sallly! Really! When Mac himself hath spoken, what further need to belabour the point? Who's manipulating and obfuscating now?

The alphabet is as random as anything (unlike, say, Tengwar and Angerthas

), which is why Mac's proposal to tie toDay's Medium empowerment to something as random as which player follows which in the alphabet rather than concrete suspicions, likely or unlikely pack constellations etc. didn't and doesn't sit right with me. He's backpedalled now, but it still may have been an attempt by a wolf to manipulate the empowerment while looking super helpful. And if this is so, I could see either of Kath and Lommy as his packmate and the other as the cobbler.

That said, I can live with Rikae's list.

Thinlómien · 06-11-2020, 02:09 PM

Okay *stops washing hands*

LET'S GO WITH RIKAE'S LIST THEN AND STOP DEBATING.

Thinlómien · 06-11-2020, 02:16 PM

Okay more spoilers from my upcoming posts:

I'm getting really worried about Brinn. (This is gonna slightly rephrase something Rikae said earlier, I believe, but I just made the same observation myself.) She has spent lots of energy analysing things toDay and whether she's looking at who said what about Legate, or what Legate said about others, or randomly analysing Pitchwife, the same people come off as guilty every single time: Kath, Mac and Pitch, with an occasional Rikae or Sally thrown in.

You would think an innocent's posts would have more variation and genuine flipflopping/hesitation, but Brinn seems pretty certain.

Which makes me think Brinn's a wolf trying to lay grounds for voting and make sure a not-wolf gets lynched.

Which would likely make Pitch, Kath and Mac innocent, and Shasta whom Brinn scarcely mentions except to say Greenie maybe dreamt of innocent!Shasta a likely fellow wolf. The remaining wolf would then be either Sally or Rikae.

edit: xed with Shasta and Mac

Kath · 06-11-2020, 02:19 PM

I quite like the irony in Lommy, who was the first person to modify the list, washing her hands of the whole thing and claiming everybody else were the ones to mess it up.

It's still between Brinn, Rikae, sally and Shasta for me. That's not in order of suspicion as I now need to go look at them.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-11-2020, 02:24 PM

I wasn't criticizing anything, I was giving a warning.

Without a suggestion on how to fix it, that amounts to the same.

In your opinion, one has to have a solution on-hand to bring attention to a problem?

Thinlómien · 06-11-2020, 02:24 PM

Sheesh Kath, I suggested a small edit something like 6h before the deadline. Absolutely different from these last hours' mess.

That vote of Shasta's I'm not too happy with. We cannot afford to mislynch toDay. I think an innocent would not be so quick to vote someone toDay without weighing their decision.

Okay, Lommy/Mac for sure. Who's the third, do we think? Kath?

satansaloser2005 · 06-11-2020, 02:30 PM

I have to vote very soon, unfortunately. I have a break coming up shortly, but then I will need to buckle down and get some stuff done at work.

x'd with Mac

I wanted to say "I'd much rather be on the same team with Kath and Mac than in the wolf team you have with Brinn" but I'm afraid such a statement might make a subject of ridicule when the game is over.

To be fair I really am not sure at all who is what and I'm suffering.

But I obviously trust Nilp. Then probably Kath, then Mac and Rikae. Sally and Pitchwife are ?? to me. Shasta and Brinn look the worst at the moment.

It's interesting how this seems to be splitting into some kind of camps. Innocents keep your eyes open. Fur will start to show soon.

edit: xed with the last 4

I get me looking the wurst (ha!) to you as I've made myself your probable designated mis-execute, but Brinn? Nah. She looks the best of anyone, IMO.

Possibly, but I wouldn't rule out sally either.

For what it's worth, while I was suspicious of Rikae this Morning their subsequent posting is making me feel better. Don't know about their suspicion of Brinn - while I feel Rikae may have a point about Brinn trying to commandeer the interpretation of Greenie's possible dreams, I also happen to concur with some of Brinn's suspicions.

I was on a conference call and had the post open, so neener.

Who who the fork are we even lynching?

Really?

I tried to fix this mess. Rikae at least was constructive. Pitch and Shasta were criticizing things without offering an alternative!

I don't want to be kneejerk and say one is a cobbler and one is a wolf, but one is a cobbler and one is a wolf!

Shasta very much. Sally maybe. Brinn I find unlikely. I think you're too quick to discard Pitch as a cobbler.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-11-2020, 02:16 PM

Absolutely not.
