WWJ III - Nan Qualinmerë: Death Wish Valley

[Shelob]

Umm, Ang, could you lay off the "shiningly gorgeous"s and "oh wondrous passing fair maiden"s. At least in regards to me...quite frankly they make me more nervous than someone wearing a sign that says "Werewolf and proud of it"

Speaking of signs:

Tolkien would be disappointed, he always clearly defined his good and evil.

I'm pretty sure he'd be disappointed by this whole thing then, since for "good and evil" to be "clearly defined" the wolves would have to either tell us they're evil or be wearing the previously mentioned signes...somehow I don't forsee this happing, this side of reality anyway.

I think that in your position it's best that you continue talking so that I can more clearly fix my thoughts on you.

Perhaps, but I wanted to give a chance for other people to to be noticed, and to speak, I'm back now so fix your thoughts away.

That whole last post by Shelob was weird so to speak. Why would you say that you understand why people would vote for you? you are pretty much shouting wolf to me by saying go ahead kill me now, then in the same sentence saying don't look at me,look at everyone else. Getting a little edgy?

Not edgy, irked. But as to why do I understand if people vote for (and even, perchance, end up lynching me), quite simply because I am in a very suspicious looking position, people look for (and vote for) people who look suspicious. If I didn't understand that I'd have a real issue now wouldn't I.

As for "saying go ahead and kill me now", I'm pretty sure I didn't say that. Perhaps you read it as that but I said I understand if you all end up killing me. To that "shouting wolf", perhaps we're playing with different wolves? The last time I checked the ones we're after were trying not to shout their presence to the world.


By my reconing there's ~5.5 hrs until this Day ends, correct? Since I can be on pretty consistantly until then I'll keep checking in fairly regularly.

[Shelob]

That was wonderful by the way but I can do you one better.

One better? I wasn't Trying to do anything except keep the lot of you from foolishly giving the wolves perfect cover! I never said "Don't lynch me", in fact I said 'Go ahead and lynch me if you think you can gain by it". What right have I to even suggest people don't lynch me? We're in a village with Werewolves, if enough people think I'm suspicious then by all means lynch me. It's better to lynch a suspicious looking innocent and learn your mistake than keep them around and never be sure if they're waiting to Claw you in the back.

Dearest Shelob
And they call me defensive? I was just having a bit of fun.
Actually, I remember a past life in which I was just as defensive. In fact, I might have even been a werewolf. In a previous existence, of course. In a land far away.

[Shelob]

Bloody Jokers! Be done with me then, eh?

++Shelob

and laugh yourselves to death.

[Garin]

Shelob, if you are truly innocent you are doing our village a disservice by offering yourself to the noose.
If you be a bluffing werewolf, I say good riddance.

[Valier]

I may have seemed to have a past life as well Garin, that my instincts told me to vote for the defensive one, and they were in fact a wolf. I might employ the same tactics now, as then and catch us a wolf. Then again an innocent will still feel the need to defend themselves as feverishly as a wolf would.

So saying that my vote is leaning towards Shelob, But I'm not concrete on it yet.....Time will tell I guess.

[Shelob]

you are doing our village a disservice by offering yourself to the noose.

No kidding, though perhaps you'll grant me to today hasn't been the greatest of days? And I have math work, if you're looking for bad combinations of factors "not being trusted" + "Statistics project" + "Calculus Project" + "can't tell when people are joking unless I can hear/see them" is high on the list.

I'm leaving my vote where it is for now though, as I see I'm doing a disservice by dying now, but if I survive longer and still aren't trusted I'll do a greater disservice later. If something comes up that warrents me changing it I shall.

[Garin]

This 'statistics' you speak of, I believe that it has once led me to the edge of a cliff.
Strange tongues speaking of Chi and Anova, maybe death is better.

[Kath]

Well arguing like this isn't going to get us far! Shelob, if you are an innocent I would suggest you change your vote.

Voting so far:
Shelob - Shelob
Wayne - Gandalf
Kath - Wayne
Anguirel - Roa
Mith - Fea
Garin - Shelob
Gandalf - Wayne

So the two looking at being lynched today are Shelob (unless she changes her vote) and Wayne. Do we really want another double lynching? If both are innocents our numbers are going to decrease pretty rapidly.
