WW LXXX: It's About Time!

[Pitchwife]

Anybody who consumes mate at this time of day must preparing for Nightly activities. Highly suspicious!

For me, it's time to prepare for my rendezvous with the bedbugs, so...

Kidding aside, Agan's posts apart from the early joke thing look fair enough - active and speaking her mind, as far as I can tell. Same for Greenie's later posts since her comeback.
The only other person who has really stuck out for me toDay is Fea, and at the moment it looks like she'll get my vote. Never mind the cobbler-hint theory, but she's made three rather conspicuous posts which are so content-free and studiedly inscrutable that she might as well be a submarine; plus she elaborately explained her early posting (in reaction to Agan's 'suspicion', which didn't look very serious to me), which seems over-defensive. So that's my best bet for toDay:

Good Night.

When I get the chance, I will.

Only when there are people around to banter with.

Agan, Greenie, Boro, Pitchie, and Sally look pretty normal. No one else jumped out at me as noteworthy...my joke about voting Zil is beginning to look more plausible.

Other than that, I don't have much to say, and I have to go soon. I'll be back in a couple hours or so.

Aaaand I'm back! My internet is being rubbish but I'll read up the best I can and be back soon.



ETA: x'd with Agan. Thanks, love. I was at work, by the way.

After reading, I don't see Pitch voicing any particular suspicion of Fea, so for him to say that she's the only one that stuck out to him seems odd to me. Especially after Greenie's vote. I'm not sure that a Pitch-wolf would be clumsy enough to bandwagon so shamelessly, but it's all I have to go on so far. Deadline is in four and a half hours or so, correct? I'm really bad with timezones.

Um, honey, I think it's in like an hour and fifteen minutes.

Oh dear. Okay, so that's 7pm for me. Fair enough, I can make that.

But see both of those hints (Fea and Agan's "I'm a Wolf" and Skip's "someone do something suspicious") would be disregarded by a cobbler/wolf just as easily as we are disregarding them as reasons for suspicious, and therefore a wolf/cobbler wouldn't bother trying. Since Fea and Agan out right saying they're wolves would just be taken as a joke by most people, why would the cobbler think it was hint, it's too out in the open to be taken seriously. And Skip's 'someone act suspicious please' is something that someone says at least once every game, it's just a common little phrase we say sometimes, and therefore a wolf wouldn't take that as a cobbler hint either.

Besides, with a seer and ranger around that can do more harm than a cobbler can do good, I doubt the wolves care enough about them to risk hinting. Cobbler's only usually come in handy for the wolves at end game when they can swing the votes for a win, until then, since they don't know each other, they can't be a lot of help to them and are therefore not worth the risk of hinting.

Lottie does just banter a lot at the beginning, and she was around early enough that it made sense for her to do just that, if she was still bantering when everyone else had turned serious, then that would be strange, but that wasn't the case here.


I'll be back in a bit.

x'ed with sally and shasta, and now I'm confused about the DL

Interestingly enough, I became really tired. Now I'm probably just going to vote and when I go to bed I'll lie there staring at the roof, my mind racing. (If that happens I'll probably just come back. )

Anyway even though we've managed to avoid the quiet/loud discussion thus far, I'm going to throw in my two cents.

This is a small village. It means it's going to be much quieter than in the bigger games. While it makes it easier to pay attention to everybody, it also means we run out of loud players faster. I seem to remember talking to some of you about why I don't like quiet players, but to recap: it's unfair to everybody. I've been innocent in a game where a quiet wolf led the wolves to victory because no one paid attention to them, but I've also been a wolf in a game where the seer who had barely 10 posts on day 4 outed half my pack, myself included. Not fun. Thus, in lack of a real suspect, I think I'm going to vote for either sally or EW.

I'm too lazy to make a real list, but I'm going to keep an eye on our European males (Pitch, skip, Eomer, and yes I think you can count Greenie among them ). I'm not entirely happy about what is possibly going to turn into a Feawagon because 1) it's day 1 and 2) she's Fea, so it's pretty much impossible to tell her role so early. Personally I just don't see saying "I'm a wolf!" as a sufficient reason to lynch somebody.

Sorry hun but I know I'm going to get frustrated later on if you top the post count with half your posts being jokes.

You say 'toDay' like I don't stand out all the time. Saying that I stand out is like saying that my name is Fea. We already know this to be true.

Just because you can't read the alphabet doesn't mean those squiggly lines and dots don't tell a story, dear. I've already determined the trustworthiness of at least one player based on those three conspicuous posts. And I say trustworthiness in a, "Yes I said I'm a wolf, but only because being an ordo is boring," sort of way. I have no proof, but I have a conditional hunch.

I'm not over-defensive, I'm just elaborate. You can really expect nothing else of somebody that's so well known for being 'The Beautiful Lady Without Mercy' that I was granted a second personal title just to broadcast it to people who might not have gotten the original memo.

I mean really, dear, saying I stand out is like calling the sky blue and pretending that's abnormal.

Still, I'm going to reserve the right not to fault you for it.

My list currently looks like

Probably Not Evil:

Pitch
Agan
Vanilwa
Boro

Everyone Else:

Probably Evil
