Fluttering Enchantment

The sun rose on our little village to reveal a beautiful morning. Despite the fact that it was lovely out, the villagers that gathered in the town square felt a cold chill running down their spines. They were all grateful to be alive, but fearful of who would be missing. After a quick tally it became clear that Lommy was the one not among them.
The villagers gathered close together and walked solemnly to her little house, it was quite close to the town square so they didn’t have to go very far. It was small, but lovely, with a very large willow tree in the front lawn and many various flowers all about it. A curvy path led up to the small red door, well what used to be a small red door. Someone had smashed through the door and crumpled it to pieces. The villagers stepped over the threshold one by one into the small entrance. To the left was a living room and to the right was a narrow staircase. Well, what used to be the narrow staircase. It had been trampled on quite fiercely and was all in pieces. “Something quite large must have come through here.” Nerwen said, gaping at the gaps in the little house. “Well, this happened at Night, so she must be in her bedroom.” Fea pointed out. “Yes, well how do we get to it, her bedroom was up there.” Boro said, pointing to the top of the used-to-be-stairs. “I have some rope back at my shop.” McCaber suggested helpfully, turning to leave. “No need.” Inziladun called as he re-entered the house, carrying a large ladder. “Lommy used to love playing her music on the roof of her house; she used this to get up there.” One by one they climbed the ladder up to the second floor of the house, Lommy’s bedroom was the first door on the right. They entered slowly. It was not a pleasant sight that beheld them. Lommy was strewn all about the room. Well, what used to be Lommy anyway. Her instruments were also destroyed, in pieces everywhere. Nothing about it was out of the ordinary, for that had been what she was. Ordinary. “It looks like she was mauled, by something quite large.” Nerwen said, elaborating on the statement she had previously made. “Indeed.” A few agreed, nodding. Then, becoming too disgusted to bear it any longer, the villagers left and stepped back down the ladder and out of the house. Eomer was left behind again, lowering his shovel as he gazed around the room. “How.......what......but......so many......uh, I need a new job.” He grumbled as he got to work. The villagers regrouped in the town square and as they began to discuss Eomer rejoined them. They knew that the only way to stop the deaths would be to catch the perpetrators, and sadly that would result in more deaths. The dead: Nienna - bookkeeper - hung Day 1 - ordinary villager Lommy – minstrel – mauled Night 2 – ordinary villager The living: Nerwen - bookmaker Eomer - gravedigger Aganzir - jailor, arena and lions included Sally - some poor serving girl who has no money to buy sweets McCaber - humble shopkeeper Izzy - baker Mira - apothocary Gaurcrist - blacksmith Shasta - fletcher Gwath - drunk vagrant Boro88 - the shruberrer Kath - restaurant owner Inziladun - shruberrer's apprentice Fea - Storyteller Greenie - school teacher Lari - fortune teller Mith - herbalist the phantom - the crazy book liberator Day 1 is now. You may discuss dear village. I need names from all those who need to give me them.

Interesting choice, Lommy definitely posted a lot...the baddies might have thought she was gifted? The keeper of the looking glass?
Also, this type of kill might show we don't have baddies who kill off the silent. Time to go through Lommy's posts. I guess I should say I am suspicious of (pretty much in the correct order)... Mith Agan the phantom Gwath

Well, I will say that as far as Day1 voting goes, it wasn't too bad. I got plenty of material from the votes, especially the early ones.
For the record, what Lommy thought about people is recorded here, but I don't think we'll get too much out of it. At this point, the wolves probably just want to cause confusion. I will agree that Nienna was not the best candidate, but I thought she was a better choice than Boro. So yeah. I'll be back in a few hours to see if anything interesting has happened.

Sorry, I started gawking and got distracted. The Lommy bit will come up soon, but first...

I don't want to be lynched, that's what I know, and you don't want me to be lynched...whether you want to believe that or not that's your choice. For me, I had two options, Shasta or Nienna, Shasta who I pretty much called innocent and believed his plea, or Nienna who I formed no opinion of whatsoever. I decided to take a chance with the latter, even though Shasta might have ended up being a less dangerous pick...if he is an ordo. What's interesting though about the Lommy choice, is they were not likely looking for little red cap. If Shasta is an ordo, and therefor is a chance of him being LRC, they might have wanted to try and pick up the extra player. Quote:

What is it with you guys and killing Nienna while I'm asleep?
While I will happily admit that it makes my playing life much easier having Mira and Lari in England and Nienna dead, I still can't figure out why y'all keep killing her on Day Ones. Is it a silent bow to my superiority? (Sorry, Nienna, don't hurt me, just kidding, I love you, please don't stab me in my sleep.) And it's always after I go to bed. There's always somebody worthy of a good lynching on the chopping block, and then I wake up and Nienna was killed instead. What is this about? Someone please enlighten me. Do I just know her so much better than everybody else, and therefore trust her logic and Day One statements much more? Don't mind me, I'm just bothered that I haven't yet figured out a way to make Day Ones useful while they're happening.

Case against Fea starting Day 2
#203 Complains about Nienna's death.
#231 Wonders if Lommy was the safe kill/if was part of a lover pair [QUOTE=Feanor of the Peredhil;597442]I mean, the seer is obviously a major target, but in this game, with so many roles, I'd be hard pressed to figure out as a wolf who I'd kill first, and that's sad since my typical playing strategy is to think "What would the wolves do?"[QUOTE] Now this statement seems innocent enough. However, nothing that seems innocent with Fea ever is unless she's a baddie. #275 Quote:
And then she slept through deadline and has failed to post since. Normally I'd consider that suspicious, but I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt purely because of serious RL issues. Of course, this entire theory is based purely on previous games that I've played/observed with her more than her actions in this game. However, that being said, I'd still consider her suspicious. It's also shower/sleep/fold laundry time for Mira, so I'm just going to vote now. ++Fea

Ach. Not a good start. I feel bad about Nienna. I didn't have a really strong case against her, but it was the best decision I could come up with. Maybe I should have gone with my number two choice, but it could have been worse, I guess. At least I didn't participate in the lynching of the Wielder or Fairy GM, and we can still count on their help.
Lommy was pretty visible, and she is obviously a respected player, so maybe that was why they singled her out. Let's see what others have to say today. I wonder if Gaurcrist and some others who have been almost as scarce as he will rear their heads.

I'm here. Well I don't like yesterDay's voting, I'll go now and read through it once again to see what exactly bothered me in there. At least the lynching of Nienna I didn't like at all. Was there any reason other than that she voted Fea rather jokingly? Her vote didn't look that good to me either but it's still quite a vague justification for a lynch...

So. The Nienna-voters were Eomer, Inziladun, Lommie, Boro and McCaber. I'm basically looking at these people because the whole thing was a strange bandwagon risen from quite a little thing in the end and I want to see if any of the people involved look like baddies jumping on an easy bandwagon.
Eomer was the first to vote Nienna. Quote:
The second one to vote Nienna was Inziladun. Quote:
Lomzy, who was the third, obviously didn't have anything sinister in mind. And then comes possibly the most quoted line in this game this far: Quote:
Boro 3 Shasta 3 Nienna 3 Fea 1 Agan 1 Lommy 1 Sally 1 phantom 1 Lari 1 He must have wanted to save himself and considered Nienna a better lynch candidate than Shasta. In that light his vote doesn't seem that sinister. Of course, a wolf would like to save himself just as well. Actually - it just popped into my mind that if both Boro and Shasta were wolves, it would explain why he chose Nienna over Shasta without question. Have to look into this... The last Nienna-voter was McCaber. Quote:
EDIT: x-ed with McCaber and Boro

I really wish Kath would get here with the summary posts, I rely so much on that, instead of scrolling through pages of stuff. You know if she was evil she could twist the summary to her whim, because I do not double check any of it. I wonder, does everyone else not double check her summary posts?
Quote:
She like's Nerwen and me for being amusing. She also thinks Greenie is amusing but lacks substance. She likes Agan, McCaber and Zil for their approaches to the game so far. Thinks sally is suspicious for her appearance. Says need to watch Eomer and doesn't like Lari's vote, and thinks phantom lacks substance and volume. I can't see any baddie being tipped off that Lommy is the seer here. She mentions a lot of people. I haven't played enough with Lari quite yet, the one time I was the cobbler she was a super wolf. Eomer and phantom are far too composed to see any suspicion against them as being an automatic seer hint. It is interesting what she said about herself however...maybe they believed Lommy was tipping off her role? "immortal maiden elven wise." If she was a maiden, or trying to look like one, that would tip off the robber bridegroom too. In post 46 she tells Greenie to just ingore tp and me, because we were most likely just joking. tp said he was, and I can believe that, I thought he was sincerely dropping hints about his role everywhere. 136 is her next listing and the list is pretty evenly spread out. I guess the one thing that sticks out is in the evil list, while having a reason for almost everyone she calls Fea the "evil schemer-mastermind." If they thought they were getting the seer, this looks bad for anyone on the list, particularly Fea. But then she defends my behavior while throwing a supicion at tp. Quote:
The problem is I don't know if Lommy was killed because she was trying to look like the seer, or a lover. Since she turned out an ordo, I think it was clear that she was trying to fake some role to serve as protection. It would be easier to impersonate a lover, than the seer, and with the way she defended me from my attackers (thank you dear ![]() Edit: crossed with Nerwen and Greenie

I'm on the fence about tp, I get what he was doing in saying that I obviously had a female role. Or at least I think so, but will wait for him to confirm it. He figured I was faking the lover status, and by emphasizing that I obviously had the female role, he was hoping to get the robber bridegroom to come after me. If so, then he has proven (at least to me) his innocence, but the problem I have is misreading tp's dizzling intellect. Plus, he could actually be a wolf, who believed my lover crap yesterday and is just waiting to take out two-in-one.
I have no good reason to feel bad about Mith, other than her posting yesterday. The frustrated, stressed out Mith, then come back recomposed is a classic frustrated baddie Mith. Also, she never asked if I didn't want to be lynched yesterday. I was used to that innocent Mith treatment. ![]()

Okay, so I've not read all the way through the thread but....
Seriously? Nienna? Why, people? Why? Back soon. Doing a friend a favor and then I'm going to catch up over here, so I'll be back with more thoughts asap. And I'll also do a vote tally, because I want to see how the poor kid ended up deaded while I was gone.

I'm here, and finishing my read-through. I've read everyone's posts except Boro and Mith, so when I'm done with them I'll post a little something. But first I'm going to post the voting and give thoughts on that.
As far as Lommy dying- not bad. Not that I don't enjoy her company, but that's as good a result as we could hope for (besides a Ranger save). After my read of her last night I was leaning innocent for her, but certainly not Gifted. She seemed peppy and fun at times, but not nervous or jumpy. She also seemed like she had the village's interests in mind, but didn't strike me as someone with heavy responsibility weighing her down. Anyway, Boro, your first instinct was right. I wouldn't have killed her. There were two or perhaps three villagers who looked giftedish after my readthrough and they would've been the first to go. Though I think Seer hunting would've been out of the question, for I believe there was very little to go on. Back in a bit. edit: x-post since Boro

Lommy
She made a lot of posts, but I can't find anything at all in most of them. (I'm looking especially for things that might have been taken as Seer-hints). However, she did make a couple of lists: Quote:

Grrr you go and kill Lommy right when I finally started getting along with her!
I just spent some hours studying English linguistics (to Mordor with them) with her and she was really angry with complementary word pairs the book talked about: "@%¤! Complementaries don't exist! A zombie is neither dead nor alive!" Given her situation, I can understand her wrath. ![]() I don't think she looked particularly like a gifted, although her comment about Fea being an evil scheming mastermind could be interpreted as seerish if Fea is a baddie. Nerwen had a good point about her voting Nienna because of that Fea vote, though. However I think it's possible they thought she was a lover - immortal maiden elven-wise refers to Lúthien. I wouldn't have expected them to go after possible lovers this early, though. She didn't seem to be a particular threat to anyone, either. Quote:

I second Greenie's questions to Cab. Quote:
Hmm do the lovers unite as soon as the one guesses the other or only at the beginning of a day/night? I know I'm being hypocritical as I always suspect people based on how they phrase things and such, but I don't think Boro's suspicion of Mith is very good. To me her posting didn't look very evil, but even if it had, her actions speak quite strongly for her innocence. I just can't see a baddie bringing up the points she did, eg those about Shasta. Yes maybe she might in order to look good, but if she's a wolf and Shasta isn't, lynching a possible Reddie would do more harm than good to her. Unless the wolves have found Reddie already on night 1... Okay you have a point in that wolf/ordo-LRC/wolf thing though. Quote:
