The game is working it's theme quite beautifully... beautifully... beautiful Soup!

I think the last cigarette didn't make me any wiser, and the clock ticks... tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic...

(Yes Sally, there's a lavatory that is not guarded and where one can smoke without the guards noticing... made me feel like a teenager again!)

I'd like to vote you Boro indeed!

If for nothing else, then to make you speak your mind at last and not get away with it just defending yourself and being smart & agreeable on general issues.

You have been around, you have been nice, cool and reasonable - and defending. And you have also avoided all possible controversies. Your suspicions? None.

If you're a wolf, then your points I have appreaciated about the wolves being very much able to play together in this kind of game turn out quite cynical points where you loved trying to lead us astray while knowing how the things are...

Croc!!!!



One more little paragraph to perfect and then I can come back on and make a list perhaps, and vote. So be back soon.

It really was a good story.

Ack, I have to cast my vote now unfortunately because of my horrendous work schedule today.

I haven't been able to go into detail on all of the posts since my last, but I'll try to make a few hurried comments before returning to work.

Suspicions:
Boro- reaction to the whole hint thing seemed strange to me (I'll try to explain below)
Loslote: the whole hinting thing

1) I understand Boro's unhappiness with having his words picked apart, but seeing as he's such an accomplished player his posts (along with others who fit this category, Nogrod comes to mind) will be picked apart because he's been tricky in the past. However, he should know this is how it works and not get so up in arms about it.
2) Sally's monster post broke things down, but didn't actually provide a whole lot of commentary. Fairly typical behavior, but can't say I agree with this seeing as it could be a possible hiding tactic.
3) Glirdan was the first to say Boro is a hinting baddie. However, looking at the context of the post it's mostly a joke. Loslote jumping onto that and making it something has both a good and a bad side. The good side is it has stirred up conversation, the bad side is that she latched on to that particular idea in a somewhat serious manner. Nerwen does the same sort of thing.
4) I'd like to see Durelin explain her groupings:

Interesting point and I had actually overlooked Wilwa's post about that. But the part about it not being conducive to catching wolves can also go along with those who are back and forth on Boro's "hinting" issue.

I apologize for this rushed post, but...

++ Loslote

As I said above she took hold of the hinting idea that Glirdan appears to have put forth as a joke. This did stir up conversation, but at the same time Loslote didn't commit to the idea one way or the other. This sort of vague, flip-flipping is an easy way to hide a baddie on Day 1.

[Durelin]

I'm not going to explaining myself this time. No one ever listens anyway.

Too many people... (I know, there's really not as many as usual...)

I'll try to come up with something.

[Durelin]

Aw, I have to double post? I want to give you guys something before people go to bed.

So the reasons for my groupings: the voices in my head? It's like gut feeling. It tells me things. Indigestion does make the voices more talkative.

Basically, Nogrod's first couple posts gave me a vibe of some vague sort. Loslote is annoyingly agree-able and like 'im going to be helpful!' But so is Sally.

Glirdan seemed like low-radar wolf somehow, and Kitanna seemed like 'I'm going to be the sense in this chaos and skate through silly Day 1 mwaha.'

But Pitchwife could be the same thing.

And Isabel is low-radar skater wolf.

Hehe.

[Pitchwife]

OK, a shot in the dark:
++Durelin
Sorry, but we might actually listen if you gave us something to listen to...

EDIT: x-ed with Dury...

[Nerwen]

Just a note: my internet has been dying on and off for the last hour or so, so please excuse lack of participation at the moment.

Hmmn. I'm actually getting more of a cobblerish vibe from Lottie toDay, but maybe that's a hangover from last game.

Now, I may be taking this too personally, but Pitch himself is starting to creep me out:

Because I made some actual arguments in between being silly– on Day One. In a lunatic asylum. Really.

EDIT:X'd since Durelin at #85.

No, I'm perfectly sane. Please ignore the straitjacket.

So initially this post seems quite fine to me. But her later ones don't so much, she did focus on this subject a bit too much, kind of going back and forth between "it looks weird" but then "well, we can't take it too seriously". So I don't know, fishy.

Boro's first post, I don't see anything wrong with it, just a fun story he wanted to share. But afterwards he defended it, then again, then just some little comments here and there and not really much more than that. So I find he spent too much time focusing on something that was not really that big of a deal, and really it's not like someone was gonna vote him just for that, so it didn't really merit the defence. Just seems like he could have said something more pertinent.

Pitch, seems ok I guess, he looks a bit touchy about the joking atmosphere, but I mean this is a game, set in an insane asylum, of course we're going to joke around. If it was Day 3 and we were still doing it, then I get it, but on Day 1 it's no big deal. Otherwise though, I don't see anything odd here.

Nerwen's "go wolves" thing, I don't know why people are taking it so seriously, it was a joke, it's Day 1, we're being silly. Sally wanted to eat me. I wanted to eat Sallycakes. Durelin wanted to eat all of us (oh, and people are suspecting her for that too, everyone is crazy).

I just find that people are looking at the wrong stuff. We look at votes once we have them, we look at interactions between people, we look at peoples' reactions and suspicions and who they trust, and their contributions and such. We should not be looking at random Day 1 in character banter, or stories about our students or clowns. Just seems like grasping at straws to me.

*breaths* Anyways. So Pitch and Lottie do look a bit off to me, but I think Boro is the worst. I just find he made a big deal about people making a big deal out of something little he said. And then there wasn't much else (RL, I know, but he did make some random comments here and there, if he knew he couldn't come back he *should* have said something substantial instead). So. My vote could very well go here.

I can get a lot more lupine. Like, when I'm a wolf, I'm totally lupine-esque! When I'm not, like now, not so much, no.

But to answer the actual point...

"I'd like to look at him toMorrow" means "I don't find him suspicious and my only problem with him is I'm worried because I don't find him suspicious so I'm going to leave him be for now and look more closely at him later". Better?

EDIT: xed with Wilwa

[Morsul the Dark]

I just LOVE the Democratic process! Hehe The Rasmussin Poll has the following votes so far!

Kitanna----->Loslote
Pitch------>Durelin
Nogrod----->Pitch
Wilwa----->Boro
Loslote---->Nerwen

Confusion Confusion Everywhere!

Tick....Tock....Tick...Tock

[Isabellkya]

Your reasons, or lack there of confuse me Loslote. Should these of been things that you yourself had thought of before making your vote. As opposed to speculating when I asked after your vote?

Roughly 1.5 hours until deadline Mod?

Three after a quick skimming.

I *had* noticed this before I voted. And I mentioned it in my list post.

That the best you can do?

If she is nefarious and is lynched because of her proclamations; then that would be quite the silly wolf. Or do you supposed she is the Cobbler?

From the your post here in the middle, it had not sounded like you considered the motive behind a Nerwolf playing around in evil banter.
