WW: XCVIII ~ Game Thread ~ Death at the Foot of Taniquetil

[Pomegranate]

Haha, I feel that my explanations must seem a bit strained, but I'd like to keep a conversation going and there's not really a lot to say in this game. Where are you people? Yes, yesterday some people might've just forgotten, but now we've had appearances from Boro, Shasta, sally and Greenie, none of them leading to a lot of discussion. This is an easy game to hide in the quiet crowd. The question is, are these the kind of players that would do that? Perhaps, unless they have another reasons for their quietness. It doesn't make a good game, though.

Bleurgh!

My keyboard has gone partly crazy> I must have hit some queer key/combination *see!( as my special marks come from totally odd keys and some have disappeared totally like _ aka. the questionmark...

Does anyone know what kind of combinations change the keys_

*I\ll try closing the machine first though(

I'm back!

I also thought if Nog wasn't a wolf he would try the same, therefor it was a mental check to myself "don't jump on anyone looking wolvish early on, especially Nog. Wait and see what happens."

Ah. I see the point now. I was thinking more about that outlook (and especially talking about it out loud early on) creating quite a sweet counter-argument for a wolf against pretty much any accusation: "I was just trying to look like a wolf to confuse the real wolves!" Which would lead to things getting even more muddled up than they already are, which is why I didn't buy the argument.

That makes sense - but seems like a lot of plotting to go into a single "here's the plan" -post. Was the whole post written just to confuse the wolvsies or were you going to say the content anyway and only formulated it in a wolf-confusing way?

Re. Nog and Shasta: Nog, what I was getting at (I can't speak for Pom and Nerwen) was that I think you grossly overreacted to a completely normal statement. It's like asking why somebody posted "Back now, had a long day at work! " and even added a smiley to the end. Looks slightly like paranoia to me. Then again, one could argue that you need to be paranoid to have any success whatsoever in catching wolves in this game. So, to flip flop like a proper Lommy (someone has to fill her shoes, right?) I don't agree with Nog's point about Shasta but it doesn't necessarily make me suspect him more.

This cracked me up and then I felt horrible because computer trouble is never fun. Hope you manage to solve it!

Thanks. Yeah, I shot the laptop off and then on again. Darn shortcut -key combinations...

I agree. The same might also apply to your point about Nerwen, though - I read what she said as simply not understanding your "jump" (for want of a better word) on Shasta, which I find quite logical seeing as I didn't understand it either.

Freudian slip?

Okay. I needs be off for a while now.

Hard to say anything with such a low posting game - and it is kind of unfair also that those I kind of feel the most suspicious are Pom and Nerwen who both have contributed by not only posting but also making points.

Coppermirror has posted quite a lot while in the end saying pretty little (as what comes to suspecting anyone) - which is basic good-werewolf -playing or innocent's lack of good points to make.

Boro has had RL problems, but still I think he is too much talking nice (or even defending others) to my taste as that always feels pretty scary. You all know the "love you during the Day and stab you at Night"...

Greenie is more or less the opposite of Boro which should make me feel safer with her. Which is aleways a problem as it is so hard for me not to suspect her (she's both fooled & got me killed too many times). But yes, to begin with I think her more innocent than not just because it would sound mad for a wolf, in this kind of quiet village, to come forwards with suspicions flying. Too much publicity, too many eyes looking at you...

I might even vote for a submarine that is not going to be mod-fired... just to keep those who play around.
