In truth, none of us are perfect. I, too, have wrestled with self doubt. But Pat… I do wonder about you. You came into this company with words of wolves and how few there might be. I cannot help but question whether you already knew their number, and sought to appear as one unknowing.

@William the Grave Robber answering a question meant for @Pat the Baker just niggled at me that there could be dual identities floating about but I think the amount of accounts eliminated probably rules it out so I've parked it. I think.

It's usually something that gets announced on thread anyway. But this game you wouldn't be sure cause we've very little to go on so far

No. The ring itself is a force for evil though and everyone who carries it is affected by that.

Isildur didn't cast the ring into Mount Doom because he was corrupted by its power.
The ring then betrayed Isildur and eventually fell to Smeagol/Gollum who became corrupted by its power.
Bilbo Baggins then stole the ring from Gollum and also became affected (though to a lesser extent) by the ring.
Then it passed to Frodo who also demonstrated at times that he was affected by it.

Interesting. How few wolves did I say there would be?

But yes, I did start the game by talking about wolves. That's the point of the game

Not all characters were affected by the ring though. Some could resist it's power. Cate Blanchett turned it down when offered it by Frodo didn't she?

I don't know. You spoke swiftly of One Wolf. It struck me as strange, as though you were feigning ignorance of how many truly roam these lands. Not the simple pondering of one who weighs the numbers of players and the balance then of wolves. But rather the tone of one eager to seem unknowing, as if to say, “Surely I am no wolf.”

My understanding is we're not permitted to reveal ourseleves as hobbits, elves, men or any other character type. I used Jabroni as I saw it used on reading a previous werewolf. I realise now it was poorly chosen. I'll just use NRVs in future.

I spoke siwiftly of one wolf? Can you put that in plain English please? Are you implying that I said there is one wolf in this game? Cause that didn't happen.

A Hobbit would be a character no? I wonder if this was a way to get around this rule:

Allow yourself to fully adopt your character persona and do your utmost to conceal your RL identity. Do not share private messages, screenshots, or any other non-public information about the game either in the thread or outside it while the game is ongoing. Do not discuss the game outside of this thread and the designated backroom. Avoid character reveals

Looks like they are going out of their way to shout they are good

Quote:The Fellowship wins by eliminating all the Wolves and successfully chaperoning the One Ring to the fires of Mount Doom, cleansing Middle-earth of its greatest evil.
This sacred duty falls uniquely to the Hobbits among you, a burden few can comprehend.
Should the line of Ring-bearers be extinguished, the quest to destroy the One Ring fails, and with it, all hope for Middle-earth.
Yet, the Ring itself is a persistent and powerful force; even if its current bearer falls, its fate may not be sealed, and its dark influence may still be resisted.

You said 
"Just the one wolf and a serial killer mentioned in the first post? Guessing there are more wolves".
This was simply untrue. They spoke of “wolves” in the plural, more than once. And to say one is merely guessing there are more wolves feels hollow. Guessing? Of course there are more. There was never going to be a lone wolf, such a thing would not make sense.
It reads as though you strain to seem blind to the truth of their number — yet I suspect you knew full well how many there are.

Christ on a bike I really do have to explain this again

I was saying there was 1 wolf name mentioned in the OP- Sauron.. Although from what others have said etc Sauron may not even be a wolf.. That is literally all I was saying, and that my guess is there are more than 1 wolf but we don't know cause it's not mentioned. I have no idea about Lord of the Rings so I was working from the original post & what was mentioned

I never never ever mentioned a lone wolf, or that there is just 1 wolf in this game. And you're only talking about this this wolves plural stuff from the OP now, after others have mentioned it probably over 24 hours ago

I'm not explaining this to anyone again, it's ridiculous
