I wouldn't.

If we keep posting, the Dead will know we have something to say. They'll know the game is not over. If we stop, they assume there's nothing left to say.

They see we have posted now - and then we stopped.

I don't see they could interpret it we have it so clear no one bothers to even joke a bit. I mean it's most of the Day and it is going to be tight there and they know it. Why would the game continue unless there were things to settle?

I totally disagree with you. The days are often quieter anyway.

Us getting quiet at #1588 might be a coincidence.

Us talking but the post count staying at #1588 is not a coincidence.

I think we should definitely keep it as an option.

edit: post #1,5something added.

Dead person, don't post in this thread.

[Aganzir]

YOU, DEAD PERSON. If you post in this thread, please delete one of your earlier posts, or edit two posts into one so we can keep the post count at 1,589 (shows as 1,588 under Replies).

[Nogrod]

You dead person!

Yes you,

exactly you who are reading this.


Please read this before you post anything!


We have a plan were trying to accomplish here. As we have no way to indicate the Living that they should lynch Boro (newcomer: we know McCaber was the last wolf) we try to do it by stopping our posting to 1588 replies.

So don't post anything on this thread for now!


This post is post number 1589 [EDIT: No, Because of Aganzir this is actually the post 1588 - but Aganzir's post is now 1589] – and if you check the ”Active Topics” or ”Middle-Earth Mirth” you can see the thread has 1588 replies. Hope you follow...


1588 replies.
Boromir88.


We'll stay silent until the last hours of the Day so that the Living might get the clue: nothing happens in the Dead thread for over half of the Day and the count stands at 1588.

The living might catch it or then they don't. Or some rebellious wolves might not wish to play along just in principle even if Boro is their enemy and the killer of their packmates. But we'll nevertheless wish to give this crazy plan a chance and to give this anniversary game the ending it deserves.


So do not post anything in this thread unless the Living have caught the message, or there is something like 5 to 7 hours of the Day left.

If you feel a need to say something, follow Agan's instructions of deleting one of your earlier posts to keep the post count intact.


Hold your horses!

PS. Read at least this page and the one before to understand how we came about this...

PS2 Let's keep the silence at least for this evening with the Americans - like 10 hours at least. Of course if the living start to think we think it's over, well of course we abandon the tactics (although I can't see why would they think that). I'm just afraid everyone doesn't remember to quote the plan-post and then some people get energized with a discussion and the plan is lost when someone comes into the middle of a discussion and hasn't seen this plan as it has gone up in the thread...

PS3. Although - a couple of posts - rarely made and including this basic message post might be good indeed during the Day if someone notices the discrepancy between the number of replies (1588) and the name of the last poster.

This wolf goes along with the plan. I can vouch for Lottie, too, but haven't heard from Form yet.

Let's hope anybody will notice that our post count doesn't change even though we're posting. I know I wouldn't. I would have prefered complete silence.

I am offended at having to delete one of my exceedingly substantial posts. Ah, the things I do for revenge.

This below used to be post #1481. A grave loss for wolfkind.

I can't take my eyes off that gif. Did anyone notice how Merry and Pippin, who, from their point of view, should see the troll coming, don't react at all? Couldn't they have warned Frodo?


edit: crossed with morm

Shasta just voted Boro!

Morm, you already lost, and you're trying to ruin something this cool?

Anyway, one more vote for Boro and we have him!

[mormegil]

Yes, call me a poor loser

[mormegil]

Seriously though, isn't deleting posts against the rules? Kuru?

My primary goal wad to rid the village of all of you with my pack, those plans were foiled. I would like to see Boro win as a cunning predator. He bested me during the game and by so doing earned my wolf is respect.

Go Boro! I'm trying

[mormegil]

To put it mildly, I'm very disappointed at the rate at which posts are being deleted. This is akin to cheating and goes against the sportsmanship of the game. I can see the deleted posts.

I admit the idea was clever but I have my strategy to not help the villagers. I wish you would abide by the rules of the game.

[the phantom]

Ah well, I cave. Though I do feel a "spirit of the law" case could be made, i.e. all rules have a specific reasoning behind them- in Werewolf the changing of posts isn't allowed because we base our accusations/defenses on the words of others etc. etc. that is the reason for the rule, and the reason is what matters, not the rule itself.

But today, when everyone on the thread knows we are making posts just for the sake of deleting them, and everyone knows every role, obviously there can be no arguments/accusations made based on such editing practices. In short, the law lacks its supporting reason in this case, therefore in this case no such law applies.

But if you insist and you feel your allegiances are with Boro, all you have to do is keep spamming even if we did keep deleting and that will just get tiresome (and call down wrath from above). I think perhaps we should just run this thing up near 1688 and leave it sit there (without editing), as Morm has to go to sleep at some point.

[Aganzir]

I feel a need to say something.

If you think silence is not strong enough a clue and the living will catch our meaning better if the thread keeps updating but the post count doesn't, feel free to ignore what Nog said about posting nothing all day. I know I will.

However, do quote this post so that it's accessible to everyone entering the thread, and please remember to delete an old post (and edit its contents into another post).

Yeah, suuuuure.

[mormegil]

Better that Boro win than the helpless welps who would listen when I said to lynch him. He is playing brilliantly and if I can help I will. I thought post deletion was against the rules.

[mormegil]

Love the graphic Agan!
