Werewolf XLVI: Getting Back to Basics

[Nogrod]

This is getting interesting...

I agree with Lommy about Lhuna & the guys. Lhuna's list look more banterish than serious or sensical and thence Gwath's and Legate's praises of their factuality really raise eyebrows.

Of those I expressed a mild suspicion earlier I'd say Gwath's actions haven't exactly made him look better (he's too verbiose and "explanative") but Oddwen I feel a bit better about right now. I'm quite at loss with Lhuna although I'm inclined to think her more innocent than not.

Also I'm slightly worried about a bit too serious or defencive stance of Mith. It feels like she is thinking I have made an open suspicion on her and she needs to defend herself by sharing her motives whereas what I said about her clearly was only Day1 first loose points. It would fit the classical "wolf feels herself suspected more easily" -case.

Also I'm somewhat worried by Volo's self-vote and am inclined to make a different conclusion than Lommy did. Innocents may vote themselves that's true. But there should be a motive or reason for doing it fex. getting frustrated with the others suspecting you and trying to lynch you or/and trying to protect someone you think is a gifted from lynch or whatever. But it clearly can't be any of the above with Volo. It looks more like: "hey look at me everyone, I'm innocent". And I don't see why an innocent would try that - but I can see a host of reasons why a wolf might.

Nogrod you are either over analysing or a wolf making a case. You raised issues I answered them honestly and straight forwardly. As it happens it was all I had time for this morning. Since this worries you I shall ignore you henceforth .. and one thing I am not this game is serious.. It is Spring and I have recovered my joie de vivre. For those who find this unsettling no doubt the irritable Mith will return someday.

J'ai revise mon diagnostic: vous avez tout la maladie de la vache folle.

Yes, I'm back again... and, despite my profession, I still can't really make head nor tail of this.

All I can say is that I'm sure it's no accident that the silliness has gone on as long as it has. My studies in natural history tell me that the typical lycanthrope is prone to encourage such behaviour in others... often in a way that makes it very hard to tell who is doing the encouraging.

Some present thoughts:

Lhuna: Well, let’s put it this way– I get doubtful of people who list others as top suspects without giving reason. I get paranoid when one of those suspects is me. And those “lists” of hers sound more like filler to me– taking up space without really saying much Also, her Gwath vote is perhaps a little too easy...

However, I can’t say I like the look of Gwathagor, either– he just chimes in with other people– but then, as someone else noted, he always does. (Uh... which I guess means that now I’m chiming in...)

Legate: Has been gibbering. Very unusual behaviour for him. Mind you, he did (#16) say something I agree with somewhat, which is that the interactions between Nogrod and Mith seem not quite right in some way (though I wouldn’t have gone so far as to announce they were a pair of wolves, as he did). I think it quite possible one of them is a wolf, anyway.

Edit: X'd with Nogrod, Mith, Lommy.

Excuse me? When did I do that? But at least you preemptively acknowledged that you also are "chiming in" with other people (in this case Nogrod). That's good. Acknowledging your own suspiciousness is always a good ploy for averting further suspicion. (Ha!)

I don't even know what to make of this. It just seems so far out that I can't tell whether she really thinks it and is just kind of crazy, or whether she's trying to fool us.

Which part you didn't understand? That single sentence or my point?

To sum up my views right now - and as I need to be making dinner for myself & Lommy soon it may take a while I'm back.

I find suspicious based on arguments:
Gwath
Lhuna
Volo

I have some concerns but probably not enough to vote toDay:
Oddwen
Mith
Legate

I feel more innocent than not:
Nerwen
Lommy
Kath!!!

I think more innocent than not:
Aganzir

I have no idea this far:
Sally
The Elf Warrior

Just a few points to explain...

Suspicious:
Gwath looks suspicious as himself but Lhuna and Volo look tied together - or should we say that if they both were wolves their actions would make even more sense.

Somewhat suspicious but not enough to vote:
Oddwen looks both playful and reserved at the same time. Her reactions to my test-suspicions were kind of tense in a way but at the same time joking. I'm not sure what to think of it. Somehow she doesn't sit right with me but I'm reluctant to turn that uncomfortableness into a vote as yet.

I share the suspicions on Legate but would not want to see him go this early in the game with this light reasons. They are too slight to make a vote. But he does make me feel uncomfortable.

And Mith then. I kind of trust her openness and realise I just wish to do that but somehow she's more explanative and defensive I'd presume an innocent Mith would be.

Feel good even if with reservations:
With Lommy I'm just perplexed. She looks and feels innocent but that's just the point with her! She just looks and feels too good - not regarding the pre-empting admission of flip-flopping which kind of bothers me still as being a bit too careful thing to do. But I find her more innocent than not by just a feeling.

With Nerwen it's easier as she doesn't send me any "bad vibes" - even if there's nothing to talk on behalf of her innocence either... although I do agree with most of her points in her last post and that might be a factor why I think she belongs to this category of "feels innocent more than not".

And Kath! I can't believe this! But yes I'm not suspecting her at the moment. Hear the soughing of the leaves of history! I still am afraid of her everytime I play in a game with her but somehow her approach feels more innocentish than not this time. What's happening?

I think more innocent than not:
Agan for her questioning of the reasons behind my suspicions and openly disagreeing them. A wolf would love to follow a trail of suspicion and not downplay it.


About Sally we will not hear toDay (and we shouldn't lynch her for that) but where's the Elf Warrior?

EDIT: X'd with a host of discussion...

[Nerwen]

I don't at all like voting this early, because it's still close to being random. However I have to, so–

++Lhunardawen.

Because she's one of the people I suspect(ish) who hasn't received a vote yet.

That's the best I can do now. I won't be around near the deadline, so good luck to you all (well, except the furry ones).

Au revoir.
