Werewolf LIII: The Republic

[the phantom]

Ah, so it turned out Eonwe did have a special role! He was the village Steve. But then he was dropping Steve hints all over the place, so we should've guessed.

So, Agan died. I'm sad, because I trusted her. Plus she's all smart and pretty and stuff.

But on the bright side I wasn't killed. So guess what? You all get one more day of Phantom!

And I do mean one more day. I don't see any way I survive another Night phase. For surely the WWs have realized by now that I am, indeed, the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Nice Princess Bride reference...apparently all I have to do is brag about how deadly you are to wolves and they'll kill you.

Was there a trick involved?

Do explain. I love tricks.

Well, no... I love Trix. But I do at least like tricks.

Their trick to get me lynched, I want to see how they plan to work this one out.

Question- what if you were to brag how dangerous their fellow Wolves were to their own survival? Would they turn on each other.

And by "turn on" each other, I mean "betray". I don't mean.... never mind.

[Nerwen]

Well, that was predictable.

Well if you're a wolf and would like to betray some of you buddies my ears are listening...or well my eyes are - never mind.

[Boromir88]

Feeling good about that one are you Nerwen? Why didn't you go for morm, he's been coming after you.

How selfish of you. Assuming that the entire kill was based on lynching you! How arrogant. How self centered!

The plan was obviously to set up me to be lynched.

Hey, now, some of us are just now finding out the kill, and are still in shock. Not all of us knew several hours ago like you did, so just keep your snide comments to yourself.

Okay, okay- I'll come clean.

Shasta's the mastermind. He made us do it! We didn't want to hurt anyone, but he called us "Terrible excuses for Were-creatures" and told us he'd "eat our faces off" if we didn't kill someone.

If I vote for you as a rep, does that mean I have your sworn word that you will lynch Shasta?

Translation: I was so wrong there's no way I could possibly be a Wolf.

Ha ha, Ilya, I know better. You're a Wolf aren't you?!

Okay, good to know, because we're looking for Werewolves, not Wolves. Wolves are fine with us.

No need to take that tone, tp. I could say it's arrogant of you and Boro to assume the kill was about getting one of you lynched. I don't get how that would work. Both of y'all trusted Agan. I don't know what case a wolf could reasonably stir up. It'd be much easier to drive me to the gallows, since I've continually said I suspected Agan. That said, Nerwen, you're being odd and it's weirding me out.

[Ilya]

Wolves are fine with us.

Even T-Wolves? Because if there are any Nuggets around here, I...I dunno what I'll do, actually, I'm a Hornets fan.

Edit: Man, nobody around here likes admissions, do they? TP, keep letting me know, because until you do I will totally believe you are serious.

[Nerwen]

Okay, everyone, back to work.

The case that Boro regarded Aganzir as a formidable opponent of the wolves. (Or, alternatively, that all this talk of framing is a complicated double-bluff on a Borowolf's part.)

Why would that "drive you to the gallows"? It's not as if you actively tried to get her lynched and failed. More to the point is the fact that she did make a case against you, though she found it inconclusive.

Why? Don't get it.

EDIT: x'd since Ilya at #816.

[Ilya]

I love Trix

As long as you're not a rabbit, Phantom. Then you'd just be silly.

Man, my apologies to Agan. Totally thought she was of the lupine persuasion. All those nerve endings in my gut (did you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head?) must be having indigestion. This blows everything I had out of the water. Not that I had much, but, you know, stupid wolves not being who I think they are. Why was it predictable, Nerwen?

You know what, I'm indeed inclined to believe the mood behind this one. But I'm not sure if I believe it this way or as a version where the word "Night" is changed into a "Day" and the WW's into villagers. The problem is that your posting is such a thicket of thoughts, suggestions, plots, suspicions and pledges of trust that it's pretty impossible to see through them.

I bet it's fun to play that way and sometimes it's also fun to read. But at the same time it's pretty much making you immune to any actual accusations because you can always turn a suspicion back saying "it was just a test", or "it was just a ploy". So one needs to either buy you as you are or just ignore you. It's like a totally new type of submarine of whom you can get no hold of even if you see it in front of you all the time. A yellow submarine?

Anyway, whatever your role is you can probably count your Days to be numbered pretty soon. So all that remains to be asked is what do you do with the time you have been given? My verdict on you will depend on that factor.

EDIT: X'd from Rune onwards... good to see people around.

I'M UNEASY ABOUT
Noggins-Woggins - Generally he's been making me quite uneasy. Some actions of his are really weird, such as giving a third vote to a Boro he didn't trust (you still haven't explained that, by the way - I believe you just explained why it's sensible to vote for someone you don't trust, but it didn't answer the question why you gave him a third vote when he was already through...). Also, I still don't like his role in Legate's lynch. Hmmm.
Boro & phantom - They wouldn't probably be here otherwise, but the combination and the interactions and similarities between the two make me slightly uneasy... So yeah, I don't like the ploy stuff. I agree with Nog that it can be easily used as a cover for any behaviour whatsoever. And - I think I'm parroting morm now - I don't like the way the two of them trust each other so easily. I believe I even asked it once, and the answer had something to do with ploys... Especially phantom's way of answering every question concerning himself with "If you are innocent, you keep your mouth shut and concentrate on other issues" doesn't strike me as fair play, to be honest.

I'M UNDECIDED ABOUT
Ilya - Hmmm. I had these evil vibes from her earlier toDay, but looking through what she has posted nothing jumped on me... So I don't know. I don't buy that "too smooth for a newbie" -stuff, though - even newbies can have very different styles of playing and should not be underestimated, and besides I have understood that she isn't entirely new to WW anyway.
Nerwen - Like I believe I said earlier, she gives me both innocentish and wolvish vibes so I'm totally confused about her.

I'M NOT UNEASY ABOUT
Brinniel - Still same as ever. (I believe I have never ever suspected her in a WW game - but then, I don't remember ever playing in a game with a Brinn-wolf, so I don't know how good I would be in spotting one...)
Lommy - Still seems genuine and sensible and thinks similarly to me in many points.
Kath - Her tone this far seems innocentish.
mormegil - Brings up good points, behaves sensibly and has done nothing to arouse my suspicions.
Rune - Same as morm. And besides, he is amusing.
Sally - Like I said earlier, she seems like an innocent Sally to me. I have nothing to add to that.
Shasta - Yes, I do have a clue about him (Hooray!), and he seems innocent to me.

I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE ABOUT
Gil-Galad - Is he playing?
Gwathagor - No idea at all. I need to see more of him.
The Ka - The same as with Gwath. Hope they are having fun under the reindeer/rainbow/whatever...

I think my rep vote will go for either Rune, Sally, or morm. Rune and Sally I feel good about, and I'd love to see new faces among our darling reps. I think Rune would do well as a rep, and I agree with him on many points. Sally could do well also, and besides it would force some opinions from her - the only thing that worries me in her is that I don't remember her posting many opinions on other players. Morm, then, is the one whose innocence I feel the most sure about, for some unknown reason. I reserve to myself the possibility of bringing up a surprise candidate if something devastating happens.


EDIT: x-ed with Rune, morm, Nog and Boro. Nice to have people around! Hello! *waves*
