WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification)

[Durelin]

Nilp got someone to vote for him? :rolleyes:

[Nienna]

I think... whatever the phantom's apprentice does, he or she just did it.

EDIT: x'd since Brinniel.

hmm... so it would seem...

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nilp got someone to vote for him? :rolleyes::D

Me love Noggie. Me him keep.

[Brinniel]

Btw, always trust Shasta (when he's innocent). Hasn't anyone read his sig? There's a reason I've already reserved him as my right-hand man for when I take over the world. Gotta love that psychic boy. :p

[Durelin]

Nilp got someone to vote for him?

Before he voted for himself.

Not quite a labor of Hercules but hey... :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I leave minions to do my dirty work now.

Mwahahaha!

[Brinniel]

Rikae got us all drunk?
Is that why I feel like I have a hangover?



(But in all seriousness, I really do have a nasty headache (not from drinking, mind you), so I apologise if I'm not entirely functionable right now. *whimpers* )

[Isabellkya]

What in tarnation. I refreshed the page a few minutes ago... and there was nothing new. Someone's clock go wacko?

I'd say that the cloaked figure completed a task. Probably targeted by the Duck Clan. Then became uncloaked. With the uncloaking, they got a Day kill.


'tis funny that Shasta tried to kill Wilwa - then this other person successed the second time.

Yay for Shasta?!


X'd since Dury's #751.

[Nerwen]

YAY NILP!!!! I KNEW YOU WERE SPESHUL!!!

N-I-L-P
He's as gifted as can be!!!
A-U-R-I-O-N
Let's hope he kills a duck again!!!!

(So Nilp, when you're voted one of the ducks dies... do you now lose the power or what?)

EDIT: X'd since Dury at #755.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You're welcome to find out, Nerwen. ;)

[Nerwen]

I leave minions to do my dirty work now.

Mwahahaha!

Heyyy... Nilp... that sounded sort of... evil...*gulp*

What side are you on, again?

[Durelin]

So do we still have two people claiming to be the "phantom's apprentice" then?

Two wolves down by Day 3. Makes you wonder.

[Isabellkya]

Ahh.
I see.
Haha.


X'd since Nilp's #760.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I leave a widdle hintsie.

Fibonacci sequence.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So do we still have two people claiming to be the "phantom's apprentice" then?Who's the second???

Show me your stance!!!

Two wolves down by Day 3. Makes you wonder.Actually they're cuddly wuddly duckies. You haven't killed a single fuzzy wuzzy wolfie yet. ;)

[the phantom]

I killed Wilwa because she wasn't worshiping me enough.

Better step it up, or you might be next.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

That's what she said.

[Nerwen]

Who's the second???

Show me your stance!!!

Mithalwen, I thought.

[Rikae]

Hm, hasn't anybody noticed that either Mith or Nilp is evil? Village of cobblers, or what?

[Isabellkya]

I'd have to check. but I don't think Mith ever actually claimed to be the Apprentice. People just inferred from what she said and drew the conclusion?

[Brinniel]

So do we still have two people claiming to be the "phantom's apprentice" then?
Actually, I'm wondering if perhaps the phantom's apprentice really is him. Simply because he and wilwa were the only ones mentioned in that narration and it could be a hint.

[Gwathagor]

Wilwa (were-duck, blinded by the light (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcWVL4B-4pI&feature=PlayList&p=0CED252FDFEFE16B&index=17) in the middle of Day 3)


Ahem. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN6zFN8cAPs)

[Gwathagor]

Well - with Wilwarin gone, my prime voting candidate is also gone. Time to re-evaluate.

[Nerwen]

Gwathy, if it wasn't for the fact that two known ducks have been trying so hard to peck you to death, I would, like, totally vote you now for trying to distract us.

EDIT: X'd with Gwath.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Hm, hasn't anybody noticed that either Mith or Nilp is evil? Village of cobblers, or what?Evil is a four-letter word.

I am, as I have already clearly demonstrated, four letters short of a word.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Vote Nilp or vote Mith?

Was thinking, vote Izzy.

Now uncertain.

Mith worships Phantom anyway. Nilp likes suicide.

Kill Mith, find out?

Evil Nilp, or just normal Nilp that is cobbler by default due to personality?

Concerned.

[Rikae]

I'd have to check. but I don't think Mith ever actually claimed to be the Apprentice. People just inferred from what she said and drew the conclusion?

She said the ducks attacked her, I believe. Or that we didn't know they didn't. Just as good as saying she's the Phantom's Apprentice, since we know they attacked xem.

[Durelin]

Actually, I'm wondering if perhaps the phantom's apprentice really is him. Simply because he and wilwa were the only ones mentioned in that narration and it could be a hint.

Well, Rikae and Mith were also mentioned, but...he seems the best case at the moment...

For a minute there I read that wrong and thought you were suggesting phantom was the phantom's apprentice because he was the only one mentioned in the narration...and was wondering if you had reached fangirl status...(it was the way you did the bolding I think) >< :rolleyes:

[Nerwen]

Evil is a four-letter word.

I am, as I have already clearly demonstrated, four letters short of a word.

Meaning... you're neither good nor evil, but out for yourself?

And what's with the "minions"?

X'd since Nilp at #775.

[Rikae]

I doubt very highly there is a hint to anyone's identity in the narration. Sally already said several times there wouldn't be.

[Isabellkya]

hmm.
All I see is her stating that whomever was attacked could not be killed.


Either way.
I'm finding it odd that two Duckies would go after Gwath so.... together?

Which just makes me want to vote for Nienna even more... feeling, hunch, what have you.


X'd with Rikae.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Meaning... you're neither good nor evil, but out for yourself?Meaning I am two bricks short of a brick.

And what's with the "minions"?Oh, just about everyone in this village, more or less.

[the phantom]

Enough with the YouTube links (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSeOKvGu468)!

[Nerwen]

URGENT:

Just re-read the posts. Sally said she had an important announcement before Nogrod voted Nilp. Therefore, whatever the crucial thing was, it wasn't that.

Theory: Nilp is the cobbler and was trying to distract us from, say, looking through Wilwa's posts for clues.

EDIT: X'd since Izzy.

[Durelin]

Ah, sorry, was just playing about the Nlip vote thing, focusing on the narration.

Speaking of cobblers - go away, ex-phantom!

I'm tempted to vote Nilp but it'd probably be a waste.

Still at the top:

Lari
Nienna
Rikae

All I can say is that Nogrod would be appalled if he were here.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

++NILP

Calms nerves.

[Nienna]

*Still Epically Confused*

++ Mith

[Brinniel]

Well, Rikae and Mith were also mentioned, but...he seems the best case at the moment...

For a minute there I read that wrong and thought you were suggesting phantom was the phantom's apprentice because he was the only one mentioned in the narration...and was wondering if you had reached fangirl status...(it was the way you did the bolding I think) ><
I guess I meant to say that Nilp was the only living player who had any real lines. And oh dear. How could you ever think that? :eek:

Now with another suspect out of the way, the only other real suspect I have right now is Kath for how she's been suspecting people as I find her reasoning to be very poor. I'm slightly worried about Nienna and Dury, but don't have any real reason to actually vote them. I think toDay Lari looks like the easy vote and I don't find her all that suspicious. If anything, I found her vote for Gwath even less suspicious since at that point it would've been much easier for a were-Lari to blend in by making a wolf-on-wolf vote for Lommy. But meh, I was wrong about her last time, so I'm not completely sure.

Unless something changes in the next few minutes, I'm voting Kath. And it'll probably be my next post because my internet is being stupid and slow again, plus it doesn't help that I feel like the entire left side of my head is being hit with a hammer every two seconds.

Theory: Nilp is the cobbler and was trying to distract us from, say, looking through Wilwa's posts for clues.
Good point. Someone should do that. I would like to but as I said, I'm really not feeling well...

[Isabellkya]

Fortunately we are two WereDucks down. Interesting in a way to see what else is out there. No telling what was cooked up. Definitely not a reason to slack though.

Maybe, hopefully - there are only Ducks. Especially, well I don't know.


Hmm.


X'd with Nienna and Brin.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

++NILP

Calms nerves.No it won't.

Just . . . one . . . more.

[Nienna]

Vote Count:

Mith (2), Kath (2), Nilp (2), Lari (1), Nienna (1)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

No it won't.

Have done my job. Well.

[Brinniel]

Nilp, Rikae, and Mith are all acting very weird, but I rather doubt any of them are actually were-ducks. They're acting more like cobblers than anything (though Mith does seem more innocent than the other two). I'd rather catch a duck than cobblers.

++Kath

[Nerwen]

Nilp wants to be voted. Rikae wants to be voted. Theory: they are both cobblers and think (or know) that one of the candidates is a duck.

EDIT: X'd since Nilp.

[Isabellkya]

Just for kicks..

Rikae -> Mith
Nilp -> Kath
Kath -> Lari
Mith -> Kath 2
Mac -> Nienna
Nog -> Nilp
Fea -> Nilp 2

X'd since my last post. Haha, someone beat me to it.

Thank you! I was trying to work it out on my own and I kept getting confused.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It's wooorking. :D

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me . . .

[Gwathagor]

That's what she said.

[Isabellkya]

Miss Duckess also voted for Nilp. I think that spells doom for him.


X'd with zombie.

[Nerwen]

Have done my job. Well.

Facing maker holds no terror for me. Threats are nothing.

And Fea is something...

*head explodes*

++Nienna.

I'm more inclined to trust Mith than any of the other weirdos.

And Fea is something.
Your mom is something.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And Fea is something...

Human, mostly.

[Isabellkya]

WEll, might as well vote.

++Nienna

For reasons stated previously.


That leaves Gwath, Dury, Nerwen, Lari left to vote?


x'd since last post. Or not for Nerwen left.

[the phantom]

And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
Your mom was waiting for me on the corner of the street.

[Durelin]

++Nienna

Lari's vote is maybe a little too obvious, and I don't buy the whole *confusion* thing.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And this is how he treats his padawan.

:D

[Lariren Shadow]

Have been writing paper and on messanger and just found the season premier of The Tudors...

[satansaloser2005]

Day's over. I'll count votes and let you know. :)


ETA: Nienna is lynched. She was a were-duck. Mnemo sends the flock her condolences. Narration will be up as soon as I get a drink, some aspirin, and pajamas, in no particular order.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And this is how he treats his padawan.That's what she said.

[Nerwen]

I think Nienna's dead.

EDIT: Yes. And feathered!

[satansaloser2005]

Day Three, the Musical

Early in the Morning, before most of the village had even considered getting up, the were-ducks and their duckess-in-chief Mnemo met to discuss strategy for the Day. When Mnemo joined the band of baddies she heard Wilwa and another feather-faced female joking about Legate's body, which had started to sprout cucumber plants. She recognized Nienna in the Dawn light and approached the group, smacking Nienna on the shoulder to get her attention.

“Let's get down to business, make the village gone
Did they send me hatchlings when I asked for swans?
You're the saddest player I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Nienna, I'll make a duck out of you”

“But I've been watching games for a long time,” Nienna protested. “Just ask Fea or Lari or Mira....oh wait, never mind. The point is it's not like I have no idea what I'm doing.”

“Trying to impress me, you're never going to win
Even with good flock mates you're too weak to swim
You're a spineless, barely feathered girl
And you haven't got a clue
But still I'll make a duck out of you.”

Nienna was struck speechless by Mnemo's reprimand and was silent for the rest of the meeting, going along with all the others to have a drink afterward. As she drowned her sorrows in a glass of 80 proof A- (which if anyone asked was just some hardcore red wine) she sighed, lost in thought about how much....well, how much being the new player sucked.

I'm never gonna get a kill
Which I wasn't such a newbie
Really wish I'd posted more about Tree Limb

She giggled at the thought, and was just starting to enjoy herself again when Wilwa ran in, shrieking about the uncloaking they had seen together last Night before she died.

The smile on Nienna's face disappeared instantly and she gulped down the rest of the 'wine', nervous and uncomfortable enough that she went on a walk to calm herself down.

This apprentice found our Wil
Hope she/he doesn't see right through me
Now I really wish we hadn't attacked her/him

She saw Mnemo sitting on the porch of the old bakery, munching on some lady fingers. (Again, if anyone asked, Mira had lost them in the fall down the well.)

“Mistress, what do I do?” she asked hesitantly. “We're down two flock mates in less than two Days. I may not be the most experienced player, but it's time I did something bigger for the flock than just trying to keep Shasta and Mira apart.”

Her Duckness smiled and replied, “You know what? Maybe you are ready.”

(Be a duck)
I've been so careful, not dreamed or hunted
(Be a duck)
With strength that's doubled just by the moon
(Be a duck)
I'll be as clever as seer or hunter
Uncatchable as a were-duck (or a loon)

Nienna stepped away feeling confident, and as she saw the rest of the group walking by she shouted to get their attention, standing up on a railing to make her speech.

“Time is racing toward us till the lynch begins
Now's the time to vote Mith, sink or swim”

Some of the escapees agreed and Nienna grinned as Mith's lynching was discussed.

I am ready now, and I know how
To make all players see my view
And now I'll make a meal out of you

Everyone stopped chattering immediately and stared at her incredulously.

“I said that out loud didn't I?”

Nilp rolled his eyes and Wilwa facepalmed in her makeshift grave.

The others advanced on her and she tried to sing her way out of the situation, but her small voice was no match for the rest as they ordered her death from the moddess.

(++Nienna)
We must vote now, before baddies kill us
(++Nienna)
Vote for this were-duck and seal her doom
(++Nienna)
She's cute and fun, but so evil! Lynch her!
Please, Sally, just flipping kill her! Make it soon!

ETA: I'll put in a clever title later but I've still got a migraine and I have class in the morning. Nienna, dearie, hope it's 'epic' enough for you.

Gifteds and the flock, send picks whenever you feel like. I'm out.

[Gwathagor]

Hey we're back!

[Durelin]

Working for me again, too! I think the BD clock is now an hour behind, though. XD

[Gwathagor]

So it is. Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.

[Mnemosyne]

Duck here. Sally is currently slogging through Middle-English poetry as fresh as a cow's turd; she should be back in an hour and a half at the latest. We're ready for Day to come again whenever you are; expect further stipulations, clarifications, and Rules as soon as she's back. Needless to say we won't do anything that would penalize anyone for the Downs' absence, although we do reserve the right to mess with your brains.

Until then, please take your exultations at the Downs' survival to PM or another thread. We are still in a Night phase.

[satansaloser2005]

Rejoice, ye Downers, for the forum is back~!



I'm just going to wait and start the Day at 10pm toNight, GMT-5, so we don't get all messed up. The Downs is an hour behind, so we'll go by that clock minute-wise until it gets fixed. Everyone please stay silent until then and the Day will dawn then. Thanks!

[Nerwen]

Oh, dear, this is going to be a scary day, what with a brace of undead ducks waddling around the village...:eek:

*points to list*

[Mnemosyne]

Brains!

[satansaloser2005]

Oh, dear, this is going to be a scary day, what with a brace of undead ducks waddling around the village...:eek:

*points to list*



Eep!

*fixes list*

Heh in my defense it was 230am. Thanks for pointing that out. :)


Flock, you may continue to PM until 10pm (again, 9pm by the Downs clock) CT.

Must dash, for have a meeting in a bit. Yummy pizza too, yay! :D

And never fear, I'll be here to call the Day. Enjoy the rest of your Evening!

~~Sally~~

[satansaloser2005]

Day dawns. Brinn's dead. She was the Ranger.


Sorry, I ended up not doing the narration last night because I had a headache, but I'm about done. Just give me a few minutes and I'll have it for you, promise.


Start talking! :D

Aaand we're off.

[Gwathagor]

Anyone else around?

[Isabellkya]

From what is hopeful, there is one WereDuck left. Including the other three, makes four. Nevermind the possibility of other things lurking. Depends on the plot and manner of killing, I suppose.

Maybe we'll get lucky again. Especially with three duck deaths in a row.



X'd with Gwath.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Brinn's death = bad news.

Could be worse.

Probably cross posting a lot.

Illustration homework eating soul. Will be around more tomorrow.

[Gwathagor]

Nilpaurion and Rikae were both acting very cobblerish yesterDay, but what if one of them is actually a wolf trying to look like a cobbler? Thoughts?

Regardless, they both look guilty of something anyway.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lynch me if you want to find out.

[Gwathagor]

See? See? He's doing it again.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'm just saying, I still haven't been killed by the Duckies.

Most likely I'm not even being considered a NIGHT kill, cos they think he'll get himself lynched sooner or later. Anyway he's on the wrong track.

Which is useful for what I plan to do.

You'll see me on the winning side. ;)

[Gwathagor]

Uh huh.

[Gwathagor]

Here's yesterDay's vote count, if anyone's interested.

Rikae: ++ Mith (Mith 1)
Nilp: ++Kath (Mith 1, Kath 1)
Kath: ++Lari (Mith 1, Kath 1, Lari 1)
Mith: ++Kath (Kath 2, Mith 1, Lari 1)
Mac: ++Nienna (Kath 2, Mith 1, Lari 1, Nienna 1)
Nog: ++Nilp (Kath 2, Mith 1, Lari 1, Nienna 1, Nilp 1)
Fea: ++Nilp (Kath 2, Nilp 2, Mith 1, Lari 1, Nienna 1)

[Nerwen]

Let's hear it for our might Ranger
Three Nights she's kept us out of danger!
B-R-I-N-N-I-E-L
She did her job and she did it well!

From what is hopeful, there is one WereDuck left. Including the other three, makes four.

Unfortunately:

Flock, you may continue to PM until 10pm
:(

Nilpaurion and Rikae were both acting very cobblerish yesterDay, but what if one of them is actually a wolf trying to look like a cobbler? Thoughts?

Regardless, they both look guilty of something anyway.

Think Nilp really wants us to lynch him? Or just wants us to think he wants it = reverse psychology.

YAY!!!! LOOK AT ALL THE BIG WORDS I KNOW!!!
I"M SO CLEVER!!!!!

[Rikae]

You're probably not going to trust me on this, but I have a very good reason for appearing cobblerish. You'll see.

It occurs to me - three ducks in such close succession really is a bit too good luck, don't you think? It suggests to me there might be more ducks around than we thought (which would make sense, considering that everyone has something special about them).

I would still like to know why Mith isn't dead, even more than ever now.

EDIT: X'd with the cheerleader.

[Gwathagor]

Think Nilp really wants us to lynch him? Or just wants us to think he wants it = reverse psychology.



I think it's reverse psychology, yes. I think he wants us to think that he wants us to lynch him so that we won't lynch him.

[Gwathagor]

It occurs to me - three ducks in such close succession really is a bit too good luck, don't you think? It suggests to me there might be more ducks around than we thought (which would make sense, considering that everyone has something special about them).


How many do you think there are?

[Rikae]

For all I know, you're all ducks.... except maybe a gifted or two...

really, I have no idea and wouldn't put anything past Sally.

[Mnemosyne]

Rikae, that was supposed to be our little secret!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

All right, out to lunch, and a bit of perspective.

And then, the bomb.

Patroclus is watching you.

[Rikae]

Just exaggerating, obviously less than half of the village can be "the flock"; but as Nerwen pointed out, there must have been at least five to begin with.

[Gwathagor]

Good, we're on the same page then. I was reckoning about five myself.

[Rikae]

I'm actually thinking - six.

*waits for phantom to pipe up about Mith being "the bomb"*

[the phantom]

I'm actually thinking - six.
That's what she said.

Almost.

[satansaloser2005]

That's what she said.

Almost.



:eek:

[Rikae]

That's what she said.

Almost.

Hahaha! :D

[Durelin]

Three ducks down...but apparently we still have a 'flock' left? ><

Interesting Mith is still alive?

Lari still bothers me. Shocking, I know. YesterDay after I saw her vote post that looked exactly like Nienna's I rather wished I had voted for her, but...

Mac and Gwath feel the most innocent to me atm.

Nilp is naturally bothersome...he's good at that. ;) Lol, Patroclus. Obviously Nilpachilles is the were-seal's lover. We should lynch him and remove a double threat. :Merisu:

But I am going to bed now because my roommate has actually gone to bed at a semi-reasonable hour and I am taking advantage of it.

[Mnemosyne]

So, there are these two seals sitting in a bathtub of warm Crisco, and the one seal says to the other, "Hey, could you pass the soap?" And the other seal says, "What do I look like, a typewriter?"

*dies of teh luls*

[the phantom]

Bolshevik Revolution!!

*falls asleep*

[Isabellkya]

Two - three duckies left, you think?
Hmm.

I think toDay's vote should be moderately easy.

[Nerwen]

You're probably not going to trust me on this, but I have a very good reason for appearing cobblerish. You'll see.

Let me guess! Let me guess!

Because... uuummmm.... you're a cobbler?;)

X'd with Izzy.

[Isabellkya]

Maybe because she is a WereCreature and wants to look like the/a Cobbler so she doesn't get lynched.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

No, I think that's me.

If you are naturally Cobblerish.
Then how can you try to look Cobblerish?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You got me there.

Can anyone answer?

[Nerwen]

No... this Zen Wolfism is too deep for me...

[Macalaure]

I don't have a bloody idea what's going on here. Judging from the others posts, neither does anybody else...

The small number of night kills makes it improbable that we have a bear or competing duck teams. We either have a fourth duck, or one or more neutral players who cannot kill in the regular sense, but have winning conditions that are opposed to the winning conditions of the asylum. At the moment, all we can do is assume we have a fourth duck, though that might be exactly what Sally wants us to do, while her realities look completely different, and lead us into realms that are not entirely comprehendable by sane human reason.

For all I know, you're all ducks.... except maybe a gifted or two...Eru have mercy on us...

I think toDay's vote should be moderately easy.Why?

And then, the bomb.Did somebody say BOMB? :eek:

I thought Gwath was the bomb on Day1. ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

There can only be one . . .

[Nogrod]

I don't have a bloody idea what's going on here. Judging from the others posts, neither does anybody else...Exactly. Almost half of the Day has gone and all we have is basically banter like this was Day1 and not D4... :confused:

I agree with Mac that we should go with the hypothesis that there are one or more ducks left and that they are our main goal for the time being.

But I'm afraid we may have some yet unexploded bombs in our hands as well - like people who get new skills after certain conditions are met - like the one Mith got when attacked. And looking at the way Nilp wishes to get lynched he might be one of them to be sure. Or then not.


An interesting detail. All the three known wereducks voted for Gwath on Day2. That basically makes me say he's innocent unless some major new information to the contrary is brought up. The ducks surely were trying to help Lommy out from the gallows but I think it highly unlikely that they were facing a situation where two of them were leading the votes and they just decided to desert Gwath - and failed.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

But I'm afraid we may have some yet unexploded bombs in our hands as well - like people who get new skills after certain conditions are met - like the one Mith got when attacked.*pouts* You really think Mummie is the phantom's apprentice?

*shrugs* Ah, well . . .

[Macalaure]

Rikae -> Mith
Nobody can tell what she knows, wants, or is up to. She's playing a game of her own.

Nilp -> Kath
I absolutely don't know what to think of him.

Kath -> Lari
She's been after her for a bit, but is anybody else suspicious about the way she shifted the blame away from Nienna and Wilwa onto Lari in #655?

Mith -> Kath (2)
See Rikae.

Mac -> Nienna

Nogrod -> Nilp
Not trying to save Nienna, but he could have hoped that she would survive without his help and that it was not worth risking his own feathery bottom. (Interesting: he voted neither of the dead ducks - this is uncharacteristic for evil Nogrod, though maybe he was told that he's not allowed to vote for his fellows.)

Fea -> Nilp (2)
Nilp was more likely to attract votes at this point than anybody else. Votes for him are easy, especially when combined with not much reasoning. My feeling still says she's innocent, though.

Nienna -> Mith (2)
Why not Nilp or Kath?

Brinn -> Kath (3)

Nerwen -> Nienna (2)
There definitely was no need to bring Nienna back into the running at this point.

Izzy -> Nienna (3)
After her consistently. Innocent.

Durelin -> Nienna (4)
Innocent as well.

Lari -> Mith (3)
She showed before that she keeps track of the voting well, so evil Lari would have known that Nienna's only chance of survival was her voting Kath. On the other hand, if she decided not to save Nienna, she could just as well have voted for her.

Gwath -> Lari (2)
Same as Lari, plus what Nogrod said.

Evil
n.a.

Evil enough
Kath

You're asking me?
Mith
Nilp
Rikae

Innocent enough
Fea
Lari
Nogrod

Innocent
Durelin
Gwath
Isabellkya
Nerwen

Oh, the joys of the process of elimination. :D


I just noticed this:

I leave a widdle hintsie.

Fibonacci sequence.

:eek:

Since three ducks are dead, and the game has not yet ended, we must be facing either 2 or 5 ducks right now:
Day1: 1 or 2
Day2: 2 or 3
Day3: 3 or 5 minus 1 resp. 2
Day4: 5 or 8 minus 3

Our only chance of winning is if we're dealing with 5 ducks. If we're dealing with 2, then we're doomed, unless we can pull a magic "get rid of two on one day" thing again. Tomorrow, we would have either 5 ducks, minus 1, possibly! If we have 5 ducks now, we will have 10 tomorrow! However, since, if I didn't miscount, we are 12 right now, after lynch and kill, there will be exactly 10 villagers left, all of which are ducks, and therefore, all of which will have won.

[...arrest this man, he talks in math...]

[Nerwen]

Like the new sig, Mac...

At the moment, all we can do is assume we have a fourth duck, though that might be exactly what Sally wants us to do, while her realities look completely different, and lead us into realms that are not entirely comprehendable by sane human reason.

True, but you are behind the times:p– the rest of us are assuming a fifth duck and maybe a sixth– see above. Although, the other scenario is just the sort of thing Sally would like... but then we've already won, haven't we?:)

But I'm afraid we may have some yet unexploded bombs in our hands as well - like people who get new skills after certain conditions are met - like the one Mith got when attacked. And looking at the way Nilp wishes to get lynched he might be one of them to be sure. Or then not.

Do we know it's Mith?

Oh, and Nilp reminds me of mormegil a while back, when you and he were dreamed as wolves and he said he was something else that would explode and kill everyone who voted for him. He was bluffing, but maybe Nilp isn't. Sally was in that game– might have given her ideas.

*pouts* You really think Mummie is the phantom's apprentice?

I don't know, Nilp... do you think you are?:Merisu:

*sigh* All this thinking is making me tired... I need... sugar...
SUGAR!!!!!YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!

EDIT: x'd with Mac.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I think someone should wake Sally up. The gig's up.

Macalaure has won.

[Mithalwen]

Well I am here....

3 ducks in a row not luck but good judgement. My good judgement...but I suspect you will carry on trying to get me lynched. :rolleyes:

Anyway my posts are now tightrope walks but I think I am safe to say "I love you , son" to Nilp.

And Gwath... seal clubbing is very mean. Duck clubbing should be the focus...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

(Don't worry mum, I'll get them to lynch me before they lynch you. :D )

You broods of Damocles! You persist in cutting the string, yet you don't have the good sense of getting away from under the sword. Why, if you had a pitcher of water in hand, and your house is on fire, it's fair to say that half the county'll be up in smoke before you even realise it.

I thought someone's already won?

Modfire is still possible.

[Nerwen]

Don't panic– I just thought it was part of his bluff, meaning the number of ducks (or non-ducks, because he was acting evil by then) he would kill each time he was voted.

EDIT: X'd since self.

[Nerwen]

Now what?

[Mithalwen]

her realities look completely different, and lead us into realms that are not entirely comprehendable by sane human reason.



One of those rare games then when not being a sane human has it advantages. :cool:

[Nerwen]

*waves pom-poms*

YAAAAAYYYY! I LOVE BEING TOTALLY CONFUSED AND NOT EVEN KNOWING IF THE GAME'S OVER! IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

*whispers* Anyone know what's going on?

[Macalaure]

Although, the other scenario is just the sort of thing Sally would like... but then we've already won, haven't we?

Not necessarily. Those other roles might not actually be real evil, but they do not win as long as we win, and vice versa. This might be a bit questionable from a moral point of view, but morals is something Sally is not bothered by.

Don't panic– I just thought it was part of his bluff, meaning the number of ducks (or non-ducks, because he was acting evil by then) he would kill each time he was voted.

If it equals the number of ducks that he can take down with him, it must be less or equal to the number of ducks present.

Maybe he's telling us that our very only chance of survival is killing him? Now that would be noble.

[Mithalwen]

*waves pom-poms*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Dinnertime. Later. *hugs Mum*

In my sword, the wind. In my heart, courage. In my eyes, death.

[Macalaure]

You know, people, even with confusion abound, we can still try to be helpful, of sorts. ;)

[Mithalwen]

We could but, helpful to whom? Ducks? Cobblersesssss? Gifteds? Everyone has their own agenda.... I think mine shall now be to be amuse the Modesses but it will have to be later now....

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

++Macalaure

Let's get Gandalf rolling.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Watching/wondering.

Problem is, if duck flock expands, anything village used to know doesn't matter.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

On second thought.

--Macalaure

Insanity runs in the family. It practically gallops.

[Macalaure]

Watching/wondering.

Problem is, if duck flock expands, anything village used to know doesn't matter.

Not anything, and that's what we should focus on now.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Not anything, and that's what we should focus on now.

Problem is, losing Ranger means loss of safety net. Gifteds with knowledge reveal, gifteds die and innocents die. Not all at once, but one by one. No hope. Gifteds a little more hesitant to divulge information, when a little silence gives opportunity to find out more before certain death. You see?

Ranger dying weighs prudence of open talk. Concept of chatter found wanting.

Obviously ducks don't see seer, or seer dies. Good news. Take advantage. Leave hints. Don't talk. No Brinniel to help your cause.

Hard to focus when, ideally, the Day is spent looking away from.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Also, with potential expanding flock, knowledge gleaned by non-ducks might prove outdated. Say dream happens Night One, change happens Night Two. Knowledge gone. No certainty. Sally rules with rubber fist.

[Lariren Shadow]

Good, we're on the same page then. I was reckoning about five myself.

I was thinking five for a flying V.

Hard to focus when, ideally, the Day is spent looking away from.

There's something there but I don't know what it is right now.

The Ranger being dead is not good. If anything it will make what other gifteds we have more likely to not revel now. Such as if the Seer knew how many other wolves/ducks there are and knew who they were. And that senario works if there is more than two more ducks/wolves.

I'm tending to be leaning towards the confused end of things. I know I don't like what Nilp is doing but I can't think of why he would...no I can actually. I just realized why Nilp would want to die, but he would have to be sure of something.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Still concerned about Nilp.

No longer concerned about Rikae. Never really was. Willing to watch her work. Could be cobbler, of course. Always an option. One never knows for sure.

Wondering much about Mith. Still alive? Thought of her last night. Stopped thinking, assuming death. Save effort by nothing worrying about lost cause. Except: still alive. Worrisome.

Nog still skin-toned to me. Not right, necessarily, but reasonable.

No longer sure of Lari. Never was sure, just guessed. Not sure at all. Concerned. Always concerned.

Durelin. Getting to point of narrowing down options. Right only because other is wrong. Effective, but unsatisfying. Durelin eludes me. Always does.

Would vote Nerwen. Days pass, more concerned. But perhaps just attributable to lols. I do not lol.

Would vote Izzy. Less certainty even than Nerwen.

Gwath still ochre. Very, very ochre. Would vote Gwath. If all were ducks, game would end. Not all ducks. But enough? Wish I knew how many ducks. Or non-duck evils.

Kath and Mac. No lols, only headdesks. Wish I had a lol.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I can actually. I just realized why Nilp would want to die, but he would have to be sure of something.

Except.

No certainty, but definitely, "Except-"

[Nogrod]

I do agree that we have been stupendously succesful of late. That success could be explained more easily if we had a host of ducks around - so our great killing-rate might be telling us more of our doom... and thinking about it now, would Sally make a game where the ducks wouldn't win? :rolleyes:

But I find it really hard to believe in the Fibonacci Sequence stuff. That would be totally inbalanced for if the ducks ever reached five the game would be practically over and depending on the initial number of ducks that could be really soon.

How to get rid of five "Fibonacci-ducks" in a village of twelve?

Lynch one toDay; ducks down to four (no increase the next Night) - theoretically may require six correctly placed innocent votes out of seven existing (and the role of the cobblers here?) - anyway: even if the ducks don't make a mass vote you can see the chances we have here as all the inocents should really come together in the voting.

(It's indeed intersting - looking it from this angle - that the ducks actually voted as a team on Day2! So they knew they could afford it?)

Back to the scenario. One innocent dies the next Night so toMorrow we have four ducks and six non-ducks. Could take five innocent votes out of six possible. The problem: a successful lynch brings the number of ducks down to three which means there would be five the next Day - against three innocents. Game over. Failing tomorrow would make the same result with four against four the next Morning.

Moreover, a double-kill toDay would make them five toMorrow - against five. Game over.

So let's hope they are not five...

If they are three now, they will be five toMorrow - game over as well.

So we're at these dire straits even if we have performed extremely well - three Days & three ducks killed.

If the Fibonacci Sequence is the way the ducks go we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope for our specials to rescue us.

Let's not lose hope. And really it was Nilp who made the Fibonacci-hint...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

++NILP

My mind is willing to be changed.

[Nogrod]

I hope you change your mind Fea as I'm willing to declare Nilp a cobbler. See how he is distracting our heads and successfully barring any real discussion - myself the foremost - as I seem to not be able to think of anything else now but different Fibonacci-scenarios... :confused:

And anyway the way he begs to be lynched doesn't feel right. If he's the phantom's aprrentice's "dark side" we probably really should avoid lynching him. The good-killer role was triggered by a Night-killing attempt so the bad-killer role should be triggered by a lynch.

So Nilp is a cobbler or a demonical killler waiting to be triggered by our attempt to kill him. In both cases lynching him would be a bad idea. I may be wrong though but I'm not sure I'm ready to suggest taking the risk of finding it out.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Okay.

--NILP

Fair argument.

So my not-votes are, Me, Nog, Rikae, Nilp.

Nog... Mith?

Worrisome. No idea what to think.

[Gwathagor]

Suspicious
Rikae - Cobblerish for sure
Nilp - Duck impersonating a cobbler? That's my guess, anyway
Kath - Duckish

Less Suspicious
Nerwen - A duck would have been more careful with her votes on Days 1 and 2
Lariren - Not as sure about Lariren, could be a wereduck who's been lying low
Durelin - Her vote was instrumental in lynching Nienna; may have been a duck-on-duck, but I think not
Izzy - I'm not sure, but she feels innocent to me

Least Suspicious
Mith - Phantom's apprentice, I think. Why else would she still be alive?
Nogrod
Fea
Mac

[Nogrod]

Nog... Mith?
Worrisome. No idea what to think.That's a good question. Maybe the ducks know things we don't - like Mith can't be killed by Night any more as she is Gandalf the White, the flashing light; or if they learned about Brinn being the ranger and made killing her their priority as they would have basically free kills after that (unless there are more very-very-special roles on the good side); or something?

I do think the evidence points heavily towards Mith being the phantom's apprentice and it's hard for me to see her role being other than benevolent (add there also all those Gandalf-hints in the narration).

I'll need to go now but I will come back after a few hours for another sit with this game.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Seriously.

Fine.

My burning house/pitcher of water analogy still stands, now I know why you won't do the obvious thing--you're thinking of buying a fire extinguisher.

I can't believe this village . . .

[Rikae]

Clever boy, Bubbles. Teeheehee....

But you know, what'ever Mith is, we have to get rid of her. That's becoming increasingly obvious. Do we have enough votes to do it?

How openly can we speak?

As an alternative, we could always lynch Nogrod.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

As an alternative, we could always lynch Nogrod

We oughtn't to.

How openly can we speak?

This openly: I can take one for the team if necessary. I'd rather it not be necessary, so I'd rather nobody spoke openly unless they knew enough to make it worth it. And it would only be truly beneficial if I knew a duck before I went all harakiri on the world.

No, I am not the seer; seer don't come forth. No, I am not the hunter; hunter, don't come forth. No, I can't actually kill myself; I can, however, take advantage of my Mod-given talents.

Please don't ask me to explain. I'm not at all sure that my short leash allows such open communication from me, eh, Sally? I'm not even sure this post won't get me modfired...

---

Ahem.

I mean-

Be prudent.

Think twice, good team.

Game not over yet.

[Durelin]

I do think the evidence points heavily towards Mith being the phantom's apprentice

But what evidence is there other than her suggesting she is? The duck (ducks only if you count her suggestions that Nienna was a duck and if wilwa was killed by the phantom's apprentice and if she is the pa...) she claims to have 'delivered' to us were suspected and lynched based on suspicion unless there is more going on behind the scenes than I know of...well I know there is but I don't think everyone who voted for Lommy and Nienna knew they were wolves or voted for them on Mith's orders.

Mith - Phantom's apprentice, I think. Why else would she still be alive?

Do you know something we (or at least I) don't? If she's what she claims to be, a wolf delivery system, then wouldn't the wolves want her dead?

Maybe they did think/know that they couldn't kill her. I don't know. And I wonder why some people seem to.

Everyone has their own agenda.... I think mine shall now be to be amuse the Modesses but it will have to be later now....

Are you done 'delivering' ducks then?

So Nilp is a cobbler or a demonical killler waiting to be triggered by our attempt to kill him.

I'm a bit more open-minded than that. It's Nilp. He's good at getting you to 'ignore' him until he's the last one standing. ;)

A possibility is that he is actually a day hunter (will be able to hunt the person of his choice when he is lynched). The question is if he is on our side or not.

He does still seem to be claiming here and there that he is the phantom's apprentice, though.

Really I would not mind getting rid of Nilp or Rikae because I'm not sure if we can remain sane with both of them around.

Lari seems the most straight-forwardly wolfish to me in her cautious behavior and her voting record. This is hardly a straight-forward game but I'm not sure what else to go on.

Nogrod is just naturally starting to bother me, I'm afraid. Really I am all for lynching him and Mac for taking the fibonacci sequence thing and running with it...especially since you then declare in your next post, Nog, that Nilp is probably just a cobbler. :p

I'm not sure why Fea chose to use her retraction so quickly. Boredom, I guess?

Really need to go do some work...argh.

Edit: crossed with Nilp, Rikae, Fea

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fea, I guess that's two of us at the stake ere NIGHTfall. :p

[Durelin]

How many people do we have claiming to be some sort of suicide-bomber now?

Seriously. Work. Bleh.

[Rikae]

Oh, something just occurred to me about Mith "delivering ducks" ....

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

How many people do we have claiming to be some sort of suicide-bomber now?

More like a specially focused ninja assassin, if you want to be particularly specific about metaphors... Rather more subtle than suicide-bombing. And rather more useful, when you get right down to it.

[Rikae]

I think I know who all the ducks in the village at this moment are. Lot of good it does the village, though.

*keeps mouth shut*

[Rikae]

M mom and I were just discussing psychiatrists, and she said "oh, I think they're all quacks". :D

[Macalaure]

Really I am all for lynching him and Mac for taking the fibonacci sequence thing and running with it.Who? Me? No way! Nilp started it! Nilp started it! :Merisu:


It seems to me that Rikae, Mith, Fea, and Nilp are really playing their own game. I don't know what they're about and I'm not going to vote for either. I'll stay with regular people who claim to be ordos. I was successful twice this way already. Right now, I'm leaning towards voting Kath, but the day is still fairly young.

Chances are, they will annihilate each other within the next two days. ;)

In any case, they will soon be fewer. Given some time, and maybe more info, we will be better able to tell who (of the remaining) is what. In any case they're not all evil, and I'd rather not lynch a gifted.


You people clearly post too much! How is one supposed to keep up with reading? :eek:

:rolleyes:

[Mithalwen]

Ooh that shut them up....

Well I shall talk to myself.

Observations.

Fea is being restrained. This is a clear indication that she is responsible for something or too something. As an ordo she gets terribly bored and is absolutely no holds barred. I don't think as an ordo she would be so concerned with what ever restriction she is under.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'm not suited for this. :( Maybe I'll just sic Adam on you tomorrow.

Anyway, let's do more lists:

Feanor of the Peredhil: Used nominative pronouns. Is dead. (Not a threat, a statement.)


Durelin: Has delivered fowl words, and should be lynched.


Nogrod: Has the temerity to imagine me to be the Cobbler. Pfft. Imagine that. Will be killed toNIGHT.


Isabellkya: Can't distinguish between natural Cobblery and Cobblery to cover Avian behaviour.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/Elenrod/trashcat.jpg


Nerwen: Should cheer more. I'll let her live. For now.


Rikae: Is stealing my limelight. Lynch.


Mithalwen: Is my dearest mum. Is stealing my role. (Or am I stealing hers? :Merisu: )


Kath: Is quiet. Has not posted today. Lynch.


Lariren Shadow: Knows too much about Duck formations. Lynch.


Macalaure: Took Fibonacci sequence seriously, albeit in the wrong direction. I'll keep him.


Gwathagor: Wants to lynch me. Go ahead punk, make my day. *squints*


Nilpaurion Felagund: Will be dead tomorrow . . . to be replaced by Adam.

[Rikae]

Hm. Those ducks weren't lynched because of Mith, but because they were obviously ducks. Well, I thought Lommy might be the seer momentarily, but then Nienna made a comment that made it clear they were both in the "flock" together. I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed that.

So if Mith is "delivering" ducks, she's doing so in a way we don't want. Either she's part of a growing flock, throwing the others to the village to make herself look good, or she is actually causing the flock to grow somehow.

Therefore:

++Macalaure

This is just the funniest post of the whole game. :D

don't suppose you would care to illustrate how they were obviously ducks, and point out Nienna's comment?

Hmmmm. Noggie is busy toDay, if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT: No wait, that was yesterday. Crap, I'm silly.

[Rikae]

After I called Lommy "feathered" (in reference to her personal title), Nienna commented about me hitting the nail on the head.

I voted for you because your comments about Lommy (who I already had decided was a duck) looked seerish. I'm not in the duck-voting game. :p

[Macalaure]

So you're a cobbler who votes for the person you think is a seer every day?

[satansaloser2005]

This is getting too good.

*grabs popcorn*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Finally they shut the door on the fire extinguisher salesperson!

Now to get them the use the pitcher of water . . .

[Nogrod]

I voted for you because your comments about Lommy (who I already had decided was a duck) looked seerish. I'm not in the duck-voting game. :pOkay now we're starting to play it tough, right?

So basically everyone is free to come up with whichever-kind of a fantastic role their imgination allows and we just have no clue whether it could be true or not... :confused:

I mean that would make sense. But if you're in here to pick seers then we should lynch you immediately before you "hit the nail in the head". Or is that just what you want as you're the dark side of the phantom's apprentice? :smokin:

[Rikae]

I am:

a traditional dish in both the United States and the United Kingdom, although the meaning of me is quite different in each country. In the United States, I am usually a dessert consisting of a fruit filling poured into a large baking dish over a batter that rises through when baking. In the United Kingdom I am usually a savoury meat dish, typically a lamb casserole (or would that be mutton now?), which is covered with a savoury scone-like topping—each scone (or biscuit) forming a separable Rikae. Fruit-based versions are also increasingly popular in the United Kingdom—although they still retain the separate biscuit topping of the meat version—and savoury or meat versions are not unknown in the United States.

*cough* sublety mace *cough*

I believe we could do with a bit less conspicuous behavior, eh?


P.S. That was....amazing, by the way. :)

[Durelin]

I hate you all for increasing my sinus headache and making me hungry.

Should we just lynch Rikae and get it over with? Right, unless that activates her blinding...darkness.

And stop crying "fire", Nilp.

Back to Aristophanes. I really must...

[Nogrod]

Back to Aristophanes. I really must...Even Parmenides would make more sense than this game. :)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Really concerned.

Shan't defend Rikae if she insists she's edible. After all, there was a clause.

Better to seek duck.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I love you, too, Durelin.

++Durelin

[Durelin]

Even Parmenides would make more sense than this game.

Taking a quick hop to Rome...I think I understand the Satyricon better.

Edit: You make me sad, dear Nilp. Especially since you don't have any retractions left... ;)

[Mithalwen]

Yes Duck is better.... and wooo everyone came out of the woodwork.... just when I got bored and went to check on something else.... hey ho.... but better a shoemaker than an innocent....

[Mithalwen]

So Nilp is a cobbler or a demonical killler waiting to be triggered by our attempt to kill him. In both cases lynching him would be a bad idea. I may be wrong though but I'm not sure I'm ready to suggest taking the risk of finding it out.

Or Nilp could simply be protecting his mother. But I need to look up this fibonnacci thing..I didn't get beyong fib... :rolleyes:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Don't worry, dear, I haven't hurt you. ;)

Oh, and mother, the Fibonacci thing was nothing, I just wanted one more vote.

[Isabellkya]

Oh my.

I really don't understand the near hysteria that seems to be on the edge of things.

I think we should just lynch Rikae and be done with it. What ever her supposed/inferred special bomb thing is, can't be worse than her being alive influencing and helping the Duckies.


X'd with Nilp and fixed tag.

[Nogrod]

Sally, could we make a triple-lynch? Just toDay? Please!

These specials are making me crazy with their multi-layered scheming! :eek: :confused:

[the phantom]

I like pie.
So that's what they're calling it these days.

[Macalaure]

The difference between Rikae and Nilp / Mith and Fea, is that the latter two claim to be on our side. Of course, this does not mean they are. Rikae and Nilp don't look like they're on our side, but does that mean they aren't? In Nilp's case I could indeed imagine that he needs to be lynched in order for us to benefit (then again, maybe he has to be lynched so that the duck(s) benefit in some way), but I have a hard time believing that Rikae has the best of the village in mind. I don't think of her as a duck or related to one, though. The question is therefore, do we want to lynch a likely cobbler? With three ducks dead already, we might be able to afford wasting the kill.

[Rikae]

Yay! Triple lynch!

[the phantom]

But I need to look up this fibonnacci thing
Ah, so that's what they're calling it these days.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Haha, try me. ;)

[Rikae]

That's right, Mac, you can afford to waste the lynch. ;)

I recall a game where a practically known cobbler was left until the end, because everyone kept thinking they had time before his vote would matter...

EDIT: X'd with an icon-thief. Hmph!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mistress, I've been using it for quite a while now. So, shall I say the reverse is true? :p

Do you care if I don't know what to say? Will you sleep tonight, or will you think of me?

Anyway, I, like Durie dear, am hungry. *off for some pie* * ;) at phantom*

[Rikae]

I first used it on Day 1, post 151. :p

[Durelin]

As long as you don't go beating my game's quadruple-lynch record. :p

:rolleyes:

[Macalaure]

As long as you don't go beating my game's quadruple-lynch record. :p

:rolleyes:*remembers*

*shudder*

[Mithalwen]

Ah, so that's what they're calling it these days.

You can annoy even your most devoted acolyte you know?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I've been using it before you were even a member. :p

. . .

What do you mean that doesn't count?! *pouts*

Anyway, I thought WWIV had a quintuple-lynch, but apparently, it was just a triple. :(

[Rikae]

Unless this game was started before I was a member... and long before Sally was... :eek:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

*pouts* I lose. *commits seppuku*

[Durelin]

Poor Nilp. No self-vote at a time like this.

[satansaloser2005]

Sally, could we make a triple-lynch? Just toDay? Please!

Heh. Don't you wish?

I recall a game where a practically known cobbler was left until the end, because everyone kept thinking they had time before his vote would matter...

EDIT: X'd with an icon-thief. Hmph!

Yes, and it was glorious! :D

As long as you don't go beating my game's quadruple-lynch record

Hmmmm. That sounds like a challenge.


Single lynch rule suspended for toDay. Mwahahahaha!

[Rikae]

Yay! How about we lynch everybody?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You heard the Moddess. Quintuple-lynch it is.

[the phantom]

I forced a five-way tie in one of Fea's games with only a few seconds left until the deadline.

But Sauce ruined it and broke the tie. :mad:

[satansaloser2005]

Of course if you all completely screw this up and manage to end the game toDay I will be quite cross. I'm just sayin'.

[Mithalwen]

Oooh so tempting Miss Moddess...


As some day it may happen that some victims must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!

[Isabellkya]

Hm.

I say we go with a double lynch. Of Rikae and Nilp. Both with Cobbler DNA, and both are trying to look Cobblery.


o.O

[satansaloser2005]

Incidentally, Kath is currently unable to access the Downs due to internet problems, so until she returns she is off the lynch block. Just sayin'. Carry on.

[Durelin]

I wonder what the end of toDay is going to look like. Probably half the votes in at exactly 10:00 pm CT...and think of the retractions....

[Macalaure]

Rikae, Nilp, and who else? ;)

What Durelin didn't mention was that that quadruple lynching was staged exclusively by ordos - and killed exclusively ordos. In other words, on this very day, we have been given the unique opportunity to screw up big and thoroughly. :D

[Isabellkya]

I can't seem to decide whether or not people have really lost their minds.

[Durelin]

Yes, four brave ordos made a pact...it was epic. :D

With two cobblers in the game, no less...

[satansaloser2005]

:smokin:

[Mithalwen]

There's the pestilential nuisances who try to get you killed--
And pesky cobblers whether meat or fruit filled--
And people who are leaders and try to raise a cheer--
They fill me with great fear, they fill me with great fear--
But my dearest boy - I'll leave him off the list--
I know that he'll be missed, I know that he'll be missed


CHORUS. She's got 'em on the list--she's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of
'em be missed.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Who'll join Rikae in saying, 'No fair'? :D

How about Lari?

[Isabellkya]

o.O

What did the baby digital watch say to the mommy analog watch?

Look ma, no hands!



You know, I think it time we all speak as plainly as we are allowed to.

[Mithalwen]

Lari is an Enigma.

but I need to continue my variations on Sir Arthur's theme......

All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and
likewise--Never-mind,
And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who--
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be
missed!

[Mithalwen]

o.O

What did the baby digital watch say to the mommy analog watch?

Look ma, no hands!

.

Or maybe that should be Gilberts...

I have already pushed my luck ........


Which was warmer? The mummy otter or the baby otter?

The baby because he was a little 'otter.:D

[Nerwen]

HOORAY!!!!
Let's drag our fellows
To the gallows!
As they gasp for air
We'll raise a cheer!
It's so much fun
Killing everyone!
It's lynching time, lynching time,
Happy, happy, lynching time!:):)

.......

.......

...Um... seriously... are you all crazy?:(

[Gwathagor]

Having read:

Rikae and Nilp are both wicked. That is clear; the only question is whether they are both cobblers, or whether one is a wolf. IF either is a wolf, I would guess Nilp.

I would be happy to try to double-lynch them, since Kath is off limits toDay.

[Nogrod]

So if Mith is "delivering" ducks, she's doing so in a way we don't want. Either she's part of a growing flock, throwing the others to the village to make herself look good, or she is actually causing the flock to grow somehow.Or might it be you who are doing it? (the bolded thing I mean) Interesting you came up with such a role to this game just by yourself...

A nice detail: you said you knew who the ducks were. Of course you know then...

The more I think of that the more credible it starts to look like. You Rikae are the spawner of the ducks around here - and you count on us not daring to lynch you because you promise us fire and brimstone or looking more like a cobbler wishing herself lynched. I mean in a way you do those both at the same time - at least you did so yesterDay as I remarked already then.

It becomes anyway much more symmetric and more neat this way as well.

The baddies have a duck-giver, we have a duck-killer.

One of the weird roles (Mith) at least started good - and the other (Nilp) then started bad.

Now whether Mith by her Nightly deed of saving us from a kill stayed a goodie or turned into neutrality - or even to evil - is something we don't know. And what would happen if Nilp was lynched I'm not too happy to try out.

[Mithalwen]

Why do you think Nilp is evil? Nilp is being Nilp and a good son.... Rikae is a distraction.... And Nogrod .... more constructive to look at my days than speculate about my nights....

[Gwathagor]

Why do you think that the number of ducks is growing, and that it wasn't just high to begin with? And why don't you want to lynch Nilp?

[Isabellkya]

I don't think ducks are spawning, or growing for that matter.
Simply cobblerisms. Picked up by paranoia... insanity? Fed by further cobblerisms.
The End.


X'd with Gwath.

[Macalaure]

Without Kath, I'm out of regular suspects anyway. Whether and how to arrange a multiple lynching, I will leave to your wise counsels. ;)

[satansaloser2005]

Lynch carefully. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOrgLj9lOwk)

[Rikae]

If we're doing a multi-lynch, Mith better be in it.

[Gwathagor]

If we're doing a multi-lynch, Mith better be in it.

I can't speak for the rest of the village, but I know that I am in the habit of taking advice from cobblers.

[Mithalwen]

You would say that since getting me lynched woul dbe the biggest help you could give the ducks.

I suppose you will claim I turned you into a Newt (but you got better)?

Your...your mom?

I'm not even sure about her anymore...

[Isabellkya]

The internet. you can always trust the webs, on everything.

[Gwathagor]

I'm not even sure about her anymore...

Particularly after everything I heard about her from the phantom.

[Rikae]

Mith claims to be "delivering ducks" but, even if ducks required medical assistance to bring ducklings into the world, they aren't delivered, they are hatched. Hence, Mith is lying. Or maybe she's speaking in spiritual terms, but since most major religions agree that ducks do not have immortal souls in need of deliverance, Mith is most likely lying.

Or, seriously: what duck has Mith "delivered" to the village? Two were lynched fair and square; one was killed by an assassin who was not necessarily Mith.

[Rikae]

What I'm saying is perfectly logical, you don't need to trust me to believe it. Just look at what Mith has said. It doesn't add up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx5KDyvlG3Q&feature=related).

[Gwathagor]

Or, seriously: what duck has Mith "delivered" to the village? Two were lynched fair and square; one was killed by an assassin who was not necessarily Mith.

And you are now trying to...help the vilage?

[Durelin]

Rick Astley.

[Gwathagor]

That's how I roll.

[Isabellkya]

I think she is more like a taxi cab.

[Mithalwen]

You are ignoring the Soul Cake Duck.

[Nogrod]

Why do you think that the number of ducks is growing, and that it wasn't just high to begin with? And why don't you want to lynch Nilp?Relevant questions.

Now it all began yesterday - I had indeed forgotten about it, but after Day2 I had written myself some points I should have to remember to think of on Day3 if I were still alive. The last thing I had written down was the following: "The number of ducks increases unless the mother goose is eliminated?". It came back to me when I saw Rikae's post about Mith spawning new ducks. I went back to look at the last moments of Day2 to finally find the piece that triggered the idea. It's indeed from Sally's narration.

Early in the Morning, before most of the village had even considered getting up, the were-ducks and their duckess-in-chief Mnemo met to discuss strategy for the Day. When Mnemo joined the band of baddies she heard Wilwa and another feather-faced female joking about Legate's body, which had started to sprout cucumber plants. She recognized Nienna in the Dawn light and approached the group, smacking Nienna on the shoulder to get her attention.

“Let's get down to business, make the village gone
Did they send me hatchlings when I asked for swans?
You're the saddest player I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Nienna, I'll make a duck out of you”So someone sent a hatchling-Nienna to the ranks of Mnemo the arch-duckess (should we lynch her indeed? :p) during Night2? That was the idea I had yesterday. Now it looks like Rikae is just fitting that role only too well.

About Nilp then. He's almost too keen to get himself lynched and it feels foul. It also fits the kind of symmetry-requirement every mod feels tempted to lay on her/his game.

But more telling is, I think, his behaviour yesterDay. He only started his frantic show after wilwa was dead but Mith had already hinted about her abilities before that. Also it seems he has been all the time trying to get himself killed before wilwa's death by speaking merely nonsense, but after it he took stronger measures coming up with all these: "I'm leaving everything to my minions", "Fear me!", "You haven't killed a single fuzzy wuzzy wolfie yet", the "Fibonacci Sequence" and all that... and after getting the second vote there was this (Fea's vote post quoted in the post): "Just . . . one . . . more".

So he tried to mess with us, tried to cease the moment and achieve something with it. Counting on us killing him just out of pure annoyance and messing things up?

But if he really has some magical powers as the flashing light (and the most probable killer of wilwa in bright daylight - which I still believe is Mith with all the evidence mainly relating to her tp-fever of two first Days which suddenly died after the Night-action) had, then I would not wish to try and see what powers he would gain after we lynched him.
