Tol-in-Gaurhoth XLVII: Dueling Wizards Werewolf II

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

This is Lhuna.

Apparently, Nilp wants us to divide him. That is actually worse than simply wanting to be lynched.

I wonder why we never thought that the division sign is more appropriate for making lynch votes.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You chaps should be asking whether I want to be divided along Adam's line, or Alice's.

Of course, I can be divided by seven.. </shameless self-promotion>

Okay, let me eat, before I really vote for myself.

P.S. <3 Dury and her shamelessly letting others promote her. Will you be my mistress?

[Lhunardawen]

A few thoughts:

~ Legate is the most likely recipient of my vote toDay. Been reading on some of yesterDay's posts (thanks to Nilp's handy-dandy chart! who knew he could actually be reliable?), but I'll come up with my reasons. Later.

~ sally, McCaber, Cailin, and Rikae are now in my suspicion list. Will also elaborate later. But for now:

sally because she's distracting.
McCaber for being a submarine
Cailin feels slippery. Mummy, this isn't the you I'm used to seeing.
Rikae...this is tough. I don't like to think that she's taking advantage of her marital connexion to the late Mac to parade the fact that she thought he was innocent and berating those who found him otherwise (which includes me, unfortunately), but that's the feeling I get. Maybe this is a widow's distress, but isn't it too much?

~ I'm currently entertaining the idea that Agan's lynching might be premeditated. I'm trying to work out how that might fit with Mac revealing his gift.

Anyway, I still think the phantom might be a wizard. There might be more to his 'threat' towards me yesterDay than meets the eye.

I wouldn't count on that. A wizard may anticipate that others may ignore them thinking those two would draw too much attention to be scried...and scry them. And of course there's the possibility that one could be the actual EW. We shouldn't solely focus our attention on tp and Roa, but it's be a horrible horrible idea to disregard them.

An interesting idea, but I don't think that's possible. While it's a good idea to keep unscrying in mind...I don't think it could've happened in the last two Nights. Why? Because I think if someone was unscryed we'd only have three wolves...and you need four for two kills. If there were only three wolves...then the second death would have to be from double scrying. But I doubt that's happened as the narrations hints that all kills were done by WWs...and I'm thinking there would be some kind of indication if someone was double scryed. (What does someone look like when they've died by too much magic?)

But then, I STILL suspect Lommy of Wizardry. She could have sacrificed Agan, and Agan could be none the wiser about her actual role, thus rendering Agan's comment moot. Despite what TP says about the folly of the EW sacrificing wolves, we've seen it done successfully in the past and I wouldn't put it past Lommy to be going by that model.

I've been thinking about this possibility too. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see an EW Lommy sacrifice Aganzir by forcefully attacking her herself. At first appearance, it does make her look more innocent. And if it were so, I'm sure Agan-wolf wouldn't even know the main advocate of her lynching was the EW. Or maybe she did....and used her attacks against Lommy to make it look less likely the two were working together. I don't know...it's just a theory. But I'm starting to think that behind that sweet surface of Lommy, there might be something more sinister brewing. I need to have a better look at her posts before I dwell anymore on this, though.

Oh, sure, I have been uneasy about some, like Shasta, who I have actually reversed my opinion about, but this time I actually feel good about it.

Nope. Not telling who yet.

You know, that reminds someone else said something very similar to this yesterDay:

Did she actually reveal her theory? I'm not sure...

And that was a good while ago, so many things could have changed.

Yes, that's what I remember too. Last time Legate acted this way, he turned out innocent.

Something did happen...her husband was killed. Well, now we know what it takes to make Rikae aggressive. But was she in fact partially responsible for her loved one's death...that is something I do wonder...

Yes it does:

Anyways, four wolves are necessary for two kills.

Because none of us Americans (or at least me) have that symbol on our keyboard and we'd never vote on time. Just like we don't have any other fancy symbols which is why I type Eonwe not Eönwë, which originally caused all this confusion on whether he played WW before or not... *whines about American keyboards*

Hmmmm. I may have to break down and review his posts. Cheerful killer that he is.

Hey Di, how did you do that...check how much each member has posted in a thread? Six years on the Downs, and I've never known of that feature before...

I know there was some kind of mention of him stepping to help in if she got too busy (or something) but I don't recall if he was going to announce this substitution or just post seamlessly. Just bringing it up because if it were so it might explain some inconsistencies or seeming differences in manner.

I believe so. See here:

And that nameless possession is what I'd guess to be the ghost of Eomer.

Call me crazy, but I really think we should not come around suspicions only on the assumption that two wolves may know each other. They could...but we can't know that for sure, so I just see it as faulty reasoning to say someone looks furry they look like they might be a wolf with someone else. Get what I'm saying?

I only skimmed through tp's analysis of Cailin, but I do want a better look later...

Brinn, you go outside the thread, to Middle Earth Mirth, and click on the total number of posts for the thread (on the right).

This brings up that screenshot.

And if you want a list of a certain person's posts (all of 'em) you click on the number of posts they've made.

Makes reviewing a single person's posts, like, way easier, man.

Also, regarding nameless possession. I thought she meant that the quote in question did not have a name attached to it. Like the one I just did for you.

Okay, got that...thanks.

And I did at least know of the 'see all posts by that person' feature, thankfully.

Ah yeah, that could be so. I was probably just reading too much into that...

That was assures you only get Werewolf posts, which makes it even better than "all posts." Well do I remember doing analysis of players that way and cursing them every time they posted in a different thread. *shakes fist at Crazy Captions*

Speaking of that, I did look through all of Shasta's posts. He doesn't feel overtly suspicious to me, though he did seem to cling to only two suspects for a long time (Legate and phantom) before seeing fit to analyze McCaber and Gwath. I'm not sure that's suspicious, necessarily, but it bears keeping in mind. The thing that niggles at me is how much he's posted without saying anything overly controversial.

Maybe I'm just a controversy addict, but you know.

Okay. Right now, I've been engaging in long bouts of starting at my sleeping cats and any thinking about WW I've been doing has been punctuated by marveling at how cute they are and how good they make the act of sleeping appear. Merry is making whimpering noises in his sleep ZOMG I may die from such exposure to raw cuteness.

So this is likely my last post for tonight. zzzz

[Isabellkya]

What made you want to analyze Cailin, Gwath?

I echo the statement about american keyboards... no division sign.

I'm of the firm view that they explode.

I'm in agreement that Cailin, in light of Gwath's analysis (thanks by the way, Gwath), looks pretty bad. As does Legate still. Celuien and Lommy, I can't get a read on. I'll try them later, but.... it's late and I'm tired. I may lurk for a while, but I'm going to bed soon. Good night.
