Tol-in-Gaurhoth XX: Wereorc I: The elves cannot hide themselves much longer.

[Findëasëa]

These are not good times for the village. Three wereorcs about, and poor Farael gone? Hmmm…at least I know that I will have something to study in an age or so, although those colors might have interfered with the integrity of the sampling. It can be a tough thing, being a paleoelfrolpologist, especially with us elves being immortal and all. I guess I should just stick with artifacts.

I think that the method proposed in which dreams are not revealed daily would be advantageous. People ought not reveal their dreams, or at least not until much later in the game.

Oh, what a foul way for our brilliant alchemist to pass! Such a brave elf was Farael, always skipping rocks of sodium on ponds just to bring joy to the faces of younger elves. Sure, there were times when the young ones would get too close to the scene, but that is all part of the learning experience. But let me not prate. Though anecdotes flood my head, I shall only say that our dear Farael will be sorely missed.

Concerning the dream, it's difficult to determine what exactly the dreamer should do because the situation is a double-edged sword. As already stated (sorry I'm repeating almost everyone's thoughts), the dreamer may practice discretion and wait until an appropriate time to give away hints (or the entire dream), and may be killed before revealing it...and on the other hand, if the dreamer tells us the dream, s/he will most likely be killed if the dream is incriminating. I know this isn't much help, so I will just say that I agree with Caranlondien in that we should act how we see best fit, given the situation.

Sorry for the tardiness. I have been away from my garden all day and have just returned. Hmmm....poor poor Farael. He rather enjoyed my flowers and used some species in his experiments. I will gather a bouquet straight away and place it beside his head stone after he receives a proper burial.

Dang blasted Wereorcs, wolves etc!! I would like just one time to relocate to a quite village that stays quite--without something or someone turning into a horrid creature*sigh*. Alas, I am here now and will assist the villagers in any way possible in order to rid yet another place of such foul beings.

Now without reiterating every word....I agree that those whom are granted a dream should not reveal the dreamt of. They should use their discretion and reveal only when they think the time is right. I also agree that the Orcs could very well use that to their advantage and clean out the village one by one.

Since it is quite early in Day 1 and it being Day 1, I do not have suspicions as of yet. I will return in about 9 hours and hopefully come up with something. G'Night all.

I am not intenting to push this matter - I remember those Nogrod vs. the rest of the village situations clearly enough...

I just think, that many of you are making hasty judgements on the issue. There is no way that the orcs could benefit from those open revelations, so I think it is more a choice of style to play - or then our advantage - haven't thought about it that much yet.

But really: everytime an orc tries to misuse the dreams, we villagers benefit. Just think my friends. If they don't misuse them, they "use" them (killing the innocent at night), but then again they kill an innocent anyhow, every night.

It's true, that we will lose the possibility of a mass revelation, but then again, mass-revealing could be tricky too - at least if the shaman is dead that time!

Well, this just as food for thought. I'm not sure about this plan myself either, but would like to think it through before tomorrow is at an end.

I'll be joining you in some 4-5 hours time.

Hey guys, I'll be in and out today.

Just wanted to say: Quit obsessing over the dreams already! The village seems to have come to a consensus, and all the people whose idea of helpfulness is to show up and say "I agree" makes me nervous. We are all of us intelligent people, I'm sure we can see when to use the dreams. One aside though...the more we reveal the dreams, the more we narrow down the list for the Orcs of who, precisely, is the Shaman. For this reason it worries me that Nogrod is so fiercely a proponent of a daily reveal.

Let's try to focus on finding an Orc before they squish us all in our beds, shall we? I'd rather prefer the world to end by a cataclysmic earthquake or meteor shower or something, not some smelly old orcs.

Naria, could you explain something for me-

What are you trying to say?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Oh dear me, somebody set us up a bomb! Ahem, well I don't have much time today. But I'll say this- WereOrc Hunting. Serious Business.

My vote on Day 1 shall be random, in fact I think I may go with a safe vote. Hopefully this time round I shan't be lynched/eaten on the first Day/Night. Lets have a good game folks. *Eats an apple.*

I think Naria only said the first quote - the second was Nogrod.
