I don't know, I would argue that Sally is the biggest submarine. While Shasta may have less posts, I feel like his at least have more content than hers.

EDIT: X-post...and coincidentally Sally has posted some more content.

Shastanis Althreduin 07-17-2017 05:37 PM

++Legate I still feel that he's evil. I know I haven't given any real argument towards that being the case, and I apologize for being so very lackluster.

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:39 PM

If we think the Dead communicated to us then Zil was innocent. Of the Zil band-wagon there are three alive toDay: Nerwen, Boro and Eönwe.

YesterDay two of these, Nerwen and Eönwe, voted for an innocent person trying seriously to get the ball rolling - and they have continued with the same target toDay. You naturally do not know this target's innocence, but I do.

If I was the EW, I would have chosen people like Brinn or Lalaith if looking for easy-going trustworthy wolves, or then maybe Nerwen for more effect. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when have you seen one of these to be lynched early in the game? A submarine is oftentimes a safe bet as well as they tend to be seldom lynched (there's always a "better" candidate).

I see one name popping out from all the three situations...

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-17-2017 05:40 PM

All right

Wizards: Nerwen & Brinniel

Wolves/Gifteds: (Loslote), Boro, Lalaith, Shasta, Sally, Legate

Poor little ordos: Eonwe, Nogrod, and me.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-17-2017 05:44 PM

I'm gonna guess both Nogrod and Legate are around and willing to lynch Boro?

Brinniel 07-17-2017 05:46 PM

My top suspects for lynching are Legate and Eonwe. Legate for reasons I stated earlier toDay and my opinion of Eonwe has not changed since yesterDay.

Nogrod is another I'm still considering, but I'm feeling slightly hesitant about him.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-17-2017 05:47 PM

Of course, we're all in the same group (with Lalaith) if the Dead want to indicate that Loslote was predator - does that matter?

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:47 PM

I kind of doubted Boro would be a wolf, but then someone made a fair point: after seeing that he survived the D1-stuff the EW realised he'd sail through and turned him.

Like said, I'm not sure it is a great reason to vote for someone, but it is reason, especially if one thinks the person acts fishy or oddly anyway.

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:50 PM

I'm all for lynching Eönwe, not that much for Legate - I have doubts on everyone, naturally, but nothing special towards him (his latest posts have seem okay to me).

Legate of Amon Lanc 07-17-2017 05:53 PM

I am obviously not opposed to lynching Boro.

Well if so, vote-wise it doesn't matter, and then the narration will tell who of us was empowered in such case, but it does not really make a difference in terms of votes.

EDIT: x-ed with Nog

satansaloser2005 07-17-2017 05:53 PM

++Steve


I'm more comfortable with him than Nog or Legate at this point, and I think this could be a safe shot at a redirection of the lynch. I certainly feel better about this than throwing behind one of the other current trains.



x'd with Legate

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:53 PM

Stupid or not, I'll vote in time and open a third choice.

++ Boro


Eönwe -> Nogrod
Nerwen -> Nogrod 2
Boro -> Legate
Shasta -> Legate 2
Sally -> Eönwe
Nogrod -> Boro


EDIT: X'd with Sally... hmm...

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-17-2017 05:54 PM

++boro

satansaloser2005 07-17-2017 05:54 PM

Of course, if this ends up as a huge tie, I'll be very cross with myself. :rolleyes:


x'd with Nog and Eomer :eek:

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:55 PM

Now this got interesting then...

Lalaith 07-17-2017 05:55 PM

Ok, I don't know what to do.
Nogs was ringing alarm bells all over the place for me yesterDay at DL and i was, at the time, thinking "oh my goodness what is this, I am so going to push for a lynch if I survive the night". (Well I thought something along those lines but I've cleaned it up as we can't cuss on the Downs) And what is worrying me is that he keeps explaining why he missed the deadline but hasn't explained why he needed to wait *until* the deadline

I would still be up for voting to lynch Boro. Particularly as he said he wasn't going to be weird anymore and then his vote for Legate was really weird.

Eomer I voted for on Day 2 but then other people started worrying me more: he is being very insouciant and genial at the moment and that's nice, but I wonder if I was wrong to take my eye off him. Nobody else seems to suspect him though.

And then there's Eonwe. He's like one of those pictures where you don't know if you see a vase or two faces...one minute I look and see innocence, the next I totally see why Brinn was gunning for him.

I do not think Legate is guilty and won't vote for him. I am totally at sea about Nogs. I fear I will regret whatever I do.

Legate of Amon Lanc 07-17-2017 05:56 PM

Ok, let's just do it.

++Boro

EDIT: xed with Nog and Lal

Lalaith 07-17-2017 05:56 PM

++ Boro

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:56 PM

The Dead will be very happy indeed. :rolleyes:

Brinniel 07-17-2017 05:56 PM

++Eonwe

EDIT: X-ed since #576

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:57 PM

Highlight!

satansaloser2005 07-17-2017 05:57 PM

My sweet Boro! What have you done? :(



Well, if I'm right and the lynch doesn't go through, at least we'll know.

Lalaith 07-17-2017 05:58 PM

yes I know, I know, I've just gone back and done it!
*flustered*

Nogrod 07-17-2017 05:58 PM

This should be correct?

Eönwe -> Nogrod
Nerwen -> Nogrod 2
Boro -> Legate
Shasta -> Legate 2
Nogrod -> Boro
Eomer -> Boro 2
Legate -> Boro 3
Lalaith -> Boro 4
Brinn -> Eönwe

satansaloser2005 07-17-2017 05:59 PM

You missed mine, which makes it....

Eönwe -> Nogrod
Nerwen -> Nogrod 2
Boro -> Legate
Shasta -> Legate 2
Sally -> Steve
Nogrod -> Boro
Eomer -> Boro 2
Legate -> Boro 3
Lalaith -> Boro 4
Brinn -> Steve 2


That means it's Boro regardless of empowerment, right?

Legate of Amon Lanc 07-17-2017 06:00 PM

Ok, was that everyone voting? Probably was.

Nogrod 07-17-2017 06:00 PM

This was even more sudden than yesterDay's voting even if it took place a few minutes earlier.

Well, let's hope it went well. I kind of have a feeling we might have done good.

Kuruharan 07-17-2017 06:00 PM

Deadline
 
The Deadline has come.

Please stop posting.

Narration to follow.

satansaloser2005 07-17-2017 06:00 PM

Lord Kuru, we beg you, appear! *throws glitter and bone dust*


x'd with the mod due to internet hiccups. Curses, foiled again!

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-17-2017 06:01 PM

Oh Dead! Though you hate and envy we Living, please send us a gift!

Kuruharan 07-17-2017 06:28 PM

NIGHT Five
 
It was a busy DAY among the guests.

Except for the hours long pauses where they just sat and stared at each other.

Then they would burst into frantic activity...and then stop.

Shastanis Althreduin suddenly leapt to his feet and cried, "I FEEL STRANGELY EMPOWERED!"

"That's nice, dear," said one of the other guests.

"Let's kill Boro," suddenly piped up one.

"Good idea," said another.

"He's wanted to die for ages," agreed a third.

"But I'm not invoking the magic words," said Boro. "I don't want to die now."

"Too bad!"

*grab*

"But...wait, waaaaaait! I don't want to die now! I have a plan...

CLUNK!!!

Those who were expecting something weird to happen were surely disappointed as his head sheared off and rolled away across the ground.

"Oh well, he's in a better place," said an oddly cheerful voice.

Those who knew his head would sheer off were mad with glee.

An Announcement
 
The Deadline for the start of the next day will be two hours earlier at 6:00 PM US Eastern.

I have a work meeting tomorrow evening and will not be able to post at the usual time.

I'm quite sorry about this, but there is no help for it.

DAY Five
 
bzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzz booOOOOOoop *fizzle*

"Can you believe this?!" came a voice.

That was the only noise in the NIGHT.

Suddenly, dawn came suspiciously early. Surely that couldn't portend anything.

The guests gathered round the guillotine.

As was expected by this point, their number was reduced by one.

No more Nogrod.

In spite of his absence, this promised to be a most interesting DAY.

This gets stranger and stranger. And scarier. What are all these noises meant to mean?

Well, it looks like Nogs was innocent after all, so I'm glad we didn't lynch him.
I've been thinking about what the Dead are trying to tell us (apart from the rather depressing fact that Lottie was innocent, as well). They seem to like the votes for Eonwe and Legate.
Also, if we are all still here - are we innocents still in a small majority? (5 versus 3, in that case?)
Or can the game not end until there is a Duel?

satansaloser2005 07-18-2017 05:10 PM

Curiouser and curiouser. I need a drink.... :rolleyes:

Shastanis Althreduin 07-18-2017 06:57 PM

I would not have expected the wolves to kill Nogrod, that's for sure.

Will try to do an actual coherent post-analysis at some point today on Legate.

They must have thought he was a gifted/ the GW. It certainly isn't a no-trace kill, and it doesn't make sense as a frame.

...And now you know why I kept getting cold feet about voting him, even though he was really acting awfully suspicious. I've seen Nog get obsessed like that as an innocent (and as a wolf).

Wasn't it clarified that it still works like a normal game, in that respect?

About the Dead- I think they make their decision as to whom to empower during the Day, don't they? So likely before all the votes are in. Or were those early votes?

I wondered if they killed him as a scry - they might have wondered if he was the GW.
The wolves have, I suppose, two goes at a GW scry each Night - if they try to turn or kill the GW they get told they've found him/her, right?

Well, the target's failure to die would convey that anyway.

Was the site down for anyone else?
