I almost did that, for the same reason.

Look at that tie.

Ok, with the vote count looking as it is, it looks like it's going to have to be:

++Huinesoron

That's a mighty niccccccce tie there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.


Sorry, I'm just being obnoxious at this point. :/

Holy :eek::eek:

Mac's voters are almost all universally null to me.

Hui's voters have an almost equal mix of people I trust and people I don't.

Neat.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!

Three left, maybe? Two? Not sure.

Watch Huey be a wolf. :rolleyes:

Rofl about this. But yeah, horribly intense situation here.

So, Huinesoron it is, even if Shasta makes it a tie? I think he's the only one left.

I'm somewhat having a bad feeling about this and will totally look at the Huine voters toMorrow.


edit: xed with everyone

Here's hoping...

That's no fun. Someone ought to vote Mac and give me all the power.

I hope so, even though it would make me look awful.


x'd with Shasta being wonderful, as always

How selfless.

Why don't I have a read on Sally yet? I find that strange.

Your own fault for leaving your vote so late. :p

Ditto, babe.

Both of us, but yes.

Unless Urwen rematerialises out of nowhere, doubt it.

Anyways... I think there will be hell to analyse toMorrow, regardless how this all ends.

Urwen is out of the game, so she won't be voting.

Urwen's done.

++Mac

For the aesthetic.

Hahaha. I wish there was a big LOL face for this.

I know, that Urwen remark was rhetorical.

Drama's in my blood.

Where is Nog to end our suffering? ;)

Deadline
 

DEADLINE: PLEASE CEASE ALL POSTING!



Huinesoron is moved into quarantine.

A narration will follow as soon as possible, hopefully in 15 minutes - half an hour.

Data is enough of a personally beloved character to know that he was distinctly without contractions. One of his points on the 'more human' scale was to purposefully try to use them... I have all TNG seasons if you want to borrow them, lol. :p


ex'ed with NogMod: My apologies!

Night 3 / Closing Day 2
 

With the horrifying revelation of there being some Morgoth infected souls deliberately spreading the illness, the nature of discussion changed even more from possible physical symptoms to mental ones. Most everyone was scrutinized by others in depth on what they had said and done the previous Day – and to a lesser degree to even what they had said this Day.

~*~

The discussion was brought to a halt in the afternoon when Brandir came around asking for his grandmother. As soon as people realized that no-one had seen her after midday, people started getting worried. Morwen asked the Nurse and Aerin to take care of the children and joined others in the search.

She was nowhere to be found.

Finally Algund yelled from the main gates. There was Glóredhel, leaning to a tall oak just outside the Village. She seemed cool and collected, staring somewhere far out of sight. Coming closer Halmir suddenly realized she was not breathing at all. His legs gave up under him and he fell to the muddy ground.

“Why! Why the House of Haleth! Why didn’t you take me instead! Be damned Morgoth, and your evil deeds!” He cried, pulling his hair.

“She’s withered away from grief…” said Indor quietly: “the way of spirits more delicate than ours”.

They carried her body to the old Badger’s cabin just around the corner and tucked her in some blankets. They’d have a decent funeral for her when all this was over.

~*~

“How about if I don’t want to go? Those are probably ill people in there. I don’t want to get infected!” Hareth stared at the crowd wildly. “I’m your mother, for Valar’s sake!” she yelled at her sons standing in front of her. “How dare you!”

“You just go” Grithnir said calmly notching an arrow.

“Yes, just no sudden movements” echoed Gethron drawing his bow as well.

“Do as you’re told mother. If you’re innocent, the Valar will protect you”, Húrin said calmly.

“But I am not!” Hareth screamed, eyes glowing red, and jumped on his sons.

There was a sharp snap and a soft thud, and another.

Hareth fell down with two arrows deep in her thigs.

Asgon noticed the brothers were stunned and took the reins. “Sador and Ragnir, take her in, and Aerin, get some towels and herbs for her as she comes back to her senses”.

“If she comes back…” Morwen murmured to herself, shaking her head.

It’s now Night 3.

Sleep or not, next posting in about 24 hours.

Day 3
 

That Night the Village slept uneasily. It was not just the threat that kept them awake, but also the excitement of the debate – and naturally the dramatic end of the Day. If Hareth could have fallen under Morgoth’s evil spells, then it could befall on just about anyone. There were horrific thoughts in peoples’ minds that Night: could even Húrin or Huor be, or the children? Lalaith? Morwen was having terrifying nightmares.

Húrin couldn’t sleep beside his wife who kept rolling around in her sheets, and stalked silently outside the Village to be alone for a moment. He watched the starry sky which looked exactly the same it always looked, like anything that was going on down in the Village didn’t mean anything, didn’t change anything. Yet, he was wishing Valar would help him, and it was under the light of the stars he could feel a tiny bit of solace.

Suddenly there was a crack somewhere in the woods somewhere near him. Húrin awoke from his dreams and was immediately up and awake. He listened. A deer? He thought he saw something disappearing between the trees maybe thirty yards from him.

More noises broke out abruptly from the opposite direction, several of them now. Then there was a yell of pain he recognized too well.

“Bro!” Húrin jumped towards the cry drawing his sword as he ran. “Huor! Where are you?”

“Take them down! Run!” he heard his brother yelling somewhere to his left as he was running down the slope. Several shapes slipped away into the darkness in different directions. It was impossible to reach them all. Drawing breath Húrin realized he’d get none of them – and Huor was there just beside him, in pain.

Húrin sheathed his sword and ran to his brother.

“What did they do to you?” Húrin touched Huor’s forehead and fell the heat. Bending down he reached for his eyes. “Who were they? Did you recognize anyone?” Huor shook his head and then suddenly pushed his brother away violently, using an amazing amount of strength for a man in his condition.

“Stay away from me!” he cried, breathing heavily. “They got our mother and now they got me. You must live! Listen to me. You shall live for greater things, and for the house of Hador!” The effort was clearly too much for him and he fell back to the ground sweating excessively, slowly passing out.

Húrin walked slowly back to the village carrying his half unconscious brother on his back to the Great Hall. With a little help from Asgon, he set his brother into a bench with some blankets and cushions.

“What on Arda were you doing out there brother?” Húrin asked Huor when their eyes met.

“I thought I was protecting you…” he said with a failing voice, but then managed a faint smile. “It seems it was the other way around this Night. What a failure.” Huor closed his eyes.

“I’ll promise this will be set right! And you’ll get better. Trust me.” Huor slept and didn’t answer anymore. Húrin left the Hall not quite sure whether even he believed in his own words.

It’s now Day 3

You are welcome to take on the Thread again.

Well, no more doubt around KitRanger.

YesterDay's Hueywagon turned out well, but it seemed to me to come out of nowhere. It's the same issue I had with the sudden push on Brinn the previous Day.
Adding to my trepidation was the fact that Lottie and Pitch, who I was very wary of, were on it.

I tried to consolidate yesterDay's comments, and later, votes on Huey :

Wolf-on-wolf is certainly not out of the question. In fact, it's likely. With five of them, they could afford to sacrifice one if it made another one or two look rosier, especially since Urwen's departure gave them what amounts to a free kill.

Right. And may I say that Eönwë voting Hui because 'with the vote count as it is it's going to have to be this way', after he'd earlier listed Hui as 'fine for now', is as good a candidate for this as any.

A very expected Night kill outcome, a very unexpected lynch outcome! :eek:

I have to confess I was 95% sure Huin would turn out innocent because "Last minute bandwagons are never against wolves" :rolleyes: but I'm very happy to have been wrong!

I don't really see basically any reason for a wolf to vote Huin (except possibly something like the second vote if it looked like it wouldn't gain momentum? I need to have a better look how did it actually go) - I mean it would have been an absolutely unnecessary sacrifice from their pov. Even if Mac is a wolf too, he was surely the more expendable one out of the two with the amount of suspicion he'd garnered, while Huin had largely slipped unnoticed until the last minute bandwagon.

Therefore I would look toDay very hard at everyone who voted Mac after Huin got the first vote. Those were the people who protected Huin and there's almost certain to be AT LEAST one wolf in there, possibly more.


edit: xed with both

I was really hoping that Kit was an ordo acting like the ranger, but alas. :(

The Hui bandwagon really did come from nowhere - I'm just glad I trusted my gut. I don't think the wolves saw that bandwagon coming, however, I do think there's a fair chance that a wolf is hiding among the Hui voters, so I will not disregard them.

Another Day in which the baddies have deciding power in the QT vote. That thread has got to be getting interesting.

Will look over some things shortly..

Well, rats. :(

Just so we're clear here, I'm not easing off Mac just because Huey was a wolf. It would be easy for the wolves to sacrifice either one of them to clear the other.

Now bring on the accusations, because they might be fair. Wrong, but fair.


x'd with Dun, who was very prepared this Morning, and the rest

I think there's a fair chance there's a wolf hiding among the three first people to try to discredit the epic hueywagon ie Inzil, Pitch and Brinn. :p

Zil's summary was very nice, but I think I'm still gonna look at the votes myself now to get a better feel of the timing of all etv.

Also I noticed there a brain fart in the quote by me:

This is supposed to say "I'm aware I can't give them the benefit of doubt based on this endlessly, but for the time being I'm not too worried about any particular thing."

PS. Sadly I don't think we can conclude basically anything of the Kitanna kill, any pack would've done that. I'm really not sure what to make of Brinn's statement that she thought Kit might be an ordo... like seriously????

That is what I call an unexpected surprise. Of course it also makes me wonder what if Mac's a wolf too?

RIP Kit, sorry you had to come out. I was hoping people would just ignore your end of Day 1 comment to G55's fake reveal. Reinforces my general point that we can all be a little better at discretion, and not all discretion is evil!

Not out of the question, true. It would be convenient for a wolf to hide behind the "I trust Kit" reason. Revealed ranger, highly likely to be night killed, I can see being a good spot for a wolf to ally themselves and look good.

However, I'm going to put this disclaimer now and say I will not be considering the possibility of wolf-on-wolf votes yesterday. I just think there's more suspicious votes to be focusing on that has wolves, than the votes of those who lynched a wolf.

I did a thorough look of Huey's posts from Day 1 and 2. I must say he was someone I wasn't considering a suspect. In hindsight his end of Day 1 and end of Day 2 posts, I can definitely see why he was found suspicious. I'm going to get myself some dinner and be back with a Huey analysis.

Edit: crossed with everyone since Zil

What an opening post. :eek: I am a little surprised that with all those quoted posts, your only actual comments are that Pitch and I are still suspicious...despite voting for a wolf at a pivotal moment...with no mention of the people whose votes might have worked to save Huin, which in my opinion, is a far more suspicious group of people. And which happens to include you. :rolleyes:

I broke yesterDay's voters into six groups, as follows, and I personally think those groups say a lot. Could there have been wolf on wolf? Absolutely, but I think you can still say that the people who really swung the vote Huin's way look pretty good.

Voted Huin early
Legate
Kitanna
Pitchwife
Lottie

I would say this group looks pretty decent. Why start up a whole bandwagon and encourage it if you don't have to?

Voted Huin late
Lalaith
Brinn
Eonwe

I would say this group looks very good. The voting was super tight. Any one of these people could have changed the outcome by voting elsewhere.

Voted Mac early
Lommy
Greenie
Huin

I would say this group is fine. It wasn't clear at that point that the vote was between Mac and Huin - I believe Zil was the other name being thrown around - so I don't think these votes were suspicious.

Voted Mac late
Sally
Zil
Boro
(Shasta)

I think this group looks very suspicious. I personally doubt Mac and Huin were packmates; therefore, these votes to me could easily be wolves trying to save a packmate. My guess is that there is one or two wolves between Sally, Zil, and Boro. I don't count Shasta because the vote was already decided when he voted.

Voted elsewhere early
Kath
Lhuna
Mac

Nothing much to say about these votes in my opinion.

Voted elsewhere late
Rune
THE Ka

Specifically, voted for me. I really disliked these votes, but of course I know that they were votes for an innocent, so I might be biased. However, they came at a point where the bandwagons were starting to look pretty set, and I could see a wolf latching onto this as a way to avoid voting for a packmate or committing to trying to save a packmate. Basically throw away votes - most of the people who wanted to vote for me had already voted at this point, there was little chance I would be lynched. I would guess one of these two are wolves.

Okay, so who do I think the wolves are? I think two of Sally/Boro/Zil, one of Rune/Ka, and I would guess Lommy is the fourth, due to the way she and Huin sort of soft suspected each other and the way Lommy ties Huin to Brinn in her #494. Given that a wolf would KNOW Huin was a wolf, and that Lommy does not try to save him but rather soft encourages the bandwagon, I find the decision to tie Huin to someone who later casts one of the late votes against Huin suspicious.

Uh, you have something to confess? Are you the next fatalistic wolf à la Mac?


edit: xed with Lottie and Boro

Of course it's possible that both Mac and Huin were wolves, but I would find it surprising if the wolves were completely unable to produce a single other viable bandwagon to counter two bandwagons on wolves. The Zil bandwagon, for example, could have been encouraged and pushed harder without too much suspicion on the people pushing it. The bandwagon on me probably could've been pushed harder - there were more people interested in voting me, though Legate and Lommy at least voted early. If both Mac and Huin were wolves, I would've expected to see more pressure in those directions, which we just didn't really see.
