I might not be able to expect people to believe it, but I can still know it's true.

In other news . . . :eek: :eek: :eek: Ooooooo. Kay? That's either a wolf picking the safest gifted to declare himself to be, or a hunter who's confident enough he has a wolf to allow himself to be killed.

EDIT: X'd with everybody from G55's summary onwards.

Seems normal to me...for a first post on Day 1, anyway. Not serious, nothing suspicious.

Nothing bad there. Still Day 1 content. Expresses hatred for wolves. Natural for an player.


That's just...gross.

His feathers weren't ruffled about being voted for by Glirdan, so long as the vote was random, apparently.

No comment necessary.

Oooh, ouch. Pretty much says, 'Since your not the seer, even if you're an innocent, I won't trust you.'

Again, not really anything to comment on.

The question is, who else took him seriously? It was a joke, obviously. Why can't we tease about wolf-ish names? He wasn't really making an accusation. That would have hurt if it'd come after a post that was trying to make Boromir look like a wolf.

It's been addressed already by others.

Why especially you? Some people wouldn't react. And just be cause you know he's not a gifted doesn't make him a guilty party. His behavior today has been such that I would really guess he's not a guilty party. So to not be bothered to vote for him really doesn't make sense. It would bother me to vote for a person who was likely an innocent.

Is being continued, wanted to get this out before deadline.

No just one who understands his role and can be just as deadly to the wolves whether they know he's the hunter or not. But I can't be deadly to the wolves if I'm lynched.

Okay, so apparently Boromir got frightened that Bom's glib comment would get him lynched. Fair 'nuff.

Oh, look...that's it.

My opinion...a bit over the top defensive and worried that such a comment would get him lynched. Really, it seems to me more dangerous to respond to such a thing than to just let it lie.

Edit: I X-posted with a few people since beginning my analysis. Pretty much since I last posted.

No, indeed!

:eek:

Edit: xed with a few

I'm going to vote for whoever it is that will save me. So please...start voting like...now

Actually, Boro, you can take out a wolf even if you're lynched. See Lottie's post above.

However, unless you're certain of having one, you'd want to be cautious on Day 1.

I'll post my vote in a few. Just wanna let others have their say.

Ok, well I won't be voting for Boro today. He could be lying but it's really not worth the risk this early on.

Right now I'm thinking of voting for one of the submarines.

Here with two minutes to spare... are there really only four votes thus far? I skimmed page 2 and all of page 3 thus far so I could post once before having to vote...

You don't understand. I did not get a pick during Night 1. I have no name to give in and it only applies to being killed. Not lynched.

Oh. True. Vote in a minute.

Well, now I'm willing to give Boromir the benefit of the doubt, even if he is mistaken on how the rules work. And I don't have a whole lot of ideas on others, because all the analysis came out within ten minutes of the DL. So a wild shot in the dark would be

++Inziladun

Because he kind of tripped my radar, and voted for me. Vengeance is mine!

Boro claims Hunter, have to vote to save him, will think about it when I can.

++Glirdan

Ok, I've decided to go with

++Sally

edit: x-ed with everything since my last

Lynched too, Lottie said.

I'll be voting for a submarine.

Oh, this is going to be messy.

Ack, I thought Glirdan had the most votes except for Boro, but couldn't remember for sure... I have no idea what's just happened.

++Eruhen

Edit: xed

++Bom

(How to make it red? Sorry)

I flipped a coin - heads Boro dies, tails Glirdy dies - missed it, and it rolled under the couch. I flipped another one, and it landed on tails.

Glirdy has been lynched. Narration to follow.

[ highlight][ /highlight], without spaces.

The cast gathered around the body - it seemed the appropriate, if slightly nauseating, place to decide on the Day's lynch. They argued about many things, such as paychecks, shoulder steaks and bacon, and acting ability, but as the Day came to a close, the discussion turned inevitably back to the lynch.

"I think it should be Boro!" Bom shouted.

"No, no! Bom!" Boro shouted.

"Someone else?" Zil offered. Bom and Boro turned to him.

"No!" they both exclaimed.

"Hang on, I liked the 'someone else' idea," McCaber said.

"Like Glirdy!" Eomer said.

"Yeah, that'll work," Shasta said. He grabbed Glirdy and pulled him towards the edge of the nearby bottomless pit. Glirdy pulled Boro with him, so that the two possibly lynches stood balanced on the edge together.

"No, not Boro!" Eonwe said, trying to push his way forwards. This was made difficult by the fact that so was everyone else. With all the flailing limbs, one of them (possibly either belonging to Foley or Sally) hit Glirdy, and the actor toppled backwards into the pit.

The others froze, staring as Glirdy fell. For a long, long time.

"Y'know, once you get past the impending death, this is kind of boring," he called after a while, his voice getting softer every moment. "I was innocent, you know." With that, the rest of the cast slunk off to their respective trailers for the Night.

Night 2 has begun. PMing should now commence among those with PMing roles.

When the rest of the cast had fallen asleep, the three actors gathered around the pit, staring down into it bleakly.

"So he's actually dead?" one finally asked.

"As far as I can tell," another answered.

"But we're not killing them. We're just using fake blood and chloroform."

"Well, what'd you expect? How else are they supposed to get rid of us?"

"I don't know, lock us in a hobbit hole or something?"

"Yes, because that's such an awful punishment."

"I'd prefer it to dying."

"I'd prefer to have earned my death, if I have to die."

"So...you want us to actually kill someone?"

"Let's give it a go, at least."

With that, the actors rose to their feet and resolutely marched off to kill their target.

"Hang on, where are you guys going?" one asked.

"To go kill {censored}, of course."

"We did not talk about killing {censored}! Where'd you get that idea?"

"Now that you mention it, we didn't talk about anyone in particular at all."

"Yeah, that might be kind of important."

Several minutes and one poking war later, the actors had reached their decision. Putting their hands in a pile, they shouted "Break!"

"...that was silly-looking," one said after an awkward silence.

"Yep."

"...let's just go."

"Yep."

And so, silent not for stealth but out of slight embarresment, the three slunk off to one of the trailors. Gathering around the sleeping actor, they looked at each other, frowning.

"How does this work again?"

"I don't know. I've never killed anyone before."

Shrugging, one of the actors grabbed several packets of fake blood out of his pocket. Opening a handful, he forced open the victim's jaw and poured it all in. He then held the other actor's mouth closed with one hand and covered his nose with the other until the victim stopped struggling to breathe.

"That works," one of his fellows said.

"I like the blood splattery affect," the other said.

"Thanks," said the killer, wiping the rest of the fake blood off on the victim's pillow. Silently, the actors slipped back to their own trailers.

As the sun rose the next morning, the cast gathered to see if anyone else was missing. After a quick head count, they discovered that the actor who'd played Elrond - Zil - was missing. They ran to his trailer to make sure he hadn't just overslept, and were quicky reassured that he hadn't.

"Now what?" Tum asked, face ashen with horror.

"I guess we do the same thing again," Eonwe said. "Vote to lynch someone, and try to find the murderers."

"Yes, because that turned out so well yesterDay," Foley said.

"But we know more now!" Sally said.

"Yeah - we know it wasn't Glirdy or Zil," Eomer said.

"Pessimism is not going to help," McCaber said. "We've got to figure this out, or we're all in danger."

Day 2 has started. Talking is greatly appreciated.

Please excuse my absence. I was mobbed by the paparazzi. I'm sure you all know what it's- Oh. Right. Never mind then.

So our intrepid Boromir claims to be the hunter then? How interesting. I don't expect anyone will contest his claims even if he is laying, so I think we should leave him alone for toDay and see what happens.


OOC: Abigail's dying, so I have to leave. I'll hop in and out from my phone. :)

Lottie, will you tell us Zil's role?

Eta: I assume he's ordo for now, not Gifted...

Yes, sorry, edited that in. :)

Inzil
 

(Underlining mine). On hindsight, the underlined words probably screamed "Seer" to the wolves.

Nothing much here.

The first bit referrs to finding a normal person among us (normal, not ordo :p don't get excited). The second - to Glirdy's vote. While I totall agree with his "Hmm", nothing about Zil jumps out here, or the reson for the kill.

#55 is Bomanalysis that I won't quote in full. The conclusion:

Indefinite attitude towards Bom.

This has a more accusing tone.

#70 is a vote count.

The vote. Quite out of the blue, considering that nothing much has been said of McC the entire game. It is well explained, but could have alerted the wolves if Cabbie is one of them - he wasn't the only submarine.

However, the last part points against my earlier theory of wolves killing Zil on grounds of potential Seerdom. It doesn't sound like a thing a Seer would say. However, the wolves may have thought otherwise.


So, what does this summary give us? Zil could have been mistaken for the Seer. Or, he could have simply been a villager whose death won't point to anyone in particular, or point at a wrong direction. If it's the latter, this whole thing was pretty much pointless (but I, personally, needed to go through all the posts at least because otherwise I'd bugger myself until I do :rolleyes:). However, if he was really suspected of Seering, McC and Bom, and to some extent Glirdy could have been the ones worried about him last Night.

I've probably done more flip-flopping on everyone and everything in this post than I've done throughout the entire previous game of WW, but I want to consider all the possibilities.


Now, having done this, I'll try to summarise yesterDay's votes (what a mess they were!). Hopefully they'll prove more helpful, or at least useful, than this summary.

Alrighty, since Nilp isn't here to post a vote list, I'll do it...

Night 1:
Lottie killed. Director.

Day 1 Votes:

Glirdy --> Boro (1)
Eomer --> Glirdy (1)
Bom --> Boro (2)
Zil --> Mac (1)
Mac --> Zil (1)
Boro--> Bom (1)
Shasta --> Glirdy (2)
Eonwe --> Sally (1)
G55 --> Eruhen (1)
Eruhen --> Bom (2, post-DL)

FINAL COUNT:

Glirdy, Boro - 2
Bom, Mac, Zil, Sally, Eruhen - 1


Tie between Glirdy and Boro, 2 apiece.

Glirdy lynched. Ordo.

Night 2:

Zil killed. Ordo.

First thing, what I meant responding to Eruhen here is...

(Left out quote I referred to, editting it in)
I got no choice Night 1, and don't have any activity during the day. Hence, if I was lynched yesterday there would be absolutely no chance to take a wolf with me because I did not get to send in a name on Night 1.

Now, whoever I chose last night, if I'm lynched and if the person is a wolf will die too. If not, nothing happens. If it's decided to lynch me, I will tell you who my choice was and that way if nothing happens you'll have a known innocent. Otherwise, I will keep my night picks to myself. This sound good/make sense?

Second order of business. Absolutely no excuses for the voting yesterday. None. Sorry if some of you were busy or what not, but that was ridiculous. Come on people, voting is the best chance to kill wolves. If it continues on the same path as yesterday, this will be a short and easy wolves' win. Now you see why I was testy and frantic yesterday I hope, 2 votes. 2 fricken votes lynched somebody. Inexcusable.

I can't help feeling that was the least of Glirdan's worries...

EDIT:X'd with Boro.

Sounds fair enough to me, Boro. What do the others think, though?

This, in its entirety. I'd be very interested in looking at the people who voted yesterday after Boro's Hunter claim, because apparently none of them were too invested in saving him.

Although I am a bit curious as to why Boro didn't vote Glirdan.

In any case, I'm especially interested in G55 and Eonwe. I don't remember either of them stating why they were voting who they were voting (Eruhen and sally respectively) - granted, I did skim in my rush to vote yesterday, but I think they could both do with a re-state.

Glirdy-->Boro
Eomer-->Glirdy
Bom-->Boro [2]
Zil-->McC
McC-->Zil
Boro-->Bom
Shasta-->Glirdy [2]
Eonwe-->Sally
....Lottie announces DL.....
G55-->Eruhen (though it's still :00)
Eruhen-->Bom [2] (it's :01)

7 different people were voted! :eek:

*takes a deep breath*

These are really amess, and really random. Including mine. Let's look at some explanations.

Glirdy voted randomly and early for RL reasons. Naught to pick at (as if there could be anything, him in that bottomless pit and all...:()

Eomer says:

(underlining mine). Anyone else see a double meaning in that?

Bom votes Boro and says:

Zil chooses not to take sides on the BOROBOM

Nothing wrong here either, but the vote is kinda random.

I see nothing wrong here either.

Boro votes Bom. The BOROBOM is continued.

Shasta's vote:

And later:

Ok. I also was lost in that flood of literally last-minute votes.

Eonwe votes Sally. No proper explanation (probably out of time), but said before that she's under his radar.

I vote Eruhen. I don't have time to explain, though I have said that I'm voting a submarine.

Eruhen votes Bom.

Edit: xed since my last post (it took me a long while to write this for some reason...)

Steve gave no reason; G55 voted Sally as a "submarine". That's common enough for emergency votes– but indeed, you'd think people who were simply trying save a claimed gifted would go for someone else who already had votes. I suppose they might have lost track, though.

EDIT:X'd with G55.
EDIT2: Correction: Steve voted for Sally, and G55 for Eruhen, both as "submarines".

As I said, she felt a bit submariney to me. 3 posts, all of them IC. Since she didn't mention anything about having any problems with getting on, it all seemed a bit suspicious (and unusual).

At the time of voting, the only person other than Boro to have votes was Glirdy, and with so many left to vote, it could've gone in any direction. I just voted for who I found most suspicious at the time.

That's not right. I said I'd vote for a submarine, then followed it up with a Sally-vote (with a few x-posts in between). Then, after that, G55 says that she will be voting for submarines and votes Eruhen.

:rolleyes:

My apologies to everyone. So stupid of me. Proves that by the time I reach a conclusion, my brain doesn't function anymore.

I was, as you said, rushed. Very rushed (I'm not entirely sure my vote was on time, even - it was after Lottie's DL announcement, but still at :00). I didn't want to vote someone like Sally, Nerwen, and Tum who barely said anything / didn't say anything at all, but someone who was well under my radar, like Eruhen happened, and still happens, to be.

If you want to hear why I didn't vote a +2 for someone else - it was really messy. I didn't want to take sides on anything. As Cabbie said yesterDay, everything started happening during the last 10 minutes or so. If you really want to, call my vote a throwaway. A first vote for someone who doesn't have any votes yet by DL time couldn't be called otherwise, so I won't argue.

Last game, I did a throwaway a few minutes before DL to take attention away from my packmate. But I hope no one will say that a vote made on the DL can change anyone's minds in time! :p



YesterDay I still doubted Boro's hunting abilities. I was torn between whether he's really the hunter, or a wolf who is desperate to survive, as it looks he's going to be lynched. ToDay I'm inclined to trust him more - would a wolf really go that far and risk that much? Moreover, it is now obvious what this is referring to:

Seer and Hunter. :smokin:

Edit: xed since my own again

I didn't vote Sally. Eonwe did. ;)

Edit: my bad, I read on and see that he just said the same thing.
