TOL-IN-GAURHOTH XII, Erbar Telamarth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I must confess, by the time we were down to the last five, before the final wolf killed her prey, I too was thinking about the cursed. Both aspects occurred to me - how on earth were we to find out someone who had posted in honest innocence so far? It could be any of us, and I started plotting combination lynchings of a "known" innocent and alternately Enca and Fea.

On the other hand, it very briefly occurred to me that I could be the cursed, though I didn't think phantom would have set me up for that role. And you know what? I almost wished to be! It would have been fun to switch roles mid-game, especially since no one ever seriously suspected me.

Honestly, I was half-expecting the phantom to be so thoroughly tempted to switch the cursed that night, the village would wake up with an extra wolf anyway, regardless Enca's choice. Alas, he had more self control than I'd guessed.

Of all people to find this, of course it's me. I've spotted #9 Lord Phantom

"Aahh- he said the word!" cried a passing Knight Who Says Ni.

Obviously being Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And the word that can't be "said" being "it."

I'm not sure what you're looking for in twelve, but you kind of played off how everyone acted that day. For instance morm being the guy who suggested we analyze the person below us...

Quote:

"I say that we thoroughly analyze every single villager," suggested Mormegil.

Then me and Fea, bickering. Claiming I'm innocent and the Seer dreamed of me and her constantly wanting me dead.

Quote:

"You'll die if you do! And who cares if you're innocent- you'll deserve to die," countered Boromir.

Something I said many times. I especially got a kick out of this.

Quote:

"Let's double lynch," said morm.

"Let's not," agreed Boro.

"Let's do both," added Enca, helpfully.

"Or perhaps we should do neither," assented Fea.

And this...

Quote:

"Well," said Fea, "Boro has been right every time and has provided us with lots of entertainment. Let's kill him."

That's basically how I felt her argument was. Let's lynch the most helpful villager, because he's pulling our chain.

Quote:

"I'm just going to do whatever morm says," said Underhill and Esty in chorus.

That was quite in character I think. Then finally tgwbs' and my suicide at the end.

I don't know exactly what you were looking for, but that's basically want went on in that chaotic, suicidal, Day 4.

Yes, Boro, you spotted the random Monty Python I threw in.

As far as #12 goes, you spotted a lot of the stuff I included that reflected the behavior of the villagers, but you left out a certain recurring theme that I thought was particularly funny.

Besides that, the only thing that's left is #5 I believe. I figured Fea would've snagged it by now.

Ah, that was it. Not Hitchhiker's Guide. Still, I busted a gut.

I get all those English comedies confused.
