Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVII: The Saga Continues to Continue quite Continuously

[Gil-Galad]

Well Morm, i know i'm going to be lynched because there is nothing that i can do to live past day 2, so i might as well have fun while i'm at it, lynch me if you must, it'll give the wolves another chance of surviving

[Naria]

Oh no! Our dear Knight is dead!*tear rolling down her cheek*

What's that? You fellas think you saw who did this.....oh, umm ha, ok. Now that's four different stories. I knew I shouldn't listen to sandcrabs. Maybe the dolphins have something better to offer.


The first day is rather random and I will make a post and a vote tomorrow. I can't put too much down right now because my computer is getting fixed and I have limited time on this one. I'll get on a pc somwhere, sometime tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get mine back then as well.

Now, look here. We're a long way from Osgiliath and I for one prefer to trust to our own wits than to some arcane Numenorean legal code. When I was young, we didn't have these sneering legalists coming in and telling us how to run our village. Had to fend for ourselves. And I say that unless you've got a company of Dunedain summoned to assist us, your notions about a Gondorian court are going to do very little good.

That doesn't mean I'm against our getting organized, though. I'd just like to see it done more fair-like. Now these Gaurhoth were clever, it seems to me; I've looked long at the place where Meneltarmacil was slain and I've found not a thing as points the finger at anyone in particular, if you follow me. So it seems to me the best thing's to keep our eyes open for anyone acting suspicious-like. And I say we all ought to get together and talk things over - try to figure out what these wolves are likely to do, and how we might spot them.

Rather fatalistic aren't you?

I don't really know what to make of Gil. My guess is silly and confusing but likely innocent. However if confusing behavior continues I may change that notion.

I ask you what need have we of a woman that calls herself a miracle man and yet merely robs the corpses of the little gold available? Seems a bit unscrupulous to me if not outright malevolent. Malka, what need do we have of you? In fact there are many around here that serve no discernable purpose. I mean just look at this list.

mormegil- Elven smith
Garin- Truffle hunter with a half a dozen pigs and no social manners
Nilpaurion Felagund- Escaped thrall from Tol-in-Gaurhoth
dancing spawn of ungoliant- Florist
The Saucepan Man- Earnest and learned young man of the law
Aiwendil- Old woodwright
AbercrombieOfRohan- Mysterious lady who lives in the depths of the forest
Shelob- Someone who recently washed ashore
malkatoj- Retired Miracle Man (who is not really a man)
Gil-Galad- Shape-Analyst
Glirdan- Crazy guy down the street
Márcolië Lamen- Second official 8th day adventist Pastafarian
Formendacil- Village historian
Cailín- Deluded girl who believes she is a mermaid
Kath- Local investigator into the paranormal
the guy who be short- Mermaid-catcher and fisherman
WaynetheGoblin- Town geek, wimp, and nerd
Naria- Crazy old lady that thinks the marine life talks to her
Valier- Overly giggly coconut milker who only milks the coconuts while standing on her head


No wonder so many of you mortals are pathetic servants to Sauron, does he show you how to bath properly as well? It's quite probably that the majority of wolves are in the group that holds those with no real profession and don't contribute much to the welfare of our village. If we loose a couple of innocents at least we'll still have useful people around.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Okay, I have a confession to make.

Rather, I would like to elucidate the inner workings of the other side of the person you know as Nilpaurion Felagund.

Despite the rule prohibiting the posting of PM conversations, my conscience implores to be allowed to make this violation for all our sakes.

O my fellow villagers, read and judge for yourself!

So, who do we kill toNight?

Wait, I'm still thinking.

Originally Sent by Nilpaurion Felagund

So, we three are the Werewolves, huh?

Originally Sent by Bethiril

Why, yes, we are.

Originally Sent by Nilpaurion Felagund

Figures . . .

Originally Sent by Narvi, son of Gimli

Hmm... I say we kill the Moderator. He's too powerful.

Originally Sent by Bethiril

Nu-uh. I want Meneltarmacil out first. It's personal.

Originally Sent by Nilpaurion Felagund

Why? What did he do to you?

Originally Sent by Bethiril

Why, nothing. I just thought I needed a pretty cool reason.

Originally sent by Narvi, son of Gimli

No, I say we kill the mod first.

++Moderator

There!

Originally sent by Bethiril

No, no, no. I say we kill Menel!

++Meneltarmacil

Originally sent by Nilpaurion Felagund

Wait, isn't Menel the mod?

Originally sent by Narvi, son of Gimli

Hmm... It appears so...

Originally Sent by Bethiril

It's hardly the same! No, wait, you're right.

Originally Sent by Nilpaurion Felagund

So, our victim for toNIGHT is Meneltarmacil the Moderator, right?

Originally Sent by Narvi, son of Gimli

Yes.

Originally Sent by Bethiril

Yes.

Originally Sent by Nilpaurion Felagund

Let's get to work.

After having read all that, you now know of my dark and terrible alter-ego. (Not you, Adam, although you are dark and terrible yourself. )

Garn! I'd kill you dead now if I had my own body.

Anyway . . . My fair village, give me the chance to sacrifice myself for the safety of all.

In the end, I choose to vote for myself:

++Nilpaurion Felagund

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

(I'll place this in a different post. Don't want to break the acrosti . . . oops, hehe. Sorry. )

As usual, illogical DAY 1 me. I won't be back 'til Monday, enedwaith (if you let me live that long, that is), so this is all you'll get for me. Tata!

Don't lynch fair dancing spawn yet!

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

... in a rather gruesome way. Here's a little summary what has happened thus far. I didn't make a difference whether people are joking or making random or real accusations, because you can't never know about the wolves...

Gil-Galad: Calls forth the gifteds to save the village, uses almost a whole post to defend himself when nothing has been said, believes in SpM, acts pessimistic, wants to have fun before he's killed.

"All of us want to return home so lets clean this mess and take a little vacation." ~Gil

Umm, I live here... Where do you live? With Sauron?

TGWBS: Suspects everybody bit himself, especially Kath

Cailín: Says werewolves are horrible, is confused by Gil, finds TGWBS' obsession unnerving

Valier: Has a headache

Formendacil: Suspects Garin, spawn, Aiwendil, Gil, Marcolie, TGWBS, Cailín, Kath and Wayne. Votes for Valier because believes her to be Queen Beruthiel

Glirdan: Needs to get his medication

Kath: Is interested in science, says Day 1 is random, doesn't trust SpM's word, doubts that reasons behind accusations are helpful this early

SpM: Doesn't want to lynch people unless their guilt is "established - beyond all reasonable doubt". Places himself above suspicion, laments bloodthirstiness, appreciates Gil's support, demands Wayne to explain himself, comments Abercrombies random accusing, says he's not the Ranger, wants to see some evidence for accusations

Aiwendil: Says we might be in trouble, doubts the efficiency of law, says wolves are clever, wants to keep an eye on suspicious behaviour, wants to talk

Wayne: Believes in some things Formendacil says, but not the things he said about Wayne. He's suspicious of everybody, especially Kath, morm, Spm and Formendacil. Thinks Form is the Cobbler and votes for him.

Abercrombie: Talks about killing lawyers, says Formendacil's behaviour isn't unusual, randomly accuses Formendacil, Aiwendil and Gil demanding an explanation from them. Says there is no evidence and pulls arguments "out of thin air". Doesn't really suspect Formen and Aiwendil, says Gil's and SpM's guilt might depend on each other.

malkatoj: Accuses Abercrombie, Valier and Naria. Thinks that SpM is the Ranger, Gil's the Cobbler, Aiwendil's the Seer and TGWBS is the Hunter. Says it's too early for reasoned arguments, doubts that she'll vote for those she accused to be wolves, suspects Wayne, but says that more likely he's just being himself.

mormegil: Doesn't follow the same laws as SpM, but promises to find the wolves. Thinks Gil might be the Cobbler, says we don't need people like malkatoj who don't have a proper profession.

"If we loosea couple of innocents at least we'll still have useful people around." ~morm
This is no Survivor, my good sir! I can't see how the wolves are more useful to this village than innocents.

Naria: Doesn't trust sandcrabs, says Day 1 is random.

Nilp: Says the wolves are Bethril; Narvi, son of Gimli and himself, votes for himself. Doesn't want to get spawn lynched yet.

(Thanks, but what do you mean yet? )


Interesting...
I understand that it's not easy to come up with a good theory this early, but I'd assume that people can say something else, too, than that things are random on the first day or that they have health problems.
I have to go to make a wreath of flowers on Meneltarmacil's grave, but after that I'll come back and try to offer more help for this glum situation.

[Cailín]

So, we already have three votes. One is based on a dancing cat, another is based on some undoubtedly flawless logic that makes no sense to me and the final… oh well… So, Nilp voting for himself definitely indicates… means that… um, let’s be fair, it doesn’t mean anything. Which reminds me, Gil, Wayne, if you wish to live past Day 1, vote for yourself! Look at that Nilpaurion-fiend, it’s the perfect method.

Since this village is full of lunatics – except for me, obviously, you are all just sceptics – and coconut milkers, whatever foul and suspicious thing that may be, I say we should listen to Saucepan Man, because he seems to know what he’s talking about. Then again, he is not really talking about anything, which is quite suspicious in itself.

Aside from those three, Saucepan's seeming awfully pompous, he's probably the ranger. Gil keeps talking and he put all those links up and they're confusing, so cobbler. Aiwendil's acting pretty deep and whatnot, so he's the seer. And of course TGWBS is the hunter.

What are you doing, malkatoj, revealing the Gifted so readily! Oh no, now what are we to do?

It's quite probably that the majority of wolves are in the group that holds those with no real profession and don't contribute much to the welfare of our village.

Pfwah, and who are you Mr. Elven Smith, to judge who is valuable to this village? Can your crafty weapons save us from the wolves? Were you able to protect poor Meneltarmacil? Besides, I’ll have you know I contribute much to the welfare of this village. I keep TGWBS busy and and and… I can swim. A little. Sometimes. Then again, considering all laws of logic, it is quite likely most wolves are in the group of people without a real profession, simply because that group is clearly in the majority.

Anyhow, I doubt we shall be building a strong case against anyone toDay. Maybe we should lynch Wayne. He’s just a wimp anyway. I also mistrust Shelob and Kath. Kath seems a little over-enthusiastic about the whole thing – if she wishes to see werewolf activity, let her go to Mordor and leave us be - and Shelob… well, just a case of Day 1 xenophobia I suppose.

Finally, are these Bethiril and Narvi perhaps codenames? Should we jumble them, rearrange them and propose some wacked theory concerning their real identities?

I shall be back shortly, with hopefully more sensible things to say. Like Dancing Spawn just did (or at least, tis a brave attempt).

[Glirdan]

Well, I have returned from getting my medication and I must say that I feel much better today. I have already just briefly scanned the posts and I must say, something strange from our dear lawyer jumped out at me:

Now, this court is in session. Let him or her speak who has evidence upon which to base an accusation.

Sounds to me as if he's trying to bring out the Seer to tell us who he/she knows is innocent or a Wolf. This is making me slightly suspicious for the moment. I will return after a brief analysis of everything that's happened throughout the Day.

[Glirdan]

Well, after analysing everyone who's posted, I've now gotten more suspicions.

Firstly, Formendacil's vote is rather early. Very early infact. However, I still believe that he's innocent and since our esteemed lawyer will wish to ask me my reasoning behind this, and all other things I come up with, I will give it now. I believe that Form is just being as random as pretty much everyone else is. There is no suspicion in Form that I can ee of as of yet. As to this comment from our historian:

Glirdan: Is secretly a Hobbit. Don't let on, though.

I'm not a Hobbit. Sure I might have very curly feet and hair not to mention am only four feet tall. But that does not mean that I am a Hobbt. I'm just a very short Elf. ( )

Second. Gil is being rather confusing with all his talk of being innocent and afraid that we will lynch him. Now, I'm inclined to agree with at least this part of SpM's logic, "Innocent until proven guilty." So, in other words Gil, until you give us reason for your guilt, you're innocent. However, talking repeatedly about us lynching you will make you seem even more suspicious.

Third. Wayne's vote for Form is rather odd and has, as has been said, no logic in it what-so-ever. Definetly seems suspicious, but, is it really a cause of worry? Do we absolutely need to be afraid of him? I believe not. At least not until something drastic happens.

Fourth. Something about SpM is not sitting right with me. It might be because he's trying to find away to get me off the island. Or it might be something else. Maybe it's the quote that I put in my previous post.

Fifth. Morm's wish to be rid of all the lunatics, even though they be innocent, is rather unnerving. More innocents is better than more dead innocents and three Wolves still left. I will definetly watch you more carefully.

Lastly. I have no idea what to think of Nilp's craziness. It's probably just a ploy and he's really innocent. But something about that post doesn't sit well with me.

That's all that I've come up with. There are still those among us who have not said anything or barely anything. It's making me rather nervous. I think I need to go get my medication again. I'm shaking a lot right now.
