WW: LXXXVIII - Trouble in the Misty Mountains: Game Thread

[Bom Tombadillo]

Oh no, we're all going to die, hum-de-dum.

Nerwen looks suspicious. Not for any particular reason, just for existing.
Nogrod clearly must die. That's going to be hard, since he's not here.
Legate and Inziladun are doubly suspicious for both being among both the first three posters and the first three on the list of the living (who as we all know are always wolves).
The Elf-warrior is clearly in league with the wolves. How do I know this, you ask? Simple. His name starts with a T. T is the 19th letter of the alphabet. There are three wolves. 19+3 = 22. W is the 22nd letter of the alphabet - W as in Wolf. Therefore, he must die. Clearly, my reasoning is flawless.
Sally makes reference to something called "Oregon Trail." Wolf-code, perhaps?*
*Yes, I know what it is.
Boro seems to be attempting to downplay the deadliness of the wolves. Trying to get us to lower our guard?
Azura and Laeko_Rundalis? I've never seen them before. Clearly wolves.
Greenie, Kath and Kitanna are guilty for not having posted yet.
The fact that myself, G55 and Pitchwife mentioned that we did not have our roles yet is a clear indicator that we collectively predicted the future declaration that anybody who was not sent a role PM was an ordo and were trying to establish ourselves clearly as such.

Simple. We will run away, our lives again like the fairy tale of old, and we shall rid ourselves of this predicament and be free to be together forever. What say you, my love?

Not meaning to preempt Boro's reply, but last time I looked, there were no lovers in this game (and thank Goddess for small favours). What are you up to, my dear?

It's all the guide's fault? How convenient - and I was thinking we had to catch Werewolves.
Seriously, IC accusations of NPC's are fine for first posts, but harping on about it once people have begun to talk makes me raise an eyebrow.

Where was he attempting to do any such thing? You could have said that of Legate's speculation about wolves being less likely to vote W-on-W, if he was serious about it (which I doubt); if anything, Boro argued against that.
No comments on the rest of your list, which is just early D1 banter, but this sticks out as the only suspicion with something approaching a reason behind it.

[satansaloser2005]

Goddess? Oh, goodness! What all did they do to Shasta?

[Laeko_Randalis]

Laeko looked at the guide's remains, and noticed the broken wheels. "If it, or they, broke our wheels, then they wish to make victims of us all. If they only took out the guide, then they are cowards who cannot hope to match us in open combat. Or at least," he added, "not yet."

"The question, then, is who, or what, did this?"

Will the three live werewolves please stand up?


I regret nothing.



So where are the rest of you people? Even Nerwen showed up already.

And yet again somebody completely misses the fact that I was joking. It's early in Day 1 yet, I'm hardly going to do anything but joke.

Ooh! Me! Me!

Waiiiit . . . aw, cheesesticks. You got me.

My guess is a reference to a story and sally is anticipating I recognized the reference, to in someway help her form an opinion.

I think I know the reference, Game of Thrones? And she better not be acting like Sansa. How I do not like that girl, although to give her a princely "As you wish" response, I will have to wait and see what her reasons are...at this point it could be, the long lull means she misses one of her princes, or she plans to nomnom soon.

Whatever the intentions, I don't plan on voting sally, unless she wants to stand up to her very own question of asking the 3 wolves to stand.

Well, I took that as a paraphrase from a book I've recently read. I really had no point to it, other than I thought the deadliness of nature is ironically humorous.

I know enough by now to know you're always joking on Day 1. But that is itself the point. No matter what, you're going to use your jokes as a shield. So, really, I don't think Pitch was missing the point. I will grant that your jokes and reasons, I did actually laugh at this time.

[satansaloser2005]

My sweet prince, I've simply missed you. Don't you trust me?

I remember the Days when we were happy and together, and the wolves couldn't threaten us. They were good Days, and I wish we could return to them. That's all.

And yes, don't vote me. Innocent!Sally is innocent, and that would be a bad move.


So....where are Kath and Greenie? Shouldn't the lovely ladies be around by now?

Oh, I see. The first post was all right, but mentioning the guide IC in response to another's comment is "harping". You learn something new every day.

And since the bit about "It's our job to get the baddies!" is known to be a Captain Obvious wolf-tactic to buddy up with the village, Pitch is now on the radar.

Technically, it's the "boss" and not the "guide" who's been killed. Just sayin'.

x/d with Sally and Pitch

Shield? A shield for what? I promise I have nothing to hide. But it's either joke or say nothing (or make obvious observations about the rules), and joking is more interesting.

Although I suppose my jokes are a bit more than that - I've noticed that those who overreact to them tend to have something to hide. *cough*Pitchwife*cough*

EDIT: x-ed with Pitchie and Inziladun. All right, I see your reasoning (though I'm still suspicious of you for other reasons). Still, as I said, I rarely do anything but joke this early in the game.

[Kath]

So guess what? I made it!

Participation warning - I'm at school til 5, moving house, and in bed by 11. So my level of participation will be about normal! But if I haven't voted by 11 it's safe to say I've forgotten and won't return.

I think I've played with nearly everyone on the list before except the two newbies. Can say straight up that I'm almost definitely not voting for either of them. Unless one of them pulls a Fea and replies to sally's comment with 'Hey yeah I'm a wolf!' anyway - I want to see them play.

Do you know I so rarely make it here this early I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. Too early for my usual lists ... unless I did a Bom style one and tbh where's the point?

Legate is right about the numbers being low. So much depends on the events of toDay and toNight though as to whether the level affects us positively or negatively. If we get a wolf toDay and they kill an ordo rather than a Gifted, or the Ranger pulls off a protection, toNight then the numbers even out better. Two ordos go ... not so great. Captain Obvious statement I guess though.

Be my guest. At least you're suspecting somebody now.

Bom, which "other reasons"?

Me too.

Good point. So what is it with you playing Sansa and the Fool with Boro?
(And OT, doesn't being threatened by wolves make you more like a Lannister?)

[A Little Green]

Only now back home after a dreadful day at work, and currently feeling really really sick, so don't expect coherence. I feel like going straight to bed but I guess I'd better not..

A few things stand out, at a half-feverish reading. First, both Bom and Sally are making a show of being innocent and having nothing to hide - statements that make me raise my hackles, banter or no. Second, I don't know if it's just because my head's more messed up than usual that I can't read properly or what, but I have trouble deciphering whether what people post is banter or serious stuff or something in between. Third, it's been ridiculously quiet, but since I'm myself here only now I can hardly make a complaint about that.


EDIT: x-ed with Kath... wait - Kath??

On the other hand, in a smaller village, too "nice" relationships between players are harder to hide. Or too blatantly wolf-on-wolf ones, in fact. So - err - I kind of lost the thread of what I was saying, but I hope someone can catch something of what I was trying to say.

Oh, I did get that the rest of your list was joking; but this was your only comment on anybody that wasn't meta or just plain nonsense, but based on something the other person had allegedly said (and hadn't); it may have been a joke, or it may have been something to build on later, as long as nobody checked. Without being able to look into your head, how am I supposed to know?
