The D-league vs. The Dark Monarch
Volume 2, Issue 2: Tough-actin morm-nactin

"I think Shasta protected me last night." said morm.

"Why?" asked Durelin.

"Yeah" said Lommy. "Why? Your such an easy lynch."

"I am?" morm wasn't understanding the issue.

:sigh: "You just have to make half of us distrust you and the other half your enemies." Mac did a *head-desk*

"Wait a second. Maybe since Nienna's back, we should hear what she has to say, before lynching anyone." said Rikae reasonably. "So...Nienna?"

"LYNCH MORM!" Nienna shouted.

"Good for me." said sally. "Bye, bye bear."

"Yep good bye Mr. bear." said Nienna.

"How are we going to do it?" asked tum "We still don't have any rope."

His athlete's foot gives him power boomed the disembodied voice again. Kill it and he will die.

"I really hate that man." scowled morm.

"That's it!" said Mira. "Tough-actin Tinactin!" No one seemed to know what she was talking about, except for morm who tried to make an escape, but was restrained in a chair by several heroes. "John Madden? Duh! Athlete's foot. Boom! Use tough-actin Tinactin."

Mira came back with the Tinactin athletes foot spray, no one knew where it came from, or how Mira got it. That plot hole is not important, what is important is they sprayed morm with the athlete's foot medicine. Amidst cries of "It burnsss us! It freezes!" the heroes saw morm's green fungus wither and he curled up.

Morm and his foot fungus, formed a symbiotic bond, one could not survive without the other. Morm was dead, and the heroes hung their heads once they realized there was no transformation.

Sorry this is going to be so anti-climatical. I can line up a few people to attest the many distractions the last 2 hours, add on top of that my laptop deciding not to work until 15 minutes ago. The narration will have to come later...

Rikae was offed by the villains and they have killed one of the BFFs.

The bear got to the Hunter Durelin, who did not pick a villain this night.

Rikae!


In other news, I think Rikae's friend should stay silent for as long as they can. Why give the baddies a known innocent to kill, right?


I'm leaning toward a Nessa lynch toDay, as I kind of explained yesterDay. Wish she'd have been the other candidate besides Morm, because I likely would have gone for her instead of him. Either way, she's top on my list.


Going to bed quite early tonight. Try not to die of shock, k?

(Back in about 12 hours or so, since I have that interview in the morning.)

Agreed.

I was going to do some analysis or something before bed but now I'm falling asleep and it will have to wait until morning (or mid-afternoon, as is more likely). *insert some comment about how we lost both our ranger and hunter in the course of two nights and we really need to buckle down and try to find the last three baddies before they kill another innocent*

I agree with sally that the other BFF should be quiet for now. Definitely don't need to give the wolves a known innocent.

At this time I'm leaning towards Form. Things could change.

I know I stated this in the Admin thread before the game, but a quick reminder. Today is a really busy day for me, and I won't be around much. I'll post as often as I can. I should be able to keep up with what is going on though, just might be a little harder to post.

*opens a can of whoop-****

Why did you people lynch morm? Foolish! Why on earth did you do that? There was not one sensible reason to do so, not one. If anyone even considers making a case against someone who didn't vote morm yesterDay, then...
Since 5 people voted for morm, obviously at least one of them must be innocent. I don't mean to be arrogant, but I hope that/those person/s spent some time reflecting on what exactly constitutes suspicious behaviour to him/her/them. YesterDay's performance just didn't cut it.

Durelin is dead, but her hunter-pick isn't. She voted for Form, but she didn't actually seem to suspect him that much (but was a bit coerced into voting for him, which was my fault, I fear ), so I doubt he was her pick. Likely she picked Nienna, maybe Lommy.

Nessa - probably innocent, but needs to be checked carefully.
Nerwen - cobbler, period.
Lommy - bear-hunch, but I will ignore that hunch toDay (also, would she be afraid to attack Durelin? Hmm..).
Mira - possible non-morm-voter-wolf (plus bear-hunch), but will ignore that for toDay.
Form - wolf, but I'm willing to listen to his or other's arguments against it.
Autume - probably innocent.
Nienna - her life suggests innocence, but we should not take that for granted.
Sally - should be kept on a very, very short leash.

Sally, I'd like to see a good case against Nessa, or I'll regard your wild suggestion to lynch her as an attempt of scapegoating.

Our numbers are growing small with our hunter gone with no kill and two wolves, the bear and the cobbler still being around. Actually, almost half of us are evil! (4/9) Well, at least that should make toDay's lynch easier. Hopefully.

autume- could be anything (although most probably an ordo, then a wolf)
Formendacil- lynch-worthy: I still think he has good chances of being either the bear or a wolf
Macalaure- has been innocent-looking this far, but one starts to wonder why is he still alive because no one suspects him (okay, if he has been supersuper innocent-looking then he might have been spared because the baddies wouldn't want to risk making the same kill) and anyway, he could be the bear
Mira- a questionmark, I always suspect her to some degree and she doesn't seem too innocent right now either
Nerwen- 50% cobbler, 25% wolf, 25% ordo
Nessa- seems rather innocent but I'm not ready to give her a free pass now
Nienna- also quite innocent, I don't understand where the suspicion against hem originally come from
sally- one of those wolf/cobbler/ordo people, very confusing in managing to look very innocent at times and very guilty at other time - bears watching and possibly lynching

I'm going to do my morning stuff *yawns* and then have a look at yesterDay, both at the votes and at whom Durelin suspected. Meanwhile the players who are around (no one?) can think about why she and Rikae got killed.

So right now I trust (as much as you can trust someone in ww) Mac and am very worried about Mira, Sally, and Lommy. I'd love to hear what Mira thinks about people and not just a summary of their posts. There is just something about the way she has been playing so far that gives me a weird feeling. It might be just because she hasn't been around but she needs to start posting more and telling us what she really thinks. We need all the innocents that we can right now.

Everyone else is on my to watch list.

As an explanation, that is in fact the reason why I suddenly thought Nienna was innocent yesterDay: a baddie could have come up with something better. Nienna, however, acted like a panicking ordo.

I just can't treat everybody like a suspect, so I will declare Nienna and Autume trustworthy for now. Subject to change.

Nienna, I'm very curious to hear what you think about the voting process yesterDay. As a possible victim, which votes do you think were suspicious?

Where is Form? I'm very unsure about him right now, and I need to read what he has to say to know whether I really have to look elsewhere.

Everybody except Lommy needs to give a lot more input if we want to get anywhere toDay. What happened to the 15-pages-in-one-day-talkativeness?

Autumne

Day 1

#129
Likes what phantom said about gifteds leaving clues
Wants to read through old games

#317
Likes what sallys said about voting Fea
Hakon is suspiciou

#338
Doesn't know whether to trust phantom or not
Little suspicious of Rikae

#353
Agrees with Rikae that phantom is suspicious

#357
Votes Hakon (after morm, Alona, and sally already had)

#482
Retracts Hakon, votes Pitchwife (after Shasta, Rikae, Nienna, and Hakon)
"Had a quick chance to go through the posts and at this point Pitchwife looks more suspicous than Hakon. I'll expand on this on Day 2. Just wanted to get this in."

Day 2

#494
Justifies vote by citing Rikae, Shasta, Inzil, and Shasta again as why Hakon didn't look suspicious enough to vote for.

#562
Doesn't see Rikae as a wolf or bear, doesn't see why people think she's suspicious
Wonders why phantom voted last minute when he proposed the artificial deadline in the first place

#563
Still doesn't know what to think of phantom

#613
Tells Nienna she already explained yesterday's vote

#619
"I learned a valuable lesson. I'll remember to leave explanations for the person I'm voting. I also will be more careful with my votes. I never intended to kill the Seer. It's just the way it happened."

#624
Echoes Alona's sentiment about not being very good at figuring out roles

#629
List! Doesn't think anyone is particularly suspicious.
Looks at Hakon vs. Pitchwife voters, only person who stands out is Shasta, but not particularly suspicous

#631

#637

#643
Elaborates on why doesn't think Mac, Alona, sally, and Nienna are innocent

#664
Agrees with Mac about Inzil and wants to know why Inzil voted morm

#674
Debates voting Inzil

#677
Votes Inzil
"1. I've had nothing against Rikae up to this point. I don't really like the way he went after Rikae or Mac earlier toDay. Nothing wrong in doing that. To me it just didn't look right.

2. He throws out some suspicions and doesn't back them up.

3. He asks a question of morm when morm isn't around to answer. Then goes ahead and votes for morm without explaining why.

4. After yesterday I'd rather get this vote in now and not be the deciding factor in killing a Gifted. "

Day 3

#779
Vote count and reasons

#800
Corrects sallys that she should be asking Lommy about retracted votes, not her

#814
Says needs to take a look at sally

Explains Inzil vote to Mac

#842

Doesn't know why Lommy switched her vote
Rikae doesn't seem like a baddie

#855
Enters debate with morm about meaning of "near top" of suspicion list

#860
Clarifies nickname mistake she made that led to vote confusion

#895
Feels like Alona and sally are innocent
What sally said about morm makes her suspect him more
Rikae seems innocent still

#949
Wants to keep an eye on Shasta and Mac

#954
"I'll answer for you and make it easier for everyone else. I don't think I have disagreed with you yet. I haven't seen anything to disagree with you on at this point." (to sally)

#970
Analyzes morm, concludes is still suspicious

#1001
Links to sally's 880 post

Day 4

#1121
"It is a sad day for us villagers. Shasta did a great deed by saving someone in the village. I just wish that he weren't dead."

#1212
Having second thoughts about Lommy
Still thinks morm is suspicious

#1217
Using what Form and Lommy said to further suspicion of morm

#1232
"First: That's a good point about morm. I will have to take that into consideration.

Second: Nessa is raising some flags. I'm not comfortable with her No Vote yesterday. She has been awfully quiet throughout the game. However that may mean nothing.

Third: I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling bad vibes coming from Lommy." (to Rikae)

#1236
Agrees with Rikae that Mira, Nienna, Nerwen, or Nessa is a wolf

#1246
Wants to hear from Mira about morm vote from yesterday

#1260
Looks at Alona and Nerwen

#1265
"Here's my order:
Nienna
Lommy
Morm
Nerwen
Form
Sally
Mira
Durelin
Rikae
Mac"

#1282
Leaning towards Form

#1287
Would feel comfortable going after Nienna or sally

#1293
Explains to Rikae why doesn't think sally is evil
"I've heard that she's pretty straight forward when she's an innocent and will even say so. She doesn't tend to lie. It was mentioned twice in previous posts. Don't remember where. I do remember her stating she's an ordo. Unfortunately I don't remember what post that was. I'm thinking somewhere on Day 2. As you know Sally talks a lot and I'm not sure I'd find it in 20 mins."

#1295
Votes Nienna

#1323
Agrees with that Mac that splitting non-morm votes between Nienna and Form isn't a good idea, but did it herself

Day 5

#1345
Agrees with sally that the other BFF should be quiet
Leaning towards Form

~~~~~

If we go on my theory from yesterday that autume is Alona's packmate, I would think that sally is their third based on the way she always defends her. However, she also thought Rikae was innocent and made a point of saying it. This could be perfectly innocent, or she wanted to make it clear that she didn't suspect her so people wouldn't be suspicious when Rikae was killed by the wolves.

Unfortunately, I have to (once again) leave () and won't be back for deadline, so I'm going to have to vote now. Autume still looks suspicious to me so that's who I'm going with.
