WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification)

[Macalaure]

Miri didn't really contribute anything of value, and that usually leaves four options:
1. The game is going exactly the direction the ducks desire, and she was a kill that wouldn't disturb this.
2. The ducks were under pressure and sought for a trailless kill.
3. The ducks have a personal gripe with people who don't contribute much.
4. The ducks just want to give us the impression of one of the above.

-1 is what I think. Any kill with an actual reason behind it could only have caught people's interest and stopped them from being silly. This kill is likely to perpetuate the situation. The conclusion from that? Not much. It slightly exonerates Lari and Durelin.
-We were so clueless yesterday that 2 is nearly impossible.
-3 would require that all three agree on this principle. It could also be that a dominant duck with a personal aversion convinced his mates (*is not thinking about aaanybody particular* ), but even then in the very least it means that neither of the ducks went the easy less-contributing way yesterday. However, I would not expect a duck to do that anyway. Ducks are nervous by nature, and giving the obvious impression of being unhelpful is something they usually like to avoid.
-4 is always possible, you can never tell.

Of course there is also the possibility that they guessed Miri's role right, but how often does that really happen on Day1?

*stops annoying Fea*


I wish Legate had gotten less votes - then we could now make some good statement about Durelin.


Nogrod's posting requirement could be that, once he makes a point about something, he has to stick with it no matter how contrary the evidence. Look how he only abandons his "everybody has requirements after Sally cleared it up. Obviously, that must've been the secret code among them. His points against Rikae are headdeskworthy, too, yet he keeps on insisting.

Then again, I guess Sally would rather give each of us something uncharacteristic.

In any case, Nogrod deserves a brutal, vicious, and unnecessarily violent lynching for discussing roles and requirements the way he did.

If at least you would've connected the dots the right way, but the picture is entirely skewed. I really wish I could go into detail, but that would be unwise.

I don't know why, but Nogrod is creeping me out this game. I'd be very willing to lynch him just for that, if only his points against Durelin wouldn't make so much sense...

Alright now... what? Did you give Gwath some precious special powers? So special that, once your Gwathiepoo ends up under the slightest pressure, you turn him into the invincible Gwathfried? And just look how many people defended him - all this made up "let's not lynch him on day one again" chorus people were obviously required to post! Admit it, this whole game is just about Gwath winning, isn't it, Sally? We should've taken our chance and lynched him yesterday, that way at least we would've forced a draw! Just look at it - the evidence is right in front of your eyes!

I don't actually think Nogrod would necessarily want to kill the non-contributors because he should have learned by now that it points at him...

Anyway, Mac, I'm not sure about your classification of Mira as a non-contributor. I think she contributed more than many, even though she spent the beginning of the Day just bantering. Or so I think. Hmmm... I'll check her posts (and also if there's some stuff late yesterDay that demands a comment from me).

Come on folks, I'm not exactly keeping up with mine, and I haven't been modfired yet.

And yo' momma's a hamster.

Don't tempt me, dear one.

It seems that for all intents and purposes - Shasta was dead. Just taking quite a long time to reach that state. So really should we be looking too deeply into anything he monologued during that time? I think not.

X'd with Gwath

Didn't you know? They can only kill me with a golden bullet.
