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

Grendelien · 04-19-2006, 05:48 PM

I was suspicious of Naria before she revealed Nogrod's innocence, and upon revealing his identity I thought her revelation could be a diversion. However, I began to wonder why, if she were an orc, she would reveal the identity of someone who was under much suspicion himself. It could be that she was protecting the identity of a fellow orc, but I find this highly unlikely. I tend to believe now that Nogrod is innocent. If Naria is an orc, I find it unlikely that she would reveal the identity of an innocent (Nogrod) when he was under suspicion. However, Naria could want to gain some points with innocent villagers. I'll have to think about this more. My suspicion of her has been lowered a bit, so I won't be voting for her tonight.

The points brought up about Celuien in the analyses of her were very interesting. I too must admit that her change in tone is suspicious, but I dont want to vote for her tonight when she's not here to defend herself.

I'm unsure of Findeasea's and Caranlondien's innocence, so I won't vote for them tonight. My suspicion of Roa has not changed, so I am inclined to believe she may be an orc.

1. Findeasea --> Roa (Roa 1)
2. Sleepy --> Findeasea (Roa 1, Findeasea 1)
3. Celuien --> Roa (Roa 2, Findeasea 1)
4. Caran --> Roa (Roa 3, Findeasea 1)
5. Roa --> Findeasea (Roa 3, Findeasea 2)
6. Naria --> Findeasea (Roa 3, Findeasea 3)
7. Zali --> Naria (Roa 3, Findeasea 3, Naria 1)
8. Nogord --> Findeasea (Roa 3, Findeasea 4, Naria 1)
9. Grendelien --> Roa (Roa 4, Findeasea 4, Naria 1)

What happens in a tie?

The bold in my last post is the reason, why I was so mad at my computer just jamming-jamming-jamming...

I believe, there is another explanation to Jenny's list - and this "deep knowledge" was just unnatural... My reasons for my vote.

Roa_Aoife · 04-19-2006, 06:00 PM

I don't thin kit was your computer- for about 10 minutes I couldn't reach the Down's either. The site also went down earlier today. Probably server troubles.

Celuien · 04-19-2006, 06:05 PM

I'm sorry - I've been pressed for time these last few days. And shifting the end of the day later hasn't helped me any.

I'm not an Orc. Please believe me, and try to see what I've been trying to do since Sleepy gave me an opening by declaring me the Shaman. It's for the village's good. Don't really care if it gets me lynched tomorrow, since my more important purpose will have been acheived by then.

Further explanations will have to wait until tomorrow, since I'm probably already risking a crosspost with Farael.

Farael · 04-19-2006, 09:45 PM

As the day wound down, it was time to cast their votes yet again.

Celuien: There is so few of us left… what if we get the wrong person, again?

Nogrod: Fear not, for I am convinced that Findeasea is an orc!

Findeasea: No I’m not

SleepyRanger: That is EXACTLY what an orc would say!

Grendelien: Keep in mind that it’s also what an innocent would say

Azaelia: Wait!! I think Naria is a wereorc!

Caran: What do you know? I think Roa is a wolf!

Nogrod: Orc

Caran Orc, yes.

In the end, it was decided that Findeasea would be lynched by a small margin. No, it’s not a grammatical error, by a small margin it was decided that Findeasea would be lynched using a terrible torturing device. The small margin.

How this machine worked is so terrible and gruesome that no exact records are kept, but this is what modern paleoelfropologists have been able to determine.

The soon to be lynched individual was put into a box. Not just any box, as this box had tiny little slits through which only something as thin as a sheet of paper would be able to pass through. And that is exactly how it worked. The poor victim was kept there as the villagers angrily ran just about any paper they could find through the slits, causing an unfathomable amount of papercuts. This proved fatal after only a few hours, yet by that time about half of the margins of all the papers would be coated in blood. Hence, the “small margin” name.

In any case, Findeasea was put into the small margin and the villagers took to their task. After many a books had been spent, the trashing and screaming stopped from within the box. Caranlondien opened it and her face went pale. “Findeasea” was just an innocent, like any other of us”. She said.

The villagers found the way to their respective homes and locked themselves in for the night.

There are still 2 wereorcs, a Ranger and a Shaman living.
Now living:
Caranlondien: aspiring harpist
Nogrod: unemployed barber.
Grendelien: village whittler
Celuien:lampwright
Zali: stringer-of-bows
Naria:The grower of magnificent flowers
Sleepy A barrel of apples
Roa_Aoife aspiring ballad writer

Now dead:
FaraelMod: He dyed… erm I mean died.
GlirdanRepentant werewolf : Choked on an apple. No wonder why werewolves are carnivores.
JennyHalluWereorc: Escaped the village, but could not escape the laws of physics.
Dancing Spawn...: Just a merchant: Trapped on a deathly spider’s web.
Kitanna:The town's gate-keeper: Had a lobotomy performed by an angry woodpecker.
Legolas in spandex: Legolass (A movie-Legolas impersonator): Overwhelmed and or frightened into leaving the village after seeing what had happened to Kitanna
Diamond: Simply a normal, very bad stone cutter - scared to death by orcs
Findëasëa: paleo-elf-tropologist: Lynched by a small margin.

Farael · 04-20-2006, 03:30 PM

...but I have all the PM's in already and so I will post them here as it's unlikely I'll be here for the end of the day in an hour and a half. Please, don't post until then.

No one has died tonight (yaye villagers!!!)

Farael · 04-19-2006, 06:02 PM

Alright, time is up... as Findeasea was the first to reach the fourth vote, she will be the lynchee

And you know what? shes just a poor ordo. Sorry, Findeasea you had a good game =)

Narration coming up in a bit.
