Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVII: The Saga Continues to Continue quite Continuously - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Meneltarmacil · 02-11-2006, 04:00 PM

After waking up in the morning after the celebration, the villagers noticed that Márcolië Lamen was missing.

The villagers made their way to her house, located next to the Second Official Eighth Day Adventist Temple of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, to look for clues.

“What happened here?” dancing spawn of ungoliant asked as she surveyed the unusual scene before them.

Márcolië Lamen’s remains lay on the floor, along with a great deal of what appeared to be tomato sauce, noodles, and mozzarella cheese strewn all over the place.

“She’s definitely all dead,” malkatoj stated. “Only one thing I can do now.”

While malkatoj was collecting loose change from around the room, the guy who be short found a note on the floor. Formendacil read it to the village.

The first sentence was in Márcolië’s handwriting:

“May the Flying Spaghetti Monster take me in peace.”

The rest of it, however, had been written by someone else.

“Dear Márcolië Lamen,
Thanks for giving us such a great idea.
It was quite tasty.
Yum yum,
-The Wolves
PS: Villagers, you’re still doomed.”

With another Ordinary Villager dead, the villagers started to discuss who they would lynch next.

Living:
mormegil- Elven smith
Garin- Truffle hunter with a half a dozen pigs and no social manners
Nilpaurion Felagund- Escaped thrall from Tol-in-Gaurhoth
dancing spawn of ungoliant- Florist
The Saucepan Man- Earnest and learned young man of the law
malkatoj- Retired Miracle Man (who is not really a man)
Gil-Galad- Shape-Analyst
Glirdan- Crazy guy down the street
Formendacil- Village historian
Kath- Local investigator into the paranormal
the guy who be short- Mermaid-catcher and fisherman

Dead:
Meneltarmacil (Moderator): Speared by wolves on Night 1
AbercrombieOfRohan (Ordinary Villager): Treed and crushed by villagers on Day 1

Wow!! Another shocker! But I must say again that the Wolves are smart. Going after Marcolie (like Aiwendil and Valier) was smart becasue once again, we don't have that many clues leading towards anyone. She was a quiet one until recently. I'm going to go over her posts from yesterDay. I'll have my analysis up shortly.

Marcolie: Posted twice all Day yesterDay and did not vote.

Post 1: Expresses sorrow for Cailin and comments that by giving up her life, she was able to save the Seer one more Day. Says that it is unnerving that Naria did not vote for a known innocent as of yet. Notes that she herself has been rather quiet and sugests that we should vote for those who are really quiet as well. Does short analyses on those who have barely posted who were still alive (herself and Naria included in it). Thinks that Form is perhaps the Cobbler. Suggests that we live Form for now. Finds that Gil is an odd player because we can't really understand him yet trusts him more than Form. Finds that Kath is more of a Wolf than the other two yet won't accuse her becasue she wasn't there to defend herself. Thinks that at least one of the people out of those she listed is Wolf (turns out that she was right on that) and also believes that not all three Wolves would be quiet. Believes that the Wolves would be Naria who is the quiet one (proven), Garin the loud one and not sure who the other would be.

Post 2: This one is plain and simple. Lists who's voted that far into the Day and for whom. Believes we should add one more person to the list and it should be Naria.

Well, from all that, Garin is looking rather guilty now. He's voted for all known innocents which is very incriminating. He is really looking suspicious in my eyes. I believe, if I have to vote early (which I may indeed have to do), my vote will be for him.

Marcolie....

Now why would the wolves kill Marcolie? Quite frankly, I find this an odd choice on the part of the Wolves... Marcolie has, thus far, been a slightly suspicious member of the village. Her name came up a great deal in the last couple days as a potential danger. For the Wolves to kill her suggests that they aren't interested in keeping a lot of suspicious people around- which suggests that the remaining Werewolves are receiving very little attention or suspicion from the village, if they are keen to kill off someone who wasn't threatening anyone vehemently yesterday, and who was a good potential alternative suspect to themselves....

I agree with Glirdan that it was a very smart choice for the Wolves to make, since it leaves only a faint trail. It also makes me think that we should look at a somewhat different list of Villagers today. The people, in fact, who had NOTHING to do with Marcolie.

Also, looking at the list, it seems to me that we are running low on Ordinary, Innocent Villlagers. Only about a third of us are in that category... Interesting, how the Werewolfing trends of late have meant fairly long survival for Gifteds and Werewolves. An an Innocent Villager, that troubles me... as a possible Cursed, it intrigues me...

Formendacil · 02-11-2006, 04:41 PM

Looking back at the opening, rules page, I see that there IS no Cursed... Which is a relief. Apologies for any confusion I may have, inadvertantly, be causing.
