I am feeling much better about Greenie after toDay's posting, and even Nog's posts are feeling more like a frustrated innocent than a wolf...and I feel good about Shasta and Pitchie, too. Basically...who's up for an Agan lynch?

Alright, I've got to go read about Sicilians fighting some Athenians, so I'll go ahead and

++Agan

Because, of all the people who have been posting at all yesterDay or toDay, she's the only one who consistantly gives me a funny taste in my mouth - for agreeing with Nog so much yesterDay (that's why I didn't think they could be in a wolf-pack together; they were arguing too similarly. But, as I've started to reconsider my suspicion of Nog because of his posting toDay, I've reopened the question of Agan's guilt) and for her not exactly helpful arguementativeness throughout the game.

EDIT: xed with Nog

I'll go with it then as it seems the most right thing to do now.

I know Greenie can fool me big time, but considering the very slight odds of getting a wolf by lynching a quiet person (and the justified case of a moral victory if the submarines win in the end) and the risk of Greenie being after all an innocent one I feel more comfortable with this.

We'd at least be hanging someone with no good intentions.


Good Night and good luck!

So let me get this straight....

Agan is a cobbler; thus sayeth Nog. But Nog is acting strangely as far as I can see it, so while I'm inclined to believe him, I'm not inclined to trust his motives. Bom is clearly insane and, as always, a self-confessed cobbler. This time I'm not reacting to it, at least at this stage in the game. The interaction between Pitch and Agan is interesting to me, so I'm thinking I'd vote for one of them, but that would be agreeing with Nog, another person I suspect, so I'm not entirely sure what to do.

Boro, darling, can't you just vote for me?

Dead line. Stop posting.

(Definitely don't post after this. I saw the list of non-votes and I am not a happy person - unless there's like 4 cross votes with this post).

Dawn came again for most of the villagers of Lake-town, but as the previous dawn, it was a red one. And all understood that meant there was at least another death in the night.

"Where's the shepherd?" asked Bom as the townsfolk began to gather together again.

"He likes keeping his flock closer to the mountains." said Galadriel55. "He's got a further walk. Or maybe he's still asleep?"

Most looked as if they wanted to believe her, but Nerwen had already began to tear up and the rest knew he was likely the next victim. As if they were led against their will, the people made their way towards the mountains.

There was no sign of Pitch, but huddled around in a circle were his flock of sheep. sally broke through the wall of baaa's and wool to find Pitch bloody and maimed on the grass. It was clear the werewolves got to him and the sheep were lamenting over their shepherd, or they were just dumb sheep.

"How odd?" chuckled the Undertaker. "Who knew a pack of wolves that didn't like sheep?"

The Undertaker may have been right, but the people of Esgaroth understood now...they were the sheep. The Shepherd was another ordo, but time was running out if they didn't find the wolf-pack quickly.

LIVING

Bom...Cobbler.
Galadriel55...Cook.
Greenie...Undertaker.
Kitanna...Cooper.
Loslote...Candlestick Maker.
Nogrod...Wine-maker from Dorwiniondil.
Nerwen...Town crier.
Sally...most prestigious Musician and Poet of Lake-town.
Shasta...Notable miscreant.

DEAD

Boro...King's Secretary - Night 1
Inziladun...Furrier (Ordo) - Day 1
Kath...Baker (Ordo) - Night 2.
Agan...Baker's wife (Ordo) - Day 2
Pitch...Shepherd (Ordo) - Night 3

It's now Day 3.

And I was worried there wouldn't be enough Ordos in this village.

Noooo!!! What has our shepherd ever done to you wolves? He's not a boy, and he didn't cry "wolf"...

Or did he? I'm going over his posts.

Galadriel, please answer a question for me.

Are you an ordo? Or do you have a specific role? Please don't say which one, and of course don't expect me to necessarily believe you, but answer nonetheless.

What kind of question is this? We're all ordos here, remember? It's just that some of us secretly aren't, and they won't tell you about it. I'm just as ordinary as you are, or seem, or try to seem. And if you're sensible you wouldn't pay too much attention to that last sentence, because everyone would tell you that, regardless of role.

What exactly is the point of your question? And what did you expect for an answer?

And I smell something in your post. If you ask a person to tell you if they have a special role, you might as well ask which one. Like it helps anyone if it's kept quiet. Why does your post alarm me so much? (rhetorical question)




Anyways. I've skimmed the thread and found nothing extraordinary (no pun intended) about our deceased shepherd - may he rest in peace - except that he suspected Kit strongly enough to vote her, but gave her a pass for RL reasons. I'm not sure that it means anything, but that's that.

Nog, on the other hand, is more clear. I doubt he expects to live through toDay, but time will tell. He could be a wolf trying to look like a cobbler, but this is unlikely since he knew he'd be revealed after Agan's death. An even more unlikely possibility is that he's an innocent who was sure he caught Agancobbler and was impersonating the Seer and killing two hares at the same time (getting rid of the cobbler and protecting the real Seer). The likeliest option is that he's a cobbler who impersonated the Seer who labeled Agan with his own role, thus ensuring his death - but helping the wolves tremendously. And we cannot afford to lose more people.

Looking at the numbers, we have a ratio of 1:1:1 of ordos to wolves to gifteds. We have 1/3 chance of lynching either one. We have to choose very carefully toDay.

I'd rather hear Agan reply to what's been said in her absence.

I'd like to give both Nog and Greenie another Day, Shasta as well, and I've seen nothing particularly furry in Lottie (yet). So as far as I'm concerned, you can safely go to bed, Nog.


EDIT: xed with The Man Himself.

So sorry it took me so long to get back, we started writing Joulu cards and time passed quicker than I thought.

I wouldn't say I trusted him enough to save his life yesterday... I just had decided to trust him, if that makes sense. I am reckless on day 1s. I usually calm down a bit later on, and the difference between yesterday and today was that I decided to stop not treating him critically.
I didn't intend to pose as the seer if that's what you guys think - or I kind of did, but didn't really. Anyway having done what I did, I can now look back and see people's reactions. Shasta's is my favourite: he basically writes a post with comments that strongly emphasise my change of mind, but the only thing he sees about them is my being a villain. I wonder why.

Just so you know, you just made an entire apartment roar with laughter.

I intend to vote for Shasta today, but I could also go for Greenie or Nog.
