Yeah! Great point. You see kids, that slightly sad hopeless Adam and Eve staring through locked gate attitude to the Dead Thread is useful after all...

DNA was discovered because it cast a shadow. Just because I can't look at the thing (the contents of the dead thread) doesn't mean I can't look at the shadow (who posted, how many times, and when).

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Which is, by the way:

Shasta 29
Manwe 12
Rikae 9
Mac 1

[Rikae]

Um, Fea, maybe posting the links to the posts is a bit much?

Edit: Ah, I see you've taken them out already.

I hit copy/paste and didn't realize I was linking to the posts until I submitted the reply. All better.

Another great asset is that phantom looks golden - but if the wolves kill him, Nogrod will be a pariah in the Dead Thread. Now it's the wolves who have to make the tough calls...

Oh, but can you imagine the bickering that would go on between the two of them once dead?

[Nogrod]

So remember guys, the phantom is a cobbler

You will lose Agan anyway.



You should think how easily people voted toDay... who initiated, who followed and how?

Boro, Mith, Ang, Greenie - people you should be wary of...

[Nogrod]

You've just lost the lovers and the seer. Lynch the ranger next. Really...

[Rikae]

Cold and lonely was the day for Beren Camlost (apart from the occasional heated argument with the Elves), and he longed for the company of his sweet Tinúviel. Yet she was gone, not to return for many an age. In his tormented dreams Beren pleaded to Mandos, the Lord of the Dead, bid him to let Lúthien stay with him just one more day, and it seemed to him as if the Vala was answering him:

"Thingol's daughter indeed shall return to the living and remain with you and your companions for one more day. But then you both shall return to my halls to dwell here until your spirits are healed."

"In the meantime, your love and her fellow dead wish to give to you, as a sign of their trust, to have your vote doubled in your quest to slay the evil that has beset you."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the day progressed, no clear bandwagon emerged... there was no one person, it seemed, who looked particularly evil, no one person on whom many could agree; Boromir, Wilwa, phantom and Nessa each received one vote, while nine elves pointed to Nogrod. Tension was high. The lynch hung by a thread.

"As time here..." Nogrod began, then coughed: "I mean, I am the seer. Aganzir is indeed Beren. phantom is a phabbler."

"No, I'm not Beren - I'm Lúthien!" laughed Aganzir, pulling off her false beard.

Nogrod contined to stare fixedly in the other direction, mumbling something about helping from the halls of Mandos.
"He's lying! Kill him!" shouted the others. Not nine, but ten arrows struck the bewildered looking Nogrod in the
back. The tenth was Aganzir's, and it could be argued that it was absolutely essential.

Nogrod fell to his knees, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "You will have to beg me to reveal my dreams!" he
cried.

"Actually, I was Beren all along" Aganzir added, pulling off his false chin and revealing a beard. "Not that it matters."

When the company turned back toward their campsite, they noticed that one of their number was missing without a trace.
Perhaps Blind Guardian had also gone to Mandos; time would only tell if her voice would be heard there.

Night 3 has begun. Nocturnal people, be active.

Note: Blind Guardian has been modfired; however, I have made the unilateral modly decision to re-assign her
role. One of you will be receiving your new role by PM toNight.

[Macalaure]

The night of sleep the Elves got after a day of stressful debate was wholesome, except for one of them. They woke up to see the green fields stained red and covered with the bits and pieces of one of their own. The Elves looked around to see any sign of which one of them met this gruesome fate, but could not find anything that even vaguely resembled Elvenkind anymore. At last they looked at each other: It was Fea who was missing.

------------------------

But all dread was swiftly forgotten as the most fair and graceful being of all Middle-earth walked amongst them once more. Shasta had returned from the dead, to bring back light and hope for all. They joy of Shasta and Aganzir was more than words can say. The Elves' hearts were lifted and ears opened to hear the tale of the dead that Shasta was going tell them.

Nightly activites are to stop. The posting may begin again.

Before I even begin to delve into the new day, first things first...

Shasta- what's it like down there? Anything funny or interesting to tell?

Yay for the song! I thought about quoting it yesterday but decided to go with the Lay of Leithian.

By the way, we can probably assume that whatever BG might have been, she's now an ordo. I'm not sure if it's against the point of the game, but I think it would be fair to know if she was a wolf (because it would mean an innocent just turned into one).

Oh and I also wonder about Fea's death. I can think of one reason she might have been killed off the top of my head, but will have to go through her posts first.

[Aganzir]

I suppose I could vote for Nessa, just because last time I didn't I lived to regret it. My top choice is Boro, though. I rather didn't lynch Lommy now, and if I had to choose between the two, I'd vote for Nessa because Lomz is more vocal and leaves therefore more trails. I suppose there isn't enough support for a Greenie lynch, and I don't have quite enough against ed to merit a vote. Hmm.

Going to take a shower now and will vote after it.
