sorry not sorry about voting
 
++Boro

I still think it makes more sense to take a shot at lynching a baddie than not to take it.

Boro seems the most fishy (see: list) so he gets my vote.

I also think innocent Boro would be a reliable dead thread presence and a guilty Boro an entertaining one.

Good night!


ps. Legate if you need a clarification I'll write you one toMorrow unless I'm dead.

I agree with this. That's why I'm not throwing any sort of suspicion on the people who still want a lynch - I don't think it's a baddie tactic or anything, just a difference in opinion. Do we want to take an informal poll, maybe? In favor of lynching vote lynch, in favor of no lynch vote no lynch, like so: ++no lynch, just to get a feel of where the village is at?

Awe, thanks :D. That means a lot coming from you.

You know what...I'm not even flustered by that. Usually, I'm fighting tooth and nail for revenge, but that's well reasoned. You've halfway convinced me that I should vote for myself.

Edit, crossed with Lottie. Fixing quote tags

Eönwë 07-11-2017 05:31 PM

It's really worrying me how much I'm finding myself agreeing with Lottie. If you're the Evil Wizard... :eek:

edit: xed with Brinn

That was all I meant. I took your words as speculation. It is only that in this game it happens to have significance so important just to be wary.

Lalaith 07-11-2017 05:42 PM

I have to vote too - this deadline time and my bedtime are not a good combo.
I don't have strong suspicions yet but a non-lynch/non-vote feels like a cop-out.
I'm going to with
++Nerwen
Because she's been a bit enigmatic toDay, because if she's bad she's scary and if she's good she'll be an asset to the dead thread.

Loslote 07-11-2017 05:43 PM

We have twenty minutes until DL, so it's time to start making decisions. We can still not lynch anyone (ties = no lynch), but we'd have to be very clear about who is voting and how. We can also stick with Lommy's Boro vote. I don't necessarily want to see Boro dead, but I don't have a better candidate, so if we want to play it safe and be sure we don't lynch someone else trying to tie it, I could see adding votes there. What do people want to do?

EDIT: Highlight it, Lalaith!

Legate of Amon Lanc 07-11-2017 05:43 PM

Well I guess there it goes for the no-lynch option, although I guess the potential option to nullify it is still there if we could make sure to agree on a counter-vote or something.

That said, I also want to go to sleep. It is like 2:40 here. And the DL is fast approaching anyway.

The ++no lynch would still be something I could back up, even though if I had to choose and vote a person, Boro would actually be among those to consider. I just wish this hadn't happened like this with the sort of sudden rush because I honestly would have prefered to go to sleep and leave it at that.

EDIT: x-ed with Mith and onwards

Boromir88 07-11-2017 05:44 PM

Lalaith highlight your vote if you want it to count.

Btw is that an actual vote? You should highlight it ( writing [highlight ][ /highlight] without the spaces there)

Morsul the Dark 07-11-2017 05:47 PM

++Lottie

Right out the gate she was giving strategies for wolves and wizards. I'm also interested in her mentioning wolf and wizard not being in contact. So the wolf has to find the wizard? If that's the case another reason to go for a wolf right? Keep the wizard isolated.

Edit X'ed since Boro vote

Eönwë 07-11-2017 05:48 PM

Kuru, are you counting Lal's vote?

Edit: Well, looks like it's a tie anyway.

So long as no one else votes :eek:

Boromir88 07-11-2017 05:49 PM

Gotta love how these early Day deadlines always turn out.

This is exciting. :D

Lalaith 07-11-2017 05:49 PM

It's ok I've sorted it sorry. Half asleep and voting via phone. Good luck everyone and goodnight.

Eönwë 07-11-2017 05:49 PM

Just to keep things clear for future Days, see the following post.

Eönwë 07-11-2017 05:50 PM

Dead Thread System
 
  1. Each Night, vote to find out the role of the person who has been around in the Dead Thread longest whose role is unknown. For special cases, see addendum below.
  2. Each Day, take an alphabetical list of the full usernames of the living. On odd Days, order them A->Z; on even Days Z->A.
  3. If the person whose identity was checked was good, empower the vote of someone in the first half of the alphabetical list (one of the known innocents should state who at the beginning of the Day), if they were evil, empower the vote of someone in the second half. For the purposes of this vote, if there is a username exactly in the middle, it counts as if it were in the first half.

Addendum - special cases
Night after a Wizard's Duel: Test the identity of the person whose full username appears first in the alphabet.
Night after a Hunter kill: Test the hunted. The hunter is a known innocent.
A visitor is present: We will assume the usual. Obviously if the Visitor returns with new rules then we can implement those.

Note: If there has been a 'mutiny', i.e., voting has been overrun by the wolves at any point, continue to vote as if the correct information had been transferred at the appropriate time. This will mean that at least all future information will be correct. The responsibility of the Visitors is to inform the Living Thread of any such 'mutinies' when they return to the Living Thread.

Kuruharan 07-11-2017 05:50 PM

Last game I was lenient, but since we've had a number of people asking for a highlight in the past few minutes, I'm going to disallow Lalaith's vote this time around.

Carry on.

Never mind...she was highlighting as I was typing.

Her vote now counts.

Inziladun 07-11-2017 05:52 PM

Back later than I expected, and having to try and catch up quickly. I guess we're voting? I see Lal put in a vote for Nerwen. As I was driving back, it had occurred to me that I might do the same, as Nerwen has seemed maybe a little more guarded than usual, and if innocent, would be a great asset in the Dead Thread.

But I'm open to another if someone else jumps out from the flurry I missed.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-11-2017 05:52 PM

Will the bloodlust take me? Will I break the tie? :p

Only why does it always have to be at some unearthly hour :rolleyes:

Also, my brain isn't in the mode to fully appreciate Eönwë's precise-talk worthy of Wittgenstein, but I am sure it will come handy. Anyway, if there's any problem with that, it can always be amended on the future Days. (Just not in the middle of anything.)

EDIT: x-ed with three

Shastanis Althreduin 07-11-2017 05:55 PM

I do not want to lynch Boro or Nerwen OR Lottie.

Inziladun 07-11-2017 05:56 PM

I'll take the plunge.

++Nerwen

Don't have the time to consider more.

Loslote 07-11-2017 05:57 PM

Vote tally:
Lottie - 2
Nerwen -2
Boro - 1

Legate of Amon Lanc 07-11-2017 05:57 PM

D'uh?

++Boro

Now that should either be a tie, or... well, whatever people will start to cause chaos?

EDIT: x-ed with a few. Okay, well?

Shastanis Althreduin 07-11-2017 05:58 PM

++Lottie

I do not think she is the evil wizard. This vote sucks.

Loslote 07-11-2017 05:58 PM

++Boro

To hopefully break the tie :eek:

EDIT: And by break, I mean cause

Brinniel 07-11-2017 05:58 PM

I don't want to spread the votes out too much so..

++Loslote

She has worked very hard to be helpful, which could go sour for us if she's evil. I can't help but think how clever it would be for a baddie to be the first one to come up with the idea of a no-lynch toDay in an attempt to avoid suspicion. I know I'm grasping at straws, but for Day 1, that's all I've got.

If I'm wrong however, I do think her helpfulness will be good for us in the Dead Thread.

EDIT: X-ed with multiple posts

Loslote 07-11-2017 05:59 PM

Can we get one more ++Boro for a no lynch? :eek:

EDIT: Thanks, Boro!

Boromir88 07-11-2017 05:59 PM

Lommy's convinced me now 51%

++Boro

Sorry...had to go to the halls of my forebears and in their inexplicably odd company I hopefully will not disappoint.

I've yet to have the fortune of being carefree ghostly observer...I never seem to die in these types. I'm not going to deny my heart has greatly desired this since the 1st appearance of a dead thread.

Legate of Amon Lanc 07-11-2017 05:59 PM

Okay, now this is off the rails... entropy in practice, seriously!

EDIT: will this never end

Kuruharan 07-11-2017 06:00 PM

Deadline
 
The deadline has come.

Please stop posting.

Narration(s) to follow.

Maybe a little delayed because my wife wants to eat dinner for some reason. :rolleyes:

She doesn't get the value of a good werewolfing...

Kuruharan 07-11-2017 06:49 PM

NIGHT Two
 
(Somebody should do a tally and comparison of crazy ends to DAY 1...I'd have to think this is one of the more frantic...my compliments.)

~~~~~Our Tale~~~~~

"I refuse to participate in this," cried one. "Let's behead Kuru!"

"Agreed," shouted the rest.

This proved fruitless. Kuru didn't seem to be around...and they still couldn't find a way out.

"I still refuse to participate in this ridiculous, pointless lynch mob!" said one. "We still have no proof that anything nefarious is afoot...except for Kuru kidnapping us and stranding us here!"

"Yeah!"

"I agree!"

"What will we do now?" asked one.

"Well, there seems to be nothing else to do except move in to our little chambers for the moment," replied another.

"Whatever we do, let's stay away from that awful guillotine!" said yet another.

"Yes, I won't participate in a pointless lynch mob," declared a speaker.





"I will," one said suddenly.

"Me too, no problem," said another.

"So will I!"

"And me!"

"Don't leave me out," said one of the previous speakers who said they didn't want anything to do with the guillotine.

"Me either!"

"Or me!"

"That's it!" cried one. "I've had enough of this! It seems the only way out of this situation is for me to use the guillotine on myself! Don't try to stop me! I shall invoke the traditional sacred cry of one embarked on this hallowed action!"

"Nilpaurion Felagund!"

The party was hushed in reverent awe.

"But...that leaves us with a tie," noted a sheepish voice.

"Oh...I guess I can't do that, then."

Everyone retired to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~

It is now NIGHT 2. Those with NIGHTly business may now conduct it.

The Ordos sleep now.

DAY Two
 
~~~~~Our Tale~~~~~

The NIGHT was quiet.

Mostly.

Except that as dawn began creeping over the horizon there was a strange buzz.

It went on and on growing louder and LOUDER and LOUDER!!!!!!

The guests huddled in their rooms, terrified.

bzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BANG *fizzle* POP

Absolute silence.

As the sun rose over the horizon everyone slipped out of their rooms into the canyon.

They stood staring at each other around the guillotine.

All except for one.

Blood poured out from under the door of the chamber of Morsul the Dark.

Turns out Kuru was right.

What to do now?

I think an excellent place to start is to focus on how Kuru was right. :p

~~~~~~

DAY Two has begun. Morsul the Dark was killed in the NIGHT.

You may all post.

Erm...you're welcome. I guess? Just so we're clear, I didn't do it for you.

Inziladun 07-12-2017 06:25 PM

Craziness. So...Morsul was the Night-kill. Conventional wolf-wisdom says he could have been seen as a Gifted, or they had no real idea and just wanted to do something to make us obsess. I don't recall anything from him that might have marked him as a target.
