Day One

#51. Banter with Eomer; hates Day Ones. (What a surprise!)

#96. (At this point, Agan had 3 votes. Wilwa and Glirdan 1 each.)

But it's Day 1, and slightness is slight... so...

Comment: The oddity of voting the "slightly more useful" person over the "entertaining" one has already been commented on– however, I don't think it's that important in Day One vote. Not by itself, anyway. However, the fact remains that, unlike Glirdan or Agan, Wilwa had done nothing to attract suspicion. The other vote on her was Glirdanleaf's (#63), which he himself admitted to be completely random. (With hindsight, he must have voted her precisely because he didn't think she was a wolf.)


Day Two

#161. Discusses the Night's events; not happy about the lack of a Night-kill, since it gives no information.

Comment: This seems much too obvious and open for a wolf to say.

However–

#195.

Pitch has unflatteringly, but dead-accurately described me as "maybe I can be bothered, maybe not," and to be 100% honest, I'm more wrapped up in my paper at the moment than in catching wolves.

I'd prefer to think that speaks for my innocence, given that I tend to be more invested in things as a wolf--and as the Days go on, and there's more to analyze--but that's just me. I believe I have been obliqued accused of being somewhat callous already... let me dig up the quote...

Okay, maybe I exaggerate to say "callous," but it's a nice, hard-boiled accusation that would fit with Pitch's description of me. And, let's be clear: I am a bit callous here. We would have more to go on if we had a cold, dead wolf-kill. At Night 2 in the game, it's arguably more valuable for the village to lose an ordo and gain some concrete evidence than to go kill-less. Obviously, this will vary depending on the situation--for example, in the case of a Ranger-save, at least the Ranger knows who one innocent is, and can do some digging accordingly... but the only people in THIS situation who now know more than they did yesterDay are the BW and the Wolves... none of whom are on the village's side.

Heh--look at that! I'm all worked up now. A good, rousing reply in the next half hour or so might even spur me to more action.

Maybe.

Comment: Oh, I don't like this post. The last part uses many words to say very little; for the rest, Form just analyses himself, and is at pains to point out how his apathy should be taken for a sign of innocence.


#209.Has no time to make a proper decision. Likes Nog's case for Agan being a cobbler, but will not vote her because, "she's much too hot a topic toDay for me to vote for on that reason alone. Without studying it to the extent that it deserves, I don't want to be swept up in something with such highly volatile bandwaggon potential."

Votes Wilwa again, "in the interests of economy", adding that this time she does feel "slightly off" to him.


Day Three

#428. Cast the fourth vote on Shasta. Not much to conclude from that, since Shasta was obviously going down by that point. (Form may have X'd with his actual confession, however.) Rest of this long post is largely devoted to analysing himself again ( ), including discussing his own "lying low" tactics and mentioning how busy he is. He does devote some time to musing on the possible guilt of Agan and Eomer– the former because the doomed Wolftanis had suggested that she and Form be modkilled.


Day Four

#500.

Hopefully, though, you expect nothing else from me at this point, given how the game has gone so far.

In my read-through of posts so far, this is what stuck out to me... largely because I tend to agree--although I'm a bit more willing than Greenie to think they could both be wolves, while conceding that one is, in fact, more likely.

In keeping then, with my yesterDay suspicions about Agan (namely that she was listed with me in Shasta's post for the purposes of exonerating her, convicting me, doing both, or just confusing the village), I'll lean in her direction, though Eomer is giving me bad vibes as well.

I may be on later... but I'm not committing to it.

This post is... partly okay. The okay bit is where he echoes Greenie's argument– adding nothing, but that's acceptable for someone in a hurry, and I admit I did much the same myself. His own reason for suspecting Agan, there, though, is just plain silly. To quote myself on the "alpha wolf" topic, there's no way of telling whether that was a bluff, or a double-bluff, or what. I also don't care for the way he again draws attention to his general lack of involvement. This is getting absurd– I mean, for someone who clams to have been too busy and apathetic throughout the game to do anything at all productive, he's written some quite long posts, and always seems to have a pretty good handle on what's going on.


Conclusions: I hadn't even thought much about Form before– but he really doesn't look too good. At the very least, he's certainly being– how shall I put it?– aggressively unhelpful.

EDIT:formatting.
