WW XXIIX - Queer Lodgings - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 01-09-2007, 09:10 AM

I might go for Kathin, Glóanna or Eomi. I have started getting some doubts on Glóanna's guilt even though I think Dori88 had a point in his post about voting the one that looks and acts like a wolf. And Eomi is hard as there is so little to take grip of (and maybe that's just the reason why he should be lynched?).

TIME-CHECK EDIT: showing 5 minutes too early in the thread compared to my PC...

Nogrod · 01-09-2007, 09:15 AM

Ten minutes...

Anyone for Eomi or do we choose from Glóanna and Kathin? Other good last minute ideas?

Volo · 01-09-2007, 09:17 AM

Hmph, our wizard lady didn't make too much sense...

Why would she be frequent to read and not even vote, this might be a small matter on day1, but I don't like it...

Ah, I'll five the flower to ++Eomi...

Nogrod · 01-09-2007, 09:21 AM

You ladies decide then...

++ Eomi

Making:
Glóanna 2
Eomi 2
Kathin1

PS. Beornómien: Let's not make this a tie on two...

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 01-09-2007, 09:22 AM

You know what, anything's still possible, so to keep the options open (and because I suspect him, duh) I'll go with

++Eomi

Good Night.

Thinlómien · 01-09-2007, 09:19 AM

Has Moddwen specified what happens if there's a tie? Is the first one to have reached the most votes killed? Or is Moddwen choosing it at random?

I don't like this throwing votes at all directions, though it doesn't matter so much this late anymore. In case the death is to be chosen randomly, I'd rather not have a host of people with two votes, especially not if the host includes such persons as spawn, who is very helpful and by no means (in my opinion) very suspicious.

I agree with you. It isn't generally too bad, but that thing she says about me really worries me.

I'm quite at loss. Kathin and Glóanna don't seem as suspicious to me as they seemed before (though I still think they're both a bit suspicious), but I don't particularly suspect anyone else either.

Thinlómien · 01-09-2007, 09:21 AM

Argh, I don't know what to do. I could vote any of the three: Eomi, Kathin or Gloanna.

Thinlómien · 01-09-2007, 09:22 AM

Well, then: Glóanna has contributed more than Eomi.

++Eomi

edit: xed with spawn
Let's hope he's a wolf then!

Nogrod · 01-09-2007, 09:23 AM

Go for someone to possibly gather more than two (Spawn and Durin have two also...).

EDIT: X'd with the votes...

Anguirel · 01-09-2007, 09:26 AM

I wonder what Voloin's trying to tell us with the flower motif. Just a mysterious running gag?

When is our official deadline, I wonder? No doubt I'll be castigated for not being on the ball again, oh dear...

How on earth did Dwalin get two votes? I agree with the skinchanger; baffling and worrying...

Anguirel · 01-09-2007, 09:27 AM

Missed the votes. Not the decision I'd've made. Kili is a sad loss to our communal wit.

Volo · 01-09-2007, 09:24 AM

Well, I feel like you Finns can be trusted, do as you see right. I'd suggest Eomi or Gloanna, Balth just doesn't feel as confusing and might be of more help...

Oddwen · 01-09-2007, 09:48 AM

The first day of their quarantine was awkward, as most first days are. Brother turned against brother, sister against sister, sister against brother, brother against sister, dwarf against hobbit, hobbit against dwarf, dwarf against wizard, wizard against hobbit, hobbit against wizard, wizard against dwarf, and the skinchanger accidentally accused herself in the confusion.

In the end, it was decided that a dwarf should die; Eomi, brother of Nari, kinsman of Thorin Anguirelshield.

"But I don't want to die," he protested.

"But you have to," the others told him. "It's The Rules."

"Sister, would you let me die?" he pleaded with Nari.

"Yes," she said. "I have to."

"Fear not kinsman," consoled Thorin. "I shall not let a son of my brother die by any lesser hand."

So saying, they knelt him onto a stump-seat for beheading.

Thorin lifted his gigantic magnificent axe, and with a cry of "Khazad ai menû!" let it fall against Eomi's hairy neck. His head, by some chance, did not roll or lay facedown, but stood upright blinking surprisedly and looking about it.

"Eww!" said some. "Cool!" said others. Some ran outside to be sick.

"If I had use of my arms," the head mouthed. "I'd flip you off." Then the eyes closed for the last time, and stood still.

Nothing happened.

Nothing happened again.

Nothing continued to happen.

"Well," said the dwarves furiously. "Now there's one less dwarf around!"

They buried Eomi under some very pretty looking striped rock that they found nearby, and his grave stood there for some ages, until the breaking of the world.

Oddwen · 01-10-2007, 08:50 AM

They awoke next morning early and looked around fearfully. What had the Wolves been up to in the night?

They discovered their answer in the beheaded body of dwancing spawn of fundin. Nari screamed and threw herself upon the body.

"No no no!" she cried. "No! O dwancing, my sister!"

"But," they all muttered. "Shouldn't she be mourning her brother, Eomi?"

But no, Nari kept cradling the headless body of dwancing, and sobbing. Suddenly, she stood up.

"Without my sister," she said. "What else is there?" She drew her axe out of her belt, and threw herself onto it. They all jumped too late to save her, and she smiled as she drew her last breath.

"Drat it all," muttered Valier the Grey. "Now we've lost our decidedly sherriff-like twins. We must do something about catching a wolf."

They buried dwancing and Nari under the same cairn, and started deliberating.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-10-2007, 09:30 AM

I see that I made a mistake, I thought Thorin said he would probably vote Durelin not Durin and therefor was convinced that the votes would be spread even more. Which they were, but for different reasons.

Nogrod is starting to puzzle me. . .He questions why I point out Menel as innocent and not anybody else. Is it not clear, Menel was the only one I could really relate to. Other people might say things that makes sense, but what Menel said was something that made sense and very like my own thoughts and way of reasoning.

Then there is the whole voting Eomi thing, seriously that was weird. Nogrod pays absolutely no attention to Eomi, until after I mention him and Eomi him self post again.

Somewhat true, but it is always easier to claim things wolfish on day 1. The following days there will be certain actions that can talk against one being a wolf. And I am sorry to say this, but I am a firm believer that in most cases it is chance when a wolf is caught. I have often heard tales of wolves being lynched for doing the exact same as an Innocent would have done.

Then I guess I am used to not relate to what Nogrod says at all and now it seem that he is suspecting the same people as me. . .I my self was uneasy about Eomi, but decided that I wanted to wait with lynching him.
