Scenario One: Double Lynch

Best case: Lynch one wolf and one innocent, thus ending the game (Total kill: two)
Worst case: Lynch two innocents, wolf kills one person tonight, lynch wolf tomorrow, game ends. (Total Kill: 4)

Scenario two: Single Lynch

Best case: Lynch wolf, game ends (Total kill: 1)
Worst case: Lynch Innocent, wolf kills onr, seer dreams, kill wolf in the morning (Total kill : 3)

No matter what happens the wolf cannot win. We can now choose to simply win, or to win by keeping as many villagers alive as possible. I think a bigger victory would be more satisfying than teaching Gil a lesson. (Besides, it is my experience, noin WW but in life, that those types are slow learners.)

I'm with Nogrod.

Anguirel 03-07-2006 12:39 PM

The difference between our strategies is that I'm determined that this game be over when the next narration is done. You're ready to face another night. I want to purge the final traitor of her fell spirit as soon as possible.

Her? Yes, that would be ++VALESSE.

There's an element of truth about Jenny and where she attacks, she is consistent with what I've seen of her style in her career so far. When I attacked her for her frustration, I was giving her baptism by fire. After all, I'd said something similar but a moment later.

But Valesse...her very silence, bearing in mind her articulacy, is unnerving.

Enca crossposted with her when they voted-so she did not knowingly jump to join a fellow-wolf's cause. It looked, besides, in that moment as though opinion was against Thinlomien.

She's played cautiously and carefully, she helped set up a bandwagon that might have saved the Ka thereby separating herself cunningly from Enca who indicted the Ka early, she was against the revealing even of the Seer.

This is the way I had to go, in the end. I'm only sorry it's so heavyhanded.

EDIT: Crossposted with another Gil vote...how tedious...

ANOTHER EDIT: Voted Gil by accident, thankfully it doesn't count...

JennyHallu 03-07-2006 12:39 PM

well I've got to vote now...and I'm not sure whether a single or double vote is better, but if you want a double lynch, Ang, it's still possible.

I think Roa makes sense. And I think Gil will get his lesson only by reading all we have said about him on this thread.

Thinlómien 03-07-2006 12:42 PM

Ang, you're actually very convincing, but that's too late for that now, since Eonwe won't pop up.

Well. You should have come up with this quite compact accusation a bit earlier... I also have noted the discrepancy between silence / baseless jumping and very articulate argumentation - and it is freaky! But then again, I think she was against this all-out-revelation - albeit she did not mention the seer though... could be suspicious that too?

I could be persuaded to vote for her someday, but that day is not now. Tomorrow, Elu willing, I'll do it happily if Roa has the last word on her. She's played well anyhow, compared to Gil, and in that case earns this last day of life she will have (after the game ends, we probably just kind of vanish in to the air...).

Anguirel 03-07-2006 12:55 PM

Allotted is the bell-ringer to doom,
And Doom now calls us, summoned by his bell.
Night's touch, that welcomes weary traveller home,
Homeward will take one of our folk, I fear,
The home from which no journey does set forth,
While human neck in ruthless twine doth knot,
And if I do depart, recall my name-
Anguirel, he who wished to save his skin.

Thinlómien 03-07-2006 12:56 PM

I wonder if Gil's going to vote at all...

Thinlómien 03-07-2006 12:59 PM

Ang, what was it about leaving rhymes for minstrels? ... ;)

Times up, everythings done. Death shall be tomorrow (my tomorrow >_>) due to unavoidable reasons. Expect it at around noon GMT.
Was he a wolf?

This should tell you-

Seer, Ranger, Hunter and Wolf... PM me with what you want done. :)

Nogrod 03-07-2006 01:00 PM

Well Ang and others.

I'll be watching over Roa this night.

Night drew closer, it became obvious that Gil-Galad would die. People believed that the same thing that happened with Encaitare would happen here as well but it didn't, as they prepared to kill him they all dropped asleep. But this time they weren't asleep, they were in a state of stasis. They could see and hear it all but do nothing about it. A dark cloud had vaporated around Gil-Galad and his skin slowly began to dissolve as he shook his arms around frantically in hopes of getting rid of it, screaming like a lunatic.

The few left alive watched helplessly as Gil-Galad was left there skinless after which the cloud began to dissolve his flesh ignorant of his cries of pain. A slow and painful death later, his bones dropped to the ground shattering upon hitting the ground, sending shards into the cheeks of all who had decieded to kill him, they had been marked. "It shall be over soon..." spake the voice of their host and they knew it was true.

Blood... it was the first time there was blood anywhere other than in the fountain. Yes, blood had been spilled last night. The fountain seemed to be looking longingly at it but for some reason it could have none of it. Nobody had died that night but there lay a bloody sword by the small bit of blood spilled there, somebody had definately lost a lot of blood that night but nobody seemed the least bit injured.... and very alive. The Ranger had made the save. Somewhere in the distance the same guitar could be heard along with the words, "It will be over soon." And as always, they believed.

Let us begin what looks to be the final day, good luck.

Roa_Aoife 03-08-2006 01:21 PM

Thank you for the save Nogrod. I dreamed last night of the last wolf, Jenny. Gil was right after all, and Valesse is innocent. So, I imagine no further discussion is required.

++Jenny_Hallu

Anguirel 03-08-2006 01:28 PM

Well, well.

Should have rejected that second thought.

Surely something more finessed happened last night? Why would Jenny attack an undoubtedly protected Seer rather than a declared Ranger?

Prophetess of Doom, were you working on the off-chance that Nogrod had guarded Roa last night, your only, slim hope of victory?

Why did you declare yourself anyway, Nogrod?

Well, this is rather anticlimactic. Amusing that our gallant Gifteds have been the most enthusiatic lynchers of innocents.

++NOGROD

Caused the incredibly irritating single-lynch of Gil.

And I feel sorry for the underdog, er, underwolf.

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:33 PM

*wolvish grin*

Wasn't even a slim chance of victory...'twas a slim chance of drawing it out for another Night, when I could cheerfully munch on you.

Anyway, thought you would all like to know, THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!

And I, luckily, won't have to sit around and watch.

:P

As for your vote, Ang, I am in total agreement. Nogrod has simply got to go...silly man, doing his job when he ought to be helping me kill people.

++Nogrod

Knew I should have eaten him when he first got annoying.

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:34 PM

Oh, and I'm glad you feel sorry for me...the cards were rather stacked against my kindred and I. Taking out Holby should have been a triumph.

EDIT: No offense, Roa...

Eonwe 03-08-2006 01:34 PM

Come now, Ang. Surely you are the one being most counterporductive here.

Lets wrap this up quick and easy like, shall we?

++JennyHallu

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:35 PM

Grr...

Vote for Nogrod or I'll bite.

Anguirel 03-08-2006 01:36 PM

I don't suppose there's any chance you could bite me, Jenny? I'm sure we could finish off those jokers together, what with my military experience and all...

Thanks for not devouring me by the way, damosel. Very decent of you.

Eonwe 03-08-2006 01:37 PM

Indeed, Jenny, the house has stolen your money. With two seers, there was really no way for you to survive. It had to come down to this: a pool of a few to lynch systematically. The Ranger save last night only made matters worse.

However, congrats go out to you, for, though you never made it onto the 'Innocent' list, you were never very high on the 'Suspicious' list. Good job! :D

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:40 PM

I kept thinking about it...and then you kept going off against other people for totally reasonable and totally wrong reasons...and I decided you were more useful alive. I was sure Roa was the seer, but didn't have a chance to kill her without looking bad. I fell for Naria's bluff...(grr...gnawed her innocent little boneses) and I had this sneaking suspicion Nogrod was gifted. I really should have eaten him earlier. I wondered for a while if he was the seer, but cast it off when he backed down. If he was going to go after a wolf, he needed a better reason, but I never felt quite safe killing him.

EDIT: x with Eonwe

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:42 PM

Curious...who's the hunter?

Anguirel 03-08-2006 01:46 PM

Ah. Well, I hope I wasn't entirely useless. I did bag Encaitare after all. But I agree, my recent performances have been spectacular...

Actually, why need we lynch Jenny or anyone else? An oppressive culture of violence and blood has been forced on us from above.

There should always be another way. We can keep Jenny in an ironbound cage at night.

All those in favour of an agreement vote ++MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR (not a proper bolded vote because I've voted already, sadly...)

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:47 PM

Yes! Yes! Love Jenny! Sweetest wolf ever!

Anguirel 03-08-2006 01:49 PM

You'll have to promise to be a nice wolf, and not eat people, but I trust you'll do just fine.

It's not her fault! Be accepting! Welcome her back to society!

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:53 PM

I will promise not to eat people if I am kept on a daily diet of flying squirrels and red herring. And I will let people pet me. :D

Anguirel 03-08-2006 01:56 PM

I have never survived to the end victoriously before.

Now that I have done so, I feel...guilt.

Ergo there is no way to come out of Werewolf emotionally satisfied...

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 01:58 PM

I think this game should be unique in that one. Some failed experimentation with the rules, and a mod-hint (I don't think mods should give hints, but I have been assured the one Roa picked up on was unintentional. Freudian slip?) took a lot of the challenge out of finding us, I think.

Rehabilitate WolvsyHallu!

What is going on? No, Sleepy, we do not need to stretch this out! Anything but that!

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 02:03 PM

I may be the doomed wolf (unless rehabilitated) but I agree...it is time for this to end.

Anguirel 03-08-2006 02:08 PM

Thinlomien's the Hunter, by the way, I'm practically certain. (My last opportunity to be wrong in some respect...)

Well, this Herald is happy to have survived, but from now on he's hanging up his sword and locking away his books of coats of arms, and will turn to what you must spotted is his obvious hobby, poetry...

Ang, don't take full credit for Enca. I was right behind you, only forgot to vote both nights as well. My spring break schedule, as you can imagine has been pretty hectic.

Sorry Ang... :p

It was meant as a joke >_>

Anguirel 03-08-2006 02:11 PM

Sorry. Allow me to hang my head...

Perfect. I was wrong about Thinlomien too...you schemer, Eonwe!

EONWE: Yep, everyone should reveal their roles.

VOICE INSIDE EONWE'S HEAD: So why aren't you revealing yours?

EONWE: Why, so that no one else will reveal it, of course...

Most cunning.

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 02:12 PM

Yeah, I didn't think Lommy was the hunter...too flip-floppy, as the hunter she'd be playing more carefully. I was 70% sure the hunter was you, Ang...but Eonwe and Valesse were my next choices. I was pretty sure Naria was the Ranger, and then when she bluffed...Gah!

Eonwe 03-08-2006 02:13 PM

Ha ha! The thing was, I didn't want to come out until the seer came out, as she had the largest pool of innocents. If I did, I would have stuck out like a sore thumb. As it was, I could only get on after Roa came out and the day ended, so I never got a chance.

Sleepy Ranger 03-08-2006 02:13 PM

Shall I just put up the end and get this over with or would you like to wait till tomorrow?

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 02:15 PM

If you put up the end now, it's a double lynch. At least wait until the rest of the innocents have checked in. Maybe someone else will support my rehabilitation!

JennyHallu 03-08-2006 02:16 PM

Unless, of course, my friends the lunchme--I mean villagers, sorry Ang...old habits--prefer otherwise.
