I'm afraid that I must be off to bed soon, and that I must get up early tomorrow and won't be near a computer for the deadline, I think I must give my vote now, as to prevent anymore knives at throats. I know this is a classic cliche way of landing in the suspicion bin, but it is better than not voting at all and ending in it anyways...
Simply, I will not be able to vote by the deadline if I do not vote now. So, bear with me on the account that I have a busy early day schedule tomorrow, and no computer in sight to service me. By the logical justification of non-writing and voting, there are these players as follows subject to suspicion based upon this fact: Thinlomien Witch Queen That is all I can say upon the matter, because it is the first day, and we have no evidence to use by than that. Valesse has already written, and thus falls out of my suspicion. So has JennyHallu, and Roe_Aoife. It is the first day, and they have remained to the promise of the rules, and presented themselves as such. So have all of us who have, unless we start to bring ourselves to the cleaners... Hopefully, we won't become that desperate... Yes, since in first day accordance it is logical to spread the votes due to no evidence that can be evoked is a good plan, but I am afraid we've ran against it a bit too much. To chase all of the foxes out of the holes is logical in finding the needed culprit, it is not wise to only chase a few out and then start to interrogate them as your true suspects snicker off and away. To be random seems to work, but don't run away with your characterization to the point where it's impossible to guess what is happening. ... Aye, first day madness. If only there was enough evidence to stand upon but there never is, except a few fun flings to the wind at suspicions. Which are nothing less than wicked fun with each other's minds... Al right then, my vote might as well come. I wish I could stay up and read more, but i'm tired and have to go sleep now or I am going to be late, thus ruining my day tomorrow... Sorry, it's a control thing in my mornings, I must have them lock, stock and barrel proof. My only suspisions, because I am not much of a personality judge, and I only trust evidence in rules when needed are Thinlomien and Witch Queen. I know, hate me tomorrow, but they have not posted yet, so in accordance with the rules, I have natural suspicion. Gah! I detest first days... Well, I shall leave the rest up to chance by the flip of a coin. Thinlo = heads WQ = sails Here's the coin if you want evidence, though that's all I can give to how it looks like and that it is all that I have on hand. Heads, well, that's all I can say for now. Hopefully this first day madness wears off and we get some real evidence. I need some more reason and logic than this, or I shall go insane!... Sorry for the coin business. ++Thinlomien Goodnight everyone, I will be back at 3 in the afternoon ( PST time...), hopefully before too much development in our game. Sincerely, Ka

It seems that you shouldn't sleep,
or neither should a schoolday you busy keep - otherwise you'll be you'll be lynched by your own kind a bit unfair I do that find. Anyway, I'm here now. Nogrod, I have a question. You say: Quote:

Ka...I'm afraid I don't agree with your suspicions. Six hours away from the deadline, we still need to give time to those who are silent. With all but one of us now checking in, it is vastly more likely that all three wolves are already busily trying to subvert us. And on the first day, really our posts or no-posts give us almost nothing to go on. I must say, at this point I would be far more likely to suspect Anguirel for obscuring early thoughts in verse, or Valier for brandishing a "vhip" and generally relishing the prospect of pain.
But for this fact: Sleepy did tell us that there were hints in his part of the story. Anguirel makes an excellent point. SO... I'm going to get busy and see if I can find any clues. I'd suggest you all do the same.

Hello all, just checking in. I'm going to review all this later in the afternoon and see if anything at all can be gleaned from what's been posted. My vote will most likely be a random one, though.

Great to see some life in this now quiet village. Jenny, I didn't think of that before, but I think you make a good point. If there's any base to lay the suspicions on it's hiding behind roles Valier's v and Anguirel's poems. I check the thread if there are any more such people.

Quadrupule (sp?) posting
Sorry for flooding this thread up but as there's no one else active and I'm rereading the thread and finding new things all the time. And I'm under the impression that editing posts (except because of mentioning cross-posting or correcting typos) is not preferable in a WW game.

I have governing appointments elsewhere and shan't be albe to return, I'm a firm believer in voting early then not at all.
This being first DAY and not much to go on I find Valier, JennyHallu and Naria seems especially concerned about 'quiets' being looked at-perhaps wanting to keep open a hiding place? They do make some valid points but it can be said for all styles of posting, as for me, I'd rather weed out those less likely to leave enough to analyze. However, all this is not much to go on but we need to start somewhere... Quote:

Sextet/Sixble/Whatever posting
I know I must seem like a psychopate or something, but please bear with me and my endless posting.
When there's no one else to argue with, I find myself arguing with myself. Quote:
I suspect more the nonsense-posters than silent ones. If now would be the voting time, I'd rather vote for Gil, who has this far posted just nonsense than WQ, who has just been absent. EDIT: Crossposted with Holbytlass. So I'm not sextet-posting! Hooray!

Triple posting - again
----------------- Quote:
P.S. It just came to my mind that if they are playing well they're the people no one has yet suspected. So all the same I could go around and accuse everybody and wouldn't probably get any wiser. Though, it's always interesting to see how people react to accusations... P.P.S. The votes this far: THE Ka - Thinlómien Holbytlass - Naria

Maybe I should answer you this way. What I mean by nonsense-posting, is posting like: "Hi everyone! Poor Sleepy!!!!! So sad you died! We should do something." And that being the only contribution of the first day (or anyday, for that matter). or like: "Rock-baby-Rock, duubaduuba-diiba-daaba. Ranger wasn't a changer, WOW!!!! Real Danger! Check you out guys! If you are not gone with Sleepy... (wink-wink)" Etc, etc... So no-nonsense talk would be something, making a bit more out of it... But really! Nice interpretation of Sleepy's text! Surely no-nonsense! Although it might be erring surely. Without better ideas, I could stick to it... Sleepy really told us, there would be hints, and we deconstructionists love far-fetched ones!

It seems we have one more roleplayer in the village, and it's our Touché-man Nogrod.
I'm glad to see someone online. And I got your (Nogrod's) point on nonsense. The matter's solved. Yet, I wonder, is the "I suggest that we press on the silent ones" posts very much less nonsense. And the choir agreeing to that. I'm not blaming the strategy, I'm just wondering why nearly all agree with it.

Lommy, is that a new record on the 'Downs?
Quote:
No, I quite agree with you. There is no formula for anything in Werewolf. Play it by ear is all you can do. Of course, there are some vague catagouies, such as Quite Wolf, Voters In Pairs, etc, that you can be looking out for, but that is about it. I think the best stratagy is usually to wait for the Seer to announce some innocents, hopefully the Ranger can come out, with hopefully a known innocent, and perhaps the Hunter thrown in there somewhere. Of course, you need to be lynching people along the way, and you want to make as sound a judgemtn as you can, but lets face it, sometimes we're gonna be wrong. Anyway, as nothing really stands out to me - can you believe it! - I will go ahead and vote ++LMP like I said I would. No hard feelings or anything.

But as you mentioned it. In the beginning most people seemed to be against it - or at least they were reserved with it. And I'm not so confident with my argumentation skills, that I would readily believe, that I have just convinced them all. So it could be worthwhile looking, whether there are any drastic changing of sides, or sudden silences after perceived "mood-changes" or certain critical posts etc. Well they surely are shots in the air too, but still better than nothing?

Reading my previous post, I observe that Anguirel actually is going along the ongoing trend. A bit wolvish, if we assume that wolves don't want to get into the spotlight.
Enca isn't really saying anything, but I'm not blaming her for that. I do it all the time! Being unable to make sound opinions doesn't always lead to wolvishness.

OKay, I've read through everyone's posts, and then I went back an analyzed the Opening. I think I've found something interesting.

Or actually better, I'd say. But it doesn't close out the possibility of you two being both wolves, though that's very unprobable, since you're directing the spotlight to her...

I've been reading Sleepy's characterization of us all. I found the following to be of some, at least half-reasonable interest:
Roa: being called stupid & laughed at, she would show them who was better! Naria: seems to be a bit mad (not caring of anything real, just laughing alone) Holbytlass: manages to fake herself with ease EDIT: X-posting heavily

Also, I'd like to point out that THE Ka's opening has nothing to do with her occupation, unlike all the others. And that's exactly the type of subtlety Sleepy would use.
EDIT:Won't be back for a few hours. Mid-terms and all.

We seem to have been doing the same thing with Lommy.
I also wondered about that SHE of the first post. She had red hair though - and even though THE Ka's avatar isn't showing red hair, it has that feeling in it... Thin's point about Naria is worth recalling too. You could also see, that Sleepy had next to the Cupid's arrow, mentioned to have his throat slahed so that his head was almost off. The butcher would have the tools and art to do it...

I'm very short of time and must vote, because I get done "rehearsing" after voting closes.
Observations: Thinlomiel: 1. has voiced suspicion of Anguirel based on him following an ongoing trend. I haven't time to verify that assertion. this in post #63 2. appears helpful in post #62 with all those quotes seemingly trying to build up some kind of case the nature of which frankly escapes me (prob. my fault for lack of time) 3. made no defense (that I could find) in answer to my suspicions. Eonwe: 1. his vote for me in #57, especially giving no reason other than randomness, naturally attracts my suspicious attention. 2. lots of "gifted" talk in #57; also a point of suspicion. Naria: her "wait and see" attitude as described in #32 seemed a bit opportunistic and therefore perhaps wolfish to me; I am vindicated in this thinking by Holbytlass in her vote. The Ka: 1. Votes for Thinlomiel after others have voiced some suspicion in that direction, thereby following a trend. 2. She protests way too much in defense of every single possible contingency of which she finds herself able to be accused; that seems rather guilty behavior to me. 3. I notice that others have found other areas of suspicion that I have not yet had time to research. Witch Queen has not yet posted as far as I can tell. Valesse seems to protest just a wee bit too much in #29. The grounds listed above do not amount to much, granted. Nevertheless, it seems that there is more to lay at the feet of The KA than any other. ++ The KA |

I'll have to leave for the choir rehersals, and have to vote.
I'll briefly summarize, what I have thus far (I'll leave those morning's "random accusations" to their own worth = don't have time to go over them any more). Gil-Galad: one "nonsense"-post, nothing else WQ: nothing at all Hints by Sleepy: Roa: seeks revenge Naria: the loose madman-butcher? + Sleepy's throat cut Holbytlass: master faker Accusation of Roa: THE Ka: Cupid's arrow + RL romance, different character post by Sleepy So as I have been saying, I will go for the quiet or nonsense posters, if we don't have any better ideas. Now I do think we have better one's, thanks to someone remembering Sleepy saying that he would give us hints of some sort. So. I will stick to his hints. And as I have to vote this early, I don't want to make the difference now by voting Naria - she being already voted by Holbytlass (sic!). So there remains Roa to vote. ++ Roa_Aoife I have a weird feeling, I have done something like this in some earlier life of mine... PS. Thinlómien: I admit you being right in that point about your not taking sides between Roa / THE Ka -thing. I was negligent over some of your posts... Sorry.
