Tol-in-Gaurhoth XLVII: Dueling Wizards Werewolf II

[Brinniel]

Well, I can't agree with all of phantom's reasonings behind his suspicion for Cailin. For one thing, I can't relate to (and therefore trust) his own personal experiences and feelings in previous games. But there is one really good point that he did bring up:

You'd think she would've been in an outright panic if she was truly innocent! "Oh great! Mac's the Ranger! It's up to me! The deadline is almost here!"

That late in the Day, I don't know why she would take an extra moment to doubt him. And if she was uncertain, Mac's identity would surely be found out in the next Night or Day....so why take those critical minutes to think it over? She did vote Aganzir, but risking it only seconds before the deadline. I don't know...it's just in my opinion that when it's that close to deadline that you shouldn't hesitate to trust a claimed gifted...if he's lying, you'll know soon enough.

As for Rikae...her attitude has changed drastically toDay...much more aggressive. Though looking through posts, I did notice her attitude started to turn at the end of yesterDay. I really don't know what to think. An aggressive Rikae is more of a typical Rikae, though I think that applies when she's both an innocent and wolf. I'm actually starting to wonder if we should question when she was acting much more mellow and "less threatening." People noticed and commented on it...is it possible that people noticing a change in playing style would make an evil Rikae nervous and revert back to her old self?

It bugged me before, but I'm really starting to not like how McCaber is just popping in and out...voting with no explanation. He only has six posts and all of them are short. He says he doesn't have much time and even admits to flying under the radar:

Okay, understandable you're short on time....but if you're absolutely unable to explain a vote when you make it, at least explain the next Day. Seriously, giving a reason should not take much time...unless you have to fabricate one. Just because someone is short on time doesn't mean they're not a wolf. In fact, a wolf short on time is the most dangerous kind because they can slip under the radar and milk the fact that they don't have much time. I know this because whenever I was a wolf, my teammates who lasted the longest were the ones least involved because they were lacking time. I wouldn't doubt that the EW has chosen to scry at least one infrequent poster.

The same could be said for anyone posting infrequently. But McCaber's the one who sticks out the most to me, mainly because he says the least in his posts and doesn't give any explanation.

The first Day most, but not all posts, were of my own making. Brinn guessed right at the meaning of the nameless possession and there were some other posts here and there that were not composed by yours truly. Day 2 was all Eomer - this is obviously going to lead to some contrast in style.

This is interesting. I knew Eomer was making some posts (and yes, I can figure out a few), but I didn't realise how involved he really was. It's something I will have to take into consideration...and that's something phantom will have to do as he seems to base some of his suspicion on how Cailin normally acts...
