Mormegil, would you please elaborate on why I seem suspicious? I'm not a Lover, nor am I a Werething. My experiments, strange as they may seem, have nothing to do with the current situation.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-29-2006, 08:59 AM

Even more important: Could you clean the pavement infront of my house, Mormegil? There is sand all over it!

It is rather troublesome to grow this special fungus in the dessert, luckely we live in an OASIS ! ! ! So it should not be that hard to find some vegitation for your sheeps. . . However if they(or anybody else) touch my fungus, I shall kill them with a spoon!

Of course I am brilliant and could grow thousands of Fungi, but I like to dedicate all my time to this particular one. I shall call it Fenris !

sshhh, the oliphaunts are restless
this is most sad and fearsome. who could do such a thing and why would anyone love them? to begin somewhere, let's take a look at the obvious:

most suspicious these four persons need death
Menel - Mad Scientist =need of body parts
Durelin - Lead Tragic Actor =there needs to be tragedy
Rune - Humungous Fungus Grower =most fungi need some sort of decay to grow
Mac - Builder of Gibbets, unemployed for millennia =needs murder to have a criminal to hang, perhaps tired of being unemployed

least suspicious these persons need live ones to make (or in the case of arcticstorm get) money from
Kitanna - One Legged Chambermaid
Nogrod - a Smith of the Billmarins
arcticstorm - Raving Alcoholic and Resident Moocher
Morm - City Street Cleaner
Naria - Lemba Baker
Fintaeph - Mutton Herder and Purveyor of Fine-Quality Undead Prosthetic Limbs

middle suspicious these people could care less whether we are here or not-could be scary depending on how one looks at their situation
Kath - Flower Girl
JennyHallu - Countess
Valier - Arranger
Lhuna - Beautiful Girl with Sleeping Sickness
Farael - Patient suffering from Mad Elf Disease
Rikae - Contortionist
Lommy-ostrich chaser

as time goes by and how things turn out, i'm sure i will be revising my lists.
now to try and coax out of the oliphaunts what they saw

Farael · 10-29-2006, 01:02 PM

One would say "Ohh Lhuna has voted against him, he's sure to retaliate" and then condemn me for trying to distance me from her, which is surely a lovers tactic. But on the other hand, if I go out and claim that she is innocent, I'll be accused of being her lover. Thus, I'll just say this.

Lhuna, day 1's are random, but that excuse will not serve you tomorrow. Pray to Eru you are not a were-creature because my eye is on you. I shall comb through your every word and if anything were to even as much as seem were-creatureish I shall lynch you myself.

But there is a bigger bone to gnaw at it today.... read this.

I should be glad I'm in the "middle suspicious" category, but what the Morgoth??? Half of us have not even uttered a sound and she's already separating us into categories?

"Divide and Conquer"

I SAY Holbytlass is a were-creature, or one of their nasty helpers!! I shall vote for her unless something changes my mind. Which would not be unheard of in day 1, but I have a hunch... and my hunches are usually good.

Thinlómien · 10-29-2006, 01:38 PM

Naria, I agree with you. Mac's a bit weird. I mean, his whole post is from a werecreature's/lover's point of view, and that indeed is enough to make me wary.

Maybe it's a bit early to say, but I think Naria is probably a good guy or then she is a bluffing evil creature; last time she was evil she returned to her earlier gameplay tactics and slipped under the radar. Why wouldn't she do that now too if she had evil intentions? I can see only advantages for an evil Naria in slipping under the radar early on. (Of course we it would be too short-sighted to discount the possibility of an evil bluffer-Naria though...

)

Holby, why am I not in any of your categories, might I ask? Not that I wanted to be in one, but I surely wonder why am I ignored...

oh dear, my apologies. too much cutting and pasting, now we might be accused of being lovers

Lommy-ostrich chaser goes in the middle suspicios category.

went back and checked, did not miss anyone else

Fintaeph · 10-29-2006, 01:55 PM

Some things I'm thinking about while considering what to do about this tragedy:
1) there are 10 of us and 8 of them; therefore a random guess has a better chance of killing a friend than an enemy;
2) each pair has a 6 in 16 (37.5%) chance of killing another pair tonight; therefore, by tomorrow morning, assuming one of the pairs isn't lynched today, and they randomly pick their victims, 1 or even 2 pairs of the pairs should be dead by their own fangs;
3) with numbers this small, reality won't follow probabilities very closely.

Given all of this, I don't know what to do but bar myself in my barn with my sheep and hope to find my courage and a large weapon by tonight.

Ohhh yes you will... isn't it convenient? one "forgets" to add the other on her list and the other asks to be on the list and gets included. They couldn't be lovers, could they?

Well, I say they can and they are! it's too innocent a behaviour, why would Loomy WANT to be on a list? it's just too dangerous. If, as I suspect, Holby is found a werecreature or a lover, that list will probably be analyzed and picked appart. If I had been left out by accident, I would much rather have preferred NOT to bring that up!

And Rune, what I see or don't see you'll never know unless I tell you. She's suspicious though, and those of you who know my playing style should do well in listening to me. It has been proven perilous for the ordos to ignore me.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-29-2006, 01:40 PM

Are completely unable to see the humoure in Hoblytlas's post? I found it a good read. .

Vote for her if you like, she is a good a lynch candidate as anyone else at this point, but don't try to justify your vote like that.

and btw I would not think you were Lhuna's love just because you did not retaliate. I my self have often defended Lhuna.
