Tol-in-Gaurhoth LI: The Pain of Wargs

[Nogrod]

They are showing the film Der Untergang in Finnish television and I had to wrestle myself away from the telly as it would have lasted until something like an hour before the deadline (well, I've seen it once anyway).

Addicted to this game?


Okay, just a few short remarks to begin with.

Gollum: the way you decide to suspect those who have talked the most is generally counter-productive for the village but useful for the wolves. I'm not going to suspect you for it toDay as I think this is your first game (was I right?). But think of it yet again. If we lynch all the talkers on the first Days (and wolves kill the rest during the first Nights) we'll have a village where there is no game - as no one talks - and the wolves are free to roam.

It's true that in a few last games people have paid heed to this with variting success, but as it seems like in this one some of the old bad habits are coming forwards once again I thought of making a point of it.

So it's easy to point out something a talkative player has done but being talkative is a different category than that of being a wolf. The categories may overlap every once in a while to be sure but in many cases they don't. What is clear is that one (being talkative) doesn't as such imply the other (being a wolf).


One thing that makes me wonder about master Samwise is the way he answered my pretty light suspicion of him making a bit too pre-empting or overdone reservations ("at the risk of becoming prominent") in his post which only speculated with the roles.

Too much content? THe exact opposite of what? I somehow can't get myself to understand what he means here. Maybe I'm just missing something?

That makes me wonder... but that's not the same thing as suspect him heavily. I think Legate had some good points on his posting nice but still leaving space to strike from behind the niceties - and the vote sure is the safest there is. But still I'm afraid he might be just the easy lynch for toDay which seldomly benefits the village with a score of bagging a wolf (well it does sometimes as some people with even bad memory might remember ).

EDIT: X'd with Lommy
