The Dead
Boro (Mod) Huinesoron (Villager) ---- It is Night 2 Welcome Huey! You are free to post and talk to yourself (although try to refrain from spamming. The moderators frown on getting this thread "too chatty" I'm just pumped that I will finally experience a dead thread from the start until the end. And NOT have to read the entire thread afterwards.

"There is no emotion - there is peace.
There is no ignorance - there is knowledge. There is no passion - there is serenity. There is no death - there is the Dead Thread." - Let's say Finwe Huinesoron's analysis of Day 1, Part 1: Me. Good news! Multiple people noted that my play style was different to last game, which was a firm goal of mine. Less good news: I'm not sure the difference they noticed was the one I was aiming for. I was angling for 'shorter and more committed posts', but seem to have wound up with 'more pokey'. Bad news: it got me killed. Okay, so why am I dead? According to my voters: -Shasta: thought I was the Nightmare Wolf because I was pushing people, liked my explanation for what I was up to, but voted me anyway. -Rikae: skeptical about my pushing, and thought my paranoia looked guilty. That's fair. -Nog: misreading my 'initial suspicion' of Formendacil, and not liking me saying what I was doing w/r/t pushing. -Kath: 'to see what happens', plus presumably the earlier claim I was ''pushing' everyone but not particularly saying a lot himself.' I'm seeing two factors at play, both in the votes and in people's other comments on me: -Actively pushing people to try and get reads on them draws attention. Not much I can do about that - I get my best reads off people by interacting with them, and I refuse to sit quietly and not play the game. -I'm saying too much of what I'm thinking. This covers both the paranoia theory and Nog's whole thing. I mean... I kind of see the point, but not sharing my thoughts means the rest of the village aren't getting all the information. I want to make sure that they understand what I'm trying to say and do, rather than just leaving them a bunch of 'hS is being weird'. I dunno. I'd really like to think the clear misreading by various people (Kath, Nog) is wolfish scheming, because... well, I'm a writer, words are my tool, and the idea that I'm just bad at communicating makes me kind of sad. But... ah, well. Next post: the votes. hS |

"Tol-in-Gaurhoth was a democracy - one man, one vote. The Moderator was the Man, and he had the Vote." - Orodreth, I suppose.
Huinesoron's Analysis of Day 1, Part 2: The Vote Unlike most votes in the last game, this wasn't a two-horse race, and that means there's a lot of potential information there - hooray! Let's get to it. From Boro's DL-minus-5 tally: Nilp > Nilp Sally > No Vote Shasta > Huey Huey > Form BG > Form (2) Greenie > Pitch Rikae > Huey (2) Lommy > Nilp (2) Nog > Huey (3) Lottie > Legate Kath > Huey (4) Brinn > BG Legate > Form (3) Form > Nilp (3) Pitch > Kath Mac > Pitch (2)
Based on that, here's my list of 'suspicious or not': hS thinks evil: -Nog -Lottie? -Kath -Brinn -Pitch hS is neutral: -Nilp (but might be a cobbler - those boots!) -Sally -Form -Mac hS thinks innocent: -Shasta -Greenie -Rikae -Lommy -Legate This was my problem yesterDay: my biggest 'evil' reads were on people who suspected me. But with more time to look back, I still think they're dodgy. I would guess one of the final group will join me here toMorrow, and would consider any of them as a possible Medium. If one of the 'evil' group winds up night-killed, I'll need to do a total reevaluataion. (I can't imagine a Neutral will - Nilp is on his first game back, Sally is ill, Form was the person a lynched innocent voted for, and Mac's lack of posting makes him look generally suspicious.) hS |

"A picture lynches a thousand words." - Sounds like Ar-Pharazon the Cobbler
I drew this the other day as part of a birthday present for my mother. Consider it my gift to mislynched Ordos and undercover wolves alike. Whoever joins me here: welcome! I will laugh so hard if you're the Cobbler. hS |

Yes, yesterday was a more typical day 1 voting than Nog's game.
Love the drawing!

The Dead
Boro (Mod) Huinesoron (Villager) Loslote (Villager) ---- It is Day 2. Welcome Loslote. You and Huey will have to vote for the same person, among the living, to be the Medium today. You are allowed to retract your votes, by --Boro But as soon as you both vote for the same person (if you decide to) the voting is over and the person you chose is automatically the Medium.

Well, I was trying to draw the wolf kill, I was just hoping the Ranger or Beast Hunter would pick up on the Seer hints.

'allo Lottie, sorry you're dead; well done on not being Gifted. Of all the people I called evil last Night, you're the one I'm happiest to be wrong about. I was just feeling really suspicious that anyone could look at me and not think wolf.

I was pretty sure you were innocent, so I tried to broadcast "Seer kinda annoyed that her N1 dream was being lynched" as hard as I could.

Also, my instinct when you were jumpy about me and Kath was that you might be Gifted. I eventually realized you weren't going to reveal and just voted for my top suspicion at the time (Legate, though I would now add Nog).

I'm not mad about it - I went into this game wanting to play a bolder game than I usually do. I've never actually done any significant Gifted hinting as part of a strategy. I do wish the BH had picked up on it and we could've gotten a wolf, too, but at least it's me dead and not a Gifted!

Lottie was a wolf (I forget who the other wolves were). But I had the rule that in the event of a tie, whoever got the highest total LAST would be the one lynched. I think the first 4 days and nights the only people dying were villagers and I swore to everyone that yes there are wolves and there are gifted roles in this village. It got to the point where everyone knew everyone else's role, because the ranger made a save that turned it around for the village. And I will forever have the image of Lottie running down a street in DC to make it to the DL and vote to clinch it for the wolf pack. Because the last 2 days were just a voting arms-race as people hoped to be the "last" to vote. Crazy. But that's also why I took Nog's rule from last game about tied votes.

Looking at our lists, it seems like we only agree that we feel good about Rikae, so they might be a good option to vote for as Medium toDay.

But yeah, I was all dressed up and literally *running* down the street. That was some game.

Here is the game in question. Looks like the pack was Me, Greenie, Nerwen, and Kitanna, and we won by the skin of our teeth.
EDIT: Greenie was the cobbler, that's right.

Looks like Rikae picked up on my being way too certain about Huin, which probably means they aren't a wolf OR the Ranger or BH. Kath claims she didn't notice anything, which might be kind of suspicious or might just mean she's not in a Seer-hunting frame of mind.

Hmm. Maybe he's playing in an older style, but I don't like Form actively talking about people giving off "Gifted/Wolf" vibes. Also, the way he talked about Kath and Pitch felt to me like wolf-on-wolf with bonus implicating an innocent, where Pitch is the innocent he's tying packmate Kath to. Feeling less good about Form.

THANK YOU. I don't know how no one else figured that one out.

Nilp at #230 seems to be either arguing that you're not the Seer, or that the Wolves couldn't have thought you were the Seer, or that the Wolves were stupid for thinking you were. I'm really not sure where he's aiming with this.

Greenie and Pitch have the same reasoning as me re Nog and Kath. As usual, being agreed with makes me very suspicious.
And Form wandered off down a weird blind alley where you could be the Cobbler and ???somehow??? this speculation is useful. He weirdly doesn't mention the Dead Thread, which is the only place the idea could be of any use. Also, my memory of the rules discussion is that we touched on no roles being revealed, but never on just the Cobbler not being revealed, which makes this a really odd idea to get. hS |

I would be happy to Mediumize either Rikae or Brinniel today. If you've got a different suggestion, I'm willing to be convinced.

I like what Greenie's been saying, too. Still catching up with the living, though. In a perfect world, I'd like to Mediumize someone who's going to vote for Kath, Nog, or Form if at all possible, ideally one of Brinn, Rikae, or Greenie.

I see what you mean about Lommy, too. I'd be okay Mediumizing her as well.

I would be leaning towards Rikae, Greenie, and Lommy, in that order, but imagine if we Mediumized Brinn first chance we could after last game....

I feel like Nog has attracted more suspicion today than Kath or Form; maybe it would be worth Mediumizing a Kath/Form voter if it looks like the vote might be split between one of them and Nog? That way the wolves might need to show their hand, if there's two of them on the block. Double-checking the rules, we can wait until the last minute to vote. I'd really rather not - I need sleep - but if things look dicey we can hold off. Quote:
I'm not going to argue with that order. From Rikae's latest post, they look set to vote Nog at the moment. Greenie looks to be somewhere between Nog and Legate, and Lommy... could do anything. hS |

If you'd gone with your original plan of telling them once we'd Mediummed someone, you could totally have trolled the Living with this.

Confused. I feel stronger about Nog, Kath, and Form at this point, but I definitely am still wary of Legate. I'm starting to agree that if anyone votes Kath or Form, it would be a good idea to Medium them, just so they don't get lost in the louder Nog-Legate controversy.
