Game Thread: TIG XCII - Disaster by the Lake

[Boromir88]

Dawn came again for most of the villagers of Lake-town, but as the previous dawn, it was a red one. And all understood that meant there was at least another death in the night.

"Where's the shepherd?" asked Bom as the townsfolk began to gather together again.

"He likes keeping his flock closer to the mountains." said Galadriel55. "He's got a further walk. Or maybe he's still asleep?"

Most looked as if they wanted to believe her, but Nerwen had already began to tear up and the rest knew he was likely the next victim. As if they were led against their will, the people made their way towards the mountains.

There was no sign of Pitch, but huddled around in a circle were his flock of sheep. sally broke through the wall of baaa's and wool to find Pitch bloody and maimed on the grass. It was clear the werewolves got to him and the sheep were lamenting over their shepherd, or they were just dumb sheep.

"How odd?" chuckled the Undertaker. "Who knew a pack of wolves that didn't like sheep?"

The Undertaker may have been right, but the people of Esgaroth understood now...they were the sheep. The Shepherd was another ordo, but time was running out if they didn't find the wolf-pack quickly.

LIVING

Bom...Cobbler.
Galadriel55...Cook.
Greenie...Undertaker.
Kitanna...Cooper.
Loslote...Candlestick Maker.
Nogrod...Wine-maker from Dorwiniondil.
Nerwen...Town crier.
Sally...most prestigious Musician and Poet of Lake-town.
Shasta...Notable miscreant.

DEAD

Boro...King's Secretary - Night 1
Inziladun...Furrier (Ordo) - Day 1
Kath...Baker (Ordo) - Night 2.
Agan...Baker's wife (Ordo) - Day 2
Pitch...Shepherd (Ordo) - Night 3

It's now Day 3.

And I was worried there wouldn't be enough Ordos in this village.

[Galadriel55]

Noooo!!! What has our shepherd ever done to you wolves? He's not a boy, and he didn't cry "wolf"...

Or did he? I'm going over his posts.

[satansaloser2005]

Galadriel, please answer a question for me.

Are you an ordo? Or do you have a specific role? Please don't say which one, and of course don't expect me to necessarily believe you, but answer nonetheless.

What kind of question is this? We're all ordos here, remember? It's just that some of us secretly aren't, and they won't tell you about it. I'm just as ordinary as you are, or seem, or try to seem. And if you're sensible you wouldn't pay too much attention to that last sentence, because everyone would tell you that, regardless of role.

What exactly is the point of your question? And what did you expect for an answer?

And I smell something in your post. If you ask a person to tell you if they have a special role, you might as well ask which one. Like it helps anyone if it's kept quiet. Why does your post alarm me so much? (rhetorical question)




Anyways. I've skimmed the thread and found nothing extraordinary (no pun intended) about our deceased shepherd - may he rest in peace - except that he suspected Kit strongly enough to vote her, but gave her a pass for RL reasons. I'm not sure that it means anything, but that's that.

Nog, on the other hand, is more clear. I doubt he expects to live through toDay, but time will tell. He could be a wolf trying to look like a cobbler, but this is unlikely since he knew he'd be revealed after Agan's death. An even more unlikely possibility is that he's an innocent who was sure he caught Agancobbler and was impersonating the Seer and killing two hares at the same time (getting rid of the cobbler and protecting the real Seer). The likeliest option is that he's a cobbler who impersonated the Seer who labeled Agan with his own role, thus ensuring his death - but helping the wolves tremendously. And we cannot afford to lose more people.

Looking at the numbers, we have a ratio of 1:1:1 of ordos to wolves to gifteds. We have 1/3 chance of lynching either one. We have to choose very carefully toDay.

[Galadriel55]

ToDay I will just pretend to be deaf to his posts and try my best to ignore his comments. If he's serving for the evil side (which I'm almost 100% sure he is) he'll try to use all kinds of tricks on us before he dies (if he dies, but he'll use them either way), and personally I don't want my mind muddled with reverse psychology and associations and whatnot from him. He sure knows how to confuse people. I don't want to be led around by him to a wrong direction.

[satansaloser2005]

"Let me tell you what's been going on- No, there's too much, it would take too long. Let me distill it for you."

We have nine villagers remaining. Those villagers are:

Shasta
Bom
Nog
Sally
Galadriel
Greenie
Kitanna
Loslote
Nerwen

Among those villagers are the following:

Three werewolves
One seer
One ranger
One hunter
Two ordos

I think our best option four toDay is, well, the obvious.

Massive reveals, everyone? If so, I'd be happy to start (or rather, finish).

[Nerwen]

I don't know, Sally– I'd say we could end up with a nasty mess of competing reveals. There's still four baddies around.

Judging by this and your

Kill me, and I can almost assure you there will only be three.

Either you're very furry or you're doing exactly as a cobbler should by trying to create mass confusion. Because a round of revealings would do just that.
