The people who accused me based on my Day1 behaviour in last game should now be after Aganzir.

Whatever the changed rules are, I guess we can assume there are lovers. So obviously, we should look out for pairs. And looking out for fishy behaviour is always a good thing. I think that's a good starting kit. (Starting Kit hahahaha. Okay, sorry. )

Yes, Mac - it was obviously Czech: that language only consists of consonants, you know.

I wonder if I should be worried - this must be the shortest starting post ever on my whole wwing career (possibly discounting my first few games)...

I'm here, but it seems I haven't missed much.

Am I right in suspecting we won't know anything of cite-worthy value until Tomorrow? Because right now we don't know anything at all:

We know our own roles. Depending on what information Di's messages contained, we might know several roles. For instance, it's a fair assumption that there are Lovers, since this is a Lovers game. Also there will be ordinary villagers. There are an equivalent number of Lovers to bad guys? Maybe? Well, at the very least, there are bad guys as well as lovers, we just don't know how many.

1) # Lovers

2) # Ordos

3) # Baddies

What other roles?

I would expect a seer-type character, and the last game had a ranger sort of fellow...

Will Di have cobblers, do you think? Or is that sort of what lovers are anyway?

I know this isn't a particularly helpful post in that it's a post which concentrates on game dynamics, blah blah blah

-however I think it's necessary to put together as much information as we can in one clear place.

Because we know what Di did before and we know that this game resembles the old one, but that it's changed in unmentioned ways.

Consequently... we don't know anything. Literally, we know only our own roles. Not just in terms of we don't know who fills the other roles, but we don't know what roles they actually are to be filled.

I'm concerned because I don't know what magic powers exist in this um... sketchy motel...

Friends?
Okay if I can lynch you then.

Legate is a cobbler as always. He says something unnecessary and claims it's serious, and then he tells us no further discussion on the topic is needed. He just tries to confuse us.

Ah but isn't it a good thing if people are after me here? That's the whole point of this trip.
But, you know, the thing is that you and me are different. You're so boring and serious while I can be a bit crazy at times. I can understand if you have grudges about the last game but you should know better than to hint vaguely that people should suspect me because I remind you about some wolf performance of yours. I think that's a bad way to start your first post and I promise to keep my big nasty eye on you.

HA you and Legate are lovers and you're trying to defend him! And you're even a bad liar since there was one vocal!

What about lynching either Lommy or Legate today just to be on the safe side?

If you look back on my past wolf appearances, you will see that the bursting and overconfident wolves usually ended up as very early roadkill. Why should I play like that if I was evil?

Last time she semi-randomized the roles, so it might actually be possible we're on the same side at last. Otherwise, since I know I'm innocent, you're evil, which would mean that I would have to try to get you lynched, which I rather wouldn't.

That's only fair, I admit.


I'm sensing some very bad karma from the directions of Lommy and Legate. I don't mean that they're a couple themselves, but they both feel like they have ill intentions, independently from one another. I can't put my finger on it, though.

Fea is innocent, says I.

Ah, but if you played a cautious wolf, someone might note that that is exactly the strategy that always worked for you before. At least, this way, you have the above excuse ready-made.

Is that flattery, or a threat? Either way...

Stirring the pot? I can see what you mean in Lommy's case, but vague suspicions aren't worth much, are they (until everyone starts echoing them, and, before you know it, you have a pointless, useless bandwagon on your hands which isn't even helpful after the fact for finding baddies... ).

Well, I came here to find a man, and I still aim to do so - I can work it in around WW hunting, after all. I'm going to be 30 soon, and I'm unmarried! Horrors!
(Don't modkill me, Di, I'm not roleplaying )

Macalaure is evil. I think this for three reasons:

1) He pops in early on day 1 bursting with overconfidence that he knows exactly how this game will go down - ie, just like the last. It's not that he's discussing game dynamics - it's the fact that what he's saying could only possibly be useful to confuse ordos and throw other baddies off his trail. I'm fairly sure this game will have some new twist thrown in, myself.

2) Di wouldn't make both Mac and I ordos. Ergo, he has a role, and, judging by point #1, that role is an evil one.
I realize this point doesn't do anyone any good until I'm dead, but that shouldn't take long when Mac is evil.

3) After the last game, I swore to do my utmost to get him lynched on day one.

Now, as for you other folks - Lommy looks a bit self-conscious. There are too many women in this village. Legate's multilingualism is charming, but Eönwë's confusion is just too cute (if it looks a little feigned...)

At any rate, if we really do have the high numbers of baddies we did last time, our chances of lynching one are high - and if they are lovers, we'll get two for one. Don't lose heart!

And, Aganzir, I agree on the gender thing - we should lynch all the females in alphabetical order.

Over confidence? It looked like he was just being plain old silly if you ask me. Also, I think it strange that you accused him on your first post, Rikae, and stuck with it throughout the game (especially when people started jumping on your bandwagon). Though I'm a little confused why you voted for Aganzir in the end.

This was pretty flimsy accusation to go on.

This joke lightens the accusation on your part so that it looks like you're making a joke, for the most part, about accusing Mac. Later on in the game you express your seriousness on the matter (perhaps seeing that people are beginning to jump on the bandwagon).

Over all this looks like very wolvish behaviour, and this is just Rikae's first post.

Hey! That's not true. There was one A in the word.

Okay, now something more constructive (and no, it won't be "two cranes" this time). This far, I could state my opinions on people this way:

Aganzir - as much as she can look innocent when she's a Wolf, she does not look exactly like that now - she looks a bit different. What does it mean? She could be a Werelover.

Mac - joins the general joking around, but does not forget to put a quite lengthy helpful summarisation of our situation (with putting the emphasis on "our" as innocents). That might be a preventive behavior by which he is trying to prove that he is "normal", even though he is a Werelover actually.

Fea is a bit saying something of a value, and a bit not, but this far hard to say anything concrete.

Sally is being a bit silly, but seeming relatively normal.

Kit is hardly saying anything, could be wishing to slip under the radar.

Eönwë is hardly saying anything, but maybe that's normal.

Lommy's post is a bit unusually-seeming at the beginning, but normally lommiish-seeming in the end, so who knows.

Looking forward to see more.

(and I am x-ing since Lommy's first post, the one I quote, but I am not going to prolongate this anymore by refreshing and reacting even to something which may have been posted meanwhile...)

I think she looks rather innocent. But I wouldn't bet on it.

By the way, this village is rather crazy. No one is taking this seriously... I wonder if I should be amused or worried.
