Poor, poor Feanor, why couldn't she have been abducted by aliens to live an adventurous life in far away galaxy?

Now how would this young one know that? I suppose no one is going to fess up to saying this. But I guess we will have to go on this information being correct to rid us of these foul beasts.

Moderator's Note: Many narrations were prepared, outlined, or even entirely written before roles were assigned. There are no Freudian Slips, there is no hidden evidence. Don't think it necessary to kill anyone because I liked the atmosphere added by having a scared little girl. I could just as easily have had a macho wood-cutter or miserable old grandmother instead.

EDIT: Second Mod Note: Some rules have been going for so long that the moderator took them for granted and [insert synonym for "forgot" that doesn't sound as much like "She screwed up"] to post them. The Hunter may not guard the same person two nights in a row.

If players have any questions, they should immediately read the mod's mind, figure out the answer, and go from there. Should they misread, their telepathic abilities will be temporarily suspended. Under no circumstances should the roles of other players be the subject of the telepathic exercise.

Learning to love that EDIT button: Every player has received his or her role and is informed of his or her place in the game. As periods are a full 24 hours, there should be no excuse not to be here.

TGWBS - Your plan sounds really good. However, I don't think that the Ranger can protect the same person two nights in a row.

Also - if the Seer dreams of the Ranger, I would say that the Seer should just say that said person is innocent... though I suppose that might make them a target for wolves. Hm...

It doesn't say that in the rules, though if the Great Deceased Mod in the Sky declares it so, the plan will have to be shelved.

True, it's much better to keep it anonymous. The wolves may decide to kill known innocents.

What a dissenter! Kill her! Lynch Her! How dare she!

No seriously I agree. I thought that has been a rule for a long while now.

Problem #2. It goes on us accepting the seer's word for it now doesn't it. How can I, or the ranger for that matter, be certain that so and so is the seer? What if two people say they are the seer. One wolf one seer. We have a 1 in 2 chance of killing the right person. If we loose the seer the first day we are nearly sunk.

the guy who be short · 07-12-2005, 08:26 AM

I was going by the assumption that nobody would voice that in the hope that the wolves wouldn't realise, morm.

However, if two people pretend to be the Seer, it's best not to lynch either. Instead, we deduce who the wolf is. In fact, the wolves should have a hard time pretending to be a Seer - if they lie about somebody's guilt, and that person is lynched, the wolf will be found. As soon as a false Seer starts lying, that's game over for them.

EDIT: Plan suspended. *wistful look*

I have a plan. By using a rather scientific method (a co-worker choosing a number 1 to 12) and matching that number on the list provided above I vote we go for somebody at random today. He choose number 10, which would corespond to Oromin. It is of course a shot in the dark and this way seems as easy as any.

the guy who be short · 07-12-2005, 09:06 AM

The fatal flaw with your plan being that you could be a wolf, of course.

Well, I would like to hear from the following:
Holbytlass
Lhunardawen

My wonderful abacus tells me they are the wolves, along with you mormy.

In any case, this whole day is a shot in the dark, so unless one of us says something idiotic, it will have to be a more or less random exercise.

Morm: What would you have done if this co-worker had said "8" (you)? Just wondering.

Now for my query: mormegil, this might be totally irrelevant, but is there more to that Oromin example of yours in post #12 than meets the eye?

Nope it was completely a random pick. My thought was that since we are more likely to get a innocent villager on the first day and compounding the problem is influence by the wolves why not make it totally random. Also it allowed to get some responses and gauge reaction. Just because I mentioned this shortly after TGWBS responded to it did not mean that I had stopped gauging reaction. Why I believed at the time that TGWBS is innocent is because he wanted to take a more methodical approach to finding somebody to kill...possibly increasin our odds of getting a wolf. Of course, that didn't work and we killed poor Eomer...why I don't know he seemed very innocent to me. Anywho there was the possibility that TGWBS was defending Oromin because they are a wolf pack. It wouldn't be likely that TGWBS would make such an obvious blunder...again why I believed him innocent. Of course, I continue to believe that both LMP and TGWBS are innocent.

I've listed before but I will group people in three groups. Group 1 are the most suspicious. 2 not as suspicious but I don't believe them innocents yet. Group 3 people I know to be innocent.

Group 1
Gil-Galad
Saurreg
Holbytlass

Group 2
Nilp
Lhuna
Oromin

Group 3
Firefoot
Mormegil
TGWBS
LMP

I feel fairly confident in my vote today for

++Gil-Galad

I would ask that seer 1 dream of Saurreg and seer 2 dream of Holbytlass. Again it's time for bed and I dont' have time to post in the morning so that is why I vote now. If the seers are to dream of somebody else I think the either LMP or TGWBS should list the final decision.

I wasn't, just adding atmosphere myself since that's all that can be done in the beginning.

*sigh* That was a very good plan, TGWBS, sorry it can't be done. Oh no! Not the dreaded abicus!!

EDIT: One thing we can do this first day is to make sure everyone who is originally supposed to be here are with no substitutions or reincarnations!
