Aren't you? Aren't you really?

See, now I'm considering this.

Hey, I have two friends who are more than willing to rip up people on my say so! Who do you think the Alpha was in the narrations?

Job requirements: obey Shasta. I knew I was glad I wasn't a wolf!

EDIT: xed with Agan and I really do have to go now, but I shall return before DL.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Hey, everything I've said until now? Just a product of a crazy Shasta's tormented imagination. I'm just an ordo and wanted reactions. Really. I promise. *nodnod*

[Kath]

Question: If sally's the BW ... double lynch possible?

Also (and this is a little off topic but still) - did we not have a discussion about the language in werewolf games when we were all talking about it a while back? Only there seems to be a fair amount of low level swearing going on.

I'm not going to be around much this evening. Exhausted. Will try to keep up and will definitely vote.

Does this explain why you attacked both the Barrow-Wight and Butterbur? (I mean, your psychic powers and all.)

Nope, in case of a tie there's a coin flip. It's good because otherwise yesterday would almost have been a catastrophe, but it's bad in a situation like this.

Which makes me wonder again about Kath. Her question about the conditions of a tie notwithstanding, it was her vote that sealed TEW's fate yesterDay.

[Kath]

I should also mention the end of yesterDay. I cross posted with everything from the post that contained the list of potential lynch candidates that is within my vote post. I had no idea it was a tie until I posted and realised I'd broken it.

EDIT: Ah, which I think answers Inzil.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Love you, Shasticle!

[Boromir88]

The wolves were feeling down from the loss of their fallen comrade. They wanted a messy blood-soaked evening tonight to make up for the day. Even with Ranger lynched, the Seer dealt with, and Butterbur's enchanted ale finally wearing off it seemed like the wolves still had an uphill climb to win. There was afterall Bombadil, and that nuisance of a Barrow-wight.

"I hope Bombadil listened to our dearly beloved Shasta yesterday." said one of the wolves.

"I can't believe we are seeking the help of that feather-capped buffoon." snarled the other wolf.

"Yes, but Bombadil is no trouble to us during the night, the Wight has been a pain and we need his help to get rid of that pain. Don't worry my tasty-looking darling, once he takes care of the Wight, his use is up and we'll feast on that yellow-booted ninny next. In the mean time, Inzil looks good to me. You?"

"Mmm I could go for some Inzil 'N chips right now indeed."

The wolves approached Inziladun's room and it was still a frosty chill in the air. It appears the Wight had chosen its victim and just left. When the wolves entered the room, their thoughts were confirmed. Inzil lay on the bed as limp as a deboned fish.

"Oh boo...that takes the fun out of it. He was such a feisty hyena during the day. I was looking forward to eating him." pouted one of the wolves.

"Think of it as a fridge." shrugged the other wolf. "He's kept nice and fresh for us, we can make this a messy all-night affair."

Meanwhile....

Hey Dol! Merry ole Bombadillo!
Where be that Wighty-o!?
Oh-hey-o found you have Bombadillo.

"No fair!" shrieked sally. "You would never have found me had that weasel Shasta-wolf not given me up!"

Makes no difference to Bombadillo!
Wighty back to your grave you go!

In a village of 9: 2 wolves, Ferney, Bombadil, and 5 ordos remain

(I wanted it a bit longer and more epic for our departed Miss Wight, but about 15 minutes before DL my connection went out - must have been that nasty Wight anyway and I lost most the narration.)

Have I hit an ordo yet? Answer - nooooo.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Okay, I'm going with a tentative "no" on the "reveal Bombadil" plan. Is this right, wolf brethren? Cobblercode for "yes, don't reveal" and Giftedcode for "no, do reveal".

[Nerwen]

Back again. I haven't had time to re-read everything, but from the last few posts it appears that my heart of hearts has decided to confess. There, there, dearest, it feels so much better now, doesn't it?

Anyway–

Hope he's telling the truth about Sally. Would love to think the wolves are silly enough to try a coded message right when we're all looking for one.

Well as I said I think the chances are fairly good he is - the wolves should have no reason to not reveal the BW. And me too, although I'd take everything Shasta says with a pinch of salt because he knows he's going down.

[Loslote]

No way I'm the first person to post.

Butbut...yay for SallyWight being deadful.

Butbutbut...one thing that jumped out at me from yesterDay was this:

which seems to indicate that the other two wolves are people who are more likely to let Shasta take the lead. Of course, he may be throwing us a bit of a red herring, but it's something to take into consideration, and would tend to implicate people like Formy, Eomer, and Pitchie as opposed to people like Agan and maybe Kath...chances are it doesn't mean much, though.

I wouldn't want to pay too much attention to what an exposed wolf says. True, he was telling the truth about Sally *blows Shasta a kiss* but then she wasn't one of his comrades. There's no way of telling whether that's a bluff, a double-bluff, or what. Probably not an accidental slip, anyway.

–So apparently the wolves think they know who Bombadil is. Or is that just a flight of fancy for narration purposes, plus bluffing on Shasta's part?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I had marked Inziladun down as innocent so the kill doesn't surprise me. Obviously, everyone should go analyse Shasta's posts to see his interaction with other villagers.

It could mean something, but Pitch and I both have plenty more posts than Kath, so not sure how you draw this conclusion.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I guess our remaining villains are Green, Formendacil and Kath; though only a fool would gladly give Nerwen the benefit of the doubt.

[wilwarin538]

Wow, our first dead ordo (on Night 5, how odd).

Actually the narration from Night 5 referred to all of the wolves as Alpha, and I don't think Shasta would give a hint like that anyway. He was asking them for permission to do something yesterDay (with his little code), if he was in charge he would have just done it instead of finding out if it was ok.

I have a really crazy day today with school and work, and my computer keeps acting up so I may not be able to come on at school if it happens again (and going on here on my iPod is annoying, so anything I do say will be very brief). This will likely be a very bad day for me to participate.

Seconded. Kudos to Tom!

Dear Eomer, what she means is that you and Pitch are totally not Alpha-worthy wolves.

Where did it refer to them as Alpha? The only thing I noticed about it was the lack of mention of Alpha... It's probably not a very important thing to pursue though, if there's an Alpha it's more likely some twist of Boro's than something the wolf pack has decided based on who form it.
I wonder why Shasta did not do as he threatened, though... The most likely scenario is that he just wanted to confuse us - at least I can't see any possible hints in anyone's interaction with him.

I'll go through Shasta's posts when I get home (I'm sitting on the tram, and although the public transport wireless works just fine, this is not the easiest place to type).
