WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Wait, Ophelia? Wasn't there somebody putting a lot of Shakespeare in their posts? Maybe there's a connection there?

I wonder if other ordos have been cast as famous crazy people/characters (like Hamlet, for example, or Oedipus, or Charles the Mad)?

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 09:13 PM

Mira! Noooo!

Blech. I feel sick. (Clearly, since the narration has me vomiting...)

I'll be back later with detailed reasoning on why each and every one of you could have killed Mira.

Lariren Shadow · 03-19-2009, 09:23 PM

Aw Mira! I really have no idea right now who could have done it.

I do also want to know who this M is. But I could just easily see that the only other M is Mac. Interesting...

How about Juanna La Loca or Elizabeth Báthory as well?

Lariren Shadow · 03-19-2009, 09:24 PM

Or I read it wrong and M is Mira...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-19-2009, 09:24 PM

M is Mira, as evidenced by context. Sorry for confusion.

Nienna · 03-19-2009, 09:31 PM

Mira my darling Stick the course of true love never did run smooth.

Just popping in to say goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Lariren Shadow · 03-19-2009, 09:34 PM

So either Nienna is Stick's lover or just wants to throw us off. I'm too tired to try to come up with which is better so I'm going to bed.

Fortunately, maybe. It looks like there are clues. No telling if they will help us or not. Depends on the twisted-ness of Sally I suppose.

Maybe Mira wasn't a lover? Especially since the list has her as an ordo.

X'd since Lari's #359.

That may be, but she certainly has some connection with another player, given the narration.

Isabellkya · 03-19-2009, 09:47 PM

True.
It could've been an extra to her ordoness.
Since Legate's vote counted double when on a Cobbler or Duckie.

Though, we might find out toNight. Since it looks like the WereDucks knew of him.

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 09:47 PM

And shall I not attempt to find the perpetrators of the death of our lady fair?

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 09:49 PM

Sometime too hot, the eye of heav'n shines...

Durelin · 03-19-2009, 10:01 PM

It certainly suggests she was a lover, but for some reason Hamlet didn't go down with her. Perhaps because of our ranger...? Or we simply don't have traditional lovers. If we do have the traditional lovers, a werecreature and a non-werecreature...if the wolves killed one of their packmate's lover...?

I guess it's probably a waste of time to speculate on it...unless Mira was lover to a werecreature and we can follow a trail to them...which I doubt. The trail part anyway.

We need to look a bit at why the wolves picked Mira, too, of course. Maybe I'll have time to go over her posts a bit before I go to bed, but I'm definitely not staying up as late as I did at the start of yesterDay...

A note about yesterDay - I guess the double vote thing was what Legate was experimenting with. Bleh.

(Edit: Crossed with many...mostly Shasta.)

Shasta is certainly Hamming it up.

Ok so I have to ask. For lovers if one dies the other dies? Or not? Because I thought it was if one gets killed by the wolves then the alive lover gets to have a revenge kill. Or is that just not the case?

Really to bed now.

That's how I thought lovers worked in previous games here...but that doesn't mean anything. It might well be the revenge thing in this game because we only have one lover down...if Mira was a lover.

Is this then sorta a warning maybe?

Oh, it was Nienna. Hmm. Sally didn't specify whether her lover pairs would be strictly male-female or not, so maybe we've got some kind of crazy lover thing where their fates aren't intertwined? Or maybe Nienna's Shakespeare thing is just Sally's way of messing with us.
