Tol-In-Gauroth XXIV: Battle of the Band[Wagon]

[Eonwe]

Well, I dunno. I'm suffering from a bad case of first-day blahs. Either that, or I'm too dang open-minded about people's posting. I really need to work on being more judgmental if I'm ever to succeed at WereWolf.

I guess I'm thinking about four options.

1) Vote at random. (I've done this before, and it hasn't been very appreciated...)
2) Not vote. (see above, lol)
3) Vote to help Folwren. (really amounts to a random vote, just a bit more ... not random)
4) Vote randomly in the list of already voted for.

So I guess I'm down to a random vote, eh? ...meh...

Well hows this, I'll randomly choose from the numbers, and then follow that plan?

By the way Diamond, we have till 1 pm today. Remember Sleepy said it will end at 1 pm today.

Aye, aye, that's right. So, there's still approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes remaining.

Boromir, thanks.

[Eonwe]

Fine I'm gonna vote for the 9th person on Sleepy's list.

Sorry Nogrod...

++Nogrod

Now, I've got to go do some integration by parts....

Edit: Sir Eonwe...I like that... jk

[Nogrod]

Well, uh-uh... lots of things happening around here.

First of all I shall honour the ways of my forefathers and supply the situation.

The Ka 1 (Durelin I)
Durelin 1 (Glirdan II)
Volo 2 (Ka III, Celuien VI)
Folwren 2 (Lommy IV, Menel IX)
Macalaure 2 (Rune V, Boro VII)
Nogrod 1 (Eonwe VIII)

Five votes left, if I'm correct.

I'll go reading the stuff again...

[Nogrod]

The top three of the votes aligns with my suspicions, so I'll try to look at those people first.

Volo I'm a bit aware of, as his "defence" of himself seemed like trying to be useful without actually doing anything (making the scanty summary of the posts so far) and that has been considered quite wolvish, with a reason I daresay. But then again, he acted pretty "shady and suspicious" as Boro named it, already in his first game before this.

Mac surely looked suspicious in his first post but has come more like himself after it. Although I'm still not wholly convinced with his defences either. But with the same breath I must say that lynching an innocent Mac would be a bad thing indeed...

Folwren looks pretty suspicious. I would just like to add to the previous comments the following. Folwren seems to be one of those most lovable and nice Downers there ever is and so it might be quite a burden for her to play the Baddie... kind of leading to being overtly careful and almost apologetic?

PS. I think I have a different understanding of what counts as aggressive behaviour with Lommy and Di.

[Volo]

"Hard not to be friendly when I have always imagined myself as a friendly guy... But ok, I'll tell you what I think:

Menelteramacil: I find him an innocent, he has told his mind, even if the first post was rather strange to me, but maybe I understood it wrong. He hasn't made any great inventions (or I'm too blind to see them) but I agree with him about Celuien and Folwren. I feel safe about him.

Glirdan: Not much reason in his vote, but I too find Durelin's actions strange. I won't be voting him now.

Macalaure: I don't see the point you are making against him. Ok, he did agree really openly, but still... I find him rather innocent.

Diamond18: I don't see much great sence in her talk, (just like I don't in my own) but she hasn't been overlyanything. Maybe she just has a slow start (like I want to think of myself).

THE Ka: Here is one more person that hasn't contributed much. I find her vote rather strange (well sure, she's voting for me...), yes I was in a mood when I wanted to say something not saying anything bright. I don't find her too wolfish either.

Thinlomien: She has been active and found a weakness in Folwren that now I see quite clearly. I think of her as innocent.

Celuien: Now here is a strange one. She hasn't said anything good today, or then I'm too blind to see. She might be a wolf but today we can't vote her out really can we?

Eonwe: I'm finding her random accusations strange. She has said many things, but I see reason in only few of then. Again, I think I might have voted her if there had been more chance of lynching her.

Nogrod: I think he is innocent or he really changed his strategy from the last game.

Durelin: Strange vote, nothing more really. I can't see as innocent or wolf now.

Boromir88: Just like some of you have said he has been talking sence.

Folwren: Now here is the strange one, hasn't really said much except for own defence. I'll vote her...

Rune: RL problems, hasn't said much, but doesn't seem wolfish...

Well, here's this, ++Folwren. I'll just trust Lommy's reasoning. She is overly defensive. I hope I'll have more time to think tomorrow. Little time today because of certain things.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Alright everyone, stop posting. Death shall be up shortly. ie; After I finish dinner.

[Sleepy Ranger]

The musicians gathered around and formed a circle around Volo, the one they had chosen for death this day. As this was a musical fest he was permitted to play a final song. The musician grinned and lifted his guitar beginning to strum, a phantom band began to back him up. His grin widened as he began to play 'We Damn The Night'.

Blood on my pillow
Blood on my skin
Am I going mad
Or was this a dream?
There in the depth
The hollow souls wait
Voices surround me
Tempting my fate
Then out of nowhere
Figures in dark
Guarding my soul in the fight

We are strong we're alive
We have faith in his might
We believe in the everlasting plight
Anytime, anywhere we will always be there
We will fight for what's ours and what's right
We damn the night

Volo's grin had turned to a wicked and twisted smirk now. An evil look embraced his face, an evil aura touched his skin. He began to transform into a hideous and large creature. He snarled at the rest and continued the song, the phantom band playing to perfection.

Out in the blackness
Shivering cold
Doubt takes on shape
Fear the unknown
Eyes of the fallen
Piercing their glance
Whispers of doom
Left without chance
Then out of nowhere
Figures in dark
Shield my soul in the fight

We are strong we're alive
We have faith in his might
We believe in the everlasting plight
Anytime, anywhere we will always be there
We will fight for what's ours and what's right
We damn the night

We damn the night...

He dropped his guitar as the song ended and dropped to all fours. He arched his back and prepared to spring at the unprepared stars but instead he jumped over them. "He's getting away! After him!" Shouted out Celuien who was the first to comprehend the situation. The thirteen ran after him, all the while trying to think of a way to be rid of the beast but alas, he was too fast for them. It seemed he would get away. That would be terrible. Just terrible.

The beast reached the edge of the valley and turned around. The rest, still a considerable distance away, halted. Volo raised himself, standing on just two legs. He was easily two feet taller than the tallest amongst them. They cowered back as the wolf let out a blood curling howl, which faintly resembled an evil laugh. "Happy Helloween!" He snarled out and sprang away, jumping out of the valley.

He thought he would get away, the musicians thought he would get away but no! He froze in mid air. The magic barrier set up by the trio seemed to work on them too. His expression changed to one of twisted agon as he transformed back to his human self. Blood began to blot just under his skin as he stayed there frozen in mid air as the rest watched on horrified.

Everyone watching knew Volo would not survive this but nobody had expected what happened to have. He popped. Simple as that. He did not explode, he did not drop dead he simply popped. Blood, body parts and organs splattered everywhere but nobody was sure how it happened. He just seemed to take in a deep breath and *pop*, he was all over them in bits and pieces. The musicians, covered in blood (and an unlucky few had an arm or foot on them) smiled at each other. Luck had favored them.

As the survivors retreated to the Snowy Wolf Tavern a figure hidden in the shadows watched them. They had done well but in the end there could be just one winner. 'Greatest' was not something that could be shared. "Good night. Sleep well. Tomorrow will be another day and for better or worse, one of you may not be there to see it." The figure waited till they were all inside and then made his way to his hiding place under the shell.

Ah. Thanks... I didn't notice that actually. Probably because it wasn't all in caps and flashing at me.

I'm not sure if I'll last the extra hour, however, as I'm extremely tired and should be heading to bed. We'll see. I've read over the thread again and found myself flip-flopping with every post... I believe I managed to condemn and excuse just about everyone and wound up with no solid suspects. I'm really tempted to vote for Rune because he's said the least. But seeing as he was called away by RL these seems like a cheap shot. I don't know. I'm tired. I'll think some more.

[Macalaure]

I'm at a complete loss about whom to vote for.

The ones I feel innocent right now are Menel, Thinlómien and Folwren. Folwren has attracted some suspicions, but I don't understand them. No wolf would be so extremely insecure on the first post of the first day to say what she said. Defensiveness alone is no reason for suspicion to me.

I have no idea about: Boromir, Glirdan (he's like he always is, to me), Celuien, Durelin (she's been weird, but we'll see tomorrow), Rune, Ka, Nogrod, Eonwe and Diamond.
That's a horribly long list...

The only one about which I am suspicious to a ridiculously small degree is Volo, because his summary doesn't sit well with me.

[Diamond18]

Okay. I'm not going to make it. Seeing as no one's posted to make things lively in the last ten minutes, I'm falling asleep at the keyboard. I am most suspicious of Mac but really hesitant to vote for him, since I feel more like keeping an eye out than kicking him out of the game. Mainly, I wouldn't find what he said at all suspicious if I didn't remember him exhibiting more enthusiasm over day 1's before, or at least my swiss cheese memory gives me that impression. Folwren, the more I read her posts, seems more ballistic in her defense. Yet I'm equally hesitant to off her.

++Rune

He was quiet and, I feel, fairly hard to get a read on even before he left early, so of all the posters I feel the least "bad" about sending him out of the game. But then, he's not likely to get enough votes to leave, so, there's really nothing to feel bad about. Ha. Yeah, I'm leaving it to the others to break the Volo/Folwren/Mac tie. I'm evil that way. Also had to just think really hard to remember the names, so I really should go. Now.

edit: Xposted with Mac and Nogrod. I don't understand your PS, Noggie.

As I said, all my previous Day 1s were pretty eventful. I had no reason to complain.

[Nogrod]

I've been rethinking Folwren for a while now. This is just drawing me crazy! I'm just quite out of any reasonable ideas here. Somehow her posts cry out wolvishness and then again no. I mean Mac had a point in saying that no wolf would show forwards such an extreme insecurity. What I mean: being a wolf and feeling insecure with the first post of the game, the most reasonable idea is not to make that first post in the first place! This somehow speaks in Folwren's favor...
