That's fine. I understand it just turns your stomach thinking you would have to credit someone of my questionable character if you manage to win this...

I've come to the conclusion you can't without my help. If you feel otherwise, then good luck. My fate is virtually sealed now. What is it that Beorn says? "I don't care much for dwarves, but I hate orcs"

Something of the sort. Replace dwarves with villagers and orcs with wolves and that's where I'm at. I only can help as much as you are willing to accept my offer. No risk. No reward.

Hey Boro, if you're indeed what you claim to be and on the side of the village, cool down. I don't think anyone except Shasta really wants to lynch you toDay, and even he only considers it an option.

You must understand why we can't trust you 100%. I'll give you cookies (or raw meat if that's what you prefer ) for killing Mac for us, though.

Personally I still think we should trust Boro unless Nerwen & co let us know we shouldn't. And we should give them a way to do so, which we didn't toDay, but maybe they will indicate it toMorrow if we do the self-vote Day, or the Day after if it comes and if Boro is alive.

Boro is not our #1 priority toDay.

Unless all the wolves are dead and the game continues until he's killed all of us.

Like, if Boro is a traditional werebear, we should start worrying when there's repeatedly only one Night kill. We're still 10 people so he's not going to win any time soon if he only wins alone. Also, if he really only won alone why wouldn't he have killed someone every Night? It doesn't really add up. Maybe there's something in his role that allows him to win with either side, in which case we should convince him the village is winning and it makes sense for him to side with us, which surprisingly enough actually looks likely atm. *pats Boro on the head* Nice pet bear, good boy. Want more cookies or raw meat now? We are nice little innocent villagers, the wolves are nasty.


edit: xed with Mith and Eomer!

I cannot bear to lynch two of my princes in a row. Besides, I still find Morm more worrisome at this point; Boro could have hid for a while longer rather than bring all this attention on himself.

It's not fair to vote for anyone when I haven't dug into them at all toDay--though if a cursory look at the voting record is accurate, Morm is about to die today. Ah, well, I tried.

Well, since everyone is so quiet....

Form: After playing so long without this young gent, I don't wish him to go, and I don't find him wolfish at the moment, certainly not to the extent McCaber does.
McCaber: Stay out of trouble. I mean it.
Boro: Behave, my boy, and perhaps you'll get a treat in the Morning.
Lommy: Flip flop. Flip flop. (I have nothing. I just wished to say this.)
Eomer: I think we've made the right decision toDay, and hopefully the dead can shed some light on our current predicament and we can all be a happy little family again.
Morm: My condolences, sir, but I wish you well in the afterlife regardless of your role.
Shasta: My psychic wolf boy is rubbing me the wrong way. Are you a naughty boy? You can't be, can you? I'll have to look at you more closely, you sneaky creature.
Mith: Getting into the idea of orchestrating votes for more information, which does put a bit of positive light, but I'm still wary.
Kath: Perhaps the self-vote might be a good idea toMorrow indeed. We shall see. In any case, it's always nice to see a little more Kath.


I entreat the ranger to look upon me with favor this evening, as I rather fear I may be the next target and I have much to say toMorrow (as it will be the weekend, yay!). Until the Morning, my friends.


x'd with the mod (as I apparently lost track of time)

Dark-Eye

It was an eerie day, that's the only way to describe it. The red mist eventually settled on everything...which was unpleasant.

Things just felt weird that day, no doubt. It was almost as if the spirits of the dead were swirling around their heads trying desperately to influence events.

All the inmates felt like they were being watched.

Suddenly, Thinlómien stood up and shouted, "I feel strangely EMPOWERED and think we should kill mormegil!!!!" with a voice that echoed with the cries of the dead.

Again, not wanting to disagree with an obviously crazy (and potentially haunted) person, the inmates seized mormegil and thrust him under the guilltine.

CLUNK

The scratching grew fevered as the lights went out.

Ah, so I don't need to confess that I was never sally's lover. That's good.

I figured you were burning time until Nilp came back so I didn't raise any fuss. You seemed genuine at the time so I backed your play trusting that you knew what you were doing. It's good to see that trust wasn't misplaced.

The light filtered down and the NIGHT ended as it always did.

Weirdly, the first noticable thing was that the incessant scratching had finally ceased. Joyful day!

Fresh bodies were still about, of course, but breakfast was still served so one must make the best of these things.

ToDAY's tally was Thinlómien, Formendacil, and Eomer of the Rohirrim.

Oh well.

The small handful of survivors dug in with gusto.

Suddenly, there was a crack and a BOOM!

Lo! Nilpaurion Felagund est resurrectum...but strangely...ghostly, as if his spirit would not be able to remain in this state for long.

Ah scratch that, whatever. I'll think toMorrow if it seems necessary.

++morm

Is actually the only person who seems genuinely fishy.

Dead, please heed morm's scheme.

Living, self-vote party toMorrow! Unless something really weird happens toDay or during the Night. In any case we should have time to mess things up.

Obviously I am pro my own scheme unless the situation changes dramatically overnight. The fact that Kath was up for it inclines me to think her innocent. I shan't vote for her unless I need to save my own neck. So I shall have to stay up a while before voting.
