Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVI - Úcenite Valto

[Kath]

Nogrod, I don't dare to proclaim that I will become useful in later Days, just that I'm more likely to be helpful then.

I must say I do like lmp's theory that the phantom and Sauce are our two wolves. I can quite see Fea coming up with that little scenario, confident that both of them can talk their way out of anything and gaining a huge amount of amusement as they do just that.

I think I'm having a lazy day, more inclined to go with the thoughts of others than my own. Still, there is that niggling feeling that phantom is innocent. So, with apologies for my inability to take this seriously right now and a half-hearted promise to do better in future:

It's absolutely true. I was really hoping to be a wolf in this village, and I genuinely thought that's Fea invited me in the first place, since that pretty much the only way I've distinguished myself at all in werewolf. (Let's face it, as an innocent I'm mediocre at best.) I love being on the evil side, and I'm happy to get it more often than most. As to whether I am or not, well, I could go on about how Fea didn't choose me, but it would be silly and fruitless. Besides, you'd only have my word to go on, and nobody trusts me anyways. (See above note about being generally evil.)

As to my "convenient" schedule, I'm "conveniently" either sleeping or at work during almost the entire day. I'm a pre-school teacher. I have no computer and even if I did, I couldn't take my eyes off my kids long enough to do anything with it. So, the beginning and the end are the only times of Day which I can be around. And if you suggest I lose sleep to play, well, I dare you to handle a room of 9 one year olds by yourself with no sleep. Really, it's the children who suffer...

Also, bah to people and their traps. BAH, I say! If you're intentionally acting in a suspicious manner to catch a wolf, why shouldn't an innocent also find the behavior suspicious and label you a wolf?

Also, bah! to phantom and his trap. Anyone who's played a game with me will know that my first responses are to people who sit around and say "Day one is so useless, we have nothing to go on, oh woe is me for I simply can't just look at what people are saying to figure out if they're condradicting themselves, or going along with the flow, or anything else that's suspicion warranting, blah, blah, blah." It's what I do. Innocent or wolf, these poeple just irritate me. Anyone who claims there's no point to analysis has always found me as an ardent opponnent to that claim. So your trap misfired and caught a hot headed, argumentative, know-it-all. almost as bad as a wolf, but not quite.

Also, LPM's point about phantom and SPM being possible joint werewolves who have discovered each other, as it were, is something that had occured to me myself as I read further through the day. (And it gave me the willies.)

Certainly, it's a possibilty, but I wouldn't say it's as end all as he makes it sound. I can well understand where he's coming from. However, one hole I poke in the "the werewolves are definitely not gunning for each other" theory, is this- as a werewolf, I've never had a problem sacrificing my teammates. I know multiple people here who have done the same thing. Knowing full well who my teammates are, I go after them if they're suspicious, and I leave them alone if they aren't. It's much easier for a wolf in this game to do the same thing, when they can just focus on finding suspicious behavior and exploiting it, not caring if they lynch their comrade or not. They don't even have to pretend that they're really figuring it out for themselves and didn't know any better all along. My reaction to SPM's theory was a "Well, duh, why not?"

I have more analysis to do, but I doibt I'll get through them by the end of the Day. I will do my best, though. And in case I don't return:

Because of what I've already posted, and because I have nothing better (yet).
