TIG LXIX: Meeting at the House of Usher - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-07-2009, 07:24 PM

Once upon a cold November, while I ventured to remember,
The many quaint and curious demands of the mods of yours--
When I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my iChat door.
"'Tis my Nienna," I muttered, "tapping at my iChat door--
telling me to rhyme some more."

Why thank you, but flattery will get you nowhere. We have eyes only for each other.

Now, saying that my darling Fea was not cute was bad enough. But voting for her as well? Well, that's the last straw.

Deadline. Stop posting.

Mirandir · 11-07-2009, 11:06 PM

McCaber has been lynched. He was a wolf.

It is now Night 4.

Mirandir · 11-08-2009, 11:00 PM

So this one time I epically fail as a mod and haven't had time to do any of the narrations. They are coming, I promise.

On a related note, Pitchwife was killed. He was an ordo.

It is now Day 4. Discuss.

satansaloser2005 · 11-08-2009, 11:02 PM

*loves the moddess(es) anyway*

On a less related note, I need some sleep. Oh, and I realize I left Pitch out of my list yesterDay; it was a complete oversight because I wasn't well. Sorry about that.

To bed with me now. Yay for the lynch on Cabbie, as he was my other top suspect (still, Roa is my first) and I'm glad to know I got something right for once. Maybe if I get some sleep it'll happen again.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-08-2009, 11:06 PM

So.

How 'bout that Night discussion?

I bet it was riveting.

*chokes on water* Fea, I love you.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-08-2009, 11:11 PM

Now, now, Mira, there are better things to be choking on at 12:11 AM. Don't hurt yourself.

Mirandir · 11-08-2009, 11:16 PM

Not so much when I'm at work, unfortunately. People need to be around to amuse me. Kthx.

Isn’t she just adorable.

So, matters remain in the balance and we remain neutral (though open to offers). It's a shame really, as yesterDay’s voting record is a real juicy one, just ripe for analysis.

Here it is anyway, as it is traditional for me to post it:

Roa -> Nerwen (Nerwen - 1)
Roa -- Nerwen -> Fea (Fea - 1)
Loslote -> McCaber (Fea - 1, McCaber - 1)
Nogrod -> McCaber (Fea - 1, McCaber - 2)
SPM -> Roa (Fea - 1, McCaber - 2, Roa - 1)
Sally -> Roa (Fea - 1, McCaber - 2, Roa - 2)
Inzil -> McCaber (Fea - 1, McCaber - 3, Roa - 2)
Nerwen -> McCaber (Fea - 1, McCaber - 4, Roa - 2)
Brinn -> McCaber (Fea - 1, McCaber - 5, Roa - 2)
Fea -> Roa (Fea - 1, McCaber - 5, Roa - 3)

Did not vote: Pitch, McCaber

Make of it what you will.

Edit: I left my beloved off the voting record. How could I forget her!

Nerwen · 11-09-2009, 05:02 AM

Thanks for the list, SPM.

Now, I said yesterDay evening that Roa and Sally were unlikely to both be wolves, but that was silly. At the time Sally voted, only Fea, Roa and McWolfer had votes and it was only five minutes to DL. So if she's a wolf and Roa and McCaber her packmates, she'd have known one of them was going down whatever she did.

This is not an accusation– I'm merely saying there's no particular reason Sally's vote on Roa couldn't have been wolf-on-wolf.

Nerwen · 11-09-2009, 05:22 AM

Well, then. From my point of view, three of these people must be wolves:

Roa
Loslote
Nogrod
Sally
Inzil
Brinn

Which means that at least one wolf has a.) managed to attract little or no suspicion and b.) helped lynch McWolfer. And for it to be only one, Roa and Sally would have to be the other two.

If it's neither of them, the pack would have to include three out of the group of Loslote, Nogrod Brinn and Inzil. (It must include at least one of them.)

Roa_Aoife · 11-08-2009, 11:23 PM

Alright, posting before bed.

First and foremost- to Fea and SPM, while I can't say I'm happy with your choices in strategy, I do owe you an apology. I was rude and it was inexcusable. You have a right to play however you want, and while as a villager I may be unhappy, as a player I should respect your choice.

To those who suspect me:

Your reasons are what? I lost my temper? Because that's so out of character for me? At the time, it looked to me like Fea and SPM had thrown their chips in with the wolves, so no matter what we would lose. I wanted to punish them for that. My mentality was one of "If I'm going down, I'm taking them with me."

Yes, my vote for Nerwen was a shot in the dark. I had only one suspect at the beginning of the Day, and that was Fea. My last two posts were made as my guest (Craydon) was literally trying to pull me away from my keyboard so we wouldn't be late. Loslote, you accuse me of splitting the vote, but no one else had voted at that point. Had you voted, I'd have followed you since I believe you to be innocent, especially with how you handled Fea and SPM's coming out and subsequent statement of non-cooperation. But no one had voted, and I had no suspects. How was I supposed to vote with the village when the village hadn't voted?

Yes, McCaber was a wolf (and now we are in the place we were yesterday). I fail to see how that points to me being a wolf.

I'm going to bed. My posting will be about the same as yesterday. (In quantity, hopefully not in quality.)

Edit: Crossed with Fea's first post down.

The village would hardly have voted for Fea, would it? Or me either, I should think. Did you really expect people (innoccent-type people, anyway) to follow either of those votes?

Because Fea, presumably the intended lynchee, had just become a known innocent and McWolfer was next in line to the gallows. Therefore if you were a wolf you would need to put forward another candidate in a hurry.

I don't say you are a wolf, mind. You seemed to panic at the Lovers' reveal, in a way that could have been either that of a wolf or of a frustrated innocent.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-08-2009, 11:19 PM

I shall now reenact the way I believe the Nightly discussion must have gone:

Wolf #1: Alas, poor Dead!Wolf. Also, OH MY GODZ TEH FEAZ AND SPAMIE CAN HAZ BE EVILZ???!!?

Wolf #2: I nohwz! We can haz FeaSpamie vote of epik awesome?

Wolf #3: Fea+Spamie might can haz bad motivz and we diez if we says "Hi FeaSpamie!"

Wolves 1-3: *deliberate*

Wolves 1-3: *decide*

Day Occurs.
