TIG LXIX: Meeting at the House of Usher

[Roa_Aoife]

The problem, is that I haven't got time to review anyone else. I have to be off in literally 10 minutes. Besides Fea, who I now can't lynch (most unfortunately), I had no other suspects.

I am confident that we shall hit our mark. Do you want to take the risk, whatever you might be?

Okay, needs to recount... 4 + 2 + 5

One of you dead toDay, other making a suicide, the wolves killing an innocent during the Night leaves us with...

4 + 4

Right.

Unless the ranger saves us (possible but not too good a chance).


So you're on the dark side already then?

But hey, why would you lose in purpose? I mean yes, you obviously could bring about our downfall but why do it? To pressure us into saving you?

Well a fair deal... (so we're not going to be the ones to pressure you after all... )

But to be a deal, then help us lynch a wolf toDay.


EDIT: X'd with two Roa-votes

[Roa_Aoife]

Alright, Pitch isn't here. Sally didn't vote yesterday, and if she doesn't vote toDay, she gets modfired. (So, sorry, Nog, but I can't risk our village on whether or not Sally makes it in time.)

Nogrod's reaction looks innocent to me, and Loslote does as well.

That leaves:

Brinn
Inzil
McCaber
Nerwen


3 submarines and Inzil. Great.


Alright, Nerwen has slid by us all with ease. Aside from my very minor suspicion on Day 1, no one's paid her any attention. That to me is the most dangerous.

++nerwen


And I hope the wolves kill one of you two.

[Roa_Aoife]

Oh, is that how it is?

--Nerwen

++Fea

If we're going to lose anyway, then so are you.

I'm sure he'd do the same for me.

Actually, after Roa's vote, I might just go for her. Or I might not ...

It makes no difference to us Roa. We were likely to lose toDay or toNight anyway, so it makes no odds to us.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Yes, really, it was either watch myself die, or watch myself die with glee.

Would you really deny me glee?

No, not particularly so. We just want to be left alone. We don't care who wins.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Which is to say, whoever offers us a sweeter deal might sway us.

Or not.

We'd be happy snogging off in a corner and leaving all y'all to your own fate.

Well... sort of.

You've kind of made that clear already...

But I must say I am amazed by Roa's reaction to the situation...

I mean if we bag a wolf toDay and the wolves don't get one of you we will be at 3 + 2 + 4 (= 3 + 6 countingwise) toMorrow! And getting one wolf would greatly enhance our "deductive capabilities" as there would be leads to read into toMorrow.

Hey ranger: look at these dynamics when choosing who to guard the coming Night! There could be a reason to guard one of the cuties if we bag a wolf. (sorry if I voice self-evident facts)

Now THAT looks suspicious. Did I not just say no vote splitting? This is the opposite of helpful!

Add Roa to my list of probably wolves, bringing the total up to: Roa and McCaber. Still missing two.

Actually, I think that it may have been cast more out of annoyance.

Still, whichever team she is on, she has just reduced their chance of winning.

Exactly. It was the opposite of helpful, and Roa is usually at least slightly more logical than that.

[Nogrod]

Well then...

Of Greenie-voters there's only Roa left for me to think about. Her reaction was pretty weird but as Spm said, it might have been an act of frustration as well. She does have better maths and a keener eye to be honest... but then again she was in a hurry. Hard to say. I don't like her vote-change (or her original vote to be sure) at all but I'm not sure she should be lynched for them. Needs to think.

Looking back at Fea voters it seems it's actually only Nerwen who voted for her after she had turned out very suspicious-looking (what were you after anyway there Fea, it just beats me - but maybe we can discuss it in the post-game discussion?). So basically looking at Pitchie's and Inzil's votes there are no too well made arguments behind them. But other than that they have looked very reasonable to me.

(Why am I talking in this tone? Well I thought that those who voted for Fea were quite innocentish to my eye as Fea was so suspicious-looking yesterDay but then I looked back and saw that the two voted for Fea before the final show started).

Lottie and Brinn voted for McCaber and I can't blame them on that. Actually I could join them - or whoever - to do that toDay. His little entry early on the Day making an excuse / apology looked downright horrible. I asked him to come forwards and say something more but it has had no effect so far.

Sally then? I have no idea and she said she would be RL-busy already beforehand. Probably not a wolf? Or a very unfair winner if it comes to that... to the point of discrediting that win then.

But we should get it right toDay - as Spm so nicely elucidates... get it right toDay and the lovers are (maybe) with us, get it wrong and they will side with the baddies ending the game... So what do you think people?

[Nienna]

[Mirandir]

*pulls up a seat next to Nienna*

[Nerwen]

Well, that was an eye-opener, and no mistake.

About the Lovers: they haven't actually said they'll side with the wolves. They've said they can if they want to.

Thus, Roa's voting Fea is rather precipitous.

But not as much as her voting me! What was that about?
EDIT:X'd since Fea.

Actually, a good point. No one else suspected you. What could that be except for a vote-splitter? Roa is rapidly looking more and more suspicious to me.

A fair point. I think that it really comes down to whether you lynch a Wolf or an Innocent toDay. If you lynch a Wolf, the Nog is right here. If you lynch an Innocent, then the Wolves can leave us be and grab a win toMorrow.

So, you see. Your destiny is still in your own hands (or keyboard), whatever you may be.
