TIG LXIX: Meeting at the House of Usher

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You could always try to speed things up by negotiating with the other team.

"What do you say we kill Sauce and Fea and get back to the fun?"

That could be fun to watch...

Nog, you seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that our approach guarantees us victory. That is by no means the case. Nor is it the case that the Wolves can simply waltz in and guarantee themselves victory, not toDay at least. There are risks for them in trying that. And, as my better half has already pointed out, they might well prefer to take a risk and go for the sole win anyway.

What would you have us do? Play nobly but suicidally? If we start trying to point out Wolves, do you think that they are really going to let us hang around for much longer? They might choose not to anyway. But really, I hardly think it unsporting for us to try play the hand of cards that we have been dealt as best we can.

Now, let's hear no more of this. If you are innocent, you should be out hunting Wolves rather than bemoaning perfectly valid strategies just because you don't agree with them.

Heh, they can't by numbers... toDay at least, but they can make a pact with you toDay to ensure their/your shared victory toMorrow...

You know that.

There are risks for them in trying that.

I can see that. And actually I lay my hopes on that risk being too big for them - your erraticness could just turn it over to our side as well. What I try to say, it is just up for your grabs. Well until either side wishes to do away with you... (and that I can see as your only fear) it then becomes a question which side could afford trying it - and it seems not to be an easy question to answer... I mean how could I count for other innocents to take my side if I rallied against you - or whether the one remaining of you would not kill one of us (well me, out of annoyance to your roles as you seem to vote)? Divide and conquer? Right? Anyone rising up against you would be your first kill-target. Nice way to keep people from trying it in a situation where every death counts.

And anyway, the wolves can make a pact of trying something in concerto during the Night but we can't - and as the results are non-fathomable there is no real motive to try you...

What would you have us do? Play nobly but suicidally?

For example that... or just playing true to your count as innocents...

If we start trying to point out Wolves, do you think that they are really going to let us hang around for much longer?

You just said yesterDay that you had one or two of them at crosshairs... now you say you don't... Slacking are you, because of the comfort of your status or just bluffing for nothing (no wolf would have actually believed you with the threat; now why would they have as you should not have any more information anyone else of us has?)

I mean this looks awkward...


Mira!!! Nienna!!!

Please tell us if what these two said about their roles is true. I mean we are entitled to know the rules even if all is not told in the set-up roles section.

But really, I hardly think it unsporting for us to try play the hand of cards that we have been dealt as best we can.

I'm not denying it - and I think I said it already before. How come you didn't catch it?

If you are innocent, you should be out hunting Wolves rather than bemoaning perfectly valid strategies just because you don't agree with them.

I have been doing it the last hour and I will post soon to say what I think... sorry for the diversion.

Though you won't trust my word for it, I assure you we checked and double-checked everything prior to publicizing.

Fea is indeed correct. Everything they've said about the rules is the truth.

Well, that surely depends upon whom you lynch, doesn't it.

I said that I was confident of having pegged one, possibly more. That remains the case. That doesn't mean that the Wolves won't take the risk of attacking one of us, particularly if we start making it more difficult for them than we already have.

Right, so stop whinging and get on with it.

Edit: Crossed with the Nogster, who I see is getting on with it. Fair 'nuff.
