I get the feeling that Garin will only avoid lynching when he actually is a wolf! :rolleyes:

Lalaith 02-26-2007 02:58 PM

O Mighty Mod Mac...where does the voting cut off, cross-posting hell etc....I make it Manwe 6, Garin 5....

Mithalwen 02-26-2007 03:03 PM

It could be Florida 2000 all over again...
 
Hanging chad anyone?

Durelin 02-26-2007 03:06 PM

Garin had six long before, I believe. Garin and Rikae were tied at four. Then I switched my vote to Garin, bringing him up to 5. Then just a few posts after me Roa switched her vote to him, bringing him to 6.

Macalaure 02-26-2007 03:10 PM

Just recounted.

I'm still having:

Garin 6 (tgwbs, Kitanna, Rune, Holbytlass, Durelin, Roa)
Mänwe 5 (Rikae, Hookbill, Legate, Nogrod, Lalaith)

Lalaith 02-26-2007 03:12 PM

My bad. I didn't see Durelin's switch.

Macalaure 02-26-2007 03:17 PM

Never mind.

The first day in my first game and I already miscounted the votes... I just aged for a month. :p

Gil-Galad 02-26-2007 07:00 PM

sorry for not voting, my mind was totally not comprehensing time today...(i wanted to eat lunch at 10:45 AM)

Macalaure 02-27-2007 02:48 AM

I just noticed I forgot to mention a rule:

The ranger may not protect the same villager twice in a row!

It's been handled this way in all games so far, I think, but I thought I should mention it for everybody.

Macalaure 02-27-2007 08:05 AM

Holby has withdrawn from the game. She will be killed, together with The Might, in the next narration. The Mod grieves over their loss.

Both Holbytlass and The Might were ordinary villagers. Innocents, your list of allies is growing thin! ;)

Kath 02-27-2007 08:27 AM

I'm so sorry about missing half the Day and the vote yesterday. The internet just seemed to switch off completely, wouldn't even show me the logging on screen. No idea what was going on with it.

Uh oh.

I wish I had known that. :rolleyes:

Kitanna 02-27-2007 08:55 AM

For the first half of Day 2 I won't be around due to work and classes. I will be on and functional a few hours before the voting is closed though.

Mithalwen 02-27-2007 11:38 AM

Since I am on a different assignment I will be around tomorrow but possibly not before 5.30 GMT - I don't know if I will have lunchtime access.

Holbytlass 02-27-2007 04:00 PM

My fellow villagers and nasty faithfuls,
I was asked to join this game when sign-up was very slow and did so for Macaulare. It didn't cross my mind at the time that I'm going to Florida (in about 10 days) and with a village this large it couldn't be guaranteed that the game would be over. I asked Mac to take me out now while things have just started and I wouldn't ruin anything later on. My "death" has no other ulterior motive.

Gil-Galad 02-27-2007 05:25 PM

sorry for the quick post, i'm having parental troubles(again) and can't guarantee a return until tomorrow

Hookbill the Goomba 02-28-2007 12:09 AM

I probably won't be able to post much today, for I have a busy day ahead. I'll do my best though...

Garin 02-28-2007 01:04 AM

Recount!
 
By the way folks. I have been lupine in twice of my past games. I can't wait to discuss the current goings-on but must wait til the end. I indeed get a sick pleasure of my lynchability. That is all.

EDIT: Holby, if you need tips on leaving the game early I can always give you pointers.

Macalaure 02-28-2007 03:03 AM

As Glirdan has been brought up in the game thread:

My rules state that two consecutive non-votes will cause removal, not two consecutive non-appearances. But I left myself the backdoor to keep the player in the game anyway, so I'll see what I'll do. Hopefully Glirdan will keep me from having to make such a decision by voting today.

The Saucepan Man 02-28-2007 07:52 AM

This is just to say that things have got rather hectic for me at work today. Having been required to make a very (and uncharacteristically) early start to the day, with little respite so far, and with the prospect of having to work late looming, I am not sure how much, if at all, I will be able to participate toDay.

Mänwe 02-28-2007 12:23 PM

Is it possible for Faithful's to attack Faithfuls?

Hookbill the Goomba 02-28-2007 12:33 PM

I'm rally sorry, guys, but I may have to pull out of this game.

My computer just died and I'm now using my father's one for a few minutes. I'll get back to you tomorrow to see if I can still play, but if I don't post here tomorrow then strike me off. :(

Uhm.. you mean at night? *scratches head* I don't think there's a rule against it, but I could think of no reason why they should. :confused:

*crosses fingers for Hookbill's computer* :(

Mänwe 02-28-2007 01:31 PM

Well if Rikae were a wolf, wanted to pose as the Seer, had the other wolves vote for her knowing the Ranger would protect the Seer. So giving further proof she was the Seer. Then as her role as Seer she could 'dream' about people and give false information.

Thank you for answering the question anyhoo.

I think there's nothing in the classical rules that would prohibit this. It would definitely be the most foolhardy thing the baddies have ever done in Barrowdowns Werewolf. :D

But now that my dumbfoundedness ( :rolleyes: ) has basically given away that this did not happen, I can just as well put it straight.

Things are looking up. My father has done some magic things to the hard drive and he's backing up my files. All the same, it probably won't be operational until tomorrow at the latest. So I may not be able to vote today, but I'll do my best...

Mänwe 02-28-2007 02:47 PM

Mac :)

Well that last vote session was terribly exciting!

Roa_Aoife 02-28-2007 02:49 PM

That was the most fun I've had in a long time! I should be the cobbler more often. :D

And no, I was never really upset, just acting, as I'm sure many of you figured. I'll let you know what I was doing with Nogrod at the end. ;)

Roa_Aoife 02-28-2007 02:52 PM

Also, Mac, we need to know your ruling on Glirdan. Because of invisible mode, we can't see when he was last active, but by your own declaration, two Days with no voting = Death by Mod.

Or, we at least need to know your back door to him.

Macalaure 02-28-2007 02:59 PM

The narration might take somewhat longer, as I'm currently too excited to collect my thoughts and put together something creative. I fear I'm gonna start smoking if you people continue like that. :smokin:

Concerning Glirdan: I will give him this Night to appear and will then decide. If he doesn't turn up before the nightly deadline, I'll have to remove him. :(

You absolutely should! That was great fun indeed!

I think all those who had played with you before figured...

I will be all ears! ;)

Thanks for a great game Roa!

Rikae 02-28-2007 03:01 PM

I just wanted to say...since I'm dead anyway...that I hadn't had the chance to read the last hour's posts when I posted my last couple times.

Rikae 02-28-2007 03:04 PM

And that I'm quite impressed with the way Roa thwarted me; confusticate and bebother it. :(

Oh, and that I have no spite towards Mith. (I don't know where that idea came from, actually...?)

But I'm afraid I might be crossing the boundaries of what I'm allowed to say on the admin thread...so I'll go put some duct tape on my mouth. Or hands.

Indeed, but there were quite a few who obviously were unused to my style, so I thought I'd clarify.

And Rikae, I'm very impressed with how calm and collected you stayed. I was hoping you'd snap and freak out because you were challenged, but you kept your cool. I look forward to playing with you again. :)

Kitanna 02-28-2007 03:18 PM

I apologize for missing the vote. I got so wrapped up in my homework I came back and voting had been over for about twenty minutes. I am so sorry.

Rikae 02-28-2007 04:51 PM

Another fine narration! Make mine good, OK? *applauds the Mod God*

In answer to a rep: A true magician never reveals her secrets: but I won't deny that both of my choices were based, at least partly, on my high opinion of the abilities of those in question. I felt it would do the village the most good to know the true intentions of those who were most likely to become its leaders. There were other considerations; but those are visions of the hypnogogic trance that I can never disclose. :p

Roa_Aoife 02-28-2007 05:02 PM

Psst.. Rikae... No more talking until the end... we're dead now....

Mänwe 02-28-2007 05:03 PM

Mhm, an interesting discussion, can 'trance' be used to describe a 'dream'?

Rikae 02-28-2007 05:53 PM

no, but i get all my best ideas in a trance

Macalaure 03-01-2007 02:51 AM

The admin thread is for administrative purposes and questions, not for premature after-game discussions. The dead are dead and should therefore be quiet, like stated in the rules. The living should keep in mind that posts on the admin thread that explicitly or implicitly indicate the role of the poster are forbidden. I'm looking at Rikae right now, but not exclusively.

edit: I just sent some pms to the protagonists, but one of them *coughmanwecough* needs to clear his inbox.
