WW LXXXIX: The Terror of Tol Fuin

Nog, just because someone posts regularly/in a way you fancy doesn't mean they're innocent. I understand your desire to keep good posters around, but I can think of many games where that logic (or the reverse, for that matter) cost the innocents a victory. Innocence or guilt is what matters, not how pretty your posts are.

That's not actually what I'm saying.

The wolves need to lie, right? The goodies can speak true, right?

Now find out a wolf and a baddie amongst the following personas:

1) a baddie who says nothing
2) a goodie who says nothing
3) a baddie who talks a lot and argues a lot - and needs to lie most of the time
4) a goodie that talks a lot and argues a lot - and can be true all the time (even if s/he can err)

It's clear getting the baddie of character 1) is just a random chance (and a poor one at that as people too seldom agree to lynch a submarine player - thus creating the place for the wolves to win in unsportsmanlike style.)

Also a goodie of type b) just make this game harder for us other gooidies (so they should be regarded as traitors I'd say if I'd be harsher, but as the agreeable person I am, I just call them sissies).

But a baddie of type 3) can be caught with logic, argumentation, you name it! And even if there are great risks in finding out a goodie of type 4) from a baddie of type 3) - that pocess is something we call playing werewolf. Anyone could cast random votes with their dices at home alone if that was fun...

So therefore whehter Kitanna is good or bad is a lesser thing toDay as there is no clear evidence she is bad - as she makes cases she can be scrutinised by them later - unlike those who just "hey, need to hunt some werewolf, plese you others post, bye".

Heh, I'm feeling nostalgic. I haven't made this rant in years (really Mith, you must believe me - I think I was this way all the time when we used to play a many games a long time ago - maybe it's you who are bringing this reaction from me after a long time? ). And I'm actually not too keen to continue pressing it. But just as answer to you Sally; the issue is more complicated...

Funny, I thought you would have played that many games you would have seen all that Sally?

The only hunch I've got so far is an ickle little one about Galadriel, and I don't want to lynch a player on their first Day 1 ever. That just seems kind of harsh. I've been re-reading, looking for anything else that jumps out at me. It's been quiet, though. *grump*

Compassion gets you nowhere in Werewolf.
