Oooo, there's an interesting angle. I thought Boro was possibly furry(ish) yesterDay. I totally forgot we had a cobbler.

P.S. In my last post, I didn't clarify very well at all. Noggie sounded like he was trying to defend his accusations, which I still think are a bit silly by the way. (Not silly so much as semi-unfounded)

Off for a drink. Back in a minute (literally)

Macalaure · 09-14-2008, 10:57 AM

If I can't get Boro, I'd prefer Gwath over Sally.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-14-2008, 11:01 AM

Nogrod 3

Caber and Gwath 2

Lal, Boro, Sally 1

Hmm, all this 'looking more closely at Nilp' will do me tons of good tomorrow.

I get to go in a blaze of plus-pluses, and it gives me less things to occupy me--general busyness, I realised, is burdensome enough.

The pair of werewolves knew exactly where to find their next victim – all they had to do was follow the obnoxious crooning of Alicia Keys. Climbing up the side of the hotel to the second floor, they slipped through the open window. Teeth bared, they were ready to pounce. But Brinniel was too busy singing, with much passion, into her iPod as if it were a microphone.

One of the wolves came up behind her and ripped the ‘earbuds’ out of her ears. She continued singing for another line before she realized that she could no longer hear the music. Brinniel laughed. She just sounded too good – she couldn’t tell the difference.

But then when the woman turned to look for her earbuds, she let out a scream as she saw the two creatures who had been standing right behind her. They smiled wickedly.

“Pfft, okay guys, you got me. What is this, “Scare Tactics” or something else? Dorks.”

The wolves’ cruel smiles faltered slightly. Then they growled angrily as the girl ignored them, and started searching the room for the camera.

“You are going to die,” one of the werewolves growled menacingly.

Brinniel turned back to them for a moment. “But I thought you could only be voted off this stupid show!” she cried indignantly.

“Stupid girl,” the werewolves barked. Suddenly one of them had its claws at her throat. “This is reality!” they howled, as the claws ripped through flesh.

~*~

Again the werewolves left the gruesome corpse of their victim in the convention center. When the con-ies arrived the next morning, they found Brinniel hanging in the doorway by her ‘earbuds’. They wondered for a moment if the poor woman had found all of this too much, but then someone gave her a poke. The body slipped from the thin noose, her head remaining precariously above.

Your resident psephologist has been waiting to bung the votes on so here goes before I make the tea

Nerwen - ??? / Boro
Fea - Boro / Boro
Boro - Lal / Lal
Nilp - ??? / Gwath
Nogrod - Gwath / Gwath
Gwath (deceased) - Rikae / Nogrod

Nogrod · 09-15-2008, 11:51 AM

Well, well... At least my table is now clean as my two most long-standing suspicions eg. Gwath and Brinn are gone... Bad thing is they were innocents both and the only decent thing we have done so far was the lynching of CoD which seems to have been at least half-luck...

*Looking at the void of the empty table*

So, refocusing then.

YesterDay's voting was interesting to say the least and I'm going back there right now.

Macalaure · 09-15-2008, 11:56 AM

Brinn has been killed? Hmm. From the top of my head I can't think of a reason why out of all people she has been chosen. Maybe a closer look at her posts and the posts directed at her will bring more clarity.

Apart from that I have to second Nogrod concerning the voting yesterDay. That was plain madness.

Mithalwen · 09-15-2008, 12:01 PM

I was able to read through at lunch time and Lalwende continues to ring my alarm bells - particularly for harping on about how she wouldn't survive the night. Hardly a certainty in a game with a living Ranger. And the ignorance of the voting rules .... all seemed a bit contrived "I am just an ordo so I didn't bother to look at the set up thing". Also didn't like her saying she thought I had a special role on day one.

But it is that certainty that she would be killed - yes we all say sometimes that we think we are likely targets but when there is a ranger.... either as someone said a cobbler trying to get a clean kill for the wolves or conceivably a very certain Hunter but we are a bit early for that I guess.

There was something else but I need to read again.

Isabellkya · 09-15-2008, 12:05 PM

I wonder why Brin was killed.
They could've gone with another trail-less kill.

Here are yesterDay's votes.

Mith -> Gwath (11:02 pm GMT)
Boro -> Lal (3:28 pm GMT)
Fea -> Boro (4:15pm GMT)
Izzy -> Nogrod (4:37 pm)
Gwath -> Nogrod2 (4:55pm)
Caber -> Sally (5:17pm)
Rikae -> Caber (5:28pm)
Nilp -> Gwath2 (5:51pm)
Sally -> Nogrod3 (5:53pm)
Lal -> Caber2 (5:57pm)
Brin -> Sally2 (5:59pm)
Mac -> Gwath3 (5:59pm)
Nerwen -> Boro2 (6:00pm)
Nogrod -> Gwath4 (6:00pm)

I wonder what it says about a person; who's top two suspects for at least a day and a half - both turn out ordo.

X'ed since LAl.

Edit2. Put spacing between names and times. Was jumbly.
