Tol-in-Gaurhoth CXIV – The Evil Breath of Morgoth in Dor-lómin, game thread

[Nogrod]

The Quarantine Thread has voted. They vote...

++ Brinniel



Votes thus far (two hours before the DL)

THE Ka -> Sally
QT -> Brinn

[satansaloser2005]

I don't know what I expected.

That makes me want us to leave Brinn alone for toDay, not that I was keen to vote her right now anyway.

[Loslote]

Huh. QT votes for Brinn again. Do they actually want Brinn lynched, or are they repeating yesterDay's vote as a way to refuse to give us anything from Huin to guess about?

There's no way to know. Brinn could easily be a wolf they're voting for just because they know we won't trust the QT.

Then again, they would only do that if they were pretty certain Brinn wouldn't be a viable candidate. That's why the QT DL really blunts their power.

It's also an even split over there right now, so who knows who chose Brinn as a candidate.

Right. Even if they use the vote to mess with us, they still need to take into account that it counts in the tally and can get the target lynched.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Okay, one thing is (nearly?) for sure - the votes in Sallywagon can't all come from Wolves. (I mean technically... that would be super bold... but probably they wouldn't yet do something like that! Besides if it was these four, then they'd have no reason to.)

Same from me. Having recently dealt with the same thing, I know it's doubly hard these days.

I don't really suspect Sally at this point, mainly because it seems the main point against her is the vote yesterDay, for which I can hardly cast stones.

x/d with Lal

[Inziladun]

You know what?
I'm not going to hold out to try to save myself.

++Brinn

For being Rikae's Day 1 vote, for getting by since, and because the QT baddies are daring us.

Do the same, vote for someone else, or me,

[Lalaith]

Calling Nogs! Actually I'd like clarification from the Mod on this. What is the QT rule about a split vote? Is it the most recent arrival that has the casting vote?

[satansaloser2005]

Hey, don't lynch your hunter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking at this sallywagon, I'm almost tempted to quote Zil's words about the Huiwagon yesterDay (as in, I don't trust half the people in there).


Btw what I just said about self-exoneration and calculated votes also applies to Eönwë's reaction to me this morning. "I drove the last nail into Huiwolf's coffin, how dare you suspect me?" But you had to vote at a point when your vote would likely be decisive, and if you knew that Mac would come up innocent if lynched, voting Hui was your only viable option. 'looks like it's going to have to be...' = 'I don't like it, but I have no choice'?

Most recent Day-lynched person would decide if they have a tie, so it would be the Wolf. But it could be that they didn't have a tie.

Been wondering whether that remark before was just a remark or how hard you'd go on that. Okay. Now how do we deal with this situation, huh? Well, who are you hunting, or who do you claim you are hunting? Might help to take into account?

Out of curiosity, which ones?

Eönwë and to a lesser degree Greenie. Not sure about the others.

[Thinlómien]

Are you guys really buying Sally's claim?

I absolutely don't. It's a very convenient wolf ploy, given that it will either 1) drag out the real hunter so the wolves don't need to worry about targeting them by accident, 2) go uncontested because I think an actual hunter would consider twice before revealing because it effectively makes their gift useless.

If Sally was the real hunter and thought she's gonna get lynched, wouldn't she let us do it and gun for whoever she thinks is the most suspicious, then let us analyse the bandwagon against known innocent her the Day after? We're not yet at a point where we can't afford lynching an innocent. I'm aware it's a question of playing style and how many risks you want to take, but if I was in Sally's position and the hunter I would never ever reveal.

Yeah, not buying it.


ezit: xed with everyone on this page

Ka, I'm sorry for your loss.

Are they going to do that for the rest of the game? Boring.


I find it hard to reconcile Lottie's backing off of Mac and adding a fourth wheel to the Huiwagon with wolvishness. Also, would Hui have soft-suspected two of his packmates explicitly in connection with each other? I don't think so. I'm still leaning more towards Zil.
