Yes, I did. I thought that some of his earlier posts were rather Wolf-ish, but like I've said, after re-reading the thread and the other WW games he was in, I see that he's just being Bom.

Things like this (post 11):

Quote:
. . . You know I was actually happy to be in this movie? But now I've half a mind to go postal on the lot of you! Killers and innocents alike, all dead . . . except for me of course. *sits a moment in utter glee*
and this (post 45):

Quote:
. . . Yet another victory for the inability to distinguish jokes made over the internet! Yay!

. . .

That's actually made me more suspicious, by the way. A wolf would be more watchful for potential accusations against himself, would he not?
...stuck out at me.

I see where you're comming from, and I also see why Nerwen is so suspicious. The posts you quote are not exactly "normal", true. However, would you write any such a thing as a wolf? Would you point on your wolvishness so obviously?

It is strange to me that you chose two posts that don't scream anything except for "Bom's weirdness" to me. I find his other posts more suspicious.

You said that "he's just being Bom". Yet is is also possible that he's just being a Bomwolf. What say thou?

Anyways, I want to hear from Bom - what does he think about all this, and what does he have to say in answer.

Oh, I'm still suspicious of him. Just not enough to be willing to vote for him. Yet.

I think, however, I'm going to bow out for a couple hours and let other people talk. For a Saturday, it's been awful quiet. It's been mostly G55, Nerwen, Shasta, and me.

Where is everyone? We don't want a repeat of yesterDay, do we?

edit: It was a throwaway mainly because I wasn't thinking when I made it. If I'd been smart and keep Boro around for another day, I wouldn't have voted for Bom to make a three-way tie; I'd have voted for Glirdy. RL got in the way of WW. That's not going to happen toDay, though.

Talk, people!

Do you currently have a better candidate (asking mostly out of curiosity)? Also, why "yet"? I think "any more" would be more appropriate.

No, I don't. BECAUSE NO ONE IS TALKING!!!!!

The 'yet' is because I haven't heard anything new from him. OR ANYONE ELSE!

I'm going to have to go, and may not be back before DL.

So–

++Eruhen.

Eruhen, I believe this is your first game, so sorry if this is all just you trying to get the hang of things. All the same, the amount of backtracking and seeming evasiveness in your recent posting really does not look good.

EDIT:X'd with Eruhen.

People think I'm weird! Yaaaay!

Sorry for not posting more (since everybody seems to want to hear from me): gaming kept my attention last night, and staying up playing said game made me sleep in far too long.

I find it interesting that Boromir88 lived through the night: if I were a wolf, I would've decided that the odds were good that he didn't have one (especially with his suspicions of yours truly) and killed him. But! That could equally mean that we have a cautious/manipulative wolf pack counting on us innocents doing their dirty work (or that they saw something in Inzilarond that they thought was more dangerous). So, no conclusion there, really

As for those asking for answers from me . . . well. I really can't think of a way to prove my innocence (maybe later, when my brain is working better), so all I can do is proclaim my innocence (something you lot are as likely to believe as that Gandalf was secretly Sauron).

EDIT: X'd with G55. "Not that ok?" Hmph!
EDIT2: Random additional thought.

Innocent or not, this made me laugh!

Interesting thought. Presuming that Boro is the Hunter, the wolves might consider him safe to leave. He's not the seer; if no-one touches him, he can't use his power. But is this ignoring the point that he's a potential known innocent? Probably better to kill off the hunter at the start of the game if you can, so it's more likely he'll have no idea who the wolves are and he'll hunt an innocent.

Yes, they might be counting on us lynching him, but this is pretty risky.

At this stage, chances of catching the Seer are not high. This means I see three options:

1. Boro is a wolf, playing us for fools.

2. Boro is innocent; wolves seriously believe Inzil is the seer.

3. Boro is innocent; wolves not sure about Inzil but, rightly or wrongly, choose to ignore Boro.

I believe option 3 suggests wolves who are not thinking very carefully. And I think it's the less likely option.

I don't see how option 1 would aid the wolves in any way. The real Hunter could appear at any moment.

Option 2 is the most likely. So we lynch one of Inzil's targets today. Bom or McCaber.

Actually, I'd say Bom's too new to have a fully-established style yet– for which reason I'm trying not to read too much of the fact that, in my opinion, he's playing differently from the way he did in his first two games. It's the kind of bouncy quality I've quite often seen in first time wolves– on the other hand, you'd think even an inexperienced wolf would know better than to point out "gifteds" on the thread– that's more of a cobbler's stunt. (Got Boro to reveal, though.)

Anyway I still don't understand why you're calling your vote a "throwaway", Eruhen. I mean, it basically was one, actually, but for a completely different reasons– i.e. that it was so unlikely to be effective.

EDIT:X'd with G55.
