It's alive! IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE!

...

Oh, you weren't supposed to see that. Pay no attantion to that hulking figure on the operating table with the bolts sticking out of his neck and all, heh heh.

Anyway, this was quite a tragic occurence, yes indeed. Hmm, but perhaps our little dilemma can be solved by logical reasoning yet. Problem is, we're not going to have much to go on in terms of finding connections with the werecreatures. Connections between one werecreature and one Ordo, certainly, but we've got four teams against us not one.The Seer seems our best chance now.

Anyhow, please don't try to link my rather oddd experiments with animals to these things. Seriously, I'm not trying to make monsters here.

HULKING FIGURE ON TABLE: Uuuuuurrrrggghh...

On second thought...

mormegil · 10-28-2006, 09:12 PM

Okay so who's the moron that signed up for street cleaner in a desert?

Menel, your guilt is a obvious as the talons marks on your back you little bird lover!

Fintaeph · 10-28-2006, 09:59 PM

That's okay, mormegil, I thought to try raising sheep in the desert. #-o

Hmm, maybe they are sandsheep. Oh, I know, mutton jerky! It will be all the rage. Look out, Naria, lembas is on the way out!

Okay, I'll go away now.

Can anyone give me some money? These events are too depressing, I need a drink. Besides, I cannot think clearly in this state of sobrietry. How am I supposed to make any wise decisions without something strong to drink. What? No one will give me any money? I guess I will just go home and go to my still.

Thinlómien · 10-29-2006, 01:14 AM

A tragedy. Two of our little settler community dead and there are surely more victims to come.

Now, to business: I see both our victory and ruin for looking for "pairs". Victory, because surely the werecreatures and their lovers will be defending each others, beacuse otherwise they'll die and lose their chance to win. Ruin, because I fear the whole game might turn to a state where no one dares to speak about who's most probably innocent/ speak out their mind in defense of people who they think innocent, especially if the person is of the another gender. And that won't work either. It will just create paranoia and most probably help the lovers, since they have no need to tell us who they trust because no one other is doing that either.

This game will be an interesting (and a scary) one, because the village is totally in control of six powers (the four lover pairs, the watcher and the ranger). Half of the village controls the fates of the other half (and of each other's.) Actually there's more people with a special role than those without one. That is not a comforting thought. At night, we can lose up to four innocents, or by a tiny good chance, the werecreatures might all destroy each other.

Oh, and we should really watch who enters from the village gates. I don't want any more viggos here!

Lhunardawen · 10-29-2006, 03:54 AM

*yawn*

Was I just dreaming, or was that really Viggo? Because if it was a dream I'll have to surrender to desperate measures and ask to be healed by that mad guy with the dinosaur.

Lommy, dear, you're too much for someone newly woken up. I didn't understand a word of what you just said.

Anyways, I'm in an utter hurry to crawl back to bed, so I'll say this just once. Knowing that crazy Diamond, it'll be best for us not to consider any gender issues in searching out the Lovers. Girl-girl, guy-guy, whatever, if they show the signs then lynch them. Whatever the signs are.

Also, this is almost anybody's game. It is so much easier for the villains to hide, because they don't know each other, and they only know the one they love. So the most anyone at this point can know for certain is that one person is either innocent or a werecreature. And in this game, it's usually easier for villains to know that not everyone else is innocent, because when they know their fellow baddies it is easier to track them.

So, with all that balderdash out of the way, there's really nothing we can do today but throw random accusations and see what happens. Like this. Farael is a Lover, because he is a Mad Elf. And isn't mad the best way to describe someone in love? Also, he's a copycat. A copyCAT. CAT. Uh-oh.

++FARAEL

What do you mean he hasn't posted yet? Bah, I'm too sleepy to change it. Goo--

*drops off with a snore*
