Day4
Some of the hobbits told the others they were not feeling particularily well after they discovered what was left of Kath Woodyend. So it was decided that they went ahead to the Green Dragon while the rest gathered the pieces of Kath they could find for the burial.
When those taking part in the funeral procedures finally came to the Green Dragon they were faced with a peculiar sight. Lommy Baggins was banging her head against the wall and just next beside her Brinn Burrows was kicking herself mumbling quietly “If I’m wrong this time I’ll eat my socks...” At the table of adults Volo Proudfoot sat alone repeating a mantra to himself: “I wish I was dead... too much influence... my head’s going to explode...” “Mine too!” yelled the Baggins and banged her head to the wall once again. At the elder’s table there were two round-shouldered figures who were eating different clothing items. Farael Twofoot was just eating his hat and passed the tomatosauce to Menel Furryface who tried to gnaw through his sandal. In the middle of this The Might of Greenholm sat in the floor scattering ashes to his hair and wailing “I’m a total fool... I’ll vote for anyone you tell me to vote... I’ll eat my socks if you insist...” ~*~ It was only the second breakfast that brought things back to order and the accusations started to fly once again. And this time it felt like being real. The Might was heavily suspected from his reckless actions yesterday but also Menel Furryface took his part of the accusations. Towards the late hours Kuru Shrewthwacker and Farael Twofoot went after each other heatedly enough in the elder’s table. Walking sticks were swang to and fro and the others had to cool the oldtimers down. It seemed age-old feuds were easily reignited in times of trouble. But in the end it was pretty clear what was the result. It was perhaps even too clear to aid them much in the coming Days... But Menel Furryfoot it was to be this Day. ~*~ Volo Proudfoot stood up and walked to the door. “Just wait a minute. I’ll bring you something I’ve designed toDay”. He went outside the door and soon everyone heard the clatter and rattling. Finally he emerged from the doorway dragging an iron cage with him. Menel went pale just with the sight of it. “Now this should make the Furryfoot talk! I’ve designed it myself and would like to call it the Iron Hobbitess. You can see the sharpened ironspikes inside... they’re calculated to inflict enough pain for the victim to actually talk as they penetrate his flesh. And if it’s a werewolf we have in there he can’t escape from the cage. What say you?” Volo looked proud with his invention as the others sat gasping and tried to swallow the idea. “Okay, inside you go!” called the Might of Greenholm and looked towards Menel. “Yeah, you should try that one out!” added Shasta of the River and yanked Menel up from his place in the table of elders. “I’ll give you a hand”, said Brinn and took the other hand of Menel starting to drag him towards the Iron Hobbitess. Fea Briarpatch and Kuru Shrewthwacker raised up at the same time from the elder’s table and gave a hand in pushing the now screaming Menel inside the cage. Mac Sandyman had also stood up and came to help tucking Menel’s head inside. Finally it was Lommy Baggins who slammed the door of the cage close. Volo slipped in the bolt immediately just in case. Menel howled loudly. He screamed his lungs empty. The blood was rapidly spreading on the floor. “Uh-oh... I may have miscalculated the length of the spikes then...”, Volo muttered apologetically. Menel Furryfoot was dead pierced by the spikes. He was nothing more than a decent ordinary hobbit. ~*~ The dead: Nogrod (mod) - Noggie Boffin - beheaded and played soccer with on Night1 Nerwen (ordo) - Nerwen Hornblower - jumped to the river not to force anyone to kill another hobbit on Day1 Valier (ordo) - Vallen FurryFoot - skinned, grilled and served as a breakfast on Night2 Rikae (ordo) – Rikae Took - left the Hobbitton to find aid from somewhere in the middle of Day2 A Little Green (the Breath) - Lilla Greenhand - beaten to death by the hobbits on Day2 Legate of Amon Lanc (ordo) - Legate Sackville-Baggins - sacked, bagged & hanged on Night3 Satansaloser2005 (ordo) - Sally Shortbrush - rammed dead with a table on Day3 Mormegil (the ranger of the Shire) - Mormegil Harrybelly - stabbed to death on Day3 Kath (the seer of the shire) – Kath Woodyend - slashed into pieces during a round game on Night4 Meneltarmacil (ordo) - Lupo Furryface - pierced dead inside the Iron Hobbitess on Day4 The living: Thinlómien - Lommy Baggins Aganzir - Agan Sackville-Baggins Volo - Justy Proudfoot Macalaure - Mac Sandyman The Might - Might of Greenholm Feanor of the Peredhil - Belladonna Briarpatch Brinniel - Brinn Burrows Farael – Farael Twofoot Shastanis Althreduin – Shasta of the River Kuruharan -Kuru Shrewthwacker Night5 begins. Wolves plan forwards... and remember to send your kill to Legate as well. Good Night!

Night5
”Something the Flame said yesterNight got me thinking and I believe I’ve found a stinger that will really offer a challenge”, the Drop said as the werewolves gathered around the mallorn once again.
“I’m all ears”, the Flame responded immediately. “I’m afraid I have no choice...”, the Shard muttered. “Okay then Shard. Now are you a werewolf due to your own will? By your own choosing that is?” the Drop asked innocentishly. “Of course not”, the Shard snapped back. “But what do these hypotheticals have to do with anything? I’m a werewolf whether it’s my own choosing or not and that’s what counts.” “Ahh, but in morality it counts... and elsewhere too. Be patient my friend”, the Drop answered and continued. “So as a werewolf – not from your own choosing – could you decide or will to decide not to kill anyone?” The Drop grinned. “Well...” the Shard managed to mumble. “R-rright! That’s the point I’ve been looking for!” the Flame rejoiced. “If you can’t help it then you can’t be blamed on it either! You can’t say it’s good or bad to breathe as you just can’t help breathing...” “And it’s even more radical than that”, the Drop announced solemnly. “We’re beyond goor and evil my brothers!” “Just a moment... I think I’m getting your point, but...”, the Shard thought out aloud with half-voice. “But if you’re putting forward a thesis that says that we act according to what is our nature and perform quite well with it... it would also mean that we’re... good werewolves!” “Good werewolves beyond good and evil?” the Flame chuckled, “Well look at the scoreboard. Definitevely good, not beyond anything else but a poor performance...” “Please Flame. We're serious now”, the Drop put in. “Okay, let me put it to you then”, the Shard said now clearly upbeat, following the train of his own thoughts. “I’ll make a new distinction for us. So what comes to our essence as what we are by nature - and which we can't choose - we’re good. Like a knife is good when it performs the tasks that make it a knife well... and as werewolves we’re the killers and we kill effectively so we’re good werewolves. But as moral subjects we are beyond good and evil because we have no choice but to do what we do...” “That was pretty impressive! I was thinking exactly something like that!” the Drop applauded the Shard even if he realised his pun wasn’t the best one. “Wait a minute then!” the Flame broke in. “Following this theory of yours I mean... What would you have to say about the hobbits then?” The Flame smiled widely. The two were astonished enough for the Flame to take the word back to him. “So my turn then? Now what kind of creature is a hobbit... a good hobbit?” the Flame grinned barely able to control a laughter. “Generous... laughing..., friendly, warmhearted?” the Drop began. “I see what you mean!” the Shard said. “So also peaceful, non-violent, never killing any one of his kin...” “Ditto! And look at our hobbits here: quarrelsome, accusatory, ill-wishing, rude... and to top it all more than ready to kill each other!” the Flame paraded. “Very bad hobbits indeed... both in essence and from the moral point of view!” the Drop yelled as he understood what the Flame meant. “So, we’re the goodies and they’re the baddies!” the Shard underlined the proposition on the air. After that there was no return. All the three werewolves roared with laughter and patted each other on the shoulders. “Oh, my stomach hurts!” the Drop managed to wail in between the laughters. ~*~ “Okay then. We goodies have work to do”, the Shard reminded the others eventually, smiling widely. “Yeah, let’s do it in a way that fits our new identity”, the Flame grinned. “How about that one?” the Drop pointed at a gorgeous hobbithole some hundred yards from them. “Isn’t that the Baggins? A fine pick I’d say...” the Shard nodded and followed the Drop. “Bring her here to the mallorn, I’ve an idea... and bring some rope will'ya?” the Flame called after the two others who were already on their way. ~*~ The Shard and the Drop brought Lommy Baggins to the mallorn. She had stopped fighting back a long ago as she had realised she was no match for the two giant werewolves. The Flame then presented them with his plan holding two fireworks left by Gandalf in his claws. “Now, here’s what we do... We’ll tie her arms to her body and then two of these rockets to her sides... and maybe that big one to her back”. “Excellent idea! I’ve always loved fireworks!” “And no more lullabies or round games... I’ve never quite liked them anyhow”, the Shard commented. ~*~ The hobbits woke that morning to the sound of fireworks going off. And as they went to their windows this was what they saw. ![]() The Day rose just moments after the fireworks display was over. There were small pieces of hobbit everywhere as well as parts of clothing. The smell of sulphur still remained in the air. Lommy Baggins was nowhere to be seen... ~*~ The dead: Nogrod (mod) - Noggie Boffin - beheaded and played soccer with on Night1 Nerwen (ordo) - Nerwen Hornblower - jumped to the river not to force anyone to kill another hobbit on Day1 Valier (ordo) - Vallen FurryFoot - skinned, grilled and served as a breakfast on Night2 Rikae (ordo) – Rikae Took - left the Hobbitton to find aid from somewhere in the middle of Day2 A Little Green (the Breath) - Lilla Greenhand - beaten to death by the hobbits on Day2 Legate of Amon Lanc (ordo) - Legate Sackville-Baggins - sacked, bagged & hanged on Night3 Satansaloser2005 (ordo) - Sally Shortbrush - rammed dead with a table on Day3 Mormegil (the ranger of the Shire) - Mormegil Harrybelly - stabbed to death on Day3 Kath (the seer of the shire) – Kath Woodyend - slashed into pieces during a round game on Night4 Meneltarmacil (ordo) - Lupo Furryface - pierced dead inside the Iron Hobbitess on Day4 Thinlómien (ordo) - Lommy Baggins - blown to the skies with fireworks on Night5 The living: Aganzir - Agan Sackville-Baggins Volo - Justy Proudfoot Macalaure - Mac Sandyman The Might - Might of Greenholm Feanor of the Peredhil - Belladonna Briarpatch Brinniel - Brinn Burrows Farael – Farael Twofoot Shastanis Althreduin – Shasta of the River Kuruharan -Kuru Shrewthwacker Day5 begins...

Alright, I know this will maybe annoy you a little right now, but...
I TOLD YOU SO! That just had to be said. In the light of Menel's death, the Might looks even worse. I think Shasta is finally worth a serious look now. Brinniel's vote is suspicious, because it destroyed all efforts of looking for better lynch candidates. Kuru, Fea, Farael, Aganzir - there's at least one wolf hiding among those, but I don't know who it is. There's a lot to be done today. It might be suspicious that I'm going to drop all my suspicions against Volo now, since he just started to suspect me, but the way he bases so much of his points against me on the wolfdom of Menel it is rather obvious that he didn't know Menel's role - because of the time he posted them (he would have known that much of his points were obsolete after Menel's death). Quote:
And about concentrating on you indecisively: The first two days I was unsure of you, so of course I was indecisive. Later, I lacked any support for your lynching by the rest of the village. I hope you're not planning to concentrate on me too much today. Even if you're certain of my guilt, don't forget there are two more wolves out there. |

This is looking difficult.... the wolves have played us very skillfuly!!! I still think that The Might is too wolvish... and thus, probably a wolf. But I've been so wrong this time around that I'm starting to get paranoid.
I really think Kuruharan made a lot of weak accusations, then I reacted to that and he answered with the typical "oh, you are defending yourself thus you ought to be a wolf". I still say that I was attacking him, not defending myself. Look it on your own and make your choice, but I believe Kuru is a wolf. Furthermore, he was quiet and reserved throughout the whole game, and then BAM he's all over me. Smelled blood and went for the kill. Problem is, even if The Might and Kuruharan are both wolves, I'm at a loss as to who the third one is. I'd love to hear a good case against Shasta 'cps I haven't seen it myself... and even though I know it's frustrating when one's too busy to play but still doing their best, Fea has flown completely under the radar, and she's smart enough to pull it off. Still, before going into a witch hunt for the third wolf I cannot find, I'd much rather get rid of Might and Kuruwolf.

Well, obviously I was wrong about Menel being a wolf. I admit I can't help but feel more than frustrated at that and the idea of how much these wolves are manipulating us. I miscalculated yesterDay- we should actually have two more Days to catch one wolf, which means two more chances. But it doesn't help that a third of us are baddies toDay, which will make things even more difficult.
I said yesterDay I thought there was at least one wolf among Menel and Might. My mind hasn't changed. Menel is dead and innocent...which leaves Might. I am quite ready to lynch him toDay, but I won't be so hasty to vote for him just yet. Because I first want to consider other possible werewolves. There are two of them (three if I'm wrong about Might), and I'm really unsure on who they might be. I've reached a point where no one seems innocent anymore and everyone looks suspicious. It might make me more paranoid, but perhaps that is best so that I no longer let anyone slip under-the-radar. Here's some first thoughts on everyone: Aganzir: I don't like her sudden violent attacks on me. She's the one who began suspecting me and somehow drew up a lot of support. She is wrong because I know I'm innocent, even if I can't prove it to anyone, but I'm still not sure whether her attacks are that of a wolf's. If they are, she is being a very bold wolf. Volo: I began to suspect him less yesterDay mainly because I thought Menel was a wolf. But now that Menel's been proven innocent, I'm beginning to suspect him a bit more. I'm feeling very uneasy about Volo; I think I had good reasons to suspect him previously, and I might've let him off the hook too easily. I definitely need to take a closer look at him. Mac: I've found him innocentish for most of the game, but perhaps I shouldn't let him slip by so easily. After all, in previous games I've been so sure that certain people were innocent, only to find out they were wolves. He's definitely not the most suspicious, but I would still like to watch him more closely for now on. Might: Guilty. I think we've been too quick to overlook him and we can't disregard the fact that his newbie behaviour might also be wolfish behaviour. Acting like a confused newbie is the easiest cover-up. The other wolves might even be encouraging it because it's confusing us so much. And I still can't see why Kath wouldn't dream of him when she kept him on her suspicious list all the Days she was alive. Might just feels guilty to me. Of course, I won't deny I have this fear that I could be horribly wrong like I was with Menel. If I am, I really will eat my socks! Fea: I'm really worried about how Fea has somehow managed to slip under-the-radar. I've never actually really played with her so I don't know her style so well, but from what I've heard, she can be quite fearsome as a wolf. I think she's definitely someone everyone should start watching more closely. I haven't taken much time looking at her posts, and perhaps I should. Farael: I can't deny I'm uneasy about how every Day he attacks one person and votes for them early on, even though he manages to stick around until close to the deadline. It's suspicious....but then again, would a wolf be so obvious? Shasta: He's our only quiet player during this game and therefore has managed to slide under the radar. At this point, we can't let anyone do that, no matter how little they've posted. Again, he's another I need to look at more closely. I admit I've overlooked him up until this point. Kuru: His uncertainty about things always seemed to be a bit odd. Then his post #491 really throws me...I stated my reasons for it earlier. I don't like his attack on Farael at all. Farael may have been arguing his post, and while his name might have been mentioned in it, I don't think his argument was all that defensive...he actually did make some good points. So when Kuru titles his next post, "Did I touch a nerve?" I feel he's almost provoking Farael. So right now I'm going to go with saying I suspect everyone. I just need to figure out which people I suspect more. I definitely need to take a better look at everyone's posts from yesterDay (and even before), but that will have to wait until later when I have more time. Werewolf: Guilty until proven innocent. ![]() EDIT: X-ed with Farael

Finally, some substance from me. It's lucky it's the weekend and I have time to do this! I'll edit my thoughts in as I read the posts. I am having to get rid of smileys though.
