WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thinlómien · 03-18-2009, 04:13 AM

Sorry to be dreadfully boring, but I'm not exactly impressed with this game this far. Seven hours, 3½ pages and 99% chatter. Kids, I'm disappointed with you.

Anyway let's start talking SOMETHING (anything) more sensible. Durelin seems like the only one who's made an effort at anything, but then again, she probably did her analysis just as a parody.

And by the way why is it always me (or Nogrod

) who has to start the serious discussion?

I'd be inclined to think that at least one of the chatters is evil. Why? Because I can't believe that of half a dozen innocent souls no one would try to say anything sensible in three pages of posting. Seriously. I know bantering is a lot of fun and innocents can get caught up in it just as well as baddies, but one could imagine that if all these people are innocent, the odds that someone would start talking seriously are so high that this situation should not exist. Ergo, we have at least one duck here. If I had to bet, I'd say it's Mira. Just a gut feeling.

I don't know why Nerwen's messing things up. Not like her normal. Maybe she's a cobbler. (I wouldn't be surprised if we had several of those.)

Dury and Izzie seem the most innocent to me this far. Izzie because I kind of sympathise with her attitude and Dury because she's the only one who's been talking any sense.

Mira likes hockey.

Thinlómien · 03-18-2009, 05:41 AM

Cobbler. Shameless cobbler.

But despite those smileys, I'm actually quite serious. That's what it looks like (and what a lot of other people loo like too).

edit:xed with Mac

Rikae · 03-18-2009, 06:12 AM

How do you... ? Oh never mind, this is a family asylum.

Well, it looks to me as if Fea and Phantom (in spite of his pining for the fjords) have posting requirements; Durelin was ordered to spam us with statistics, Lommy was told to act like Nogrod, Nerwen to revisit her fangirl role, and Mac to act like me.

If this means anything, it means that they are all cobblers, making our wereducks Mira, Lari, Nienna and Brinn.

Several people have hinted quite blatently at being the seer, and therefore are probably evil: Nienna, Brinn, and Shasta.

Nienna and Brinn are doubly evil. They are probably wereduck lovers secretly plotting against the rest of their flock.

Or maybe all this is utter nonsense because all speculation is impossible at this point.... who knows.....

. By toMorrow, those of us still alive will probably be considerably wiser. For instance, we don't even know how many deaths there'll be tonight.

Bla bla bla.

Sadly, that's true. But it doesn't mean we should waste toDay and not try to do anything useful.

Btw, I just got a beautiful yet terrifying idea... next time I mod, I secretly tell ALL the players to act like Nogrod!

wilwarin538 · 03-18-2009, 06:42 AM

Alright, I'm here and well rested. I'm reading and taking notes. You will have my thoughts shortly, if I can get all of this chatter sorted out that is.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-18-2009, 07:16 AM

Rikae seems to be curiously logical.

Rikae, you're another genius! I think you're right!

Hey, what about posting YouTube links being a special task? Brinn's, maybe– I think she started it.

I think it's just awesome the way everyone has something to do in this village!

Wow, I feel so lost among all the inside jokes and youTube videos and talking dead people.

NOT THAT PEOPLE WILL BE QUIET EVEN AFTER THEY'RE DEAD.

I agree with the first part. Sooooo much talking. My brain hurts.

I agree with this also.....I mean, oops....there is sooooo not a youTube link in my post, what are you talking about??

K, now seriously, wow people. So I'm seeing the most logic coming from Durelin, Lommy and Rikae. So I'm re-reading those posts again.....ok done.

So I agree that atleast one of the chatters (who I see as being: Brinn, Mira, Lari and Nienna, the most) are evil, if not more then one. So I'll be keeping a close eye on thems.

I also agree that there is more then one cobbler, just because Sally seems to be like that. For all we know there may be like 8 cobblers and then Sally just picks a random person to die every Night, leaving no actual were-ducks, haha, that would be evil. Or half of us are were-ducks and the other half are all lovers with a were-duck, that too would be evil. Or there is only one were-duck who gets like 4 kills a Night....so many possibilities, it's quite interesting. This will be fun...

Since there are many who still haven't posted I'm not gonna post a list right now, depite the 4 pages of posts there isn't actually a lot to go on

.

So I'll be around all day here and there to participate in what ever discussions will occur, and hopefully we get lucky toDay.

Everyone play nice now!

Oh, and I'm quite excited about Nilp playing, I remember him being quite a lot of fun.

x'poster with everyone since my last post

Quite. I think it makes sense that at least one of the people is a wolf. It would be easier to determine if everybody were not saying nonsense all the time.

If that's your definition of relevance, dear, you have some serious thinking to do.

Just for the record, I do plan on posting something of actual relevance later today, but for now I must go register for those pesky classes so I can get me one of the confounded edumacations. Back later!

Kath · 03-18-2009, 10:48 AM

And back - that took a lot less time than I'd thought . . .

Well first off I think we need to lynch phantom. Just how many times is he going to get away with being killed and then just being able to pop back up on the thread? For all we know it’ll turn out he wins if everyone ignores him for the rest of the game and then he murders us all.

Really the whole of first page just banter.
As is the second.
More on the third.
End of the banter as Durelin pops us and does the one thing that will make her look suspicious – actually thinks about the game. Perhaps she has been given the task of analysing everything, perhaps she is just bored of reading nothing but either way it was going to stand out.
No I was wrong, more banter, though there does seem to be more useful stuff from now on.
Lommy is the second person to try and make sense – some suspicion of Mira and Nerwen. Thinks Durelin and Izzy seem innocent. And then there was a crosspost –was it Mira she was saying was a Cobbler?
Wilwa sees Durelin, Lommy and Rikae as the most logical, but logical doesn’t equal innocent. Thinks one of Mira, Lari, Brinn and Nienna are likely to be evil due to the chattering.
Lari – some interesting thoughts there.
Nog – interesting thought about Durelin but I think she was just listing everything.
Mac is listing Cobblers.

As much fun as this game is I can sense we might have some problems with figuring out anything very helpful! It seems that people are focusing on that little group of chatterers which might be a good idea. One of them more than likely has been told to be noisy but I doubt all of them would have been given the same instruction.

Macalaure · 03-18-2009, 05:39 AM

I have to say that those purple asylum people make me mightily suspicious. Could Sally have withstood the temptation to put them into cahoots of some sorts?

Instead of lynching youtube, shall we not just lynch everybody who posts youtube links?

I'm sure there could even be multiple cobblers, and seers, and lovers of cobblers, and the other way around... and people in between who're even worse!!

Most certainly. Except that you keep on insisting on the singular. With the sorts of Sally in charge, that is pretty much out of the question.

Now you're being ridiculous.

Good point. Miri did post a lot. I hope she didn't take her mouth too full.

And Rikae seems to want to bubble on bratwurst.

And Fea seems to have gotten into a habit of choking on things lately.

But don't worry. phantom is resisting his urges and doesn't touch anything. At least that's what he said. Maybe he'll do a better job next time.

*hides*

I agree with this one also.
