I almost want to wait longer; Cailin said she might be late, but I don't want to take the chance.
++Holbytlass We need to break this tie, and Holby is the only one who I suspect that is among the those who are tied. May you be a wolf.

Hmm, I really don’t think that Durelin or Morm is guilty. I have played with both of them before and their actions in this game have been consistant as far as I can tell. I have never played with Holby before so I am not sure how she would act, but I am not really suspicious of her either. Since I have not had time to go over all of the posts today, I am basing my vote off of impressions that I had of people on Day 2.
++Rune For reasoning behind this vote please look at post #166. This is the best I can do for now. |

Foolish, Holbytlass! You would have survived this day - morm got more votes first.
But it is done. Thank you none the less. |

Just for the record, I am in favour of a novus republic, headed by the three innocent lasses. Best get that in the open right now.
One could still be a lover, but the other two will outnumber her. It is a risk I am willing to take. And, frankly, I don't care what the rest of you think. I know it's a good idea. ![]() |

Day 3 Events
The shock of losing two allies instead of one the previous Night weighed heavily on the ship.
"Everything must justify its existence before the judgment seat of Reason, or give up existence”, stated Friedrich Engels. "*hic*," said Glirdan, puzzled. "It is my brilliant theory of the Day." Engels drew himself up proudly. "Who are you, anyway?" inquired Gurthang. "Don't think I noticed you aboard before." "Reason?" asked Lalaith in a huff. "Empiricism is the only true way, my friends." "Huh?" said Rune. "I am feeling pretty suicidal…" commented Weslamond. "Aye, but I fear Sir Horatio should leave the ship first." "You are all wrong," said Mormegil. "I know exactly who the wolves are and you'd best listen to me or else everything will be wrong, wrong, wrong." "Well?" asked Durelin. "It is Firefoot, obviously," said Mormegil. "Ha!" said Firefoot. "My dog thinks you, sir, are actually a pirate." "Portugal - Holland was the worst match ever!" stated Sir Horatio suddenly. All passengers looked up in surprise and started eyeing Sir Horatio suspiciously. "Wha…?" asked Kath. "Apologies," stumbled Sir Horatio. "No idea what made me say that. The lengthy exposure to the sun and wind must have made me slightly delusional." "You see!" said Taliesin triumphantly. "Never trust a rear-admiral with a roaring voice and a silly name." "Wrong again," said Mormegil. "Sir Horatio Potboiler is no wolf, oh no. Though I may be wrong." In the end, the passengers decided that they could not bear hearing Mormegil correct them one more time and decided that such insistent pessimism could only stem from a decidedly wolvish nature. With collective effort, to the obvious satisfaction of Friedrich Engels, the passengers hoisted the man up the plank. "There is obviously a fault in the construction of this ship," continued Mormegil his nit-picking as he stood there. "You see, this plank is completely rotten. If I'd put my foot here, like this…" He demonstrated, shifting all his weight to his left foot. With a reluctant squeak, the plank cracked and Mormegil lost his balance and tumbled into the ocean. "You see," he said, struggling to keep his head above the water. "It will break." "Oh, be silent already," said Caranlondien, quite annoyed. "Just wait," yelled Mormegil to the passengers still observing him from the deck. And it happened. With a final snap, the plank broke straight through the middle. Half of the now ex-plank came falling down and hit the troubled Mormegil right on the head. He died instantly, but with a smug smile gracing his face. A human face. Mormegil had been another Ordinary Passenger. -- Captain Cailín's Log Cheese? I need cheese!

Night 4 Events
After all her fellow passengers had fallen asleep, Holbytlass walked up to the railing and stared into the invisible waves. She'd not be able to sleep tonight, despite her growing weariness and the fact that it was the darkest night she'd ever seen. It was no night to see anything.
She did hear something. In the vague distance, a lonely cry sounded, melodious and sweet. Could it be a whale? Holbytlass shook her head. She was always imagining things. Though some things were not quite so imagined as others. With a sigh of foreboding, she whispered a name in the dark. Then she waited. The moon rose over a pair less likely to hear a lonely sound. Unaware that someone was still up and watching, they danced to their own, private tune. There was something comforting about knowing that - no matter how the tides would turn - they would always come out as winners. Isn't love said to conquer all? As the footsteps got louder and more confident, Holbytlass woke up from her reverie, forgetting the name she had whispered to the unknown. Slowly, she walked in the direction of the sound, hoping to solve the mystery before the wolves came to settle the score. In the fickle light of the moon, she saw flashes of a pair dancing between the sleeping bodies of the other passengers, careless in their movements, apparently only avoiding a misstep by chance, luck even. She chased them over the ship, her human, worldly steps sharply contrasting with the casual grace of the couple. She thought she heard a boy laughing, or was it a woman? The rhythm increased as the wolf and the lover were now swirling to a distant chorus of violins, almost painful to the ears in its perfection. Holbytlass started to run, forgetting about undercover, desperate to catch them in the act. They seemed to retreat in the now deserted Captain's cabin. Holbytlass followed them, determined. As she entered, she found the cabin empty. Disappointed and tense, she sighed once more. She turned around, shaking, and found herself face to face with the four wolves who had haunted her dreams. "We know you now," snarled the largest. With a vengeful howl, the wolves fell upon Holbytlass, taking the light out of her eyes forever. At dawn, it was Firefoot who found Holbytlass. She was lying spread-eagled on the Captain's bed, her empty sockets staring into the distance. The names on her lips would never be uttered. -- Captain Cailín's Log A Night filled with promise. The Seer is dead. We live. Signed, The Lovers ~The dead ~ Nogrod – sub-mod, ripped into pieces of flesh and bones by the werewolves on Night1 Cailín – mod, forced to walk the plank at the end of Night1/ the beginning of Day1 Nilpaurion Felagund – ranger, lynched himself at the end of Day1 Eomer of the Rohirrim – ordinary passenger, replaced the main topmast during Night2 Lhunardawen - ordinary passenger, overcame her seasickness by force at the end of Day2.

Well, buckoes, same drill as yesterday, really. Death not unexpected, but votes from yesterday extremely interesting. Analyse them, why don't you, and I'll help in the morning when I'm more coherent. Also I need one of those nice Firefoot TM voting order bulletins to really set to work.
We have a lot of information to work with. In my view, morm's lynching was idiocy. But...later. Hope to return to see lots of clear reasoning and theories to bounce off.

Holby, thanks for the helpful info, I'm sorry to see you go but it was expected ofcourse.
I really didn't see any reason why Mormegil was lynched, I must've missed something, someone care to enlighten me on this subject? The ones who voted for Holby: Saucepan Man Gurthang Caranlondien ( known innocent ) I suggest we take a good look at Gurthang aswell. And Holby insisted we lynch Saucepan Man, or did she merely hint he's not to be trusted, I'm not sure how to interpret that message. That's makes my suspect list Saucepan Man Gurthang Glirdan |

Our village seems to be suffering from Gifted mistakes...
![]() With half the original village proven innocent in one way or another (of course, Findeasea, Caran, and Taliesin could theoretically be the villager Lover - in which case, the wolves will probably get him/her sometime in the next couple nights), maybe we should finally be able to get somewhere. Per Ang's request: Sauce – 1 (Diamond 1) TGWBS – 1 (Rune 2) Firefoot – 1 (Morm 3) Durelin – 2 (Firefoot 4, Holby 11) Glirdan – 1 (Taliesin 5) Rune – 3 (Durelin 6, Lalaith 12, Findeasea 16) Holby – 3 (Sauce 7, Caran 10, Gurthang 15) Morm – 3 (Glirdan 8, TGWBS 9, Kath 14) Kath – 1 (Ang 13) I'm sort of coming to the conclusion that we might not have very bold wolves; there just aren't many opportunities for wolf-on-wolf votes. The only possibilities are: Day 1: Glirdan (4th voter) for Kath Gurthang (18th voter) for Diamond Day 2: Firefoot (15th voter) for Lalaith Day 3: Diamond (1st voter) for Sauce Rune (2nd voter) for TGWBS Firefoot (4th voter) for Durelin Durelin (6th voter) for Rune Lalaith (12th voter) for Rune Ang (13th voter) for Kath Comments: Day 1: Either of these I could see as theoretically possible. Although Glirdan's vote would have been rather bold, Kath was not gathering much support for voting that Day, as I recall, and Nilp and Eomer both were. Gurthang's vote for Diamond certainly could be, but it's almost too obvious. It doesn't seem like a good place for a wolf-on-wolf vote - 18th position, and for someone who doesn't have any votes yet. Day 2: Well, I know I'm innocent, but you all don't... I'll let you decide how wolvish my vote is. This seems like a rather weird strategy to play by, though, to me anyway. *shrugs* Day 3: Diamond, Rune, myself, and Durelin were all the first to vote for the people of their choice, and no one had received a second vote. This would be risky in any of their cases, but it's quite possible at that point that they had decided that it was worth a little risk, that their numbers looked well enough that a possible bit of sacrifice would be worth it. Lalaith created a four way tie when she voted for Rune so that he, Morm, Holby, and Durelin all had two votes - I would say that this is a fair possibility for a wolf-on-wolf vote, if again slightly risky. But again, they may have thought it would be worth it, even if he did get lynched. Ang's vote for Kath may be one of the most wolvish looking votes here. Four other people had two votes, this only made one for Kath, but so many people already had votes that this wouldn't be particularly suspicious. I'd say it's a possibility. Of course, it's possible that none of these are the case. Voting has been so spread out that the wolves might not have felt it necessary to vote for their own. And maybe to decide, we need to look outside the individual votes... |
