Game Thread: Werewolf- this time it's real! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Those with ten votes and whom I'd say are deliberately keeping their reserves full to possibly win the game in the end, possibly for the baddies (eg. includes a possible Grima as well) as they are wise enough to see the edge their votes might have.

Brinniel (10) - Still my top suspect. I think her (in)action in the end of Day2 betrays a baddie. I have written about it extensively enough thus far.

Formendacil (10) - My #3 or 4 of suspicions. He has been so cool and composed all the time and he has been a bit too nice to me. But I admit some of this getting him this high might be due to our differences in the philosophical approach of the game we have. Very much undecided right now with him but his full arsenal makes me afraid of him.

Greenie (10) - She has been much better toDay as she has been actually posting some thoughts on people and not only avoiding mentioning others but those she would vote for. On Day1 and 2 her demeanor just screamed wolf to me. She probably is my #2 still but I'm much less confident about her being a baddie I was like a few hours ago. Still wouldn't clear her as a goodie. Quite the contrary.

Other "tenners" - with whom I'm more at loss whether they have the bonus-votes full because it's a tactical decision or whether it's just that hey haven't found a place to use their votes yet as they haven't been around too much or have lost votings.

Gwath (10) - A questionmark. I'm not too sure he would have missed the vote yesterDay as a wolf and confessed being indecisive and losing it for that. He tends to garner a lot of suspicion and like oftentimes I'm tending to think undeservedly.

Lari (10) - Well, if she's a wolf/vampire and wins then I will just have to take it as "she didn't earn the victory". What could one say? Nothing. She has kept her votes...

Sally (10) - The problematic one... I would not be surprised she was a baddie but I wouldn't suggest her as the first lynch either. Her having the ten votes might as well be due to inattentivness than on plain decision with the mates.

Shasta (10) - I had nothing to say about him untill lately when he has defended Brinn. He might be one of the baddies but with the RL I'd say he's not my top choice anyway. But one to look after to be sure.

One thing to add. The baddies will talk together via PM's, all the time. So anything I say about someone "not possibly thinking to save her/his votes" in purpose might be jeopardised with the fact that her/his mates tell her/him to do so. So even the most inattentive player might have clear demands to not use her/his extra votes thus leading my possible redeeming judgements null and void.

The others...

Fea (6) - Not a likely baddie-candidate. Her weird extra-vote for me might be due to frustration. Her inattendance after that vote speaks for her not having a role and thus no interest in the game.

Izzy (8) - I actually suspected her a lot in the early stages but now she feels a lot better. Still if one of the wolves (or Grima) would have spent some of their bonus-votes I'd be worried about her the most. She seems to roll with the tide a bit too much (including when to suspect me or to trust me) and her giving up of votes might be interpreted as a tactical manouver. But not my top candidate in any way right now.

Kent (5) - Even if his early chivalry in regards to Greenie looked dubious I haven't very much bad to say of him. I see what people are saying with him being too defensive etc. But it's mainly his +5 vote for Kuru that bothers me a bit to be honest.

Nilp(7) - Mr. Oddball then. It's always hard to get anything reasonable out from him and this game is no different. His last vote was odd as well as it was well overdone. One or two votes might have done it but he gave Kuru four votes (and did not highlight them!). Keeps on repeating how he enjoys the game. I'd say more of an ordo than not but I'd not trust him either, at least yet.

That was not as much and as good I wished for but I hope it helps as one tally among others.

EDIT: X'd with a host... and Greenie...

Second stage of my list. I added some to Gwath and Sally and added more people.

Brinniel (10) - I think her attitude says she's innocent (but then I always think she's innocent). Her vote for Sally does look to me a bit like a throwaway vote, but I just don't think a wolf-Brinn would be so easily irritable.

Fea (6) - I'm suspicious of her and will be until I get an explanation of yesterday's vote.

Gwath (10) - Seemed put out at the beginning of the day that Kuru was still alive. Also, #465 strikes me as a wolf trying to get instructions to a cobbler... does anyone else get that impression?

Now that I'm thinking along these lines, I wonder if Grima might be likely to try to force innocents to use their bonus votes early on by using some of his/her own.

Izzy (8) - I see some of the same things she does; notably the interesting interactions between Sally and Gwath. However, I'm not sure what to think about Izzy specifically.

Kuruharan (6) - obviously innocent.

Lari (10) - seems like she's playing very safe this time around. She's a possible baddie for me.

Nilp (7) - I like that he went to the trouble of an analysis on Firefoot, but... I just don't see that it accomplished a great deal. It made him look quite helpful, though, which doesn't sit right with me.

Nogrod (5) - The fact that all he's been saying today is "Let's focus on people who haven't used bonus votes yet" irks me a bit. Even though he says he's not, it's like he's discounting the possibility that there might be wolves that have used bonus votes already, which I don't think is a good idea at this point. That and I don't tend to like continuous harbingers of doom.

I'm actually beginning to think, after rereading post #445 where he condemns Brinn, that he's just mad that she hasn't posted as much as he would like.

Sally (10) - In post 430, she states, "The thing was that I was pretty sure you weren't innocent". Freudian slip? Maybe she's Grima. Also, the way she adds Gwath's explanation of his non-vote to her own just seems weird to me. Also, her comment about Nienna being a "brilliant wolf". Seems odd to me; Nienna's only been in... one other game so far, I think, and Sally was the moderator. It just seems odd to me; I know I'd be more inclined to call someone a "brilliant wolf" if I'd actually played a game with them (especially since the baddies lost Sally's game). Also, I'm noticing that in #497, after Izzy calls her out on the list she made (immediately after, actually), Sally backs off of her suspicion of Izzy. Interesting...

Edit: X'ed with Kent and fixed a bold tag.

I was bored and wanted to see what you all would do.

Tragically, you didn't lynch me, and instead you gave me like eight pages to have to read. Fail.

I'm being Nilp. Lynch me.

Also,

++Nog

He's been posting lots.

Leading the scoreboard once again with a nice gap.

Oh, big time.

But we will lose if this continues like this.

See you before the DL (I hope I manage to wake up before that).

'Brilliant' does seem like a bit of an exaggeration.

I'm suddenly remembering now a part of the reason why I quit playing this game.
