WWJ II: Welcome to Lower Tadfield. The Apocalypse has Now Begun.

[Kitanna]

Ok, I had time to eat dinner and shower and that gave me time to think. I decided to do as Wilwa did and take my five main suspects and throw their names in a hat and pull out one. (suspects in case you're wondering or even care: DEATH, Sleepy Ranger, Glirdan, Tar, and Gurthang) I closed my eyes, drew out a name and came up with

++Sleepy Ranger

Now...why I suspected SR.

As for blaming somebody.....blame?....accuse would be a better word, no? Anyway as long as we don't throw it around randomly and think it over logically I daresay we'll be heading in the right direction. At the moment I don't really find anybody suspicious, I mean its just the first day so nothings clear.

Granted we need to start somewhere but accusations off occupations are rather baseless since the occupation has no meaning. I'm going to do what I did in the last game and just observe for the first day before actually devoting myself in the next when we'll have some harder evidence.

Now my whole purpose of posting my list at the beginning was to see how people responded to a random accusation. I felt uneasy each time SR brought up thinking logically and not pointing the blame due to randomness. If we all sat around looking at opening posts and trying to find logic in them we'd be doomed. He says "We need to start somewhere..." but if we do not put some form of accusation out there (no matter how random) then we can't really start.

perhaps people are just trying to back up a random post with evidence that isn't there. Anyway the first day does tend to be quite random and hopefully by the next we won't be falling to things such as occupations and actually going off something solid.

I find this to contradict itself. He says people are giving random posts for evidence that isn't there, but right away he says things today are going to be quite random. So then, why is there just a problem for random suspicions and evidence if that seems to be what day one is made of?

And finally SR voted for Glirdan, for "reasons stated by other people", well which reasons? Which people? Perhaps SR is trying to start a bandwagong, seeing as there is already one vote for Glirdan.

um i happen to agree with sr. what good is stabbing in the dark the whole game through. logic. tell me why. what is behind it all? that is what we need to see, cold hard logic. we won't get anywere without it. but there is a great derth of that Day one. so........

++willwa there is no logic and this is a completly random vote. i didn't even do the names in a hat trick...

[Gurthang]

Well, I have to leave and won't be back toDay. So I will go with:

++Márcolië Lamen

Because she is the only one who I think is acting strange and who has not recieved a vote yet. See you all tomorrow.... hopefully.

[tar-ancalime]

Oh dear, it's getting a little hot under the collar here! It seems I've had an inauspicious first DAY.

I feel the need to explain myself a little.

First, this:

Tar: I'm still a little suspicious of, because of his flip flopage. He's not posted in a while, either. Dunno, but I doubt I'll vote for him. I'd rather keep an eye on him for a while first.

If you will toddle over to the planning thread, you'll see that I noted I am in Asia. I'm at GMT +7, which is exactly 12 hours different from the Eastern U.S. That means I will post when I can, but posting during the most active hours for you would mean staying up all night. This I cannot do. Look for me at the beginning and ending of each DAY.

Next, the "flip-flop issue."

I will admit that when I heard of this terrible tragedy in our village, I felt in my old bones that something needed to be done. I spoke in terror, in horror of the tales of other villages that have turned on their own innocents. As I have stated above, I was wrong. I should not have advised quiet or waiting. Since trying to correct my tragic error, I have been consistent. I have urged people to voice their suspicions.

Unfortunately my errors did not end there. I posted this, which has raised some suspicions:

But of course, Gurthang! I said that we should refrain from accusing the innocent. But I also know that whomever I accuse is sure to be guilty, so no worries there.

This was mere bravado, an attempt to cancel the overcaution of my previous post. It was another error, I can see now.

I do not want to be a silent, helpless (and unhelpful) bystander who watches my village slowly dwindle. Unfortunately, in all my long years I have never had to deal with a menace of this nature. I hope that you can forgive an old woman for what ought to be a young person's mistakes.

I have also fallen under suspicion for having a "prime suspect" so early in the game. Tell me, how is having one prime suspect different from creating a whole suspect list? My accusation is just as valid toDAY as the lists posted by others.

I will wait a little longer before voting, but I hope that you will not consider the mistakes of an old woman to be the behavior of a fiend.

++Marcolie "DEATH" Laman

I don't suspect her in the least' but I must vote for someone.

[Holbytlass]

I mean, at the time of posting, my list is rather random and pointlessly based, just like "what everyone is doing toDAY". But I added about the seer and one person meaning last night's dream (I was being Captain Obvious). As for you, Wilwarin, you are on the suspect list toDAY for old time's sake but of course, that could change tomorrow. Meaning I put you on the suspect list (tomorrow) because I think you are a wolf.

Restating:We all are pretty much in agreement that the first DAY is usually just accusations based on random and nothingness (except the wolves because they know who they are and they know everyone else is innocent). We agree that the seer has had one dream about one person, therefore except for the seer's accusation or defense of ONE person, every other accusation is just guesswork. And since we all know this, that's what makes this an obvious statement.

I hope this clears up what I said because I can't restate any plainer.

I am not talking about taking random stabs in the dark every day. I am talking about the fact on day one if someone does not get the ball rolling then we will start each day as clueless as we were the day before.

Well I missed a lot. It looks to me that it is a theer way tie. If someone dosent vote to break the tie then three die and we cant do that.

[WaynetheGoblin]

Sorry for the double post. After a little thinking I will vote. Mostly I just voted for her bacause it is tar first game and I dont suspect glirden.

I think if you want this to count Wayne you need to bold the name and but vote in the message title

cross posted with Tar-ancalime and malkatoj

[Márcolië Lamen]

Come on, break the tie and let me live. I want to at least get a role.
I know I'll be dead by tomarrow so I'll share now.
<- mytho

[malkatoj]

~~~TIME~~~

Expect Glirdan and DEATH's deaths shortly.

[Márcolië Lamen]

votes

Tar-2
Glirdan-2
Sleepy Ranger-1
wilwa-1
DEATH-2


So to break the three way tie
++Glirdan
because you've played more of two to choose from and It'd be fairer to let a new person play

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I realy hate this first day. There is nothing "real" to vote by.

You guys are making this realy hard for me, You have made me a bit suspisios of Glirdan and think less ill of DEATH. I will let Tar-ancalime go for this time, but lets see tomorrow.

arrg I will just go with my first thught.

++DEATH
aka
Márcolië Lamen

[Eonwe]

well that didn't do much good. someone needs to rebreak our tie. have at it guys..

[SunniGadi]

Hey!

It's more than likely too late for me to join...heheh....and I hope no one gets mad t me for posting, but just letting you know I'm here.

[malkatoj]

Okay, so current voting is as follows:
Tar: 2
Glirdan: 3
Sleepy: 1
Wilwarin: 1
Marcolie: 3


Here is how to vote: The title of your post MUST be 'Vote.' Then it goes like this:
++NAME
Capitals, I don't care so much about. IF THE NAME IS SPELLED WRONG IT DOES NOT COUNT. Simply because they're right there and you should be able to look at it.

Remember that there ARE double lynchings, but no triple lynchings, so if there is a three-way tie then the first two voted for get lynched. Thanks!
