Kath 06-06-2015 06:09 PM

Aaah oops just realised Agan already bit the dust. Have at least realised Firefoot suspicion comes direct from the wolf's mouth.

To reply to something I saw on the way:
But I also hadn't realised what aganzir said about Dead Thread voting not starting til Night 3 anyway, which means the fewer people sent there the better really, excepting wolves.
Kath, precious, would you mind explaining this comment? How is it good to have fewer people in the dead thread other than wolves? Wouldn’t that give the wolves an advantage in controlling the dead thread?

I meant the fewer people, excepting wolves, there are in the Dead Thread, the more people, excepting wolves, there are alive. Given we need a numbers advantage against two packs having more innocents alive than dead seemed like a positive thing to me.

Kath 06-06-2015 06:18 PM

This extra Night kill is interesting. Assuming Agan was the Hunter (seems clear enough that she was) and took Greenie down with her, then the extra death may suggest that either Greenie has some special role that allows her to also take someone down with her. I think it was Eomer that floated the possibility of a were-bear. Rules for them vary with each mod, so I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that a Greenie-bear could cause a death after her own.

Kath 06-06-2015 06:22 PM

Sorry it must be fairly evident that I am doing train-of-thought posting here, and this may have already been answered somewhere along the way, but can the Seer and the Hunter come back from the Dead Thread, or just the Ranger and the Lovers?

Kath 06-06-2015 06:28 PM

Nerwen has already voted for Loslote. We could test the theory by lynching someone else today? Or is that stupid?

This was from Eomer (mobiles are not conducive to this game!). Eomer, given that roles are not revealed upon lynch, how would lynching someone else have tested the theory? I may have missed something here ...

Kath 06-06-2015 06:29 PM

Now, given that I am posting into a void and that any lurkers are probably fed up of my inane questions, I will take my leave.

mormegil 06-06-2015 06:43 PM

Kath is back. She must be guilty! :D

Only lovers and ranger come back as far as we know.

Eomer asked about lynching a second with the Nerwen vote to test the powers. It won't happen today obviously. This is s post from the phone too and it does stink.

If that's the case, why doesn't your mates just kill her, or don't you feel like being THAT helpful?. :p

Dear dead thread,

the most conclusive communication scheme today was the one suggested by Firefoot. We'll be keeping that in mind.

Dear fellow living,

if anyone has a better idea, please talk about it now. Or support it. Anything.

ToDay is safe for experiments as everyone's voting for Lottie.

Mithalwen 06-06-2015 07:21 PM

Sorrry dozed off again just remembered haven't voted which isn't important in itself but may confound the dear departed.

Oh good grief Kath really most bizarre... and that is from me.

++Loslote

mormegil 06-06-2015 07:22 PM

Despite Lottie's talk about Firefoot, it's still the most reasonable idea under the circumstances.

I concur. Firefoot's post can be found here.

Well, they can, if they so chose. But considering I hadn't had the chance to tell them in private, I decided that if I was going down, I was going to drag whoever of the other pack I could down with me. I don't really care if my packmates kill her or if you lot do, just so long as she dies. ;)

Je vous en prie. And actually your bravura performance made mine. You go out with style and my incarnation from the Anduin vale salutes you.

My incarnation in this village on the other hand disassociates herself from that since the Dead thread loolks set to overtake this one and should she go there soon it is going to be pointless losing the will to live.

Goodnight

Kuruharan 06-06-2015 08:00 PM

Deadline, stop posting please
 
It had certainly been a day of stunning revelations, heated arguments, and bold defiance. Fortunately, this whole disaster was still being excellently catered.

As the frenzy grew, suddenly Shastanis Althreduin stood and with a loud voice cried, "I feel strangely EMPOWERED and believe Loslote must die!!" with a voice that echoed with the sound of a thousand lost souls.

As that was already the consensus of the group (and not wanting to argue with a clearly crazy person) the inmates seized Loslote, beat her savagely with a knout they happened to find handy (why does Kuru keep all this stuff in his house?), threw her on the guillotine, and pulled the lever.

CLUNK

Away rolled the head.

*scratch scratch scratch*

This time, that was all that happened before the lights went out.

Light crept through the windows again.

The itching inmate had scratched all NIGHT making it hard to sleep...among other reasons.

Breakfast appeared and the inmates, with great dread of the results, began looking around.

It was a measure of the level of the catastrophie that finding what seemed like less gore spattered about seemed like a great thing.

They had, in fact, become so used to it that they all set to breakfast with great gusto and ate all of it.

I mean, obviously, Firefoot and Lalaith were not going to need it anymore and it would be criminal to let it go to waste.

Both Nerwen and Sally survived? Eh???

McCaber 06-07-2015 08:13 PM

So Lottie's pack took her advice about killing Firefoot, it looks like, but what did the other wolves see in Lalaith? Did they figure Nerwen would be protected last Night, or did they feel there was some other reason to ignore her? I'm going to read through Lal's posts and see if I can find some reason for targeting her.

I'm with Nilp on being really thrown for a loop here.

satansaloser2005 06-07-2015 08:15 PM

Hey, guys, I'm right here. :rolleyes: :p

I am confounded by the Lal kill though. I feel like that came out of nowhere.

Shastanis Althreduin 06-07-2015 08:16 PM

One thing about the narration that I noticed is that the "itching" has become even more prominent. I wonder if something happens if the hidden role lives to a certain day or night? Given the narration I'd say they're probably still alive, at the very least.

Hey sally. Depending on what shakes out toDay I think I'd still prefer you alive than temporarily deceased, just because it seems easier to me to protect someone you know versus someone staying hidden, and as there's still two kills a night flying around I would dislike risking both of you dying in the same cycle and us getting nothing from your reveal.

mormegil 06-07-2015 08:21 PM

As Shasta received the extra vote yesterday, we can assume Greenie was innocent, correct? There was never any real surety of it as she was the Hunter kill which was based on suspicion. I'll have to see what this means to us, thought I"m not how much we can tell when an innocent Agan killed an innocent Greenie.

I do wonder if we are down to one pack now with Lottie gone. There are essentially two options as it appears that the "itching inmate" had another kill last night, based on the narration. It could be that we are down to one pack or that we had a successful ranger protection. Or I suppose I could be reading the narration wrong and there are two packs with two kills and no itching syndrome.

I'm trying to make heads or tails of the Firefoot kill. The itching villager could have taken her out on suspicion of being a wolf off Lottie's accusation. I was going to look into that toDay but I guess not now. I wasn't convinced but I thought it was worth looking into. If anything I thought it was Lottie trying to protect a pack mate of Firefoot in a fairly bold move.

The Lalaith kill seems odd. She didn't stand out one way or the other. I felt she was mostly innocent and didn't strike me as gifted.

Yesterday Lottie, Nilp and Eomer were my top suspects with a few others near. So far they remain and I'd like to look into them more. Honestly though, I'm more confused toDay than yesterDay and slightly frustrated.

Agreed, plus it's nice to have a known innocent around. I suppose two known with Nerwen, although somebody should look at her for a nasty skin rash.:rolleyes:

mormegil 06-07-2015 08:27 PM

Also (sorry for the triple post) who are the potential scry candidates among the dead? We should set up a similar system as we did yesterDay. That seemed to be useful and low risk.

The only reason it was low-risk was that it was a unanimous pick. If there's contention as to whom to lynch, all of a sudden who gets the bonus vote becomes a much thornier proposition.

And with Firefoot gone, I doubt we can orchestrate such a thing again, unless we want to do some sort of wacky tie nonsense (which I'm not keen on for toDay without some convincing).

Whoops. I meant to add that I would make a list if it were not for this.
