You've got that right! I'm quite pleased with myself - I rid the village of two nasty gifteds in one night, you know (and all I got was this lousy t-shirt).

There is a remote possibility that nobody has really considered. I admit, it's a bit far fetched but at least we should open the possibility. Is there a chance that the phantom claimed himself as the hunter hoping to get the GW or a gifted out in the open. The plausibility is increased that he said he was the hunter, as he knew there would be one living. The downside is that the hunter is a relatively weak gifted that usually doesn't hit that mark. Now, I believe that this is not the case. However, there is the chance that the EW did convert that phantom to be an ordo yesterday...if this is the case I don't believe Rikae to be the EW as she picked this up and ran with it shortly after the idea was presented. I'm not convinced the ranger made a save either though as they are difficult to come by.

At least we should all wait for the phantom and see what he has to say. In my experience it is in our best interest to do so. He may have something very useful to say to us. I will get my list up hopefully soon.

I would like to apologize for my stupendous lack of content yesterday. I wasn't able to get online, which is a pity, as posting from underneath a tornado would have been awesome.

But I see yesterday was interesting enough.

So: as I see it, tp is either telling the truth and got unheroed for his troubles, or one of the wizards.

Rikae: evil, probably. I do enjoy the wolf avvie, though. Takes me back a few games.

We should obviously get away from discussing Rikae at the moment. She's obviously evil. I'm more inclined to think that she's wolf than the EW, but at the moment I can't say for sure. However, she's doing her best to distract us, admittedly in a fairly entertaining way. Is she bluffing that she's the EW? Or is she triple bluffing us? (That's my shtick, so back off, sis.)

I'd like some answers from the ever annoying phantom when he returns, though I really hate to even give him the time of day now, with him being so... haughty over it. I disagree, Legate. It is very possible that Wolf Rikae and EW phantom worked this all out to mess with us. It could very easily be a sinister plot, and I wouldn't put it past either of them. I'd like to see what his great instructions are.

I'm going to look at everyone else and see what I think of them. At least this way I can look at whoever phantom will be pointing us towards before he does so and form my own opinions. Then I'll see what I think of his "advice."

This is your friendly neighborhood evil wizard signing off. Good night, sleep tight, and don't let the hunters bite.

I will be back later with lynching instructions. Don't listen to me. Don't discuss my identity.

Okay, here comes my summary...

A Little Green - A little shady case. I must admit she has quite totally slipped under my radar, but I'm not very alarmed. I'd like her to post more, but from what she posts, she looks quite innocent. The problem is that she'd make a nice scry for the EW - a smart girl keeping out of sight and suspicion...

Shastanis Althreduin - I love it how he posts so much and takes so actively part in the discussion. I feel pretty good about him. The problem is pretty much the same as with Greenie: he slightly slips under my radar and he too would make a nice non-original scry for the EW. I don't think his style has changed at any phase of the game, though, so I'm not worried. I'm not sure if I should be this much at ease with him, though.

Isabellkaya
- She tends to talk sense, although she also tends to parrot other people's points. I have no clue about her role. Except that I'd not be surprised to find out that she is the wolf who was scried on Night2. I mean, on Day1 she pretty much convinced everybody she's making sense and seemed pretty innocent. Since then at least I have been getting less innocent vibes from her but as she too has quite slipped under my radar I have not paid it much attention. So, yes, I'd not be surprised if she is a wolf, but I would like to have a look at her posts before getting too vocal about my suspicion of her.

Nilpaurion Felagund - Mostly makes sense and is reasonable in an innocent way. I do not suspect him. I know I maybe should, though, as last time I played with him and he was a wolf he fooled me (and everybody else) completely.

Eönwë - He has talked very little and even less of substance, but I hesitate to judge him harshly because of that. He's been incredibly brave to take this as his first game. I don't really have much of an opinion about him, except that some EWs couldn't just resist cursing the poor innocent little ww noob.

Kath - What a sneak. She is always quite quiet (yet contributive) but she seldom slips under my radar like this. Also, she usually talks a bit more and reveals more of her personal opinions. I get the feeling that she's intentionally laying low and I'm wary of her. I would not be surprised if she was the EW. I would not be surprised either if she was a wolf. There's something wrong with her, I think, or then she's just really busy with RL...

Satansaloser2005 - I think she looks quite innocent. Yes, that's it.

Rikae - I'd be inclined to think that she's a wolf, but she could be the EW too. A very naughty person anyway. (Obviously.)

the phantom - The ultimate enigma. Could be anything. I'm inclined to trust him, but I dislike his attitude and don't want to follow his orders. I can't trust him although it would make little sense for him to act as he does if he was evil. If you can bith trust in someone and suspect him, that's the way I feel about tp.

Lhunardawen - A terribly sneaky gal. Has practically slipped under my radar like so many others. She seems innocentish to me, though. I doubt she was an original wolf (she has left such a strong impression of harmlesness), but she could have been cursed later and I could have ignored her suspiciousness because she had been so innocent before. Hmmm... maybe I should look at her posts more closely. Anyway, I'm not really worried about her, whether that's wise or not.

Durelin - I could very well see her as an original wolf but nothing this far has actually made me suspect her. Maybe she's innocent.

Roa_Aoife - The voice of reason and intelligent questioning. She's an incredibly charismatic personality, I find myself siding with her almost always in ww games. That's partly because I tend to think the same way with her if we're both innocent, though. I think I tend to trust her a little less when she's evil and now I've been quite strongly inclined to trust her, so maybe she's innocent? Horrible logic, I know. I should definitely pay her more attention and not be fooled by her reasonability and calm.

Brinniel - For all the game, she has been thinking very similarily as I have. Bizarrely, it makes me a little suspicious of her, although I'm in principle inclined to trust her. But I think I've been very like-minded with an innocent Brinn before and suspected her for no reason just because of that, so maybe I should just leave it be and believe that she's innocent because she seems like she is...

Legate of Amon Lanc - I'm inclined to think him innocent, although I'd like to repeat that Rikae's (or phantom's or Diamond's) behaviour doesn't prove it. The only thing I really have against him is that he keeps having silly reasons to suspect me.

Lalaith - Her actions yesterDay make me feel better about her, but I'm still not convinced. She thinks too much - and too naturally - like the EW and there's something wolfy in her as well.

Mormegil - Is playing in a rather disappointing way. I really hope he'd be more involved and reason his votes more, but I read his behaviour as a sign of ordoness. *sigh*

Celuien - Is a smart lady but distrubingly quiet. A real submarine and one of the few people I have absolutely no idea about. Please talk more, dear Celery.

Gwathagor - That vote of his was rather eyebrow-raising. He has, like so many other people, slipped under my radar and I find it hard to judge him. There's really no lack of evidence, it's more like that during the game he has said both very suspicious and very innocent-sounding things. One more person I should have a closer look at. Oh, and I didn't like the analysis he did yesterday, whatever it was about, I remember it contained all too few personal opinions.

McCaber - The ultimate submarine guy. I can understand that he may be busy, but I must admit his manner annoys me. He should talk more and reason both his votes and overall opinions more. He's almost participating so little that it would be unethical of the EW to curse him...

Crack. Head.








Let me get a complete player list, and I'll give you an opinion on everybody.

P.S. Can y'all call me Sally? I really don't mind, but I skip right over it when I see it and end up doing a double take. They call me Silly Sally for a reason. Really up to all y'all. Off to post!

The reason I voted for Rikae right off the bat was that yesterDay, as far as I was concerned, Rikae and Cailin were bad and we should lynch them both, one after the other. The GW would hardly scry over Rikae after she behaved like she did, and Rikae wouldn't be likely to pull a crazy stunt like pretending to be the GW if she was actually the EW. Rather, it's probable that she had orders from the EW to do what she did in order to try to flush out the GW. You will recall Cailin's reaction to Diamond18's "reveal" as the GW (which fooled me entirely): "We got the good wizard! We got the good wizard!" Evidently, that's what they were going for.

And regarding my analysis, Finnlomien, it was my first ever, and I'm sorry it wasn't up to your exacting standards.


I'm pretty sure Rikae is trying to make us think she's the EW, so that we won't vote for her because you can't kill a wizard.

I may be thinking in circles, but she could be counting on everyone assuming that.

Werewolf is a game where assumptions can kill you. Best avoid them and stick to what you can see. (ie. posts and voting)

Would like to point out, Morm is putting words in my mouth - I never said I wasn't willing to "give what the phantom says a shot", I said I didn't like being ordered to. In fact I plan to do just that, for the reason Lommy already said; not because Phantom said to, but because I was going to today anyway.

But it'll be later, as I'm getting on a Greyhound in precisely 15 minutes and will be on said Greyhound for 12 hours. Yay roadtrips.

Not that it makes a difference, but all the people who were putting words into mouths so far were wolves. Well, words into MY mouth anyway. Meh....

Well, I'd have called morm a wolf, but that would be classified as listening to Rikae...

Gramma Greenie: Her sn is A Little Green. But is she a little wolf? I think it's possible, but I don't know yet. Yellow zone but there's almost no way I'd lynch her toDay. (16)

Grandpa Shasta: Never remembers to take his pills, but I think he's innocent. (63)

Great Aunt Izzy: Throws knives at random people. Never a good sign. And she's completely escaped my attention, and I never like that. (23)

Lommy Mommy: I can't shake the feeling that she's a wolf. Other than her behavior with the whole Phantom/Rikae/Di/Legate thing yesterday, she seems innocent, so I'm hoping it was just a flurry of confusion. Surprisingly, I would vote her, but only if she was against someone I thought extremely innocent. (64)

Nilp Daddy: Um, nothing. I have no idea. I'm leaning innocent, and yet I think that's a bad idea. I'll give him another day or two, but I really need to look at him closer. (16)

Eön, my big bro: He's never played before, and this is a tough game to start out on. So I can understand why he's so quiet. Problem is, that means I can't get a read on him. (6)

Sister Kath: Too quiet. Kath, please talk honey. I don't want to lynch my favorite (only, but that's not the point) sister. (11)

Sally (ME!): As my MSN name currently says, little old me, five foot three, geeky (and innocent) as one could ever be. (65)

Rikae: Flipping Evil Incarnate. Even changed her avvie accordingly. But in case she's the EW, let's not try to lynch her and waste it. Sounds like a job for.... (58)

Phantom!: I believe him. Period. Mostly because he's been so stinking right, Di supported him, Rikae's against him, etc, etc. If he's a wolf, I'll drive to Omaha and strangle him. (133)

Lhuna: I don't know why, but she looks unshaven. Her posts are fine, she seems clean, but it's almost too perfect. I'm on the fence, but it's a furry fence. (27)

Dure: Leaning innocent, although I could switch depending on how the next couple days go. (38)

Roa: I don't like how much she was fighting with Phantom. It looks....wait a minute....okay withholding judgement on Roa for now. End of story. (63)

Brinn: Seems innocent enough, but I know from experience she's a tricky minx. I'm watching you, missy.... (56)

Legate: Honey, I love you, and you look....well, pretty good. *blows a kiss* You've made some potential slip-ups, but I've played with you when you were a wolf (if I remember correctly) and you were smooooth. So if you are an ordo, be careful not to be lynched. (If you're a wolf....well, let's just say that not only would we be through, but you wouldn't be having kids with me OR any wolfgirl you may have your eyes on.) For now, I still think you're innocent, especially after how Rikae's been going after you (could be a setup, but for now I'm going with it) so I'll trust you. But be careful, my darling. (59)

Lal: She was pretty quiet for a while, then popped up during the Wizard debate yesterDay and I didn't like what she said about it. No offense dearie, you just seemed to be a little too smooth about it. not smooth....bah I can't think what I think. (38)

Morm: My instincts on Morm are wrong. I don't care what they are, I'll be wrong. I think he's innocent, so he's probably a wolf. Don't ask. (15)

Cellie: I'm pretty sure she's innocent, although she could be a very slick wolf. (9)

Gwath: If he's a wolf for the third time in a row, I pity him. I think he's okay for now, but I've also not looked at him much. (36)

Cabbie: Still leaning evil. I wish he could convince me otherwise, but yeah. He's on my wolf list. (9)



So here's a thought. I put everyone's post count at the end of my impression of them, just to get a feel for how "active" people are being. (granted, some of the posts are useless, but it's a starter, especially if their count is super-low)
