The Prophet lynched! Deliver us, oh ModErutor God!
My deepest condolences, fair dancing spawn. I pray that you do not succumb to your sorrow and go suicidal as his ancestors once did; instead gather your strength and courage. We shall avenge his death. Now before anything else I want to make my occupation of Dark Elf (literally) clear. Think me not a spawn of Morgoth...that's just my skin color! Honest! With that aside...If I may suggest, please try your darndest not to spread your votes too much. Day Ones, though worthy of ![]() And let us be very careful with the law of the double lynching. Hmm...I think we should look at one such daga'y in our village. He could have been too enamored of our dear Prophet until it came to a point that he wanted to be Nilp himself and so killed him. ![]() Last edited by Lhunardawen; 03-15-2006 at 03:30 AM.

A grievous morning indeed. I have taken the stricken tgwbs to my cottage and given him comfrey tea for the shock. I hope he will find the strength to join us soon.
I too have a suggestion. Ened-in-Nowhere is a big village, the most numerous, I believe, to be found anywhere in Hildorien. Some of us like to speak, others do not. I would urge, especially in these early stages when so many of us are still here - that the quiet speak out at least a little, but that the naturally eloquent temper their urges to speak at great length. Those of us who are innocent and truly wish to comb the evidence for clues, may find screeds and screeds of posts overwhelming. And the quietly guilty may easily hide amidst general loudmouth clamour.

Werewolves in our town? And four of them, no less? A secret love? Nilpaurion dead and Dancing Spawn in disarray? Oh, how perfectly delightful! I mean - horrible of course, absolutely dreadful. Yes, yes, too bad everyone already knows, huh?
Though I might have some other interesting titbits to share. For example, I'm not entirely sure whether Spawn is not simply faking her grief. She always lets her window open at night, silly girl, maybe hoping something furry will sneak in? And how about dear Lalaith - the circumstances of her husband's death were vague, we all know this. And if I'd tell you all I know about Eonwe… and Farael… oh you would shudder, I promise you! Anyway - Lalaith and Lhuna both make good points. Though seriously, you cannot truly expect one such as myself to be quiet after such a wondrous, terrible tragedy? |

A grievous event for our village. Our dear prophet is dead. May his spirit get rest.
And Lalaith you say we shouldn't babble. That might be true, though I'm not sure if I agree with you. It's true that evidence is more difficult to find from a post flood, but we should keep in mind that loudmouth wolves more probably slip something than non-loudmouths. Anyway, your request is reasonable because if everybody posts as much as I did in my previous ww, no one can manage reading even through one day. So I'd like to change Lalaith's advice a bit: speak enough that you can slip (especially wolves) but don't speak too much to flood the village with your babbling.

Woe is me! Poor Nilpaurion. My heart cries blood, I have no reason to carry on my life. I think I'll go drowning myself in my washtub...
Or maybe I'll just try my best to find the horrible beasts. Yes, that sounds better. That said, Lhunardawen and Cailín, you may wash the vomit off your clothes by yourselves. Now (I quote myself): "Let's get these Werewolves, then." Quote:

Well, it is basically thus:
There are now five (and perhaps seven, but we cannot be sure) people who know more than the rest of us. They each have a hidden agenda: the wolves will wish to see as many innocents lynched as possible, while the Lovers are more pre-occupied with protecting each other. Their accusations may be random, but their voting will not be. With a traitor in their midst, the wolves will be more on guard as usual. I think they may fear to cast wolf on wolf votes in case one of them is immediately suspected as being the treacherous one. However, they may have agreed on a different strategy that we are unaware of. Whatever the scenario, I think we cannot count on the assistance of WereRomeo / WereJulia. Chances are the wolves will figure out the identity of the Lovers far before we do - so I suppose we should be focusing on finding the wolves instead. I feel like I'm rambling a little, but I am just trying to get my thoughts on screen. Call me pessimistic, but it is probable an innocent will die today. Let's in any case avoid making it two! On a lighter note, did you know Thinlomien has been seeing Celuien lately? Hmm, I wonder what that's all about. Also, some little bird told me Valier doesn't merely shear sheep, if you get my meaning. And though Formendacil and Glirdan seem innocently unemployed, I do seriously wonder how they got such comfortable living arrangements anyway, huh? |

Poor Nilp. We were just beginning to make progress on his strange psychiatric condition. Sadly, it appears that he remained suicidal, or at least the personality known as Adam did. A tragedy.
Quote:
Speaking of the Lovers, I agree that the Wolves will probably spot them first. Or at least the Wolf of the pair. So if anyone comes out strongly against one of our villagers, it could be a wolf turning against a suspected traitor. Just something to consider. And I'll be on the lookout for pairs. My office will remain open late for anyone wishing to discuss paranoia, depression or other difficulties related to our current situation. However, I'll have to go back to my office for a few hours before rejoining the village discussion.

Graagh! Ha, raagh! The time is upon us! I come from the woods to sing to you, o despised bluebells.
Many have spoken of Wolfen. But I do not fear the Wolfen-ones, any more than I shudder before the darts of their insidiously irritating allies, the Cavalry of the Nation of Hedgehogs. Them shall I slay with my wood-axe and my abstruse cunning. Ha ha! Nay, that which I fear is Love. Yea, yea, hearken unto me, tis Love which does destroy us! We must purge this place of all Love! I detest you all! Ye of lesser mind, who have mocked at my utterances! Ah, that feels so much better. Now I shall go off for a while, and I shall return with a sack of slain Hedgehog Warriors to prove my prowess.

Or perhaps my love is entirely casual...
![]() Yes, I can get away with that sort of thing and remain righteous and proper: for I have the King's favour. One law for the rich and all that — my dear SamwiseGamgee will understand this well. Of course we should not lynch such an integral part of the community as our good bank manager. Neither should we lynch Lhunardawen — yet, though probability theory dictates unpleasant news for that pretty little elf. ![]() And keep harping on about how Day One doesn't tell us anything: for though you be wrong it may lead to interesting responses from the village as a whole. Doesn't tell us anything, HA! Simpletons! Thou wouldst never echo the music of Maglor to a grand audience. I will immediately propose that we do not lynch me as I am linked to the monarchy; and everyone knows that royal sorts are more trustworthy than normal folks. I'm also innocent.

This is a sad day. More so for Spawn then for the rest of us. May Nilp rest in peace.
![]() Quote:
I agree with everyone by saying that this is going to be a mostly random day and that we should be very careful of the double lynching law. The Wolves could use that to their advantage. And this is also a most peculiar village. In all the other villages that I've heard about that have been attacked by Wolve there were only three Wolves and one Seer. Now there's two Seer's (a bonus for us) and four Wolves. Four Wolves!! This is going to be difficult to say the least... Quote:
Now please excuse me while I go and wollow in pity for spawn, Nilp and myself.

I'm a stone cutter. I do not waste time. Stone being hard and difficult to master. Therefore I will not waste time taking my analytical tools to this metaphorical stone of 4 werewolves, with the mix of 2 lovers. On to business.
First, on posting. Louds should post as much as usual, and Quiets should post at least, at least once per day. Posts should be substantive. Simple as that. Quote:

Woe is me! Nilp gone? who shall now give me luck as I shear my sheep? I for one shall look at the "creepy's" today. Who else would want to murder our prophet?
The guy who be short I see you have lost your beard I shall go and knit you one! I promise it shall be as sweet as me! Well I must agree with others today, we must concentrate on killing wolves, and not worry too much about the lovers today, since the wolves are more likely to find them out first. I implore you all wolves! Give yourselves up now, while you still have a chance. I may be small and sweet, but I promise you I hold a grudge for the death of our Mod-Prophet! I am off to clear my head! I shall make beards for everyone! They shall be lovely, and warm! *smiles sweetly* Tah for now! Oh just thinking to myself who would have the time on their hands to kill our Nilp? THE UNEMPLOYED that's who!

Wow, you would not believe the dream I had last night. I always have strange nights when I don't shave my overgrown hair. I'd love to tell my dream to you, too, but see really, 'I have not the heart to tell you'.

The wolves certainly made short work of out beloved Nilp. He looks worse than the time I had a mishap whilst lancing that unflattering boil of his.
Allow me to fashion his hair for the funeral though... I owe him an amends. Quote:

Once again the debate between quiet versus the loud rears its head. I have always been on the side of the loud and the voters for obvious reasons. Sometimes I also must be less of a participant, so I understand the occassional mute. Luckily, the chronically silent shall be permanently silenced by the spirit of Nilp after three days. Nonethess, voting records and dialogue are the best way to uncover the true identities of our fellow 'villagers,' I encourage all of you to participate TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY> However, with a caveat. Wolves are often invigorated by their lupine standing and tend to be bit more involved than bored Ordos. Luckily, I know many of you from other villages, this will help me uncover members of the hairy horde. Much more reading and analysis to do... I'll probably vote later than others, always a bold endeavor. Can't get used to 'Limey Time.' No offense.

Right. My lords and mermaid-like sprigs of juniper, I bear solemn news from the East, in the depths of the forests.
Though I found none of the Wolf-kindred as yet, nor any pernicious sorts infected by the grim vice of Love, I did stumble upon the Chieftain of the Hedgehog Race, and after a protacted battle I had the better of him. "Tell me," I growled, "where lurk your demonic were-hedgehog cavalry!" The Hedgehog Lord was no craven, but my instruments of torture were ingenious and convoluted and at last he told all. The varmint claims to have disguised a were-army of hedgehogs under green shells and hidden them in a turtle farm. What d'ye have to say to that, Empress Kath of the Dread Meerkat Wandering Horde? Ha ha! I've noticed that there are several types in this place who seem to be completely out of their minds. You're going to have to trust in a dour, sensible sober man of arms like me. And I say, enemies oft lurk among clerihews. Ha ha! For one, I don't like the stamp of that musician fella. The King must have kept him as a joke! His harping is terrible! I say we tie him up in a tree when we banquet in the evenings, sa-ha! But seriously. The King be dead or fled, I don't know or care which, and this is no time for airs. As for yerrer gallantry...I sense the stench of LOVE! As for the laundress, she makes a very wise point, and is a delightful codfish.

Hello, fellow villagers. Never fear, SamwiseBankee is here!
Firstly, may I extend my condolances to Nilp's family. For generations our bank has been close with their family, and to see them go is not just to lose a customer, it is to lose a friend. Eomer: different rules? Surely I know not of waht you speak! Cough cough! Now, my dinner is ready and I must fly. I have some small suspicions, friends, and I shall share them as soon as I have enjoyed my fine meal.

Well, I'm back.
So, what is your friendly bank manager thinking? Cailin is the only obviously suspicious individual thus far. Well, I don't like it, fellow villagers. I know, there was some kind of excuse about visiting a friend out of the village, but I don't know. I shan't be voting this early- that would just be silly- but I'm uncomfortable with Cailin's behaviour. There was a whole lot of accusations, but not a whole lot of substance to any of them. And yet, I can't help but think that no wolf would be so stupid on day one. Any thoughts?

Day 1s, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways....
But, of course, that would detract from the ever so lovely Day 1 noise that I ought to be making... Noise that, in due time, can be analysed by the finest (read: most paranoid) minds in the village to include cunning statements of gleeful guilt, which will then result in my becoming suspicious and/or dead. Well, let's get to it. I've not got all Day. Quote:
Nilp and Lhuna are so tenderhearted to family members that I've never needed to work a day in my life. Which, by the way, clearly proves that I'm not a Werewolf, since that's half my life support gone. (Formendacil will return in a few hours with more Day 1 nonsense. Stay tuned....)

![]() *sigh* Poor poor Nilp. He was a crazy fellow and now that he is gone whom will I vote for, on this, our first day?! I best be look'n a little closer at the rest of you...hmmm or not, Gurthang looks like he got this whole thing wrapped up. He's already found six people he finds guilty and four of which to be hairy ones. Wow that is quite impressive, not! This shant be a very long game after all, according to Gurthang findings. ![]() But I digress, and will myself, look a little deeper and see what I can see before vote time. |

Well, well, again, we are faced with the problem of werewolves. Four werewolves, no less. And to make matters worse, we have a traitor, though it should be said, our disadvatage is offset by the fact they have a traitor too. Indeed, one who has a much greater potential for runiation!
The lovers offer some great analytical challanges, if you are up to it, and have a spare afternoon... ![]() ![]() Predictably, I suffer greatly from a severe case of First Day Suspicion/Dispare Syndrom. I am given to bouts of cynicism, skeptisism, and hopelessness. (Hardly the fealings of one deeply in love, I might add. ![]() Anyhow, I think I will go with (by now) the tried and proven voting method, that of voting for the tenth person below me...who appears to be...ooo, lets make that above...who appears to be Garin! Indeed, my fellow skeptics and pesimists, indeed, I am proposing a random vote. "So your idea is everyone vote without thinking and without reasoning! How idiotic!" you say. Well, I would ask you, what are you baseing you vote on, hm? Anyhow, obviously I haven't cast my vote, which mean if nothing else turns up, that is how I will vote. And, or course, I wouldn't be holding with this practice the entire game, hopefully starting tommarrow as evidence becomes more and more availible. That would indeed be idiotic.

I see that Valier and TGWBS have been accused of having a little secret. I find it unlikely. Open hints, while possibly protecting them from the village (thinking we would find it too obvious a bluff and excuse them) would be a dead giveway to the wolf/lover's wolvish 'allies.' And the wolves would have no hesitation about ridding themselves of their betrayer by killing the ordo/sweetie by night. A possible bold bluff by a wolf-wolf pair, yes. But not a declaration by the real couple. I'm inclined to think them innocent, since such a strategy would be a very bold move for day 1 wolves, but will be closely watching both. Eomer has also been acting a bit off, though not in a psychiatric way. Quote:
