WW XXIX Dor-en-Gaur

[Lalwendë]

Boro, I'm not quiet on purpose, I've been asleep! I do hope we're not going to get into the quiet/loud thing so early! Or are we doing it because we have nowt to go on? Hmmm...

However, Ang and Gil-galad are very clever to pick up on Boro's quite vocal early suspicions of Celuien. Now I just can't quite decide whether this means they are correct and have pinpointed Boro as a wolf trying strong diversionary tactics, or whether Boro is right and Celuien is indeed a Wolf. Or if in fact this is a clever triple bluff and Anguirel and Gil-galad are both Wolves!

Rune's advice is good. Trust nobody apart from yourself! But then I do get strong feelings in this game - as I noticed last time I played and maybe over-analysing is not the way to go and gut feeling is better; had I trusted mine last time I'd have got the Wolf.

Now I'm going to go and hit a few folk with my inflated pig's bladder and see if they squeal or...whimper like dogs...

"I can tell you I'm innocent. It's all logical. Just see this.
1. Sheep fear wolves.
2. The sheep don't fear me.
3. Ergo, I'm not a wolf." Lommy turns to a little sheep. "Come here, Agnus, come to your mummy!" The lamb comes and Lommy strokes him. She starts singing: "Lommy had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb..."

"Who's the baddie then? Easy! We have a whole lot of pretenders here, I'm sure they're trying to hide something. Or what do you think of such unnatural beings as merry Anguirel, idiotic Lalwende and Mac who is always right? Such things do not exist! Thus, I'm rather confident, those are the wolves; who else would have a need to disguise his or her true nature?"
-----------------

More seriously now. That stronger wolf... I agree with Rune that it's probably stronger than normal wolves, not that the two others are weaker than normal wolves. This is just pure speculation, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that maybe the strong wolf is such that s/he can't be killed by the possible hunter? (I take the golden dagger as a hint of hunterdom, like so many others here.) Or that s/he has one lynch-protection meaning if we try to lynch him/her s/he does not die, but if we lynch him/her again, s/he dies?

About Nogrod's hunter, I believe I can help you. I co-modded with Noggie some time ago, and we had a hunter that was called "the logical hunter". The logical hunter can change his/her pick whenever s/he will. If s/he's lynched s/he can take anyone with him/her, but if s/he is killed, s/he can only take a wolf with him/her ie. if s/he has chosen a wolf, it dies, but if s/he hasn't, no one dies. (That's why it's logical, I mean, if three wolf-shaped beasts are attacking you, do you run to your neighbour's house and kill your sleeping neighbour because you suspect him/her?) Nogrod was rather fond of this idea and I wouldn't be surprised if he used it again.

Now, I'm back to reread the village again and with more care so I can actually comment something and I won't be very much around today. (I'll post an explanation in the admin thread, since that's the preferable way.)
