Tol-in-Gaurhoth LI: The Pain of Wargs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

So, Gollum, you first mourn that everybody is too quiet and then suggest lynching someone who is according to your own words the only one who will keep up the conversation? Great logic.

I don't really understand this village and to be honest, I'm even annoyed with it. (This is not especially for you, Golly, so don't take this as a personal attack.) All the Days, only the actions of the loud players are discussed. Then, every Day, a loud player is lynched and with the exception of Legate, they've all been innocent. Then, the village just always picks a new loudmouth to lynch. On top of that, the cowardly wolves keep taking down loudmouth people as well.

Is this supposed to be a good game? A bunch of people who say nothing and just get rid of the few ones who bother to commit time to actually doing stuff.

Not very enjoyable in my opinion. You might as well lynch me next, would fit the pattern nicely, wouldn't it? And would be just as useful as most of the other lynches. And you wouldn't have to bother with anyone actually talking and urging people to post. And I wouldn't have to get frustrated. Wouldn't that make everybody happy?

Okay, I know I'm generalising and not being fair, but I really don't like this "pop in once a day and make two or three posts" tactics because it makes discussion very difficult and what I like even less that this village is so stupidly centered on loudmouths that they wouldn't notice if the silent slip-under-the-radar wolves were doing pirouettes and blowing up bombs in their shady corners.

Are you just trying to protect yourself? I mean, if we kill you, all we'll be short on will be a one-sided conversation.

Obviously. So just kill me and get rid of it.

But really, I feel this village is being rather unconstructive. I bet the wolves are going to win this game.

Gollum the Great · 10-12-2008, 07:15 PM

Oh yeah. We'd also be missing another player. Must have overlooked that temporarily.

Yes, surprising, isn't it? About as surprising as the fact we're going to miss another player anyway after today...

Gollum the Great · 10-12-2008, 07:29 PM

Ok. We're not getting anything done, and this may be the last time I post for several hours.

I believe innocent:

Kath
Mith
Diamond

Not sure:

Gwath
Lommy
Gaunt

Have fun.

Well I can sort of feel your frustration Lommy, but speaking as one of the quiet ones, it's merely "real life" getting in my way -- I've had barely any time to read through the posts and once I've done that (and been forced to skim some of the longer ones) I have no time left to write lengthly well-thought out posts of my own. It's unfortunate but then we just have to play at the level we're capable of at any given time. In fact the quieter the village gets the easier it is for me to actually participate.

That said I do agree that it's somewhat silly for only loud players to be getting lynched. Wolves (or whatever the "bad guys" are in this game) are just as susceptible to real life induced time constraints, etc., so the probability of the foes in this village hiding among the silent is really very high.

Based on voting patterns yesterday I'm leaning towards Gwath or Gollum. Then there's Gaunt, who could be the perfect newbie-submarine-combo-of-doom. I will probably vote for one of those.
