Now in all seriousness I do have some thoughts: I think Fea is restricted to one line posts and she already goofed when talking about her art project. As for how many different things we have I think we have at least more than one Hunter, Ranger, and Seer. There might even be secret Lovers(I seem to remember that in a Lovers game there were secret Lovers). There might even be a good cobbler(it is possible, behavior modification everyone). As for taking what people post...we were given instructions on how to post and how to act. They could be totally against what we would normally do. Who knows what horrors some have been given? For all you know Nienna, Mira, and I were given the task on Day 2 to start a word association game with rules as follows: every word has to start with the letter p. And those are the only rules. Am I right? I'm not saying. I'm going to go hunt up some food and then meander over to the library to die of a paper. Which actually translates to meander over to the library and pretend to work on paper and refresh this page way to often. Edit: x-posted with Nilp

Hi all, first time I've had a chance to get on toDay but I shall read through the read over the next oh, I don't know, week given how much you've all written . Alright make it a couple of hours at least and then I'll try to return with something useful.

All the Lommies and Nilps will look up and shout "post better!" but we'll look down and whisper "No"!

However, there is only one type of villager who would come up with something like this (there are no wolves!) at this point: a cobbler! Also, Brinn, Miri, and Nienna are obviously cobblers. Quote:

What is THAT? Five pages? I hope it's once again just heartless banter (well, it likely is), but whoever is going to continue in that, I am going to lynch him. Or lynch them all. For surely even one person, however insane, cannot have done this.
Back when I read the thread

Lari, that's an interesting idea. What would a good cobbler do, I wonder?
Nog may have a point about the slip. I had the same thought myself when I read Dury's post. Then again, Nog is a bit quick on the draw there.... the caitiff werebear! Nilp is a bit shady, and I'm considering Nilp'ing him - that is to say, voting myself, Life-of-Brian-suicide-squad style. That'll show 'em! More later. |

And back - that took a lot less time than I'd thought . . .
Well first off I think we need to lynch phantom. Just how many times is he going to get away with being killed and then just being able to pop back up on the thread? For all we know it’ll turn out he wins if everyone ignores him for the rest of the game and then he murders us all. Really the whole of first page just banter. As is the second. More on the third. End of the banter as Durelin pops us and does the one thing that will make her look suspicious – actually thinks about the game. Perhaps she has been given the task of analysing everything, perhaps she is just bored of reading nothing but either way it was going to stand out. No I was wrong, more banter, though there does seem to be more useful stuff from now on. Lommy is the second person to try and make sense – some suspicion of Mira and Nerwen. Thinks Durelin and Izzy seem innocent. And then there was a crosspost –was it Mira she was saying was a Cobbler? Wilwa sees Durelin, Lommy and Rikae as the most logical, but logical doesn’t equal innocent. Thinks one of Mira, Lari, Brinn and Nienna are likely to be evil due to the chattering. Lari – some interesting thoughts there. Nog – interesting thought about Durelin but I think she was just listing everything. Mac is listing Cobblers. As much fun as this game is I can sense we might have some problems with figuring out anything very helpful! It seems that people are focusing on that little group of chatterers which might be a good idea. One of them more than likely has been told to be noisy but I doubt all of them would have been given the same instruction.

Anyways, I only have about 3.5 more hours before I need to go to work, then when I come back I'll only have 1 hour to vote and such before I need to sleep. So I want this to get a bit more exciting please. Once there's been an entire Day and Night phase we should have more to go on. But for now what we should be able to establish is:
So besides that I don't think there's much more we can establish, correct me of course if you disagree. Wouldn't surprise me if there are made up roles, but we shouldn't sit around trying to guess them. And if there's like a were-goose or something we won't know until there's been a Night phase and we see how many deaths there are. So ya, I wouldn't suggest we dwell on this too much though, it being Day 1 we don't have a lot to go on. I saw we just kinda go with the flow, see what our Moddess throws at us and just have fun with it! woah, x'posted since Maca's first one after my last one

Likewise with the others. I think there was supposed to be a hunter&ranger as well as a Seer. With the others, I agree. (Only see my above post about Cobblers.)

X Were-ducks Modified Seer Modified Ranger Modified Cobbler Possible Modified Werebear Possible Hunter Lovers (possibly multiples pairs) Other secret roles So I guess we're guaranteed a Seer and Ranger, and maybe a Hunter. We won't know whether there is a bear until ToMorrow, and plus all the numbers of each are unsure. Interesting... x'posted with Durelin...well there you have it

Okay, so I see. And I presume the Hunter&co who were "possible" ARE indeed there (that means also the Werebear), because there's quite lot of us. I don't think there will be any too significant "other" roles, except for some Cobbler-like folks or Nerwen-fangirls etc. Certainly not any other Were-spirit-bear-immortal-whatever.

Just a quick question though I know we should move on from discussing the roles...
So, lovers. If one dies, the other dies. In the past I believe they were usually between a werecreature and a non-werecreature, but is that actually usually the case? And if so, then is the werecreatures lover essentially akin to a cobbler even if they are not specifically the 'cobbler'? Unfortunately I have to run. Sorry to leave everyone with that, basically adding to the confusion, but I don't remember the last time I played in a game involving lovers. |

x'posted with Durelin Well, it could be that it is a were-duck and ord coupling but the ord in the relationship doesn't know that her lover is evilness. That way she would be innocent but technically would be helping to keep a were-duck from being lynched, so like a cobbler by proxy. That's one possibility. Or, two ducks could be lovers, be able to PM at all times, and if we lynch one then the other goes down too. Or just two goodies, like a gifted and an ord, or two gifteds or two ords. There's lots of combinations.

I am sorry I haven't posted before. This is because having not actually agreed definitively to participate in this game I have been being following Voltaire's advice in the pleasantly suprising springlike weather my part of the world has been experiencing and havent' been on line for three days.
However after the last game, it seems my will is irrelevant to my participation so in this- is this what they call a meta-existence? I may as well try and work out what on earth is going on.... *sighs* Exixtence - without him, what is the point? Phantom? Whyfor did you go and leave me?

Durelin's reply to Nogrod's point strikes me as fishy (Nogrod is just Nogrod... eh?).
I'm a bit queasy about the recent lovers discussion. There might be the possibility of "blind lovers", who have to guess their partner's identity. Same with the cobbler discussion before. I can see secret messages flying left and right. Last edited by Macalaure; 03-18-2009 at 12:32 PM. Reason: changed a word I figured out doesn't exist. :o |

I can see you flying left and right here, so watching you. (And also accusing people who are discussing, completely legitimely - I hope - that.) But the idea of "blind lovers" is also not as impossible, even though in this setting it would be quite hard role to play.

Does this make you guilty? No. You might be a lover, but the problem is: there's no telling of what sort, and blindly lynching lovers is the path to defeat. I'm watching you, too, though. |

Just a meta-comment before I start looking backwards a bit more closely. Even if it is legitimate, I don't see there being a host of reasons to discuss the possible roles there are on Day1 too extensively in a game where everyone has a role of sorts and not all roles are even known. But if you have nothing else to go for let's then rather discuss the guidelines / orders different people may have. It looks like a good guess that Dury needs to produce tallies or statistics - and that Fea has been told not to banter (that would explain why she complained her assignment being so hard: her friends having fun-banter to no end and she was not allowed to join it!). But not all guidelines concern themselves with the "playing-style" of the player. Well, mine doesn't. I have been told of different kind of requirements. I'm not sure if we should talk openly about our own guidelines / orders as I feel it would be a bit against the spirit of the game at least this early (and surely anyone can claim anything) - but we should be able to speculate over that of other players as it might help us in making up our minds when voting - that we don't vote for people for reasons that have to do more with the ModDuck's orders than the lynchee's possible role. What I mean is "let's lynch Fea because she doesn't banter in this game" would be a bad reason to lynch her in this game - at least before something more enlightening comes to the fore. Which doesn't say we shouldn't lynch her in principle... Having better grasp on these guidelines / orders everyone has to obey we could in the best case avoid some stupid lynches. Btw. I find Rikae's comment here interesting if not even a bit troubling: Quote:
