Quarantine Thread, Day2

You are in the Great Hall of Húrin with all the household items and heirlooms; reserves of ale and wine, and a state of the art kitchen; a nice great fireplace and the great banqueting table; hides, furs, carpets, cushions, quilts of all sort... So you should feel yourselves comfortable.

Blind Ragnir has promised to bring you fresh water from the window twice a Day and once for the Night and the nurse will bring you some soothing herbs and clean towels in change for used ones. Húrin himself will come to ask your opinion once a Day, two hours before the sunset.

So feel free to discuss everyDay among yourselves as to whom to give the “infirmary vote”, for Hareth had insisted, that also the sick ones should have voice in these matters. No one knows how happy the brothers were giving a vote to someone like Andróg, but one just didn’t oppose one’s mother is public. And surely that would be wisdom in the long run.


~*~

In case of a tie, the latest person voted for quarantine has the decisive vote (no new votes will be cast in case of a tie). In case of there being none involved in a tie who was voted into quarantine, then the latest (involved) incomer in general will make the call.

Discussion is limited to Daytime only. You also must sleep at Nights. Well, you especially need to sleep, as many of you are actually sick.


~*~

Members of the Quarantine Thread

Galadriel 55, Andróg, the Cobbler (voted into QT on Day1)
Rikae, Haldir, formerly healthy person (infected by the shady Infectors on Night2)


Against all odds the Mod wishes you a good Day.

Rikae - sorry, but also not sorry. I didn't plan to butt heads with you, but your reaction was the most convenient.

Well, this is less fun than it sounded. I get the joy of watching people talk about me and being unable to answer them, when normally I'd just stop following the game at this point.

At least I have the comfort of knowing the person who made me lose my temper when I set out not to do so was actively trying to.

Which means this is just Sally being Sally:

Didn't vote yesterDay: Lal. I wonder if she knows the game has started.

Weird votes yesterDay (Gal notwithstanding): Steve. What the frell? Also Green, which was another throwaway and strikes me as odd.
So, her insulting opinion of me (that my temper is worse when I have a special role) led her astray - not for the first time, if I remember correctly - but she still has to air it. Ugh.

Nothing for it, if I have the double vote today, I have to follow this ... ugh ...

Is nausea a symptom? What about wanting to bash one's head into a wall?

Clearly viral encephalopathy.


Actually, regardless of content, I wanna reach 2 pages of posts before Half-Day, just to make the GT wonder what the Angband is happening here.

  3. She wanted us to believe (2), but actually thought that Brinn was innocent and wants us to suspect her by assuming (2) is true.
He is clever, that one! Though I would put a (4). I have to say, for all the talk of "we're gonna ignore G55", there have been quite a few musings thrown around.

See, I rather like the village stewing about her, regardless of her role. She would not be my first pick if I had to choose from the list. However, then people will say "Cob55 *did* think she was innocent, I was right about yesterDay!", and start wondering what the blazes I am thinking now, which I would also rather like.

You know what? If she's not under too much pressure at the time of the vote, we can make this happen.

Speaking of gifted roles, as they are doing on the GT, they are ignoring the Hunter, who actually doesn't wanna keep his head down so much that the wolves never target him. Do the wolves prefer to take down the Hunter early, before he gets a better read on them? Or try not to target him at all, so as to prevent him from using his power?

I have thoughts about that, but I will save them until the demographics of the quarantine shed shift ...

(Hm, if we end up with an evil majority in here, I'd basically be a reverse cobbler!)

I feel you Rikae. You're not the only one who is sometimes embarrassed about one's behavior in WW. In a sense I'm quite happy modding this game as I can be my cool and positive self who just roots for everyone.

I'm really enjoying the narrations so far, and the setup feels like a nice refinement of the dead-thread idea!

But you're a legendary player, though. Mac & I were categorizing WW players (in general) the other day and I said you were a category all by yourself. We need another game with some good, old fashioned Nog conspiracy theories.

Are you going for the safe bets here? No theories about whether Hui was bluffing or double bluffing? Or that I fake revealed so late on purpose because I thought Brin is a wolf?
