Tol-in-Gaurhoth XX: Wereorc I: The elves cannot hide themselves much longer. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kitanna · 04-13-2006, 04:38 PM

The people who have been voted for are pretty spread out it looks like.
Roa~ What Spawn said against Roa made sense, but it's not enough for me to vote for her myself.
Diamond~ Her behavior has been noted as odd today. She stated earlier she is pretty much enjoying her in character oppurtunites of day one. For today I'm going to just let that slide, but if it continues into tomorrow...
Glirdan~ Don't really have an opinion on him. I don't find him overly suspicious in any way.
Jenny~ Same as Glirdan.
Sleepy~ I'm annoyed by Sleepy's vote for Jenny. He stated he was going to vote randomly and Jenny voiced her opinion about it. A rather childish way to vote. Sleepy knew his vote was going to meet with disapproval, he has been pleading for us to let him stay alive. It would seem like far too wreckless a thing for someone to do, but past experiences have taught us wreckless actions mean little when it comes to werecreatures. Tempted to vote for him...

++ Sleepy Ranger

I don't even care if my reasons are bad. The plea for life (for lack of a better phrase) on Day one, before any suspicions had been cast on him is too much for me. It would appear to be foolish for a wereorc, but nothing ever seems to be too foolish in these games.

Is the game ending in 6 minutes or an hour? Good god, I have come in very late (got very screwed up about the time) and I don't know if I have to quickly vote, which I don't want to do since I haven't had a chance to read all the posts. Please say I have an hour.

Farael · 04-13-2006, 05:02 PM

You do have another hour, read above

Why do I keep on talking in my own game? I love it though, I miss playing WW.... maybe I should join this game =P I bet you villagers would love that.

Sleepy Ranger · 04-13-2006, 05:04 PM

Caranlondien you should've voted for me.

Celuien · 04-13-2006, 05:12 PM

Another hour? Nice. I thought I would have a chance to come back.

Rather strange.

I wonder. Should I regret my vote for Diamond?

At the same time, it's an awfully brazen thing for an orc to say.

Oh me, I'm just strange, contradictory and weird in general. Ok time for an obnoxious confession, I've been trying to get myself lynched today. Why? Maybe I'll tell you later but anyway it seems I won't be getting lynched today... Lets see what happens. *Eats an apple.* Theres plenty if anyone wants one.

Roa_Aoife · 04-13-2006, 05:33 PM

Don't mind him- he's been killed either on Day 1 or Night 1 of the past few games he's been in, and he's trying to go for a record.

...Dork...

You really put us, who have not voted yet (six with my count), into a very weird situation Sleepy! You are playing now with quite high stakes... and I'm not sure, whether it is wise for the village, or for you.

As I go through the thread, I find myself in trouble concerning who to vote for, and then you come and just offer us every reason to lynch you! Maybe you really want to get out of the game, or then are a cunning wolf - more cunning than in the last game? You puzzle me...

If you are innocent, and we lynch you, its just a needless death - and we are one down...

EDIT: X-posted with Roa - and kind of see her point, and that would be weird...

I see. Attempted Nilp impersonation. But you should have voted for yourself instead of Jenny to do that properly.

Still doesn't get you off the hook as far as I'm concerned.

At any rate, Jenny expressed suspicion of Nogrod here. I tend to believe in his innocence because of the discussion over his plan to reveal dreams. I disagree with the plan, and still think that it would benefit the orcs. BUT, if Nogrod were an orc, I would have expected him to back off as soon as potential orc benefits were pointed out. Instead, he defended the idea while admitting flaws, which seems to indicate genuine motivation rather than orcish scheming. Besides, he's generally been well-reasoned and informative today.

Diamond18 · 04-13-2006, 05:34 PM

Okay. Good.

Alright, I'm going to apologize in advance for this post, because I just spent the last 20 minutes having a panic attack because as soon as I made my post, the 'Downs stopped responding, and then other things started going wonky on my computer, and I was literally swearing like a sailor at it and running around in circles screaming. Well okay, not the circles part. But my hands did start to shake, which makes me think I'm far too invested in this. I'll leave the disturbing self-analysis for another time, however.

Okay, a quick and panicked review of the posts reveals that I've come under a lot of suspicion for my in character comments early in the day. This, I find absurd. It's Day 1, and what's more it was early in Day 1 when I made my posts. I don't see the point of picking characterizations if actually putting them to use is "nonsense" and "unsubstantial" and worthy of getting lynched. Excuse me for trying to have a little fun in this game, instead of pretending to find something in nothing. I have to admit I find it a little funny watching people analyze little nothing posts, saying that they hate Day 1 because there's nothing to go on, then jumping on people for no apparent reason. I think a little lightening up is in order. The times when werecreatures have been successfully lynched on Day 1 are probably more luck than anything, or the work of a lucky Seer who had a successful first night dream. So you won't see me sitting around going, "S/he posted mostly in character the first day, how worthless, let's lynch!" Tomorrow I'll actually try to find meaning in all this. But what I see now is mostly villagers casting about in the dark, and to lynch someone because she was trying to enjoy the game when there was nothing else really to do is just silly.

I would be more inclined to vote for people who didn't show up at all, or posted very short posts that were neither in character nor having a theory of their own. I was at least getting something out of the game.

That all said, I'm going to have to vote for Glirdan if I want to save my own butt. Whether he's innocent or guilty I have no idea, but it seems the way the votes have gone that's my wisest choice.

+ + Glirdan

Anyway, excuse the somewhat upset tone of this post, because I'm still worked up into a frenzy over my computer trying to drive me insane and was sure for a few minutes there that I had completely missed the deadline.

Nogrod · 04-13-2006, 05:39 PM

Diamond!

It's so nice to see you back as your usual self! My suspicions are dropped immediately... for the time being, of course.

Grendelien · 04-13-2006, 05:53 PM

Ah, I've been beating my brains over this this choice for some time..this is a very difficult decision to make. It is true that Diamond18's posts lack significant substance, which is suspicious, but the detailed analyses of each elf (or orc) by certain players, such as Celuien and Norgrod could be a diversion. It's really hard to say. My suspicions of everyone are high at this point. However, I will have to cast my vote for

++Glirdan

mostly because I am suspicious of some of those who voted for Diamond18. I know this is not a good reason to vote for someone, but it's the only reason I have at this point.

Grendelien · 04-13-2006, 05:54 PM

Sorry I spelled your name wrong, Nogrod!...my fingers just don't want to cooperate today.
