I cannot bear to lynch two of my princes in a row. Besides, I still find Morm more worrisome at this point; Boro could have hid for a while longer rather than bring all this attention on himself.

(Yes, I realize, and no, I don't regret it.)

Who's a good little prince? Is it Boro? It is Boro! *scratches Boro behind the ears* Good boy. Sit with Sally. Good boy! Sally loves you, my darling. You're Sally's clever boy, yes you are. If Sally gives you some snuggles, will you tell me what sort of tricks you can do?

:Merisu:

Thinlómien 06-10-2015 05:36 PM

Oh dear Sally, I was just about to vote and go to sleep, and now I need to think??

*goes to reread the rules*

Thinlómien 06-10-2015 05:41 PM

Ah scratch that, whatever. I'll think toMorrow if it seems necessary.

++morm

Is actually the only person who seems genuinely fishy.

Dead, please heed morm's scheme.

Living, self-vote party toMorrow! Unless something really weird happens toDay or during the Night. In any case we should have time to mess things up.

Hmmmm. I made a bear pun and I think Lommy may have read too far into it. Whoops. :rolleyes:

Also and more importantly, I'm trying to bribe my beloved prince into being a little less vague if possible.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 06-10-2015 05:54 PM

Dude, I've gone with Sally-McCaber. What's up? :confused:

Right.

It's really late here, and any joke that doesn't begin with "An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar..." is going over my head.

Guess I should vote.

Sorry. Long day of being far too serious. Something has to be amusing today, but I certainly didn't mean to confuse.

My brief thoughts on Boro and Morm still stand, of course. The latter will probably be getting my vote.

mormegil 06-10-2015 06:17 PM

I'm going to vote Kath or Boromir, not that it will amount to much I fear. I wish you all the best in your hunt. Please don't continue to trust Boro after this. He's a loose cannon and will lead to your ruin. I also think Kath is a wolf whose done a remarkable job hiding. I think today you've decided to go after the most outspoken person...now I know how phantom must feel.:rolleyes:

Boromir88 06-10-2015 06:42 PM

Thank you my dearies, sally and Lommy. Just be aware I'm in a helpful mood tonight and I can't guarantee my mood won't change tomorrow

So my guess is Boro get details as to his mood and if he's for or against. Interesting. I think he's too much a loose cannon to continue. Think about it, we know who he is and the liability he poses.

satansaloser2005 06-10-2015 06:50 PM

But my prince loves me! He would never hurt his Sally! Right, Boro?

Right, Boro?

:eek:

In any case, he's also a known role, and I'm inclined to protect that, at least for the moment.

That makes sense, but what bothered me yesterDay is that nobody would even consider it. It took me harping on it all day to get somebody to listen. I think you need to consider his "mood" when he makes kills at night. He may start picking off innocents. I think the Lalaith thing still looks fishy to me. The Mac kill didn't as I suspected him. I'm glad some others are now at least getting nervous. If I'm lynched today, at least I will feel like I helped in getting him to talk more about it and let us know more about his true character.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 06-10-2015 07:08 PM

If Boro is half-evil then I'll be happy to lynch him when all the wolves are down.

For today, ++MORMEGIL and hopefully the Dead can give us some info on one of the others.

Very curious about the Ranger.

McCaber 06-10-2015 07:14 PM

Vote count:

Kath -> morm
Lommy -> morm (2)
Eomer -> morm (3)

Left to vote: Shasta, sally, morm, Boro, Mith, Formy, and myself.

mormegil 06-10-2015 07:19 PM

++Kath

Most of you are a bunch of blind fools. Love you all but you are being foolish.

Shastanis Althreduin 06-10-2015 07:22 PM

++morm

Maybe we should lynch Boro tomorrow.

Yes to all of this, and to be perfectly clear....

++Morm

My gut prefers Mith, but she seems to be off the table, so I have to go with the options I have.

McCaber 06-10-2015 07:23 PM

My opinion on Formy has been getting worse and worse. Even looking back at his Day 1 seems a lot like an attempt to float by without ruffling feathers and put him under the radar, and his posting yesterDay and toDay looks to me like a wolf hurriedly trying to float possibilities that don't leave a finger pointed straight at him.

EDIT: crossed x3

McCaber 06-10-2015 07:33 PM

Rereading more, I'm just getting more convinced.

++Formendacil

Boromir88 06-10-2015 07:34 PM

++mormegil

satansaloser2005 06-10-2015 07:40 PM

Do I hear the pitter patter of little boots drawing nearer? :Merisu:

Formendacil 06-10-2015 07:57 PM

Just in for the deadline (I hope/think)--so a vote before I'm in Failure to Vote status a second time.


++Formendacil


It's not fair to vote for anyone when I haven't dug into them at all toDay--though if a cursory look at the voting record is accurate, Morm is about to die today. Ah, well, I tried.

Wow, thanks Formwolf.

Deadline, stop posting please
 
Narration to follow.

satansaloser2005 06-10-2015 08:02 PM

Well, since everyone is so quiet....

Form: After playing so long without this young gent, I don't wish him to go, and I don't find him wolfish at the moment, certainly not to the extent McCaber does.
McCaber: Stay out of trouble. I mean it.
Boro: Behave, my boy, and perhaps you'll get a treat in the Morning. ;)
Lommy: Flip flop. Flip flop. (I have nothing. I just wished to say this.)
Eomer: I think we've made the right decision toDay, and hopefully the dead can shed some light on our current predicament and we can all be a happy little family again.
Morm: My condolences, sir, but I wish you well in the afterlife regardless of your role.
Shasta: My psychic wolf boy is rubbing me the wrong way. Are you a naughty boy? You can't be, can you? I'll have to look at you more closely, you sneaky creature.
Mith: Getting into the idea of orchestrating votes for more information, which does put a bit of positive light, but I'm still wary.
Kath: Perhaps the self-vote might be a good idea toMorrow indeed. We shall see. In any case, it's always nice to see a little more Kath. :)


I entreat the ranger to look upon me with favor this evening, as I rather fear I may be the next target and I have much to say toMorrow (as it will be the weekend, yay!). Until the Morning, my friends.


x'd with the mod (as I apparently lost track of time)

Kuruharan 06-10-2015 08:22 PM

It was an eerie day, that's the only way to describe it. The red mist eventually settled on everything...which was unpleasant.

Things just felt weird that day, no doubt. It was almost as if the spirits of the dead were swirling around their heads trying desperately to influence events.

All the inmates felt like they were being watched.

Suddenly, Thinlómien stood up and shouted, "I feel strangely EMPOWERED and think we should kill mormegil!!!!" with a voice that echoed with the cries of the dead.

Again, not wanting to disagree with an obviously crazy (and potentially haunted) person, the inmates seized mormegil and thrust him under the guilltine.

CLUNK

The scratching grew fevered as the lights went out.

The light filtered down and the NIGHT ended as it always did.

Weirdly, the first noticable thing was that the incessant scratching had finally ceased. Joyful day!

Fresh bodies were still about, of course, but breakfast was still served so one must make the best of these things.

ToDAY's tally was Thinlómien, Formendacil, and Eomer of the Rohirrim.

Oh well.

The small handful of survivors dug in with gusto.

Suddenly, there was a crack and a BOOM!

Lo! Nilpaurion Felagund est resurrectum...but strangely...ghostly, as if his spirit would not be able to remain in this state for long.

Welcome home, my beloved. I've missed you. <3

McCaber 06-11-2015 08:12 PM

Ah, so I don't need to confess that I was never sally's lover. That's good.

I figured you were burning time until Nilp came back so I didn't raise any fuss. You seemed genuine at the time so I backed your play trusting that you knew what you were doing. It's good to see that trust wasn't misplaced.

I wondered about that. Good show, Sally.

On the other hand, we had three nightkills last night, so there's - at the very least! - one wolf from each pack remaining, plus Boro... and there are only six of us left (not counting Nilp, because he'll be dead after today.)

Which also means there are at least two wolves in the group of McCaber, Mith, and Kath. Good odds, but we've got to eliminate a nightkill today.

Sally, if McCaber isn't your beloved, why are you so quick to trust him?

Shastanis Althreduin 06-11-2015 08:31 PM

I half wonder if we shouldn't lynch Boro today. I'd imagine the kill of Form was him, so he (probably) was genuinely trying to hit a wolf (not for our sake, but because he needs to kill the wolves as much as we do), but he's the only sure shot we have at eliminating a nightkill today.

Of course, Nilp could blow this entire theory of mine out of the water, so I'll wait to hear from him before I speak any more about it.

I'm not, at least implicitly. I just knew what Eomer was thinking and it was beneficial at the time for others to think it as well, so I went with it.

Incidentally, thanks, McCaber, for playing along. You're a doll. :Merisu:

Based on timing, if Formy was a wolf that Boro struck down, their two kills might have both gone through. (Formy specifically, because both Lommy and Eomer were on our seer's list of innocents and because he looked really wolvish to me.) If morm was a wolf himself, that would leave one wolf remaining between Mith, Kath, and myself. Which is looking a good deal less dire for everyone involved.

I suppose that's possible, but I have no idea how to figure out if that's the case. Initially I figured that if Form had been the last wolf on his team, there'd only have been two nightkills, but your theory is equally valid.

Is that something our esteemed mod can answer? Kuru, in the event that the last remaining wolf on a team is killed themselves at night, would their kill go through or not? (Of course feel free not to answer if that's something we shouldn't know.)

No problem. I'm just glad you're still here.

Of course, if Nilp hadn't come back I would have assumed you to be a particularly brassy wolf and this conversation would be quite a bit different.
