WW XXIIX - Queer Lodgings

[Boromir88]

Surely you would not consider you friends for wolves? Obviously a dwarf would not have done this! That leaves the burglar, the fake wizard and the big guy. . .~Runi

I would agree with Runi. No dwarf could ever do this. Not ever.~Bofrod

How convenient, three of them, non of them dwarves, and three werewolves. I SAY DOWN WITH THEM!!! I know no dwarf would ever do something like this.~Lord Durin

Ai! Three dwarves insisting no dwarf could ever do such a thing and we look at all the 'non-dwarves.' It may be overwhelming pride but smells like at least 1 wolf behavior to me. Aye, it does.

Of our non-brothers, I'd be the first to call for the lynching of Beornomien. I've seen her rage on the battlefield, she was a demon possessed I say. And can't control herself when she transforms into a bear. But I've seen the wrath, she was even impervious to weapons! There is something evil about that man-bear berserker. Beornomien...'is that your....
...
ID-ent-TI-TY!?'

I rally behind my Lord...Thorin Anguirelshield. What has little Baggins ever done to anyone here? I'm so ashamed to be in the company of such ungrateful dwarves...I've never felt this ashamed in my life. This little Baggins has risked his neck and saved our skins more than just once. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

[Durelin]

Well, if we're using logic here, I say, if Bomburlass doesn't get it tonight, she must be one of the dark creatures. She's got the most meat on her, thus a wolf could not resist.

And Dori, Nori, and I are not the only ones who rhyme, thank you. Fili, Kili, and Bali...Bili...yeah...

[Nogrod]

I kind of like this: a game opening this early. Good!

Three nice moves (Runi, myself and Lord Durin), trying to clear the view from the dwarves to non-dwarves in the very beginning. Very nice indeed. But also very much in a tone of in-character (or in-story). Easy to begin with and as such not so serious. Still a good place for a wolf to hide within, or then not. Too much in the open, I think.

Then a nice move by Dori88, making us note it and to give an air of clearheaded and quick-witted innocentness to him. That too is quite light, but a bit more serious.

Then I suggest we look also Dori88, still a light one, but a step more serious again.

With this start I would be keen to look at those not able to take off the in-story stuff early enough. I think you know my ways...

[Volo]

Voin Good ("I steal from the rich (dragons) and give to the poor (dwarves)."), or Voloin here, at last. I was picking flowers, I'll give a flower to each of you and leave myself one. Each of us can give a flower to the scariest of us and the one who gets most flowers shall be looked at closer. Wouldn't that be a good idea?

I still think that it is a mistake you, Meneltarbo, didn't take your niece, Friko, with us. Although I can't know it yet, as Friko isn't even born, but she's a good lass.

Oh, so sad... But enough of sadness. Little advice can I give, but Bofgrod says true, or so I fear, Dorimor or as you call him, Dori88 has a scary air around him. I fear his words.

Of our non-brothers, I'd be the first to call for the lynching of Beornomien. I've seen her rage on the battlefield, she was a demon possessed I say. And can't control herself when she transforms into a bear. But I've seen the wrath, she was even impervious to weapons! There is something evil about that man-bear berserker. Beornomien...'is that your....
...
ID-ent-TI-TY!?'

Is he trying to give somebody a sign here, why would he say something that way. I have seen him giving, rather misleading, but clues anyway, in a strange manner.

Or is just a joke, I think not...

...I think it's time to sleep.

[Farael]

I perhaps am getting old and grumpy, but I think we are all playing too carefully. So I'll be the first one to say

KILL NILP!!! he will thank you for it anyway.

and now I must go to er.... not-die. (I.e: I've got class in real life, be back later on tonight)

Sooo, Durelori, you say this so when I do get it tonight you can claim that someone was setting you up .
While I do agree that I would be a most tender meal, I disagree that I was one of these fiends. I like my sleep too much.

But as to who would do such nasty things in the house of our most esteemed host I haven't a clue.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Quite much accusing and defending concerning Mr. Baggins here, and yet he hasn't even dared to utter a word after the grisly waking. While waiting for other people to speak their mind, I might as well say a few things.

I wonder, what makes Dori88 advertisese his wolf list so much, and if he was soundly asleep as he was supposed to, when did he have the time to write the list in the first place? Well, you say it is wolvish to accuse our non-dwarvish companions, but you agree that Beornómien seems evil. Indeed, I've heard that wolves can turn against one another to fool the innocents, but if that's the case, we might find out when the conversation gets more lively.

As for Voloin's comment about "ID-ent-TI-TY", well, I thought Dori was implying that our host could transform into an Ent, but then again, I'm not exactly sure how that would prove that she's guilty.

'Nomen est omen', some say, but since no one's name here is simply Mr. Wolf or Ms. Lycan, I think I need more evidence for myself in this matter than Eomi here.

I have to say, though, that Orilin seems to spend more time with the porter than pondering this problem...

Some seriousness is indeed in order as the day keeps growing older. I need to go braiding my beard now, but I'll see you in ten. Hours, that is.

[Boromir88]

Hmmm...I think dwarves here are trying to overthink themselves into trouble. Aye, that's what I say.

There's nothing coded at all, just two awful attempts of seeing how creative I can be. There is a common theme of puns/parodies for pure enjoyment and creativity I'm doing in my posts. If no one can see it, there's nothing I can do. Which means no Miss Spawn, I wasn't saying Beornomien can morph into an ent. It was a bad attempt of a play off a person's infamous lines. I was considering doing a 'Deal or No Deal' gag, but that's too obvious and not creative enough.

Before I depart for a brief while, just some general comments here...Lord Durin is innocent and Miss Spawn is innocent. Congratulations, you two are not the weakest link. Good bye.

[Anguirel]

Dori88 was rather flatteringly servile earlier. I would be suspicious, but then, after all, I do deserve it, being the King Under The Mountain and all.

As things stand I will probably vote for Durin the Dead because his claims of overlordship and his rotting stench irk me. However, I of course have plenty of time to make up my mind.

Dori's unilateral declarations of innocence may be another mysterious gameshow joke or may be a throwback to the style of the phantoms of old. Either way, I don't like them much, I'm afraid.

I also noticed Bomburlass was quite quick to get back to Durelori about an apparently light hearted joke...maybe I should vote for her, striking down the unclean like a hammer on an anvil...

[Anguirel]

Oh, and, goodnight, loyal subjects...

[Kitanna]

Ai! Three dwarves insisting no dwarf could ever do such a thing and we look at all the 'non-dwarves.' It may be overwhelming pride but smells like at least 1 wolf behavior to me. Aye, it does.

I believe Bori88 makes a valid point with this. Of course chances of all three being are fanged fiends is near impossible, however perhaps one hides among those.

At the moment I rule out Runi. He was the first to say it and I take that as the usual first post in-character jest. Looking at the other two I come up with little to say on innocence or guilt. But perhaps one enemy hides among them.

I think Dori, Nori and Ori are the wolves. What Countess of Chance could resist placing the curse on the rhyming three. Certainly not I, Kili, and I'm not even a Countess! That can mean only that she was even more likely to give in to that delicious temptation — if my reasoning is valid, which it is not.

Interesting, but there are also four sets of rhyming names.
Balin
Dwalin
Gloin
Oin
Dori
Nori
Ori
Fili
Kili
So if the Countess of Chance wanted to play that game with us then she could have picked one name from each rhyming group (excluding one) and thus putting yourself in the same catergory as you placed Ori, Dori, and Nori.

Dori's unilateral declarations of innocence may be another mysterious gameshow joke or may be a throwback to the style of the phantoms of old. Either way, I don't like them much, I'm afraid.

He's a clever one and make no mistake. I am a bit of worried over his declaration of the innocents, but the fact he used "you are not the weakest link" throws me off. As you said Anguriel Oakenshield, it could just be another gameshow throwback. Bori88 is crafty when evil, yet extremely helpful when innocent.

[Valier]

Oh what a mess...I seem to be a little under the weather (RL) and may not be able to participate as much as I would like today. I will be on frequently to read, but don't expect much from this here old Wizard today.

[Meneltarmacil]

Oh, dear me! This adventure has been one disaster after another. First Trolls, then Stone-Giants, then Goblins, Gollum, and Wargs, and now werewolves?

Why did I ever let Valier push me out of my door like that? I just wish I were back in my cozy Hobbit-hole having afternoon tea, rather than dodging wolves and suspicious Dwarves...

Dori88 does strike me as somewhat odd lately, what with this mysterious "Wolf List" of his and declaring people innocent at random. Plus, he did drop me on my head back in the tunnels, and I'm not too happy about that...

[Nogrod]

I'm pulling off for some beard-trimming too.

But just a couple of things before it as I seem to be somewhat bad in this in-character game anyhow.

From what has passed this far - and it's early, no question about it - I would say that I would be highly reluctant to help with the lynching of Nori88, Dwalin Dwancing Spawn of Fundin, Durin the Deathless or Voloin as they have actually been playing the game with some openness. And looking at the latest, I should include our lord Thorin Anguirelshield to my list as he seemed to start making points.

Others taking part so far have been very careful indeed and that raises my suspicions, always.

Runi only has made a shielding of the dwarves in-character -style.

Glóanna said we should look for Meneltarbo the burglar in-character style.

Kathin made an erroneous (?) statement about the twins and said she had nothing to say.

Orilin has called for Voloin for a drink and thrown jokes about Bomburlass...

Eomi has pointed to there being no logic and thence given a random list of suspects.

Bomburlass has been quick to defend and telling us she has no clue.

All these I find highly more suspicious than the aforementioned five. But there are also five of us who have not yet opened their mouths, so I'll leave any further judgements to later on...

EDIT: X-d with Kitanna and Valier...

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I've no idea who's accusing who. You're all making up names and it is confusing me. I am going to vote for one of the people who, for some inexplicable reason, called me, Kili, Eomi.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

++DANCING SPAWN OF UNGOLIANT

Previously, to me at least, known as Dwalin. Let us see what comes of it.

[Nogrod]

Just a quick note in referral to Glóanna...

What the wolves would like to do? To jump on any even remotely believable sounding suspicion in the very early on and back it (like she did with the three dwarves stating in-character in the beginning, following Bori88). My forefathers have used that tactics pretty succesfully many times. Or trying to crerate a feeling of random (like she did with going for the rhyme-stuff).

I'm not saying I'm suspecting Glóanna a lot, but surely she has managed to raise my eyebrows with her latest. Even if I hold the overall theory quite plausible. The thing is in the way she seemed so happy to cling into it and even use about the exact words Bori88 used... that sounds a bit suspicious.

You should vote for Oddwen, then...

EDIT: X'd with Eomer

[Nogrod]

Dori88 = Bori88 = Nori88 = Sorry88.
