WW CVII: Restless Nights in Sleepy Hollow - Game Thread

[A Little Green]

Well, if the wolves thought Agan was the Seer and had dreamed Inzil, they either consider her completely dishonourable or didn't read the thread very carefully. Agan only found out the game had started two hours before deadline yesterDay, so unless she lied about that, there's no way she could have dreamed anybody. Mind you, they might still have thought she was the Seer on some other grounds, but as to what those might be, I've no idea. Or else they just figured that her voting mistake would make her look very innocent and decided to be rid of her for that reason? Then again, targeting anyone but a potential Seer doesn't really make sense at this stage so I don't know.

Although I'm pretty certain there's a wolf who voted me, odds are there's at least one who went for Legate. It narrows the possibilities at least that one on each bandwagon is gone.

I'm not sure it can be called a wagon, to be honest. I mean - three people voting for Legate, one because Legate voted him, another because of an argument now proven to be completely wrong, and the third because she preferred playing with Inzil to playing with Legate. (Sorry to phrase it so bluntly but I seriously dislike the "I like playing with this guy so I'm not going to vote for him" -argument, even on a Day 1. I was prepared to argue about it with Agan toDay but obviously can't now. )

So you voted for Mac to bait him? Was that it?

Incorrect. I said Inzil was being inconsistent (suspecting McCaber but voting for Mac), but that doesn't necessarily equal suspicious. If you have a suggestion as to what an evil Inzil would accomplish by that, please tell me.

Greenie is fine, Agan just got the idea somewhere and is determined to use it, but she's more or less the only one who does.

Err... Mac? Are you in fact telling us how your wolf tactics this game are going to be smoother than last time?

Blown up by a whole lot mostly because I struggled to phrase what I had in mind and didn't manage to do it in a more concise manner.


EDIT: x-ed with Rikae

Sorry. I must have been unclear in explaining what I meant. What I was trying to get at was that you asked why McCaber is suspicious and added a point against him in quick succession. Obviously might be a simple case of thinking while typing, but it could as well be a case of subtly adding suspicion on a player while keeping your hands clean.

[A Little Green]

Right kiddos, it's outrageously late here so I need to head to bed. I'll be back some hours before deadline to post more and vote.

Pretty much. I couldn't see voting anyone but him or Cab, and I wanted to see how Mac and others would react.

A wolf might have wanted Cab lynched, but not to be in the wagon. He might have been wolf-on-wolfing. Could be lots of things. But what I wonder is: why would an innocent Greenie repeatedly bring up such inconsistencies without any intent to either cast, or to answer, suspicion?

As for my posts on Cab, I can't see how it would be unclear to any honest reader: I was surprised by Inzil & Legate's suspicion which seemed disproportionate, and then made a guess as to what they meant: something I had noticed but didn't consider particularly significant myself.

What would be the point of sneakily casting suspicion on someone who was, at that point, the most suspected anyway?

I don't recall saying either Cab or Mac were doubleplussuspicious. On a slow Day, that little bit with Mac seemingly answering your summons, and Cab calling him on it, just stood out.

Alright, I pretty much just have the time to vote now and then won't be able to make it back on, as I said the DL is quite early in the morning for me. If I'm alive for Day 3 it will no longer be a holiday so I should have quite a bit more time to contribute.

I feel quite good about Rikae and Mac, and just in the chance that the wolves did think Agan a seer for her behaviour about Inzil I won't vote for him today (Nerwen suggested it could be a bluff to protect him from getting votes again, but to me Night 1 is not the time to start worrying about protecting themselves from random votes they got, rather than go after the seer, so I'm inclined to think they thought she could have dreamed him). That doesn't mean I'll never consider him again, but for now I think I'll go elsewhere.

McCaber hasn't contributed yet today, and Shasta not really enough for me yet, so I'll leave out them. So my choices are then Greenie, Nerwen or Sally.

I'll go with this:

++Greenie

I admit, more from process of elimination of who I really don't want to vote for, rather than because I really find her suspicious.

Slight chance I'll be up early enough to come back, but more than likely I won't be on until Day 3, when I seriously hope to have the time to do more.

May I read "because of an argument now proven to be completely wrong" as "don't look back at what I did there, because it reeks of wolfishness"?

I mean, of course the argument is now proven wrong. That always happens whenever an innocent gets lynched. Why point it out as such while being vague about the detail? It really has a taste of you trying to absolve yourself of making a bad case, and that makes me suspicious.


Unrelated: Shall we call it the Legate band-tricycle?

[Inziladun]

Hmm. There's still a distinct lack of activity from some, which is problematic.

I can see Wilwa's point on Greenie, and the latter's vote for Legate still looks off. The fact that Mac appears to be probing toward a possible Greenie vote gives me pause though.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'm uncertain as to whether or not Rikae is more or less suspicious based on her response, but I'll leave it lie for not. Have to admit, I'm not seeing where the suspicion on Greenie is coming from, but that might just be that I'm playing from my phone (it's storming) and it's difficult to fully read the thread when I can't make notes.
