TIG XCIV– WHere the Stars Are Strange (Game thread)

[Thinlómien]

I guess now is the time to do this, before people start voting:

I'm the acolyte.

I only learnt this last Night (and I have to say it has quite nicely ruined my day of supposed essay-writing.) I got to pick my side, and it wasn't really a choice. I picked the village - some people may know I always side with the goodies, but also I would have felt very unfair changing sides when the wolves already have an upper hand and I myself have played lousily as an ordo.

I'm basically like a weaker seer. I get to dream every Night, but there's 50% chance I dream of someone else than I wanted to.

Last Night I chose and succeeded to dream of Boro, who is a wolf.

Based on his going after Shasta so strongly toDay, I think he's 90% likely to be innocent.

(Also, just to venture a bit further, I wouldn't be surprised if Boro and Pom were packmates. If Pom is a wolf, then I doubt Lottie is one, since she just suggested Boro and Pom are wolves together. Greenie drawing so much attention to him would also be a little risky at this point, so my best guess is Boro-Pom-Sally or if not, then Boro-Pom-Pitch.)

HA! I knew it was worth it not to go to bed just yet. I'm inclined to believe Lommy, partly because I find Boro a much likelier wolf than Lommy, partly because I can't see why a Lommywolf would try something like that (unless it's purely for sport, but I doubt she'd do that).

It also fits with her wanting to discuss the Acolyte right out of the gate Day 1.

I'm also inclined to believe her, partly because I already was wondering about Boro, but also because I agree there's no reason for a Lommywolf to have taken such a risk.

Okay. I'm somewhere between jumping for joy and swearing right now. Jumping for joy, because, if true, Lommy has just made the day of the village. I'm pretty sure she's telling the truth here because I can't see her motivation of being otherwise - as Shasta said earlier today, if the acolyte, as it seems, took the side of the village tonight, we can technically afford to lose one innocent, so if Boro would be found out as such, it would be a suicide for her tomorrow. This also can't be a wolf plan decided during the night, because obviously the narration was up just today.

...and swearing, because a) I trusted Boro somewhat, so I can't even use anything I have said so far to defend myself and b) he has definitely managed to paint me as black as possible. Agh! If (as seems probable) you are a wolf, Boro, I hate you. Just to let you know.

x/ed with everyone after Greenie

[Pomegranate]

...And after Boro's confession. Yes, I hate you. But I guess this counts - even if I didn't have a full fight with you, I got to be special. Is this how you show me that I'm not counted as a first-timer anymore?

[Inziladun]

I have to say I'm disappointed, and a little uneasy, that Boro gave up so easily. Nog put on such a good show.

I was aware I could have waited longer to see more of you*, but I wanted to reveal before the voting starts. Of course, you are right that I should have waited if you mean that the potential early voters (Greenie, Pom and/or Pitch) are your fellow wolves.


* anyway there's three Days' worth of your posts to analyse so it shouldn't be a problem.

She was far too specific about the role for me to really do any show with fireworks. Eliot had it right, the world goes out in a whimper.

I cordially dislike Lommy and Inzil...everyone else. Love you all equally.

Umm...so, I think I've been waiting too long to do this:

++Lommy

[Thinlómien]

Love you too <3


++Boro

Hope you brought your Darth Waders to get through all the muck.

Great. Well, given that I was expecting I have to fight with you all night, I can now happily devote that time to reading your posts.

ps. Agan who's looking over my shoulder approves of the url.

[Pomegranate]

And agreed with Lommy - starting the analysing all over.

And before everyone decides to follow Lommy and Greenie in believing that I'm a wolf, please, look at the bigger picture instead of only looking at what Boro has said about me. I don't know what has driven him - I agree that it feels weird to say that the wolves are after you, even if it's just one wolf - but I am innocent and I can't say it any clearer than that. I know it looks bad, but what can I do? I can't even defend myself since it's not something I have done but something the wolf has said about me.

And after that has been said, I will, as I said, start analysing all over.

I don't think I said I believe you're a wolf, but this jumpiness certainly doesn't make me think otherwise! Also, Boro and Lommy? Stop being so freaking cute.

[Pomegranate]

Greenie: You said I had a connection with Boro, and while looking at your analysis, I could see where that came from. I was thinking to myself that if Boro will end up being a wolf, I'm going to be seriously annoyed, because he has painted me black, and right after that comes this. I was just thinking that you had drawn the same conclusions already.

[Pitchwife]

Great, I can actually vote early and go to sleep before midnight!

++Boro

For everybody to chew on in the meantime, I think Sally's ominous post #446 was to lay the ground for a fake reveal as the Acolyte. Note how she speaks of "the ordos" like she isn't one herself, and see also my #390 yesterDay which she hasn't answered. She's talked a lot about the role, not all of it making sense.

Just a note: the narration is not meant to indicate the Acolyte's choice in either direction.

Wonderfully enough, her reveal was my plan. Not that I knew it would be her, of course, but I'd intended to suggest that the acolyte come out and play. Also, and more importantly, I got a couple of lovely reactions without even having to share my plan with the rest of the group. Always a nice bonus.

He was too busy snuggling up to me and my brains.

Actually, I agree. Does anyone think this is maybe a bit too easy? Lommie's suddenly the Acolyte (and right, I might add, as I'm beginning to properly suspect her), Boro's suddenly a confirmed wolf, but neither was true until last Night?

If Lommie is the Acolyte, what happened to Eru? I'll be quite cross if that was a modfire and Nerwen simply refused to tell us.

Rhythm, my dear sir. I've got rhythm, I've got music, I've got no role, who could ask for anything more, etc. Also, my sincere apologies. I must have missed your question. I'll respond to it shortly.

You disgust me. I'll consider loving you (tender?) again only after you're dead.

And so, it is with a heavy heart and a full head that I must vote.

++he who has crushed my heart and cracked my cranium (Boro)


Or, as they say in Limerick....

It seems my beloved sweet prince
Deceived me with one dog-eyed glimpse
But is this all true?
Or does Lommie lie too?
The mere thought is making me tense

[Boromir88]

heh Inzil's link is perhaps the best occurance of the day.

sally, don't be fooled, because he's as destructive as a puppy as I am when I'm furry

Bahh the terror

And more terror

Terminate.

Finish him.

Just a minor, technical note that Lommy has yet to be "confirmed".

which is actually an answer to G55. If he's truly mixing them up, that would be a point for sally, with G55 being innocent.

And then there's all the posts against Shasta. I don't really know what to think about it - it seems a little too serious to be a wolf-on-wolf, but would it be better being a wolf-on-innocent, with (until today) Shasta being the more probable to go first? I don't know.

Looking at this? I don't know. I think that since Boro confused sally and G55 it could mean that sally's innocent. In general he talks only a little about any of us. He states some kind of a pre-attack for both Pitch and Lottie (as in, I have something against this person, will clarify later), which in Pitch's case turns out to be the rant-post he didn't like (he didn't continue pursuing him after saying that) and with Lottie it just dies out.

I think it's a real stretch to say that quote from Boro is a point for Sally's innocence. Looks to me more like Boro was merely using a "fex" there.

As for Shasta, like I said, there are three Spies left, and the odds are pretty well in favor of seeing some wolf-on-wolf. I won't give people an automatic all-clear just because they said something negative about Nog (or Boro), and vice-versa.

I'll bring over my three cats and we'll really see some fur fly.

[Pitchwife]

What?

If that is true, what the heck was Sally's #446 about?

You dreamed he's a wolf and you think he's innocent? What the - ?

I would guess she meant Shasta was likely to be innocent, but I wouldn't go that far personally.

What, no conspiracy theories this time? Bleh, what a letdown.

She means Shasta looks innocent, not me.

Actually, no - like I said, I only learnt I was the acolyte last Night.

Well hats off to you for convincing me of your innocence for some time.

You're right, sorry.
