Tol-in-Gaurhoth L: Battle of the Fandoms

[Gwathagor]

Boro: His manner of careless and easy accusation stands out. He could be a wolf trying to appear casual and flippant, like an ordo confident of his own innocence. Or, it could be genuine; maybe he's just taking advantage of the relative inactivity of the first few hours of the game to have some fun? I can't decide yet.


Rikae: Has, in a tone of irony, proclaimed herself innocent. And I quote:

"Yay! I'm an ordo, I've got nothing to lose! (Would she say that if she wasn't?)"

1. I've got nothing to lose. This is not true. An ordo has plenty to lose.
2. Would she say that if she wasn't? I imagine it's been done before.

As far as I can tell, her purpose is to create just enough uncertainty regarding her innocence/guilt to keep us from lynching her. At one point I would have pointed out that such a bold statement would be unlikely to come from a wolf, because it draws attention and attention is dangerous. My mistake was that I assumed that all wolves play the same way I do: low key. So, the question is, what kind of wolf does Rikae play as: bold, or boring?

EDIT: Crossed with Rikae and Fea.

I agree with you whole-heartedly on this point.

Let he who reads this be a wolf!

In fact, I am sure that a wolf reading this will understand, and I should say no more, but let the black soot on everyone else's hands tell the tale. Ah, but this tale is written in green on black, and therefore, I must be the wolf!

Is Rikae playing...IC or something? Because this post doesn't make any sense to me. (Of course, it might be just be my limitations as an ivory-tower academic...)

BAD WOLF BAD WOLF BAD WOLF BAD WOLF

*whacks computer, busts out her replica of the sonic screwdriver*


Sorry about that. Bit of a problem with Hunter (my computer) and his translation circuits. (Yeah, I know, the bad wolf jokes are going to get old fast, but hey!)



Just popping by to say hello and....they killed Leonard Nimoy!!?!??!?!?!?!?!!

That's just....just....*backs away*....awesome!


(Alternatively, good Day/evening everyone, hope you're enjoying the game so far, I'll be back again later, DoctorDonnaFriends, etc.)

[Boromir88]

Rikae...boring? haha. I recall one of her wolf stints in a village long ago. She convinced us all to lynch someone else, and tried to go down in wolf lore forever, by killing me, realizing she was as good as dead the next day. Although she failed miserably at killing me (thank you Ang ), and thus didn't achieve a glorious death, I commend her for knowing she was check mated and tried to carve as much destruction as possible before she was killed. Oh where was I...I believe if you look up antonyms for "boring" in the thesaurus, you would find Rikae. Some wolves (such as Nogrod) just don't know when they're beat.

I now fully intend to hijack this discussion, if there was something worth hijacking.

Edit: x'ed with Sally

[satansaloser2005]

And will therefore vote before work tomorrow afternoon, based entirely on whim (or possibly dice rolling) unless somebody besides me says "I'm a wolf."

Anyone besides me find that interesting? I'm just saying....

It's Day One. They're downright awful.

I thought I was being generous, tossing out a toy for you all to chew on.

[Rikae]

Well, unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow and so must vote now. I was hoping my little "test" might stir up something interesting, but all it seems to have yielded is: Gwath looks rather innocent, Sally a little less so (more for her reaction to Fea than to me - that slightly exploitative behavior was the reaction I was looking for, at any rate), and Boro is a flatterer. Everyone knows one should never trust a flatterer.

If only Shasta had posted, I could vote along with his suspicions, as I have told myself again and again after previous games I should do. I've come to believe he has psychic powers.

As it stands, I really have nothing I feel particularly comfortable basing a vote on (but then, chances are I wouldn't by the end of the day, anyhow ). I suppose I will just vote for:

++Sally

However, bear in mind, she looks quite a bit like a typical day one lynch, and those are usually mistakes. I have nothing else to go with now, but I will be rather suspicious, toMorrow (if alive) of anyone who seems too eager to make a bandwagon out of this without justification. Nighty night, all!

It's convenient how this post essentially exonerates Rikae for voting against Sally and condemns everyone else who does the same. I'm using hyperbole, of course, but just enough to make my point.

EDIT: Crossed with Sally

Heh. The last time I took a toy from someone it was a laser spanner and the guy tried to bribe me to get it back with a cup of tea and a trip to see Shakespeare. Literally, Shakespeare. I don't play with other people's toys.

P.S. That post above (the one about Fea) should have had a ":P" with it. Just in case anyone's actually wondering. (Whoops....)



EDIT: x'd with Mistress Rikae....aw, c'mon now.

[Nogrod]

Secondly this one from Gwath discussing Rikae caught my eye and the things he has been doing after it have raised my alarms a bit more. (underlining mine)

My first question was the following: are we now supposed to think that as Gwath now plays clearly actively (raising points about people) he is not a wolf as when wolf he (always?) plays low key? Interestingly enough his post began with suspecting Rikae somewhat just on the grounds of her trying to declare herself innocent - and now he does about the same thing himself in the very same post albeit indirectly!

But it gets more interesting.

Nerwen pointed out that Gwath knows about Rikae playing a wolf and wondered why Gwath bothered to ask about it? And Gwath answered:

I was thinking out loud - or, rather, on-screen.

Which I find quite a peculiar one as answers go. So his question that he made about Rikae after his own indirect "I'm innocent" is somewhat fishy then? It makes me wonder at least.

But the last one is the one I got worried about.

Now comparing this with the other underlining in the first quote really sends shivers down my spine. So when he's a wolf he's quiet and now he has to explain that as he has to go it doesn't mean that he is being flying under the radar...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

++Boromir88

Because I have enough faith in his ability to figure out why, and because there's always a really great chance that I'm right.

[Nogrod]

Btw. This Con is not only quiet in regard of the quantity of speech but also in quality. Too many I think have gotten through this Day with no effort at all just bantering or being IC. And to top it: the old "Day1 hater's club" has clearly been re-established from the grave where it should have stayed for ever after!

Anyway. I think the voting stands now at:

Rikae -> Sally
Shasta -> Boro
Brinn -> Mac
Gwath -> Rikae
McCaber -> CoD
Lalwendë -> Brinn

So six votes, six candidates...

EDIT: X'd with Isabell & Fea...

Corrected Vote-count:

Rikae -> Sally
Shasta -> Boro
Brinn -> Mac
Gwath -> Rikae
McCaber -> CoD
Lalwendë -> Brinn
Fëa -> Boro 2

[satansaloser2005]

My top four(ish) votees:
Boro: he just seems too together, I mean it's day one but he seems....blah, I should have had a longer nap. Alternatively, I know he's a slick little son of a Slitheen so if he worries me a little he worries me a lot, know what I mean?

Captain: I've played with a few Captains before, and it's always interesting. Harkness always wants to "meet new people" and that creepy woman from UNIT had an obsession with left-hand turns. This Captain? Votes, but doesn't. At the same time, though, I've never played with Captain before, so I'll just leave this alone, at least for toDay.

Brinn: Overapologizingish. Basically just covering my bases.

Rikae: Disregarding the fact that she voted me. "I'm voting (insert name here) but if people jump onto it they're probably wolves." Hmmmm....let's consider this shall we?


My first choice is probably Boro, with the other three close behindish and a few others that I didn't have time to mention. And I still didn't get my nap, dang it.

EDIT: x'd with Fea


EDIT #2: Sorry. That should be x'd SINCE Fea. Fea's vote, to be exact. Just so it's clear.
