WW XXXIII - Other Minds and Hands

[Aganzir]

No use, Volo. They know as well as you who is lying. It's all about time now. They still have a slight chance to win, so of course they want to lynch you.

I cannot be sure that you are a Wolf. You may well be the Cobbler, for all I know. Neither can I be sure of the remaining Wolf or Wolves, although I have some ideas. One step at a time, though. I have two baddies in my sights at the moment, as you well know.

Doesn't that sound more like the typical Ranger-text...

And how do you manage to relate this ("In one trailer, a Downer flipped randomly through a copy of LOTR, then, finding something, sat back and frowned, deep in thought.") to a Cobbler?

How the heck should I know? Perhaps you could elaborate, although don't worry - I can wait 'til the afterthread.

One thing I do know, however, is that section of narrative does not get anywhere near to establishing your claim. And with all the evidence in favour of your claim being a false one, I have little doubt now that you are malign.

I don't propose debating with you any further. There's no point, given your alignment.

I think Volo's almost certainly truthful, but he was getting a tad smug, and the wolves will be pretty clear whether he's innocent or guilty...this may seem like an exciting day, but it's actually pretty mundane. The essential battle has already been fought.

Well thanks. Wouldn't it have been easier just to tell me that I'm being smug and ask me to stop doing that. And now people will think of you as Innocent because you do think that I am truthful... After all, it does make more sense to vote the person who you think of as the Wolf than the person who you feel offencive.

this may seem like an exciting day, but it's actually pretty mundane.

I do agree with this, but still, it isn't a reason to say that you don't care and effect the game in a way "that wouldn't be the way you would do if you played seriously".

I appologise for fitting this pretty much out-of-game rant into the middle of the game, but a rant is a rant, when you rant, you rant.

[Anguirel]

What would life be, my friends, without devious rascals who meddle just for the fun of it and cause a lot of trouble, not least for themselves?

The answer - it would be a life without Anguirel in it.

Ad Ang: Yeah, but you should not vote him just in case someone else turns mad (ha, ha *someone*) and votes him as well. Anyway, I'm leaving toDay, so just in case I'm dead overnight, an advice:

Try to play it on being sure. If you are to lynch someone, then try to lynch primarily:
1. A known Wolf,
2. If you don't have a known Wolf, then it's safer to lynch the known Cobbler, because in a small village a Cobbler almost equals a Wolf, since he can participate in voting. He still counts as Innocent, however, but if the balance is equal, you have to lynch a Wolf and not him, of course. In case it's not already late.
3. If you have nothing of the above, then lynch a likely Wolf.

***********
And, also, I think I was quite a good target for the Wolves, being so vocal and all. So one of the supporting points when decising who is a Wolf and who not might be based upon who voted for me, or at least spoke against me.
This point is also based on that I think - here please note that I don't know if I'm not assuming too much (as I know myself, I probably am) - but they might have thought me a Seer. If anyone, then Mac probably could: he has a habit of pointing out things (to his comrades, probably) and on Day 1, he reacted on my first post like this (boldening mine):

Maybe I'm indeed assuming too much, but I don't see why would Mac quote especially this point. This would mean he'd tell about it also to his comrades later - so they could be specifically aimed against me. Though they probably wouldn't vote for me all (to be not all suspicious), some might. E.g. Shasta's vote, her only post on Day 2, might have been influenced by the thought that I am likely to be killed and her vote will only help it, without him having much problems with it, since he wasn't here all the day, so he "just voted, and all is ok, right?"
But once again, I'm known for overcombining thoughts, so... just what do you yourselves think of it.

Also seeing now what Ang said about Volo, I am somehow supported in my suspicions that Ang's attempt to speak to me "O Curunír, old friend..." was a (rather silly) trick to play this on me. Though I'd like friendly Celeborn, this was fishy, and if you are indeed innocent Ang, you are making unbelievable mess with acting like this.

But, double-think everything I said here, these are just assumptions (everything under the stars). That's just for the case the Wolves choose to try to sway the balance to get rid of me toNight.

Bye, and hopefully toMorrow.
