Werewolf CX: Insert Title Here - the game thread

[Rikae]

At any rate, when I saw Shasta's post it made me slightly more concerned about Legate, and I was waiting to hear what else he'd say about it.

I wish I knew whether Legate would put that kind of stock in Shasta, or realize that I would or anyone else might. I suppose the fact that he mentioned it at all suggests he does.

I'd be the last person to discount my sun in splendour's psychic abilities, but the hypothesis here is that either the wolves went: "ARRRGH! Shasta's on to Legwolf!" or "Tee hee, everyone will *think* that". And that seems rather wolfy reasoning to me. Except, of course, there's four of you doing it...

Shasta was quite dramatic about it, after all.

Now to figure out why my brain elected to say that...

Now, Lommy herself I could maybe see doing that. But Legate?

Granted, from what I've read this far Legate appears to have been fairly instrumental in the Inzil lynch yesterday, and I know several people seem to have perfectly good reasons to think him innocent at this juncture. I just wanted to get my first impression down. I'll need to do some more reading.

And then

And he voted for him.

Here's what Legate said:

I would say that Shasta's death points more than to anything else to the fact that the WWs want to make quiet kills and leave the rest of the village to squabble among themselves, and to let the louder villagers go after each other's throats. Although it should be noted that Shasta actually need not have been very quiet had he actually gotten the chance to appear and post toDay, and in fact, his last minutes he started being quite vocal and I daresay sounding quite a lot like an invested innocent, so that might have been also part of the motivation. He initially suspected and voted me, and raised questions regarding sally, Rikae and Eomer's voting and interactions. Any of these might have played a role (bringing attention of the village to the people in question, or stopping him before he could make up his mind on any of these, etc. It might also have been pure elimination process; such as WWs going through the list of names "we're not killing this one, they could be suspected" and being simply left with Shasta, or somesuch).

He was the first to bring it up, but as one of a long list of possibilities.

Then Lommy said:

and about Legate's post

And Greenie votes him for it

Now, for my part, I wasn't paying much attention to his list and how he listed it. As soon as I saw the narration I was reminded of the connection and asked myself whether Legwolf would kill Shasta.

What Lommy's saying about him downplaying it, well, I can't call it farfetched, because it was a notable thing Shasta did. Saying he downplayed it, though, as if it pointed directly and straightforwardly at him? That's strange.

Greenie... is either convinced by Lommy's argument, or conveniently latching onto it as an excuse, and I really can't get a feel for which. She's been playing rather cautiously overall, and I can't remember from other games whether or not that's typical for her.

[Nerwen]

They are upgrading the service here and my connection keeps going out. It's making this very hard.

[Nerwen]

Greenie is generally a pretty cautious player, in any role.

[Nerwen]

Really can't get a read on her at the moment.

[Rikae]

Well, if Sally's determined to vote for me, the only options now are people who already have a vote, anyway.

[Nerwen]

Who is left to vote? You, me and Sally?

I'm getting worried one of you is a wolf waiting to see how I vote so you can climb on to it...

[Nerwen]

Sally seems to have disappeared, anyway.

If I were a wolf, I'd have voted for Eomer yesterDay rather than tie it all up. I may play coy sometimes, but I'm not that thick.

Sometimes wolves gamble- but yes, it's a point in your favour, and I don't quite get why peopke seem to be ignoring it toDay.

[satansaloser2005]

You'll notice I'm completely ignoring the fact that Nerwen could be a wolf. I'm hoping this is not a mistake.

Nerwen, if you'd like me to vote first, I can do that. As long as, you know, it's not voting for me. The only innocence I can be entirely sure of is my own.

[Rikae]

Don't trust Sally.

So if I'm not to be trusted, why didn't you vote me and (I think) tie it up?


x'd with Nerwen

[Rikae]

If you'd done that two seconds earlier, Sally, I would have joined you.

[satansaloser2005]

Hello! Sorry. I had an extreme technical difficulty with my main laptop. I'm here again.


EDIT: x'd with Lommy

[Rikae]

Aw, and I was looking forward to toying with them all day.

See, the problem is there's no point in voting for someone if no one else does, especially at this stage, and we can't afford to waste votes.

Again, I don't feel comfortable voting Legate, which leaves Lommy or introducing a new candidate. I can't make up my mind on Lommy, which I guess is never a good sign.


x'd with some Nerwens


P.S. I give up, Moddwen.
