T-I-G LXVII: The Rangers of the North - The Fell Winter

[Loslote]

I should be on more toDay, because it's the weekend.

My thoughts on (hopefully) everyone:

Fea - Pretty sure she's innocent.

Nienna - I don't think she's a wolf anymore. First Day posting was suspicious, but that's gone now.

Sally - she hasn't been on much, but I don't think she's guilty.

Kath - I think she's innocent.

Greenie - not sure. Might be a wolf, might not.

Nerwen - same as Greenie.

Roa - I think she's innocent, but she could be a wolf.

Lommy - I don't think she's a wolf, but she still might be.

Legate - Probably innocent.

Gwath - only just showed up. I don't have an opinion yet.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

With the death of Brinn, I've lost faith in Nienna.

I'm having reindeer problems with Sally. That's just odd. I mean... since when does Sally play Prancer?

Thanks dear. Why would I want to kill Brinn? I assume that is what you are accusing me of.

Roa: I appreciate you addressing all my concerns. Even though you may have some seemingly good justifications I'm going to wait until I analyze you further letting you off the suspicion hook.

Yes. I know. What I did find weird is you finding suspicion where there isn't any or where good explanations have been given. This is wolf behavior to me.

Lottie: Lists are good. What is even better is if you give some reason for why you think people are as you have listed.

[Loslote]

Fea seems to have definite opinions which don't always match with what everyone else thinks. I'd think a wolf would be a bit more willing to agree with others.

My reason for suspecting Nienna Day one was because she seemed to be grasping at straws, sort of, trying to frame someone. She's not doing that anymore, and it was probably a fluke.

Sally hasn't seemed suspicious, but I'm not counting her out yet.

Kath hasn't been super active, but doesn't seem at all wolfish.

Greenie's voting for all the most popular candidates, without much discussion.

Nerwen is really slipping under the radar. She's starting major issues, but no one's noticing, just following...

Roa is very active and helpful, but that might just be trying to seem normal, I can't tell.

Lommy hasn't done anything too outstanding either way.

Legate has been helpful and not at all controversial. That could either be ordo or wolf, but I'm leaning ordo.

That's my reasoning...not too explicit, I know, but there it is...

My analysis of Legate and Greenie took up two pages each in MS Word. I explained my views over and over again. What more explanation do you want?

I didn't say your explanations were not thorough only that we disagreed on what behavior is suspicious. I, again, shall wait until I have time to give you a deep analysis.

Now that we've had a nice Nienna and Roa show... is anyone else around? Does anyone else have opinions?

[Nerwen]

Brinniel

Day One
#46.
Doesn't have time to play that Day; is confused about the rules; doesn't have a read on anyone; doesn't want to vote randomly; would hate to elect a wolf; might not vote at all.

And didn't.

Day Two
#299
Says she's just got a new job and will have even less time to play now. Is suspicious of those who elected Rune. Apologises for lack of participation; will have more time tomorrow.

#300
Says Loslote has done some suspicious things, but doesn't want to vote her because she's new. Says she is making a decent effort and would like to give her the benefit of the doubt. Doubts Valier and Rune would have been so obvious about it were they both wolves. Says her voting plan has now gone "out the window". Votes to lynch me for "bad vibes". Votes Roa for captain because "her dedication has proven that she would do well in such a role". Votes Kath for Night Guard due to her quietness and tendency to get killed early. Says she may check in again later (but didn't).

And that's it. Unless I've missed one, she only made three posts, and the first had no substance at all.

So– reconstructed suspicion list:

Suspicious: Nerwen.
Somewhat Suspicious: Loslote.
Neutral: Valier.
Innocent: Roa, Kath.

Two people– Kath and Roa– show up in both Brinn's and Mac's (reconstructed) lists as "innocent". If one or both of them are wolves, it's possible they're targeting people who trust them, to look good and/or to avoid being Hunted. (This is not an accusation, however: I'm currently not sure what to make of Roa, and don't have any actual reason to suspect Kath.)

Other than that, it does just seem to be a classic no-trace kill, with a nod towards framing me (and maybe Loslote, although Brinn's ambiguous about her).

*shrugs* That's all I can get out of it. At least that one didn't take long.

Because you live with her and because last time you and I played together, you told me it was a good thing I had to withdraw from the game because you and your fellows planned on killing me that Night anyway, just to simplify your life.

Yeah, Brinn's death might be a setup, or it might just be a coincidental trail-less kill, but it might also be a were-Nienna covering her bases. Kill Brinn first night? No, too obvious. Wait a bit and then kill her? Sure, why not.

Like I said, it could easily not point to your guilt. Everything is circumstantial in this game anyway.

But really, dear, are you denying that it's something you'd do? Because my sweet, you're my RL Person. I know you better than that. Even if it's not something you did do, it's certainly something you would do.

So in other words, by insisting on switching the Captains, you also ask for becoming a Captain - indirectly.

Why is it that everytime I come up with some clever point I read the thread only to find that someone else has already stated it? Because this is exactly what I thought when I saw Roa's post. She would have known when posting that that many people would be voting her.

I don't like Roa's last post. It doesn't feel innocent. An innocent, I'd think, would be more inclined to state their opinions on people etc, whereas Roa just puts up this martyr show even when no one has voted her yet and a few have voiced suspicion of her. I don't like it. It looks somehow calculatedly hysterical.

I'm currently quite torn about Lommy. Given Roa's recent behaviour and the fact that I suspect her, Lommy's careful vote of Roa for Captaincy seems quite bad. It's not open support, it's more like calculated hesitation before voting her as Captain in order to make it look less obvious. I don't like it. But then, Lommy did seem sort of genuine when I Night-talked with her. I don't know, maybe I should know better after being royally fooled by her in live WW a couple of times, but somehow I can't see a wolf deliberately settling on Night-talking in RL rather than via PM. After all, in writing you can phrase your answers more carefully and the one you're talking to can't read your expressions, tones of voice, etc. I don't know, though: at times her phrasing of things and her tone and such didn't seem natural, but it might of course just be due to talking about WW in RL which is a thing neither of us is used to.

Actually here is another Lommy quote that can be categorised as subtle support of Roa: it says nothing at all like "I trust Roa, you should do so too!" which would be way too obvious, but instead hints vaguely at that it wouldn't be all that dangerous to vote Roa for Captain *wink wink*. So yes, if Roa is a baddie it makes Lommy look worse.

The situation between Brinn and I is slightly different between our situation, dear. You and I lived in the same bedroom where my computer was visible to you whenever you were in the room. You also know me, and my former packmates, very well so killing you was the logical thing to do to get rid of a threat to us. Brinn and I do not live in the same room and my computer is hardly ever visible to her. She made it fine as a wolf last game without killing me. If I was a wolf and killing people who were close to me you would have been the first to go, Fea. You defy even your own logic. If people are suspected every time one of their RL friends die in the game we would get nowhere. It maybe something to keep in mind but that you can loose entire confidence in me, who you do know very well, from the death of Brinn makes me suspect you even more.

Sally's gained my full trust. She is now up there with you, Legate, on the people who are innocent list. We didn't get a chance to talk with Kath much but from what we did get to say I'm leaning innocent for her.

I'm trying to figure out what is with Roa's obsession Gwath. She voted to NG him yesterday and toDay voted him to be captain. There must have been a reason she picked him because if she wanted to give it to anyone who isn't me then it would seem like she would pick Lommy who she wanted to give it to yesterday. What is also concerning is she is making the captain to be a big deal and yet she is willing to give it to any person (and chooses Gwath who only voted for one role - NG - on time and who voted to lynch someone who was going to be killed anyway... not to mention the fact that he didn't vote at all on Day One).

I do not. You and Brinn share a small apartment. You and I are a few hundred miles apart. Mental closeness isn't nearly as troublesome in werewolf games as physical proximity.

Well, I would be careful with this, for I wouldn't put it past Wolf-Roa to try to lay some false trails to other people. Because it is really weird for her to vote for Gwath, she likely would have realised we would consider that weird, and so maybe it's done deliberately. Well, whatever - in our current situation we can't judge it much well anyway.

Okay, just a general remark - please, people, let's try to keep RL out of this as much as possible. I know it just goes like that sometimes, but I am always strongly against putting any meta-game reasons into the game, even if I could use them myself. It's mainly because people can hardly follow the suspicions raised in there, it may be a reason for one person, but it says nothing to the rest, they can't even determine if somebody lies or is twisting things etc. because they don't know the others in RL. I know, it's a problem, I've been facing that sometimes myself, but... well, just let's try to limit it to the minimum. It really is not "proper" WW.

I think it's more about individual wolves (and incidentally, I would see Roa and Legate as wolves wanting to be Captains, whereas I wouldn't want to be one - not because of the tie-thing, I can do that, but because I would not want innocents questioning me during the Night-time...)[LIST]

Lommy, no doubt not all wolves would want to be Captain – but in my view it would, despite your points, give a big advantage, especially the tie-breaking and lynch-cancelling– and they'd want that in a game with so many gifteds. Especially on Day One– they couldn't know they were going to get the Master Hunter that Night (EDIT: And now there are fewer gifteds but also fewer baddies, so it still holds). I'm thinking now they might in fact have fielded a backup candidate. It would make sense, anyway.

I'm not a fool. I've seen people lynched for using too many smilies, and Legate sounds like he's being reasonable even if he's not. The train has started and there's no stopping it now.

So then,

++Gwath for captain

I know I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said several times already– but honestly, I don't like the whole "poor me" tone of that post. Really, it's like blackmailing. And it seems excessive when no lynch votes had been cast except your own.

And I mean– Gwath? Gwath who?

On a more practical note, that NG vote for Kath doesn't count. You can't be a Guard two Nights in a row.

EDIT:X'd with 1 Legate and 2 Feas.
EDIT2:Added comment.

Care to explain?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hmm hmm, personally I am also leaning forwards to the thought that Brinn was killed just because of a no-trace kill. I would have assumed so, because basically almost any other person (basically out of those who were participating more than Brinn) who would have been killed would have left some more significant traces in some way.

Well, since in this game, there is no way to have a known innocent, then it basically means just rotating the people. You could have just as well skipped the sentence.

Anyway, myself, personally, don't worry about keeping Nienna in position, if people are fine with it. Of course I would urge her to be careful with the power of cancelling lynch, but otherwise, I trust her.

I would not be mentioning it if it was not something that I have spotted as a pattern in your behavior all the time since Day 1. The way of speaking without saying some things openly, but saying them in the way that they are still said and can be interpretated and get stuck in the reader's head without actually being totally open in the first place. Especially knowing that you are a clever player and after you said yourself that you are mastering rhetorics. That is: you asked in your first post if people have problems with being a Captain, you said nothing yourself, and then several posts later - the thing I quoted just above - you said "Oh, and by the way, I almost forgot, oh surely I could answer my own question when we are already at it, right? Well I don't really want to be a captain, but I can be one, hint hint nudge nudge?" By adding "oh, it occurs to me..." and the fact that you said it only after some time, you made it sound more careless, more "by-the-way", which means: making yourself seem "no, I don't strive for power, I almost forgot that I could be a Captain myself" while at the same time basically asking for it.

It would be a similar issue with the words "I don't care to be captain. I only want the captain to change everyday." Which is at the same time saying "oh no, I don't strive for power" and saying "vote me", for reasons I explained above when quoting that one. It's a pattern with you, all the time, that there is a difference between saying something and what it actually can mean, or what message it conveys.

I have been noticing that from the first Day, and you are basically doing it all the time, also in other cases. Last of all is the thing you just repeated now, again, and which you already said on first Day.

ToDay it was:

And on Day 1:

And toDay again. ToDay you are saying it plainly, on Day 1 you said it more subtly. It was more like "I am speaking about NG I am speaking about NG I am speaking about NG" but the second message which is incorporated in there is "I'm too easy to lynch for the wolves to waste a kill on me". Something you are saying already on Day 1, to prepare an explanation waaay beforehand, of why you have not been killed yet?

So in other words, yes, I suspect you, Roa. It is funny that you speak about Day 3, "around Day 3 everyone decides I've been alive too long" - well, "funny" - I must say it's slightly unnerving to me too, but it is time for me to bring it forth. I did not want to state any suspicion about you earlier in case you might be innocent and the Wolves would attempt just what you said. Of course, if you are innocent, I could see the Wolves trying to frame you. But I have never had any stronger suspect than you during the two last Days, and you are also one reason - which I didn't mention yesterDay just for the reason I just mentioned (i.e. that I did not want to help the Wolves to have the reason to frame you in case you were innocent) - why I suspected Lommy. Her kind of "follower"-ish attitude to you, the way she voted for you, was one reason for my suspicion of her.

And speaking of Brinn... that also strenghtened my suspicion of you. One more thing is the way you speak of NGs, where you actively take part in selecting them. If you are a Wolf, you would, of course, know that if somebody's selected, you cannot kill him, but then, there are probably still enough people to choose from, and especially with kills like Brinn, it's not a problem.

Originally Posted by Roa_Aoife

Brinn was probably killed for the same reason that any quiet person is killed (which is why I voted her as NG on Day 1). A quiet person leaves no trail.

Again this sort of subtle "I voted her as NG on Day 1 and now she is dead, see? I was right on Day 1, eventually, she was killed". Of course that doesn't mean that you were all the time after Brinn, but mentioning this now is basically just confirming that you have nothing to do with her kill, as you protected her on the former Night. A really side-thing, probably even from your perspective, but if it's there, fine with you so you mention it.

Well. I think that would do for now. Speaking of others... I am becoming slightly uneasy with Fea, too. I am unsure about Loslote, some ways of how she speaks seem very genuine, sometimes her lists seem as if they were just randomly made by a Wolf who does not particularly know how to speak of people as he won't know whom to keep on good side and whom on bad side (her first list toDay looks like that, on the other hand her second more elaborate list looks more genuine). But I do not hold her as suspect now. I am still worried about Lommy.

I still trust Nerwen, Nienna... well, how was sally, Nienna? Anything to add to your Nightly campfire discussion?

[Thinlómien]

Rather eerie. I was the Night-talker last Night and I chose (both out of curiousity and slight schedule problems) to talk with Greenie. A few hours before the DL I asked her who she thinks will die toNight. She said: "I would have said myself, but now that Roa started suspecting me, probably not." And we started speculating. The names that appeared were Legate, Nerwen, Kath and Brinn. In the end, I insisted on making a clear guess. I said Brinn, Greenie said Kath or Brinn. So it is rather creepy to find her dead toDay...

All an all our chat was fine. I asked Greenie (I confess, not exactly without any "sinister" intentions) to summarise the end of Day2 to me before I read it. Her summary revolved mostly around the actions of Roa and Legate (which is rather understandable ) and on what people had said about me, as far as she remembered. It seemed a rather innocent series of recollections, I think a wolf would've been pressured to talk about more people, or mentioned at least one of her mates because she would've remembered what they did (if they did something). I know Legate or Roa could be Greenie's mates, but I feel it's more likely she talked about them because they both made such a show of themselves yesterDay.

On the whole, our chat made me feel better about Greenie. She seemed honest and thinking on the innocent trail of thought. I'm not entirely convinced though - I was the one to initiate all the topics and she remained rather passive, and she said once something weird about forgetting it's possible Kath's guilty and saving it with saying she always forgets she may be guilty. But even that wasn't too weird.

I see a full-size war between Legate and Roa is about to start. My current feeling towards it is to sit back, watch and grab some popcorn. I think both of them are more on the innocent side, Legate more so than Roa, but I'm so unsure I would not take sides. Besides I think this will be educational.

Then some quotes from yesterDay and toDay:

This has nothing to do with suspecting her (she's in the very middle of my no idea -category, in fact) nor with disliking her playing style (as I like it a lot). It's just that she's a very influential player already now, and I fear that if she was elected Captain this village might be in danger of becoming too much led by one person alone.

I don't think that'd be too much of a problem - people suspect her well enough and she would only be the Captain for one Day and Night. And remember a vocal villager only has as much power as we give her.

It's exactly the fact that 1) I didn't vote you and 2) you didn't even get the most votes, so I may be displeased. (Which is rather funny, because I did consider voting you.)

Originally Posted by Legate

And I said quite clearly I do not want to see it at all, and it seems rather suspicious to me that someone nicely volunteers to be the test dummy for the Captain's full powers. It's a lot the same as what you accuse Roa of - subtly volunteering for the post as if you didn't want it especially although you do.

But I'm not, in fact, entirely convinced a wolf would want to be a Captain. Maybe they wouldn't mind the tie-breaking normally, but when it comes to breaking a tie between a fellow and an innocent?

That's a good point, actually, but a little less valid from my point of view considering that I've started to wonder if the wolves would really be so eager to vote their fellows to be Captains...

Originally Posted by Legate

Because I believe she would have good enough reading of me to determine whether I am worry-worthy or not. And so, she should not have minded that much (given what she says herself) to leave me there.

Darling, hope you don't mind me saying, but I believe you are taking it personally. I do actually consider you quite innocent at the moment so whatever my initial feeling was I do/did not mind your Captaincy, but I just don't think anyone should stay in power for two Days. Like I said, not even myself. I may trust you, but I do not trust your judgement.

And I can't really defend myself against what you said about sayings about Rune and Hakon, because I wrote what I felt/thought about them and I can't help it if you think it was wolvish.

I don't know what to make of Roa defending me so adamantly. Of course it's nice to have friends but I can't help the feeling that she'd be trying to attach herself to an innocent she agrees with and normally gets along with like that. But then again, she and I have sort of formed alliances once or twice in past games when we've thought each other innocent. Bleargh.

Valier's role surprised me, I have to say. It didn't occur to me she could be a cobbler, she looked so much more like a wolf. But I don't really mind, of course (good choice, Nienna!).

Where are Kath and Gwath?

I currently feel better about Nerwen and worse about Fea.

Agreed. Although Nienna is more or less on the top of my "who's innocent" list.

Unlike Nienna, I'm not surprised to see Roa alive. True, she is very dangerous to the wolves when innocent, but she also always creates a lot of mess and contradictory feelings, so as long as the wolves think they can pull it off, it makes sense to keep her. But that, of course, is no proof she's innocent. I'm getting more and more confused about her.

I agree with Nerwen about Brinn's death, although I don't get how come the death frames her in a game where there's no seer. It is interesting what Nerwen says about Roa and Kath.

I'm off now, but I'll be back later.

[Roa_Aoife]

No, I'm not starting a war with Legate. This will be my last post of the Day. Most likely the game. I've got things to do today that will in all probability keep me past deadline.

Whoever you vote into captain, make sure it changes everyday. Only people who do not have the village's best interest at heart would want someone you can't possibly be certain of to have power over the lynch. The lynch is our weapon, don't hand it over without a fight.

We can't afford to have mistakes now. After I'm gone, the wolves who are surely trying to frame me (so look to the people who pointed out that Mac and Brinn both thought me innocent) will try to play down any suspicions I had of them or their fellows. "She was wrong about Boromir," they will say. They will conveniently for get that I was right about Rune.

Greenie first voiced more than just unease about me. Fea followed her suit. But Nienna brought it out toDay, and Legate has drawn upon the growing suspicion to get rid of his biggest accuser for him. His reasons are specious. The majority of people who answered my question answered it the same way, including him. I do not control how others vote, so all his supposed "hidden messages" in my text are a straw-man case. Remember that his case against me is constructed out of air, toMorrow.

If you think I'm being fatalistic, the most influential person in the village (if no one listens to me it doesn't matter how much I talk, I'm still not influential) has decided I'm suspicious, and enough people have suspicion of me that is ripe for harvesting. I'm not a fool. I've seen people lynched for using too many smilies, and Legate sounds like he's being reasonable even if he's not. The train has started and there's no stopping it now.

So then,

++Gwath for captain

I don't really care who gets elected as long as it's someone new everyday.

++Kath for NG

As a ranger I'd protect her, so I may as well do so as a villager

++Legate for lynch

even though it won't happen, it's important everyone knows where I stood toMorrow.

See you all in the next life (game).

Okay, just two comments now to what's been said.

Quite the contrary. Though the fact that stating that you suspect Rune was almost the first thing you said at all does not make it an argument for your innocence. Wolf-on-Wolf suspicion in the beginning is a thing that occurs from time to time, and you and Rune, of all people, don't seem to me like the ones who would have problems with doing that, if it came to that. Especially as you were both running for Captains (you from "natural" causes, which was to be expected as much as that some people would support me for a Captain, too; and Rune after he declared it himself that he wants to be one).

Okay, just a note. Even if you were innocent, I think this is a rather unclever way of thinking. If you are afraid of having a Cap in power for too long, is putting totally random people into power any better? And okay, nothing against Gwath, but he certainly hasn't been around the most, and I didn't notice that you would have expressed any strong feeling of his innocentishness in order to make you vote him. (And if it's a bait for us to start suspecting Gwath after you are lynched and revealed as a Wolf, then I am not going to take it, at least. But let's see.)

Aside from that, your, indeed, as you say, "fatalistic" attitude supports it even more for me: of course, RL things aside, it's understandable if you can't be here anymore, but you avoided speaking more or replying more, which could save you from having to express much of your thoughts on others (you hardly mentioned anybody at all) and thus risking exposing fellow comrades, which is always a dilemma for a dying Wolf. I am willing to take the risk if you are innocent. I think you are not.
