++Volo

and just so you know before you most likely die Durelin....I am not a wolf.

I will hopefully have more tomorrow.

Anguirel · 01-15-2007, 08:19 AM

The chance of the wolf telling the truth, and in fact being the Seer, is nil.

However...in the extremely unlikely event that I am completely wrong, Voloin's current claims - that his innocence proves me and Nilp guilty, instead of just Orilin - is of course nonsense. Beorn, it disconcerts me that you're giving ear to it, but then I suppose you are the rival proven innocent. If you're not a wolf, Voloin clearly wanted you onside anyway.

I suppose we shouldn't rule out, either, the possibility that Moddwen has secretly thrown a false Seer into the ring (they can't both be real, as their dreams contradict each other). But on the whole I find that extremely implausible.

Goodbye, Lestrade. And no, it isn't au revoir...

Yea, whatever.

But who's Moriarty? And Watson? What if I'm Watson? Yes, what if I'm Moriarty...

Thinlómien · 01-15-2007, 08:34 AM

But were there a false seer, all the dreams wouldn't be false; both our seer-candidates have claimed Nogrod innocent as he was. Nah, I think another of them is a pretender, and I think it's most probably Volo.

But why would he start such a fight? Why did he do all this? He's not the last wolf alive, why to cause such confusion...? Why would he name just me innocent? I had already voted him. I thought he would rather have tried to lure someone that had not voted yet... If he's a wolf, did he except his fellow wolves to offer him support? I'm quite baffled.

Ang, what do you mean by me giving ear to Volo? I acknowledge the possibility he's right, not Durelin, but I still believe that Durelin's the seer. What's wrong with that? I'm not a seer anyway, I can't see their roles, so isn't it perfctly reasonable for me to say a few things about if Volo's right, especially when if things were so, I'd be the next one killed?
If you're talking about me saying you and Dury should be lynched, be Volo the real seer... That's certainly not giving ear to him, the Dury-lynch is pure sense and obvious, and about lynching you... well... you can't say I didn't think that before Volo mentioned it!

edit. xed with Volo

Anguirel · 01-15-2007, 08:40 AM

Fair enough, Beorn, perhaps I was a little over strict. In any case, Volo's latest post has rendered the question pretty much academic.

It looks so... I hope it's so, otherwise this little game might get a bit too complicated.

VOTING IS CLOSED

Death to follow shortly.

(I apologize for the even-earlier-than-I-had-thought NIGHT, I forgot the BD's clock was much slower. Next DAY should begin at the normal time.)

Oddwen · 01-15-2007, 09:01 AM

Hackles were up, beards were stiffened and waggling, toe-hair was especially curly - finally, a promising lynch candidate.

"No no!" cried Voloin. "I'm the Seer!"

"Uh, no you're not," said Orilin.

"I'll PROVE it!" snarled Voloin. From his party jacket he whipped out a small bottle, emblazoned with a skull and marked in several distinct runes to be 'Poison'.

"And what is that supposed to prove?" snapped Anguirelshield.

"That you're wrong, and I am the only Gifted left in this hall." Voloin looked them all in the eye. "Do you want I should drink this?"

"Yes," said everyone.

"Er," he said. "You want me, your Seer, to drink this POISON?"

"Yes," they said again. "Votes are irritractable, after all."

He began to sweat. "Fine," he said quietly. "You'll be sorry." With a swift movement and a fierce grimace, he downed the bottle in one gulp. Then he exploded.

You thought dwarves were hairy - well, you've never seen a were-dwarf. He clawed at the sky and screamed out his rage at Orilin (especially), and charged. But before he got there, the eyes melted out of his skull and he dropped dead.

"Baruk Khazad!" they all bellowed in joy, though not one of them had to raise an axe. "For the Shire!" "For the Carrock!" "Edro, Edro!"

Dori88 (Innocent), dismembered on NIGHT four
Voloin (Werewolf), took poison and melted his own brains on DAY four

Surprise - it's NIGHT five! Wolves may start regrouping. I need names please from them, and also from the Seer if you wish.

Oddwen · 01-16-2007, 09:33 AM

Despite the precautions they took, Orilin was found dead the next morning, most of her face clawed away. They burned her body also, and also used the same "She was a burned dwarf" quote when she was asked of.

But when the fire died, they found in her ashes two stunning blue gems.

"Her eyes?" they said incredulously. "If we ever get home, we're going to start a worldwide search for Seers! And...well, um, ask if we can have their eyes.........no, nevermind."

DAY five has begun, please discuss the implications of this.

Anguirel · 01-16-2007, 09:46 AM

How regrettable. Now let's get down to SLAYING WOLVES!

The obvious puzzle of today is the guilt or innocence of Beorn.

Less obvious is the hunt for possible low-key wolves.

Durelin gave it as her opinion that our remaining foes were Menel and Valier. I suspect the former but not the latter. What do others think?

(I will elucidate in time, I'm rushing now, hence the terseness...)
