Do you dream frequently?

And, if I may ask, Lommy, since I was apparently there, what was my role in this dream of yours?

Oh, and so as to not wander too far from today's business, if Mac was trying to catch a wolf in his net, Rikae appears to have taken the bait.

*sigh* I really don't want to be in the position of concentrating on a single suspect all Day. My ancestors have made that mistake before, and when their suspect died, their elaborate thory collapsed and they were left with nothing.

Shasta is still a bit of a concern, due to the reasons I mentioned earlier, plus his suspicions of people because of their in-character actions don't strike me well either.

And yes, Rikae, that was Greenie's post I was agreeing with and not Nogrod's. Sometimes I need to pay more attention.

EDIT: Cross-posted with Shasta.

Nerwen lounged against the icy stone wall of the barrow. "Well, now the conversation's getting a bit more interesting. But why is everyone so nervous?" She glanced around the dank, dripping chamber, with its ancient treasures gleaming eerily in the chill green light. "Sorry. Dumb question."

Their plan would seem to be to defend each other without appearing co-conspirators; the worst thing that could happen to a band of werewolves would be for them to be clearly in cahoots with each other. Am I right?

Yes... but actually, even casually stating your belief in a fellow-wolf's innocence can be rather risky. Once you're lynched and proven a wolf, anyone you said nice things about gets looked at very carefully.

On the other, A Little Green's last post does come across a bit... sugary. Hmmn.

Tip: you also want to watch out for people whose interactions seem "staged", if you know what I mean. Wolves quite often claim to suspect one another.

I don't have time now to re-read the early posts, but I thought Rikae was already lauding the virtues of gut-feelings before Mac started on his "let's suspect anyone who sounds sensible" thing.

I'm still not sure what to make of Mac. Was he trying to set a wolf-trap, as he claims? Or is he furry himself, and backed away from his scheme when he saw ii wasn't working? Either way, it was a rather dangerous ploy. If he's a wolf, he risked drawing suspicion on himself– if not, he risked giving the wolves the go-ahead to lynch helpful innocents.

I'd put a question mark over him– but he might have simply been carrying on the role-play a bit longer than everyone else. His "suspicions" sounded pretty jokey to me.

Well, now I'm going to take a walk in the fog. Perhaps it will clear my head.

I agree whole-heartedly with you here.

EDIT: How many werewolves are there?

Pfft. This is how I start off every game. You may not have noticed, since I die at the beginning every game.

Sally stumbled into the room with a look of utter exhaustion on her face. "How much I have done today, and yet nothing accomplished, especially in the way of finding werewolves! For this I do apologize, but my logic is not up to its usual standard Perhaps if you gave me a minute I could....What was I talking about again?"
She stood in the middle of the group, raking through her hair with her fingers and staring at her fellow players' faces, then to the surprise of everyone slumped down on the floor and fell unconcious.
The others, though concerned, had bigger fish to fry and continued their discussions, frivolous though they may prove to be, and set Sally carefully aside so that she could rest for a while. Once, she sat up suddenly and shouted "KEEL! Keel won vif neem oof soooodaaaa...." then flopped back down again.
"What was that she said?" asked Nerwen.
"Haven't the slightest," admitted Shasta. "Something about a keel and a soda....maybe she went out for a boat ride and had something bad to drink?"
"Hush, you two," remarked Greenie the Stepmother. "We must get back to business. We have a wolf to catch yet before the sunset. Concentrate, you slackers, and leave that silly one to her sleep, or I'll-"
Her scolding was interrupted when Sally leaped up from her resting place, eyes wild and clearly not awake, and screamed....

++Shasta

....then ran toward the object of her rant and looked him square in the eye, opened her mouth to speak to him privately, and....passed out, not to be awakened again until the dawn of the next day.

Note: Hopefully I won't start a bandwagon on this poor guy but I feel useless if I don't vote and I've been completely out of whack the last couple days so I haven't been able to sort out a lot of today's posts. Besides, I know that if I don't vote before I go to bed (for I really am sick and therefore need to get some sleep) I won't vote at all because I won't want to get up in the morning. Here's hoping that the rest of you all enjoy the rest of your Day though, Shasta included (and for the record, I felt the urge to random since I couldn't come up with anything at the moment, so I figured I may as well give someone a good giggle with the pop/soda joke. I promise a substantial vote the next Day.)

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I don't know if it was mentioned, but are there retractable votes? Just for future reference

Shastanis Althreduin · 02-10-2008, 02:16 AM

Shasta laughed. "Oh dear, it seems to be happening yet again... Something tells me maybe I shouldn't have caved in and joined this ragtag band."

He stood up on a rock and surveyed everyone.

"Given what I've heard from everyone today, and that I seem to be catching a bit of a cold, and that it's gone two in the morning, I'm going to have to vote now. The lucky recipient of my vote is -

++Menel

simply because I think he should know by now, given the number of games we've both participated in, that this is how I begin every game, and his reason for suspecting me has been echoed by at least one person Day 1 in every other game."

Shasta then jumped down off the rock and headed for his bed.
