Why do you want or even think he would give us advice? Do you now think he's innocent?

Wait...is that a confession?

On the more serious side, nice playing with you buddy. If you're not evil, my apologies. If you are....well, it's a family board. (Kidding, sweetie, kidding)


EDIT: x'd with our moddess, but I'm sure it's not fair to offer commentary. In that case, tomorrow.

Silmaril Day 5

The next morning only one from among the Lonely Hearts was missing. Aganzir, whose life had been spared the night before, was left to her fate and met it grimly in the night. Her body was found, not in her bed, but cut into several pieces and scattered about her room, with her head hanging over the mantelpiece. Yes. It was gruesome.

The Living Lonely Hearts Club:

Groin
Gollum
Nogrod
Brinniel
Sally
Shasta
Gwath
Fea
Eomer

Hearts Which Have Stopped Beating:

Diamond (Lonely Heart)
Lommy (Lonely Heart)
Legate (Lonely Heart)
Lalaith (Lonely Heart)
Eönwë (Lonely Heart)
Kitanna (Lonely Heart)
Rikae (Lonely Heart)
Macalaure (Lonely Heart)
McCaber (Tristan)
Greenie (Isolde)
Aganzir (Lonely Heart)

Fea's not dead; if she wasn't lying, she's cleared another ordo. Nogrod is still alive; his innocence really depends on Fea.

Right now, I'm feeling quite bad about Eomer, but have nothing concrete. I'll go back and look at him.

And I voted McCaber the day before yesterday because I had a major bad feeling about one of his posts; while I'm looking at Eomer, I'll see if I can't find it.

Red Zone:
Eomer

Orange Zone:
Groin
Gollum
Gwath - I keep forgetting he's playing!


Yellow Zone:
Sally

Green Zone:
Brinniel
Fea
Nogrod

Rawr. That's attractive.


Alternatively, did anyone else find Brinn's post yesterDay a tad....well, furry? The one at the end of the Day, right after Cabbie and I are talking about his 'last words' of wisdom and he tells me to read some tragic poetry or whatever. He offers Romeo/Juliet and Tristan/Isolde (along with the mega-awesome Dr. Horrible) as good choices, and then Brinn asks him if he's confessing. I mean, it's not so much that she caught on to his romance insinuation, but that he mentioned his specific lover pairing and Brinn did kind of a double take (or at least in my head she went "bwah?!?!" and then posted)

Either way, between that little bit of awkward and the whole "Fea can't possibly be the seer" thing I'm not finding her nearly as innocent as I did before. What do you all think?

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Di, I love you for calling the Day slightly early. Not only am I still alive, but I'm also able to go to bed a bit earlier than I expected.

My busy-ness is (at least for the most part) over, so I should be posting more as well, just so you all know. Sorry, the last several days were just murder, no pun intended. Good night all!

~~Sally~~


EDIT: x'd with Shasta

EDIT #2: the italicized bit, because I have no business

Just noticed this. No, m'dear Brinn, I didn't magically think he was innocent, I was just hoping he'd maybe say something and slip up somehow, maybe give us a clue to another lover by mistake (which seems more and more plausible now). That and I was bored.



Okay. Really off to bed now.

How could he give us a clue to another lover when even he didn't know who they are for sure? And I don't know if he'd really care anyway, considering they are on opposite teams.

On Eomer:

#98. Thinks it's dangerous to metagame too much, and that there are probably some active baddies. Votes Rikae.

#233. Evidences puzzlement at the number of kills. Thinks it might be wise to pick someone who wasn't involved with Lalaith and killing them. Defends his vote for Rikae as "stirring the pot".

#266. Concerned with the paranoia of the village. Extolls the virtue of basing speculation on fact. Thinks Kitanna is suspicious for being the nth person to think that Legate was killed because it was thought that he was a lover.

#290. Doesn't see any point in analyzing the deaths. Goes heavily into metagame.

#297. Lists reactions to the deaths of Legate and Lalaith. Really goes after Kitanna because of her reaction.

#302. More attacking Kitanna.

#303. N/A.

#305. Actually votes Kitanna.

#390. Defends quiet players. Doesn't think Mac's suspicions are enough to bother defending against.

#400. Goes a little overboard on wondering why Nogrod was attacked. Apparently, Eomer thinks Nogrod is dead, or at least that's the tone of this post. Tries to build suspicion on Mac because of one of Nogrod's post, and Mac and Greenie for having not been voted.

#405. Thinks the bandwagon on Gollum is dangerous. Still trying to get Mac or Greenie lynched.

#408. Says the Kitanna-kill was sensible. Thinks the attack on Nogrod wasn't a bluff? I don't understand what he's saying here, but it's the first part I'm most concerned with.

#411. Thinks a vote for Mac would be considered spite. Votes Greenie. Still thinks feelings are overrated.

#491. Thinks it was obvious that Mac was in trouble, given Rikae's hints and Nogrod's willingness to vote him. Can't figure out what Rikae meant. Thought Rikae really looked suspicious, so find the bandwagon on her unsuspicious.

#496. Thinks that Rikae's insistence that Agan was innocent is confusing. Throws out a theory that Rikae was the Seer's lover... then turns around and shoots it down himself.

#513. Playerlist. Ponders starting to lynch females, because he's suspicious of Greenie and Brinniel for reasons he can't articulate. Ponders same-sex couples.

#514. N/A.

#522. Thinks the same as Nogrod does about Brinniel; that she's suspicious. However, is very wary of Nogrod and Aganzir; doesn't want to let them off just because they were saved by the Ranger.

#524. Explains to Nogrod his reaction to Rikae's vote for Gollum and why he thought it was going to become a bandwagon.

#527. Votes Gwath as a throwaway vote. No real explanation.

------------------------------------------------------------

The underlined posts are the ones that give me the most bad feeling. I really think I see some kind of Eomer/Brinniel connection, I don't like the way Eomer was so gung-ho about lynching Kitanna and then became extremely defensive/matter-of-fact about her death and subsequent clearance, and I don't like how he was trying to pour suspicion on Mac earlier. His suspicion of Greenie does nothing to clear him since it's clear they weren't teammates.

I'll post more tomorrow, but it's time for bed for me. Good night!

Sally's innocent.

Also, I lied about dreaming about Rikae because I wanted to keep Eomer alive. He's the Guardian.

Really, Brinn? I know you feel the need to play the token skeptic, but the more you doubt me the more I believe you are a danger to the village. I can't condemn you because I haven't dreamed of you, not wishing to flirt with death more than necessary. But that doesn't mean I can't list you as my top suspect for the Day.

Or rather, the more I doubt you the more you believe I'm a danger to you. Because the more you post, the more confident I am that you're evil.

Really, I think we all know how deceptful Fea can be, but I give her props for trying. But there is no reason why anyone should trust her (well, except perhaps the lovers if she isn't one herself ).

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night depending on where you may be, fellow players. I am finally here. Now to make this post something of note...

Not sure:

Shasta
Gwath
Groin
Sally


Really not sure:

Nogrod
Fea
Eomer
Brinn.

In short, I don't know what to say about just about anybody.

Always worth a try, don't you know? Besides, like I said, I was bored. Is it really that big of a deal? Not to mean this in a rude way, but it seems you're making a bigger thing out of that than it needs to be.

Fea, must you tell the world? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the attention and all, but....well, the ranger just needs to be my friend, I suppose.


Alternatively, to the last bit. Bwah?!?!?
