Werewolf XLVIII: When Virtual Becomes Reality

[Rikae]

++Nerwen

for not answering my question, and for hyphenating names excessively.

(Really, I'm serious about that - placing the focus on a duo or trio is a time-honored wolf strategy, and here it really seems premature.)

EDIT: X'd with all since Dury.

[Nerwen]

Then it's

++ Eönwë

Self preservation, plus I think he's the most suspicious of the people who have two votes.

EDIT: X'd with Elf-warrior and Aganzir.

[Nogrod]

I'm afraid that with The Sixth we get an easy wolf-victory - as well as with Nerwen. Mith we can ask toMorrow, whether she is a wolf.

So it leaves me yet again with Eönwë and Kitanna.

But how many of you are still around and have not voted?

With 4-persons at the same vote it will be random!

Let's pick one, please.

EDIT: X'd with a host Isee...

[Nogrod]

Sixth and Eönwë 3
Nerwen & Mith 2

Anyone?

Let's not let the wolves make ties...

[Nogrod]

Okay then.

++ The Sixth Wizard

And Eönwë talks...

Is that synonymous to "And Eönwë will live to fight another day"?

Apart from the "being a wolf" thing, right?

Maybe I'm prejudiced here, Aganzir, but your activity yesterDay gives me a nasty impression of shopping around for someone to lynch.

On the other hand, at least you didn't vote "at random" or giving IC reasons, unlike some people I could mention.

[Boromir88]

Yesterday Nerwen looked like an easy target for the wolves, today I'm not so sure. She's still posting frequently, but the posts are all empty.

There is no explanation, nothing. It's just' Aganzir's activity looks suspicious (ok why?) and it's arguably an easy statement for people to agree with, because Agan was drawing suspicions yesterday.

The reaction of Aganzir and later Rikae to this makes me wonder...

What were their reactions, what are you wondering about? I'm sorry right now I don't have time to go searching through all the posts to try to find what you mean. It would be much easier if everyone just explained themselves. But I got a feeling the hackers don't want to do that.

Making a statement (like Agan's activity yesterday rubs me the wrong way), that's easy for everyone to agree with, and not giving any kind of explanation looks highly suspicious. I can't see Nerwen as a hacker, I don't know why one would continue this charade from yesterday. Perhaps she's our spammer.

I wanted to make a comment on Formendacil, but am out of time, and will have a couple hours later before the deadline.

I thought it was obvious: the fact that they tried to get me lynched for saying that. It makes me think I may have hit on something. After all, last game I picked a wolf on Day One and was promptly killed for my pains.

And my last post was leading up to another one, for your information:

People I could mention (random/frivolous voters)

Eönwë does give some actual reason for his vote, but it looks like he's just picking up on things other people have said.

"You should always sort out the problems nearby before you sort outt problems in the world", says me. And since we both live in "Beleriand" (accordinng to Nilp), she is definitely nearby.

Formendacil can't be accused of copy-cat suspicions; however, he gives no serious reason at all, plus he's pre-defensive, to coin an expression. (Or has someone done that already?)

++Nogrod

Because what would make a better cover for a hacker looking to overthrow the existing Mods than a pathetic wannabe-Mod? No one would suspect it.

Kath doesn't even try to explain her vote.

++EONWE

Neither does The Elf-warrior– and he's pre-defensive. Not only that, unlike the others he's "randomly" casting the third vote on The Sixth Wizard, bringing him into the lead.

If this is suspicious so be it.

EDIT: X'd with Aganzir, Kitanna.

[Aganzir]

Nog - 1, N3rwen - 2, VI - 4, sally - 1, Mith - 2, Eönwë - 3, Rikae - 1, Kit - 1

xed with Nog again

[Aganzir]

One minute left so if you're about to vote, do it soon.

[satansaloser2005]

Still four votes left to come in then, I believe.

EDIT: x'd with our Nog-Not-Mod. Make that three votes still coming in.

[Brinniel]

Deadline!

The Sixth Wizard has been lynched. Narration will come...be patient (I know it's tough ).

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I am part of no brawl. I certainly am no part of a brawl of four.

My exchange with Master Formendacil was made in pure jest. I fail to see why anyone continues to bring this up.

I feel uncomfortable with the way Nilp is now turning accusations from Nerwen and Sixth to people who suspect(ed) them. (Aganzir)

Not merely those suspicious of them, but those eager for their blood, as you are, Aganzir.

[Nerwen]

r we stil alowed 2 talk?

No, dear. Deadline's at six. Well, eleven, but six for me. Now hushabye.

EDIT: typo. And double points if you get the hushabye reference by the way.

[Brinniel]

The day started out as a chaotic one. Nogrod attempted to bring order, but without the B-W and no real moderators out in the open, it was little use.

Nerwen continuously confused the poor others with her chatspeak and random “LEGGY IS HAWT” comments. And with Shasta hardly around, even the therapist Mithalwen couldn’t understand what she was saying. At one point, frustrated Eomer accused Nerwen of being stupid. Nerwen retorted, “No, u r STOOPID!!!11” But finally Nerwen chose to revert back to English much to the relief of everyone.

Meanwhile between Formendacil and Nilpaurion, it was battle of the intellectuals. They butted heads, yet it seemed only they knew what they were talking about. Except for perhaps Boromir, who claimed he knew everything. After all, he wrote the dictionary for it.

Aganzir spoke up complaining, “Why can’t everyone here just act normal? All this distraction is gonna keep us from original purpose…find the hackers.”
“Just because people may be acting odd doesn’t mean there isn’t some sort of clue to finding the hackers,” Kitanna commented. “The key is reading between the lines.”

Finally it was time to get down to business. Formendacil was the first to place his vote, pointing a finger towards Nogrod. Kitanna decided Nerwen was most suspicious.
“I think we should lynch Sixth,” said Sally.
“But what about Mith?” spoke up Eomer. “I’ll bet my $8 frappucino she’s a hacker.”
Kath didn’t know who to choose…so she closed her eyes and pointed at the crowd. And that is how Eönwë became her choice.
Ka decided she didn’t want to be the echo of someone else’s vote, so her vote went to Rikae. And Durelin voiced her thoughts against Kitanna.

“Wait,” cried out Boromir. “If we all vote for someone different, how will ever choose someone to get lynched?”
So it was decided. The remaining BDers would choose someone who had already been voted for. The tallies were made and in the end, Eönwë and Sixth were tied.

“Well this won’t work,” sighed Sally. “Ties are simply no fun. Who hasn’t voted yet?”
“Well Shasta hasn’t. He went to his tent this morning and no one’s seen him since,” said Nilpaurion. “And where is McCaber?”
“Okay, okay, I haven’t voted,” spoke up Aganzir. “But I do think we should get it over with and kill Sixth.”
Nogrod agreed. “What do you say, Sixth? Any last words?”
But the Sixth Wizard was silent.

So the BDers picked up their pitchforks and torches and carried Sixth to the nearest tree. Aganzir placed the noose around Sixth’s neck and Boromir and Elf-Warrior strung him up in the tree in a good old fashioned lynching.

When it was done, nothing happened.
“So, how do we know whether he was guilty or not?” asked Rikae.
Nogrod searched the corpse of Sixth, but all he found was a very large book titled How to be a Grammar Nazi.

The Sixth Wizard was just an ordinary BDer.

Night 2 has begun.

Hackers/Wolves may PM and choose a kill. Gifteds may do their thing. Everyone else silence.

[Brinniel]

The next night the moon was full and the hackers were thirsting for another kill. They had successfully avoided the angry mob the previous day, and in their place an innocent BDer was lynched. They huddled together in the woods for several hours as they made their evil plans.

“So, we’ve made our decision?” said one.
“Yep, it’ll be a nice juicy kill, I’m sure of it,” said another.
“Okay, let’s go,” said the third.

The three hackers prowled through the camp, unseen by the sleeping BDers. Their target was at the very end of the row of tents. But as they approached the tent, they saw the figure of someone standing in front of it. And it was not their prey.

“You think you can get away with another kill tonight?” said the figure. “Well, not if I can stop you!” The shape held up a crossbow, and an arrow came flying at one of the hackers, grazing its shoulder.
“Ow!” cried out the hacker.
A second arrow came flying, whizzing past the ear of another hacker.
“Abort the plan! Abort the plan!” shouted the hackers, and they ran away scattering.

The hackers had narrowly missed the ranger’s arrows and they returned to their tents, their stomachs still growling.

-----------------------------------------

The BDers emerged from their tents early the next morning wondering who the hackers’ next victim was. But after Nogrod did a quick headcount, they realised everyone was still alive.

“So what happened,” wondered Kath. “Did the hackers just not feel like killing someone last night?”
“Wait a minute,” said Kitanna as she pulled an arrow from a tree and showed it to the rest.
“Well, it looks like our moderators have been doing their jobs,” observed Boromir.
“Thank Eru for that,” praised Nilpaurion.
The BDers all agreed as the settled themselves in a circle around the campfire.

“Well this has certainly been a boring narration,” sighed Aganzir. “I mean, while it’s nice and all that the hackers didn’t manage to kill anyone, a death here and there does at least add a bit of spice.”
“Yeah,” agreed Eomer. “And this narration isn’t even funny. If no one’s gonna killed at night, then something funny should happen in its place.”
The other BDers nodded in agreement.

Then McCaber spoke up. “Well don’t you guys know? That’s why I’m here! After all, I’m the comedian of the group.”
“Okay, what kind of jokes do you do?” asked Nerwen.
“LotR ones, of course,” McCaber replied. “Wanna see my Denethor impression?”

Before anyone could respond, McCaber picked up a bottle of propane and poured it all over himself. He then jumped into the campfire and proceeded that with running around the camp in a flaming blob screaming, “Wheeeeee!!!!!!!”
Finally McCaber collapsed and the BDers came running over to him with buckets of water. They put out the fire, but it was already too late for McCaber who had been burnt to a crisp.

“Now that was funny,” said Sally, and the others couldn’t help but agree.

Excuse me, Formendacil, I am a he, not a she.
