Had a rough night, so I apologize for being late. Dang, I thought I had some of this nonsense figured out. Apparently not.

I rather dislike that phantom obviously feels the village needs to be led by the hand, as well. But I'm glad Di-seer found us another wolf before her death, as it seems. Even if I wasn't inclined to trust phantom at the moment (which I bregrudgingly am), Nilp hardly looks at all innocent anymore.

++Nilp

With that taken care of - I absolutely hate lists. Lists are for people who enjoy looking intelligent and organized. They're for people who are motivated and put hours of time and lots of energy into these games. I'm too lazy for them. I'll try to do one even though phantom gave up waiting for Nilp's. Maybe.

I'll be back, and then I should be around off and on for the rest of the Day. Maybe.

Nice nickname. Point taken. We can't all be Roas when it comes to analysing...

As for Rikae, I think she's saying she's the EW to make us think that she's actually a wolf and lynch her. I bow low before her if she's really a wolf (who is trple or four-fold bluffing?), because that would be quite genious.

At least I can: we'd be far less unsure about some people in general.

Morm - have you stated an actual reason to suspect me (have I just missed it or forgotten it?) or do you just suspect me because you always do?

Surely that's not that bad? It simply means it's easier for us to guess whom she has picked.

You could still give us a list with whast you think about everybody. I'm sure you can bluff a little here and there when it's necessary...

But seriously, I'm not doing that. She posts just as much as she chooses to.

Well... how many times do I have to explain this? 1) I was not sure about her. How could I have been? 2) I did not want people to trust my judgement on her just because we're RL friends.

I replied to her about this, but I had thought that surely anyone would see the reason why. Because Di knew Cailin was a wolf, but Rikae could be the EW.
You nicely left the smilies out and totally changed the meaning of my sentence. When I first asked tp why can't we vote Rikae, I was serious. That second time, it was just joking. I thought the smilies would leave no doubt about that... Somehow I'm getting the impression that you're getting a bit over-enthusistic in trying to "prove" that I'm a wolf. Careful.

Well, simply because it really just didn't occur to me, whatever that tells about my power of intelligence... Thanks for pointing that out, that really forces me to take a second look at things... at Sally, Legate, Lhuna and Greenie, for example.

Seriously, I can't see why I've been made such an icon of skepticism. Read my posts and you can see I hardly deserve that title... there's something weird in this image getting so popular.

Kath's list made me feel a little better about her. But that might be simply because she doesn't suspect me... *rolls eyes at self*

It's one of those things that if it works out that something happens then this lends itself to this theory, if it doesn't then I need to rethink it. However, I don't want to give anything away prematurely here either.

No I haven't given any real reason...do I need to? I've clearly stated that I'm going with my feelings here and no I get a different feel from you than my normal suspcion.

morm is a moderator in this section of the 'Downs and has a right - indeed a duty - to delete posts that are not following the general guidelines of the forum eg. are flaming, insulting, rough etc...

I respect and trust morm's judgement in this even if I didn't see the post that was deleted. So just play as that incident never happened.

Quoth the mod, nevermore....?

Hmmmm, I think I missed something. Bah, if it's gone it's probably something I didn't need to see anyway, so I'm good with it.




Lommy Mommy, voting your husband is grounds for divorce. But since he's going to die anyway....meh, we'll let it slide. (Don't tell, but I'm practicing for my BS in law....and I don't mean bachelor's....sorry I couldn't resist)

All right, after we lynch Nilp here's what we'll have.

Good- Me and Ranger
Evil- Rikae and 2 WWs
Ordos- 14

After tonight I'd like to have a Seer and Ranger to help you out. If the Night goes well then for sure I'm challenging tomorrow.

If the night goes poorly Rikae can't challenge me because I have not been proven as the GW (haven't been lynched, scried, or attacked by WWs). If Rikae wants to earn the right to challenge me she will have to waste a scry on me, for I will be using my Ranger to protect me tonight. If the Ranger is guarding me then a WW attack cannot reveal my identity. So, unless she scries, I am ensured two chances to get things right at night.

If I create a Seer and she scries my Ranger, I'll still challenge.

If I unWolf someone and she scries my Ranger, I'll challenge.

If I create a Seer and she kills my Ranger, I'll challenge.

If we scry the same person- I'm not sure.

Maybe I'll challenge tomorrow no matter what. This village is seriously taking up too much of my free time. I haven't been sleeping enough and I'm coming down sick now and could really use some rest. Hm, so maybe I won't bother protecting myself from the WW kill. Her challenging me tomorrow- I'd probably welcome it.

Anyway, those are the various things that could occur tonight. For right now just make sure Nilp gets lynched. That way the WWs won't have any shot at getting two kills tonight.

If I don't post again, I'll be back 2hrs pre-DL, but just for a few minutes. Oh, and Kath, I'm glad I amuse you. I bring Phantom-sized entertainment without the hassle of the ego.

Look! I did it! It was dreadfully taxing, but I managed to trudge through it.

A Little Green - I'd rather forgotten she was even playing. Hah.

Shastanis Althreduin – He’s amusing. Ordo.

Isabellkaya – I like the way she’s looked at some things today. Ordo.

Thinlómien – I really have no idea. I rather thought she was a wolf before everyone (well, a number of people) started to suspect her. I think Greenie makes a good point about her. She’s lost the smoothness I saw in the first couple Days, which was what really freaked me out (anytime the majority of the village seems to want to go along with her, it alarms me). Her confusion may have been played up, but you can make arguments against people who go along with things too easily, too. And I believe some already have.

Nilpaurion Felagund – Well, I voted for him, so… Yeah, I’m trusting phantom, or at least his information, for the time being. Besides, Roa pointed out some very nasty things about him that I agree with, like his eagerness to vote for Rikae, as I agree she is simply a distraction at this time.

Kath – She always rather scares me. She just does. But I rather agree with a good bit in her list (like the Eonwe thing), so I feel okay about her.

Sally – Has been talking wayyyy too much, especially today. I can’t make any judgments, but I’m a little concerned.

Rikae – Hehe. Whatever kind of evil she is, it’s the diet coke of evil.

Lhunardawen – I feel like she’s an ordo. But she also could fall in with Lalaith and Celuien below. I feel like she’s in-between their sort and a Nilp. Quiet and calm with a tinge of crazyness that keeps her from ever being too frightening.

Durelin – Chaotic neutral.

Roa_Aoife – Innocent.

Brinniel – Very serious, smooth, and creepy. Feels like a wolf.

Legate of Amon Lanc – Still feels innocent. Ordo.

Lalaith & Celuien – I’m pairing these up because I feel pretty much exactly the same way about them. Quiet, perfect wolves, though I have no clue. Of the two Lalaith feels more innocent.

Mormegil – He’s starting to channel the phantom or something, without all the blathering, so I’m not as pleased with him as I was.

Gwathagor – His immediate vote for Rikae is interesting, but probably too ‘obvious’ or what have you. He seems kinda generally nervous, though. Course what does that say to me? Not much.

Eönwë & McCaber – Both of them are so booorrring… I feel like lynching them regardless of any suspicion. Kath has a good point that Eonwe seems like an overwhelmed innocent or wolf and it’s hard to tell which…gah. The same might go for McCaber, though perhaps I should toss him in with Lalaith and Celuien, though he is not as smooth.

Look at all that wishy-washy substance!

Oh yes, that...

Edit: Crossed with phantom, Celuien, and Lalaith. Also didn't notice morm's comment about communication with the dead...I quite agree. That's twice now...
