Uh huh. And what about when the entire village is going after what looks like an innocent? You think it's better to go along with the village and make yourself less conspicuous, right, Autume? Not so for me. If my vote is meaningless, it might as well make a point (as in Phantom's case) or be funny (self-voting.)

Well if this is less conspicuous you sure could of fooled me.

I haven't played enough games with you to know if this is something you do on a normal basis.

I think this is at least the third game I know of that you've voted for yourself.

No, it isn't. I'm not the one who thinks the point of the game is to be as inconspicuous as possible - that's you.

I ought to go back and have a close look at him. I've found it somewhat odd that he refused to vote for Nog last Night, and then they both have seemingly been after Lottie toDay.

Rikae hasn't an original thought in her head. She's a very lemming-like player who always hops onto the opinions of others and never breaks away from the group. I don't think I've ever heard her act "out of turn" or "strange" in the thirty-some games (or so) I've played with her over the last two and a half years.



Oh, and she's incredibly awesome. But that part's actually true.

Basically what I meant was that I didn't realize I was trying to be inconspicuous. It was just some dry humor that fell flat. What I need is a smiley that falls fat on their face right here.

I'm home, and reading to catch up. In the skimming that I've done so far I've seen some really really lame stuff. I'm thinking I'll have some strong words for some of you when I'm done and ready to post.

Nogrod, kindly go back, read my post and answer my actual points rather than your strawman version thereof.

I am getting very tired of you, indeed. At best, you've spent the entire game causing massive confusion and wasting everyone's time. I don't know what's up with you, but... honestly, whatever you are, why are you being such a jerk?

Heated battles are one thing, but the way you're been acting takes a lot of the fun out of the game.

Who of you would stand up for her if someone made a case?
This... doesn't look good.

EDIT:X'd since phantom at #709.

And that woulld be like post #? Sorry too late to for me to go skimming over alll the unrelated stuff + all the nonsense. So where is it, if there is it? And really, a post that has been posted already... you are free to make a new one but let's then drop this moral high-ground you're climbing for...

Hey! Let's be decent out there! We have our roles, but let's not call each other jerks? If you're an innocent then trust me, we'll hopefully gain from this - and if you're not - then try to cope with it as a losing wolf...

And really, wasting everybody's time... the last Day (D2) I felt you were the one -with a few others who called for the same things - that were taking all my time! I had no chance of doing anything on D2 as all my time went into answering your ridiculous suspicions, and one's of those who backed you!

Also, it was not me but you who came back again and again too those issues we had already talked over (I tried to say time and time again that let's proceed from here). Were those others your lupine-friends or where they just ones to use you, I don't know.

That's the basic scenario from my POV. If someone says something then the lazy vultures come circling around without no need to give up anything themselves... they're vultures, you know. And the only substance they have is borrowed by those who really try to do something...

Seriously? I mean if yes, then I have to consider refraining from these multi-role games. I have nothing against you as a person and I really feel bad if that is the feeling you have - if you're innocent that is; as a wolf you need to be prepared to take everything, you knew that?

But seriously, if you're honestlly feeling bad I will apologise immediately...

*Apologises*

And I can always drop out - it would be more or less easy to me as I'm not sure how much I can be online on the next Day - or the one after that. Really my intention is never to make someone feel personally bad.

Games are games and no one should be offended or left feeling wounded because of it.



Anyway, back to the game-related questions...

Nope. Read it as you like. But let me say your reading of it that way makes you look worse than better...

And why are you so interested in saving Lottie? I mean why do you especially ask for my reasons to suspect her?

Or why do you think my off-hand "counter-attack on Greenie"didn't loook good? Looking at how she's been treating me I think mine was even easier than any immediate retalitation so many hear tend to do. And at the same time I was trying to find out who would stretch their necks for her - if she was a wolf I think she could very well be - okay, I don't need to explain you these basics to you, do Í?

Rikae- about Mac's supposed hints... I'm assuming you're just pressuring/testing him? Because honestly. I love to look for Seer hints, and his previous post that you pointed to was pretty much a nothing so far as I'm concerned. I'm not saying you're suspicious looking, but you are being too paranoid.

Lalaith- you voted for Lottie? *shakes head* I thought you read more carefully than that.

How is my assault unfounded? She proposed something that would show the Wolves who the Seer is and get the Rangers occupied, thus minimizing the chances of a repeat of last night, for a benefit that is questionable (the Seer may not even be real). That's not difficult to understand. And you categorize my desire to lynch you as "strong"? Exactly how much have I attacked you? I mean- earlier today Mac was complaining that I wasn't going after anyone at all. You're majorly exaggerating.

Okay, now I'm going to go analyze his posts.
I love you for that, Meeper, but I'm afraid that's all I have nice to say about you, as you say some insane things in your post about me. Like, seriously. Way lame.

*rolls eyes*
1) It was obviously a joke to start with.
2) When first entering the game you don't have PLANS to lynch ANYONE!! Duh!! How could you possibly have someone singled out for lynching already? That point is just really ridiculous.

As a fairly well educated young man (heh) I find it hard to believe that this was an innocent slip, but can't figure out what it would mean if it's not, especially since player gender aren't tied to their character genders.
How can you possibly make something of an example? I was attempting to demonstrate a situation involving loyalties of lovers, so R&J was the first thing that popped to mind. But how can you fault me for which one died first when in fact in the play BOTH of them died, where as my example was about a situation demonstrating the loyalties of a lover who remains alive? It had nothing whatsoever to do with the plot of the play. I mean... this is a nonsensical thing to even bother commenting on.

So yeah- I'm not even going to say you're grasping at straws. That gives you too much credit. Seriously, shape it up.
