All right.

Let's say that I strongly suspect you are the Seer, and that Shasta is a WW.

Shasta has just pulled ahead in the voting with one hour left, but two reps still have to vote, and one of them is leaning towards voting for you.

And so in order to save you and ensure Shasta's demise, I leap in and declare a filibuster, and proceed to post every two minutes on a specific topic until the deadline arrives.

By doing this I block that other rep from voting for you and Shasta is lynched instead.

Sound good?

I'm just curious. We've never had this sort of village before, so I would just like to know the possibilities, no matter if they're useless or unlikely to occur.

Pfft. I can see already where this village is heading, phantom.

Eönwë- A confused Ordo.
Gil-Galad- A zombie!....Ordo.
Greenie- A quiet Ordo.
Gwathagor- The Ranger!... oh no wait, that was another game.
Ilya- A newbie Wolf!

Legate- Voted "Second Most Likely To Filibuster". What that means is anyone's guess.
Lommy- See Brinniel.
Kath- See Brinniel.
McCaber- showed up! Obviously a Wolf.
mormegil- A misguided Ordo.
Nerwen- The Seer, obviously.

Nogrod- Voted "Third Most Likely To Filibuster."

Shasta- The Seer/Ranger/Hunter/Ghost/Governor/Gambler. Obviously.
The Ka- A sneaky Ordo.
the phantom- You have to ask?

++Phantom

(^ does not count; is not highlighted, nor is it time to vote for lynching. I hate having to explain jokes to make sure they're not taken seriously, it takes all the fun out.)

Hush, morm! Do you want the Wolves to kill me tonight?! I've only had one dream so far!

Sob. You're so hurtful.

Thank goodness. I was worried that everyone here was a Wolf.

So showing up doesn't indicate Werewolf then. Then I guess the opposite must be true.

Lynch the people that aren't here! They're Werewolves!

Or asleep. But then that's suspicious too. Who could sleep at a time like this?

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-11-2008, 12:09 AM

Clearly, Werewolves are European in descent.

Yes, yes, sorry about that. I'm just excited to be playing.

When I wake up in the morning groggy and grumpy you can expect my play style to change a bit.

Though by evening I might be back to this. We'll see. Much of it depends on what I see from others. Come crunch time I'm likely to be much less silly.

Gwathagor · 11-11-2008, 01:08 AM

Hi everyone. I am reading, but have nothing to contribute yet.

Brinniel · 11-10-2008, 11:59 PM

Shasta, I love how you made me the example of "innocent as innocent could be," plus you bolded my name four times. Boy do I feel special.

Well I'm the only one labeled as misguided...I don't know whether to be slightly annoyed of genuinely offended...Hmph!

Consider yourself "unique", morm.

McCaber · 11-11-2008, 12:04 AM

Just because I'm here doesn't automatically make me a wolf. I mean, I've slacked off as a wolf plenty of times. Not only the last one but the one where Rikae ranted for days at everyone and we pulled off the win for a dramatic finish. I didn't even show up for the last day on that one.

And I find the Cobbler remarks classist.

EDIT: crossed with a lot of people. I think I'm going to stop marking it until it actually counts.

Are you calling Shasta my Wormtongue?

Building up credits for the "right-hand-man-of-Brinniel-the-world-leader" position.

Brinniel · 11-11-2008, 12:15 AM

Current post count:

the phantom: 23
Shasta: 11
mormegil: 6
McCaber: 4
Brinniel: 3
Ilya : 2
Sally: 1

Obviously the phantom has CPD, better known as Compulsive Posting Disorder.

If anyone ever dares to attempt a post-by-post analysis of tp, my hat's off to you.

Eönwë · 11-11-2008, 12:39 PM

Good evening, peoples of the world.

Glad I got that out of the way.

see, nothing happened!

Anyway, I can see that Shasta is probably going to be voted as a rep, maybe based on previous game experiences.

Hmmm... Interesting game so far- And its only Day 1!

That's just his plan- no-one can ever analyse all his posts so they can't get a good reading on him.
