WWJ XII: "Oh the tangled web we weave..." - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Valier · 10-15-2006, 09:56 PM

The fourth night passed with not a sound. Everything was silent. The sun rise was spectacular, as always, but the villagers were dreading this day. What would happen? Who was the Thing? Every villager crept out into the open. What they had all suspected would happen, had. Naria was no where to be seen. Upon entering her herbal shop they noted that all the furniture had been moved against the walls. There in the large cleared space lay Naria. her body positioned perfectly inside a chalk outline that she had obviously drawn herself. "Well isn't that great." remarked Macalaure. The day would be a long and cold one that was for sure.

We win! Now it's certain...either we lynch the thing today, or tomorrow the thing will be one of three villagers, all of whom can be guarded.
So who did you dream about, O gifted ones?

Kitanna · 10-15-2006, 10:59 PM

I dreamt of Gil-Galad and he's innocent.

Macalaure · 10-16-2006, 03:26 AM

I dreamt of Rikae and Volo and there is a connection between the two.

Therefore it's either Menel or Eonwe.

I'm looking forward to some desperate defenses.

If we pick the wrong one today both Menel and Eonwe are dead tomorrow and, as Rikae said, we have three people left who can be a thing. If Kitanna dreams of A, and I dream of the connection between A and B, we can pin it down for certain.

If A is guilty we have it.
If A is innocent and B is different from A, B is guilty.
If A is innocent and B is the same as A, C is guilty.

By the blessings of symbolic logics, we can no longer lose.

Volo · 10-16-2006, 07:15 AM

I'd be happy if this ended here, I'm not sure if I can post after Wednesday... Nothing is going to happen now anyway, thanks to the work of our seer and weaver, we won on day 2.

if i survive to the end, i'm buying you a pizza Kitanna

also, just to note, if we do not catch the thing this day, i might be next to be inhabited seeing how Kitanna's announcement of my innocence might be enough cover to save the thing for awhile. a say these weaknesses mainly to repel the thing from latching on to little ol' moi.

Rikae · 10-16-2006, 11:18 AM

Well, I think Menel is right - it is random, and we've already won in any event. Still, as Volo says, it's more interesting if we have reasons, however pointless it may be.
So I'm waiting to hear them, too.

Volo · 10-16-2006, 01:08 PM

++Eonwe, Menel talks more...

Rikae · 10-16-2006, 02:01 PM

++Eonwe, same reason as Volo.
