Another hour? Nice. I thought I would have a chance to come back.

At the same time, it's an awfully brazen thing for an orc to say.

Oh me, I'm just strange, contradictory and weird in general. Ok time for an obnoxious confession, I've been trying to get myself lynched today. Why? Maybe I'll tell you later but anyway it seems I won't be getting lynched today... Lets see what happens. *Eats an apple.* Theres plenty if anyone wants one.

Roa_Aoife · 04-13-2006, 05:33 PM

Don't mind him- he's been killed either on Day 1 or Night 1 of the past few games he's been in, and he's trying to go for a record.

...Dork...

You really put us, who have not voted yet (six with my count), into a very weird situation Sleepy! You are playing now with quite high stakes... and I'm not sure, whether it is wise for the village, or for you.

As I go through the thread, I find myself in trouble concerning who to vote for, and then you come and just offer us every reason to lynch you! Maybe you really want to get out of the game, or then are a cunning wolf - more cunning than in the last game? You puzzle me...

If you are innocent, and we lynch you, its just a needless death - and we are one down...

EDIT: X-posted with Roa - and kind of see her point, and that would be weird...

I see. Attempted Nilp impersonation. But you should have voted for yourself instead of Jenny to do that properly.

Still doesn't get you off the hook as far as I'm concerned.

At any rate, Jenny expressed suspicion of Nogrod here. I tend to believe in his innocence because of the discussion over his plan to reveal dreams. I disagree with the plan, and still think that it would benefit the orcs. BUT, if Nogrod were an orc, I would have expected him to back off as soon as potential orc benefits were pointed out. Instead, he defended the idea while admitting flaws, which seems to indicate genuine motivation rather than orcish scheming. Besides, he's generally been well-reasoned and informative today.

Sleepy Ranger · 04-13-2006, 05:42 PM

Attempted Nilp impersonation? I have no idea what you're talking about... all I'm doing is being myself... >_>

Anywho, I'm not trying to get off the hook, I'm trying to get lynched and if I don't get lynched on Day 1 or killed during Night 1, I'll behave and actually play properly...

So anyway,
Dear Were-Orcs,
Kindly kill me during Night 1. Thank you- Barrel Of Apples.

Oh and by the way, I believe Diamond's alright, she has the right mind-set in my opinion. *Tosses an apple at Diamond.*

Roa_Aoife · 04-13-2006, 05:46 PM

Roa 1 (Spawn I)
Diamond 3 (Celuien II, Jenny VI, Caran IX)
Glirdan 3 (Roa III, Findëasëa VII, Diamond X)
Jenny 1 (Sleepy IV)
Sleepy 2 (Glirdan V, Kitanna VIII)

Diamond reached 3 first, so she's currently the one slated for death.

Diamond18 · 04-13-2006, 05:53 PM

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Nogrod. I will be rather upset if I'm lynched today simply because I was enjoying myself. Makes the whole Werewolf endeavor here seem like a rather bleak and ungamelike experience, when the first and foremost reason for lynching someone is that you don't appreciate her roleplaying. Though I suppose being absent for a long time made me more suspicious than anything. I didn't go to bed last night until 7 AM, so I somewhat overslept.

Still, I haven't been the most inactive player in this game.

Diamond18 · 04-13-2006, 05:58 PM

I X-posted with a few people voting for Glirdan. Whew, I feel like I wriggled off the hook.

I'm too frazzled right now to really be supsicious of anyone, but I have to say all theses posts should make excellent reading over the Night and there might be lots of suspicious behavior to talk about tomorrow.

Quote:

It is true that Diamond18's posts lack significant substance, which is suspicious, but the detailed analyses of each elf (or orc) by certain players, such as Celuien and Norgrod could be a diversion.

I must say I am usually somewhat suspicious of analysis as substance, myself. All you have to do is post a summary of what other people have said. But since everyone it seems does analysis, it's somewhat a staple of the game, for better or worse. I just have my doubts as to how useful it really is when judging how much someone has contributed to the discussion. Still something I have to form an opinion on, as I play more games.

Oh dear, we have another crazed Elf on our hands. What's in those apples?

I'm starting to feel bad about voting for Diamond. Upset tone of post completely understandable.

Roa_Aoife · 04-13-2006, 05:49 PM

With 10 minutes left in the day, Nogrod had better get his vote in.

Edit: As well as Grendelien, Zali, Naria, and Legolas iS

Nogrod · 04-13-2006, 05:48 PM

If I have this right, the leading candidates are:

Diamond 3
Glirdan 3
Sleepy 2

Sleepy seems to wish to die, but that may not be wise, because he might be innocent anyhow.

Glirdan has not been so bad, as his numbers tell him to have been.

Diamond I feel innocent - was unhappy with her lead in votes all the time - even though wondered myself her way of playing at the beginning...

Let's focus now, the rest of us!

Grendelien?
Zali?
Naria?
Legolas iS? (where are you???)

EDIT: X-posted with Roa & Celuien

She's online now, viewing the Mirth Forum at last check. I posted on the TiG thread to see if I could get her to switch to invisible mode and stop in before the deadline...

Sleepy Ranger · 04-13-2006, 05:51 PM

Nogrod! Vote for me, there may yet be hope!

*Tosses Nogrod an apple.*

Nogrod · 04-13-2006, 05:54 PM

Am I the only one to vote here?

I could give Sleepy his death if he wants to, but it would take two!

Glirdan is useful, normally, if not an orc, and Diamond probably more so... I was quite taken by the honesty of her annoyance.

EDIT: X-posted with the last QUITE MANY - THOUGHT OF TWO...

Oh just vote for me, it'll make me like myself more.

Farael · 04-13-2006, 06:04 PM

STOP!!!

I wanna go home... take off this uniform, and leave the show. But I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know!! (have to know...) have I been guilty all this time....

No more posting, death scene coming RRRRRRRIGHT up.

Diamond18 · 04-13-2006, 05:34 PM

Okay. Good.

Alright, I'm going to apologize in advance for this post, because I just spent the last 20 minutes having a panic attack because as soon as I made my post, the 'Downs stopped responding, and then other things started going wonky on my computer, and I was literally swearing like a sailor at it and running around in circles screaming. Well okay, not the circles part. But my hands did start to shake, which makes me think I'm far too invested in this. I'll leave the disturbing self-analysis for another time, however.

Okay, a quick and panicked review of the posts reveals that I've come under a lot of suspicion for my in character comments early in the day. This, I find absurd. It's Day 1, and what's more it was early in Day 1 when I made my posts. I don't see the point of picking characterizations if actually putting them to use is "nonsense" and "unsubstantial" and worthy of getting lynched. Excuse me for trying to have a little fun in this game, instead of pretending to find something in nothing. I have to admit I find it a little funny watching people analyze little nothing posts, saying that they hate Day 1 because there's nothing to go on, then jumping on people for no apparent reason. I think a little lightening up is in order. The times when werecreatures have been successfully lynched on Day 1 are probably more luck than anything, or the work of a lucky Seer who had a successful first night dream. So you won't see me sitting around going, "S/he posted mostly in character the first day, how worthless, let's lynch!" Tomorrow I'll actually try to find meaning in all this. But what I see now is mostly villagers casting about in the dark, and to lynch someone because she was trying to enjoy the game when there was nothing else really to do is just silly.

I would be more inclined to vote for people who didn't show up at all, or posted very short posts that were neither in character nor having a theory of their own. I was at least getting something out of the game.

That all said, I'm going to have to vote for Glirdan if I want to save my own butt. Whether he's innocent or guilty I have no idea, but it seems the way the votes have gone that's my wisest choice.

+ + Glirdan

Anyway, excuse the somewhat upset tone of this post, because I'm still worked up into a frenzy over my computer trying to drive me insane and was sure for a few minutes there that I had completely missed the deadline.

Nogrod · 04-13-2006, 05:39 PM

Diamond!

It's so nice to see you back as your usual self! My suspicions are dropped immediately... for the time being, of course.

She may not last the day Nogrod. I believe she's in the lead for votes.

Grendelien · 04-13-2006, 05:53 PM

Ah, I've been beating my brains over this this choice for some time..this is a very difficult decision to make. It is true that Diamond18's posts lack significant substance, which is suspicious, but the detailed analyses of each elf (or orc) by certain players, such as Celuien and Norgrod could be a diversion. It's really hard to say. My suspicions of everyone are high at this point. However, I will have to cast my vote for

++Glirdan

mostly because I am suspicious of some of those who voted for Diamond18. I know this is not a good reason to vote for someone, but it's the only reason I have at this point.

Grendelien · 04-13-2006, 05:54 PM

Sorry I spelled your name wrong, Nogrod!...my fingers just don't want to cooperate today.
