Werewolf XLII: The meaning of life forever

[Thinlómien]

Thinlómien the Elf-Orc stood up to her full height, which wasn't, unfortunately, very impressive. Still, she held her head up high and a grin crept to her face, the corners of her mouth first twitching down, then up, revealing a monstrous row of yellow teeth. She licked her knife. "Squirrel blood... you know I needed a new footbag..."

Then she sheathed the knife. She smiled wryly. "May Elbereth in all her wisdom show us the correct path..." All curelty was extinguished of her expression. "For such guidance is indeed needed. I'm going to face a tough choice toDay. Neither of you really looks wolvish. Not that you'd strike me as obvious innocents either.

It sure is an odd feeling to be here and discuss things in a polite manner while knowing that one of the ones you're talking with is far worse than he seems. I can very well see why Volo added these Days as an extra adrenaline-risers. My mind is buzzing already.

I'm quite glad to be against you two, anyway. I know I can trust Nogrod to be around and provide me something to get clues of. And I do believe TM won't be hypersilent either, though I'm not sure. Well, if he doesn't appear to contribute very much we others can always lynch him. Which brings me to another point.

The Might, you have 24 hours to make me rethink my vote! I will surely go through Lommy's and The Might's posting on Day 0.0 to see whether I should myself change my view (I had time to notice Agan had some major problems with Lommy).

While that indeed is a good way to put pressure on TM and make him post a lot, I really don't like the way you make that statement. Trying to build up alliances and rivalties already? I can see that as an attempt to provoke either of us others to act stupidly. Such an attempt doesn't surely make you suspicious - wolves and innocents alike are going to trick their fellow trial-combatants to react oddly during these rounds, but there's something wrong with the way you phrase it. Phrasing this feeling is quite difficult, but it seems like, you know, you're a wolf thinking he'd probably like to eliminate TM, but leaving all doors open by saying that. After that statement, you can always vote TM if he doesn't post "enough" or defend himself "well enough", or then you can say "ooh, I found something suspicious in Lommy's posts, I'll vote her". Surely it is no crime to enter the game prejudiced, but somehow, your statement rings slightly false to me.

But I'm afraid that doesn't mean I'm any clearer with my suspicions. YesterDay, I agreed with Noggie very much, which eventually lead me to ponder if it means he's innocent (as his mind seems to work the same way as mine) or if he's just a sneaky wolf... But I really didn't suspect him. As to TM, I must he really left no impression on me yesterday. I hope my mind will be clearer after a reread and an analysis.

As to the previous Days... well, the first two ones looked like Volo's playing a cruel joke on us and is pitting three people of the same role against each other. I mean, Legate, Valier and Menel all seemed rather unsincere. I was inclined to believe Legate was the wolf in the trio, though, until he made that very weird final show of his - it left me completely baffled. So I can't really tell which of them was the wolf.

I'm equally undecided about Roa, Naria and McCaber, this time because they all seemed so innocent. (Yes, even Roa whom I suspected on Day0).

You may discuss why someone looks different than "normal" in a game but with people like Roa it would be just preposterous to assume that she is afraid or nervous because she is a wolf. She isn't. She's the real cool killer when a wolf. But if she was a seer she might have tried a more agreeable style trying not to get lynched.

I disagree. While you raise a very good point of her being a cool killer, I think she's a cool ordo and a cool gifted as well. I can't see acting softer as a gifted as her vice (or virtue). So I'm quite baffled about her role. McCaber's disappearance was odd, but I'm inclined to think him somewhat innocent because he was willing to wait for Naria. I think a newbie wolf might well have just grasped the chance and caused her lynch. (I might just be underestimating new players, though. ) Naria, on the other hand, looked foul but felt fair, to quote a certain book. I mean, her actions in her own defense look somewhat suspicious, but they rather give me a feel of anxious innocent Naria than a wolvish Naria - who seems to be always readier to give up when accused. So, after all this writing and thinking (I can't think first and write then, I have to do them the same time, my apologies. ) I'd say Naria is innocent and either McCaber or Roa is the wolf of the three.

As to the latest, displeasingly silent Day, I'm still inclined to believe Aganzir innocent, even though she seemed less suspicious on Day0.0 than last Day. (Even though I have reservations of her, she always manages to fool me completely when's evil...) I can't really have an opinion on Shasta, and THE Ka seems sincere-ish. So... hmmm... any of them could be the wolf, but I'd possibly be the least surprised if they had managed to get it right at random and Shasta indeed was a wolf.

But on the whole, that sure looks a bit too optimistic. I can't believe we'd have been as lucky as to lynch three wolves this far, especially as the gorunds of voting have been quite feeble. So maybe I should reconsider and not lull myself into a false sense of security...

I'll be back a while later to reread and analyse Noggie and Miggie and throw in a few other comments."
