Tol-in-Gaurhoth LI: The Pain of Wargs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gwathagor · 10-12-2008, 05:31 PM

Not only did I defend Brinniel, who turned out to be Melkor (surprise!), but I also voted against our Seer. I look pretty dirty right now.

How many werewolves do we have now? I guess it has to be 3 or less, since there are only 7 players remaining, right? That doesn't seem to fit with the prophecy. But I guess we should just focus on trying to sift out one at a time.

Well - I've written all this and now I discover that I don't actually have anything useful to say...I guess I'll try to stop in and do some substantial analysis later this evening, or tomorrow afternoon.

I will say this. I'm sick of voting for obvious people that turn out to be good. At this point in time, the odds are good that I will go after somebody who's been quiet and unobtrusive, like Diamond or Gollum. Yeah, that's flawless logic for you.

But if she was Melkor, wasn't she kind of on our side? I got that picture at last... And btw if it was anyone else that said something like this I'd be raising my eyebrows at the jumpinessbut suspicious comments like this are very gwathistic...

Agreed.

Oh. I guess we are Wargs. I just saw "Melkor" and I thought "Ah ha, he's bad. I'm a dummy." I hope you're right, but I'm not going to worry about it too much at this point, since they're both dead - or gone anyway.

Based on this, I think you're right about Melkor, Lommy.

And if that's the case (that Legate was bad), then Gollum has an interesting point here:

If Legate went after Gollum (did he? Someone should check...), then it's probably safe to bet that Gollum isn't a traitor. If.

Hello all,

Apologies for my recent lack of participation, I have been in the process of moving into a new flat and haven't been able to get on a computer.

And a lot has happened since I last posted.

I must say I don't really understand this Melkor-Manwe thing, although obviously Melkor was pro-warg.

As for Shasta dying of grief at the realisation of the pain of wargs, I don't really get that either.

At the moment I am inclined towards voting for Gollum, basically because there have been vague suspicions directed at him for a while now.

Hopefully I can come up with better justification (or even a different vote altogether) on further reading.

Hi I am here and will be around a lot more later. Still trying to get my head around this but my instincts are at least holding true. I think Shasta was surely modfired?

Gaunt · 10-13-2008, 06:18 AM

Is it likely that the pairs of werewolves mentioned in Eomer's prophecy are meant to describe competing pairs of werewolves? I.e. It was Melkor's mission to kill Manwe and vice versa, and that when Legate (Manwe) was lynched by the Warg vote Brinniel's mission as Melkor was complete so she left the game.

I have no experience of this game to go on, so I don't know if scenarios like this have happened before.
