Still silence?

I can explain that, I suppose -

Kath is away ( and probably wouldn't talk much as a wolf)

Shasta and Diamond are fairly quiet by disposition (in this game anyway)

I am busy and lazy

Gil is staying schtum which is exactly what he would, as a wolf, do at this point.

I have to act to provoke some action...

++GIL

Lord! 40 minutes till the deadline, heading for a randomised triple lynch and not a soul seems to care...

I have no intention of changing my vote to Diamond if there's a fighting chance I can get Gil lynched. 33% isn't that bad, and I have long been a devotee of Lady Luck...

Well, I'm all for lynching Gil. I think he's the guiltiest looking one here. And now after Kath's vote I'm more torn than before about her and Ang... though that may be knee-jerk defensiveness. Ang is coming across as a lot more geniune now, at any rate.

Well -

+ + GIL

Arrgh...I'm having Doubts...would a wolf-Gil be so obvious in technique...?

Zombie Gil-Galad had been suspected from the day he refused to take a canonical role. His erratic behavior and strange voting choices made him the logical choice for the day's lynching.

Anguirel quite simply, for lack of anything better to do, grabbed a sword and unceremoniously lopped off the undead elf's head.

The four Downers waited for the transformation...but instead, heard a voice lamenting softly and at a great distance:

"Gil-galad was an elven king, Of him the harpers sadly sing. Last of realms fair and free, Between the mountains and the sea."

The four turned and looked at each other. Di stared at Kath, wide eyed. Kath gazed fearfully at Ang. Ang looked at Shasta....

Shastanis Althreduin grinned, and his teeth seemed unusually sharp and un-elven...
The high Lady Diamond18 began to chuckle quietly, but the laughter ended in a snarl...

FIN

I guess the riddle was of Diamond? Well, if it was, I realised it on the moment when I had read my death narration. Don't ask why, but I had thought it was about Kath and that she was innocent. I've never been good at riddles.

A wonderful game, thanks for Rikae & fellow players. And congratulations for the Wolves. I was so certain this would end up this way.

And to think I feared the game was unbalanced in favor of the ordos!
Both sides put up a valient fight; it could have gone either way today. Very exciting to watch as a mod!
I'm happy to answer any questions now.

I would have been on earlier to vote Gil, but my aunt was waiting for a phone call.

We done good, my siblings.

Maybe now people will take lynching quiet players seriously.

Three of the last day players had post counts lower than the moderator! ...and you lynched the only one that wasn't a wolf....

Now Rikae.. can you explain what was going on with the gifted?
