Doomed because I missed the first day and have a social life around Halloween. Ah well.

*hugs* Don't worry, the same fate will probably befall me as well.

Since you're dead (I assume, best wait to be sure I suppose) you wouldn't want to give us any last minute advice or tell us what you might know, would you? Good of the village and all that.

McCaber · 11-03-2008, 12:23 AM

Sorry, the whole "grim fatalism" gets in the way. And it fits the theme. Oh, to die before ever knowing love!

I bloody love you. Can you just kind of haunt the game for a while?

McCaber · 11-03-2008, 12:27 AM

I've got ten minutes. How much haunting do you want?

As much as you can provide, my friend. I can use a good giggle. Heh.

Erm....k....awkward....definitely in the amusement category though.

McCaber · 11-03-2008, 12:32 AM

You don't think that fits? If that doesn't do it for you, you could read some of the longer lyric poems of doomed lovers or someone in love who never got the chance to do anything. You know, Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Anything of that genre could work.

McCaber · 11-03-2008, 12:35 AM

And I'm officially having too much fun narrating my impending doom.

Ah well.

Diamond18 · 11-03-2008, 12:37 AM

The Lonely Hearts dithered a bit over who to lynch, a sure change from their overwhelming confidence the day before. But at the end, Brinn cast the deciding vote to doom McCaber. She took up a poisoned lance and pierced him with it.

As he lay dying, Greenie gave a yelp and rushed to his side, falling to her knees. “Tristan, my love!” she cried. “Not again!”

“Alas, my Isolde,” he responded faintly, “it was not meant to be.” And as he drew his final shuddering breath, Greenie fell upon him and also gasped her last. The Lovers lay together, silent and dead.

Then a strange thing happened. Their spirits rose from their bodies, and two ghostly figures hovered there. But they looked nothing like the McCaber and Greenie everyone knew; rather like a lord and lady of old. They reached out to each other, but a hand from the heavens came down and pushed them apart. The voice of Venus said, “You have failed. You will never be together again.”

The spirits faded, falling away from each other into the darkness of eternal loneliness.

It is Night.

Why do you want or even think he would give us advice? Do you now think he's innocent?

On the more serious side, nice playing with you buddy. If you're not evil, my apologies. If you are....well, it's a family board.

EDIT: x'd with our moddess, but I'm sure it's not fair to offer commentary. In that case, tomorrow.

Just noticed this. No, m'dear Brinn, I didn't magically think he was innocent, I was just hoping he'd maybe say something and slip up somehow, maybe give us a clue to another lover by mistake (which seems more and more plausible now). That and I was bored.

Okay. Really off to bed now.

How could he give us a clue to another lover when even he didn't know who they are for sure? And I don't know if he'd really care anyway, considering they are on opposite teams.

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-04-2008, 01:46 AM

On Eomer:

#98. Thinks it's dangerous to metagame too much, and that there are probably some active baddies. Votes Rikae.

#233. Evidences puzzlement at the number of kills. Thinks it might be wise to pick someone who wasn't involved with Lalaith and killing them. Defends his vote for Rikae as "stirring the pot".

#266. Concerned with the paranoia of the village. Extolls the virtue of basing speculation on fact. Thinks Kitanna is suspicious for being the nth person to think that Legate was killed because it was thought that he was a lover.

#290. Doesn't see any point in analyzing the deaths. Goes heavily into metagame.

#297. Lists reactions to the deaths of Legate and Lalaith. Really goes after Kitanna because of her reaction.

#302. More attacking Kitanna.

#303. N/A.

#305. Actually votes Kitanna.

#390. Defends quiet players. Doesn't think Mac's suspicions are enough to bother defending against.

#400. Goes a little overboard on wondering why Nogrod was attacked. Apparently, Eomer thinks Nogrod is dead, or at least that's the tone of this post. Tries to build suspicion on Mac because of one of Nogrod's post, and Mac and Greenie for having not been voted.

#405. Thinks the bandwagon on Gollum is dangerous. Still trying to get Mac or Greenie lynched.

#408. Says the Kitanna-kill was sensible. Thinks the attack on Nogrod wasn't a bluff? I don't understand what he's saying here, but it's the first part I'm most concerned with.

#411. Thinks a vote for Mac would be considered spite. Votes Greenie. Still thinks feelings are overrated.

#491. Thinks it was obvious that Mac was in trouble, given Rikae's hints and Nogrod's willingness to vote him. Can't figure out what Rikae meant. Thought Rikae really looked suspicious, so find the bandwagon on her unsuspicious.

#496. Thinks that Rikae's insistence that Agan was innocent is confusing. Throws out a theory that Rikae was the Seer's lover... then turns around and shoots it down himself.

#513. Playerlist. Ponders starting to lynch females, because he's suspicious of Greenie and Brinniel for reasons he can't articulate. Ponders same-sex couples.

#514. N/A.

#522. Thinks the same as Nogrod does about Brinniel; that she's suspicious. However, is very wary of Nogrod and Aganzir; doesn't want to let them off just because they were saved by the Ranger.

#524. Explains to Nogrod his reaction to Rikae's vote for Gollum and why he thought it was going to become a bandwagon.

#527. Votes Gwath as a throwaway vote. No real explanation.

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

The underlined posts are the ones that give me the most bad feeling. I really think I see some kind of Eomer/Brinniel connection, I don't like the way Eomer was so gung-ho about lynching Kitanna and then became extremely defensive/matter-of-fact about her death and subsequent clearance, and I don't like how he was trying to pour suspicion on Mac earlier. His suspicion of Greenie does nothing to clear him since it's clear they weren't teammates.

I'll post more tomorrow, but it's time for bed for me. Good night!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-04-2008, 06:47 AM

Sally's innocent.

Also, I lied about dreaming about Rikae because I wanted to keep Eomer alive. He's the Guardian.

Really, Brinn? I know you feel the need to play the token skeptic, but the more you doubt me the more I believe you are a danger to the village. I can't condemn you because I haven't dreamed of you, not wishing to flirt with death more than necessary. But that doesn't mean I can't list you as my top suspect for the Day.

Always worth a try, don't you know? Besides, like I said, I was bored. Is it really that big of a deal? Not to mean this in a rude way, but it seems you're making a bigger thing out of that than it needs to be.

Fea, must you tell the world? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the attention and all, but....well, the ranger just needs to be my friend, I suppose.

Alternatively, to the last bit. Bwah?!?!?
