cunning than I now grant her...

Oh Mith! If I'm dead toMorrow please remeber to check that woman. That vote was soo weird one at this stage...

Let's get back to toDay's bussiness.

Morm -> Kath
Lommy -> Kath
Tgwbs -> Kath
Rikae -> Boro
Volo -> Kath
Mith -> tgwbs
Sixth -> Kath (Kath5, Boro1, tgwbs1)

7 voted, 9 left to vote.

Basically it could be anyone, but practically? Any other good choices around (even if Kath sounds good to me) we should discuss?

EDIT: X'd from Sixth's vote onwards.

I'm here, deciding whether to vote you or not, Kath. I'm pondering Isabellkya, who, after all, seemed sinister also after yesterDays events when she saved Menel, though as she puts it it was unintentional. There's so little input from her - but the input that is, unlike from the others who also have little input, does not feel much good. But I don't know and to be honest, I am tired. So I'll probably not complicate the things and vote you.

Will shut down the light, turn on the alarm clock and when I return, I'll post my vote.

EDIT: X-ed with Volo.
