WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification)

[satansaloser2005]

[Mithalwen]

There's the pestilential nuisances who try to get you killed--
And pesky cobblers whether meat or fruit filled--
And people who are leaders and try to raise a cheer--
They fill me with great fear, they fill me with great fear--
But my dearest boy - I'll leave him off the list--
I know that he'll be missed, I know that he'll be missed


CHORUS. She's got 'em on the list--she's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of
'em be missed.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Who'll join Rikae in saying, 'No fair'?

How about Lari?

[Isabellkya]

o.O

What did the baby digital watch say to the mommy analog watch?

Look ma, no hands!



You know, I think it time we all speak as plainly as we are allowed to.

[Mithalwen]

Lari is an Enigma.

but I need to continue my variations on Sir Arthur's theme......

All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and
likewise--Never-mind,
And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who--
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be
missed!

Or maybe that should be Gilberts...

I have already pushed my luck ........


Which was warmer? The mummy otter or the baby otter?

The baby because he was a little 'otter.

[Nerwen]

HOORAY!!!!
Let's drag our fellows
To the gallows!
As they gasp for air
We'll raise a cheer!
It's so much fun
Killing everyone!
It's lynching time, lynching time,
Happy, happy, lynching time!

.......

.......

...Um... seriously... are you all crazy?

[Mithalwen]

Bonkers as conkers.

[Isabellkya]

We are all here at this Asylum for Behavioral Modification.
I would say yes.

I wonder how many Lover pairs are still left.

[Gwathagor]

Wow. What a Day.

[Isabellkya]

That was just... awesome. xD

Having read:

Rikae and Nilp are both wicked. That is clear; the only question is whether they are both cobblers, or whether one is a wolf. IF either is a wolf, I would guess Nilp.

I would be happy to try to double-lynch them, since Kath is off limits toDay.

Or might it be you who are doing it? (the bolded thing I mean) Interesting you came up with such a role to this game just by yourself...

A nice detail: you said you knew who the ducks were. Of course you know then...

The more I think of that the more credible it starts to look like. You Rikae are the spawner of the ducks around here - and you count on us not daring to lynch you because you promise us fire and brimstone or looking more like a cobbler wishing herself lynched. I mean in a way you do those both at the same time - at least you did so yesterDay as I remarked already then.

It becomes anyway much more symmetric and more neat this way as well.

The baddies have a duck-giver, we have a duck-killer.

One of the weird roles (Mith) at least started good - and the other (Nilp) then started bad.

Now whether Mith by her Nightly deed of saving us from a kill stayed a goodie or turned into neutrality - or even to evil - is something we don't know. And what would happen if Nilp was lynched I'm not too happy to try out.

[Mithalwen]

Why do you think Nilp is evil? Nilp is being Nilp and a good son.... Rikae is a distraction.... And Nogrod .... more constructive to look at my days than speculate about my nights....

Why do you think that the number of ducks is growing, and that it wasn't just high to begin with? And why don't you want to lynch Nilp?

[Isabellkya]

I don't think ducks are spawning, or growing for that matter.
Simply cobblerisms. Picked up by paranoia... insanity? Fed by further cobblerisms.
The End.


X'd with Gwath.

I agree.

[Gwathagor]

Ok, I'm going to go eat dinner. But I'm coming back. And then things are going to get exciting.

Are you sure it is wise to ask such questions.... ?

[Macalaure]

++Rikae

Without Kath, I'm out of regular suspects anyway. Whether and how to arrange a multiple lynching, I will leave to your wise counsels.

[satansaloser2005]

Lynch carefully.

[Rikae]

If we're doing a multi-lynch, Mith better be in it.

I can't speak for the rest of the village, but I know that I am in the habit of taking advice from cobblers.

[Mithalwen]

You would say that since getting me lynched woul dbe the biggest help you could give the ducks.

I suppose you will claim I turned you into a Newt (but you got better)?

Oh, me too! If you can't trust a self-confessed cobbler, who can you trust?

EDIT: X'd with Mith.

Your...your mom?

The internet. you can always trust the webs, on everything.

Particularly after everything I heard about her from the phantom.

[Rikae]

Mith claims to be "delivering ducks" but, even if ducks required medical assistance to bring ducklings into the world, they aren't delivered, they are hatched. Hence, Mith is lying. Or maybe she's speaking in spiritual terms, but since most major religions agree that ducks do not have immortal souls in need of deliverance, Mith is most likely lying.

Or, seriously: what duck has Mith "delivered" to the village? Two were lynched fair and square; one was killed by an assassin who was not necessarily Mith.

[Rikae]

What I'm saying is perfectly logical, you don't need to trust me to believe it. Just look at what Mith has said. It doesn't add up.

And you are now trying to...help the vilage?

Rick Astley.

I think she is more like a taxi cab.

x'd since Rikae's #994.

[Mithalwen]

You are ignoring the Soul Cake Duck.

Relevant questions.

Now it all began yesterday - I had indeed forgotten about it, but after Day2 I had written myself some points I should have to remember to think of on Day3 if I were still alive. The last thing I had written down was the following: "The number of ducks increases unless the mother goose is eliminated?". It came back to me when I saw Rikae's post about Mith spawning new ducks. I went back to look at the last moments of Day2 to finally find the piece that triggered the idea. It's indeed from Sally's narration.

Early in the Morning, before most of the village had even considered getting up, the were-ducks and their duckess-in-chief Mnemo met to discuss strategy for the Day. When Mnemo joined the band of baddies she heard Wilwa and another feather-faced female joking about Legate's body, which had started to sprout cucumber plants. She recognized Nienna in the Dawn light and approached the group, smacking Nienna on the shoulder to get her attention.

“Let's get down to business, make the village gone
Did they send me hatchlings when I asked for swans?
You're the saddest player I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Nienna, I'll make a duck out of you”

So someone sent a hatchling-Nienna to the ranks of Mnemo the arch-duckess (should we lynch her indeed? ) during Night2? That was the idea I had yesterday. Now it looks like Rikae is just fitting that role only too well.

About Nilp then. He's almost too keen to get himself lynched and it feels foul. It also fits the kind of symmetry-requirement every mod feels tempted to lay on her/his game.

But more telling is, I think, his behaviour yesterDay. He only started his frantic show after wilwa was dead but Mith had already hinted about her abilities before that. Also it seems he has been all the time trying to get himself killed before wilwa's death by speaking merely nonsense, but after it he took stronger measures coming up with all these: "I'm leaving everything to my minions", "Fear me!", "You haven't killed a single fuzzy wuzzy wolfie yet", the "Fibonacci Sequence" and all that... and after getting the second vote there was this (Fea's vote post quoted in the post): "Just . . . one . . . more".

So he tried to mess with us, tried to cease the moment and achieve something with it. Counting on us killing him just out of pure annoyance and messing things up?

But if he really has some magical powers as the flashing light (and the most probable killer of wilwa in bright daylight - which I still believe is Mith with all the evidence mainly relating to her tp-fever of two first Days which suddenly died after the Night-action) had, then I would not wish to try and see what powers he would gain after we lynched him.
