Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVII - Ballroom Blitz - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kitanna · 12-19-2006, 08:10 PM

This is just a head's up that I will probably be voting in about four hours. I get to go to work nice and early tomorrow and I won't be able to get back on until well after Day has ended.
I'll probably be reviewing the posts for a bit before voting. I really have no idea which way to go.

Farael · 12-19-2006, 08:26 PM

I think I'm going to be voting tonight as well. I don't know if I'll be able to check in to the 'downs tomorrow before the deadline, and since we have retractable votes...

I have nothing to comment on the latest posts. I'll wait until later on tonight and then cast my vote.

The Specials are on now? Sweet, up I skank!

Valier · 12-19-2006, 08:45 PM

Valier spins softly as if floating, towards the now assembled group of dancers. Her eyes closed, humming softly, she pauses, sighs and stops. "Excuse me? I don't think I quite understand......someone is dead? Why would anyone want to hurt some one at such a lovely place?" She now twirls her hair on one finger as she stands slightly on one leg. " I mean oh yeah now I remember....." Looks confused for a moment. " Poor, Poor Miss Durelin and Captain as well!! What ever shall we do?" Valier quickly looks side to side and gives a little shiver and takes a deep breath
"I know that killing the silent ones may sound like a good idea, but I think it folly. Whatever we say the wolves will certainly take into account. If we say kill the silent ones they will talk lots, if we say kill the loud ones they will back off. As a wolf the easiest way to get by is to talk quite frequently and try to sway votes whan they need to or if villagers want to kill the quiet ones they will just sit back and let them get killed. I say if anyone should go it is because of the way they react to others and the inconsistencies in their posting and opinions. I have had some experience being bad (though I've given it up for a more calmer life) I will try and post more things that I did and noticed with other wolves as soon as I can. I know today is random, but lets at least try and put some effort into it, seeing as we have no Seer or any other gifted to protect or help us. Every choice we make can hurt us if we don't think it through." Valier shakes her head suddenly and stares vacantly into the distance.
"Oh I love this song!! Would someone care to dance?"

Farael · 12-19-2006, 09:08 PM

I'm getting tired about repeating this point, but the merit of the "let's lynch the silent ones" is not necessarily in finding a silent wolf.

It is too likely that, if we enforce this plan, the wolves will start talking so that they won't be caught as "silent". A talking wolf is a wolf that is more likely to make a mistake. Furthermore, at the end of the game, silent players tend to draw attention off the main topics at hand (and while they are not lynched, they cause a lot of uncertainty).

If we put my plan into work, any self-respecting Ordo will talk to help the village, which will isolate the wolves (or cobblers for that matter) if they decide not to talk. Furthermore, if everyone talks, then there will be no silent ones to lynch, while still forcing the wolves on the spotlight.

Holby, I'm the last to advocate hasty stereotyping. I'm pinpointing those who haven't posted merely to
a) Keep track of them, it's easy to overlook them.
b) Try to prompt them to post!

Only meant it (and the rest of post) in general terms, a reminder even to myself.
I'm glad someone, in this case you, occassionally tallies to see who hasn't spoken yet.

Understandably, but we must remember that he is rude boy.

Farael, I get it.

Kitanna · 12-19-2006, 10:50 PM

I am afraid I need to cast a vote now. I'm hoping to grab on a few minutes online tomorrow before work, but it's nothing I can promise or I'd hold off voting.
I'll admit this is a pretty random vote and I do hate random votes. But I feel it is better to cast one out here randomly then completely miss out on the voting process.

++ Morm

I hold no real strong feelings toward any one player, but I rarely trust Morm. So due to my lack of trust I put my vote out there for Morm for that reason. Not the best of reasons, but I'd hate to miss the voting altogether.

Farael · 12-19-2006, 11:43 PM

Well, I dare not postpone this any longer... I have very little to go on, and I hope I'll be able to sneak back sometime before the deadline, but it'll be a close call and I want to get a vote in.

It's too soon to vote for a "silent" one, as they may yet speak before the day is over, but unless something happens, and if I get back in time, I shal doubtlessly vote according to my plan. It's up to you all to follow me or not.

Yet for now, I have two main suspects. My Brains tell me Rikae's reaction to Morm was rather weird (or wolfish). My Gut tells me there's something fishy about Folwren. Based on my luck on previous games, I should go for Folwren... and you know what? I think I will. I really have nothing better to go on than that "feeling" that there's something wrong.

++Folwren.

I hope to be back on time to lynch me a silent one.

Naria · 12-20-2006, 12:37 AM

Oh my, how the tongue can go on and on and on and on. *Snaps a piece of bubble gum and continues chewing* I will now go and read what all has been said. Oh and before I go and do this, just a reminder...don't hate me because I'm a quiet heiress, afterall quietness has been passed down to me and I am entitled to a Day one's grace. *Pulls out her scroll* see it says so right here. "Upon my death, my only daughter Naria will be entitled to a first Day's grace from any lynching if she comes upon a werewolf infested village." *Snaps gum again and toddles off to read*

Perhaps I misunderstand you but I seem to gather from this that everything we do will lead to our detriment. I'm fairly confident that Valier is one of our cobblers. Now the question is do we lynch her or not? She may, if left alive, lead us to the wolf with whom she is acquainted or we may have just effectively made her impotent to do anything...that is if everybody else trusts me on this one.

Rikae, oh she's innocent and likely I'll take my vote back but it was sure fun while it lasted.

Another one that has raised my eyebrow is Celuien. She seems overly neutral on everything she says but I'm more confident in Valier being the cobbler than in Celuien being the wolf.

I do also like the fact that Noggie has come under suspicion...it's about time I say.

Well in light of the disco ball over head

Do we have any Toasters coming up?
