I didn't see any of the posts from 11:00-11:01, until after I closed the Day, I saw Lari's first about the non-highlighted vote, when I got to it, you had highlighted it. So, it did count in my book.

But for the rest of you... *ahem*, tp, sally. Silence. Oh and Villains, bear, remaining gifteds, you know what to do.

[the phantom]

No time left, people. Speak or forever hold your peace.

[Boromir88]

Deadline. Silence.

Inziladun is lynched. I don't have a narration ready and that will take a while.

Since I hate leaving people waiting (*glares at the people who know who they are*). I will tell you now that Inziladun was a...dum, dum dum, ordo.

The D-league vs. The Dark Monarch

Volume 1, Issue 9: Lights off

After much debate and many retracted votes later, the heroes made their choice, Inziladun would die.

"I'm telling you I am innocent!" cried Inziladun.

"That's what they all say." said alona.

"That light bulb is going to go out" Inziladun pointed to the bulb above Brinn's head. "Right...now." The bulb went out. "See I can still be of use to all of you!?"

"Yes you can!" said sally, and a bulb went off in sally's head. "Isn't there a ridiculously large glass bowl in the kitchen?"

"Yes. Yes there is!" said Mac. He caught onto sally's plan and ran to fetch the large glass bowl.

"Ok, we will need some water, wire, and potatoes." said sally giving orders and her fellow heroes listened.

Shasta and the phantom took hold of Inziladun, who had no clue what was happening. "What? What do you guys want to do to me! I'm telling you I'm innocent!"

All the materials were gathered and sally wrapped the wire around Inzildun's legged, hooked him up to a bunch of potatoes, that were soaking in a bowl of water. the phantom and Shasta placed the glass bowl over Inziladun, and all the heroes watched him begin to glow.

He let off a bright, radiant light, that lit up the entire room and the light even burst out the windows.

"There, now let's see his pals, and that bear try to attack us at night! With the light that Inziladun gives off, they won't dare come out at night!" said morm as sally was laughing at the genius of her plan.

Then Inziladun began to flicker. From inside the glass the heroes could hear a faint "I'm out in...3...2...1 and -" Inziladun had burnt out.

"For being Dr. Electron, and having such expertise with lightbulbs, he made a really useless one." said Durelin. The heroes gathered around the glass bowl, waiting to see if Inziladun had transformed. He had not, Dun, was an ordo and he had blown out.

The D-league vs. The Dark Monarch

Volume I, Issue 10: Meeting the Monarch

It was a dark night, darker than most, as Gust, Pain and Firefly entered the Dark Monarch’s evil lair. It was a pretty lair, not one of those gross underground caves with bats or creepy crawlies. It was basically a big round room with a large spiral staircase and beautiful black and dark blue accents. As they moved to the center of the round room they looked around nervously. After a long moment they heard an eery, but familiar, rustling sound along with the sound of quick footsteps. After a short silence she appeared, in all her evilness, at the top of the stairs.

She wasn’t overly tall; actually she was fairly small considering how powerful she was. She had very long, almost black hair and striking green eyes. Her wings were magnificently huge, almost twice her size, and crazy dark, like ever present shadows.

“You’re late.” She said sternly as her wings fluttered closed and then opened again, which they tended to do sometimes. Her three minions all started apologising and pointing fingers at each other. “Oh, shut up.” She barked as she jumped up and flew down the stairs, resting right in front of them with a sneer and a twitch of her wings.

“So, you know who I’ve decided on tonight.” she continued, suddenly sounding kind of sweet, as she paced in front of the three trembling villains. A paper crinkling sound came from her pocket as she walked slowly and continued to speak. “You have very specific instructions to follow regarding him, for he’s very special." A pause. "Well not in the same way that some of those other so called heroes are, but in a different way, which doesn’t concern you.” As she said this, a quick blush ran across her cheeks and her hand went to her pocket for a moment, but then she quickly composed herself and continued to frown at her followers. Her shadowy wings closed and opened again, fluttering a bit before returning to their proper position.

“Anyway, enough talk. You all know what to do, so go do it!” She said, as she stopped and drew very close to Pain. She said the following three words louder, dropping her sweet tone, as she poked a slender finger at each of them in turn. “DON’T - SCREW - UP!”

They all bowed and mumbled something along the lines of “Yes, Dark Monarch, as you wish.” before turning and hurrying out the door. The evil ruler stood there firmly, watching them leave and then flew off to continue her plotting in peace.

~~

Around this same time, not too far away, Candor Man was relaxing in his room at the B&B. He had had quite a stressful day and was looking forward to a good night’s sleep. Suddenly a large racket could be heard outside his room and three people burst in and then shut the door behind them. They stared at him curiously.

“Do you three make that much noise every night?” he asked them.

“Actually that time was pretty quiet.” Firefly responded, looking pretty proud as the other two nodded, each of them had pretty goofy grins on their faces.

“How on earth does no one hear that?” Candor Man asked, mostly to himself. He then stood there, just staring at the three who he presumed were here to kill him.

A few moments went by, and nothing happened.
“I have to be honest with you three now, because that is what I do.” he looked intently at them and then continued. “But you three are really starting to creep me out. Can you just kill me and get it over with already?”

The three villains started looking at each other, almost as if they were trying to evaluate the level of creepiness of the other two. Another moment of silence, then Gust decided to speak up. “Well, it’s just that our boss gave us really specific instructions involving you so we’re trying to figure out the best way to accomplish it.”

Candor Man looked slightly giddy for a moment at the mention of their boss, but he quickly composed himself. The villains didn’t seem to notice his slight change in demeanour. He cleared his throat and said, “Alright, well whatever you gotta do get it over with.”

~~

Brinn was down in the kitchen, she was hungry for a little snack, and having a craving for fish. She searched the B&B kitchen and found some fresh looking tilapia. "Mmm...this looks good."

She got out turned on one of the burners and went to find a pan. Right behind her was one of the heroes. "You?" asked Brinn a little surprised. "What are you doing up?"

"I could ask the same from you." said the hero smiling. "I won't, because I am much happier today. I smelled tilapia. My favorite! Such a mild taste, there really is no fishy taste at all!"

"Uhh...I guess so" said Brinn. She was a little creeped out, but reached up to grab a skillet. As she tried to pull one out, all the skillets and pans in the cupboard came crashing down on her. "Hey, can you give me a hand. Oh this is terribly embarassing."

"No." said a cold, hungry voice. Brinn looked up to see the person who was originally standing there was now a large grizzly bear. She picked up one of the skillets and stumbled to her feet. "I know how to defend myself!"

The bear seemed to be enjoying itself greatly. Brinn kept backing away, and the bear kept slowly moving forward. Brinn was backed up against the stove. She had accidentally knocked into the burner switch and turned it up higher. Soon her clothes caught fire.

Brinn started sniffing, trying to find where the smell was coming from. The bear motioned for Brinn to look behind her, and Brinn's entire backside was in flames. As Brinn dropped to the floor and began rolling on the floor, trying to put out the flames, the bear grabbed a piece of fish and walked away.

~~

In the morning the heroes awoke and saw that 2 more people were missing yet again. They decided to go first to the closest room, which belonged to Candor Man.

They walked up to the room and stepped inside carefully. At first it seemed like nothing was out of place, but upon closer inspection they found 3 things; a blue stationary kit, a piece of cloth and a puddle of blood.

“That red cloth is the same colour as the shirt Candor Man was wearing yesterday!” Lommy pointed out while she tried to avoid looking at the pool of blood.

“The stationary is pretty useless.” Morm said, tossing it aside. “He probably wasn’t killed for his letter writing skills.”

“So..........where is he then?” Mira asked, looking slightly confused.

“He must have been obliterated, or evaporated, or something that sounds like one of those words.” Form said as he turned to leave the room, the blood making him queasy.

“.hcuO” said Nerwen as the rest of the group followed Form to continue to the other victim’s room.

No one could find where Brinn had been. For she was not in her room.

"I say we just go down to the kitchen and start on breakfast." said Rikae. They all agreed, apparently deciding that Brinn had wondered off somewhere and probably hurt herself.

However, when all the heroes got down stairs, they found a pile of charred ashes on the ground with another note. Nessa read it out loud.

As you can see, Butterfingers had a bit of an accident, she sort of lit herself on the stove. My apologies, I was just after the fish. She did this to herself.

With love,
Your Shape-shifting suitemate

You should still post it - I've really come to appreciate your songs.

[Mirandir]

Oh my...That is a lot of dead ordos...Not good.

Sally stole my idea so I guess I'll take phantom. Back later.

[autume98]

I should be posting a list of the votes for yesterDay here shortly.

[autume98]

Mira votes for Rikae. Mentions probably be retracting since the more she thinks about it the less she think Rikae is evil, but needed a placeholder vote. (Rikae 1)

Shasta votes for Mira for pointing out out gifteds. Mentions that's how Boro was caught last game. (Mira 1)

morm votes for Rikae. Mentions she and sally look most suspicious. (Rikae 2)

alona votes for morm. Reason for the vote is because she believe morm is hiding behind a vote which is what she had been accused of doing. Also mentions it is a placeholder vote. (morm 1)

Nerwen votes for Mira. Not really sure why voted for Mira. she does mention that she may change it later. Also could be in response to Mac's post where he mentions the votes are piling up against Rikae and Mira. (Mira 2)

sally votes for morm. Mentions that he makes her squirmy because she believes he voted for Hakon and then said it was stupid for the rest of Hakon voters to vote for Hakon. (morm 2)

Inzil votes for morm. Asks morm a question which doesn't get answered, then votes without giving a reason. Which seems to be one of the big reasons he got lynched. (morm 3)

Mac votes for Inzil. States that he asked a rhetoric statement creating more of an atmosphere of suspicion against Mira. Then states that as a wolf he wouldn't care much about a non-wolf morm or non-wolf Mira getting lynched. Also mentions in earlier post that Inzil thows out vagues suspicions without backing them up. (Inzil 1)

Rikae votes for alona. Thanks Rikae for making me find what you had said before! Now must find previous posts...
Aha I have found it! I think it's because she gets the odd feeling of her riding her coattails when alona mentions that she voted for Hakon because he was abusing newbie errors "a mistake that both Rikae and I made". (alona 1)

Originally Posted by Rikae

autume votes for Inzil. I didn't like the way he went after Rikae earlier yesterDay. Seemed a little suspicous to me. I agreed with Mac in that he was thowing out suspicions without backing them up. He then asked a question of morm then shortly after votes for morm. (Inzil 2)

Nessa votes for alona. It sounds to me like she's agreeing with Rikae. (alona 2)

Form votes for Inzil. Was already on his "radar" and then the vote for morm seals the vote. (Inzil 3)

Nienna votes for Shasta. Says that he has been acting weird yesterDay and that his for Pitchwife was quite unsettling. Mentions he wishes he were here to defend himself, but finds him the most suspicious. (Shasta 1)

Tommy votes for Shasta. Doesn't give reason, but does mention he still has his retraction. (Shasta 2)

phantom votes for alona. States reason as she dropped out his WW game earlier this year. (alona 3)

Durelin votes for alona. Doesn't give reason. (alona 4)

alona retracts her vote for morm and votes for Inzil. Doesn't have time to go into detail as to why. (morm 2, Inzil 4)

Sally retracts vote for morm and votes Dun. Mentions doesn't find alona that suspicious right now. (morm 1, Dun 1)

Tommy retracts vote for Shasta and votes for Inzil. Mentions alona should be grateful. (Shasta 1, Inzil 5)

Brinn votes for morm. Doesn't give explanation, and unfortunately we won't hear it now as she has been killed by the Bear. (morm 2)

[mormegil]

Sorry I wasn't here yesterday but I was engaged in the joys of airline travel. I haven't been able to catch up on all that was said and I will see if I can but I don't think it overly likely. Anyway I notice a good deal of activity surrounded me yesterday. I got the impression that those who began it did not want to taint their paws on it. Sally increasingly worries me. She seems unwilling to commit to anything solid and yet floats around everywhere poking here and prodding there. She is stirring the pot, so to speak. Rikae as well is not looking good by me still. I don't trust her and would be happy to see her gone. I really believe that we need to bag a baddie today otherwise we are in desperate peril. I implore everybody to objectively look over all of Rikae's and Sally's posts.

Formendacil is another that just hasn't been sitting right with me. Nothing overt but small subtle things, more of a gut on him. I think the other baddie is going to be in one of the players I'm not familiar with i.e. Nessa, Autume, Mira etc... I don't know how to read them yet so I'm a bit at a loss with them.

I would love a fresh set of eyes to look at Rikae and Sally and let me know what you think.

ps I only skimmed some of what happened yesterday, if I get a more detailed reading opinions may change.

[satansaloser2005]

Am I being touchy or does Rikae seem a bit too eager to suspect me? Well, at least to bring up things that are 'suspicious' about me. I explained my vote before I changed it, so what's the problem?

(Also, sorry if I'm a bit short tonight. Got a brief headache reprieve but I'm still not feeling the best, so if I'm a bit snappy please accept apologies in advance.)

No she doesn't seem too eager. I think you are more than deserving than a fair amount of suspicion. In fact I hope we have a lot more eager people to suspect you. The more I consider it the more I feel you are evil

Oh of course. Saying that I am suspicious for trying to break a tie (albeit in the wrong way, and I still hate myself for it) when I said I was going to do it ages before is horribly suspicious. I completely understand.


....


....


Man, I really am cranky. Whoops?



ETA: x'd. Oh, and I am speaking of that particular point of Rikae's argument. Suspect me if you like, just please do it for a good reason. That's all I ask.

[satansaloser2005]

K, so I know some of these posts are rubbish and I'm sorry, but I'm quoting them anyway in the hopes that maybe I/someone else can figure out why she was killed. It's possible the bear thought she was leaving a hint or something, so it's best to have everything in one place.

On a more serious note, I will have to vote early toDay as I plan to see a Broadway show tonight (haven't decided which) and most likely won't be back by deadline. There's a chance I'll be around early evening, but just in case, I will probably vote late morning/early afternoon (EST).

Anyway, it's super late so I must go. It's up to everyone else now to post, and perhaps we'll make it to five pages by morning, though I'm not sure since it's emptied out in here and will probably be dead for the next few hours...

I know I'm leaping here, but it's possible the bear was unnerved by her 'wanting' to lynch Phantom. Oh wait, Fea's dead already.

Really, though, I've got nothing.

I think what Hakon was saying is that if something happened like the seer revealed the werebear, then perhaps we could leave him alive to either have him kill a wolf or have the wolves waste their kill on him (as they may be worried that he will kill one of them) come Night. Then we can spend the Day hunting a wolf instead. I don't know if it's an idea I'd go for, but it's not stupid. We can't expect the bear to listen to us, even if exposed, so it'd be all about luck. If the bear killed a wolf, it be more likely he did without intentionally trying, and the wolves would probably only waste a kill on the bear if their numbers were down or they had a reason to think the bear would pick one of them as his kill.

I think you all are being rather harsh on Hakon. While he hasn't caught on as quickly as some newbies, I don't think he's intentionally trying to be confusing or irritating; he probably really just doesn't understand all the rules. And while that doesn't mean he's necessarily innocent, not understanding something is no reason to attack someone. I know for some old-timers this confusion can get irritating, but you should give everyone a chance to learn. Let's not drive our newbies away from this site, okay?

So the first Night the bear killed Hakon and then last Night they kill someone who was defending him? A pattern? A veteran player who didn't agree with Brinn's point of view on the kid? Heck, for all I know it's a newbie who didn't like that Brinn said newbies can be annoying. (Don't mean that in a bad way, but you never know.) Still, this would point to a very irrational werebear so there must be a better reason for a kill than just supporting Hakon. Did they perhaps think Brinn was Hakon's BFF? (Need to check the rules to see if that theory's even valid, so don't take my word on it of course.)

I don't see what wrong with voting Fea if you don't have any other candidates available. She may or may not be evil, but the body count will rack up quickly enough as it is with two deaths per Night, so we might as well prevent any extra deaths due to modfire. Yeah, we have killed baddies on Day One in the past, but the chances we will lynch the bear toDay in order to bring the Night kills down to one are pretty slim. And anyway, I have to go now and I might not return. Considering I have no viable suspects at the moment, who else am I to vote for? I really don't feel like randomly voting another player, so I might as well vote someone who will die anyway. Either that or not vote anyone.

It seems most of you think voting Fea is bad choice. So tell me, would you rather have me make a No Vote instead? I would imagine that would be even less useful, but please enlighten me. I do apologise I can't make a reasonable vote due to my early departure, but I do have a life after all and I am horrible at finding anyone suspicious on Day One as it is, especially this early in the Day...

So....she agrees with Phantom about lynching Fea, because our odds of hitting the bear are slim and that way we don't kill a goodie. It seems odd to me that the bear would kill someone who was....not helping them, really, but ensuring that they didn't get lynched that day. This seems more and more like a random bear (as in a bear that kills for the reaction, not to win) but that seems wrong.

Correcting me, I believe, but nothing really of substance that could hint to the bear about anything.

Heh.

Originally Posted by Brinniel

Maybe the bear was afraid Brinn would randomly vote for them at some point? Heck if I know. Also, given her lower post count it's possible that the bear is someone she's played with a lot and they thought her quieter nature was indicative of her being gifted. But if I was a bear I'd be looking to get rid of wolves more than gifteds (especially with the seer gone) so I don't know what the bear's thinking.

Originally Posted by Brinniel

Well don't bother analysing my vote regardless of who it's for. If it's not a no vote or for Fea, then it'll be randomly for someone else. Unless I have time to return and find a real suspect.

Heh. Read my opinion of her last post.

Originally Posted by Brinniel

I was just saying that because the main argument for not voting Fea seemed to be so we could eliminate the threat of two kills per Night immediately and the only way to do that is to kill the bear since it'll take multiple Days to lynch the wolves down to zero. While it's difficult to kill a baddie on Day One as it is and we'll most likely lynch an innocent, if we do kill a baddie, it's more likely we'd find a wolf and not the bear since they are larger in numbers. Of course lynching a wolf would be great, but it won't reduce the number of kills per Night.

And again....why would the bear kill her for that? Blah.

Originally Posted by Brinniel

Probably because there was an entire Day last game that seemed to be mostly focused on me because apparently my vote on Day One was most suspicious...and I almost got lynched for it.

And of course I was innocent.

Again, not much to go on, so....erm, yeah.

Originally Posted by Brinniel

But fine. Since I know you all will give me a bunch of crap if I vote Fea, I won't. So my vote will be random instead.

++morm

There. Now I don't want to hear any crap about it since it seems you all were asking I vote for someone random instead of a soon-to-be-dead player. And so I have. And at least it's better than voting Hakon who I think is an easy lynch for Day One.

I might be back and able to change my vote, but don't count on it.

You don't suppose....I mean, Morm wouldn't really be that obvious, would he?

But seriously, people. How could you let this happen? Any innocents who voted Pitchwife, or simply contributed towards his lynching, I hope you've given yourselves a good spanking.

After the events of yesterDay and his reaction toDay, I'm almost inclined to trust the phantom. Of course, that probably means he's evil.

Won't say much more tonight, as it is very late. I might post some in the morning and will definitely be around at some point in the evening...and I think I should be here for deadline this time.


*I just saw the show on Broadway last night and when I heard this line sung, I sensed it may become relevant to this game. So of course I just had to mention it.

First of all, the bear needs to die for killing her before we could discuss the show.

On a serious note, she's (of course) saying that we're silly for lynching Pitch, and she's trusting Phantom, but this was a village wide mood, so why her?

Sorry for my absence; I'm moving out of my apartment soon and have been busy enjoying my final days in NYC.

So the bear is killing (no offense to either Hakon or Brinn) people who aren't being helpful? Clearly the bear is Boro and he wants deeper discussion! Really, though, I can't see how it helps the bear to kill someone who doesn't have time to participate. It's possible they knew Brinn is a threat left alive and so they killed her before she could do anything of real use to the village, but I'm not sure.

No idea who to vote for. It seems like most of the top candidates for lynching aren't even here, which makes me nervous.

Still nothing really to go on, if you ask me.

And again. Would Morm be this obvious? (By this I mean the tie between him and Dun, which I think was still in tact at the time.)

And again. Supports the theory that it could be Morm trying to silence Brinn before she can point out his flaws. Or it could be a setup by the bear to make us think that. Either way, Morm's of interest whether he's the scapegoat or he's eating it.

I know I had something more to say but I lost it. It boils down to this. Brinn didn't say much, and her (granted mostly random) votes were both for Morm. I think Morm's not that transparent, but it could either be a setup from the bear or Morm could assume that we'd think that highly of him and use it against us. Or, sadly, it could still just be random.

(Blah, all of that to say I don't know? I feel cheated.)

Sally, you don't know me do you? Yes I would be that obvious if it suited me but I would also be very subtle if it suited me, or I'd set up an obvious frame. However, I am not the bear so I did not get such a choice.

I am only to this post on the reading but this post did not dissuade me of my Sally suspicion. It is big and long but not a lot of substance.

I am going to make an effort to shift my focus, I've been known (many times) to get so wrapped up in one person that I get tunnel vision. I would like to refresh my view and look at a couple others.

It was a rhetorical question, Morm dear. I know you can act however you please and I've always had trouble reading you so when I find something so obviously suspicious it strikes me as ood....erm, odd. And of course you may not be the bear; you may be an ordo or a gifted. Or you may be a wolf, which would make a lot of sense to me as well.

I had a busy day so far, and I feel a bit out of the game, but at least I'm here now.

All I have to say is that Alona's defense in 838 doesn't convince me much.

Both Alona and morm think my Nerwen-comment is interesting, but neither contributed anything to it, so I'm taking their agreemen with suspicion.

Not sure hat to think of Autume at the moment. She could be a very good cobbler or a clueless innocent. (Either that, or the entire village consists of very good cobblers and clueless innocents, which is usually more likely than than we'd like to admit.)

There are far too few people I feel comfortable to trust at the moment. I'm really confused, and willing to lynch Sally since most of the confusion toDay seems to be revolving around her. I'm far too confused about her to contribute anything beyond a vote. I wish I could make up my mind about her... Her death would make the game easier, but I'm more suspicious of Alona and collectively the half of the village I have not the faintest clue about.

Okay, so here's my newbie attempt at analyzing someone I've only played with one before... when I played with Nerwen last game, I was suspicious of her because of the way she got into such a heated fight so early on with Fea, which eventually turned out to just be innocent-on-innocent. I'm getting much the same vibe from her as I did last game, though with far less suspicion. So at this point, I'm leaning towards innocent.

You know interesting enough, when I was watching the puppy over the weekend I saw this dark blue butterfly. I was going to take a picture of it for the Dark Monarch...maybe even photoshop a boot in there and smash it, but by the time I got my phone and back outside, I couldn't find it.

Really, ok I must stop now...I can't be goaded this easily...maybe I should return to Starbucks there's a good offer after 3 pm today if I hand them a receipt

++Alon

Of the 3 tied she's it for me.

[satansaloser2005]

Oh screw it.


--Morm

++Dun


I don't find Alona that suspicious right now. Sorry for the re-tie.



EDIT: x'd with Alona. Now I'm the idiot.

[Lariren Shadow]

Does the not highlighted count?

[Macalaure]

Durelin's vote doesn't count right now!
