Game Thread: WW LXXXVI - The Halls of Mandos

[Boromir88]

Nog's now moved to threat alert Godzilla. I see nothing beneficial that can come from the insinuations living players are cheating. That's rather unsporty when there's no proof for it. We've all played long enough together, I would think that alone would make everyone trustworthy enough stick to the rules. It's no different than the fact I trust living players aren't discussing the game, while the game is going on with eachother (unless allowed by the rules).

++Nog

I'll probably be back before the DL, but my mind's not going to change about this one today.

There I was forceful and sounding threatening, but I did it to get an explanation from Greenie why she would have voted for Nessa today, over Nog or Mith, who to me so far have looked more dangerous today.

In the end, Greenie is the principled player who will make her own choices. And therefor I felt it was ok to twist her arm a bit to get answers as to why Nessa today.

[Glirdan]

Ummm, have Nessa or BeiGei made an appearance at all yet??

[the phantom]

Nessa is there with Wilwa and Sally- they've appeared briefly.

Blind hasn't been around at all.

Can I have a vote count please?


I don't like some of the things I've seen regarding Boro, so he may get my vote, but I also still don't think Lottie is my good little pop. Those are my current choices.


I'm sorry I can't be around; I'll post once more, maybe twice, but that'll be it. After toDay I'll have the ability to stalk the thread again. I'll vote in my next post, and explain more toMorrow.

ETA: Blind is probably going to get modfired. Let's not pay any attention to her. Catch active wolves.

[Mithalwen]

I am not a wolf, I am not a cobbler. I have had a black dog day and was considering withdrawing but I am trying to get a grip because of how finely balanced the game is. It isn't due to anything said here more that I think I am having a slightly delayed reaction to the last 6 months of RL and too late have realised that this has been a bit ambitious. All a bit much...

[the phantom]

Ah, very sorry, Mith. I promise I won't gun for you today, if that makes any difference.

Sally!

The Voting:

Lommy ++ Wilwa
Green ++ Nog
Agan ++ Nog (2)
Boro ++ Nog (3)

[Glirdan]

Okay, I can't stand to wait any longer and will vote

++Nog

If anyone wants to see why, read post #303 for my reasoning. I really have to go.

[the phantom]

Hoo boy... That set-up sounds so suspicious. We'll see...

*waits for Nog*

[Nessa Telrunya]

Okay, I'm here and have read through the thread. All I have to say is wow, my head is seriously spinning right now. So much has happened that I have no idea where to look.

Legate, I know my vote was really bizarre, but I'll shamefully admit that it was a throwaway vote.

I also see why Greenie would suspect me, but I'm just being honest. After all, ordos have nothing to lose from honesty-we just have to find some wolves.

Aaand, Nog seems to be ruffling everybody feathers, and the whole situation makes me upset. This is more "aggressive" than I've ever seen him in my admittedly small number of games with him, but he doesn't seem to think that of himself. However, the distrust of the other players looks odd. Just plain odd.

And the whole Shasta stuff makes sense to me. I don't know who I'll vote. It won't do any good to toss my vote like yesterDay, since it wouldn't affect the lynch, but I don't want a double-lynch. That leaves bandwagoning.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Hm. Believe him and go with my Glirdy vote?

Or think he's a wolf, that any counter reveals would only help his case (and put the 'real' seer in danger), and that he's trying to get the Ranger to switch protections from the Lover to the false-seer so that both Lovers are gone for good?

Grrrr.

I don't know what to think.

[wilwarin538]

So I just skimmed through, sorry I didn't come back when I said I would, I lost track of time and had to rush to work.

I was going to comment on a few random things, but then Nog posted. So I will focus on that.

I am inclined to believe him. This would be a rather crazy bold thing for a Wolf, or even a Cobbler to do, on only Day 2. And I can understand why he felt he had to reveal, what with the Lovers in the position they're in, and people seeming to want to vote for him. Now he'll be safe for toNight, and then he can dream of people as they die, and hopefully the Ranger lasts for a while and can provide us with a bunch of those dreams later on in the game (even if it's just dreams of dead players, that's still super useful, cause it'll be information that we can use to find connections between people).

So I believe him. And now I'm trying to figure out if we should bother killing Phantom? I'm inclined to not at the moment, he can't do much harm, so I would say we don't waste the lynch.

x'ed since Noggins

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Ai, ai! You mean to kill me, do you, Nog?

All right, now. My first reaction was "okay, obvious bluff, he's a baddie in totally bad situation, what better can he do?" Now, then, I would've suggested to keep him alive: basically, reason no.1 - what I have said before, he's a Cobbler, right now better alive than dead, where he will just make a mess. Now there comes reason no.2 from the completely opposite perspective - if he really is the Seer, then of course we should keep him alive. However, once again considering all his posts before - with the arguments which I really think were totally off - I would like to lynch him more than ever. Or at least, well, I cannot trust him. And it all comes down to questions of Rangers, Lovers and all this.

Well. It must be said that the points about him behaving "mean" when being a Gifted are relevant. It is true that he acts that way as a Gifted, and I wouldn't put it past phantom to be a Cobbler either, and the dream choices would make sense too, but... really, this time, if I have to bet...

All right, in any case, I am against lynching him, that's enough. Either Seer or Cobbler - in any case, no reason to lynch him just as yet. And, well, let's see what dream he comes up with toMorrow.

For now, back to my old question: whom to vote, and then I should really go to sleep.
