Mira, the narration usually says "something more interesting" when there's been a Ranger save too. I think our moddess is deliberately trying to leave us in the dark.

The following is more a personal thinking out post– obviously half the logic here rests on my being innocent, and only the wolf (or wolves) knows I'm telling the truth:

Now, about yesterDay: so there were three lynch-candidates. Of those, I happen to know that the only one who could have been a wolf is Skip. So Wolf 4 I think, more likely to be among the bandwagon-hoppers than those who really pushed to lynch Morsul or me. (Legate? Mira? Skip himself? Lommy?)

This logic would, then, rule out Shasta, Brinn or Aganbeing a wolf yesterDay.

(But that's still quite a big assumption– they're all experienced players who might deliberately do the opposite of what you'd expect.)

Nerwen, this post being from your point-of-view... does this mean you don't suspect Brinn of being a wolf any more?

Nah. Actually I suspect everyone except Lottie. I'm just trying to think things through.

I already stated this. Morsul was attracting attention and trying to get himself lynched. A lone wolf would not do that because he'd lose the game not just for himself, but his entire team. Giving up would be a selfish and lame move, and I didn't think Morsul would do that.
1. I didn't like the other two options (Nerwen and Skip). I figured they were at best ordos, and at worst gifted (although if so, they might have revealed). Morsul I figured was at worst ordo and at best the unicorn, which could give us Greenie (and thus several roles, including a possible wolf - we don't know who she dreamed her last Night) or Boro (and a functional Shirriff team) or a known innocent (always helpful).

2. He might well. He did that to his innocent team, now didn't he?

See, that's the other thing about Brinniel– she sounded like she knew Morsul was innocent.

And I guess the wolf would care which innocent got lynched if it seemed likely one was the Unicorn. But then, she suspected me before that came up.

So... still on the fence.

That is somewhat ambiguous, isn't it? The role will be revealed "when they die".

If a cursed was struck tonight the question is whether he or she first died and then rose up as a wolf or merely turned into a wolf without dying. The latter seems more likely to me if it wasn't a ranger-save, and wouldn't require the role to be revealed. Otherwise the narration would have to tell us that someone was turned into a wolf tonight. Ultimately, there's no way of knowing unless Wilwa tells us.

In any case we need to focus on smoking out the last remaining wolf. If he or she then has a cub left in the litter we deal with that one too.

What happened in the night if the cursed was turned:
wolf: *stalks towards cursed* "Heya mate I'm here to kill you rawr!"
cursed: "Yikes!"
wolf: *bites*
cursed: *sprouts fur* "Omigod I didn't die!"
wolf: "Let's go kick some village butt yay!"

So basically the cursed didn't die, ergo there's no need to reveal her role (and doing that would kind of undermine the point of having a cursed anyway). It will be revealed when/if she's lynched.

And everybody except the wolf/wolves and the gifteds sleep tightly at night and don't know what exactly has been going on... so it's understandable wilwa didn't tell us any more. However because this is a game, we have a right to be curious and try to pester her until she reveals stuff.

Where did that 1/5 come from? If we lynched the unicorn today, there would be a 1/11 chance that Greenie comes back, 2/11 for Lottie to be happy and 3/11 that no one is resurrected.
And the ranger can't protect herself.

Why? It's certain they couldn't be packmates yesterday, but there's nothing to say that if one of them is a wolf she went after the other (for whatever reason) and found her cursed.

Whether the cursed was turned or not, our safest bet is to try to find the fourth wolf instead of arguing what happened in the night. Either wilwa tells us or not. I'd rather consider today the continuation of yesterday with practically no new information - yeah Morsul died but it's hardly surprising he was innocent.

So, 10 of us alive now. In the worst case scenario (no ranger saves, no unicorn kill/unicorn doesn't bring anyone back), if there's just one wolf left she has to survive for five days. If there are two wolves, however, they have to stay alive for three days. So I'd say we can afford one mislynch, at most two.
And our situation becomes considerably worse if the unicorn brings Fea back.

It's possible but better not to count on it. And if the cursed was turned, it would be in the fourth wolf's interests to give us a false sense of safety. Which means your comment made you rise again on my suspicion list.

Ahh okay, I got it. It was mostly that "Mira was dead by then" part that confused me.

So... thanks for the answers, although you mostly just commented on my case and only answered a few of the questions I asked you.

Commenting is fine by itself. But your comment looked sinister. Yes I know there wasn't much to talk about yet and we had to start from somewhere, but there was just something about the comment, the way it was phrased or something. I don't think you can answer to it any better, but it's still creepy.

What does your comment about wolf tactics tending to run in cycles actually mean and could you give some examples?

That's alright. But when it has happened with every wolf we've lynched, it makes one wonder.

You said you wouldn't ignore the Lottie-voters (Lommy, Green & Legate) because the circumstances of the bandwagon were odd. Why were they odd?

It was a single comment. You made a big number of it. I personally don't think she was distorting what you said, in the sense that it represented your tone towards Glirdan quite well. Take it or leave it, you looked somewhat wishy-washy when it came to lynching him. That's the impression I got and I wasn't the only one.

Quote:

So when the seer says somebody looks maybe the most innocent of us all, it means nothing?

When I came I just skimmed through Nerwen's answers and was like alright she seems to be making sense... But it quite looks like she had tried to avoid certain questions. Which doesn't make me feel any better about her.

I agree with Legate the remaining gifteds could maybe start to consider revealing... There are 10 of us now and if they revealed, it would leave only 7 (or 6, if the ranger made a succesful save and was told of it) unknown people. Yes it would make finding the cursed easier for the wolf (unless she already did it), but at the same time it would narrow the field of potential wolves.

Me too, but we can never be certain... There are simply too many ways for the wolf to act. Thus far they've killed those that looked the most innocent but we have no way of knowing how long that pattern will continue.

If you must choose between yourself and an unknown and you know you're innocent, it's better for you to kill the unknown (expecially now that the seer is already dead). So I don't think Nerwen's retraction to improve her own chances of survival tells us anything about her role.

I like Shasta's analysis of Mira.. If Nerwen is not a wolf, Mira would probably be my second bet.

No it would annoy me if you did have reasons because they are bound to be bad.

I think you too missed my point but enough of that. You however have yet to explain to me why dumping the retractables would be good for the innocent team but bad for the wolves, as you stated earlier.

Garrr I've been explaining it almost every day!

I'm not urging anybody to dump their retraction (like I did). But especially if there are more wolves (who can communicate at night), they can use their retractions to lynch somebody they want (eg instead of one of them), which in turn can help them to win. Basically they can plan strategies that depend on the retractions. Innocents can't do the same because we don't have the necessary knowledge (ie it's not almost all the same to us who gets lynched) nor the means of communication (apart from the Sheriffs) which means the retractions are not as useful to us as they can be to the wolves.

Speaking of which... Nerwen and I don't have ours left, everybody else has.

I have answered every point of yours that I could see. If there were other points I didn't deliberately ignore them, I just didn't recognise them as points.

I can't even remember what I meant at the time– I think that it seemed to come out of nowhere. I never could understand why Lottie was suspicious.

You see? There's nothing in it and you know it. You have obsessed about a completely natural, sensible and, frankly, obvious comment I made early in the game beyond all reason. Get over it.

Do you know who else pursued another player relentlessly for saying something like, "we should scrutinize winty's vote?" That's right. Nogwolf. After innocent Zil.

It wasn't my first thought. I was listing all possible reasons why wolves might kill someone. Again, get over it.

I thought it was self-explanatory. But okay, take wolf-on-wolf suspicions, then. Why is this important, anyway?

All your points are like this, Agan. They're taking extremely minor things I've said and blowing them out of all proportion. There's so many that anyone skimming your posts probably thinks you've made an awesome watertight case against me.

And yes, I'm angry now. I'm feeling extremely frustrated with this situation.
What annoys me is that I have played an excellent game in terms of wolf-spotting, and my reward is having to defend every single trivial, casual remark I've made in the entire game. Looking for wolf-slips is one thing, but the amount of quibbling you're doing is through the roof.

I'm actually only defending myself for the benefit of other players. You, I'm sure, will never back down or admit you might have been wrong, no matter what I say.

EDIT:X'd with Lommy and Agan.

More underlinings and italics.

But Nerwen, I have to say I know how you feel. She always does that to me and it can really drive you crazy. But, I also think you should know Agan is like that: painfully nit-picky* and you should also know we others don't blindly follow her because we know we have said a dozen small stupid things ourselves along the game (or I would at least aaume I have although can't recall anything).

*and just for her defense: she seems to find that useful and often it is.

But anyway it's kind of disturbing watch you two back-and-forth since you are my top suspects. Quite eerie, because I can't really tell which one of you is evil (if either... )...

Well, I'm angry now, if that makes you feel better– see my last post. I just don't lose my cool easily– you should know that by now. But I'm in the process of losing it at the moment, let me tell you.

Besides, Lommy, if I'd been reacting more strongly from the first, are you sure you wouldn't now be saying, "Ooo! Defensive! Clearly a cornered wolf!"

...what? ...why? I don't get this point at all.
I mean the wolf, whoever it is, wouldn't have needed to push very hard to get an innocent lynched. Though that isn't a sure guide– other things do come into it, like individual temperament.

Nerwen 2 votes, Aganzir 1? Whichever I vote, I will feel like an idiot if she turns out innocent...

Currently leaning on Aganzir though, not because she seems any more guilty but because she has less votes atm so it'd be more balanced (and more interesting toMorrow in case the game continues).

On the other hand, we can take for granted that Nerwen is going to vote Agan so it's kind of 2-2.

Hmm...

It might just be a language issue.
And you can compare me to Nogwolf all you want, but this is how I play. And I know I can be horrible. And if you really are innocent, I'm sorry.

I don't because I think there are certain tactics that remain always pretty much the same... And it's important because wolves have been caught before for saying things that look self-explanatory but aren't. I might note that you have been caught that way before.

What annoys me is that I have played an excellent game in terms of wolf-spotting, and my reward is having to defend every single trivial, casual remark I've made in the entire game. Looking for wolf-slips is one thing, but the amount of quibbling you're doing is through the roof.
Nerwen, seriously - when it's you we're talking about, it doesn't matter how many wolves you have spotted. You can still be one yourself.
As I said, you'll have my sincere apologies after the game if you're innocent. I never tried to annoy you on purpose. However at the moment I'm just rather convinced you're a wolf and I won't have peace until I know for sure so no, I'm not going to back away now.

Well, you're wrong. That's all I can say.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Alirin walked and walked and walked. She wasn’t sure really where she was, or how far she was from the blue door, if she was going in a circle or not, the path went in all sort of directions so she really had no idea of where she could be heading. Finally after a long time of not seeing anything but trees and flowers she saw something extremely familiar.

Alirin walked up to the March Hare’s home and looked at the long table. The *teapot* was still sitting in the same spot and the Hatter was still face down in his cup. However the March Hare was no longer at the table, he was sitting on his door step. All around him on the ground he had cups and teapots and biscuits. He was drinking a large cup of tea while also pouring sugar into a flower bed beside him and jittering nervously to himself.

Alirin sat down on the ground facing him and tried to find a clean cup to have some tea as well.

“Have some wine.” he offered trying to smile at her, though it looked rather twitchy.

Alirin looked around. “I don’t see any wine.”

“There isn’t any.” he replied. Alirin was about to say something about how uncivil that was but chose not too because of the Hare’s fragile state. Alirin sat quietly for a time as the Hare mumbled “twinkle, twinkle, twinkle” over and over again while wringing his long ears.

“He’s gone even madder!” Alirin thought to herself, “Though considering his friends died it is not surprising.” This thought she had also made her wonder why she hadn’t yet gone mad, considering all the death she had witness in Wonderland. Though the Cat had told her she was already mad, perhaps he had been right.

As she continued to contemplate her madness the Hare had now started eating a plum cake and was saying “best butter, best butter” over and over to himself.
Alirin began to grow bored of the Hare, who was clearly going bonkers and was not in the mood for conversation. But she was tired of walking and decided to sit a while longer.

“How are you feeling Mr. Hare?” she decided to ask him. He jumped at the sound of her voice and looked at her wide eyed, as though he had forgotten she was there the whole time.

“I didn’t steal anything.” he said.

“I said feel, not steal.” she said, being sure to annunciate clearly.

“I don’t like eels.” the Hare said, shaking his head very quickly and looking closely at his spoon.

Alirin decided to give up, and was about to get up and leave when the Hare got up first. She thought he might go inside his home, but instead he started to climb up it. In no time at all he was sitting on top of his roof with a teapot and his plum cake. This behaviour was just too odd for Alirin to ignore.

“Mr. Hare, I have to insist that you come back down!” she hollered up to him. He looked at her startled again. “He really keeps forgetting I’m here!” she thought to herself. This time he was so terrified by her presence that he begun pacing quickly back and forth while talking to his teapot about butter and bats, and eventually he was going so fast that he lost his balanced and tumbled off the back of his house.

Surprisingly Alirin was not surprised by this, since it had become rather normal for everyone in her presence to perish suddenly. So she once again started to walk back down the path, wondering if anyone would ever survive more than five minutes in her presence.

Silmaril Day 7

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Alirin walked down the path feeling greatly depressed. She decided she had to do something to cheer herself up. After a few moments of thought she decided that skipping would do the trick. She skipped down the path for a few moments and really started to feel much happier. This is when she saw a long wall up ahead and an egg sitting on top. As she got closer to it she could see that this egg had a face and arms and legs and knew that it had to be Humpty Dumpty himself.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

“Tell me your name and your business.” he said to her as she stopped in front of him.

“My name is Alirin.”

“That’s a stupid enough name!” Humpty Dumpty said, “What does it mean?”

“Must a name mean something?” Alirin asked.

“Of course it must!” Humpty said, “My name means the shape I am, and a good handsome shape it is! With a name like yours, you might be any shape!”

“Why do you sit here all alone?” Alirin asked, not wishing to start an argument.

“Why, because there’s nobody with me!” cried Humpty Dumpty.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

“Don’t you think you’d be safer on the ground? You could fall off.” she asked him.

“Of course I would not! Now if I ever did fall off – which would never happen – but IF I were to, why the king has promised me, with his very own mouth, that he would –“

“Send all his horses and all his men.” Alirin finished.

All the kings horses and all the kings men

“Why, I declare!” Humpty Dumpty declared, “You’ve been listening at doors, and behind trees, and down chimneys, or else you wouldn’t have known that!”

“What a nice belt you have!”Alirin remarked, ignoring the accusation that she eavesdropped.

“Thank you. It was a un-birthday present from the White King and Queen.” he answered, looking rather proud when he mentioned the royals.

“What is a un-birthday present?” Alirin asked.

“Clearly, it is a present you receive on a day that is not your birthday.” he answered.

“I think I prefer birthday presents.” Alirin responded.

“Well, that is ridiculous. How many days of the year is it your birthday?” he asked.

“One.” she responded.

“How many days are there in a year?” Humpty Dumpty questioned, crossing his arms and leaning forward. Alirin was sure he’d fall off at any moment.

“Three hundred and sixty five, of course.” she replied.

“So therefore, how many days are there that are not your birthday?” he asked.

“Three hundred and sixty four.” she answered.

“So then there are three hundred and sixty four days to get un-birthday presents, and only one day to get a birthday present, making un-birthday presents much better.”

Alirin didn’t want to argue so she asked Humpty Dumpty if there was anything special about the belt.

“Why yes, in fact there is.” he answered. “It helps me protect people!”

“From what?” she asked.

“Various things that people would need protecting from, of course!” Humpty Dumpty answered, looking very proud. Suddenly he lost his balance, just as she had been predicting, and came tumbling to the ground into a hundreds of little pieces.

Couldn’t put Humpty together again

Alirin continued down the path once more, not in the mood for skipping any longer.

Oh, Gumdrop Buttons, and another list!

I trust:
Me.

I mostly trust:
Agan
Shasta
Brinn

I don't know about:
WW
Lommy

I suspect:
Nerwen
Legate

I want a Legate lynch. I may settle for a Nerwen lynch, but only if there is absolutely no chance of a Legate lynch.

And I don't think Legate was the Cursed, I think he was always a wolf. If there is a Cursed, I think it's Nerwen, which is why I want Legate lynched first.

Alright, can I just say that Brinn isn't the only one who is really bothered by winty's fly-by voting?

Back with more a bit later, probably on Legate/Nerwen/Agan or thereabouts. I really don't think we can afford to keep ignoring winty for long, though.

Agreed about WW; he's getting rather worrisome.

So, skip was our ranger. You know, I can't imagine ranger is an easy role for a newbie to play....skip did a decent job of laying low, until now at least. And he did especially good if he managed a save (which we still don't know).

Btw, I told you Mira was an easy lynch. Silly people. Seriously though, these last two Days have had pretty lousy lynch choices, in my opinion.

Can we please lynch Nerwen toDay? I still find her suspicious and whatever her role may be, knowing it will at least ease my mind. Okay, I promise to try looking at others too to see if anyone else turns up more suspicious, but I really don't have much time toDay.

Also, if Lottie is still alive, does this mean our wolf is still looking for the cursed? Or maybe he/she wants us to think that way. Or perhaps Lottie is so off in her suspicions, that it's actually better to keep her alive. Just speculating here.

As for winty, I don't like how he's voting out of nowhere, but I'm just wondering if that's just poor innocent behaviour rather than wolfish. While his voting makes me uneasy, I don't think he's worth lynching toDay at least...possibly another easy lynch.

Btw, we have two Days to get this right if the cursed is out there, three if it's just one wolf. We're so close and I would just hate it if we lost now.

I wouldn't object to a Nerwen-lynch. As I've said, I'd prefer a Legate-lynch, but Nerwen's my second choice.

Or the wolves guessed that the Ranger would protect me - after all, with the Cursed turned, they'd have no reason not to kill me (known innocent that I am) and so went after the Ranger instead, maybe.

Is this because I played differently yesterDay? I was just tired and exasperated, Lottie. I'm annoyed at myself now. Defending yourself strongly– yes, even if you're innocent– is usually a mistake, and one I shouldn't have made. (In fact forcing an innocent to defend himself until he looked suspicious used to be a very popular wolf-tactic, though it seems to have fallen out of favour recently.)

What I'm concerned about now is that your willingness to accept me as a backup lynch is going to make it very hard to get a wolf toDay, since it seems I'm almost guaranteed votes from Agan and Brinn anyway.

I wonder if he did? I mean if Wilwa would have let him know?

I don't know what to say, Brinniel. I'm not a wolf, and it's getting too late in the game to lynch people "to ease your mind" (cf Mira). I answered the case against me yesterDay in full, but if that won't satisfy you there's nothing more I can say.

It could be any of those things– though I wonder if the wolf/ves suspected Skip's role?

EDIT:X'd with Lottie.
