Werewolf VI (the saga continues in a rather continuous way)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I can't believe how seriously some of you took my comment. Did the whole Royalty thing throw you?

By two innocents I meant me and someone else. I am quite content to keep this (likely) innocent quiet for now.

As to the wolves, I'm working on it! Let me re-read everything.

[Holbytlass]

My initial vote is for Eomer, but since it is not retractable I'm waiting for his evidence, which I hope is compelling.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well, let's get some dialogue going Holby.

What exactly do you mean by 'his evidence'? Evidence that I'm innocent? Well, I have none. And neither does anyone else.

What do you want from me exactly?

[Saurreg]

I will be away for the rest of the night (local time) and therefore I must cast my vote now. I would have like to wait for TGWBS to reply to my query and perhaps see who he votes against. However RL beckons.

++Eomer of the Rohirrim

Had I more time, I would have waited and perhaps chose someone else depending on circumstances. However as of now I am most suspicious of him and the moltives behind his posts. I believe him to be a werewolf which is trying to confuse the village with a bold gambit.

[the guy who be short]

Saurreg - I don't know what logic Eomer would be using. If I did, I would probably fill it with holes, and failing that, use it myself. In any case, I don't think a Seer would be as open as him, and a shirriff would have a partner.

For myself, the Day draws to a close. I am weary of Firefoot, and have not seen her since I accused her.

++Firefoot
Remember the wolves are probably quiet and laughing at the votes against Eomer and G-G.

Edit: Oh dear, cross-post. That's a shame, but what's done is done.

Firefoot, I was referring to this:

But, Holbytlass, if we can't lynch a wolf, wouldn't it be better to lynch an ungifted villager than a gifted one?

I missed you later changing your mind about that. Still, changing your mind... wolfy or not? I'm not sure. I think you're slightly more innocent now due to the analytical response, but for a lack of anybody better to vote for, why not you?

[Firefoot]

I am weary of Firefoot, and have not seen her since I accused her.

That's because you posted your accusation at 5:20 AM, my time. I didn't wake up until two hours later.

Since you seem to want a response from your accusation (even if it is too late), here it is:

For myself, I will probably be voting Firefoot. She's quiet, she's present but not noticable,

I have reasons for being quiet. A) When I throw out possibilities this early in the game, they tend to be wrong. I am stubborn enough that once I start thinking one way I don't tend to change unless I see good evidence. So, I'm reserving judgment until there is something to comment on. Right now I'm just trying to figure everyone out; I'll be more vocal once I have some ideas. B) I don't want to unknowingly contribute to wolves' tricks again.

she wants to kill innocent villagers.

No, I don't. I'm sorry if it appears that way because I misunderstood the point Holby was trying to make, but lynching innocents is not my intent. I want to lynch wolves. I don't see much chance of doing so, but I proposed my idea:

I think our best bet for today is for everyone to vote for who they think is guilty. That way, everyone won't be voting for the same person, and that voting will leave evidence that we can make some sense out of.

I know that it is doubtful that we will lynch a wolf this way. I also know that it is doubtful that we will catch a wolf any other way - and I don't really hear any other proposals of how to catch a wolf toDay. At least this way, we will have something to work with in the coming DAYs. Capíche?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mod's Note: there is only a half hour left and seven of you haven't voted yet. Get moving.

EDIT: *impatient cough* 17 minutes. I will be very put out should there be a double lynching by default.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Screwy posting?

OK, two innocents: myself and the guy who be short. Just look at the plan he had. In the best spirits, I believe. I had honestly forgotten that little rule about the Guardian too so it's easy for me to believe him. All this talk of the plan being an attempt to reveal the Seer is naive. tgwbs knew that the Seer would not reveal his or herself until after the plan had come under serious scrutiny. So if he did know the snag in his plan then he would also have realised that the plan would never catch on.

About catching werewolves and believing in my integrity due to my royal connections.....take a step back. Some things in the game are not meant to be taken with the utmost seriousness. Were it not for jests the game would be half as entertaining.

As for me really catching wolves, why all the pressure on me? We're all meant to be catching wolves. Why am I being called upon to offer my evidence? What's so special about me? What's so screwy about my posting?

Stop voting for me. You have nothing to go on. I will most likely vote for Gil-galad to save myself now. Even so, all this pressure on me is telling. When my innocent body is swaying gently in the wind, take a close look at those who were out to get me.

[Firefoot]

I will likely be voting for one of the following: Gil, Lhuna, or Oromin. I don't think Eomer is a wolf after hearing who he 'knew' to be innocent and why. I'm not sure about Gil; I don't think he's a wolf yet, I think he's just being himself. Lhuna didn't give us anything new to think about and jumped on Gil after Morm voted for him. Oromin hasn't posted anything of substance either but at least it has been pertinent to the game. She readily nudged the suspicion away from herself in her first post to Morm - "unless you're a wolf..."

I don't know if Lhuna or Oromin have any chance of being lynched though. The vote seems to be going to Gil or Eomer.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The tricky thing is, I can understand all votes cast thus far.

Except littlemanpoet's. He jumps on me for screwy posting. I have already explained why my posts were not screwy. The innocents I have named. The wolves I have linked to my royal connections, eg. Mirth. Nothing screwy there at all.

His plan of lynching innocents is a funny one too. And also telling the Seer to be quiet is strange. I would love some of the Seer's information. What if the Seer dies two nights from now, keeping quiet so that we learn nothing from him/her? I don't think his strategy is a good one for a villager, but it's his singling out and subsequent vote for me which makes me think. He realised that by pointing to my so-called 'screwy posting' he could make a target out of me. Saurreg has followed him, despite alluding to wanting to lynch someone else.

I really want to vote for littlemanpoet, but I might have to vote for Gil to save myself.

Post 3- spirit of game
post 19- eludes to 2 innocents
post 21- joke
post 31- warns against getting the idea of seeing people as wolves stuck in head. (isn't that the point)
post 36-says he has evidence to name and shame 2 wolves tomorrow (the royalty part again spirit of game obviously but now redirects to wolves)
post 43- joke
post 75- irrelevant (clearing up personal issues)
post 76- points out again, 2 innocents, himself and someone else then states the quote above.
post 78- wants dialogue with me and doesn't understand what I want from him
post 84-names himself and TGWBS as his innocents.

Eomer is confusing as he states he has 2 wolves in mind but won't name them, doesn't understand what people want from him when it is based on what he posts.

++Eomer

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

No, no, no! I have NO wolves in mind! MIRTH MIRTH MIRTH!

I was seriously going to vote for littlemanpoet there. I barely see the point now. I know I'm going to die.

Oh, what the hell...

++ littlemanpoet

Don't bother trying to make a tie with Gil. He's probably innocent.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And so was it decided that Eomer of the Rohirrim would be the day's scapegoat.

"What is wrong with you people!?" he cried out in a pained voice, leaning nonchalantly on the edge of the village well. "Can't you see that I'm innocent? And besides that... I'm too handsome to die."

"You know," several of the village lasses murmered, "he has a point."

"Yes, you see? I'm innocent!"

"No 'Mer, you're gorgeous. There's a difference."

"I've a solution," growled one of the more stubborn villagers (a jealous man, to be honest). "We take this here tartan sack, and we put it over his head."

Swiftly this course of action was agreed on. T'would be rather easier to kill him if they did not have to see his handsome face, pleading eyes, and rather innocent-looking demeanor. As a group, they surrounded Eomer.

"Wait... how is this going to work?" he asked, looking nervously at the well behind him. "I have a profound fear of drowning." he revealed. "I have nightmares of it. It's like it happened in a past life or something. What are you doing?" His questions grew increasingly panicked. "Wait... lynching... hanging. You should hang me. Or stone me. I've got a pitchfork at home if you'd prefer it!"

Growing weary of his cries, an impatient villager embraced him calmly, whispering in his ear that it would all be all right. With that, the villager pushed Eomer backwards, watching him fall with a clatter to the bottom of the well. As he fell, the tartan sack (a kilt, actually, but they're so versitile) fell away from his eyes. His last view of the world was that of the lid eclipsing the sun.

A short time later, the villagers pulled the lid aside to see the consequences of their first mobbing. Far away in the depths they could see a body floating face down. No signs of abnormal strength had been displayed. No monstrous transformations had broken the bond. Eomer of the Rohirrim had been naught but a simple villager, and now he was dead.

NIGHT has begun. Werewolves, you may PM. Sherriffs, you may not. The Seer needs to get me a name, the Hunter needs to get me a name, the Ranger needs to get me a name, the Mytho needs to get me a name. Once the wolves have made a decision, they also need to get me a name.

My mistake then, I thought this implied you had something therefore I am willing to hear what you had to say and not rashly vote for you.
