Alright, just got back from school. Todays going to be a busy day for me so I doubt I can post much. Expect a random vote later on.

wilwarin538 · 03-28-2006, 06:11 AM

I'm just leaving for school so I don't have much time. The following post was written extremely quickly.

This is so terrible, I loved those lases. We must get rid of these felines, imediately. They can not win. There isn't much we can do on Day 1 but post as much as we can and come up with some sort of plan. But try to be some what logical in your voting, we don't want a gifted killed on Day 1. That's all I can say for now.

Is that my bus?

Be back at 3pmEST.

Nogrod · 03-28-2006, 08:09 AM

So, are there any patterns here to be seen? (The following "synopsis" is not in an accurate order of things happening, but more like trying to bind things together)

Farael has been very active, stirring discussion. Picking on a couple of people with zero-backing.

Eonwe declaring his "voting for the 7th person in the list" -tactics.

Farael attacking & voting Eonwe

Morm disliking Eonwe's tactics, noting Farael vs. Diamond issue.

Glirdan, backing Morm's suspicion about Farael vs. Diamond.

Roa seeing sense in both Eonwe & Morm, asking for explanation from Morm & Glirdan about their suspicions on Farael vs. Diamond. Accusing Farael of early voting & trying to distract us.

And all this has led to a situation, where voting stands as follows:
Eonwe 2 (Farael 1., Form 3.)
Farael 1 (Alcarillo 2.)
Nogrod 1 (Lommy 4.)

Clearly Farael and Eonwe have been the most controversial players so far (Thank's Lommy for holding my flag up too!

). The others have been very careful indeed - if we don't count Roa's quite attacking style against Farael (posts 24, 27, 28).

I don't have Farael quite so high in my suspicion-list. He may be rushing around, but not in an overtly suspicious manner - and his vote for Eonwe seemed to me stem from principles concerning playing styles (+ quite well argued point about declaring a fully random vote very early on being good tactics by a cat!). Neither do I see Eonwe as overtly suspicious, for he seems generally to play like that. And even if I don't quite agree with him about the reasonableness of his tactics, I can't say to suspect him either, at least for the time being.

So, again I'm also a bit worried about us possibly lynching outspoken villagers just because they talk. That is quite bad politics. Maybe we should also see, what those less posted ones have actually said so far...

I'll have to go back reading essays to school, but will be back in a couple of hours, and hopefully for a bit longer then.

Nogrod · 03-28-2006, 08:13 AM

Kind of left my point unspoken...

As I don't think that Farael is a cat.

As I don't think that Eonwe is a cat.

As I know myself not to be a cat.

I would very much suggest we widen the scope of voting a little bit... and anyhow, there are only three of us voted by now.

Really, what's wrong with you all?

Let me repeat your own question...Farael, what's wrong with you?

You keep asking why isn't anybody looking at me? It's almost as if you are seeking to be suspicious...but why? Are you so starved for attention that you will continually bring up your own post hoping that we will look at them? Are you a wolf...I mean 'werecat' who is trying to get just a bit of 'too obvious' suspicion on them? Or finally, are you an innocent that wants just the right amount of suspicion on you so as to help you live? I'm not sure if I'll vote for you but you are worth watching.

In my experience, the guilty party rarely expose themselves on day 1 and those that jump out to you as guilty rarely are and those you think innocent might be guilty. They post just enough and are innocuous enough to not arouse suspicion. Wilwarin fits this as does Thinlómien.

Kitanna · 03-28-2006, 08:51 AM

Grrr, I can see this is going to be a frustrating game, just judging on how soon everyone is throwing in a vote, knowing that they can "retract it later on" if something crosses their path.

I've just skimmed through what has been said so far, but I'll be back in about five hours and then I'll read through everything and contribute something worth while. Until then...

Telperaca · 03-28-2006, 09:25 AM

Eep. Sorry, I was having a lie in today..

++ Eonwe

You know he mentioned something about running away, and so far in the past, it's alway been the suspicious people running away...

Diamond18 · 03-29-2006, 09:18 PM

Alright, I'm back. And caught up. More or less.

First impressions: Wow, um, Nogrod, I wasn't expecting that. I mean, not that I was expecting anyone in particular to die, but I just thought they'd go with a quieter member. Noggie just strikes me as the kind of player wolves/cats leave alive to make a scapegoat and get lynched. However, I realize this might be bias coming from the last game I played with him. Also after reviewing how Nogrod brought up the possible hints in Valier's post, this does give somewhat of a reason. So I guess it's not that surprising.

Taking the rhyme analysis into consideration, we can look at it two different ways. Either Wilwa, or Lommy/Telperaca are culpable and got scared of Nogrod pointing it out. OR none of these people are cats and the cats knew killing Nogrod would create instant suspicion of Wilwa & Lommy/Telperaca. If, indeed, Nogrod's interpretation of Valier's rhyme was the reason for his death. Assuming it was, I am going to state that I personally believe Valier when she says she didn't actually leave any clues and was just playing with us. So, therefore I think it's most likely that the cats killed Nogrod in hopes of making us suspicious of Wilwa & Lommy/Telperaca.

Wilwa's vote for Sleepy and apology to Farael could be taken as suspicious. I agree about that. But I don't think I'm going to vote that way toDay because of my own personal theory that the cats want us to go for W/T/T because of Nogrod's interpretation of the rhyme.

Not sure, then, who to direct my vote towards. I voted Farael yesterDay but I believe Farael helped lynch Sleepy -- so unless they decided to sacrifice one of their very first Day, this makes me a little more wary of voting Farael.

I have to read over the posts more. This is just my off the cuff thinking after reading through all the posts from toDay once.

At any rate I have plenty of time to vote (I'll probably be around right up to the deadline tomorrow) so I'm not going to rush into anything right now.

There will be no double lynching, if there is a tie of votes for any reason, I will choose the first player to reach the highest vote

Valier · 04-05-2006, 05:17 PM

The light of the Fifth day began to fade.

"I think I should die today!" Argued Farael.

"Ok then I think we should kill him if he wants us to" Said Kath

The villagers seemed almost unanomous in their voting. Farael was to be sacrificed.

Everyone busied themselves gathering wood and tinder to start a fire in the town square. Farael was to be the "main course".

They tied Farael thefoolofatook to a post and set the logs beneath aflame.

"Ok, Ok Like I said I am no Werecat! Now please let me down!"

The villagers did not believe him so they sat in silence and waited.

Farael began to feel the flames climb up his legs, so he began to blow feverishly at the licking fire. But as he blew he inhaled the fumes and began to cough. "I swear I am innocent!" But it was no use.

The villagers stood and watched in horror as the flames over took the poor Fool and devoured him whole.

Dead villagers:
Valier: Tomato grower- Died from a thousand cuts. (Moderator)
Naria- Pediotrist-Was danced upon until she died.(Co-Moderater)
Sleepy Ranger-Mayor-Drowned by village on Day 1 (Werecat)
Nogrod-Ale Maker-Werecats got his tongue night 1 (Ordo)
Wilwarin538-Berry picker-Boiled alive by village on Day2 (Werecat)
Kitanna-Grumpy woman-stuffed with Kitty litter by Werecat on night 2(Ordo)
Thinlomien-Postwoman-Was stoned to death by village Day3 (Ordo)
Telperaca-Baker- Killed by a stone from above Day3 (Ordo)
Glirdan-Barman at local Inn-Hanged on Day 4 (Ordo)
Diamond18-Barmaid-Whipped with Cat-O-Tail by Werecat on night4 (Taker)
Mormegil-Shirriff-Throat slashed by Taker on night4 (Seeker
Farael-Foolofatook- Was "Eaten" by flames on Day5 (Ordo)

Live villagers:
Roa-Aoife-Folklorist
Garin-Weathered former mercenary
Kath-Ale drinker
Alcarillo-Fisherman
Eonwe-Wayfaring stranger
Formendabras Took- Ne'er-do-well

Everyone left I need your nightly picks....
