WWJ XI: When World's Collide - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thinlómien · 09-12-2006, 11:09 PM

Thinlómien followed Nogrod to Volo's inn after hesitating a bit. She gestured Wilwa to join the company.

Thinlómien couldn't help smiling. The village was doing very well. "Nogrod, Boromir. If you are wolves, you are so cunning ones that I wouldn't mind losing the game to you." She curtseyed. "Both playing a part in lynching a wolf, again."

"Now, master Gil, you don't do much good for your cause by this statement:

We don't suffer much if one innocent more dies; we are in a better position than the sole wolf. If we however lynched you, and you were his/her scapegoat, s/he loses one and must find a new one. Besides, the theory's a bit hm... unconvincing. I'm sorry to say, but I don't think you'd be a probable wolf kill anyways."

"Volo, might I have an applejuice, please?" Thinlómien asked, taking a more comfortable position on the chair.

"Now, this Gil here certainly is one I'm interested to lynch. When he posts, he mostly gives quite suspicious statements. He's very silent and - I'm sorry to say - not a great asset to the village since he doesn't contribute very much to the discussion."

Macalaure · 09-13-2006, 03:01 AM

Macalaure trod into the bar smiling funnily and shaking his head. He ordered a pint and a second immediately and sat down. He downed his first pint, silently laughing and still shaking his head.

"Let me introduce you to the world of the wacky thoughts of Macalaure. But listen at your own peril!

For quite some time now I suspected that, due to their extreme trust towards each other, there is only the possibility that either both Nogrod and Boromir are wolves, or both are innocent. I paid serious heed to Kath's theory and found it quite possible and reasonable.
Yesterday, for the first time, I shyly tested my suspicion by throwing a little accusation towards Nogrod. His answers didn't manage to convince me in any way, but I was surprised by what Boromir said: "I'm not a wolf, so I and Nogrod can't be, so you're wrong." - weirdest kind of defense I have ever read. Talk about paranoia. The older the day grew, the more I was certain of the two's guilt.
The way the votes went it was clear that Valesse would be lynched. This was a bad situation for me because I raised my suspicion on her before, but now my chief suspects were going to lynch her! She had to be innocent and had to be saved. So I voted for Gil to give her a chance if she voted before Nogrod. Gil, I don't think you're useless, of course I don't. You just happened to be the only one who I could possibly have voted for with giving a reason. I hadn't said anything against, say Kath, before, so I couldn't have voted for her without baffling everyone. I'm sorry, pal. It didn't mean what I said.
If Valesse voted Gil and survived, I would have presented a case against Nogrod and Boromir today, and looking over my notes, it would have been not so short and not so bad. But now all this is impossible. The two brought two wolves under the earth. They're no wolves, not one of them.
I, too, wondered why Valesse didn't save herself, and reached the same conclusions as Nogrod"

Macalaure downed his second pint.

"It's amazing how I completely screwed up yesterday and still day and night went so well for us.

At the moment, I'm moderately suspicious of Naria and Gil, undecided about Kath and Sleepy and moderately unsuspicious of Volo. I will take a closer look at Lommy today. She's been all cute and cuddly so far, but some things she said of late made me raise an eyebrow."

Thinlómien · 09-13-2006, 03:48 AM

Thinlómien couldn't help bursting into a girlish giggle. "Cute and cuddly, Oromë save me, hopefully not. Mac, you're amusing me greatly." She smiled at the wainrider. "May I offer you a pint? Or a glass of apple juice maybe?"

She changed her position, and continued in a more serious tone. "This is no counter-suspicion, Macalaure, but your urgent and avid defence of your actions yesterday stroke me as a bit odd. Yet, now that I think of it, innocents too can overreact on things a bit, but I think that your eagerness to jump to your own defense is somewhat remarkable. I don't see you as a clear suspect, but not someone I'd trust to be innocent either."

"Now, I used quite a lot of time in recalling all the past events. After it I can say that I'm not as suspicious of Kath as I was before. Her defense yesterday was quite convincing. I'm not ready to trust her either, though."

"Volo I have no reason to suspect this far and that is the only thing that worries me in him or his behaviour. I'm inclined to think he's innocent though."

"Naria has been fairly vocal for a member of the Nariatic family and I'm still puzzled is that a good or a bad sign (though it certainly is a good thing), but I'm leaning towards her being a good guy. she's on the gray zone too."

"Gil is fairly suspicious and the threat he poses shouldn't be underestimated."

"Sleepy is a talking question mark for me."

Thinlómien sucked her hair. "I've no idea yet who to vote. Back to thinking, it is, I say."

Before falling to a trance, she suddenly rembered a comment she wished to reply. "Oh, Kath, that twisting of words... I just mean that I didn't say I was surprised I in no means - in my own opinion - conveyed the message I was surprised. I was actually interested and intrigued. I think there has been a misunderstanding and do not wish that to haunt this village life any further."

Volo · 09-13-2006, 06:16 AM

Today Volo woke tired but happy. Still shocked by the murder he commited, he picked some flowers and brought them to Diamond's grave. There he sat for a while. Without even having a bottle of anything with him. The nightmare was turning back to dream... or was it just a calm before the storm? Anyway, when he returned to his inn, he was extremely suprised to see it full. Everybody seemed happier then yesterday. Volo poured beer for everyone, exept Lommy, she got here juice.

"So friends, what are the plans for today? The seer is alive, shouldn't he/she tell us something now? Any other innocent won't have any use in lying about being a seer. And I think if the wolf starts lying, we'll find out. I do hope, that the seer knows the truth by now."

Volo stood up on a table and shouted "Let this be a congratulation to our ranger!", drank his mug slowly looking each person into the eyes.

"I hope yesterday cleared my name. I am also completely sure that Nogrod and Boromir aren't wolves. It's a fact! Now I would ask our seer to tell us about his/her knowledge. I suggest that the seer tells us about being a seer even if he/she doesn't know the last wolf, the ranger could try to keep him/her alive one more turn. And I do think we'll manage to recognize if the "seer" is a wolf."

Kath · 09-13-2006, 06:22 AM

Kath stood silently, inwardly despairing at her ability to pick out wolves, or rather her lack of it.

"Maybe I should just stay quiet from now on and let Noggie, Boro and Volo find the last wolf!"

She laughed and shook her head.

"But no, I will take part even if I'm not much help. I have a few jobs to take care of first though, so I'm just checking in and I'll be back later."

Boromir88 · 09-13-2006, 06:32 AM

Boromir addressed Volo, 'If the Seer does decide to reveal him/herself, I think we can take that person as being the truthful Seer. There would be no reason for the last wolf to come and say he/she was the Seer, because that would not get the last wolf a victory.'

Thinlómien · 09-13-2006, 06:43 AM

"Boromir said:

Yet history knows such wolves." Thinlómien took a sip from her cup. "Seriously though, I agree, it's quite useless."

Boromir88 · 09-13-2006, 06:17 AM

'I have no idea who to vote for today either,' remarked Boromir. 'Though I like Nogrod's case against Gil-galad, and right now he's the biggest lynchee. (will explain more in a bit).'

'Now as to last night's matters, not only did we catch a wolf, but the Ranger made a successful protection. Ahem,' Boromir cleared his throat, 'Did I not say our fortunes would change by having the two gifteds being a live this long? Onto the matter of the protection. I'm going to leave it completely up to the Ranger to decide if he/she wants to come out and tell us who he/she protected last night.'

'Gil, you are defending yourself vehemently today. That strikes me as rather unusual. If you remember I hadn't called you useless. In fact I think two days ago I said something like we should look more closely at what Gil says and not just discard it as rubbish, but this defense of yourself just seems strange...abnormal in a way. The only possibilities I've seen is that you've decided to step away from the Gil-galad family line (as I've never known your family members to defend themselves so staunchly), or you actually have something to hide. You actually have a strong reason to start pleading being the only wolf left, perhaps?'
