WWJ XI: When World's Collide - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Macalaure · 09-07-2006, 01:03 PM

"I like the two new suspects that have just been brought up." Macalaure said in pondering, "Both Diamond and Valier have not contributed very much to the actual discussion. Both already voted for non-existant reasons. Yet it makes me much more suspicious of Di. I can't imagine both are wolves, because a wolf-on-wolf vote at this point of time would be dangerous. And why would a wolf make a vote for no reason just after Boro told everybody that this is what he will be looking for? As a wolf, I wouldn't."

He breathed deeply, satisfied with his 'profound' 'analysis'.

Then he added, with the tongue in his cheek: "Of course, as an innocent I wouldn't, too, but we're speaking of Valier here. Still, my lore-papyrus tells me to be ever wary of her."

After these words in a sudden the dark Easterling returned in him and with scorn he turned over to Meneltarmacil. "You deem me more suspicious than Boromir? Since when is agreeing to a statement less suspicious than working it out? And did you not see that Nogrod and I cross-er..-spoke? (Probably you didn't, since I didn't add it - my bad) And why do I incriminate myself with my own statements? I only said that I don't say Naria and Lommy are necessarily innocent, and with the best of my knowledge I cannot say any more than that. Your earlier statement was "Lommy suspects Naria for a bad reason. Let's kill Lommy. If she's innocent then let us kill Naria instead." Those are not the same. How exactly should I cover my track with the statement to not yet know? I think I can by now say

++Meneltarmacil

with all good conscience."

Macalaure · 09-07-2006, 01:08 PM

As his wrath vanished, Macalaure found his own words to have been too harsh. He walked over to Menel and sat beside him, soothingly speaking to him.

"See, Menel, you're not a bad guy. But that thingy you do at night, killing Glirdan and stuff, that's just no good. You're a great pal otherwise. Come on, I'll buy you a pint before we lynch you."

Volo · 09-07-2006, 01:11 PM

"Yea, it's

++Kath!

That rushing just sounds innocent... But really, it's the way of the beast!"
With that Volo stood up, said "High time to rest, I have to be in good health to run away from werewolves. And to drink beer! Anyone can come to my inn, the cellar is open. Just don't enter my room!" and left the inn.

Boromir88 · 09-07-2006, 01:28 PM

"Actually Menel, I had began suspecting you in post 133 at 8:48 this morning, and asked some questions, which you felt like you didn't need to reply to. Not answering the questions, doesn't make you look suspicious to me, but it was me who first began to question your intent, if I may say so Mr. ranger sir." Boromir replied.

Boromir then addressed the rest of the Village. "If my records are correct, we have a few hours left of voting and so far it stands like this:

Thinlomien for Naria (1)
Gil-Galad for Valier (1)
Diamond for Nogrod (1)
Kath for Valesse (1)
Valier for Diamond (1)
Mac for Meneltarmacil (1)
Volo for Kath (1)

With myself, Sleepy Ranger, JennyHallu, Naria, Nogrod, Meneltarmacil, and Valesse left to vote."

wilwarin538 · 09-07-2006, 01:29 PM

Wilwa scurried about, giving water and dry toast to Diamond, telling all those who just arrived what they had missed, giving a pint to Nogrod. For such a sad day it was very busy.

When Volo tried to suggest hanging Wilwa, she refused to give him anything todrink and thought to herself, I know more then they do, and they know that. They can't lynch me.

She walked back behind the bar as the day started to come to an end.

(2 and a half hours left in the Day)

Nogrod · 09-07-2006, 01:38 PM

"You're right, Boro-man! Spreading too much is not the way to make things work." Nogrod answered the Dale-man.

"So now it's only a question of whether we wish to go for someone who's trying to slip under radar or someone who tries to make him/herself heard? Somehow I feel sorry for all those who get nailed innocent after trying to stir discussion on Day1. It's so bad. But there is a wealth of one-liner people here from whom it's hard to pick up the hiding wolf... So Menel or one of the ones in hiding"

Nogrod looked around the bar, now clearly more on top of things he had been the whole day. Vomiting always purifies the body, he thought to himself and tried to catch any signs of fright in any one's expression.

Sleepy Ranger · 09-07-2006, 01:45 PM

"It is time I reckon." Said the rather distracted ranger as he got to his feet. "Going by what exile has taught me I silently observe and make my own conclusions and decisions. Once I know, I speak. Obviously I know nothing at this point." Sleepy smiled a bit. Maybe a memory from an old day or maybe something else but either way it was probably irrelevant to the situation at hand.

"I reckon

++Macalaure

is one of the three we're after. Why? Well probably because of the way he has been. Mind you, I dislike a fair number here but when it comes to survival... hate is not something you take into account." He nodded at the folk present. "Now if you'd excuse me..."

Boromir88 · 09-07-2006, 02:05 PM

"It's that time for me to return home and make sure all the dead have been behaving nicely, and actually they can be of some good company at times. To me Menel's been the most suspicious looking one all day....so...

++Meneltarmacil

Yes, Miss Wilwa, that is my final answer."

Before leaving the door he turned around, and the rest of the villagers fell silent. "I'll be back to gather the dead...and good night, don't let the bed wolves bite." With that Boromir was gone.

wilwarin538 · 09-07-2006, 02:36 PM

Votes so far:

Naria - 1
Valier - 1
Nogrod - 1
Diamond - 1
Menel - 2
Kath - 1
Maca - 1
Valesse - 1

Now this is making me mad, you shouldn't all vote for the same person, try to spread out your votes more tomorrow.

1 hour and 20 minutes left.

Nogrod · 09-07-2006, 02:43 PM

"Okay, Boro. Tying things up and ending the spread now. It was ridiculous so far, I say. Eight votes for eight different candidates. That's no way to lay pressure on anyone!

And I'm getting a bit weary too...

So let's get rid of Menel toDay. I've suspected him from the beginning and he's the best candidate I can go for.

If he is an innocent, let me say that we look pretty much more closely for people trying to fly under the radar tomorrow. The shady-ones become more dangerous by each day! In the end, the most dangerous wolves are those we do not see..."

With that Nogrod filled his pipe and lit it carefully, looking for Wilwa's reactions to him lighting his pipe of weed in her bar. I need this, what a nerve-wrecking evening... Some soothing from here woman! Sister, you can't deny this?

After a few puffs inhaled passionately he finally came forwards to Wilwa: "Okay, concentrating the vote for a bit here...

++ Meneltarmacil"

With that he staggered out from the bar, puffing his pipe as he went. Oh, my friend-ants! So where do we go now? The doggone Gravel-monster again! We shall outwit him, let's take the route over the grass and leap over his traps, shall we? Yay, brothers you are to me. I and I loves you! Now let's get stoned mates?

Valesse · 09-07-2006, 02:51 PM

Valesse had been making a variety of sounds since Kath the hobbit ran over her roots and through the inn, though most of them were actually a mild entish curse. "These tiny halflings are far too hasty, and not careful at all! Brha-hommm!"

Leaning back over to see inside of the inn, counting the current clients, the fir sighed. "I am displeased with this Naria, who is silent with her fill of flat breads. It is not bold, nor is it compassionate. Though I do consider the fact that we have little evidence at the start of this first day, and that some, as I stated before..."

She blinked, noticing the fireplace. Rustling her branches impressively Valesse carried on her thought: "I find it a shame that not even a breath was raised against our mentioning. Perhaps this... Gil-Galad's flat bread batter is too thick and has impeded her speaking ablities." The Entwife took another moment to think.

"Either way whatever it is I have to say has been mentioned... that is the problem with being cautious. Boromir88 states the blame on careers, and many of us has mentioned silence. Perhaps it is not my Hrrrrmm, what is that human word? Elves and Ents are not hasty enough to use it... 'Hunch', yes, that is the one... I will not act on my 'hunch' but logically, and though it is very grave

++ NARIA

has my vote for tonight. I apologize, warrior, but your apathy and silence sit as with me just as well as axes do."

Thinlómien · 09-11-2006, 07:38 AM

"Oh, excuse and forgive me, Valesse did suspect Menel a bit." (146)

EDIT:xed with Noggie

Thinlómien · 09-11-2006, 07:45 AM

"I can hear the horses neighing! Something horrible must have happened. I must go now!" Thinlómien cried out, bolting up.

"Oh, almost forgot.

++Kath

I did not have time for analysis, but I quickly skimmed rthrough what she had said. For reasoning, see my previous comments about her, I still think the same way. Oh, and I noticed a certain edginess in her responses that worries me."

Thinlómien ran to the door. "Bye, friends and non-friends!" she shouted before disappering.
