Out of the frying pan....
The good folk of Dol Amroth had departed, reeling in shock that they had been fooled by an impostor in the guise of their own candidate and wondered at the skill of the critics. The other singers retired once more to their dressing rooms - scarce relieved by the knowledge that there was one critic fewer when two yet remained.
They were right to be worried .... like a homeopathic remedy their potency increased as the amount reduced... "Lax intonation, lacks timbre, lacks warmth, ..." The traumatised and vulnerable mezzo from Harad fled from the unseen critics clutching her hastily gathered possessions and was resolving never to set foot in this barbarous land again when she ran straight in to the baritone from Lossarnach. He was very tall, very handsome... maybe Gondor had some redeeming qualities. She realised that he was holding a suitcase ... "Where are you going? " she asked as he helped her pick up her belongings .... "I've had enough of this competition ..I'm going home ....come with me its not far and you will be safe.. from the critics there " he said persuasively .. Brinniel took some persuading but eventually decided she was safer following Bowissimo than risking the critics again and the pair left the Opera House for the last time. The baritone's departure would be a suprise to all but one would be particularly furious that the bond they shared had meant so little to him that he had left without a word and with another singer.

Sorry to ruin your plans but
I am Bowie's soulmate.
Therefore I would kindly request not to be lynched today. I am planning to kill someone today because this is probably my last chance. I am under the impression that the person in question will be killed once I have submitted their name in & Mith is around, ie already before the end of the day. So if you need some actual proof about my innocence... Also, it's no coincidence I put David Bowie quotes or slight alterations of them here and there in my posts and Strongbow quoted Lion King. If you want a list, here it is: Quote:
And no I have no idea what has happened to him. Last time I talked to him was on day 2 I think. As for my revenge kill, I have some options. However I would gladly like to see suggestions from you others. I still don't know why tgwbs put me together with Fea. It's certain that he never dreamed of me though. Maybe he wanted to mislead the wolves or then he was just so certain about my guilt. I want to go through Boro's posts and see if there's anything strange at some point today. So was Brinn chased away by the critics or did she withdraw?

If the narration is too obscure...
Brinniel was the critics' target. Bowie was modfired ..I couldn't resist the duet. Still trying to find something worthy of Fea....

I was just going to suggest the other soulmate should stay hidden so not to obscure data/information before making a kill choice.
Well, now that's pointless, thanks Agan. P.S. I'm convinced. And that also means I now have to scrap my entire opening post, because I was going to set up a defense of monstrous proportions for you. So, thank you times deux.

Early on I thought Bowie and Sally were the pair (because they both made the same error in spelling), but after I questioned Sally about her spelling and she didn't respond to it in the expected way, I scratched that idea. So all I was left with was that Bowie had made that one oddly worded post. Surely it had to mean something. And Google told me it did.

That was unexpected.
Boromir seemed to think Aganzir was gifted, yesterday, but then she denied it. Well, I am glad that we do not have to waste another lynching opportunity - I was quite disappointed that Fea and Aganzir were not killed in one blow, but now it is evident that TGWBS did not dream of both after all and we can maybe find a known innocent in his posts (though I doubt it will be obvious enough for us to fully trust such a hint). I will have a look through some of the previous posts now that we have some more information, though I'll leave analysing Fea's contributions to someone less prone to frustration. |

I considered staying hidden but decided I wasn't in a mood for defending myself the whole day, especially as all the evidence pretty much pointed at me. And you're welcome, Boro.
Quote:
I'm curious about how many caught the hint(s). As far as I know, at least sally and Fea (and tgwbs, but he clearly didn't notice anything ) are familiar with the Lion King. Given that, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the wolves had been aware of us for some time already. I would suppose they wanted to get rid of us as soon as possible, so I'll probably want to take a look at those who suspected me or really wanted a double lynch yesterday. Of course different wolves may have reacted differently, though, and it's not certain they even knew of us.

So Brinn and Strongbow are gone? Ok then.
Well, I wish I was more aquanited with The Lion King now. And considering I spent most of the summer listening to "Be Prepared"(it was shuffled one day and I kind of got hooked) I should have caught something. Then again, I'm not at all familiar with David Bowie. I think I need to go back through the posts and see who thought Brinn was suspicious as well as who she was suspicious of. That might give a clue as to who killed her.

It's good that Aganzir has a proof of her role, she probably wouldn't have been believed otherwise (at least not by me).
If she was not tgwbs's second dream, then either he dreamt of Fea in Night 2 only (hence he was only certain of her being a critic from then on) and perhaps Boro in Night 1, or I fear he probably dreamt of me in Night 2, hence his suspicion of Aganzir (her vote for Nogrod and her case against me). I'm a bit surprised about the kill. Brinniel has often been killed when nobody better was to be found, but I'd say this time there was. I need to have a look at her. |

I'm a bit sick today, so I only took a look at Brinn's posts from yesterDay.
She's careful about conclusions from the seer's posts and isn't even certain of Fea. She thus is against the double lynch, which must've put her higher on the critics' wish list. She let go of Gollum, which makes him look even more innocent to me. She then was one of the few ones who looked at the Ilya voting. Sadly, I'm the one who comes out most suspicious. Boro and Kath are considered more innocent. After her vote she said she wanted to give an analysis of everyone but didn't have the time. (Could one of the critics be a submarine-type who was afraid of no longer floating by after that analysis?) She's suspicious of Sally. Conclusion (if you can call it that): Sally doesn't look too well. Gollum is probably innocent. Boro and Kath look innocent, too, but both are able to pull a bluff like this and kill somebody who is likely to defend them. Neither is on top of my list right now, though. |

On Boro & Fea's interaction
On day 1 Boro deduced Fea had made a fake confession when saying she was a wolf. He also said that tgwbs's and Fea's lists were different from Brinn's, whose list was more suspicious as she looked like she didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Well Brinn was an ordo whereas both tgwbs and Fea had special roles.
Then there's this little exchange concerning Fea & phantom's code talk, which I believe was one of the things that I found a bit alarming at first. However all the time that I was reading through Fea's posts I thought it was about communication between a critic and the cobbler so that might explain it. It's mostly the catching things part... Quote:
Boro what did you mean with the following? Quote:
While reading through Fea's posts after tgwbs's death, I noticed her use of the word follow. Dunno if it means anything, but it's repeated thrice, which seems to me to be more than necessary. Underlinings mine. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Another quote with follow, and I really have no idea if this means anything or not. Quote:
Quote:
Tgwbs had Boro listed as the most innocent but I don't know if it means anything. Despite this all I'm inclined to believe he dreamed of Fea, maybe on night 1, just because it would suit tgwbseer so well. And it's possible he put my name next to Fea's just so as not to be so obvious, or because he thought I looked as suspicious as she (it happens surprisingly often when people play with me for the first time in ages). He found Boro innocent already on day 1, and I can't see why he'd later dream of someone he considered innocent. An innocent Mac could have been his night 2 dream, especially given his sudden turn on me then. A Boro dream is possible but nothing that should be taken for granted. ** What on earth is this? Quote:
Also Boro, when did you figure out my role? And people, I haven't decided yet who I am going to kill, and I'd like to know your opinions as well because otherwise there's a risk I only choose between those I've paid more attention thus far. Mac, it's also possible the wolves wanted to encourage suspicions against an innocent sally when killing Brinn. edit: xed with two Gollums

For what seems the 800th time I got distracted or something and didn't post what I typed up. I'm not holding up to my obligations to this game very well. I'll try to finish this analysis quick.

TGWBS on Day 2-
Quote:
And notice that his statement about Boro is the shortest and most clear. TGWBS knew he was the Seer when he said it, so do you think he'd say that if he hadn't dreamed of Boro? He didn't say "little reason to suspect". He said "No reason to suspect". And added "Feel innocent". It seems to me that Boro=innocent is the most likely Night 2 dream. Yeah, yeah, maybe not. But I certainly wouldn't take a shot in that direction. I think you should all just take a leap off a cliff and agree to trust Boro completely. If you're wrong- oh well. You must take risks to pull off a great performance. But if you're right, the Critics will have no choice but to bump him off, and it is always nice to force the hand of the enemy.

The one time I remember her being a wolf, she came out on Day 1 (I think first post) and said it, she ended up being lynched on Day 1, but that was primarily because I was the seer and dreamt her Night 1. I fought my tail off to get her lynched Day 1, without making it clear to everyone I was the seer. So, this time I was waiting for some kind of other random claim at being a soulmate, divo...whatever, which I don't think she did here. She admitted to being a critic on Day 1, and then later tried to look like the Cobbler. It's possible that tgwbs saw Fea saying she was a critic right off the bat, and thought "that's exactly was a critic-Fea would do - let me see" and dreamt her Night 2. I guess either Night 1 or night 2, doesn't matter anymore, tgwbs definitely had one dream on Fea. Quote:
Basically I was going to say, what's Gwath's points in the words tgwbs chose? Or I didn't really think it was that big of a deal? I think "guilty" and "innocent" is the way tgwbs chooses to write, while others like to go for "suspicious" and "unsuspicious," pretty much it doesn't mean anything. I mean I use the word "see" all the time, doesn't mean I'm the seer, it's just the way I write. Also, I highly doubted a wolf-Fea would have incriminated one of her partners the way she did to you. But that's all really a moot point now. Quote:
I really have no idea about suspicions right now. I think Kath, Gwath, and Lari all deserve a little pressure though.

My Big Mac Analysis
Day 1
Post 1: Says he thought the game would begin tomorrow. Jokes about Boro making frivolous votes on him (Mac). Decided not to try to figure out who has which role and who is the most dangerous. Disagrees with half of what had been said so far, thought phantom was not evil, and thought he could trust Ilya. Doesn't trust Menel. Post 2: Says he has nothing funny to say. Makes quick list of who has posted so far: Quote:
Says that for the following days he he should be around at the DL, but today he needed to vote early. Claims to be disappointed with the number posts and even more disturbed with their shallow content. Says he will probably vote Menel. Asks someone to be very suspicious in the next half hour. Post 4: Jokes with TGWBW's statement that he hadn't made a good explanation of his thought process. Post 5: Votes Menel with no reason included in the post Day 2 Post 1: Complains that the rest of the opera could have done better than to double-lynch two ordos. Comments on phantom's new standing in the game. Apologizes (to late) to Menel, saying he would have withdrawn his vote had he seen Menel's responses to his votes. Challenges Boro's statement that he (Mac) made an "easy way out to slide by the day". Makes an overview of the previous day's voting: Quote:
Lastly he says something about something which I'm not up to date with. Post 2: Tries to reason with Agan regarding her suspicion on him. Agrees with Brinn that the fact that "everyone" is focusing on Nog's death and not Menel's is disturbing. Post 3: ... is below: Quote:
Quote:
Post 5: is enormous: Quote:
Post 6: states suspicions: Quote:
Post 7: http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpos...&postcount=333 Has to many quotes to place here. Post 8: *yawns* Um, this would be hard to explain. See below: http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpos...&postcount=355 You are getting harder and harder to understand, Mac! Post 9: Quote:

Slight apology:
Due to RL stuff(known as busiest day ever!) I probably won't be around at all, possibly not till voting. Then I will try to get back and vote but that depends on how long convocation practice is as well as how much reading I get done for the class I have a test in. Sorry!

Ok, well, I was pretty busy today, but here I am now.
Gollum! I was hoping you'd actually analyze Mac, rather than just posting quotes. Can we expect to hear your opinions on him later? Mac's persistent support of a double-lynch yesterDay seems odd to me, given the disastrous consequences of the previous double-lynch. I realize that tgwbs had listed both Fea and Aganzir under "most guilty," but I don't think that would have been enough reason to lynch both. The potential pay-off did not outweigh the potential negative consequences. Boro - that was indeed me who pointed out that tgwbs short had referred to Fea and Agan as "most guilty." It's obvious now that he just meant it in the sense of "most suspicious" - well, hang on. He would, had he dreamed of Agan, have interpreted her soulmate role as an innocent rather than guilty role, right? Yeah I guess that's a safe assumption. Aganzir - how does your soulmate-vengeance-kill work exactly? Time to sleep. Another early morning coming up. P.S. Ok, you know what? I was reading back some more, and it seems I was making the Mac/double-lynch thing into more of an issue than I should have, since Mac basically ended up agreeing, at the end of the Day, that it wasn't worth it. Sorry.

Okay, so I know this is the lamest excuse ever, but I had a really shiny post (full analysis of all players complete with some lyrics to describe my opinion of them) and it got eaten. I'm terribly sorry, but I'm not doing it again, at least not toDay.
For now, please accept my humble offering of a suspicion list and let me get to sleep. Suspicious: Mac Gollum Cailin/Eomer In the middle/no idea/need to look at again to remember what I thought: Shasta Gwath Lari Kath Innocent: Boro Agan Again, my sincerest apologies. I'll explain my reasons for suspecting the three I've named in the morning, assuming that I get up on time. If not, even more apologies and a promise to make another post toMorrow should I survive. Gah. It's been a heck of a day and I feel like a slacker. Sorry, guys. *toddles off for bed*

I am not so sure about Boromir.
I still maintain that a double-lynch yesterday was the rational thing to do, and that it would only have worked against the village in case of a gifted Aganzir (and it turns out that she is indeed gifted and able to prove it). However, had she not been gifted, but ordinary, we would still have lynched her today and wasted valuable time in finding the critics. An elaborate defense of Aganzir without knowing her role sounds like Cobbler-ish behaviour... Everyone knows that had she not been the soulmate, the village would have been obliged to lynch Aganzir, simply because the Seer's legacy is the closest thing to evidence a village can have. Perhaps this is due to personal experiences: every time another villager has defended me in the past, especially when I was Gifted, it turned out this seemingly helpful person was a wolf (I remember an occasion with our lovely TGWBS and me wasting my Ranger powers defending his lycantropic skin every night) and we are all so easily won. I have no intention to take the phantom's proposed leap of faith here. |

Gwathagorio
On day 1 Gwath said to phantom that he shouldn't assume he had been dreamed of. Back then I thought it could be a seer hint but didn't pursue the idea further as there seemed to be no reason later. He also warned phantom about assuming that ordos try to get killed instead of gifteds.
He said to Fea that ignoring her was the best thing we could do until she stopped confusing us and started actually playing. Nog accused him based on this, saying he was too eager to show he was a decent player himself. I still don't quite agree with Nog, and I think Gwath's response was reasonable ("Nogrod attempts to make himself look good by accusing me of trying to make myself look good."). Gwath was suspicious of Nog for his case against him but said he wouldn't vote him yet (which he did, after all), and Lari who, in his opinion, didn't say anything. He said he would need more time to decide if it was just natural lack of confidence or something more sinister. 'Something more sinister' is a phrase that always tips me off. There's just something so wolfish in it. He had noticed Nog's divo comment but assumed it was a joke. Someone brought up a point that innocents should have been careful about lynching Nog after that, but I can hardly blame him, voting for Nog myself too. On day 2 Gwath defended himself against Mac, who had called his vote careless, by saying their votes weren't very different in terms of context and consequences, and that Mac had actually less reasons to vote for Menel than Gwath had for Nog. I agree with this, but on the other hand I'm still rather suspicious of Mac. I don't think they're both wolves. Gwath responded reasonably to Boro's statement that he & Nog's argument had been over semantics ie meaningless crap. He was a bit suspicious of sally and didn't like the Gollum votes. He voted for sally but crossed with deadline. Okay on to day 3... Gwath voiced the obvious ie we should seriously consider lynching the people the seer suspected the most. He pointed out tgwbs had said most guilty instead of most suspicious, but as Boro already said different people have different ways to phrase things. If I label people either as Guilty, Innocent or Neither, I don't seriously mean that half the people don't have a role. If he was Fea's fellow critic, I'm not sure he would have brought up more points against her. However we probably shouldn't pay much attention to who were all for lynching Fea and who were wavering since I'm rather sure the wolves just decided to sacrifice her. Gwath thought I deserved as much attention as Fea but that we shouldn't double lynch us, seeing what happened last time. However here the situation was somewhat different. On day 1 the double lynch was an accident and there was no spectacular evidence against either lynchee, whereas here we were the main suspects of the seer. Therefore an innocent would probably have thought that the risk of a catastrophical double lynch was considerably smaller than on day 1. Did the wolves have any inkling as to who the cobbler is? If they did, they were probably for a double lynching of Fea and me yesterday. But if they didn't and eg thought I was the cobbler (since I was listed as equally guilty as Fea), I think they would have been against it. Gwath agreed with Gollum once he had asked why not double lynch us. I don't like it very much because now, had we been double lynched, he could have accused Gollum of making him believe it was a good idea. He also said he hadn't said we should kill us both, just that we should seriously consider doing so as there was still a chance tgwbs hadn't dreamed of either. While it is possible he tried to defend his fellow (which would have been quite useless at that point though), it makes me feel better about him. A wolf would probably have gone after us both so as to minimize their losses. He ended up voting for me. When Fea retracted and voted herself, Gwath thought it looked suspicious and said it really looked like Fea didn't want a double lynch. I don't think his reaction is very suspicious. Today Gwath thought Mac's support of double lynch seemed odd given the consequences of the previous double lynch. Rather hypocritical. Yesterday Gwath himself was ready to lynch us both. I don't like the way he turns against Mac now. ** As for interaction between Gwath and Fea, on day 1 she quoted him and told who her favourite movie villain is. She also said Gwath should be lynched instead of her for forgetting that the point of the game is to amuse Mith, which Fea was doing. But this was Fea's list with meta-reasons. When Nog accused Gwath of overreacting to suspicions, Fea vaguely defended him, saying innocents tend to get more irritated of being unjustly suspected. She added, though, that in her opinion wolves become hostile over little suspicions whereas ordos react to major ones. So in the end she seemed to reach no conclusion about Gwath and both defended and accused him within a few sentences. Gwath was also on her list of possible voting candidates. On day 2 Fea put Gwath in her Concerned category along with Boro and Ilya, both of whom probably innocent, and said she intended to vote for him. I wonder if she had treated a fellow like that on day 2 as he wasn't *that* suspected. In the end she voted Ilya though, saying she didn't have time to substantiate any arguments against Gwath. ** I would be rather willing to assume that either Mac or Gwath is a critic. Of those Mac looks more suspicious to me right now, but if one dies and turns out to be innocent, the other deserves to be looked at closely. I don't think they both are wolves, though. The interaction between them and Fea together doesn't look that wolfish. edit: xed with Cailín & two Gwaths

Grr now I can't go to eat yet because I have to reply to this!

Also, it's twisting the truth to claim that lynching me today would have wasted time to find the critics. The only thing that would have wasted time would have been to automatically assume that I was a wolf and interpret everything in that light today. I dare guess you wouldn't have concentrated only on me today anyway, although that's certainly what the wolves would have tried to do. Quote:

Looking forward to the rest of your analysis. Quote:

Rikae just told me, if you have no idea who a critic is, lynch an idiot. I better get myself some ideas soon... Gwath is still eyebrow-raising, though. He and Sally are not wolves together - his vote pretty much fixes that now. Aganzir: it would be best to make up your mind before all the votes go around, so that we're not voting for dead people. PS: Sally, I usually write my posts in Word and copy them into the editor only to edit the tags in. If my browser eats a post, I always still have the original. xed with Aganzir's Gwathalysis and everything after. |

Thanks for the tip, love. Unfortunately, it was my entire computer that crashed, not the internet. Okay, so I'm at work but they told me I'm not really working until 11 (it's a bit after 9) so I'm on the computer there and will do my best to work up some posts. Just give me a couple minutes to get settled and I'll be back.

And I am not twisting the truth. I do not necessarily count discussion as very productive in finding critics. Call me crude, but it is the lynching that matters. And we would have lynched you, as you very well know. |

Right now I think it's going to be either Cailín or Mac, although I'm considering also Gwath. I could of course take someone I have no idea about, like Shasta or Gollum, but currently I'm not inclined to do so. By the way, I wonder if the diva/divo should start to think about revealing at some point. As the cobbler is still alive it's possible the critics already know xer identity, and I wouldn't mind knowing that the person I kill is not the diva/o. Plus I think we could do with a known innocent. Cailín, you were talking about how the situation would have looked if I had been an ordo, and that's what I replied to. I fail to see what your response has to do with mine. If you are not twisting the truth, yours is different from mine (hmm I wonder if this makes you a baddie ). We have Fea and her interaction with others, which, I admit, don't provide us with much information though. We can make analyses that help us later even if we lynch an innocent. Etc. So no, I don't think only lynching matters.

Thanks sweetie. You just made my life a bit easier. I'm here and currently doing my Cailin/Eomer analysis. Done sometime soon.

Aganzir, I am sorry you fail to see my meaning and the rational, mathematical thought process that informed my decision. Macalaure is obviously on the same page, but I do not trust him either.
Do not let your personal disagreement with me cloud your judgement. Last edited by Cailín; 01-15-2009 at 09:52 AM. Reason: Cross-posted with Sally. I am eager to see that, hope she keeps her promise! :) |

No, no, he's an Ordo, and thus he fears death at night. No doubt that is why he chose to greet the village the way he did- with a pseudonym. He greeted us as "Smithee" (from "Alan Smithee" I assume), the director's version of "Walter Plinge". He wanted to plant the idea with the Wolves from the beginning that he was Walter, thus decreasing his chances of dying and increasing the chances that the real Walter would be done in. Very nice, Boro. It's something I would have done were it not for the fact that my highest calling was to court death and thus prove my divine status.

Cailín, sorry if it wasn't clear enough but I would like you to elaborate what you meant by Quote:
Also, I don't let my disagreement with you cloud my judgement. You and Mac have been my options ever since I knew Bowie would get modkilled, and that is because I find you suspicious, not because I disagree with you. edit: xed with phantom
