So, how to end this Mexican stand-off?

Well, here's an idea. How about I ask my delightful accomplice here to retract her vote and re-cast it for Inzil? That way you Wolves can seal the deal, regardless of whatever I do with my vote, by the remaining two switching their votes to Inzil. As soon as I see one of you do it, I will be happy to follow suit.

You'd be up for that, wouldn't you Fee Fee?

[Roa_Aoife]

I believe that would be appropriate, but Fea would have to move first.

[Nogrod]

C'mon guys...

Okay, it was a terribly long day and I have just gotten home only to go to sleep as I have an early morning call tomorrow.

But it seems I have lost nothing during my absence and there has been little to do toDay. It's a kind of an anticlimax: knowing who the wolves are, knowing the lovers and being just unable to do anything about it but watch whether the baddies are going to win alone or with the treacherous lovers.

Heh, the thought crossed my mind as well sitting on a bus home and trying to think whether there were any loopholes we might make use of. But that's just not possible unless Inzil is not the ranger (which I find highly improbable at this stage). And it would have been even more reckless than what Sally did yesterDay - and futile as the wolves would know she's faking and probably wouldn't have joined the choir.

Actually... if Inzil is not the ranger but Roa believed he was, then she could have thought of not so much "flushing the wolves out into the open" to be identified but saving Inzil as the wolves would not have dared to vote him... Well, if someone was to come up with such a risky idea it could be Roa. But I do believe Inzil's claim more than the theory of Roa bluffing.

Anyway, I can see only one way we can win this - but it means you lovers would have to sacrifice your victory and let at least one of you die. But we could actually lynch Roa toDay together and make it right toMorrow (I know who to vote, but to you - one or two of you - it would be a 2 out of 3 or 4 chance) while the wolves either kill both of you lovers or one of you and Inzil during the next two Nights. With your "vengeange kill" the remaining one of you can make a 50-50 win or just vote with me to a victory for... me. (Heh, I was going to write "victory for the innocents", but then realised there would be only one left besides the one of you remaining...) Or if the wolves were risk-takers with a vengeange in mind, me and Inzil could flush the last wolf

Sadly it seems you're not into heroism but to victory only...

Ninja.

QK

That being said, sorry I wasn't around to do this sooner. This particularly charming ninja was helping her gramma renovate the living room up t'The Farm and has meekly endured more razor sharp shards of 50 year old wallpaper stabbing under her fingernails than anybody should ever have to.

*Gazes lovingly into Fea's eyes*

Right, that's two irrevocable votes for Inzil. One more and I shall follow suit, which will wrap things up nicely.

Hehe. You really don't give up do you, Nog. You seriously expect us to have gone through all of this only to throw it away at the last minute? You might as well ask a Seer not to dream, a Wolf not to kill, a Ranger not to guard or a Cobbler not to ... er ... Cobble. We are Lovers. We love - ourselves - to the exclusion of all other considerations. That's what we do.

[Inziladun]

Oh, blazes. Such suspense.

Que, sera, sera....

I whole-heartedly agree, dearest snuggle-muffin.

[Brinniel]

Oh boy, hasn't this been a fun Day.

--Roa

++Inziladun

I know you're a ranger and all, but that makes it all the more fun to lynch you.


And Noggie, do you really think the lovers would sacrifice themselves just to save you? You might as well just give it up already and accept you've lost.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The moment I wake up,
Before I put on my makeup,
I think of how much I love you.
While plotting our coup now,
And simpering all over you now,
I think of how much I love you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart,
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part;
Oh, Sauce, I love you!
Together, forever, that's how it must be:
To live without you
Would only mean vengeance for me.

I vote to lynch Inzil,
Cementing our choice who to kill;
I tell the world that I love you.
Deadline I just take time
And all through my post I put rhymes;
I write little love poems for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part.
Oh, Sauce, I'll love you!
Together, forever, that's how it must be:
To live without you
Would only mean vengeance for me.

I tell the world that I love you...

Oh, Saucepan Man, how I love you...

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too...
And I'm in love with you...
Answer my prayer now, babe...

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part.
Oh, how I'll love you!
Together, forever, that's how it must be:
To live without you
Would only mean vengeance for me!

The mods, they rule the world.
Players rise when they give the word.
Now in the morning they set the tone,
Watching the game they totally own.

Ni got to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in all the players' eyes,
Listen as the Village sings
"The Moddess is God, but the Co-Mod is king!"

She watches expectantly
And the Day ends epically,
And she discovers that her players stand
With a turn of events that Lovers planned.

She hears the End of Day bells a ringing,
Player Parody choirs are singing,
The players to die cannot be healed,
Accepting the ending that fate had dealed.

For some reason I can't explain,
Once I play there is never
Never an honest word.
And that was when Ni ruled the world.

It was the wicked and wild Lovers,
Blew down the Good to let Bad take cover,
Shattered windows and the sound of drums:
People couldn't believe what they'd become.

Revolutionaries wait
For their heads on a silver plate.
Good guys puppets on a lonely string.
The Lovers or Nienna as king?

She hears the End of Day bells a ringing,
Player Parody choirs are singing,
The players to die cannot be healed,
Accepting the ending that fate had dealed.

For some reason I can't explain,
Once I play there is never
Never an honest word.
And that was when Ni ruled the world.

She hears the End of Day bells a ringing,
Player Parody choirs are singing,
The players to die cannot be healed,
Accepting the ending that fate had dealed.

For some reason I can't explain,
Once I play there is never
Never an honest word.
And that was when Ni ruled the world.
(But Mira was still God.)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Also, Mira at least expressed interest in reading the Lover PMs. Sauce has them on file. I'm sure he'll oblige once he's awake and around.
