TIG LXIX: Meeting at the House of Usher

[Morsul the Dark]

Actually I thought there was a "Good wolf" until doing the math (the reason for 3/4? was would the "good" wolf be considered in the wolves count... but after I did the math(which we now know was flawed) I now know the answer...

And yet you vote for me for thinking the same.

Congratulations. You have just appeared between my crosshairs.

Congratulations. You have just appeared between my crosshairs.

Actually I'm saying we were confused by the math(due to the seven vs. six ordo error)

But you threw in this "Good Wolf" idea and created more confusion, so yes you are my top suspect. I fell for Your ruse or "confusion" but I think until you said the good wolf thing we all knew what was actually meant You placed that seed of doubt..

Fair enough, I was also going to say, about you this is my first game with you...and I believe your second? I didn't read the last game, so I have no idea about your style, but wanted to get a response from you first before sharing that.

Circumstantial, maybe. But relevant nevertheless and, I think, a reasonable basis for an early Day 1 suspicion when combined with the other points that I raised. You did seem rather keen to claim that you had thought there only to be three Wolves.

Eh? My suspicions, such as they are, are not based on anything that anyone else has said. They are based purely on what you have said. You appear to be trying to misrepresent the nature of my case against you here.

Well, given that my misunderstanding about the 'friendly Wolf' appears to have given rise to no small amount of suspicion and now one vote, I hardly think that I am being overly-defensive. I am merely trying to point out the ludicrous nature of the basis for such suspicion. Still, if you were trying to sow the seeds of doubt against me back there, it seems to have paid off.

I am going to have to vote soon.

I agree that Hakon's reasoning is wrong-headed and is unhelpful to the Village. But it is hardly a basis to vote for him, at this stage at least.

Much as Roa's stubborn obtuseness and unwillingness to see the problems with her own reasoning is frustrating, I am not going to vote for her toDay, tempting though it is to do so. The 'clash of Innocents' that Pitch referred to is something that I am definately wary of.

I have a vague feeling of unease about Pitch. He just seems to be sitting on the sidelines appearing reasonable but stirring the pot every now and then. Nothing strong enough to merit a vote for him at this stage, but one to watch I think.

Some suspicion of Nogrod, based on his early aggression, but again not enough to vote for him toDay.

My main concern now is Morsul. Not just because he voted for me, but because he has picked up on this the (frankly ludcrous, as I have pointed out) argument that others, most notably Roa, have made and used it to justify his vote.

Of the others, I have not really formed much of a view so far.

Hey, sorry guys there's a bunch of stuff going on with me right now, that kinda came out of nowhere, so I'm not gonna really be around again toDay. There's a strong chance I may have to drop out of this game, but I hope I don't have to. I'll keep you guys updated. Sorry.

Not gonna bother voting, cause it would be crazy random and I don't want to do that since I haven't really read what's been going on.

Oh good grief. I probably shouldn't be rising to it, as it is no doubt most entertaining for the Wolves. I am not doing this at all, Roa. I am pointing out that, if you did try to sow seeds of doubt, it worked. I shouldn't have to repeat this but perhaps you will listen this time round. My suspicions of you derive solely from what you have done, not from what anyone else has done. Are we clear on that now?

As you will have seen form my last post, I am not holding you responsible for Morsul's vote. I regard him entirely responsible for that. And I do think that there might be something Wolfish in it.

Er, trying to claim that you thought that there were only three Wolves would be a clever ruse. Trying to pretend that there was a 'friendly Wolf' would be a stupid one. That's why I think yours a possibility while I regard the accusation against me as frankly insulting.

I am not sure that anyone is assuming that. I most certainly am not. I agree that we cannot rely on the Bear do do anything vis-a-vis the Wolves. Ditto the Wolves vis-a-vis the Bear. However, I see no harm in pointing out, for the Bear's benefit, that it is in his interests to go after the Wolves.

I am not sure that I like the look of Pitch's vote. It rather came out of nowhere. Flimsy reasoning has been much discussed toDay (hardly suprising, given that it is Day 1), but his case against Boro looks to be the flimsiest of the flim to me.
