Werewolf XCVII: Werewolves in the Westfold Game Thread

[Coppermirror]

Mini summary of posts thus far:

Kitanna: Sad about Menel's death.
Coppermirror: Sad about Menel's death, says we only have 2 DAYS to catch a wolf in and must be alert, wants to know where satansaloser2005 and Shastanis Althreduin were last night. Also why she can't look at Nerwen's horses more closely.
Nessa Telrunya: Shocked to find Menel's dead body. It was a hard sight even for a healer.
Kitanna: Is sure that none of the villagers will be lazing around. Has to leave to go to work.
Inziladun: Asks Coppermirror if she gave a pre-emptive defence.
Coppermirror: Says no. Wishes the villagers luck, and leaves to sleep.
Inziladun: Says that Coppermirror seems to be distancing herself from the wolves. Says it's a hindrance that the game has only one Gifted, but that on the upside there's a higher chance of suspicious behaviour actually belonging to wolves rather than Gifted.
Nessa Telrunya: Agrees about the chances, and says that another upside is that everyone will be on their toes and won't get complacent/fail to give their thoughts/bandwagon.
Inziladun: Smaller villages make it harder for submarines to stay low. Asks for volunteers to be the sub-hunter.
Shastanis Althreduin: Is willing to be the sub-hunter and has done it before. Dances a jig. Says that satansaloser2005 will take all the best (music/dance?) pieces if he doesn't hurry.
satansaloser2005: Is standing right there and had no idea the game had started until now.
Inziladun: Shastanis Althreduin needs to keep above water in order to keep the job. Something about Kitanna seems a bit off, but "it's really a thin thing." Will have to vote in about 3 hours and more people showing up would be helpful.
Galadriel55: Shocked about Menel's death. Will be back in a few hours.
satansaloser2005: Jokingly accuses Nessa. Has no idea and hopes we'll lynch a wolf through dumb luck.
Nerwen: Is indeed a horse trader of doubtful integrity...

They weren't many posts to summarise, alas, but I wanted to do it anyway, because in a village this size we've got to try to avoid writing off DAY 1 having meaningful content. I can't say that anyone looks very suspicious here, and that's a problem. Maybe things will pick up once voting starts.

What's a sub-hunter? Someone who hunts submarines (quiet players), maybe? Interesting that there's a custom of appointing someone to do that, if so.

Yep. I wanted to say "good luck" to everyone at first, but, well, with three wolves amongst the ten I don't want to wish them luck too. I don't want newbie inexperience/enthusiasm to make me look suspicious, but on the other hand, with only two days for us to catch a werewolf in, I don't think I can afford not to pursue a louder strategy. And for the record I'm a she.

Oh dear...Do we need to call for the village healer? I don't think I can fix up bites on people with glue the way I can fix up toys.

That's pretty much it. There's no custom involved, though. There are players who are known for singling out quiet ones, but that's all.

All right then. Thanks for the clarification on both matters.

[Kitanna]

Twenty posts? Oh sadness, let's see what we have here. Coppermirror and Zil have said alot, looks like at a quick scan. Doesn't seem like much has happened yet though. Off and reading.

[Inziladun]

I'm going to need to vote pretty soon. 0500 hours comes early, and I may or may not be able to make it back before DL.

Not much in the way of activity to key in on, thus far.

I don't want to get after the submarines just yet, since I am voting awfully early, and it's possible some might not realize the game is on now.

Coppermirror did cause a bit of an eyebrow raise, but at any rate I can't bring myself to vote a first-timer on Day 1.

Kit still gives some ill-defined feeling of unease, but that's all.

I guess I could vote Shasta or Sally for...being Shasta and Sally.

x/d with Kit

I'd like a reason. I've said almost nothing.

Just the feel of the first couple of posts. Like I said, it's pretty thin.

[Inziladun]

Ok. I do need to go to bed, but I'm going to take a chance and not vote yet.

With luck, I should be able to get back for a quick vote before DL.

Well, I could vote you, because I don't like you either. But I won't, because that wouldn't be how the game is supposed to be played.

In any case, Sally, dear, that was a horrible attempt at anything resembling rhyme-scheme. Let me think...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

That's a good point, but I do have to dock you a few points for considering voting someone who hasn't shown up. Is Eomer even aware the game's started?

It's Eomer, he knows.

No idea. I always check the Downs on my phone and would have missed toDay had I not been looking at Arda Cup results (which I still refuse to discuss, thank you). I may want to be a baton in his side, but I don't think I'll actually follow through. It wouldn't be fair.


EDIT: x'd with Kit. And now I feel like I'm being watched....

It isn't? Well, bother. Maybe I should rethink my strategy.

That was an attempt at getting the crowd's attention. And....well, it worked, but not in the way I hoped. I'll compose a proper song come the morrow, my pet, I promise.
