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

[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.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Well, that makes me feel a little better about myself. I was a little disheartened after Legate ended up not a wolf.

++Boro

Although if Lommy didn't find out she was the acolyte until last Night, that would mean she didn't kill Eruhen, which means it was a modkill after all. I'm sure my shining star was chortling to herself in glee as I took her narration and proceeded to run with it off the nearest cliff, assumption-wise.

I must admit I had more or less forgotten about Lottie for the last two Days (sorry dear), but I don't like this.

That was what I understood the post to mean. Looking at it again, I guess I can see how it could mean something else, but I'd initially thought "not this game" and I still do think that's what Boro was hinting at.

Again, Pom feels too cautious and eager to please to me.

I'd say most probably you just had to figure out a reason to suspect Legate, so that you wouldn't seem you're just following others. But tell us, what were you thinking?

Just because someone is logical doesn't mean he's innocent. I'd read his posts throughout the game as making sense and seeming rather genuine, but looking at the rest of the innocents, he was still one of the most wolf-like.

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.)

I agree with you about Pom (obviously), and I could see either Pitch or Sally being wolves. I was already a bit wary of Pitch, so I'll go take a closer look at Sally.

Edit: xed with Shasta

Lottie: So clarifying what I suspected about Lommy was to you "playing careful"? And yes, wolves can be logical, but genuine would for me mean something definitely positive.

He seemed more genuine than Legate did, specifically, but not necessarily more genuine than most of the rest of the village. I use genuine in a relative sense, not as a definitive proof of innocence.

I don't think that's so bad. Her 'horrible idea' I thought meant a giant mass lynching of everyone not certifiably innocent, and 'the ordos' demands' just fit the limerick syllables better than something like 'our demands'.

Or, as they say in Limerick....

I do believe I have a plan
That might meet the ordos' demands
But I rather fear
That no one will hear
Could I get a show of your hands?

Final words and testament, please? (Only read what is addressed to you please. Thank you kindly).

To Lommy: I have nothing to say to you.

To Inzil: I have nothing to say to you.

To Pitch: watch out with those objection/scolding posts, if you didn't have me on your side, I would have lynched you for it.

To sally: We share so much appreciation for zombie shows it was perfect sense and a privilege to spy with you again.

To Greenie:

- suspects Shasta based on his reaction to his (Boro's) vote, says it's common knowledge he has no problem with busing his fellows (a hilarious comment if he's a wolf, btw!); says there's an acolyte-focus similarity between Nog and Shasta

That was hilarious, right? Especially since we had such a good laugh about it last night. RIP Nogspy.

To Pom: Nice to see you pick up on the art of back-stabbing your partner very well. I'm not going to hold it against you. Discard the dead weight and live to fight another day.

To Lottie: Now that Lom's joined the innocent count, you won't have to run through a city in heels to make that last second vote to save me.

To Shasta: Yep. Tried bussing you exactly as I did to Nog. Forgive me mate.

To the Priestess: For Gondor!

[Thinlómien]

Going to sleep now. I will be back well before the DL, and intend to look at Boro's posts and maybe others' posts about him too. That doesn't mean someone else couldn't do it, too.

Nothing? Well, fine then. This is for you.

[Pomegranate]

Okay, Lottie, seriously. That's not relative sense in that sentence, whatever it is. If you meant it that way, it's barely confusing. And you're still seeming the most careful player there is in this game (maybe alongside Greenie), so it's funny you're accusing me of that.

Anyways, it's my time to go to sleep and tomorrow morning for once I have school so I can't be too much around. So here we go

++Boro

I'll be looking at Boro's posts a bit before going but I can't promise anything too deep just now.

[Pomegranate]

This tool longer than I thought it did. Anyways, I looked through Boro's posts for mentions on any of the people that are left (not on Lommy and Inzil, but the ones that are not confirmed). I think Greenie mentioned everything he said about myself.

Greenie: He talks about Greenie twice. Once because of a sharp point she made on day one, stating he doesn't want to see her lynched. Second time when he didn't like her and Legate's jumping against Eonwe's strong post about Nog.

Pitch: Does not like his rant about the uselessness of the Bom- lynch. Later agrees that his point was valid, but that the rant was still annoying.

Lottie: Mentions her once, saying he has something against her and Lommy, and then forgets her.

sally: nothing. Or, well, there's this

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.

Agh. I'm too tired to understand more about this, and to be honest, all these changes-of-view (first with Legate not being a wolf after all, now with Boro being one) are exhausting me. Good night, everyone! This time, for real.
