All?

Well, there was very little activity here so far. I got to go write an exam, but I'll be back in a few hours. I hope more people show up!

[Thinlómien]

Hiya all. Pitch, I suggest adding me to your suspicion list, for making the obligatory "sorry Day1 will be crappy for me but I'll be around more on Day2" post. In other words, I was pretty ill all weekend and I still don't feel at my sharpest right now (plus I might still have guests coming to entertain me) so I'm not sure how much I will be around this evening, and during the latter half of the day I will be sleeping and at work... Keeping an eye on the thread.

edit: apparently xed with Gal

[Meneltarmacil]

Oh dear, if I'd known this would have happened, I'd have returned to Bree-land at once. Now I'm stuck in a tavern in an unfamiliar town with people bent on lynching anyone who looks vaguely suspicious.

In any case, I suggest that if we have had no luck for the next few days and innocents die instead of wolves, we look at those who have been pushing them to their deaths. The most dangerous werewolf is an influential one, after all.

Also, would anyone care to buy a magic amulet that scares off werewolves*? It's only 10 shiremarks and works like a charm.

*conveniently unmentioned note: may not really be magic, use at own risk

Thirteen hobbits on the wall,
who's the wolf among them all,
gotta catch 'em all.

I must unfortunately second Lommy, since toDay will be even worse for me. I have two exams right after each other tomorrow, and they are right before the DL (or almost. If I am right in counting the clock and the DL is 2 PM my time, then I should be able to appear just before it, but I probably won't be able to proofread the whole thread - or, depending on its size). Anyway, even in general because of this I don't know how much I will be around toDay, I'll probably pop in still in a couple of hours, but then nothing for a long time until DL. In other words, my performance toDay will be close to zero, but better than nothing, I guess.

So far, there's probably nothing much to react to, but I guess there is still time. If I was supposed to call anything suspicious, then it's the low to no-content from Zil and Pitch, being the players they are, I'd have maybe expected the two of them to be more... hmm... serious. But there's hardly anything much more this far.

EDIT: x-ed with Menel.

[Kath]

Ok prior warning - I'll be voting very early! Like about half the Day early. So if for any reason I've not voted by 11pm I'm very unlikely to turn back up.

Can we boost discussion toDay a bit somehow? Perhaps some conversation about the roles? This cobbler role is really interesting and I missed some of the discussion on it. If the cobbler chooses the Seer or the Ranger and thus disrupts their role - presumably the narration is going to say that the Seer didn't dream or the Ranger didn't protect. Will it be clear that this is due to the Cobbler - meaning the Cobbler will know the role of the person they picked?

[Aganzir]

GUILTY
Pitchwife - Fake golden dragon claw on the counter? I can't see a way this does not scream "Get your fancy footwear from me!" Aaand he's 'a hypocrite to boot'!
Legate - Six lines about his incapacity to post, three about the concerning lack of seriousness on Pitch and Zilly's part.
Inzil - two lines of 'obligatory IC'. Why is IC obligatory? He's a conformist and tries to avoid suspicion by behaving in a way you 'should' behave.
Kath - Ooh Kath wants to talk about the cobbler! There's a girl to my liking. I don't think it will be said in the narration though, I think the cobbler will only be notified she hit a gifted. However, who would have a reason to be so interested in the cobbler?
G55 - stares. 'Tis rude.

INNOCENT

EITHER
Lommy - sick person.
Menel - I came up with lots of things to say. They all sounded silly so I deleted them and won't say anything yet.
Shasta
Glirdan
Nerwen
Nog
sally

My my it feels good to be playing again.

Also, I have chamomile and heather to help you sleep. Mint and maté and ginger if you need an energizer. Medicinal mushrooms for vivid dreams. Wolfberries, herbal compounds and teas. All purchases will be handled with the strictest confidence. Get yours today.

This is kind of obvious - actually, a little too obvious for my taste. Or should it be read as "Hear me, packmates, and keep a low profile while we help the loudmouths lynch each other"?

Actually, what it does scream is "gratuitous Skyrim reference"; but your reading almost makes me wish I were the cobbler and had thought of such a hint.

Agreed about the narration, it's bad enough that the cobbler finds out that his pick is gifted without the narration pointing out the exact role. But I don't think the cobbler xyrself would be so interested in the matter to speculate about it on the thread, if that's what you were insinuating- I suppose xe'd rather clear up the technicalities of xyr role with Modanna behind the scenes.

I'm no wolf, nor do I help them. The wolves involved in these lynchings need not be particularly loud, nor is every innocent lynched only by wolves.

However, even if innocents are lynching innocents, you can bet that there will be at least one wolf making sure his fellows aren't going to the noose. Whether he is making the major arguments himself or merely reinforcing those made by the gullible, I still expect a wolf or two to be involved when multiple innocents are lynched in a row.

Psh. Never played Skyrim.

Nopes and that's not what I thought. Rather, it would be in the wolves' interest to bring attention to the cobbler. Now it's me who's a hypocrite to boot though, considering my eternal love for discussing the cobbler's role and tactics. But I'm still allowed to accuse everyone else who does it.

Hear hear!

I hear they're nutritious. Regular consumption will make you fit enough to fight wolves single-handedly. Would you like to try some?

Elaboration on how the narrative will reflect a block would indeed be useful. I'd also like to add that with the Cobbler's extra abilities this go around, there ought not to be anyone saying something "Leave X be; just a Cobbler".

Meh, I don't see that. Though I've never played with Menel before, I know I've made similar statements as an innocent many times (and been suspected, naturally ).

At least Pitch is vocal. That's useful.

Unless the Cobbler has it in xyr mind to hint to the wolves. After all, xe still has to avoid Night-kill.
