No he is the Opera Ghost.... see the note to the day start. He can talk and amuse himself but that is all. Really to amuse the moddess. And it is unorthodox but hey ....

I did say there would be a suprise and it has come early. He may effect the dynamics of the game but it won't effect the mechanics. In the head count the ordos are one down.

May I ask miss moddess, I remember a long long time ago, in one of Kuru's thread mentioning a "ghost" in WW. Please tell me that's where you got your inspiration?

Oh and Lariren, as far as my strange reference yesterday, it's a book/made into a movie thing. I think Fea caught it, but I'm not sure, the offer is still up for anyone. I would be really impressed if someone knew the book a/o movie.

Random thought, I'm curious about the case against Nogrod, seemed to form out of mid-air, after questions were raised about sally. I don't know if this was an early attempt to save critic-sally, but there were lots of unjustified attached "suspicions" that grew around Nogrod.

I'm wondering how many caught Nog's Divo comment. And then his joking confirmation to Agan.

You'd think Ordos would be very concerned about gunning for him after that.

The people who would see it and gun for him anyway- the Critics, Walter, and the true Divo.

Oh, I forgot to ask.

TGWBS- when you cast your vote at the end, am I correct in thinking that you did not see Agan's vote until after you posted?

May I ask tp, if I have your plan right. I thought when you questioned about the "decision" on the Divo that you were up to something. At that time, I didn't know, and then your actions at the end and when you specifically asked me about my thoughts about Nogrod, and said you wanted to give Nog a chance of explaining, it became a little clearer. Long story short, did you know that if you were killed we'd lose you in the count, and thus you wanted to get targeted early, since earlier would be better than later in the show?

Edit: crossed with wild man who be short.

Overall, I wanted to be a target. Early or late. But I figured to ensure that I was made a target, I ought to try to be one right out of the gate. Since the whole point of being the Opera Ghost is to die and return, I thought it would be robbing Mith of her fun and me of my purpose if I played anything other than recklessly.

I noticed it, but I really didn't give it a second thought. I assumed he was joking.

Yeah, Boro, I was confused about that as well.

When I was going back through the thread, the first one I noticed to mention Nog as guilty was Agan, who said:
Quote:
I don't know - there's just something I don't like. His question/accusation against Gwath was rather bad. Besides I think it was phrased rather like an accusation, and later he accused Gwath of taking it too seriously. Also I don't like his 'double lynch on day 1 would be riskier for the critics than innocents' logic.
Then Lariren picked it up and said,
Quote:
That's actually a very good point. It would be like the guilty party to want to try to kill more than one innocent on the first day. Now I shall have to rethink my voting(though I haven't actually voted yet).
I'm gonna keep running through the thread but this is what I got so far.

Quotes are serviceable substitute for wit.

Post 143 - Opera Ghost (I smile every time I type that):
Quote:
Fea, Nogrod, Mac, and Boro are all up to something. Of course that doesn't mean we should lynch them. They might even be Ordos purposefully looking like they're up to something in order to draw a Night-kill. But then again, perhaps one of them is the deadly Cobbler. And one is a Critic.
Post 144 - Shasta:
Quote:
*still reading, but thinking of voting for Nogrod based on what he's read so far*
Post 148 - Gwath:
Quote:
Currently suspicious of:
Nogrod, for his really contrived case against me. I'm not going to vote him just yet because of what happened last time we tangled.
Post 152 - Fea:
Quote:
Try not to take this the wrong way, village. I want to test a theory.

Hey phantom, did you spot that thing in that post of Nog's that I spotted?
Post 155 - Fea:
Quote:
About the obscure question- the phantom said something (not actually about Nogrod), and I'm curious to see if I was catching something or if I was making it all up.
I assume the Fea/Opera Ghost exchange was about TP's Lovers ploy?

End Page 4.

Start Page 5

Post 165 - Agan:
Quote:
Of these I'd probably vote Nog. I don't have that many options anyway, I've been too lazy/tired to do anything productive today.
Post 177 - Menel:
Quote:
So just what is this thing with Nogrod, anyhow? I don't think everyone but Fea and the phantom should be kept out of the loop on this.
Post 180 - Lariren:
Quote:
Though from the looks of it I should be considering Nog.
Post 190 - Brinn:
Quote:
I don't feel like spreading out the votes anymore...among those already on the tally, I'd consider Nog, Sally, or Mac.
Post 192 - Sally:
Quote:
Hmmmm....Nog seems to be a bit off to me. But I've never been terribly good at reading the fellow, and I'm afraid that if I voted him it would be just because he voted for me. At the same time, he was rubbing me as a bit off before he voted me, so I may fall either way.
Post 193 - Sally:
Quote:
So of all his 'suspects' (or lack thereof), he votes Mac because Mac suspects him? I lied. Menel does look a bit fishy now. I mean, I may not be happy that people suspect me, but them suspecting me doesn't necessarily make them guilty. Seems much more like a self-preservation tactic than anything else.

I suppose my first three choices are Menel, Nog, and Mac, semi in that order.
Post 195 - Ilya:
Quote:
And...I don't get where the Nogrod thing came up because I haven't had time to read page 4. So, I'm gonna try and do that.
Post 196 - Opera Ghost:
Quote:
I think Nog needs to be given the chance to help us. He will read carefully and analyze and accuse and by the time Day 3 comes I imagine he'll have a good idea about what's going on. Don't kill him.
Post 197 - Kath:
Quote:
Nog - not sure if he was actually suspicious of Gwath when he mentioned him but whatever the case it came across as quite pointed. Alright I do understand why he gets annoyed with people who aren't around much during the Day and I am a terrible offender for that, so for a Day 1 lynch vote I understand where he's coming from. However, given that Mith is our mod I don't believe she'd make a non-participant a wolf. Then mentions that even those with high post counts can actually be saying nothing. Thinks Bowie quite suspicious for the Cobbler remark. Votes sally - so switched quite dramatically from his original 'will vote for a quiet person' idea. Not keen on the inconsistency but he did produce good reasoning for his suspicions.
End Page 5.

Phantom - cunning ploy! Well done.

Boro/Phantom - Wild Man agree. Must analyse Nogrod-vote. It suspicious to me. Wild Man perhaps will do after Wild Dinner.

Wild Man presume Nogrod jest when Nogrod say he divo. Presume other do also. However, Wild Man feel case against Nogrod was poor.
