Maybe Mith is the postulated good cobbler and Rikae the bad cobbler.

Ahahaha.
I wonder if Rikae searches for the Hunter ... and "neutralizes" them - taking away their ability to hunt.


*off to pontificate more to self*


X'd with Dury.

Ok so Mith you claim that I am on the top of your hitlist (for no apparent reason) and yet you vote for Kath. I don't understand what your reasoning is for your suspicions of anyone or even your vote. I'm not complaining that you switched your vote to hopefully catch a feathered-one but that is really suspicious.

But if Mith had such a power she possibly had last Night, then God forbid what powers the bad cobbler might have! And Rikae told us there would be some fireworks the next Night if she was left alive toDay and that it would be good for her side... :eek:

Looking back how insistent Rikae has been on lynching Mith from Day1 I'm now getting more confident those two might be a pair of some kind with weird cababilities.

This is getting both interesting and complicated... and I need some sleep shortly.

To Nog, about Mith's sig:

Been that way for a while. Quote snatched directly from Shasta's game, where we declared her the sole victor.

Keep calm. Carry on.

Thanks for the info. I only paid attention to it just a moment ago and kind of freaked out... :rolleyes:

Isabellkya 03-22-2009 06:21 PM

I remember it being shorter.

Nogrod 03-22-2009 06:37 PM

So I seem to have dwelled too long with Mith and Rikae as my time runs out.

Time wasted? Only time will tell.

So what then?

I'd strongly advice against lynching Brinn or Fea.

Or Kath to that matter; she has shown her qualities today (unlike poor Shasta who never rose to the occasion but went on from half-wittedness to babbling nonsense of strange cultures - blessed be his soul now that he is gone).


With Durelin I'm not too confident but as long as she continues to post that much of substance I'd like to have her around. She might make a difference were she a goodie or then got stumbled with her opinions vs. voting record & stuff like that were she a baddie.

The same goes for Mac. Every other time I get really bad vibes from him and on every other he feels sincere...

Isabellkya could go to the same category. I feel a bit more confident of her than with Dury or Mac, but sometimes she strikes me as a cunning duck balancing between being nice and trying to roll the ball towards those I think innocent (myself included - and that's one of the reasons I'm unhappy with my suspicions on her, that they might be based more on my feelings of her thoughts on me than to any actual things).

Of the rest I have little to say on my own as I haven't had time to go and look for them in more detail (the same goes for Izzy in part though).

There seem to be some things that rise an eyebrow to be sure - and I might pick my choice from that last-mentioned crowd as well. I need to think a minute before I vote.

Noggie, go to bed dang it!

*is now wishing she had gone with the idea of putting Noggie on a curfew, just to be evil*


In other news, I have an announcement to make soon. I'll keep ya posted.

Nerwen 03-22-2009 06:50 PM

YIPPEEEEE! There ARE posts!

This weird thing happened– I brought up the "Mirth page" and it was like, "Last post: Nerwen".

And I'm like, NOOOOO! Nobody's playing anymore!!!

But now it's okay!!!! I'm so happyyyyyy!:D:D:D

You really think that makes me think "oh, there's nothing of importance coming in, so I should just go to sleep"? :)

But really, I have to.

So I have to make a choice. I was looking at things said about Lari and Nienna. First I thought I should vote Nienna but then I looked at her last post and realised it looks more sincere than faulty - and it made me wonder again my own convictions about Mith and Kath.

I also see the case against Lari, but now as it comes to it I'm not so sure anymore. It looks like a too easy a choice to be true - and it's not so clear she's a baddie if you look at her lists etc.

But then I came to think about this.

Nilp has not offered too much anything in a way of actually saying something and could be hiding behind that clownery - and I oppose his lists almost totally (eg. he must have evil intentions as I couldn't be that wrong :rolleyes:) + he voted on Day3 like out of thin air! One should have something to go on on Day3, please!

So it looks more like deliberate "avoiding controversies and staying behind a mask" -tactics than just toying around as an ordo with nothing to do (there are no such persons in this game - and to require Nilp to play a jester is like asking water to be moist and call it psychological pressuring of water...).

Middle of Day Three

The Night's events, or rather lack thereof, had finally gotten too much for the little band of refugees. They'd been driven to drink. Literally, Rikae had herded them toward the old bar, talking about her suspicions of Mith the whole way there.

By the middle of the afternoon the village was spackled, nay, plastered.

Of course they weren't quite out of it enough to not notice Wilwa rush in.

“I'm blind!” she screamed. “I'm blind!”

“Well duh,” Nilp put in, rolling his eyes and pouring himself another drink. “You'd have to be blind, deaf, or dumb to stick around here and....well, crap.”

Wilwa closed her eyes and the villagers who were watching closely were able to see blood running down her cheeks where there should have been tears as she started shouting again.

“I have seen [censored] uncloaked!”

“The next person to say 'that's what she said' dies,” remarked Nilp, but his comment was drowned out by Wilwa's shrieks of pain and they all watched as her eyes melted from her head, the flow of the white -now molten- liquid barely stopping before she collapsed to the floor.

“What....the....”

They all watched carefully, expecting the rest of her body to burst into fire, but instead of flames erupting from her skin feathers sprouted from her fingers, toes, and....well, everything else.

The rest of the were-ducks shifted uncomfortably in their chairs and, sufficiently sobered up now, the group stepped around Wilwa's corpse and left the bar to attend to business.



The Dead
Sally (stabbed in a case of mistaken identity by a non-six-fingered Phantom on Night 0)
Phantom (made into a very unhealthy breakfast on Night 0)
Legate (ordo, pickled on Day 1)
Mira (Ophelia, ordo, drowned on Night 1)
Shasta (Hamlet, ordo, semi-accidentally poisoned on Night 1)
Lommie (were-duck, axed on Day 2)
Wilwa (were-duck, blinded by the light in the middle of Day 3)


A note: Wilwa was not modfired, she was killed mid-Day by....erm, can't say now, can I? ;)

Nilpaurion Felagund 03-22-2009 07:37 PM

That's what she said.

Going to a late supper. Back before deadline, and if you need me before then Lari's got my number and she can let me know. Back soon, dear minions!

Brinniel 03-22-2009 07:47 PM

:eek:

And apparently I was right about wilwa too....

Rikae 03-22-2009 07:48 PM

So are all the ducks going to die one by one now, having seen Mith the Gray (or whoever) uncloaked?

In that case, the only sensible thing to do is to lynch someone we don't suspect of being a duck, since there must be other baddies about, or the game would be over.

satansaloser2005 03-22-2009 07:49 PM

As I leave to stuff my face....
 
Note: there are clues in this narration, not about people but about how Wilwa ended up dead. Suffice to say that it was a mid-Day kill by someone who completed a task and had a kill as a result.


EDIT: x'd with Brinn and Rikae. And to answer Rikae's question, no.

Nerwen 03-22-2009 07:50 PM

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

EDIT: x'd since Brinniel.

Nilpaurion Felagund 03-22-2009 07:51 PM

Seem to me all the uses of this world.

Brinniel 03-22-2009 07:54 PM

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

(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 03-22-2009 08:01 PM

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 03-22-2009 08:02 PM

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 03-22-2009 08:05 PM

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