That thought did occur but it is so hard to tell seeing as we are all dead on the downs anyway... I could just be pottering around wondering about the rumours of lycanthropy in the village ....... however if I am the corpse and you know I am the corpse that must mean eeeeeeeeeeek!!!!

Careless talk costs lives Anguirel...

Innocent, guv'nor

I don't have a tail. Honest. It's just, ah, very hot, and I'm wearing my best fur coat...

A likely story... furs in May tsk tsk..... how do you feel about full moons... ?

However if there isn't a corpse...where is the justification for the lynching? Or do we assume a 13th NPC villager?

And is ther any significance that today is Friday the Thirteenth?

It's just too early for the Barrow-Wight to come and announce if there's a kill, I think, as it's something like 7:00 AM EST. Let's be patient...the events of the night will be the talk of the village square all too soon...

The Eye Day 1

Alarm! A horrible discovery awaits the villagers as they awake. A trail of blood and gore leads to a corpse so badly mangled that it is almost impossible to identify. Only when someone recognizes the dead parrot beside the body does the crowd realize who has been slain - Shelob!

Perhaps she's only stunned. No, she's not stunned'! She's passed on! Shelob is no more! She has ceased to be! She's expired and gone to meet 'er maker! She's a stiff! Bereft of life, she rests in peace! 'Er metabolic processes are now 'istory! She's off the twig! She's kicked the bucket, She's shuffled off 'er mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-SHELOB!!

How terrible for poor Shelob , but life goes on for the rest of you. All players now have until 6AM tomorrow (14 May) to discuss publicly (here on this thread) suspicions and ideas, and to cast a bold vote for who will be hanged. There are 11 players remaining, so 6 votes = automatic lynching. You may change your vote anytime before a majority is reached, but once I count 6 for one person, it's all over!

Let the fun begin!

  • mormegil
  • The Saucepan Man
  • the phantom
  • Primrose Bolger

Dead

Score
Werewolves: 3
Villagers: 8



NOTICE: Though the DAY/NIGHT cyles may change at 0600, I am unlikely to be functional until 0700 or 0800 on my best days. Please be patient. It often takes a while for my morning miruvor to kick in. Thanks. ~BW~

The Saucepan Mandid it! I swear, I heard pots clanging around last night. I was simply minding my own business, dreaming away the night, and wishing that I had a nice big pot of tea to wake up to, and what do I hear but clanging and banging! I swear it! Let's burn 'im! I'll bet he even weighs the same as a duck! Come on all and let's get lynching!

A reminder: You can discuss people and mention their names all DAY, but when I see a name in bold , that's a vote. Just checking to make sure you all understand this.

Question Whodunnit?

Hmmm. The question has to be asked, who among us is famous for molesting innocent spider-things? bilbo_baggins comes to mind. I'm not formally accusing him, just declaring a very slight suspicion.

But the Saucepan Man could be quite near the truth, as well. If Feanor heard pots in the night...I always knew his eyes were somewhat close together...certainly, he will have to have a convincing alibi...
