Tol-in-Guarhoth CIX - Ten Year Anniversary Game: Dead Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Aganzir · 06-08-2015, 04:23 PM

How about we just leave. Go quiet. Say nothing. Dead.

If we stop talking, perhaps they'll realise it's not going to work and we're not doing it.

the phantom · 06-08-2015, 04:24 PM

I'll go silent. We'll see.

Loslote · 06-08-2015, 04:26 PM

Looks like they're settling in for a nice, long discussion about what the best way to make this list is.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-08-2015, 04:28 PM

With Nog here. I mean I would even give the benefit of doubt to our resident Wolves, but there are still at least two of them, and maybe it is time for experiments, but Nerwen already does have one vote, and I'd at least want to make it so that we aren't overruled in voting.

Aganzir · 06-08-2015, 04:29 PM

Whatever info scheme the village can think of, Nerwen is our safest bet. Even if they spend half the DAY talking about it, it's still least chance they'll interpret it as meaning something it doesn't.

Rikae · 06-08-2015, 04:30 PM

It's dinnertime here, so I won't be able to help explode either for a bit.

I also have a bad feeling that wolf-Form and/or wolf-Eomer are well aware and laughing at us.

Kuruharan · 06-08-2015, 04:30 PM

Some bizarre compulsion is driving me to point out that you guys just filled an entire page in less than half an hour.

GOOD. I hope that helps them realise the idiocy of leaving this for the last couple of hours.

Much love to the living,

Probably both.

We are the champions, my friend.

My hopes that this game will go down in legend have some chance of being fulfilled.

Lommy is being poetic! Form and morm, Mith and Kath!

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-08-2015, 04:33 PM

About them checking the Dead thread - even if they are checking, who is checking it? How many of them are online? And how much? And would they share their observation with the rest? (Wolves wouldn't.)

They won't notice that we "exploded" - I doubt that. Since they can't check the thread, I doubt they are refreshing the page every half a minute, they won't be able to tell if in the last five minutes it was one, three, five or ten new posts.

Silence is the only way we can communicate, and that requires at least an hour of silence or something. Preferably more.

So yeah. I think Nerwen it is, and let's hope for the best. Also for the best lynch from the villagers.

Rikae · 06-08-2015, 04:26 PM

I was actually thinking the opposite, that if they saw us exploding after Form's suggestion they'd realize it was a problem.

Hahaha!

To be fair, it didn't look like sabotage to me, just a miscommunication!

Yeah that's true I suppose. It's just that I won't have time to explode for very much longer.

They won't.

SO in a minute I'm voting unless there is a strong argument why not.

Nogrod · 06-08-2015, 04:27 PM

We'd need to be silent for an hour or so that it would be even imagined as seen for a sign of something. Really.

They don't watch the numbers of our posts continually - even if the phantom posts here.

Nogrod · 06-08-2015, 04:29 PM

I'm done.

++ Nerwen

Good night and good luck!
