The way Boro is springing to Lommy's defence now makes me wonder if it's Boro + Lommy. Or is that too simple?

I'd sort of come to think quite well of Boro, mainly because he tried to quash the "let's all agree to kill Lottie" thing– if she's innocent, as seems likely, that's a free kill for the wolves. But then a Borowolf might think supporting her would pay off in the long run.

On the other hand, I can't say I trust Nogrod either... though his frustration at finding Mac dead looks fairly genuine...

I really need to go back and read through everything. I've just been so flat-out the last few Days that I've been lazy and relied more on other people's analyses, which isn't a good thing.

Loslote you being a known innocent does not mean thta you don't need to reason your votes or use your brains.

Okayaie, I'm less annoyed now, I'm not convinced Nogrod is a wolf but I won't be surprised at all if he turns out to be one. Here's a fair point by Nerwen:
Quote:

I didn't think of that and I agree with this statement. However, I can imagine him starting that analysis while waiting his fellow to reply his PM and then be sort of convinced to kill Mac instead (and thus abandon the analysis) and just then gloat about his sort of frustration here. Or of course he could be bluffing, but that seems less characteristic.

You can call me silly, sure, but I did think of that as an option. I thought Mac's death as more probable, though, since he was suspected less by far. Besides the wolves have killed suspicious-looking previous Day's lynch-candidates before in this game (like Inzil).

And what exactly would that tell you? If I was a wolf, my death could make you or Nogrod look better, but as I'm not, it won't really tell you anything. Just consider, what will you benefit if you lynch me and find out I'm innocent? Will that make you suspect yourself? Or Nogrod? Or do something else? And sorry darling, you are not right about this. If you lynch me, I will make sure my last words are "what did I tell you?"

You can lynch me if you want to. However, I don't think that's smart. That's one more innocent lynch, and although we can still afford that, it would be stupid. Especially as I really think you will get nothing out of my death (except maybe suspicion for Brinn, but that would serve her right ). And I'd like to echo what Boro said about this being a sort of crucial Day, so I'd prefer lynching a wolf toDay.

And why would I have done that as a wolf? My own life was in danger, I had expressed a lot of suspicion of Wilwa and she would've been the easy lynch. If I was a wolf, why not just go for Wilwa and not start meddling with some tricky last minute bandwagon when I myself had the shared place of most votes already? It just doesn't make any sense!

No, it wasn't because of that. Didn't I say yesterDay myself that after you brought the whole thing up, it's unlikely [I'm going to die next? The only reason why I thought I could be killed is Mac's rather puzzlingly strong defense of me, which made at least me and Sally raise eyebrows, so why not the wolves? And when I said I expected to be killed, I'm not saying I was pondering who would get killed for the whole Night and conclude it's Mac or me. No. Merely when I was waiting for my private modly news service to send me an sms about the death since I wasn't around myself at DL, I started thinking who could've died and it just occured to me it could be Mac or me, more probably him. So I was not surprised when I got the message announcing Mac's death.

Agreed. I don't really get why I am so suspicious. If it's because of Wilwa, well, I'm not the only one who suspected her and there was even the possibility I wouldn't have voted her. And if advocating a lynch for innocent (Wilwa) makes me guilty, more or less everybody is guilty based on yesterDay, because I'm innocent too. And if it's because I said I thought I could've been killed - well as a wolf it probably wouldn't have occured to me that I could be killed, hint hint. No, as a wolf I wouldn't be ruthless enough to fabricate some "Mac and I might look gifted together" theory, then kill Mac as thanks for being more or less the only one who thinks me innocent and claim it proves my innocence. That would be quite gross. And speaking of this, if I was a wolf, why on earth would I have killed Mac? He was one of the few who really believed in my innocence. Why would I kill him then when there's considerable amounts of suspicion against me? Again, it doesn't make any sense.

Now I feel like PMing Legate and asking him to change my role so that I'd see you sulking. Well seriously no, but you can be sure that you will be dead for me for a week, if you only gallantly step to my aid only because you're a wolf who thinks he will have a mighty good "I told you so" Day after I'm dead...

YesterDay, I started with presenting the Nogrod-Sally theory, and toDay, Nogrod started by bashing my first post.

PS. for Nogrod - you diss me for suggesting you are a wolf because there would be so much wolf-on-wolf, yet you suspect me of all people. That's quite contradictory. If you claim wolves would shy away from massive amounts of wolf-on-wolvery, why are you jumping on a person who tried to get Mnemo lynched for two Days in a row and who voted second asnd third, both times at the sort of "get the bandwagon rolling" point?

PPS. I checked the vote count for Day2.

Your vote wasn't decisive, it was maybe confirming, but not decisive. Mnemo would have died without your vote, especially as, if I recall correctly, Eomer who was left to vote after you had suspected Mnemo quite a lot.

I agree with the whole fighting back part. Lommy feels like a cornered wolf to me and I swear I remember seeing her act this way before as a threatened wolf. Which is probably why I'm so convinced she is one this time.

If I'm somehow wrong about Lommy, I don't think that necessarily means Nogrod is guilty. At this stage, I don't really see why a wolfish Nogrod who has been under not much scrutiny himself would want to build this huge case against an innocent who could probably still get lynched without it.

I'm not sure a Borowolf would be so obvious in defending her if they were packmates. There's a good chance Lommy could be lynched toDay, and if they were wolves together, I'd imagine the smarter thing to do would be to go wolf on wolf. And I know Boro doesn't mind throwing fellow wolves under the bus, so why would he defend his mate if it'll only make him look worse?

I did say I have doubts that you and Sally are wolves together, so knowing your role could raise or lower my suspicions of her. That's only one example.

Nah. Your vote for wilwa only added fuel to an already burning fire. I've been suspecting you since the end of Day 3.

Aye, I've acted quite similarily as a cornered wolf. Only then it's more like a martyr show and less rational (because I know I sort of deserve the suspicion even if the accusations are stupid) than now. But I've acted similarily as a cornered ordo, or even as a cornered ranger. So I wouldn't make any conclusions if I was you (especially as you're making the wrong conclusions. If you end up lynching me, my slight comfort will be that at least Brinn gets to be proven wrong. )

Then let's lynch Sally. That would give me an idea of Nogrod's role and you an idea of my role.

Yes, without any reason I can see as sensible and without caring about the fact that if I was a wolf, I would either be a very ruthless and cold-hearted one or a very stupid one (pursuing a fellow since Day1, killing Mac last Night, for example). Please, think outside the box for a while. Consider what I have said in my defense and whether it could be true. Just, for a while, let go of your suspicion and try to see it from my point of view. If you still suspect me as strongly, well then I think that there is no understanding between us because I can't see how can you still suspect me and you can't see where I'm coming from and you may try to get me lynched with better conscience. Just if you are an innocent, you should reconsider and not latch yourself to a mindless attack. It's braver to reconsider your old suspicions than to stick them to then end if they don't make any sense.

PS. Totally unrelatedly, Brinn, I like your sig.

Read this!

Reading through the thread I was quite amazed of the fast and easy "Lommy-wagon" - even if people suspecting her had suspected her earlier as well. But it looked really bad.

Which brought me to this:
Quote:

Now let's pause for a moment.


Lottie called her role as the "Birthday dreamer"

Now please veterans help me out (Lommy & Boro I think have played long enough) or those who have read the really old games...

But wasn't a "birthday dreamer" a person who got to dream of someone on a certain pre-given Night (like Night 3 or 4) - and then got the role of the one s/he dreamt?!!!

That is the birthday -part of it: as a present that person may take the new role (I don't remember whether it was compulsory to take that role or whether there was a choice involved).

Enedwaith...

Feel free to suspect me that I'm trying to out our only "known innocent", but I'm pretty serious. It is a real concern to me at least now that I remembered the nature of that role, as it had been. Not only because it would mean we have actually three wolves left and not just two, but also that one of them might lie down in front of us trusted by everyone.

If I was a wolf and the stuff I say was just my trick on you, please consider would I then try to voice this concern this openly? I know some of you jump on me saying: he's trying to speak against Lottie once more and she must be innocent. But I have felt the whole Lottie-thing being odd all the time. Was it Wilwa who said that what an anticlimax to have a once dreaming seer as the secret role... I agree. And looking at what she does doesn't make me think of her any more innocentish.

A birthday dreamer - old-school way - would be a neutralish role in the beginning as that person could dream of anyone; gifted or wolf or ordo...

Why did they sacrifice Pitchie then? A good question... Maybe there was a ruling that if she found a wolf he should be revealed as not to make the game too uneven (already four wolves in the beginning and then this to put people off the track even more)?

I'm not sure about this... well how could I be? But consider, especially you who are familiar with the "Birthday dreamer".

Okay, now to make myself a dinner... just had to vent this out.

I have no idea whether what Nog's saying here is right– this was all before my time– but that would change everything.

Anyone know?

The role Nog is describing does seem very awkward, yes. The point where it all falls apart for me is pretty basic: If that were the role, why would she ever reveal that she was a Birthday Dreamer when she could as easily claim to be a regular old Seer, and just hadn't found a wolf yet? She and most everyone else were already pretty confident about Pitch by that point, it would more or less be a done deal.

I understand that she'd have become suspicious after that and around Day 7 or 8 it would be hard for her to claim that she hadn't found a new wolf yet, but it would be better than telling us she was a Birthday Dreamer, which would imply to us that if she was right, she would be a new wolf herself. I think the role works just like she told us it does. Well, barring some wicked reverse psychology and assuming that no one could look up the role.

It's not having to dream a wolf. The "mythomaniac" role could pick one person (at a certain point) and assume that role for the rest of the game. So, if he/she picks and ordo, she's an ordo.

I'm just familiar with it, because I remember being a wolf, and getting super happy and confident that we killed the seer early (I think Day 2 or 3). But there was also the mythomaniac role, who had picked the seer, assuming seer duties and I was ousted as a wolf.

I'll say what I was going to before this "Evil!Birthday dreamer" theory came up.

I don't like the how the attention has been narrowed down to 2 people, when there are 6-7 others chilling around. When I get back from class I'll look at those others.
Boro's making a lot of sense here, and the way nearly everyone seems to be for lynching Lommy is starting to worry me. Although, if she's a wolf, there's only one other, so it's not like there'd be a large rescue party... But still, Sally is one of those jumping on her, and I still don't trust her– her last post felt quite evil. (EDIT: Not to mention Lottie, who voted her, being possibly evil after all). And it's worrying me too, the way people who were suspected earlier have managed to disappear out of view again, and the way Morsul and Bes just seem to slip by from Day to Day in their own little bubbles, with nobody taking much notice of them (although I think Morsul's shameless flattery of me should get him a pass for toDay ).

But the thing is, this is all a glaring contrast to the way Boro acted yesterDay. Boro, I know you said this:

So, yes late yesterday, I wanted to stay on-course so to say.
But in fact you were all for slicing off Wilwa's head with Occam's razor hours before the DL. You really pushed to lynch her.

EDIT:X'd since Shasta.

Replying and reading at the same time...

Nogrod, that is a scary theory, especially as it kind of makes sense! Because then Lottie could've revealed the Day before and just tell half of her role... and then she really would've had to give us a dream (and maybe she wasn't allowed to pm with her fellows yet?) so she saw no other option as telling the trust that she dreamt of Pitchie (also that was quite an ingenious way of earning out trust). If I may say without being jumped on, that really explains her single-minded and unreasoned voting against me Day after Day - very easy for a wolf, an innocent would maybe think more. Aiee... I'm tempted to buy this theory but I probably shouldn't, at least right away. Hmmm... I need to think more.

I know! But the difference is that Mac was guilty back then and I'm innocent now. It might be presumptuous to say, but I wouldn't have been so sure if I had been right: I've never been as sure of anyone's guilt before or after that (that is, without universally acknowledged heavy evidence). I won't be wanting any apologies (it's just a game), except maybe for stating that there are good reasons to suspect me because I simply can't see any.

I mean, this is really puzzling. I don't simply get where is all the suspicion against me coming from. I can't see anything wolvish I would've done, (nor why people don't see my points about why it's unlikely I'm a wolf). If you lynch me toDay, I advice to look at the suspicion bandwagon against me very carefully: I'm pretty sure you will find one if not two wolves there.

Anyway back to Lottie birthday dreamer issue - I think it would actually be quite likely Legate used the original role. And as for people changing behaviour towards Lottie after the Nigth she dreamt, that could mean nothing, because it could mean they didn't get to PM or even know her role yet then...

..am I really believeing in this guilty birthday dreamer thingy? Oh my. I'll be off for a while and think about it and other stuff, like for example who are our remaining wolves... (speaking of which Nogrod is playing quite a game with all this birthday dreamer stuff if he's a wolf...)

But if it's between two people, I'd rather vote for the one I find more suspicious, which is you.

Please, think outside the box for a while. Consider what I have said in my defense and whether it could be true. Just, for a while, let go of your suspicion and try to see it from my point of view. If you still suspect me as strongly, well then I think that there is no understanding between us because I can't see how can you still suspect me and you can't see where I'm coming from and you may try to get me lynched with better conscience. Just if you are an innocent, you should reconsider and not latch yourself to a mindless attack. It's braver to reconsider your old suspicions than to stick them to then end if they don't make any sense.
I admit it's possible my suspicion of you has blinded me from your defenses as I cannot see it coming from anything but an evil perspective. And I know it's annoying for someone to be stuck on one person (especially if you're the victim), but I'm not just going to let go because of the possibility I could be wrong. You've been this way before too. In the last game I modded, you insisted Mac was a wolf and wouldn't let go of it until he was lynched...and in the end, you were right. So while you still hate it, surely you can see where I'm coming from. If I'm wrong and you are innocent, then I apologise, though I won't feel too terrible since I didn't suspect you without good reason.

Nogrod makes an interesting point about Lottie's role, though I wouldn't be too quick to jump on her just because of what the role might've involved in the past. For one thing, the birthday dreamer role hasn't been used for a long time, before Legate's time too I think. His version of birthday dreamer could possibly be different than what it originally was. I just don't understand why she would reveal if this was so; maybe she didn't know the role already existed? I don't have time to figure this out, so I'll think about it more toMorrow when I actually have time.

I have class now, so I must vote now since I won't be back. No surprises here:

Plus the fact that the game started... on Legate's birthday.

In any case, I'm just back from a final and am reading. Right now I'm still thinking that one of Nog and Lommy is a wolf, and that Boro and Bes have done complete 180s on Lottie which strikes me as odd.

Where I stand - I would be willing to lynch Lommy, Nog, and to a lesser extent Sally today.

A note - Nerwen is far below my radar this game. If there's anyone not playing like they usually do, it's my queen.

Edit: X'ed with Nog. Remember where absolutes get you, Nog? (Hint: Roa wasn't a wolf.)

Yes, I was willing to bet the house she was a wolf. I got it wrong, I'll send her a christmas card or something to make up for it. When you realize you were wrong about your top suspect, and you put a lot of effort towards that one suspect, you realize that you have no idea about anyone still living besides a few vague feelings. My certainess about believing I was on the "right trail" took a big hit.

And I still just did not like the way today was shaping up with the direction being driven on Nog and Lommy. Yesterday, and the day before, there was still a lot of things going on, and action, besides my hard-headed crusade against wilwa.

Possibly, but I don't agree with the reasoning that the role was used before Legate's entrance into WW. He's a heavy reader of past and present games (of course when he's got the time for it). He could easily know about the role, doesn't mean it's not altered, or that Nog is even correct, but it is worthy of more thought than a quick dismissal. Especially since, I think Lottie has changed her behavior from her revealed days as a believed seer, to her last 2 days as an assumed innocent.

Hold your horses, I'm busy just like you. If you want a quick summary.

Basically, I don't like how the focus has been narrowed down to 2 people today. That is handing the wolves a situation they can control. I wanted to start putting pressure on the people I haven't been spending a great deal of time on, plus those who have been easing by, not getting involved in all these battles that keep happening every day. So, those who have been playing a clean, safe game so far. I include you in here (along with Bes and Brinn...and to a lesser extent sally).

As far as specific things against you. Your votes so far are questionable. Your Day 1 looked reasonable enough, but Mnemo said in #108 that a vote for you would be "too easy" especially considering your vote for Mac. And in #120 Pitch said that your vote looked based on a hunch and that it was understandable. That's 2 wolves defending a vote that I don't see was all that bad. The early first votes are usually the safest (but of course do to any time constraints it is understandable), but no one really finds early Day 1 votes suspicious. So, I wonder what 2-wolves are doing defending you for it?

Plus your vote for yourself. You didn't want to be mod-fired, that's good and it doesn't point to either innocence or wolvery. But the fact that it was for yourself, it looks not only safe, but a move to make people think you're innocent since you did vote for yourself. Now, I'm not familiar with you as a wolf yet, but from the reputation it sounds like you are a tough one to follow. And that vote explains it...you vote because you do not want to be mod-fired, thus you did not want "die." Yet you vote for yourself which suggests you do? The vote itself is safe, and typically when innocents vote for themself it's out of frustration...but your self-vote wasn't out of frustration which makes it look like you were doing it to look innocent, and that gets me suspicioius.

Now please veterans help me out (Lommy & Boro I think have played long enough) or those who have read the really old games...

But wasn't a "birthday dreamer" a person who got to dream of someone on a certain pre-given Night (like Night 3 or 4) - and then got the role of the one s/he dreamt?!!!

That is the birthday -part of it: as a present that person may take the new role (I don't remember whether it was compulsory to take that role or whether there was a choice involved).
Wow, Nog, you have just convinced me to reconsider everything I've concluded about Lottie. On top of that, I really would not want to see either you or Lommy lynched today (possibly for good too).

I'm not familiar with the "birthday-dreamer" but what you are describing sounds like the Mythomaniac, who chose a person and then could assume their role.

And I don't suspect you for pointing this out, it's something I didn't think about. My reasons for adamantly defending Lottie were, because every part of her reveal matched up. Also, yesterday, if she did only get one dream then the wolves may deem other people larger threats, and risk keeping a known innocent around. That is why I was trying to push that we accept her story, however I also wanted to challenge her to be a real pain-in-the-@** to the wolves, and either try to make them kill her or regret they didn't. Her behavior today and yesterday is a lot different than the days she revealed and then gave us Pitch.

Now they did sacrifice a wolf, but think of the benefit for pulling off a stunt like that if you and wilwa are correct about the secret-role. What do we then make of Bes? Because now the whole Lottie saying "I only dreamed of Pitch, because he said I should dream of Bes" looks too fabricated and clean.
