Gwath has been doing the same thing a bit, but I'm not wanting to see him gone purely because he's trusting many of the same people I am. Of course this could be the sign of a WW who knows precisely who to trust.

I flip-flop on Ilya constantly. But with the way she has shared opinions and been sensible, and because she's new, I hardly want to cast her out at this point. Yeah, yeah... she may be using Newbiness to her advantage. I know.

Rune and morm- meh. I like having them around to talk to. But of course that has nothing to do with Wolfishness. But morm seems to be making an effort, and his feelings seem genuine. I haven't as much a feel for Rune, possibly because I haven't played with him as much. I'd like to keep him around almost just for that reason.

Is it the Penguin thing? Sorry, but I just don't love them the way you do. Surely we can get past this, Lommy.

I'm merely suspicious of you and that's why I take everything you say with a heap of salt. And btw, thanks for reminding me - I should really write a letter to the editor to the 'downer...

Okay, so sally and tp both have votes? Hmm... I'm not really too enthusiastic about lynching either of them toDay. But if I'm to introduce a third candidate, it must be someone whose lynch will gain some support...

Just to answer this real quick...

When I paraphrase with a quote, the tone doesn't exactly come out in written word. But by using that statement, I was trying to say that I didn't like how you and Boro seemed to be so surprised that the village was turning on you. You both made some pretty bold statements and innocent or not, I don't think you should expect people to instantly trust you just because you claim you've been creating all these ploys to manipulate the wolves. It's the same thing if someone were to claim seership...even if they were the real seer, they can't expect others to instantly believe them until there's some solid evidence to back up their claim. So I don't see any reason why the village shouldn't suspect you guys, just as anyone else could be as easily suspected. Which is why I found your reactions to other people doubting you discomforting and suspicious. Does that make sense?

Anyways, I just recently got back from classes. I'm pretty tired so I don't know if I'll do much posting at this moment, but I promise to contribute more later in the evening....which means also looking at players other than tp and Boro..

EDIT: X-ed with Nogrod and Lommy

*sigh* Phantom always suspects me when I'm not around to defend myself, have you noticed?

Today was insanely busy for me, and it's not over yet. Ask Sally how much work goes into a tech rehearsal two days before opening night.

I am being quiet today, though, for once. I believe it's called "playing the McCaber".

Oh, sweetie.... *hugs you* No killing him. He's got enough on his plate.



Alternatively, I bought the fourth season of Doctor Who today! YAY!


Alternatively alternatively I started this post and then abandoned it to go to dinner, so I've probably got some reading to do.

These I mean are the classics!

And nicely predicted by my theory earlier...

Lommy, I could vote Phantom today, I'm just concerned about it being called a spite vote.

I could also vote Ka or Boromir, and 'faintly' but probably not Ilya.

Edit: X'd with a lot. Oh...

Don't you see it or are you not willing to?


Boro, morm, Shasta - anyone around?

Greenie -> tp
Kath -> Sally
Lommy -> The Ka

Any ideas?

I'd leave tp to the seer as I'm not confident enough but I must say his posting makes me willing to go for him more and more...

Sally I have no idea of. Kath said she was acting more serious than normally and that was the case when she was a wolf last time. I think I need to take a look on that.

The Ka seems to be the submarine and I'd like to lynch her just to be sure.

And I'd like to test my theory as well with morm or Rune but seeing that morm is having a vote I think that with him it would be a vote wasted unless you all went for it.

Both Rune and Greenie have voted morm for a representative the last two Days... So maybe I was wrong and the wolves really thought it important to get one of their kind into the electorate this early?

But seriously, we need to stop this. We're annoying Lommy.

And we're also using the eye-roll smilie way too much.

Nogrod.

You keep saying "Oh, leave Phantom to the seer, leave Phantom to the seer".

How?

There are four or five people right now calling Phantom suspicious; a true Seer hint would be lost in the muddle. And I hate to agree with him, but Phantom probably was already dreamt, so I don't see why you're reiterating so much that we should "leave Phantom to the Seer.

With this I agree wholeheartedly. *rolleyes*

Okay I checked back on Sally.

I don't know. I'm not sharing Kath's thoughts of her being more serious or composed than normal. I mean the last time she was a wolf she was indeed being a bit too focused for her own good.

But she did vote Greenie as a representative and then again Greenie's vote for tp was no surprise.

On the other hand - and following that - she decided to go all the way appeasing tp with all that talkabout Dr. Who and the various ways of spelling that.

Like "I try to lynch you via choosing a rep to do that and immediately start playing it personally nice with you"?

Also her post about her suspicions were as follows:
Quote:
Originally Posted by Sally

Ilya
Nerwen
Morm or Boro or Phantom (preferably one of the former, as then we can get on with our lives. heh.)
Gwath (because we can )
So leaving tp at the end of the list and saying "preferably the former" with the reason we could after that "go on with our lives" - like tp wouldn't be the prime obstacle to that? (Sorry tp - see, no rolleyes!) - but still making sure her representative would be after tp?

That I think is suspicious.


*Needs to think*

You're right, Shasta, that Seer hints will get lost in the muddle.

Frankly, that's exactly what we should hope for. The minute the Seer hints aren't lost in the muddle, the WWs kill the Seer.

We wish for the Seer to survive and dream as long as possible. That way when they do die, they deliver to us a nice chunk of real information we can use.

So when Nog says what he is saying, I believe what he means is that things will be clear in time when it comes to discovering my affiliation. And since you agree that I have been dreamed of, I believe that Nog's statement is one that you can agree with.

Good night


I don't know what it is with you Nogrod, I constantly get the feeling that you are playing differently and that I should take a close look at you.
The problem is that when I do so, I find very little actual suspicous behaviour and I have actually read through most of your post in search of such.

Maybe you have been more vaugue than normaly, not sticking you neck out too much. . .

Anyways you are on my list over people I am slightly suspicous of together with Ilya, Nerwen, Brinn and Ka.

I already stated what it was that bothered me with Ilya and Nerwen earlier(I think it was yesterday), but comments made by different people have made me lessen my focus on them (I cannot remember by who), plus I haven't had time to deal with much else than Boromir. Brinn's style where she hardly ever gets into a major confrontation, but is liked by most people always makes me wonder and The Ka is hardly ever here, what she posts is fairly resonable. . .but again she is not risking much.

Then there is people like Shasta which I really should pay more attention to, because right now I have no idea what to think and actually can remember no statement made by Shasta. (This is a critique of me, not of you, Shasta)

I think I see it now more clearly. You're right tp. I'm agreeing at the moment.

++the phantom for lynch

And remember my theory toMorrow.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but...

As I've said before,

++Lynch The KA

If Phantom turns out to be a wolf again, and I didn't kill him when I could have, I believe my head really WILL explode.

Edit: X'd with two Boromir. Dang you Boro!
