T-I-G LVI: Panic at the Prancing Pony

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'm going to vote now so that I can crash comfortably for the night.

Following Rune for Brinn- I'm terrified of this girl no matter what team she's on. I won't have her slip past me in this game. Sorry, hun.

++Brinniel

[Rikae]

At the risk of reminding everyone of the infamous Legate-wagon from the last game:
Brinn's worrying me a bit, too. It's not the defensiveness; innocents can be very defensive, sometimes more than wolves (call it righteous indignation, I guess) - it's the fact that she's encouraging Frodo to play in such a way as to make a more useful addition to the wraith team.

Also, the more I consider it, the more possible it looks that Mac is indeed evil. I try to give him the benefit of the doubt, consider all possibilities, etc. - I don't really want to see him go toDay in any event. But I don't trust him, either.

I'm still not sure who to vote for.

[Brinniel]

Ugh, I really regret joining this game. This week's been stressful for me and and I didn't expected to be so exhausted, but it's put me in a sour mood today, and I apologise it's affecting my play so much. I'm mostly just mad that Rune seems to suspect me no matter what I say. I'm sorry I irritate him so much, but I probably shouldn't be in the same game as him..

I agree. I need a nice warm bath right about now. But this late deadline is keeping me from it...

[Mirandir]

So far no one is sticking out as obviously needing to be killed toDay. There's not enough evidence due to lack of posting by some parties and others I just don't know what to make of. However, Lommy's flipflopping has been bothering me for the past few pages and thus has my vote.

Sally didn’t say anything of consequence, but I don’t get a sneaky vibe from her banter. Her post above could come from both innocent or evil fingertips.

Gollum is somewhat creepy and his vote is random. I’m very slightly suspicious, but mostly I’m not sure what to do with him still.

Shasta said nothing of consequence either, except for his vote, which looks as if he just chose the first best person to say something he didn’t like. This is not necessarily suspicious for him, but it’s not helpful either.

What bothers me about Nerwen is that her list of suspects is followed by "each could be an easy lynch". I'm always suspicious at attempts to downplay one's suspicions, though this is a very minor case of it. It's not enough to make me vote her toDay, as she's a very valuable villager, but I'm slightly suspicious.

There’s been nothing but in-characterness, late role talk, and a vote count from Lariren. I hope to see a little more.

Not much to go at concerning Lily. She has said enough to be involved and gave an early vote on a gut feeling (which looks better than admitting to a random vote, but for the rest of us, it’s the same). A wraith with little time could smoothly play this way, but so could an innocent.


PS: *hugs Brinn*

Okay, I've narrowed it down amongst those who have votes. Here are my thoughts. Pretty much x'd since my last, as my friend just showed up and I've not read the last few posts with any sort of attention span.


Brinn: Could be. Very well could be. But her suspiciousness (if that's even a word) could just be stress since she says she's been having a rough day or two. Perhaps we should give her the benefit for toDay? We'll see.
Gollum: would be a typical first Day lynch, and too easy a way out. He may be evil, but as I said in my previous post I'm not wanting to lynch him toDay
Mac: He seems a bit off to me. I mean I honestly don't see anything HUGE wrong with his posts, but I just have a suspicion about him. Can't lie.
Agan: her vote was a bit strange, and she's been going on and on (at least more than I think necessary) about the Ringbearer role. It's as if she's intentionally trying to take focus off lynching the wraiths.
Lommy: I'm iffy on Lommie. I'll go over her posts again later and see what is supposed to be so suspicious about her, but for now I don't want to lynch her.
Lari: I'm really not buying into this. She's not said a lot, and none of it seems suspicious. Besides, Agan even said her vote was super random so I'm hoping people don't go along with it.

Again, pretty much x'd since, well I suppose not my last, but Brinn's post right after it pretty much

I wouldn't encourage Frodo to do anything...it's totally up to him on how he wants to play. If he wants to reveal, go ahead. And if he wants to be turned, let's hope we lynch him first. But there's no harm in me saying what I'd personally do if I were in that role...or is there?

I am disappointed to see that no one seems to really want to play for the fun of it anymore and would rather take the easier route if it means winning. Is that how you guys really feel? Just because something is easier for the village doesn't necessarily mean it's the better thing to do. Because if it were always easy, WW would get boring fast. One thing I love about WW are the twist and curves that get thrown at us. I like to be challenged.

Well, there goes my trying for not a double lynch with a different vote. Mac now has 4.

So in the keeping of preventing a double lynch:

++Durelin

By the way, do we have double lynches?

Nope, no doubles that I'm aware of.

Well, that vote came out of nowhere. *blinks*

She doesn't have any votes yet - eh?

Also, the one who reached the most votes first dies - no double lynches.

Maybe I missed something, but what has a vote for Durelin (who had no vote before) to do with preventing a double lynch?

[Brinniel]

We still have some 45 minutes, right? My head's obviously not clear anymore, so I need some time to think. I'm sorry again for blowing up, I guess getting used to my horrible class schedule has made me hypersensitive. I just felt rather offended for being initially suspected due to my absence and then being told I shouldn't have signed up at all if my RL is more important. That sort of comment just makes me want to drop out because of course RL is more important than WW.

But I don't blame any of you for suspecting me for being overly-defensive; I was. I sometimes let my emotions get the better of me and I shouldn't have let them affect my gameplay, but I did.

So it seems the top candidates now are Mac, me, Gollum, and Lommy. Of those, I find Gollum the most suspicious with half of his posts being banter...but he only has two votes right now.

Who's left to vote? And most importantly, can double lynches occur?

[Macalaure]

I guess Legate was right about starting a bandwaggon. I don't see his vote suspicious at all, but the reasons of Menel (Mac doesn't have any suspects), Beregond (simply quoting what everybody has been calling suspicious all day), and Sally (he's off) are just bad.

[Rikae]

Brinn -
I don't think what I'm advocating is the easy way out for the village (nor did I say "Frodo has to reveal on Day 1" or anything like that, for the record). I do, however, think that the fun, and challenge, of the game depends on everyone throwing all their effort into playing the role they are given as well as they can. In dueling wizards ww, everyone is a potential "Frodo". If everyone used that as a reason to play only for themselves and not for the side they found themselves on at any given time, the game would break down entirely.

As usual, all times are GMT-6 (a deadline of 12am). Innocents are italicized, known baddies are underlined.

[Durelin]

I really don't think Brinniel is a wraith. I think she needs what she says.

Looking at things again I found Lommy to be interesting to me. Her way of going after Aganzir but not really is rather funny. Partly just because it's them.

And I just previewed my post to refresh the thread and I see she has another vote. Hmm.

[Rikae]

This is why I dislike voting late - the field is narrowed, and any other vote becomes a "throwaway". But let's see:

I have some suspicions toward most of the people who have votes already. However, I already said I don't want to vote Mac or Agan today... Lari hasn't set off any alarms... and I don't want to vote Brinn toDay because:
a) I fear I might suspect her based mostly on philosophical differences
b) doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do right now and
c) I don't trust the Brinn-wagon, particularly Gollum and Fea.

That leaves Gollum, and I don't know what to think of him. He does seem enthusiastic, but I'm not sure that's a particularly good reason to lynch him; however, by process of elimination, I might just end up voting for him.

[Rikae]

Ooops, I realize I didn't mention Lommy. I thought I had.

Anyway, after looking at her she looked slightly better, and I'm not sure what to make of her interaction with Agan, so I'd rather not vote for her, either.

[Rikae]

Greenie -> Gollum
Lommy -> Aganzir
Gollum -> Brinn
Aganzir -> Lari
Legate -> Mac
Shasta -> Lommy
Nog -> Gollum
Menel -> Mac
Rune -> Brinn
Fea-> Brinn
Mirandir- > Lommy
Beregond- > Mac
Durelin- > Lommy

Brinn 3, Lommy 3, Mac 3, Gollum 2, Agan 1, and Lari 1

[Durelin]

++Lommy because she seems sneakiest to me right now.

[Lariren Shadow]

Ok so here's a few of my lists:

People I know I'm not voting for:
Mirandir: New, gets the same treatment I got...which means by Day 3 if you're still around I will totally suspect you as fair game.
Beregond: See above.
Shasta: I want to wait and see what he thinks of our zodiac signs.
Nog: Because I want to see him play
Menel: See above.
Mac: Because he is entertaining.

People who I might consider:
Agan: Well, she will never trust me again might as well feed the fires
Fea: Who doesn't like a good Fea vote on Day 1?
Durelin: Though I know it's her character, for some reason the whole fact that its point to a ranger makes me think that, if Kit were a little tricky, making her a wraith/wolf would be interesting.
Lommy: For reasons stated before.

People I have no idea about:
Sally: Well, I am watching her, but nothing has happened yet.
Legate
Greenie
Rune
Rikae
Gollum: Part of me thinks the participation there is from my reasons for wanting Gollum gone in the last game.

I really hope that's everyone.

Sorry, sweetie, but I'd rather see you go than the two ladies.

I think Brinn should at least be given another Day and Lommie doesn't seem that suspicious to me.
