Bad News! I have to leave now. Everything is closing early on base because of the Holiday.
I really hate that I have to do this now, but I guess there's nothing for it. ++Naria Good luck to you both.

Goodbye, Roa. I will hear Naria's arguments. It seems unfair to kill her now without really a chance to speak. Thank you.

I just thought I'd take this time to announce my 100th post. For no particular reason. Just that I was bored.
I'd like to thank... oh, who am I kidding? You're all awesome, even though some (perhaps most, even) are out too kill me. You're welcome. (What, am I not allowed to have fun in Werewolves? Sheesh! You guys are stricter than I thought.)

Ok I'm here. And I see Roa has made a serious mistake Roa since you won't be around and you McCaber said you won't be on, at least while i'm on, I guess I have no way of getting myself out of this lynch. The reason I say this is because I am able to post a little bit before I go to bed and then I work tomorrow morning, so I won't be around at all for the end discussion or deadline.
*sigh* for what it's worth, I'll go back and re-read what you two have said. I'll be back.....

Alright, it seems I'm the only one here. I'm going to sleep, but I'll be back with plenty of time spare. It seems I'm the only one with no life here today.

I'm going to start with the first line of questioning from Roa and work up.
Quite honestly I had no suspicions. I wasn't about to throw around wild accusations with little or no reason for it. As for the comment thing, I already said that the quiet vs loud debate was going and Legate's push for voting didn't make any sense at all to me. I understand the need for people to post so there would be something to go back on during the stages, but everyone that was posting seemed to me to be going in circles with there arguments and points. I had nothing to add, simple as that. Roa I don't believe for one second that you have lost your taste for blood and I certainly don't believe that bunk about losing your werewolfing mojo(hehe my word). You are one of the more talented players and because of this, I don't think it would take a whole lot of practice, if any, for you to get back into the swing of things. Quote:
Why's that? Ohhh I know because you found out I won't be around and realized Roa has sided with you even before her vote Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
McCaber you and Roa have buddied up(with a vote from her) and with you not being on right now and myself at work tomorrow...there is little doubt in my mind on the outcome here, but hey thanks for giving me the chance to speak. Quote:
There is definitely something up with Roa, but I'm not sure if it's the hair on her back. Hmm I'll ponder for a little bit longer before I head off to bed.

I'm really tired right now and I still haven't decided who i'm going to vote for. So I'm going to set my alarm to get up a bit earlier and come on to see what's what before work. I will have to place at that time. G'night dear wind

++Roa Not a vengeful vote. There is something up with her and everything she is doing is not what a 'normal' Roa would do, I know she explained it, but that did very little to comfort me. McCaber isn't sitting right with me either mostly because of his over agreeability and thankfulness, but I guess I'm going to blame that on being new.

So I'm left here, and I have to cast the deciding vote. Wonderful.
Give me some time. I'll be back before the end with a vote and a thought process.

The battle of the second day began with great anticipation. Yesterdays combat was so exciting that the crowd doubled in quantity, or maybe even tripled. Much of this was due to Legates very odd perfermance. And then again to the fact that two of todays contestants were known as Death. And just about maybe because one of the warriors was twice as enigmatic as the two deaths put together. Naria. Naria Whatserface.
Everybody didnt even know if Naria was a Man. Some speculated that Naria was the Cabbage of Bloody Gore. Some said that he is an Ent with one wooden leg. Some said that she is the godess of bare feet. But most didnt say anything, and barely speculated. And they were the lucky ones, since Naria turned out to be the most ordinary woman in a dress, with a rolling-pin in her hand. To the audience she did look intimidating, but the two other gladiators who got a better view knew that she was in fact eager and happy. "Oooo I get to play with Roa...McCaber is new, but oooo I get to play with Roa!!!" she shrieked. Roa looked at Naria smugly. If you're a wolf trying to curry favor by asking me for an autograph, forget it. Im not called the Red Death for naught. Hmph! You may be the greatest assassin ever, but I dont even take money with lives! whispered the cloaked figure called McCaber. And who are you? Menel, was it? Roa asked uninterestedly and with a quick wrist movement deflected a dagger coming at her heart. No? McCaber? Hiiiii! McCaber, youre good! I wish I knew more about you yelled Naria. Me too thought Roa, but for different reasons. McCaber threw off his cloak and underneath was a very, very very basic looking person. So you have heard of me? Pity. He looked at his leather shoes, twirled his right foot in the sand and scratched his neck. But since you have heard of me, what exactly do you know about me? Though I try to be secretive and all, truth to say, Im very interested to see what people know about me. Roa who felt a bit disgusted, began with a politically correct Umm Naria was on the other hand more straight forward and finished the sentence with a nothing Oh, said the misunderstood killer, But you must know something! I mean, Roa, you knew my name and- It was in my calendar on the kill-list for thise two weeks. -and- ok, hey, know what? Ill give you a hint. He made a great show of taking a concealed black dagger from behind his ear. He held the dagger between his thumb and his middle finger and showed it to the two women. Naria shrugged and Roa rolled her eyes. You dont get it? Hmph McCaber made a great show of walking to the edge of the arena and stopped in a place which the sun didnt reach. Naria srugged again and Roa didnt even bother to roll her eyes. Oh, come on Shadowmaster. The Black Knife! Death? Never heard of me? his lips trembled and he wiped his eyes. With no more provocation he started screaming, Ooh dont know Saurons greatest enemy! Dont! What would I care! Im sure that nobody, who has used the last 15 years of his life just to rid the land from the Great Enemys minions, would care. Nobody, who personally destroyed one of the major threats of the free world, such as the Brotherhood of the Eye, would give even the slightiest thought to whether people knew about him and appreciated what he is trying to achieve. No, of course no! Why woul- Roa shifted her footing and was already feeling so annoyed that she would begin a rant of her own if something didnt stop McCaber. She looked at Naria who didnt look any better and deffinitely more lost. At this point, I don't think hes a wolf, and I know I'm not, which leaves you. The Red Death streched and tried not to listen to McCaber, who hadnt stopped, on the contrary he yelled only louder. She walked up to Naria and stabbed her with a sword. -and did you know oh, I forgot, you dont know anything that I beat the chief of the National Haradric Blasphemy League with only a rook, two pawns and half a kingt, to death. I did! I swear I did- Naria looked at her torn dress and the sword still sticking in it. You know Roa, Im actually a lot more slender than I look. Its a pity you ruined my dress, it was very precious to me. I inherited it from my great-great-great-grandmother. She banged Roa on the head with her rolling-pin. And this rolling-pin, I inherited it from my great-great-great-grandfather who was the greatest warrior of his time (and a well known feminist). -by the time I killed her 88 bodyguards, she managed to escape, but I was smarter. I had set a trap. As soon as she entered her carriage- Huh, is Roa dead? Two guesses. You got it right. Roa, whose head was split, had found that death wasnt red like she expected it to be. It was of an odd mixture that might have contained shades of straw yellow, pearly white, aquamarine (with a touch of deep blue). Roa was baffled by this. For some reason she had always thought that death would be red. But now as she thought about it she saw less and less logic in her presumptions. There went a wave of mustard yellow, and oh, there a line silver! Roa looked at McCaber, who had finally finished his monologue, and Naria, who was eating a juicy pear. She wanted to say something although she, for the first time ever, had nothing to say. Everything was too self-evident to be said aloud. Then something caught her eye! The tiniest of tiniest of tiniest threads of blood red. Roa felt it dance doubtfully just in front of her, just at the other end of the world. Suddenly Roa knew what to say, it would be one of the wisest things ever said, Good luck, guys. I think Ill be leaving now, and it mattered little even if it was also the most self-evident thing ever said. McCaber and Naria turned to look at her. McCaber lifted his hat and bowed and Naria waved. Roa joined the dance with a smile. -------~~ The third day of battle began. -------~~ Around: Brinniel THE Ka Shastanis Althereduin satansaloser2005 Aganzir McCaber Nogrod The Might Thinlómien Valier Groin Redbeard Meneltarmacil Kath Gil-Galad Naria Azaelia of Willowbottom Isabellkya Rikae A Little Green Ugh-Friedrich (host) Gone: Legate of Amon Lanc - lynched on Day0.1 - teleported away Roa_Aoife - lynched on Day0.2 - joined the dance ---------~~ Day0.2 ended, Day0.3 began Aganzir, Ka and Shasta may post and vote (for eachother).

Ugh-Friedrich shouted to anybody who cared to listen, "Aganzir wants to inform you that she is going to be away until midDay", and then muttered to himself, "And I though she was a he..."

Okay, no worries.
Just depends on what her mid-day is, hmm. Anyways, no worries about time. Curious though, Shasta are you around? *plays with lute of brutal honesty and waits* ~ Patient Ka

"MidDay, not midday. Although now that I think about it, it's probably midday and not actually midDay, which is after midDay by a few hours". Ugh-Friedrich was well known for his power of speculation. "But I do wonder if I'm allowed to sleep while I'm hosting the greatests event ever..."

Although I chipped a claw climbing over the wall. *washes himself* Huh. Agan won't be here for a while, meow, so why don't I take a look at you first, Ka. |

Ah good. I was a bit worried for awhile, glad to see you've made it.
Hmph. This doesn't bode well since there isn't much to read about yourself fair Shasta. *plucks lute of brutal honesty playfully* Hmm, I am definately taking another look at Agan, since she did make some very good posts. So, I guess off to the reader-response method that Agan mentioned earlier. Though, the distancing of the new criticism movement would help with using pragmaticism when reading others' posts. Well, I guess I am just off to reading then. ~ Ka

Sorry for coming this late. Fortunately, it seems I didn't miss much.
I would prefer not to lynch someone who's killed early almost every game. I would prefer not to lynch someone I have never played with before. And I'm happy to see that there are thus no off-game reasons that should affect my voting. With you two my problem is that you look quite equally innocent. At least Ka. About Shasta it's rather difficult to say anything (I'm already missing your playing style in the phantom's game ). I'll post soon with some real substance.

On previous trials...
Honestly, I don't understand why Legate was lynched. To me, he was the most innocent-looking of them.
Menel said Valier hadn't posted enough for him to form an opinion about her and Legate was strange, and thus he was inclined to suspect him. Quote:
I don't like the way Menel was after Legate all day. And I don't like either how Valier ended up voting him. The whole lynching was too easy. I believe the wolf is still alive. I think McCaber was the most suspicious there yesterday. I considered Roa innocent as well, but he was really siding with her, and it's quite obvious that Naria would have died had he not failed to vote (which, I hope, he'll explain on Day 1). ** I know these aren't of much use at the moment, but I'd like to hear your thoughts anyway. Or at least your thoughts about something, especially Shasta's. I think I can tell that if I had to vote now, I'd vote Shasta - because Ka has been so much more constructive. (Why is it that I've recently taken into a habit of threatening him with a vote? ) But I'd hate to actually vote him with that reason, so please, Shasta, talk.

I'm not much into making analyses this early, with so little to go on, and it's pretty difficult to find any suspicious things with you.
Anyway, I'm slightly wary about Ka's approach on Day 0. She didn't speak only a little, and mostly sense, but about rather irrelevant matters like the game dynamics. It would have been, and still would be, nice to hear a little more what she thinks about people. And with Shasta there's absolutely nothing to go on. There's this song by Current 93, named Twilight Twilight Nihil Nihil, and it seems to fit this day perfectly.

Yay! Glad you are here.
I was weird and decided to wake up at 2am my time, but I had to go to sleep after an hour or so or I'd passout on the keyboard. Sorry. Quote:
Anyways, even if Roa was deciding to be mellow, I wouldn’t doubt her cleverness too easily because of this. Though, with the trial day she gave me more reason not to hold an over eager amount of suspicion about her. Others seemed inclined to suspect her on this account, but she clearly states the technical terms why. So, I don’t see this post as being one to ring bells of alarm. As for Menel, I in some sense want to think he is just Ordo or gifted, and that he is just playing in his own style which sometimes might cause others to take what he jokes too seriously. Though, the pre-trial day of making the loud vs. quiet mini-argument (is there such a word? It wasn’t everyone’s argument though) suddenly the object of concern (even if it is to disband it) seems rather wolfish, since it is a good distraction. For that, I do have concern about the actions of Menel. As for McCaber, I can see reasons why he would want to really, play it safe. Though, I’m not going to let the ‘newbie’ air cloud anything around him, since there have been first time players before who’ve really changed the course of the game, especially aided for better or worse, by the nodding off that ‘well, they’re just new’. Personally, when I think someone plays for the first time they might be new to werewolf, but I don’t think they are new to the concept of hiding and talking artfully, on any level of pragmatics. So, I am going to keep an eye out for him, just because I’m ‘nice’ and think he has far more to show just yet, and explain. I don’t have much of an opinion on Legate just yet, but after reading his later posts, this especially stuck out for some reason: Quote:
This kind of bothered me a little, but I have far more suspicion on Menel at the moment than one little thing by Legate. Since, we all end up doing little things in werewolf that we look back on say, ‘Doh!’ As for the voting of Legate, that does have suspicion, but I think it might have been done to avoid as what happened the second day, plus there was a general rush to the vote. Which can be good if you’re a wolf and want an easy way out of things, then to just bandwagon and hide for the next six days going over things and what to say. Quote:
I'm sorry about leaving now, but I have a class in the morning and I should be able to be back in about 2 1/2 hours or so, and maybe later on after that if there is enough time. Sorry about this, it looks like our day's access was completely chopped up. ~ Ka

As I promised at the end of Day 0
For those who will be in the same trial with Lommy...
Not much of what she has said this far has made me suspicious about her. But there's something in her posts that I very much dislike, though I really can't put my finger on it. Quote:
Quote:
Her reaction to Azaelia in #81 looked quite genuine, though. As a conclusion, Lommy bothers me more and more every time I read her posts, but I still can't elaborate it any better. Some fleeting glimpses, and the growing feeling that there's something wrong. Argh. ** I just can't figure Ka out. She looks sensible, but I have no idea if she's innocent or not. Anyway, I'll be leaving for a while again. Back before the deadline.

I'm not quite sure when the deadline is, and I'm going to be at work for the next five hours. I've been asleep and then in class for the past... twelve.
And Aganzir, you'll notice that I did try to change my playing style in the phantom's game, only to be the first wolf kill. Logic dictates that that is apparently a bad idea... Anyway, I'm full aware that there's not a lot to go on (read: nothing) where I'm concerned, due to RL issues. (I have a lot of those lately....) I believe Volo said that the deadline was at 8:00 PM GMT, which I /think/ translates to 2:00 PM CST, meaning... an hour and a half? |

About an hour and ten minutes from now, yes.
Don't give up so easily. The first game you behave differently the wolves might well think you're a gifted, but please.

Is either of you around?
To be honest, this feels quite frustrating. If Shasta doesn't post anything, I'll vote for him. If I can't tell which of you is the wolf, I rather save the one who contributes more.

Yes, sorry.
I had to go rush and take care of something important for the moment. Ugh, I wish I had more grounds to go on. I really don't want to vote this way, because Shasta, I understand how hard it is when RL things get in the way. Though, I really wished you could have posted more, about anything, earlier in the day before Agan came on and after. Sorry if it was pressuring or something, but I don't want to vote you out for RL issues at all, only because not posting much besides a hello or two kind of looks more suspicious than a slipped word or two, or strange reasoning. I think you probably could have posted something, and didn't have to give up too soon. ++Shasta ~ Ka

As the saying goes: You dont need to be overly smart to survive, but you do need to be on the bright side to see others die.
In the morning a chilling wind blew from the North and some of the audience had to go home to get warmer coats. Not all, naturally, not all at all, since many had slaves that were sent to the streets. Those who did have to go themselves went and returned soon, to notice that their places had been taken by some poor buggers who had arrived too late to find places and had sense to dress warmly in the first place. Around midday the wind brought a heavy storm with thunder and lightning. It was good news to the people who had left for their warm coats. They rushed to collect their rain-cloaks and were at the Temple before the poor buggers who had the sense to dress warmly but not resistantly to rain. Thanks to the storm todays audience was elite compared to the audience of the first two days. And lucky too, because this was a very odd day. Legate the ex-Ranger had his pet cat with him when he arrived to Númenor. He was an unusual cat. Not only was he the size of a large wolf oh, not a Werewolf, those were much larger still but he was also as black as a genuine blackout. However more unusual than that was the unnerving fact that the cat was actually one of the 21 contestants. The cat was a Dire Leopard with the pet name Shasta. Shasta was a beautiful creature with sleek black fur before the storm began. After, Shasta looked miserable and sad, which was appropriate since his master and childhood friend Legate had abandoned him because of a personal restraint. That being the case Shasta crawled into the dryest corner and went to sleep. The other wonder of creation was plucking his Lute of Brutal Honesty not that anybody had the slightest idea of why the instrument was called so and recited a poem that sounded like nothing, quite literally. The audience didnt even remember his name and he was commonly refered to as Who now? The wind turned and the rain came at his lute. To preserve his instrument he hid it in his cloak. After a slow and pondering gaze around the arena, he said, This doesnt bode well as Shasta is clearly not of the more talkative species. But I wouldnt like to vote him, he is far too cute to die now. Aganzir on the other hand has said several wise things. But shes a human, which doesnt bode good. He stood up and took out his Bow of Second Guessing just to be on the safe side. I have never encountered such an easy choice in my life. The death of a magnificent Dire Leopard or a mere woman? And yet I cannot choose Ill vote for Shasta, if he doesnt say anything, muttered Aganzir, who sat on- no, under, her horse. She saw that the bard looked at this curiously. Its to prevent getting mys- my axes wet, nothing to stare at. You do have a handsome horse. I promise not to touch her even if I decide to kill you. Hah! My horse promises not to let you touch me even if she has to die for it. But worry not, Ill personally see that she doesnt have to risk anything trying to save me. I can jolly well save myself! spit Aganzir, Have in mind that I havent tasted Dire Leopard meat before. I think I just came into a mood of not allowing anybody harm animals! Aganzir! To get to Shasta would mean going over my dead body! Aganzir looked uninterested and didnt move an inch. At that moment somebody in the crowd found out that the bards name was Taliesin and the news spread like the wetness of the day. The spreading news sounded like a chant. Taliesin, Taliesiin! Oooo-o-oo! O-o-o-oo! Taliesin, Taliesiin! The bard lost interest in his self-sacrificing mission the same instant as he recognised his name being sung. He threw off his cloak and took out his Brutally Honest Lute. I am honored to be here in the midth of such an awesome audience. Truly, Númenor has the best audience! I hope you enjoy my poems that are mostly fantasy. The crowd roared with appreciation, although nobody had the slightest idea what would happen next. Guess who it is. Created before the deluge. A creature strong, Without flesh, without bone, Without veins, without blood, Without head, and without feet Shasta? Aganzir shouted mockingly. It will not be older, it will not be younger, Than it was in the beginning. Nope. Kill Shasta for all I care. There will not come from his design Fear or death. Aganzirs horse shrugged and began to trot to the sleeping cat. When she was just beside Shasta, Aganzir announced: Wakey, wakey! Cat-creature? Have you got any interest in defending yourself? I myself would rather kill you right away without ceremony- no dont think that that is because I want to be kind, not at all. But I am hungry, and so is my horse. He has no wants From creatures. Shasta opened one eye and growled lazily. Aganzir interpreted the reply as a no and lifted her bow. The next moment she lay in the wet sand with the Dire Leopard on top of her closing his jaws on her throat. She didnt waste (much) time regretting not having a dagger handy (and noted it for the future) and aimed her own teeth at the beasts throat, not forgetting to send her claws at the eyes. The two struggled in the dirt and tried to best each other. Although Aganzirs horse was battle-trained and all, this was such a new situation that the horse simply stood and waited for orders pationally. Madawg, the joy of the wall, Madawg, before he was in the grave, Hey, be fair. Fight a bit quieter, you two. Was a fortress of abundance Of games, and society. Honestly The son of Uthyr before he was slain, Do I have to silence you myself? From his hand I mean, this isnt the best moment for rolling in the mud Dear audience: I apologize from the bottom of my soul, but there are technical problems with the sound reproduction. Excuse me Taliesin took out his two inconspicious, regular and honest long knives and stuck them into the two dirt-covered figures. Ouch! yelled Aganzir! Hsshhh! hissed Shasta! Thanks, Agan, I couldnt decide which of you was the beast, said the bard and rolled his eyes. Im doing this with a symbolic meaning then, he shouted as he plunged an Arrow of Regret into the Dire Leopards mouth. --------~~ Shasta didnt feel pain. He felt comfortably numb although he was aware of his body changing rapidly. Bones twisted around and rubbed against one another and some broke into pieces which formed completely new bones. His heart shrank and his brain grew. He felt small. Small and weak. Weak and naked. But alive. Suddenly true senses rushed back to him and he felt thirsty. Shasta opened his eyes and saw bright sunlight. He was lying beside a small pond. He crawled to the edge of it and looked into the water. In the water was a black face of a Man! Shasta tried hissing, but managed only to caugh at the pond. This caused a ripple on the surface of the pond and the image dissolved. Shasta heard a sound from behind himself and jumped around. A man looked at him from behind a stone. The man made some primitive sound and other heads began appearing from the bushes and behind stones. Shasta grew tense, snarled and raised his right paw. At least it had been a paw last time he saw it -------~~ Around: Brinniel THE Ka satansaloser2005 Aganzir McCaber Nogrod The Might Thinlómien Valier Groin Redbeard Meneltarmacil Kath Gil-Galad Naria Azaelia of Willowbottom Isabellkya Rikae A Little Green Ugh-Friedrich (host) Gone: Legate of Amon Lanc - lynched on Day0.1 - teleported away Roa_Aoife - lynched on Day0.2 - joined the dance Shastanis Althereduin - lynched on Day0.3 ---------~~ Day0.3 ended, Day0.4 began Lommy, Might and Noggie may post and vote (for one another (stupid English lesson makes me see my mistakes)).

"Allright you two, let's do this properly. No one's to run away or hide in the shadows."
Nogrod waved his hammer and turned to look at the balcony of the special guests. "We will not disappoint the audience!" he yelled and eyed the two contestants in the arena with him. "Now do we?" ~*~ Okay here's just for starters and to the record if I'm not going to walk out of this arena with my own feet. Legate was a wolf. I gave my argument to it on Day0.0 already and won't repeat it here. Well done Valier and Menel. Even if my guts would say you two look all but innocents, but I guess I must believe the rules stated and take you two as innocents now. We all make misinterpretations I admit. Roa was a gifted so one of you Naria or McCaber is a wolf. Why? Because Roa would never waver when she's a wolf. You may discuss why someone looks different than "normal" in a game but with people like Roa it would be just preposterous to assume that she is afraid or nervous because she is a wolf. She isn't. She's the real cool killer when a wolf. But if she was a seer she might have tried a more agreeable style trying not to get lynched. I haven't had time to go through the late posting on the last Day to voice my opinion on that result yet. But I will do it later toDay. But to the battle at hand then. My feelings from the Day 0.0 were that Lommy felt innocent and I was pretty confused with The Might. So if I'd have to vote now my vote would go to The Might. Happily I need not to do it right now. The Might, you have 24 hours to make me rethink my vote! I will surely go through Lommy's and The Might's posting on Day 0.0 to see whether I should myself change my view (I had time to notice Agan had some major problems with Lommy). I was one of the loudest advocates for people posting on Day 0.0 and I will now say let's not leave this to the posts of Day 0.0 alone but let's make our best effort to post well toDay as well. Like Valier said on Day 0.1, let's set the standard toDay!

Thinlómien the Elf-Orc stood up to her full height, which wasn't, unfortunately, very impressive. Still, she held her head up high and a grin crept to her face, the corners of her mouth first twitching down, then up, revealing a monstrous row of yellow teeth. She licked her knife. "Squirrel blood... you know I needed a new footbag..."
Then she sheathed the knife. She smiled wryly. "May Elbereth in all her wisdom show us the correct path..." All curelty was extinguished of her expression. "For such guidance is indeed needed. I'm going to face a tough choice toDay. Neither of you really looks wolvish. Not that you'd strike me as obvious innocents either. It sure is an odd feeling to be here and discuss things in a polite manner while knowing that one of the ones you're talking with is far worse than he seems. I can very well see why Volo added these Days as an extra adrenaline-risers. My mind is buzzing already. I'm quite glad to be against you two, anyway. I know I can trust Nogrod to be around and provide me something to get clues of. And I do believe TM won't be hypersilent either, though I'm not sure. Well, if he doesn't appear to contribute very much we others can always lynch him. Which brings me to another point. Quote:
But I'm afraid that doesn't mean I'm any clearer with my suspicions. YesterDay, I agreed with Noggie very much, which eventually lead me to ponder if it means he's innocent (as his mind seems to work the same way as mine) or if he's just a sneaky wolf... But I really didn't suspect him. As to TM, I must he really left no impression on me yesterday. I hope my mind will be clearer after a reread and an analysis. As to the previous Days... well, the first two ones looked like Volo's playing a cruel joke on us and is pitting three people of the same role against each other. I mean, Legate, Valier and Menel all seemed rather unsincere. I was inclined to believe Legate was the wolf in the trio, though, until he made that very weird final show of his - it left me completely baffled. So I can't really tell which of them was the wolf. I'm equally undecided about Roa, Naria and McCaber, this time because they all seemed so innocent. (Yes, even Roa whom I suspected on Day0). Quote:
As to the latest, displeasingly silent Day, I'm still inclined to believe Aganzir innocent, even though she seemed less suspicious on Day0.0 than last Day. (Even though I have reservations of her, she always manages to fool me completely when's evil...) I can't really have an opinion on Shasta, and THE Ka seems sincere-ish. So... hmmm... any of them could be the wolf, but I'd possibly be the least surprised if they had managed to get it right at random and Shasta indeed was a wolf. But on the whole, that sure looks a bit too optimistic. I can't believe we'd have been as lucky as to lynch three wolves this far, especially as the gorunds of voting have been quite feeble. So maybe I should reconsider and not lull myself into a false sense of security... I'll be back a while later to reread and analyse Noggie and Miggie and throw in a few other comments."

Added to that I will stand behind my standards anyhow. People actually playing this game whatever their role = good, people just trying to hang around and sneak through whatever their role = bad. I mean this is a game which one should enjoy playing and not only by counting the wins and losses. A great game lost is million times better than a lousy victory. So I just spoke my mind. Sorry if you don't like it Lommy. But also I must say that it's funny you did not include the part of my post following the quote where I said I'm going to look after the posts of both of you two to make up my mind only after that - both from Day 0.0 and even more toDay. So picking the parts that suit you? Even intentionally misrepresenting the meaning behind it? That's what wolves do as they need to fabricate their cases... I hope I have time to scan through the posts of you two before I go to sleep and make some comments on them. (OOC: Lommy and A Little Green are here at my place and we will be spending some latenight together offline... I have an early morning call tomorrow so I will be most active in the latter part of toDay)

What I have with the Might?
Three posts on Day 0.0, all towards the end of the Day. Nicely placed even if RL-things are a matter to consider here and thus the placing of the posts can't be made any real case against one. Still it could be intrerpreted as deliberately safe. It could... which does not mean it should. The first post gives the impression he's totally confused about the general outline of the game. Might be true and doesn't prove anything pro or con. The second post says he's read the Admin. thread and now understands the basic mechanics of the game. Says he sees why votes could matter but then again downplays the meaning of them. Nice and square. But why to defend this position with: Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Then the theory of yours. Why did you came forwards with it? What was the basic motivation there? You said: Quote:
I mean many an innocent or gifted have talked about "us" before... so what were you trieng to achieve with that point? Trying to get rid of a possibly hard enemy? Maybe you were as confused with the trials as you were with the more general things and thought it wise to go on suspecting me after Legate had done so and you thought you had a free ticket there with two against one? Happily we were all wrong and those initial divisions given as examples by Volo weren't the real thing at all... So were you kind of trying to play in a game where you thought that after Legate's suspicion it would be easy for you to capitulate by making a suspicion on me... (and was I wrong with Legate then?) The third and last post: Quote:
I'll not go back to this "we innocents" stuff anymore as The Might has does it himself but look at the claim: "seems to rather make up reasons to accuse many". Now what else an innocent would do? I know thew wolves would love to have a quiet Day when all these trials would go on by hunches and timing-tactics... I Quote:
I may have my suspicions on Lommy - and I do have them - but if you don't come clear with these and actually post what is it you're suspecting then I need to consider voting you. But I will have a closer look at Lommy as well tomorrow after I get from work. I'll be around in the last seven hours or something like that... But The Might, please post... I know Lommy will do that.

Anyway, I can't really see why did you make such a fuss out of me leaving out a sentence that was totally unnecessary from my point of view. Are you a wolf grasping at straws - at this point of the Day? Quote:
I wasn't trying to misrepresent you or make you look furry. I merely speculated that your behaviour could be a wolvish ploy. What's wrong with it? I don't really see the point of getting that heated because of a speculative sort of suspicion that isn't even strong. I can't recall you being this jumpy for ages. Which is weird. Wolves and gifteds may be jumpy, but I've not seen a jumpy Wolfgrod or a Giftgrod since your first games. So what's this? Are you trying a more cobbleresque wolf tactic or are you actually a cobbler creating havoc? Or are you just having a bad day? Or are you just testing my reactions by trying to provoke a reaction with your jumpy aggressiveness? If yes, don't you see your tactic might backfire and lead me - who previously had no "suspicion preference" between you and TM - to actually suspect you? I must say your current behaviour is perplexing me and I really don't know what to think of you. It is better than TM's current behaviour, though. I can really draw no conclusions from it, for some reason.

Ok, I looked through their earlier posts and two things caught my attention:
1) Quote:
That and the totally perplexing posts from toDay are all that I find suspicious about him. Otherwise he seems neutral or innocentish. 2) Quote:
But that's really all I have against him. ~*~ So I'm really torn. Neither of these guys sends me innocentish vibes. They're both slightly suspicious. I would say I find Nogrod more suspicious than The Might, but I'm vaguely afraid it's just because TM has posted so little that he has not had the chance to look suspicious. I can hardly make any decision before I hear a lot more of him. I don't really know... I could basically vote TM just to keep Nogrod in the game if I have no real evidence of his guilt... I mean, I'd rather play the future days with someone of Nogrod's verbiosity level, not TM's, especially as two loudmouths have already died in this game. I claim it will be a disaster if only silent people make it to the finals... Hmph... and the fact that I have a 50% chance of getting this right really doesn't comfort me... because personally I have the bad feeling that with my luck and current wolf-hunting skills I'm going to choose the wrong one and then it feels even more annoying... Argh. It's really somewhat disturbing to know that one of the two has to be a wolf, if you have no clear idea which one. I'm very glad I don't have to choose now... Let's hope I get a lot of responses and comments from both of my fellow trialists before I have to make the fatal choice...

We just checked our last night's (rl) posting together and ended up playing this game live together in front of the computer. Sadly there's no audio recording of it to share with you... We should definitively stop reading these threads together when a game is on...
But where are you the Might? You said on Day 0.0 that you didn't like my playing style. I must return that compliment to you now in earnest. Are you playing or are you not? I also said that I don't think it a valid argument to vote for someone if you dislike his playing style but I'm about to act against my word toDay if you don't appear with some thoughts to share. In this case I might also say that my vote would not come from pure annoyance with a style of playing but also because of not playing at all. Okay. I'm optimistic still and I do hope to hear from you so that I can forget what I just wrote. Throwing a dice is no method of reasoning out who is a wolf. We need things said to do that. Which brings me to Lommy then... Well, well. I'm not sure what to say right now. I thought initially that Aganzir's points against Lommy weren't too good - and I'm tending to believe that way still. But there's something in her posting toDay that I'm not too relaxed with. Somehow she's over-careful with her standing within this trio even if she posts a lot and also says a lot. It kind of feels she is watching very carefully the balance of the mood and what tm might say when / if he finally comes around. She kind of feels like ready to leap on either direction whichever will suit her better. Now that is not an actual argument against anyone. Many of us try to survive even we we're just plain ordos but I felt I needed to point to that. And I naturally disagree with your points on me as they are just false or plain far-fetched or insignificant. The problem I have with them is not their content but the fact that you felt a need to voice a host of them. Yes, I can return your point about people possibly throwing things out to see how others react. That's perfectly legitimate and I tend to do that myself as well. But somehow, looking at the context here they seem somewhat fishy or should I say retaliatory (after I made one remark why someone could see Lommy as a wolf). I'd say answering an isolated suggestion of wolvishness with a host of poor arguments that try to paint the other black is jumpy indeed. It doesn't look like an innocent answering (or ignoring) an accusation but as a wolf trying to lead the discussion away from her. And talking about jumpiness... you saw it fit to answer some suspicions laid on you in a different trial altogether but why? That wasn't so pressing as tm is nowhere to be seen and I think I had already dissed them. Alright. I seem not to be concentrating on making friends here in this trial but the duty of us is to challenge if we wish to dig those wolves out from their hiding. They must be challenged, they must be forced to react to things. By reactions one can incriminate oneself or make oneself look better. I know one of you is not a wolf so pardon my suspicions. I need you both to tell me which one of you is.

I find it funny that you first accuse me of aggressiveness and then of defensiveness. It seems like you complain if I raise points against you or defend myself/ clarify my sayings if someone has raised a point against me. What else could I actually do? Raise points against TM based on three mostly nonsensical posts? (which I actually did) Or stay silent like him and say nothing, as everything I say seems to displease you? Besides, you accuse me of retaliatory aggressiveness. Just look at your latest post. Quote:
Also, I don't like the apologetic ending of your post. Of course people have to challenge each other in these trials. You've been doing it, I've been doing it, and in fact, it has lead to some sort of argument and chain of accusations between us while both of us declare we are not very suspicious of the other. Which would be a very amusing situation if it was less serious. But really... it seems we can hardly do anything else than argue against each other before TM appears and sheds some light on this whole thing. And justified or not, I have the feeling that he appears a while before the deadline, reads through our little argument and votes the one he says looks more wolvish based on it without really elaborating on that much and disappears. That would be very frustrating, but at least it would solve the problem of who I'm going to vote toDay... *would add a rolleyes-smiley if hadn't already passed the limit*

I'm getting a feeling that our arguments are becoming more and more mirror-images of each other...
I say I suspect Lommy for jumping on my points and turning them to points against me - and she does likewise. I say Lommy is jumpy & retaliatory, she says I'm jumpy and retaliatory. Lommy says she's been accused with feeble reasons, I feel the same. Lommy accuses me of an apologetic ending in my last post and then makes a rather consiliatory ending herself... Okay the Might, the mighty warrior you boast you are. Come to the rink and don't shy in the shadows. It seems we're in a dire need of discussing something else for a change. (OOC: I'm going to prepare a dinner for myself and Lommy but will return after an hour or two to try and make some substantial posting - hopefully concerning the Might's new posts as well)
