That is to say that I wouldn't be surprised at all to find a wolf among those who talk about my changed playing style. In my opinion, I'm not playing any differently than before (unless you're all still talking about that accusation-throwing post, which was an intentional try at that kind of discussion-stirring) and just for your information, I'm not trying a new style to confuse you or to amuse myself. If there really is a difference in my playing style, it's totally unintentional. You may draw your conclusions from that.

This could also be a sneaky werewolf tactic for reversing suspicion from yourself on to your accusers.


Groin, you said: "Shhh, Gollum, you're making us look suspicious! "

I'd say you've been around long enough to attempt reverse psychology. Is that what's going on here?

EDIT: Crossed with Nogrod

Psychology? Oh you are too kind, but I'm afraid it was just a bit of silly sarcasm!


OK, Legate is looking pretty innocent to me right now. He's being way too helpful for being a Were Warg, pointing that whole deal with Lommy. Same opinion I'm having with Kath, she's doing to well of a job with keeping helpful posts of what has happened so far.

Nobody seems to be hopping on the lynch Nogrod wagon, so I guess that means it was just me who suspected him. He's off my list of suspicious characters for right now.

Gaunt and Gollum are entirely innocent. Gaunt is trying to get a grasp of the situation and Gollum is more of a bandwagon type of player, as we saw in the beginning of Day 2 with Nogrod.

I don't know about Mith or Lommy yet. I'll have to do some quick looking back!

I've had a little time to read but no time to write up any decent sort of post. So just a quick vote before I have to leave:

I have to go right now, I've given my reasons and Lommy is at the top of my suspect list right now (Nogrod is still next, but hasn't shown his true colors yet).

++Lommy

EDIT: X'ed with Lommy and Mith

Not too helpful to be a traitor.. and there was that paradigm thing and the vote for Sam. I don't believe a traitor would pass up the chance to bag a gifted (if Samwise was "spotted" on day one just not to look suspicious.

I can't find anything suspicious with Mith but Lommy on the other hand doesn't seem to be too helpful. As we see in posts 123 & 153 she is almost always defending herself or making short comments on the ideas of others but doesn't really go out on a limb by suspecting anyone. For the most part she seems content with criticizing others, but it doesn't even feel like she's doing it to really shape opinions. This either typical Thinlomien playing or a Were Warg playing it safe.
