Weres of Eire: Game Thread

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

We have thought long and hard about this. Actually knowing what happened yesterday and last night, and the whole leprechaun business, would be mighty useful; but we have reached these conclusions regardless.

Kath is likely innocent. We'd be very surprised if she wasn't, simply because of her vote for Nogrod. This is even more so if there were only ever 2 wolves, which is a real possibility.

Izzy is also likely innocent. We'd be less surprised if she was wolvish than if Kath was, but nevertheless we find Nogrod's behaviour towards her speaks in her favour.

Which leaves us with the other two, who have been conveniently attacking each other. We see a few scenarios which are possible, so let us guide you through them:

Perhaps: both Rikae and Brinniel are wolves. Rikae is attacking Brinniel with verve, in the hope of establishing her own innocence by slaying her ally. She is throwing in hints that she is a Seer.

Perhaps: Rikae is a remaining wolf, and Brinniel is innocent, then it seems quite certain that either Kath or Izzy has been hiding a furry secret. This would not be a good scenario, because Brinniel is favourite to die today, and the death of an innocent Brinniel would end this village. We find this scenario unlikely, though.

Perhaps: Rikae is indeed a seer, or just a completely accurate villager, and Brinniel is a wolf. Lynching her today is our best option.

When we kill Brinniel, and discover her wolvish ways, what will happen? If the game continues then obviously there remains one wolf. If it is not Rikae then she will be killed, because a wolf must assume that she is indeed a seer. However, if Rikae remains alive, which we believe will happen, the village will have found its last wolf. Which means that Kath and Izzy should unite to kill her.

There is an obvious problem with this, though we believe it may be possible to solve it. If, say, Kath is the last wolf, then she could kill The Warriors of Finn and convince Izzy to help her kill the innocent Rikae. We believe there is a way, which the true seer shall know, to prove her magical ways. Obviously we cannot suggest it; but we hope the seer would know what we refer to.

Lots of scenarios, lots of possible outcomes. Currently, we believe that both Brinniel and Rikae are evil, and we will most likely vote for Brinniel today.

Another point. Notice the posts of today, after the mod threw out the crazy concept of the leprechaun. Rikae made a very single-minded post; Brinniel, who said something about 2 wolf kills, which is at odds with what happened on the first night, did not make much sense, nor did she try to get discussion going. Hers was a mere retort to Rikae. Only Izzy volunteered some notable thoughts on the strange events which had obviously happened.

We need info from the mod. Perhaps this day should be extended, because there are things we should have known about at the start of the day.

If Durelin was a simple Hunter, we doubt that there is also a seer.



The boy looked at each of the ten. Mist began to swirl around one of them, entering the body and glowing for a moment, before settling to normal astonishingly quickly. The boy smiled.

"The land itself has taken a hand, it seems. Well and good. Your task shall be thus; each day, talk amongst yourselves. Gain information. Decide who is to be trusted, and who is not. At the end of the day, I will return, and you will give me a name. That name will be.... removed. But beware! Night brings things best left unmentioned. I fear for you all."



This quotation from the initial game post suggests that there is one gifted. If Durelin was on our side then we lost a gifted. However, if she was some sort of cobbler-hunter hybrid, then we reckon that there were only ever 2 wolves; and the gifted is still among us.

Which obviously suggests a seer-Rikae and a wolf-Brinniel.

So please: what the hell is a leprechaun?

I am a weaver, basically - I can tell whether two people are on the same side or not, but I don't know what side that is.

Brinn and SPaM were not on the same side, but Eolin and Menel were.

As for the question of tomorrow, I can't imagine Shasta would have burdened us with more than three baddies in such a small group. I'm inclined to think that Menel's death was either linked somehow to Duralin (perhaps the leprechaun's kills are delayed?) or some type of assassin among us.

Perhaps Eomer is right and I should extend this day. It was my fault for not getting the narration up. I'm doing that as soon as I finish this post. Please believe me when I say it was no fault of my own, but a medical problem.

PS: I'm all right now .

Edit: Plots are done. Tell me if you think I should extend the Day.

Part of us is trusting Rikae now. If she speaks the truth she knows that we are innocent. Brinniel will obviously die today; but we fear that if Rikae does speak the truth then there is another, quiet, sneaky, tricksy baddie among us. So if there is another wolf after Brinniel, Rikae will be slain tonight; and we will have to decide whom to trust: Kath or Izzy.

We're not sure if there is a need to extend the day, since today's acts seem straight-forward.

If Rikae is lying then she's done a splendid job. But humour us, magical mistress, and reveal yourself properly. You know how to do it right? Tell us: who are you?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Just done a bit of reading. We trust you Rikae.

My suspicions remain from yesterDay and Rikae's revelation only cements them. It is entirely possible of course that Rikae is playing a blinder of a game and is completely evil, but I'm willing to put my trust in her toDay.

It would completely suck though if Rikae and Eolin turn out to be the evil ones and are currently playing us all for fools.

Oh, and I'm sorry for my absence toDay. My housemate is sick so I've been playing nursemaid. It is not a fun job.
