WWJ III - Nan Qualinmerë: Death Wish Valley

[Roa_Aoife]

The only hint sounding vaguely like the cursed was in fact Garin, when he siad that the wolves would do well to kill him.

[Anguirel]

Indeed, but that's neither here nor there. The cursed villager should not know he is cursed. Unless our esteemed moderator made a slight slip, in which case it would certainly explain much of Garin's inflated sense of his own importance...

EDIT: Here's the exact quotation. Cursed - Has the blood of Wolf in him/her yet doesn't know it.

Garin, if you have been told you're the Cursed Villager, best to own up, I suppose. Not that we'll know whether to believe you, but it'll help confirm if any mistake has been made.

[Garin]

Garin, if you have been told you're the Cursed Villager, best to own up, I suppose.

No, our mod did not inform me that I was cursed, as the rules state. As for my importance, I can only say that the village will be down 2 gifteds and 2 ordos by the end of the day. The wolves are desperate being one down but stand a better chance if the village doesn't listen to reason and continues to act foolishly.

[Roa_Aoife]

You've given very little reason in your defense, Garin. Angrily lashing out, while understandable, won't help your case. At least Shelob made meaningful posts before she died. You've contributed nothing but vague suspicion.

However, I will not be party to a bandwagon again.

This will be my last post of the day, unless voting continues till 10:30 EST. ((The other thread has me confused.))

[Garin]

I switched my vote from Kath because although she seems to have it out for me, she seemed convinced of Shelob's innocence near the end and almost upset that we were lynching her. I have given Kath the benefit of the doubt for now, however if/when I am lynched I propose you examine her in depth.

[Garin]

At least Shelob made meaningful posts before she died.

And they were so successful.

[Valesse]

It is reason that has made us suspect you, Garin... who defends himself by asking "Well what about..."! Your stratagy is one discernable and fractured. What fills those rifts? Insults?

People do not like to be called fools or many of the other names you have released upon us in backlash. Its hurtful, much less rude. All of the villagers voting for you have a reason, be it their own or through arguement, and I know that has to be hard on your bravado to not be able to waylay this end... but do not pull us down in our esteem with you. The rest of the villagers have been careful to mind other's feelings even under the assumption of wolvery... and even then so if the case be made of name calling. If I had not a reason to vote for you already, it would be purely to rid of your unkindness to other's feelings.

I hope your next game and many to come benefit from what I and others have said. Consider yourself admonished.

[Garin]

Valesse, thanks for the advice. But i stand by my outbursts. Shelob was idiotic in her suicide, and the village is foolish for being swayed by the wolf who somewhere stands in a vote against me.

[Kath]

Are we still going? I thought everything would have finished by now. Anyway, whatever the case I will stick with my vote for Garin. Right now even if he isn't a wolf at least we get rid of someone who seems to be being deliberately unhelpful.

Now, someone suggested a double lynch and right now I would suggest that we don't do that. At the moment we (most of us) seem very certain of Garin's guilt, and are treating him as though he has already been lynched and found guilty. However, this is not yet the case, and until we know for certain one way or the other I don't think we should bring anyone else into it, especially since a lot of the suspicion against Wayne and Gandalf (the candidates for the double) has been gleaned from Garin's posts.

However, whether Garin is guilty or not a double lynch of Wayne and Gandalf might be an idea tomorrow, to ensure all those left are people that we can get information from as the actually post! Also, whoever saw that Wayne and Gandalf seem to vote antagonistically had a good point, and with one newbie and one Wayne that could indeed point to wolvishness.

[Garin]

we get rid of someone who seems to be being deliberately unhelpful.

Please explain, I am trying to help the village.

[Valesse]

That doesn't sound very optimistic, Roa.

I believe that was (in game) yesterDAY, am I correct? And they attacked Fea instead...

It occured to me that we've been assuming that tar has had... well... a few too many dreams. I've heard of Eomer, Shelob, Feanor (which is the only one we know for sure), and Wayne. Though she basically gave it to us that she did not dream of Garin:

But rather than put the spotlight on ME for not voting, I decided it would be better to shine a little light on someone who's not sitting right with me.

Please, everyone. Just because tar voted for someone or said something of them does not equivicate a dream. Mind I do not say this in my own defense as it seems no one but Ang has been verbally suspicious of me if my memory serves me right but rightly so.

We don't have much time left, and after all of toDAY I don't believe Garin will make much of a move to exonorate himself. At least what he has done so far just seems to have gotten him in deeper and deeper trouble and distrust. So let us spend it wisely, hmm? Perhaps instead of posting we go back and read?

Thank you, Ang. I should have looked it up myself, but these hours aren't good for a late night show girl.

I don't see why you think we know for sure she dreamt of Fea, or why you think her comment rules out Garin.

I stick to the thesis that she dreamt-

Eomer, (Night 1) Shelob, (Night 2) Garin, (interrupted Night 3)

And I never suspected you particularly, Valesse. Of the Eonwe voters I ended up suspecting and momentarily voting for Kath...

[Valesse]

I don't know if I should feel a glow to that, Ang, as it seems those without village suspicion seem to be more often dismembered.

I was under the assumption that was who she was dreaming of the night of her death. I don't claim to know exactly how some of the gifted gifts work.

I, fortunately, do. Only Huntership and Cursedness are outside my ken of personal experience.

Many years ago-in the first recorded attack by werewolves on a village-my great-great-great-many-greats uncle, Sir Anguirel the Dastard, was, to our family's never-expiated shame, exposed as a wolf.

In a desperate attempt to atone for his uncle's crime, the Dastard's nephew, my great-great-many-greats-grand-father, swore upon his sword to protect the villagers of the land. He was slain fighting wolves soon afterwards disguised as a local blacksmith.

Our family's moment of glory came when the son of a junior line, Master Anguirel the Just, an itinerant justice, saved the fourth village to fall victim to a wolvish invasion, though he sacrificed his life for the cause. To this day the Anguirelli pray for his soul at our private chapel.

Much later, an illegitimate son of Lord Anguirel X, Anguirel "Wolfcloak", who had become a notoriously scurrilous bandit, fought 'gainst wolves at Tinseltown and though his efforts were vain, we still honour him as the bravest of our clan.

At Erbar Telemarth itself Sir Anguirel the Fair was foully lynched by the votes of wolves, but before he died he left his sword to a Hunter who quickly avenged his death with the enchanted blade. (The sword hangs on my mantelpiece to this day.)

At Shamville, a cousin of the hero Wolfcloak, a lowly jester, witnessed the horrors of that place of torture and helped drag it to its ruin, for though a villager he was as foolish as his profession suggests.

Rumour even has it that one member of our family, a bard, long ago infiltrated Tol-in-Gaurhoth itself, and brought back a strange story of wolves fighting among themselves.

I am the last of my line. And I do not intend to quail or surrender, young though I may be.

(ahem)

Enough of family history. The narration means nothing. tar need not necessarily have dreamed of Fea.

And as for your night-time safety, lady Valesse-you're a wolf. Feel better?

[Valesse]

Much better. Thank you.
You have a very noble family... lets hope associating with a carnie like myself doesn't affect your honor negatively.

Also, whoever saw that Wayne and Gandalf seem to vote antagonistically had a good point, and with one newbie and one Wayne that could indeed point to wolvishness.

It is a quiet tactic... and since neither are here to post often we can't question why they feel the other is a wolf. Its hard to catch them when the length of their time with us is so brief.

Whoever sees them post next ought to make a point to bring this up... even if it is tomorrow (in game). (I'll try to wake up early enough the next couple of days. I feel as if I am coming down with something, however, but that also means that I will not be going to school.)

=Edit= Also: My vote remains as it was yesterday and early this morning.

Nonsense. I am sworn to help and succour all damoiselles and maidens.

Trust me, I enjoy it...
