TIG: LXV - Our fate lies with...them?

[Formendacil]

*deliberately pokes Mac*

Which is to say..>

*Formendacil whines about everyone voting for him*

What's that make, Nessa--five votes for me? Six? Two-thirds of the village? About as many votes for me as you've posted all game?

It's highly amusing, in a deathly sarcastic sense, that I've been back online for all of an hour, I've contributed one semi-studied post containing some serious business, and I already feel like one of the loudmouths today.

That means I'll be lynched and probably be innocent, of course, but it's still darkly humorous, especially if Mac and Sally were to get eaten tonight... toMorrow would have to be pantomimed!

Are you actually trying to question the merit of analysing the votes and reasoning that led to the lynching of an innocent? Your fur is showing.

Sally, what is the reasoning on which you put people into those two groups?

Nessa, are you actually trying?

The sheer number of Form-votes right now suggests that we're wrong with it (remember 4/9 evil). I strongly suggest especially Lommy and Sally. Plus, I buy his explanation and think his general behaviour is innocent, although it could be more helpful, i.e., who do you think is guilty, Form?

Mac dear, you were saying before that I was mistaken for asking why your better half (at least most days) was attacked and for trying to decide who the missed kill was. Don't we also catch baddies by analyzing Night activity?

[satansaloser2005]

Oh, and my list. Past suspicions (as I've explained in bits and pieces throughout the thread) as well as my gut, which is hopefully better than it was with Morm.

[Nienna]

*Looks around for Lari*


Lommy--> Form
Mira--> Autume
Autume--> Form
Nessa--> Form

Form 3, Autume 1

Still to vote:
Form
Mac
Nerwen
Nienna
Sally

[Macalaure]

Lommy -> Form (evil vote that righteous villagers should not follow)
Mira -> Autume (probably innocent and probably wrong)
Autume -> Form (I really hope you'll be back to retract)
Nessa -> Form (*shakes head*)

Left: Form, me, Nerwen, Nienna, Sally.

Two of the ones left to vote are probably evil (Nerwen, Sally). We need to be voting very well if we don't want to be swallowed by evil votes toDay. In fact, without a retraction, we're probably losing already.

Are you defending Lommy's statement?

And you're right, of course, but that was two nights ago, and you still didn't tell us why that (failed) kill in particular could help us. You actually didn't analyse the non-kill at all, you asked other to do so. Making others spend their time on things of questionable value without giving much input yourself is a wolvish thing to do, I'm afraid.

Would you mind summarising? With only a little more than an hour to go, I don't feel like searching through 35 pages.

crossed with Nienna.

[satansaloser2005]

No. I agree with you about Lommie actually, I'm just saying that you underestimated the importance of other things. And I would have analyzed the no-kill but I went to bed and have been busy since, so I've not been able to. Sorry.

Finishing Nessa as quick as possible. Sorry I'm a bit slow; I'm tired. *yawns*

I barely know who's left alive in this village... how should I know who's guilty?

Okay... here's the list:

autume--first impression? She's ridden along on the coattails of others all game--Sally especially, but that may just be off-game camaraderie influencing what is either an extra-lost Ordo or a radar-avoiding Wolf. Or a really hidden Bear, but I doubt it.
Formendacil: Well, innocent, obviously.
Lommy: my first impression is to say that I haven't found her suspicious all game--despite her continual suspicions of me, which is rather odd given that I strongly suspected Morm for the same reason. It's a gut-feeling, difference, though, and while my gut still likes Lommy, my brain could be easily convinced otherwise... and if we get another Form-waggon, she's an acceptable alternative.
Macalaure--well, the fact that Mac thinks I'm probably innocent endears him greatly, and he DOES seem to have managed to remain mostly innocent in everyone's eyes--which is good, except that's how Bears and lone Wolves win... but the wolf isn't alone, and I can't get a Bear-feel from Mac--admitting, of course, I've said all along that a Bear wouldn't necessarily be discernible from an Ordo if they were clever--and Mac's played this game enough to know.
Mira really has said very little, and I'd be tempted to cast my vote in her direction. Granted, it's a bit late in the game to be voting off the quiet players, but there's always a chance that she's deliberately playing quiet so that she doesn't give herself away.
Nerwen--I'm not convinced she's the Cobbler, but I'm not unconvinced, either, if that makes any sense. She's definitely not as involved this game as she can be, but if she's the Cobbler, it makes more sense to ignore her right now.
Nessa, like Mira has said very little--less, even, in terms of my impressions, and I'd say she's made less of an effort to be useful. That'd be lynchworthy on an earlier Day, and I could definitely be convinced to go that way now... but it's not really enough on its own.
Nienna has been less than useful, and has not really responded to attempts to be prodded into something more... but, admittedly, I know she's been swamped somewhat with Real Life right now, so anti-usefulness doesn't need to equal evil. She has a couple of bad votes to her name, though...
sally looks clawed, fanged, and furry all over with her last minute votes and changes and the fact that she might be the Cobbler--and that possible argument that Durelin might have dreamed of her--inclines me to think she's probably just Sally.

So... in verdict?

I really don't know who's guilty. I'm not inclined to rule anyone out, but as for voting today, I'm inclined most to Mira or Nessa for being too quiet, or Lommy, in spite of my gut.

EDIT: X-posted since Mac's second last--the one I quoted.

[Macalaure]

Alright, let's assume Nienna, Form, and me vote Lommy.

That would make Form 3, Lommy 3, Autume 1

Sally and Nerwen are unlikely to follow, so we're still screwed. We still need Autume's retraction even to only reach a draw. *curses Mira's and Nessa's votes*

Heh. I could flirt with Sally. You'd vote for Lommy, then, right Sally my love?

If you want to see, you'll have to get Sally to come around.

[autume98]

I'd be willing to retract and vote Lommy, but I can't wait until the last minute to do so.

Erm, I could be convinced to vote for Lommie. I really want Nessa though. (Nearly finished with her, just checking in. Had to check on the kids but I'm here til DL now yay!)

Try me, my sweet.

[Nienna]

*hopes for poetry*

[Macalaure]

The fact that Sally could be convinced to vote for Lommy makes me doubt my choice, but it's the only thing to do that makes sense, I think.

So let's start toDay's last minute bandwaggon:

Try me, my sweet.

Sally, dear, I'm afraid those fluttering eyelashes have set my heat a pitter-patter too, and I'm much too dazed to come up with the eloquent wooing you so richly deserve: the fine music and poetry of a Byronic knight below the balcony of a Tennyson princess. But surely, in your majestic compassion and wisdom, you could be brought to vote for that terribly suspicious Lommy. Would it help any if I said she was distracting me from the adoration of your beauty?

(On other notes... I'd be amenable to a Nessa vote instead of a Lommy vote. Mac? Nienna? )

[Nerwen]

Hi all. You should probably know that I've had some RL issues (work-related, nothing terrible) the past couple of days.

Why is everyone voting Lommy now?

He actually was, though.

EDIT:X'd since autume.

[satansaloser2005]

The count currently stands at -3. Let us proceed.

Honestly, those who would look most dubious are Pitchwife voters, but here's something else: Wouldn't a wolf be more likely to inconspicuously slide into a bandwagon, rather than start or finish one so out in the open?

I know Tum seems suspicious because she was the deciding vote, but I don't think a wolf would do something that brings so much attention to them.

More thoughts, maybe a list, to come.

edit: crossed since Nerwen

Something in me wants to suggest that this could be a Nessa bear gloating under the cover of sarcasm. Anyway, trying to back away from that, she's just stating the obvious again and then saying Tum doesn't seem as suspicious as some of the other voters that killed Pitchie. -1

It's nothing against you, just that the way you jumped out at Hakon, when he was only trying to help. You effectively stated that you did not like talking about useless subjects, like how bad Day one is, or the Bear, or surveys, and that worked to take the eyes off you, yet you persisted in actively participating in those same conversations, and steering the talk away from the most important subject-catching a baddie.

But no, I don't think you are a baddie, you've suceeded in catching the spotlight and no wolf would do anything to get so much scrutiny.

Defends her vote for Rikae and then says she doesn't think Rikae's a baddie. So....she voted her, but didn't think she was guilt. Am I missing something? -1

Now, The Phantom has somehow managed to stick himself both to the top and bottom of my suspicions. His part in finding Pitch innocent can be interpreted in multiple ways, but that is his own fault for not supporting words with actions. I can see him as maybe being a gifted, but that would be a stretch, and gifteds and baddies are often meshed together.

So....she thinks that Phantom was either a goodie or a baddie. Erm, not terribly helpful. Seems like circular logic, which I know I sometimes do by mistake or sleep deprivation, but with everything else it looks bad to me. -1

Isn't this what she said before? *checks* Yup. So why repeat it? +0

Nothing. (Tie to Nienna.) Can't see the point of this. +0

Soooo, there seem to be a lot of bandwagons to go with now, but they all sound sound. (Haha, get it?) But who really stands out?

Well, I would like to agree that alona and Tum are awfully cool with each other. But I still don't find Tum guilty, for earlier stated reasons. Alona seems a lil... Double sided this time around, I suppose. Her answers ring perfect when first read, but when pondered... could be wolf on innocent.

++alonariel

And I'm sorry that being voted for makes you feel so bad. Just know that this is coming from me only in-game. Nothing against you personally.

Fluff, says all the bandwaggons look good to her, agrees that Alona and Tum are being friendly with each other. (Ties to Alona and Tum.) Says Alona looks good but not on second glance. Seems to me like a copout, suspecting Alona but able to leave room for a retraction. Or rather, doesn't want to tie herself. (Here again I think she's a better bear than wolf candidate because I think she'd have used her 'indecision' to save Alona rather than try to kill her.) -1

And the nickname conversation was...unexpected, to say the least. But then again, my nick is one of the easiest.

Again, seems like a subtle gloating. I could be wrong, but it's like she's trying to appear innocent and yet....blah. +0, because I feel generous lol

Originally Posted by Nessa Telrunya

Who to vote for?

It looks like she's asking advice on how to vote and look the least suspicious. And then....well, you'll see. This in itself isn't horribly bad, I suppose. +0

Alona-I just get this... Feeling from her. Like sort of a wolfish feel.

Tum-Has played in an honest sort of manner, not giving any reason to suspect her, unless you count her tie-breaker on Day 1.

Durelin-I don't know very well, so I can't give a clear impression. He seems to have a talent of saying a lot of in-depth stuff, yet being completely anonymous almost.

Form-Could be a wolf, I suppose. But then again, can't everyone else?

Lommy-Is giving out clear opinions, not ringing the bells. Don't think she's a baddie.

Mac-Is there yet not. Kind of hard to analyze.

Mira-Is completely floating over my head. I have no idea what to think of her.

Morm-I am very impressed with. Puts himself out there, but kind of gray, rather than black or white, in terms of role.

Nerwen-Is giving me no idea as to what she is. Not fair, really.

Nessa-You tell me.

Nienna-Is ringing those tinkly little bells, but there's no reason for me to go after her.

Rikae-Is maybe a bit suspicious, but I don't think she's a wolf.

Sally-I am pretty sure of her innocence at this point. I saw sally!wolf in action last game, and she's completely different this time around.

Shasta-Well, if anything, I know he's not the cobbler, or he'd be catching wolves off the hook.

Well, I kind of suppose I don't know anything about anyone. I think I'm one of the only ones to fail at list making.

Doesn't really give a true suspicion/opinion on anyone. Some people do fail at that (heck, I'm one of them) but this seems wrong. -1

She has suspects from before and yet now she can't figure out who to vote for? Really?! -1, because each post is only +/-1 so I can only take one point.

Yes, but we can't hide behind no votes, especially when we have good suspects. Fair point, but no. -1

At least she's said things about him before, so meh. And I finally did you, so there! +0


Total: -10. Ouch, that's harsh.

EDIT in advance: I'm going to edit in my total, so I hope that's okay. I need to make sure I'm right.
