WW LXXXVIII: What Lies in the Dark (Game Thread)

[the phantom]

Anyway, why did we kill Glirdy?

It was just his time to go.

(Yours is Day 4, fyi.)

Also, do we know if anyone was stung last night? Do we have to wait for the narration, or will we not be in the loop on protections and cures?

[the phantom]

Ah, I see the Moddess put in an answer to my question-

Ha ha ha!

And Sam has struck a blow already. And with these kind of odds, no less. Quite impressive. He must possess nearly Phantom-level awesomeness. Either that or he himself was the sting target, and if that's the case I will take credit for it, as no doubt some scheme of mine made Sam look like an attractive sting target. You watch, it'll totally be to my credit.

Nothing much has changed since yesterday. Wilwa, Lottie, and I are still entirely innocent and I will defend them forever.

Lhuna still is extremely shady, and Inzil looks like he's up to no good. In my opinion we should all shake hands and agree that those two shall be lynched Day 3 and Day 4. I'm still undecided on Day 5 though. Hmmm....

Hurray for Sam!

D1's voting was quite disasterous. I mean there was to be sure quite a high probability that we misslynch as there was only one baddie to hit and one stung person as the second best choice, but the way we voted and how many people did not... There's little to say in there, but I'll look at it shortly before I turn to sleep...


Nicely X-posted with tp...

And Nog is here. I don't know if he's still good today, but he was good yesterday (aka not Shelob). I think I'm pretty safe in saying that given the way things turned out with what I believed he spotted and what I theorize happened last night etc.

We still on the same page, Nog?

[wilwarin538]

Yay, good job Sammy!

Well that's definitely an awesome start. So the person who had already been stung from the start, have they been turned? If so then we have Shelob and one spawn to worry about, but another spawn won't be able to be created for another two Nights (since they would need to be stung toNight, and wouldn`t be fully turned until the following Night, right?). Pretty good start I think.

I'll be able to pop on randomly for the next couple of hours before I go to sleep, but most of my participation will be occuring tomorrow, and I should be aound a lot then.

xèd with Inzil

I think the original spawn is turned now. I think you're right about the next spawn not taking its place until at least Day 4.

Indeed. If, of course, he merely wasn't Shelob's choice.

Wasn't Sam led to believe he should target Lhuna last Night?

I don't see that much can be gained from the voting, especially with the fact that there was only one spawn, and they had a 50% chance of their vote not counting.

I'm "up to no good", am I? YesterDay you apparently weren't all that concerned about me. You yourself haven't earned an "automatic innocent" pass yet, by any means.

[Nogrod]

Early votes (with the approximate time before the DL the vote was given)

- 4.40 Wilwa -> Glirdy
- 2.30 Lhuna -> Lottie
- 2.20 Inzil -> Boro
- 1.40 Bom -> Lhuna

Last minute votes (with the exact time of the vote)

.55 Shasta -> Nogrod
.59 Boro -> Glirdan 2
.59 tp -> Glirdan 3
.00 Nogrod -> Glirdan 4

Did not vote

Nerwen
Lottie
Fea
Nienna


I'd bet quite a lot for Shelob hiding somewhere among the early voters or the non-voters. Which is no argument that one's time-zone or RL hurries make one guilty (or innocent to that matter), but that these would be the crowds Shelob would like to hang with.

The reason for that is, that as I said alreayd yesterDay, in this kind of a game setting that's the best place for Shelob, not to stand out and always be in the middle of many similar kind of candidates. But also I find it pretty improbable that either Shelob or her stinged-one were seriously at fray yesterDay. If either of them was, then they must be found among the list of those who had one vote before Glirdan got his three additional votes:

This brings me back to this speculation about Lhuna's possible hints of being infected (my theory about Glirdy and Lottie has already been proven wrong).

And in regards it. I think there is a thing we should know for sure.

Sally: Did Sam have a chance to heal someone already last Night or did his activity only start last Night so that the first healing of someone in the process of transformation he could do would have been possible at the beginning of this Day?

In plain talk: did he have a chance to heal someone last Night or did Shelob get one minion for free?


Let's talk a bit more toDay, shall we?

I don't know how much stuff you have on that page, but I do think I understand at least the important part of what you're doing.

[satansaloser2005]

Nienna regrets to inform you that she has to withdraw. She, too, was an unpunctured innocent.

Indeed, and I'd be very interested to know if Sam did in fact attempt to cure her.

Tell me people- could any harm come from me asking everyone to say who they would've attempted to cure if they were Sam? That way, if you or I have an inkling as to who Sam is, we'd see their answer and know for certain whether they attempted to turn Lhuna.

Is there something obviously bad that could happen as a result of that plan? (I can't think about it properly without distraction until I'm home, so I'm leaving it up to you people to vote the plan up or down.)

Calm down lad, you still have a couple days to have fun before you die. No need to be defensive. It's simply the way of things.

Every time I see "Sammy" I think of Wayside School's dead rat visitor. Raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about.

But yeah, don't refer to him as "Sammy". I realize it's a cute version of the name that fits how adorable he is, and you have as much right to determine his nickname as anyone, but it just confuses me. How about "Samantha"?

Perhaps I'm dense (entirely possible), but I don't see what it would accomplish. Anyway, you're counting on the baddies among us to be honest, aren't you?

I'm quite calm, sir. Just doing a bit of poking and prodding of my own. Maybe something useful will come of it.

x/d with Bom and tp

[Bom Tombadillo]

Hoom Hoom. Thinking about what you said, Nogrod, led me to consider further my suspicions about the Glirdy-wagon, and to come to the opposite conclusion: Boromir88 and you are Shelob and spawn! I noticed that you two had voted Glirdan - poor, innocent Glirdan - with no apparent reason, not even trying to justify it. Even phantom gave some warning.

And then you attempt to place (Noglob? Sherod? or maybe Shelob88?) in either of the other two categories! I'm onto you . . .

Plus, by your own logic:

But also I find it pretty improbable that either Shelob or her stinged-one were seriously at fray yesterDay.

As noted by the illustrious wilwarin538 and myself, respectively, both Boromir88 and your (eight-legged?) self were quite quiet yesterday.

Now, due to the lack of retractable votes, I won't vote for you juuuuuust . . . yet. But I'mma be watching you, I is, preciousssss.

__________________________________________________ _______________

And phantom, that sounds like an excellent idea. Full disclosure where Sam is concerned can't hurt (can it?). Just watch for misdirection, everybody - Shelob and her minions will be trying to steer us wrong as much as possible.

Also, I would appreciate more justificationizing of your accusationizing of Inziladun. Although I'm certain you're right () I don't quite see the undoubtedly impeccable reasoning.

Well, can it? That's what I'm asking. I guess you're voting that the plan sounds good then?

Let's have some more input. Inzil, Nog, Wilwa- still around? Anyone else?

(For those that don't know what I'm talking about, it's this-

[satansaloser2005]

I'll allow the hypotheticals, as long as no one says "Well, I'm Sam and I protected...."


Also, Noglob is now the official term. Sherod confused me.
