Splendid, I say. Really at least morm started looking terribly fishy lately (along with Eomer, if you ask me) and the general unhelpfulness of these people who were kinda hanging around, knowing that they should make a list for the Dead so that we can vote, but kinda didn't, that was really bad...

Undoubtedly they will be much more on top of their game though and leave us no way to communicate the intended message... :rolleyes:

It seems to be under debate, but yeah, I think we should try to cast our vote in order to empower the lynch we agree on. And they could even be clever enough to get that as a message.

Night Four: Firefoot and Eomer.. Ordos.

Night Five: Form and Morm. Wolves.

Nilp, I hope you are taking notes (I hope you make it back). :)

For that matter, sadly I can't participate in the spamming now, gotta go painting walls, but, I'll be back later today!

Welcome Nerwen!

And in case you really are ther Seer, that was a superb job! Hooray!

That reservation sure is a normal WW-procedure as in this game we all know anything can happen, but yes, I'm buiyng your seership for the time being as I don't have any major reason not to and we can hopefully even get some more evidence on it.

If things are that way then, it's great we have five wolves caught. The next task is to get two of them lynched in the Living Thread. With three of them here to derail the voting we need to be careful - and hope for the Living making some wise and early decisions we can then stick with.

Surely, I think, our main goal toDay will be giving an extra vote to someone voting either morm or Form - and hopefully helping in lynching him.

But yes, so many things can happen, like no one votes either of them etc.

Feeling good, anyway.

Aganzir 06-10-2015 03:54 AM

Lottie, is it late evening or early morning for you? That is, should I do a lot of spamming before you go to bed or wait for others to help?

Oh look at that genuine consternation! :Merisu:

Throw your caution to the wind, man!

Now Boro has a day off so we may need to hurry though! We have (after this) 40 to go, they 42.

I loved Mad Max: Fury Road! I suppose quoting it might have counted as a ranger/lover hint to those who have seen it - after all I cultivated Warboy references. I live, I die, I live again! (Then again, spraying mouth with silver paint was also appropriate for a hunter out to get some wolves - I may have mentioned to Kuru that while my preferred weapon is bow & arrows, I also like biting and clawing.)

As to books, Jack Glass by Adam Roberts was brilliant.

Nerwen 06-10-2015 04:56 AM

Now, I'm just going to repeat what I said before: I will likely not be around for toDay's DL, so it might be best to count me out of the actual vote (however we/they decide to operate this time).

Also, remember that I can dream of the dead now. I propose dreaming of toDay's lynch victim if unknown, otherwise of one of you whose role hasn't been checked yet. In the latter case, I'm open to suggestion.

This is what Form is.

Morm is equally creepy.

Watched these at work. Shouldn't have. Burst out laughing at Form. Hey Tweedleform - whenever you read this - is that how you and Nienna got together? ;)

Out of Nog and Rikae, the former is creepier. Rune probably isn't relevant right now.

No as a matter of fact, you spoke about Boro, Lommy, Firefoot and me. So if you're not a wolf, Mac is just a very persistent liar. ;)

Mac and morm are both dads, and after the last episode of GoT, we all know dads are evil.

Clearly Nog is the third member of their pack.

I still haven't seen the latest episode (I know shocking! You'll laugh but it's because I've been too caught up in WW - and well you remember how long I stayed up on Monday which is when it's available for Europeans :rolleyes:) but the joke was worth this mild spoiler. :D

So you can fill this thread with awful dad jokes.

Which reminds me that I was going to post this...

Agan - brace yourself and make sure you have some of that tipple that Nog was offering earlier, or even something stronger, by your side. I screamed at least three times.

Yeah, the NIGHT 5 narration was also unclear about Nerwen so let's hope that throws them off the track re Nilp. Now they're pretty sure the seer is dead though, and I bet they'll comb the thread extra carefully to find sally's lover and make sure there won't be an awkward meeting in the morning.

Lalaith 06-10-2015 05:53 AM

Maybe you should check Rikae, Nerwen. We already have evidence that mums can be evil, too...

Aganzir 06-10-2015 05:59 AM

Here's one for our esteemed mod.

Rikae 06-10-2015 06:04 AM

Rikae 06-10-2015 06:07 AM

Lottie has very effectively stopped us from discussing (or at least, thinking about) much of anything toDay.

Do you think she could be a wolf?

Firefoot 06-10-2015 06:17 AM

It seems like the best case scenario to me is that the village votes to lynch either form or morm and we empower a vote for the other. Might require too many variables to line up right and too much coordination at the deadline though.

Hmm. How about we quickly make it to 1,050 now to get it over with?

I was going to have more time to play today but my extroversion got the better of me and I'm going for afternoon tea with a couple of coworkers before seeing friends in the evening. Bad me. But I'll be around as much as I can.

Yeah. I believe Form is a safer choice because he's been under more suspicion. so if there will be enough non-wolves around at the deadline, those who have to vote early might be able to risk voting somebody who's likely to vote him.

Kath, perhaps - that would probably get the message across given her voting history? :D

Maybe he remembered that I like uncloaking too much to save it for when I actually have a role. :o

Fierce indeed. Back in the days, I counted the wins/losses of every player. Roa had 15 wins and 4 losses. Best winning percentage of anyone, and it isn't even remotely close.

I stopped at WW75 for some reason. I should update it. :)

Hey, just realized this game's number is my lucky number.

Nerwen 06-10-2015 06:51 AM

Oh Rikae, I see you got to fake-reveal as the Seer after all.:D

Nerwen 06-10-2015 06:56 AM

Meanwhile, in the land of the living...

I commend you for your kill of Macwolf; however I'm still uncertain of Lalwolf and you never indicated what you felt suspicious about her.

Additionally, I've been thinking about Kath and there are two major concerns that are brought to my mind. First, she could be a wolf who is hiding by posting minimally. A viable strategy to be sure and she has been somewhat immune to any major suspicion up to this point. It's also a strategy that helps ensure you don't get to be a target of a seer dream. Second, if she is innocent, she becomes a liability the further we go. We will need all villagers to be present and up to speed on what's going on. Overall, this is a concern we need addressed.

Boromir, to your question about Lal being a target for the dead, it would seem probable. A situation like that should be easy enough to orchestrate.

Something like this:

If Lalaith is a wolf give your vote to:
Form
Sally
McCaber



If she's not, give the vote to:
Boromir88
Thinlómien
Eomer


If you don't know give your vote to:
mormegil
Shastanis Althreduin
Mithalwen
Kath


Thoughts? Approval?


Aganzir 06-10-2015 07:02 AM

Convenient options in both viable categories. :rolleyes:

Aganzir 06-10-2015 07:12 AM

Esty and Mr Underhill have 100% win rates, right? Unless they joined a game while I was away or you have a minimum number of games played requirement.

7 more, village. (I think.)

Aganzir 06-10-2015 07:28 AM

So morm really wants to find out if Lalaith was a wolf or not while Mith downplays it. Morm trying to appear helpful and innocent? Morm really curious to know if the rival pack is down by one? Mith being the voice of reason? Mith trying to protect a fellow?

We will find out in six posts.
