Hello everyone. I'm so sorry, I didn't remember that we were starting. This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada and I am heading out now to travel to see some family I haven't seen in about 15 years. I'm not going to have access to the internet at all, but I will be only gone for a day so I should only miss the first little bit of Day 2, and be here for most of the rest of it. So sorry!!

Hey guys, I'm here. Sorry I'm late. I'll catch up on the first two pages shortly.
Edit: Or Day's over. x_x Shutting up.

With Kit’s death and Legate’s subsequent lynching, Agan didn’t feel particularly safe in her home. She barricaded her doors and windows and sat in her kitchen with a giant meat cleaver.
Sometime during her vigilant watch Agan slipped off to sleep, the meat cleaver clattering to the floor. The wolves found her asleep at her kitchen table, head down and snoring. “Aw, she looks so sweet,” one whispered to her partners. “Do we have to do this?” “Yes!” the other two hissed in unison. “I just think maybe we could keep her alive,” the wolf continued. “We are not in Sleepy Hollow to make nice,” the largest of the three growled. “Now grab that big knife so if she wakes up she can’t get to it.” Agan came to from her nap to find three furry fiends in her home. She reached for her cleaver, only to find of the wolves had it. Not wanting to be ripped apart like the barkeep the night before, Agan saw a small opening between to of the wolves and darted through it. She knocked her chair into one of the wolves in the process. She made it to her front door before one of the wolves caught her by the hair. In the moonlight she saw the flash of the meat cleaver before it was brought down on her. ~*~*~ The next morning the village found Agan’s scalp nailed to her front door. The rest of her body had been left out for the crows.

I mean, you'd think the person who lynched the Ranger on Day One would be pretty safe on Night Two. Did they think Agan was the Seer, who had dreamed an innocent Zil? Or is this a bluff? Or something else?

Aganzir
Tally: Inzil – Mac Mac – Shasta Sally – Inzil Rikae – Inzil (2) McCaber – Legate #53 Opening banter. #57 Banter. Asks if there is a Wildcard. Suggests Mac and Mc might be fellows, as "blatant wolf-on-wolfing" is something she has seen Mac do before, is "fairly okay" with Zil, Rikae and Legate, but notes that she has only skimmed the thread after McCaber's vote (on Legate.) Comment: could the question about the Wildcard have led the wolves to believe Agan herself had this role? Far-fetched, perhaps- but gifteds do sometimes give themselves away in this manner. #59 Gives current tally. Disagrees with Greenie's suspicion of Legate, describes her as "too trigger-happy" about him and her reaction to the "Mac-McC-Inzil-Legate camp" as "more off than the thing itself", but also notes that "there's nothing out of the ordinary in this suspicion and it probably has more to do with our ways of thinking than our roles". Comment: this may have looked like a Seer stressing that her suspicion was not the result of an actual dream. #60 Suspicious of the way Sally phrased her vote-post. Does not want to vote for Zil or Legate. Might vote Mac, Shasta, Greenie or Sally. #61 Notes that probably the only further voters will be herself, Legate and Greenie. Tally: Inzil – Mac Mac – Shasta Sally – Inzil Rikae – Inzil (2) McCaber – Legate Greenie -- Legate (2) #63 Votes Legate. "Because I like Inzil better." #64 Regrets the vote because she and Legate "could have negotiated a Mac-Shasta lynch". Asks if she can retract. Comments: if Mac or Shasta is a wolf, this might have been alarming to the wolves, coming almost out of the blue as it does #66 Explains that she had believed her vote was the only way to save Inzil, with whom she had most wanted to play; adds that she "completely forgot" what she had said about the other players. #68 Asked by Greenie, "Why Mac?", replies, "Why not? Why Shasta? Why not? I don't have an opinion about them so might as well take my chances!" #69 Tells Legate she hopes he is a wolf, but seems pessimistic. #71 Replying to Legate's "But seriously???", says, "I said I was stupid and sorry!" Adds (correctly) that this will look "hilarious" to people reading the thread later. #74 Thinks Legate is innocent. #77 Replying to Legate, who points out that she "should have realised that before voting", says, "I did! I said I didn't want to lynch you! But I also didn't want to lynch Inzil!" Comments: Could the wolves have thought that here was a Seer focussed on saving her dreamed innocent to the exclusion of all else? It seems as likely as anything- however, as I originally suggested, it is also possible that this is a bluff (I.e to take the heat off a beleaguered Zilwolf.) As you see, the only explanations I can come up with are "they thought she was the Seer" and "they wanted us to think they thought she was the Seer" and, perhaps, "they thought she was the Wildcard". There may be others, but the thing is, they'd need a really good reason to kill her, under the circumstances.

I have to say too that Nerwen's above has a feel of a wolf saying, 'Gosh, how did that happen? Like I said,just a feeling. Where did the Legate-wagon come from, anyway? I knew my vote would get me some of my own, but I was surprised to see he got lynched. Although I'm pretty certain there's a wolf who voted me, odds are there's at least one who went for Legate. It narrows the possibilities at least that one on each bandwagon is gone. Mac not taking the bait and attacking me, instead casting an easy vote for Shasta does not help him. x/d with Nerwen

It seems to me that they must have thought she was the seer - I had that thought myself. That, of course, would make Inzil look much better.
But in that case, why is Inzil acting so weird and defensive now? I thought Nerwen's "bluff" theory was far-fetched, but now that I see his reaction, I'm entertaining the possibility. Now, about yesterday's Legate-wagon - I didn't realize how quickly things could get out of hand in such a small village, either. But really, did you have to go and lynch someone with such a good class participation grade, let alone the ranger!? Last Night I was thinking there had to be a wolvish influence in such a messed up wagon, perhaps an attempt to save Inzil by either Greenie or a cleverly bluffing Agan. With Agan ruled out, I really would like to take a look at Greenie toDay. Her case against Legate seemed kind of trumped-up, and then she dismisses Inzil with: Quote:
Quote:
I have a feeling I might be too fixated on the idea of an Inzilwolf and possible accomplices, though - I'm going to have to look more closely at others. I don't agree with McCaber's trust of quiet ones: I've seen many a quiet wolf and even been one. I certainly hope we hear plenty from Wilwa and Shasta toDay. Also, something about Mac's "perky" attitude reminds me of times he's been a wolf before. Last edited by Rikae; 10-12-2014 at 08:02 AM. Reason: X'd with Nerwen |

Agan, of all people? Really?
Regarding the possibility of Agan bluffing as seer, I could see her buddying up to Dun for a Day had she dreamt him a wolf. After all, she's a hot candidate for Night kills (as we've just seen), so throwing him off her scent could buy her an extra dream or two so she could....I don't know, man, it's Agan. Frankly, my first suspicions would not have been that she was the seer; she defended Dun to the extreme, sure, but the manner in which she did it does not cry seer to me. I think she was going from what little evidence she had and wanted to keep Dun around because, as she said, she wanted to play with him. Speaking of which, good show, village. Way to steamroll yet another ranger for essentially no reason. *grumbles* Poor Legate. Where the heck did that come from? Mistress Kit, could we perhaps get a definitive yea or nay on the wildcard? I'd just like to be able to get a crystal picture of our situation. No more to say at the moment, as I've a big project to complete today. Fair warning that I will probably be pretty quiet until late this evening, but I'll slip in when I can.

As a bluff, it doesn't really make that much sense. Why would the wolves feel the need to base their kill on protecting Inzil rather than hunting the seer? Sure, he came under fire, but day one suspicions are often short-lived. It would take a panicky wolf, a panicky pack, to do that, but that's just how Inzil is coming off - panicky. |

I wonder why we have the same people in the forefront two Days in a row. A couple of wolves at least are lurking in the background out of the fray.

Just returned home, should be around periodically for several hours, as I said it is Thanksgiving so my family time is going to have to take precedence over this, but I will do my best. The deadline for me is rather early in the morning so I'll have to vote fairly early in the Day

Also, it took me way too long to figure out who Algae was supposed to be. Any reason Greenie isn't an acceptable nickname anymore, or was it all a plot to mess with my mind?

Well, this Day One was certainly terrible, even by Day One standards. Too few people online at the deadline, otherwise we might have prevented this.
Why Aganzir? Her mistake-vote made her look very innocent, I think. Wolves don't panic like that when voting one innocent over the other. Maybe some people were going to suspect her, but I doubt it. There was no way she was going to be the seer either, though I keep reading about that. If Aganseer had dreamt of Legate, her mess-up would have been incredible, and if she dreamt of an ordo-Inzil, she would have been more subtle about saving him. For a seer, it's better to have a known-to-you innocent die than to risk your own life by sticking out like that. I don't see how her death makes Inzil look neither better nor worse, to be honest.

Well, alright, done that then. There really wasn't much that stood out in particular - the only thing I managed to dig up out of the banter-fest that was Day 1 was an interesting point Greenie (I refuse to call her algae on the grounds that algae is gross and slimy and Greenie is neither one of these things) brought up regarding Rikae's views on McCaber...
Nah, it's probably nothing.

Well, if the wolves thought Agan was the Seer and had dreamed Inzil, they either consider her completely dishonourable or didn't read the thread very carefully. Agan only found out the game had started two hours before deadline yesterDay, so unless she lied about that, there's no way she could have dreamed anybody. Mind you, they might still have thought she was the Seer on some other grounds, but as to what those might be, I've no idea. Or else they just figured that her voting mistake would make her look very innocent and decided to be rid of her for that reason? Then again, targeting anyone but a potential Seer doesn't really make sense at this stage so I don't know.

Right kiddos, it's outrageously late here so I need to head to bed. I'll be back some hours before deadline to post more and vote.

Pretty much. I couldn't see voting anyone but him or Cab, and I wanted to see how Mac and others would react.

As for my posts on Cab, I can't see how it would be unclear to any honest reader: I was surprised by Inzil & Legate's suspicion which seemed disproportionate, and then made a guess as to what they meant: something I had noticed but didn't consider particularly significant myself. What would be the point of sneakily casting suspicion on someone who was, at that point, the most suspected anyway? |

Alright, I pretty much just have the time to vote now and then won't be able to make it back on, as I said the DL is quite early in the morning for me. If I'm alive for Day 3 it will no longer be a holiday so I should have quite a bit more time to contribute.
I feel quite good about Rikae and Mac, and just in the chance that the wolves did think Agan a seer for her behaviour about Inzil I won't vote for him today (Nerwen suggested it could be a bluff to protect him from getting votes again, but to me Night 1 is not the time to start worrying about protecting themselves from random votes they got, rather than go after the seer, so I'm inclined to think they thought she could have dreamed him). That doesn't mean I'll never consider him again, but for now I think I'll go elsewhere. McCaber hasn't contributed yet today, and Shasta not really enough for me yet, so I'll leave out them. So my choices are then Greenie, Nerwen or Sally. I'll go with this: ++Greenie I admit, more from process of elimination of who I really don't want to vote for, rather than because I really find her suspicious. Slight chance I'll be up early enough to come back, but more than likely I won't be on until Day 3, when I seriously hope to have the time to do more.

I mean, of course the argument is now proven wrong. That always happens whenever an innocent gets lynched. Why point it out as such while being vague about the detail?

Hmm. There's still a distinct lack of activity from some, which is problematic.
I can see Wilwa's point on Greenie, and the latter's vote for Legate still looks off. The fact that Mac appears to be probing toward a possible Greenie vote gives me pause though.

I'm uncertain as to whether or not Rikae is more or less suspicious based on her response, but I'll leave it lie for not. Have to admit, I'm not seeing where the suspicion on Greenie is coming from, but that might just be that I'm playing from my phone (it's storming) and it's difficult to fully read the thread when I can't make notes.

Man, bedtime again.
I'm reluctant to follow on the Greenie train right now, mainly due to Mac. So I'll go with ++Nerwen based on my last.

I don't know what to do with Inzil anymore. I'll look at him tomorrow.
Greenie is my best bet for tonight, so here we go: ++A Little Green |

There's something strange going on between Mac and Inzil, seemingly. If Agan was killed due to looking like the Seer (I can't find another reason for her to be killed so soon after causing Legate's death, anyway) then I tend to lean towards Mac. Plus he voted me yesterday, the cad!
