I think this is on the normal schedule...

So 9 minutes to go.

Oh, and by the way, don't vote for Zali because she's very innocent...I'm sorry my responses are so jerky right now, but my heart's still racing from before!

And Nogrod, I agree--everyone is playing exceptionally well this time around.

Cheers to all--to the orcs for running us around in circles for a while

To our shaman--for the consistantly good dream choices

And to the rest of the village--for generally making the best of a difficult situation, and being reasonable, helpful, and consistantly intelligent.

Rock on!

~Your friendly neighborhood ranger, who doubts (for the billionth time) that she'll be alive come morning.

Edit: Cross-posted with Nogrod and Grendelien (whose tense-ness I can completely understand)

Eight minutes, according to my clock. I'm filling in for Farael. Am I correct to think 6:00 Central Time?

-- Folwren, your over bearing, substitute mod.

Oh, Cut the crap, Zali! :D ;)

You have been just superb!

I think so, Folwren, though I've been a bit confused over deadlines myself recently. :rolleyes:

Ok then, since I have very little time I will be as quick as possible and vote

++Naria

Just right. Only now its 6 minutes...

Aww, gee thanks, Nogrod...

I was sort of including myself in the rest of the village category.

(And I'm quite surprised how we managed to turn my dumb mistake several nights ago around!) :D

Edit: this particular bit of randomosity has been cross-posted with several people.

Roa 3
Zali 1
Naria 1

???

Oh, and to quickly add: I hope you're still alive in the morning, Zali! You've played wonderfully!

Sorry sorry I'm late!!

++Roa

I was on the fence about her, but her recent jump on Zali is just dumb :D

Hope we get us an Orc toDay!!

Btw. See Naria's last post #460.

Roa out of suspicion! If she turns out an orc, we will have some questions to Naria tomorrow...

EDIT: X-posted with Naria... :eek:

Thanks, grendelien--I hope all of the innocent people are alive in the morning, but I can't make any promises--I've saved people twice but I've greatly outlived my rightful time.

It's been a good one.

Hope to see you all in the "Morning"

That's it. No more talking. I'll have it up in less than ten minutes, I imagine.

-- Folwren

Hope to see you too, Zali.

Our prayers go with you! (even us agnostics will do it this time...)

I know it's a meaningless act, but
++Roa

I'm sorry, computer troubles at the most inopportune time...

The villagers pulled Roa out towards the village square where a tall, bare tree kept watch over them.

Roa: You'll be sorry for this, I swear! You'll all die if you kill me! I'm unwastable...I mean, you'd be wasting a whole day (and a villager) if you kill me!

Nogrod: They all say that.

Zali: Aye, even if they're orcs.

Roa didn't say anything then, not even that he wasn't an orc. The look in his eyes that he cast towards Zali nearly made her tremble in her boots, but not quite. They came to the bare oak and someone produced a rope.

Roa: Don't use that. I'll get rope burn.

The others rolled their eyes. Nogrod took the rope in his hand and made a noose out of one end.

Nogrod: Who shall have the honours?

Roa: No one!! Step back, feinds!

He broke loose from the hands of his captors and bounded off several paces, pulling from beneath his shirt which wouldn't have really hidden anything a long, curved sword.

Roa: I'll cut you up into hamburgers!

Celuien: I don't know what hamburgers are.

The simple comment caught Roa off guard and in that second, Zali drew forth her bow with an arrow already on the string. Roa balked, turned and fled, but no two legged thing - elf or orc, as it turned out - could out run an arrow. Right before the door of one of his many victims Roa fell. From behind him the villagers stood in absolute stillness as they watched the fair elven body turn into one of a hideous orc.

Caranlondien: I'll bury it.


There is still one wereorc, a Ranger and a Shaman living.
Now living:
Caranlondien: aspiring harpist
Nogrod: unemployed barber.
Grendelien: village whittler
Celuien:lampwright
Zali: stringer-of-bows
Naria:The grower of magnificent flowers
Sleepy : A barrel of apples

Now dead:
FaraelMod: He dyed… erm I mean died.
Glirdan: Repentant werewolf : Choked on an apple. No wonder why werewolves are carnivores.
JennyHallu: Wereorc: Escaped the village, but could not escape the laws of physics.
Dancing Spawn...: Just a merchant: Trapped on a deathly spider’s web.
Kitanna:The town's gate-keeper: Had a lobotomy performed by an angry woodpecker.
Legolas in spandex: Legolass (A movie-Legolas impersonator): Overwhelmed and or frightened into leaving the village after seeing what had happened to Kitanna
Diamond: Simply a normal, very bad stone cutter - scared to death by orcs
Findëasëa: paleo-elf-tropologist: Lynched by a small margin.
Roa_Aoife: Wereorc: Shot down by Zali while trying to flee hanging


Day ends. Remaining orc, PM Farael. Ranger and Shaman, do your thing, too.

P.S. I've been informed that Roa is a 'she' rather than a 'he', but when I wrote this, I wasn' t sure and I figured a girl would take less offence at being called a 'he' then a guy would at being called a 'she'. Forgive my laziness, now that I know, for not going back and editing.

An apology and a thanks
 

Well, sorry guys for not being home... when I started the game I did not think about the little fact that on most Fridays I'm volunteering 'till around 7 30... but today I didn't get home 'till now (2 10 AM)

But then, a HUGE thanks to Folwren for saving me yet again. :)

But where's the news?

What's going on?

Am I dead? :p

I guess no one's dead for now. Other than having died by virtue of being on the Downs. :D

Farael?

Just making sure you guys know - Farael didn't post that to start the new Day, he posted it when he got home last night to apologize for having to have someone else end the yesterDay.

So I don't know what's going on with toDay.

Well, I guess I'll hush up until the Day officially starts then.

Yes, I was aware of that when I logged on the first time at around start time...but decided to post anyhow when I saw that Nogrod had.

Did the Orc get Farael? Oh dear. I knew I should have protected him last night.

*draws bow*

:D

Edited to add: I think I'll follow Celuien's example and vanish into the mists for a bit...

Hope that Day has started by the time I show up again.

It seems I'm destined to be far from a computer at the time the day is supposed to start.

Azaelia has died, she was the ranger.

I'll do the writeup as soon as I can catch my breath.

Sorry, Zali. May your stay in Mandos be brief. And may we swiftly avenge your demise.

Unknowns:
Caranlondien
Grendelien
Naria

Known innocents:
Sleepy
Celuien
Nogrod

I'll be back shortly with a look at the last unknowns. But I'm pretty sure we've won now because there are three unknowns, comprised of one Orc, one Ordo, and one Shaman. (Unless I'm mistaken, neither Sleepy nor Nogrod can be the Shaman because they dreamt of each other - I'm not the Shaman, so the Shaman has to be among the unknowns.) If the Shaman comes forward today, we're down to two unknowns. And there was one more dream last night, which hopefully did not wind up directed to an Orc, so we should know exactly who to get today. But I'd like to figure it out before it's all revealed if I can. :D

Double posting for an important announcement:

I just had a daydream. Caran is the last Orc. So:

++CARANLONDIEN

Naria: Are you the Shaman? Just curious. :)

No! I'm the Shaman!

Celuien has clearly gone into hysterics due to her grief over Zali's death...

I wouldn't listen to a word she says...

Ah, time to watch the desperation begin.

It is you, Caran, who is hysterical over your capture. But it will be of no avail. My innocent friends shall soon be avenged!

Why not apologize for your foul deeds and seek redemption? I hear that even Orcs weren't evil in their beginning.

Apologize for my foul deeds? Never!

Erm, I mean, what are you talking about? I'm not an orc...

I was just going to post, and I saw this!!! Excellent choice, Shaman! And nice revelation, Celuien! So does this mean Naria is the Shaman, or has Celuien, Nogrod, or Sleepy just done a really good job of hiding their role?

++Caranlondien

Grendelien, you're making a big mistake...

Correction: Celuien can't be the Shaman, can she? Temporary brain malfunction...but if it happens quite often, I guess it can't be considered temporary...

Still in denial, eh?

Lasto beth nin, tolo dan na galad. (No! Not movie Arwen! But it's a good line anyway. :D)

Accept responsibility. Face yourself. Have a pint at the pub. And maybe we can have a chat in my psychiatry office. Well, erm, that was a past life. Or a future one. Or something. Hmmph. Anakronisms.

Hahaha, Caranlondien...I guess we should be safe and examine all possibilities...

No. I'm not. If I were, I'd tell you now. And I'm pretty sure it can't be Nogrod or Sleepy because of their dreams of each other (unless I'm really missing something). So I really think it's Naria. Actually, I've thought she might be the Shaman since she started suspecting me following my Shaman guarding gambit. That's why I trusted her for suspecting me, though I couldn't really say anything then without defeating the purpose of my whole strategy.
