Well, we know Fea has played WereWolf before, so perhaps she is just laying low deliberately... But that was a bit jumpy Shorty. We have to use SOME strategy with quiet peeps, don't we? I don't know what kind of strategy, but something.

I guess Fea said she's moving toDay or something, so maybe she isn't laying low deliberately.

I might as well do something useful

Kath: I know I had been thinking about the number of the wolves myself, too (probably everyone has); but then asking it would make a nice cover for a wolf, and that's what I thought when I read Kath's first post.

xyzzy: There's not much to go on, but I don't consider him suspicious just because of his "suspicion" on Kath.

Shasta: He has said nothing that should have made me worry about him, but I get a bad feeling of his posts.

Menel: I agree with him about forcing the wolves to talk. But lynching ye unhelpfulle - I don't know. I see the logic, but I don't know if it's wise to force the wolves to be helpful, because they won't actually help us - on the contrary, a wolf making analyses etc. is far from useful; they twist everything and mislead us, and when the wolf is dead, what can one make out of the analysis?
Anyway I think he's probably innocent.

Rune: He speaks sense, and not things I think a wolf would say.

Nogrod: At the moment I feel quite safe about him (though I still think I would never catch a wolf-Nogrod). His suggestion of lynching the quiet ones is good, I think, and as he's been reasonable and vocal, I'm inclined to consider him innocent.

Rikae: It's hard to say anything about her.

Isabellkya: Not much to go on, but I fail to see any "wolf hints".

Boro: I've no idea, but I don't think lynching him toDay would be a good thing to do. He's just so neutral.

Durelin: Amusing, but not much to say. I don't know what I should think of her vote.

Sixth: Neutral.

Lommy: Innocentish.

tgwbs: I've never played with him, and don't know his style. There's something slightly suspicious in him, but I don't know if it's just his style, so I probably won't vote for him toDay.

Mith: I will probably send this before she's managed to say anything more.

Possibly innocent:
Menel
Rune
Nogrod
Lommy


Possibly guilty:
Kath
Shasta
tgwbs


No idea:
xyzzy
Rikae
Isabellkya
Boro
Durelin
Sixth
Mith


Have not spoken yet:
Mormegil
Gil-Galad
Volo
Legate
Fea


I have no idea who to vote yet (luckily there's still plenty of time left). I don't think anyone is that suspicious. I guess I'll vote someone silent.

edit: xed since Mith's second post.

How about the "lynch all the quiet people alphabetically starting randomly at F" strategy?

Ah. So she did. Never mind... I will try to get her lynched tomorrow instead.


For the record, those seeming innocent to me at the moment include:

Noggy - sensible views about lynching the quiet.
Boro - sticks to his views in, what I feel, is genuine earnestness.
Rune - I think he speaks sensibly about lynching the quiet earlier rather than later.

These three will be exempt from my list when my random vote is generated.

I'm not feeling too happy about Shastanis -

Where on earth did that random sentence come from? It doesn't make sense to me, nor did Nogrod say any such thing.

I understood he meant a Wolf can make a disastrous mistake that should reveal him/her, if forced to speak. That would make more sense.

If the evil team consists of just three wolves, or three wolves and a cobbler, you can eat my head. I don't think Sauce'd make such an unbalanced game.

I should maybe be going soon and it would be most annoying to vote right now. I mean, I don't suspect anybody really, and if I come back, something might have changed and then there might have been a good reason to vote somebody... ... ...

The only ones that I suspect even a tiny bit are xyzzy and Boro - and the evidence against either of them is ridiculous. AND I'd hate to lose Boro on Day1 if he's innocent. (And actually even if he's a wolf or whatever. The game would be less intriguing.)

So now I'm debating if I should vote xyzzy (argh) or just not vote right now (argh).

Greetings comrades.

Unless anybody comes up with anything interesting in the next hour, my random number generating machine has come up with the following:

Ran#x16+1 = 3.288

Meaning, of course, that durelin will get my vote.

Just found this in Sixth's first post and found it rather ironic considering what happened last night.

I hope I am right in this. The more I ready what Sixth and Volo wrote the more convinced I am the Sixth is innocent. He seems quite but more genuine and sincere. Volo on the other hand is subtle and pokes and prods at just the right time.

SpM you are sadistic.

Well, this didn't go like in my dream as it was Morm who was the Wolf there, but at least I can be happy for being right in the end.

Tough game and, huh, it was more than close to victory!

Congratulations to so many, especially the Wolves! And of the Wolves especially to Aganzir, who was a big surprise!

Of course Boro has earned our warmest thanks, killing Wolves equal to the number of Wolves in basic games. Good work there!

SPM, SPM, SPM... Now this was the most confusing game ever, and the most theory-filled too, and not only from me (though I'm still confused how I could post so much )! Well, thank you and could you please end the game!


I hope Asfaras of Itgets from the race of Vehade will have a proper funeral!

While I too am curious - I think it would be courteous not to pre-empt the moderator.

I'm sorry. I'm very disappointed in myself after this game.
