Well, a strange game this is shaping up to be, in keeping with the trend lately.
The wolves couldn't have made a better choice for their kill last Night. ![]() Quote:

Indeed, did you have any specific reason for thinking he was innocent, Blind? You did not mention it.

So, I was rather struck by young Blind Guardian's dialogue toDay, and I thought I'd turn it into a little play. (Longer passages have been summarised in italics. All BG's posts are untouched.)
EYELESS WATCHER A play in one act by Nerwen Sally: Ha, ha, Boro's a wolf! Blind Guardian: Bye-bye Izzy, it was nice to know you. Why do you think Boro's a wolf? Loslote: This is why. Blind Guardian: I don't think that Boro's a wolf, of course what am I to know? Mira: This is why too. Nerwen: And this. Paranoia: Ditto. Blind Guardian: This is all just guessing though. And she wasn't the Seer she was the cobbler. Right? So what's the big deal. If you vote off Boro you may have one less wolf/Seer/villager or whatever. Though I see where you are going. Looks suspicious. Hm... Lottie: *analyses Boro in detail* See? Bad. Blind Guardian: OK now he sounds evil. Nerwen: Barring a Seer-reveal, it's always "just guessing". The point is that the wolves may have thought she was the Seer. Blind Guardian: I just so happened she was the cobbler So who killed her? Lottie: The wolves. They were silly. Blind Guardian: No I meant who is the wolves, I knew that! Various: Cookies! Cookies! Blind Guardian: OK OK enough with the cookies! Who's the wolf? Lottie: Boro. I think Boro. Also Morsul, because of his supremely annoying "no vote" yesterDay. See my vote post for reasons why this is evil. Blind Guardian: Boro does look suspicious. I don't know, let me read Blind Guardian: Paranoa too, looked suspicious. Keeper of Dol Guldur (formerly Mirandir): I am Mira no more! I am a Nazgul! Fear me! Raaa! Keeper of Dol Guldur (commenting on Blind's "who's the wolf? post): That's kinda the point of the game. To figure that out. Try working some suspicions out for yourself and see where that gets us. Lottie: Hmm. Noia could just be a rather...agressive newbie. I'd give him a bit longer to see if he calms down a bit. Blind Guardian: We where talking about cookies, I was trying to get us back on track. Blind Guardian: Then that leaves Boro Lottie: It's not so much that it leaves Boro, he just happens to look guilty. There are plenty of other people who could be wolves. Actually, three more, to be specific. For example...I still don't like Morsul's refusal to vote. And there are several people (Glirdy, Wilwa, Cabbie, and Tum come to mind) who haven't really posted and thus haven't given us much to work with. But Boro does look bad, I'll readily give you that. Blind Guardian: True. I don't like Morsul's refusal to vote either. Might be a wolf trying to act innocent. Keeper of Dol Guldur: Morsul's refusal to vote doesn't bother me the way it seems to be bothering other people. I've refused to vote on Day 1 plenty of times because I hate crapshoot votes. At least he bothered to post, unlike half the people supposedly playing in this game. Lottie *explains why Morsul's post was suspicious* Various: Deadline? Deadline? Blind Guardian: That's what I didn't like. Keeper of Dol Guldur: What didn't you like? It's disgustingly ambiguous posts like that that don't get us anywhere and just confuse people. Please try to be more specific. Blind Guardian: I said I didn't like Morsul not posting! That's what we where talking about. Keeper of Dol Guldur: Actually we were talking about deadline, but if you want to think that you can. Furthermore, why don't you like Morsul not posting? Making ambiguous posts with no justification is a waste of everybody's time because then people have to ask why. Blind Guardian: I didn't like his post because he came online, said he wasn't going to vote and then dissapeared. What the heck? Why not just lerk then say anything at all and act suspicious. And his reasoning was that he didn't suspeact anyone or something along those lines. That he was confused. Why not ask questions like me? "oh I'm a seer and I know something so I'm not going to vote" If that didn't make sence I'm tired and my thumb hurts [Note: it makes sense, but it's just a repeat of Lottie's reasons.] Critic's response: This remarkably fresh drama, with its sparkling, witty conversation and it surface gaiety, carries a darker, yet inescapable subtext. The audience is left wondering: what, exactly, is the relationship between Blind Guardian and Boromir88? What drives her to be truly– in a brilliant piece of symbolism– "blind" to the mounting evidence against him, to try, seemingly, to find another suspect for the crime of which he is accused? We know from the beginning that this is no love story: what strange, unspoken bond, then, can it be that links these two very different characters? EDIT:X'd since my last post.

And in case it's not clear what I'm getting at in my last post: I wouldn't be surprised if Boro and Blind Guardian were packmates. It sort of looks that way. I mean she might be just a newbie who is grateful to him for being kind to her, and doesn't understand why he's suspicious, but still...

Quick announcement:
I'll be going to see Duck (and our friend the Right Honorable Guinea Pig, our cohort for most of our little adventures) this afternoon. They're all growed up. *sniff* Anyway, while I don't plan to be gone that long, I don't know what (if anything) we'll be doing, so I'm not sure when I'll be back once I leave. But don't worry, I'll be voting at some point, I swear. Otherwise Shasta's threatened me with a grisly death. ![]()

And I don't know about Lottie, but I do think you would go for an easy lynch. Why on Earth not?

Anyway I've got Morsul done (have for a while, but my mum showed up so I've not been able to post) and am tacking on a quick analysis of Elfie (hehe) so I'll be back in a few minutes with that.
