T-I-G LXVII: The Rangers of the North - The Fell Winter

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I am around here and I may as well present my suspect.

I am suspecting Lommy, again. It is sort of hard to define it from some particular point of view, but she just does not look to me as her innocent self. Of course, she is not around as much as she generally is, because she doesn't have that much time, so that could be reflected in her way of acting as well, but still. For instance, she is far less prone to her typical "Lommy flip-flopping" - it is somewhat more subtle. Also, the way she downplays me as the Captain - okay, now I don't want it to sound too personally, but I just think she would not be as uncertain of me, or at least, I think she would not be so worried of me being in the post of Captain for one more Day if she were innocent. Because I believe she would have good enough reading of me to determine whether I am worry-worthy or not. And so, she should not have minded that much (given what she says herself) to leave me there.
It is really hard to describe, but I think she is guilty, more than anybody else.

She herself said the same thing Roa accused me of, that is, she was, in these words, downplaying Rune's lynch:

But especially together with the Hakon thing. She says it with some sort of... certainty, as if she knew he is innocent. Of course as a Wolf she would, and then she could - and now she can - lament "oh, you fools, I told you, poor Hakon"! All too wolfy approach that could be, to say what she just said in this post.

When I was speaking about Lommy flip-flopping:

Then again, that's kind of understandable.

But then again again, I really wouldn't mind voting her even as innocent because she so totally fooled me in Brinn's game.

This one looks like Lommy flip-flopping, but more like a forced Lommy-flip-flopping, if you know what I mean? Not something she would genuine think of, but there was something else going on her mind at that moment - like thinking how to cast suspicion on somebody, for instance.

Also, for the sake of mentioning it, her list of people yesterDay is more or less composed the way that it could be like trying to keep on many people's good side, like for example:

My problem with these is just that it sounds false, as if she made it up. Sorry. I probably cannot say it better. But she just seems to me not to be genuine at all.

But I could note what she said of the two dead of yesterDay:

Hakon - innocent enough, I'm not sure a wolf would boast of making a good leader
(...)
Rune - a bit weird, but I have the gut-feeling that he's innocent - unless he's the cobbler and making a mess deliberately, but it feels more like an innocent Rune making mess accidentally

So here it goes again, sort of defense of Rune (and now we may speak of somebody promoting Rune innocent), and "I'm not sure a wolf would boast for making a good leader" - she states it with Hakon, but doesn't (dare to?) state it with Rune (because it is true in his case, and she knows?).

Ah well, overall, Lommy's reactions are unnerving to me. I just don't think she would behave the way she does if she were innocent.

EDIT: x-ed since Nienna after Nog's

[Roa_Aoife]

Really, Legate, to me it seems that Lommy didn't think making a bid for captain was suspicious on Day 1, so she didn't find an innocent Hakon or a wolfy Rune suspicious. It's less a defense of Rune than what you were doing, and at least her reasoning was consistent, unlike others who thought Hakon was guilty but not Rune, and vice-versa.

Today, knowing that a wolf did indeed make an open bid for captain, I'm not surprised she doesn't want to keep captains around long enough to be dangerous.

[Roa_Aoife]

++Legate

for the reasons I mentioned earlier, and because his suspicion of Lommy looks very manufactured

[A Little Green]

NOT WORRIED ABOUT AT THE MOMENT:
Nienna - Seems innocent and has sharp points (+ agrees with me quite a lot.. ) I could vote her as Guard.
Kath - Innocentish vibes. Could vote as Guard.
Nerwen - Seems more like an innocent Nerwen, she's somehow a tad more careful and smooth and calculating as a wolf. Could vote as Guard.
Legate - Seems innocentish and reasonable. I think I might vote him for Captain.

NO IDEA:
Fea - No read.
Sally - I was kind of suspicious of her yesterDay, but not that much anymore. Actually I have no idea.
Gwath - Too little to go on.
Brinn - No idea.

SOMEWHAT WORRIED ABOUT AT THE MOMENT:
Loslote - I'm leaning towards thinking that the classic suspicious-looking stuff she's done (jumping on other people's suspicions etc.) is more due to being new than to being evil. Not convinced, though, which is why she is here. I'm keeping an eye on her.
Valier - Aargh. Good points have been brought up against her, which must have swayed my opinion of her somewhat. I have little on her that I'd have spotted myself.
Roa - No idea. She's certainly being active and helpful and hasn't said or done anything blatantly wolfish, but I really don't know... It just struck me how handy it would be for a cunning wolf to hide behind being influential, analysing a lot and pointing out other people's faulty argumentation. As I learned on a course of "wise speech", in a debate the one who gets to point out the flaws of their opponent without having to defend themselves is always the stronger. Apart from it being good for the village if she's innocent and striking at wolves, of course, there's always the option that it's the other way round. In short, for one who has posted so much I have very little opinion on her which worries me a bit.
Lommy - Hmmm. Legate I think had some good points against her. I don't know, though, the thing that has struck me as weird in her behaviour is that she was, especially yesterDay, overly enthusiastic and happy and cuddly and all over the place. That in itself is of course no bad thing - it was the way in which it was done that made me worry. Other than that, I don't know.


EDIT: x-ed with 2xRoa, Nerwen and Nienna

[A Little Green]

Does anyone have a vote tally for toDay or do I have to do one myself?

[Nerwen]

Vote Tally

Captain
Fea -> Roa
Brinn -> Roa (2)
Lommy -> Roa (3)
Nienna -> Legate
Sally -> Nienna



Night Guard
Brinn -> Kath
Lommy -> Nerwen
Fea -> Lommy
Sally -> Kath (2)
Nienna -> Nerwen (2)

Lynch
Brinn -> Nerwen
Lommy -> Valier
Roa -> Legate
Nienna -> Valier (2)

EDIT: X'd with a host; updated tally.

[Nerwen]

Hey, Sally McTally, looks like Greenie and I have pinched your job!

Indeed! I was sort of surprised that my tally didn't cross with a one of Sally's. Glad to see your tally contained the same information as mine, by the way. I can get quite neurotic if I'm not sure whether I've got the numbers right...

[Roa_Aoife]

++Gwath for NG

Not because I trust him, but because he would be the safest kill for any wolf at this point. Though if he doesn't start actually playing toMorrow, in the absence of other suspicions, I would lynch him.

++Lommy for Captain

Because she also thinks we should limit the captain role, because the points against her seem manufactured, and because she looks like regular ol' Lommy

I would imagine he's about due to be modfired anyway.

EDIT:X'd with Sally McTally.

[Nerwen]

I just can't sort out the Legate-Roa business, so–

++Nienna for Captain

She just seems innocent, plus according to my reasoning the kill probably points away from her and Sally.

And therefore:

++Sally for Guard

EDIT:X'd with Roa.

Oooo that was rather clever! And it's fine with me for now, 'cause I'm not able to do a tally right now anyway. As long as we understand that you're just a temp.

[Valier]

I'm gunna try and answer the questions and/or suspisions of me

How am I not willing to commit? I voted Rune yesterday for Captain, because It was the first day and I was willing to give my friend (who I was sure was being a silly ordo) the chance to be Captain. Also my vote for you was, I thought warrented. you seemed to be bandwagoning very quickly.

And speaking of her - Valier, did you talk with Boro at all last Night? If yes, was there anything special you two came up with?

I'm not sure how my posts today have been ungenuine, I had little time yesterday or today to post, so I may have been a little rushed. I have explained my interactions with Rune already and it was a plain and simple reason....we are friends and hadn't heard from one another for quite awhile on the Downs and we were being a bit silly.

And yes Boro and myself PMed a bit last night but he seemed to be very busy. He thought that Mac was suspicious and said he himself was an Ordo. He thought I seemed innocent, that was about it.

I know I'm being a bit defensive but I really don't see why I am suspicious...because I voted Rune for captain? and my posts today are insinciere?
I'm just surprised to have 2 votes for me already today and I haven't been here to answer the suspicions.
I'm gunna attempt to read more and come up with a list of my suspisions in a bit.

[Valier]

wow looks like you guys are having a good game of "spin the bottle!"...so I get home from a day of work and I see suddenly half the village wants to see me dead....not quite sure why....Can someone please explain to me why I make such a good lynch candidate for the day?
I would really hate to leave the game so early when I know my talents will come in useful sooner or later.
Well seeing as I guess I need to defend myself or I'm a goner, I'm going back to read and see what people are so concerned about

[A Little Green]

lynch:
Brinn – Nerwen
Lommy – Valier
Roa – Legate
Nienna – Valier (2)

guard:
Brinn – Kath
Lommy – Nerwen
Fea – Lommy
Sally – Kath (2)
Nienna – Nerwen (2)

captain:
Fea – Roa
Brinn – Roa
Lommy – Roa (3)
Nienna – Legate
Sally - Nienna

Hope I didn't miss anything.

[A Little Green]

About the votes:

lynch:
Valier is the only one to have received more than one vote, and with her two votes basically anyone can still end up lynched. I'm not sure about lynching Valier as I haven't looked that much at her myself, but I have to admit some of the arguments against her look quite convincing.

guard:
Well this looks to be much to my liking since Kath and Nerwen are both people I consider voting to that position myself.

captain:
I think I'll probably vote Legate for Captain, I've already stated why. Sally's idea of making Nienna Captain looks interesting too, though, and certainly worth considering - especially as Nienna is maybe the one I trust most at the moment, or one of them.


EDIT: x-ed with Valier

[Valier]

Thank you Sally! At least for thinking along the same lines I am. I am pretty sure that Rune either thought he could sway me to his side or frame me later on, which it seems is happening right now. Ugg gotta read now I'm workin on it. Thank goodness there isn't much to read....is that a good thing?
