Tol-in-Gaurhoth VII (The Saga goes ever on and on)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Morm, if they're both wolves......then gimme a high-five!

But seeing Durelin's last post, and doing a fair bit of scrambling about between the lines, I really don't want to kill her. If Oddwen's innocent then I'll be very sorry and embarrassed and I'll put flowers on her grave every weekend as long as I'm still alive, but right now I'd much rather kill her than Durelin.

[The Only Real Estel]

Lmp: You need not try to 'convince' me of your innocence. I do not think you are guilty, you are mearly on my 'watch list,' which some people are on for different reasons.

Posted by mormegil:

Eomer how you feel about Durelin is how I feel about Oddwen. Kitanna sits about where Oddwen does in my book

And all three of those sit in the exact same spot in my book - they seem to be acting suspiciously, or at least at times, but not quite enough to convince me to vote for them. Still, I can't justify casting another vote at an Oromin of sorts for the second day in a row...I should be posting my vote soon once I've read a bit (& smoked).

edit: Now that tgwbs has rebrought Lhuna to my attention my voting is pretty much split between Lhuna, Durelin, & Oddwen. Voting Durelin or Oddwen would make my vote count more, but it also feels a bit like bandwagoning, because I don't really think either of them are guilty. Voting for Lhuna would be different than voting for an Oromin, because I am rather suspicous of her at the least being the cobbler. Now to choose...

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Ok, I have littlemanpoet to answer to.

You're right sir, I do suspect you in good faith. I am innocent of being a wolf and I believe you are more than slightly likely to be a wolf.

Here's why I (and others) say things like "It looks like so-and-so is going to die today" Assessing the discussion and the suspicion, it's hardly very likely that just anyone is going to die, now is it? When I said that today about Durelin it did appear to me obvious that she was going to get more votes than anyone. Apparently my powers of persuasion are rather brilliant (I'm guilty of that! ) Look, I'm as surprised as anyone that people have started to vote for Oddwen. But if it'll make you happy, then I won't say any such thing from now on. Because anything can happen!

About defending tgwbs, these are my thoughts. I am not so much defending him as I am attacking others. Ok, that is a slight defence of him, but I prefer to put emphasis on the other edge of the knife (that's a rubbish metaphor, so don't bother pointing that out!) If it makes you happy then kill tgwbs. Certainly I'm not sure he's innocent. But he is not near the top of my list.

[The Elf-warrior]

I have been away working. I've caught up on the devopments and I see that everyone I voted for is innocent including Durelin and Oddwen the Ranger was lynched. I think lmp's idea is better than Kath's. Kath might be a wolf.
LDR: Mormegil

Couldn't Oromin have dropped out without claiming to be a cobbler and a wolf? I would say believe her although I don't know exactly what. I'll post more later.

[Encaitare]

I do not know why everyone is casting so much blame on Wilwa; it is certainly unjustified. Kath's list [Kitanna, Wilwa, Elf-warrior] makes me uneasy. If Kitanna is lynched tomorrow and is innocent, I think Kath will be next on my suspect list.

Well Encai pray tell who do you suspect?

[Encaitare]

I do suspect Kitanna. That's not why I don't like the way the list goes. There is someone else I do not suspect, and I don't want to see an innocent's eyes fluttering closed as they hang...

[Lhunardawen]

What a mess this village is becoming. It seems to me its name Loveland is but a mockery.

Before sharing my own thoughts I would like to begin with a defense of myself: I believe the main reason some of you suspected me of wolvery (or cobblery(?)) is my howling. That, I am afraid, is nothing I do of my own consciousness; it is an involuntary action cause by the phases of the moon. I guess you have to pay a visit to your nearest dictionary, and look for the word wrongly spelled lunatic. That should clarify things. mormegil was right in post #173 - you should probably all seek professional help for my unfortunate condition.

Oh big bro, how could you say such a thing and cause me this pain? My weird time zone disables me from seeing enough to make a sensible vote. I am against random lynching, and that is exactly I would have done if I voted. I was well aware of my action's possible consequences, yet I went with it because no name would really come up. In Day 2 at least I had Day 1's voting and the death in Night 2 to help me decide (though now I realize my deduction was wrong).

Oromin is not a wolf. She is playing the cobbler role to a 'T'. Earlier spawn said something about me spending too much time with Nilp. Would you guys have to force me towards such an end as his just to feel the same regret you did after he was lynched?

And another thing, Oromin is doing now more or less the exact same thing Nilp did when he yet lived. There is a slight probability that she is a wolf hiding behind a possible déjà vu. Very more likely she is the cobbler, and mentioned two other names to sound convincingly lupine. In this case I agree with Enca that Oromin is lying in at least one account. Further along the line I can say I agree with Kath that only one of those she mentioned is actually a werewolf: wilwa. So I would suggest that we all keep from lynching Oromin, at least for this Day.

To mention the obvious and the utterly repeated, the following are now most under suspicion: wilwa, Kitanna, and The Elf-warrior.

[Lhunardawen]

It breaks my heart, but what must be done must be done: I am suspecting Eomer of the Rohirrim of lycanthropy.

He alone questioned the suspicion cast upon tgwbs and The Elf-Warrior. At the same time, he seemed to be utterly convinced of Fea's and Nilp's innocence - both of whom turned out to be innocent indeed. Who better to know of the innocence of others than a werewolf?

There is also a scary irony in him being, as he said, "easy to sway" and the powers of persuasion he possesses, though seemingly unbeknownst to him. He alone voted for Oddwen the first Day, then yesterDay he somehow managed to get her lynched.

Now that Oddwen has been mentioned, I am not exactly sure, but it seemed to me that he "waited" for someone to initiate the voting for Oddwen yesterDay. After Kitanna did he cast once again his vote for Oddwen. Now we know bandwagoning is considered a lupine trait...but he was no bandwagoner. It was originally his idea that Oddwen is possibly a werewolf, anyway. Now that Oddwen's innocence has been proven he is pushing Kitanna towards the gallows, as if to say "I am in no way in league with her."

Then there is that reaction of his upon finding out that Oddwen is the Ranger right before she died. The emotion he showed is quite unsettling. He could have been hiding behind a mask of regret.

I would very much like to hear his defense.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I feel uneasy about deciding the next three lynching targets beforehand.

Kitanna didn't defend herself against accusations but made a rather shaky attempt to turn the conversation to Oromin. I got the feeling that Kitanna has accepted her faith to be the next one to go and she doesn't want to blame nor defend anybody because she's afraid that she might give her fellow wolves' identities away. I'm truly sorry about Oromin's RL problems but as I said earlier, I'm not going to vote for her today.

So, you agree that Kitanna is a wolf but you vote for Kath.

OOC: MormIt's the week end, I ;aways wake up late.

IC:

*staggers into village square*

Help ma boab! Dah wulves struck again! D'ish time they took me bold Roger und plain Jane. Me Roger wif his natural, unkontrrollable woot woot was dah prroud papa of me many lambs. Und Jane; seeh arn't much of a lookah, but seeh did give good wool. If d'ish goes on, me be brroke!

I pitah the death of Oddy und I state again I nev'r suspected her, not one bit. Now dat death Headah Durelin, seeh kinda taked too much und made me sus'pis of 'er. Now I canna help but feel guilty dat me posts had somethung to do wif 'er rrevealing 'er trrue idenity. Me be shaameful fur long long time...

Ou' rreseident starr gai'zer LMP had sugessted dat we nominate a leadah to guide us tru' d'ish daarke daz. 'tis could work but me haf me doubts. Haven't we all been sus'pis of people trrying to lead public opinion? Und arn't dat a basis of ou' sus'pis on others? Someone who trries hard to sway opinion und kontrol dah votes? Now we welcome d'ish idea?

We also haf frrom dah Kath a ska... ske.... timetable on who to lay low in dah next cop'l daz. Dat is a bettah idea. If Kath's rite (bey dah way, arre yer a lad or lassie? me canna tell wif all dat hair.) den all'z good. But dah prob' is dah timing; fur ev'rry wulf we slay in dah day, another innocent buys dah big one at nite. In wors' caze, six innocents go by dah end of deh third day.

So me be suggest dah dreaded mass lynching - we take t'ree of dah most fawl dog-faces und we chop off dah heads. One of 'em must be a wulf in disguist. Drrastic times call fur drrastic measures.

Whatcha t'ink?

I would have suggested that myself but I was too afraid of the wrath of our Moddessgoddess. Who are the three that you want to get decapitated (if morm is finally allowed to pursue his profession)? Three lynchings in one day may be a bit too bold but I would settle for two deaths.

[Saurreg]

Well lassie, ++Wilwarin gets me vote. An if we can get a triple tie together wif Elf-warrior und Kitianna den we haf a higher prrob of catching a lycan.

Und- Oooh! Me head! I fe'l dizzy! Somethung's happening! Ayyyeee~~~*

OOC:
I won't be back to cast my vote later
cuz I'm going to town to catch some fireworks.
Hence my vote now.

*~~~ Woooo! Wat was dat? Me fe'ling bettah now. Strrange, me never had dizzy spells before. Must be me worries on dah missing sheep.

Quite suspicious methinks. lmp, why would you target Enca and Wilwa if I turn out to be innocent, which I am by the way?

[Encaitare]

I'm not exactly sure of who to vote for, but I sincerely doubt that Oromin is a wolf. The cobbler, probably, but I don't think she'd ask to get lynched if she were a wolf. Therefore:

++The Elf-warrior

[The Elf-warrior]

All right I'll vote for
++THE ELF-WARRIOR
I hope seeing my untransformed corpse will clear your mind. I am most suspicious of Kath and Lhuna. I don't know if Oromin is a cobbler or a wolf. I am only slightly suspicious of lmp and Saurreg. Encai and Wilwa are almost certainly the shirriffs. TORE, Moregil and Eomer are most probably innocent.

Edit: I crossposted with Kath. I don't really care that I didn't vote according to your plan because for one thing the Modess doesn't like double-lynching. For another I don't know if Oromin is a wolf and you're probably a wolf anyway.

[Saurreg]

Yer a fool laddie, throwing yer life away like dat. u should haf made a deal wif somebody on wo' to lynch aft' yer gone. Dat is prresuming yer innocent.

[Kath]

I was going to suggest a double lynch of Oromin and Elf-Warrior just to make things easier but I'm not sure whether we will be able to make that work. Those who have still to vote are:

Kath
Elf-Warrior
Oromin
Wilwa

Now since I think that the wolves are somewhere in that list (excluding me) I don't know that they will vote in a way to reach a double-lynching.

Right now E-W has 6 votes and Oromin has 2 votes. To achieve this Oromin would have to vote for herself. There might also be a problem with E-W but he is going to die anyway so unless Oromin is also a wolf and he wants to protect her he should also vote for Oromin. Therefore I'm going to ask people to try and make this work.

E-W, Oromin and Wilwa would you plese vote for Oromin.
