Eleven minutes left. I wonder how the votes are coming?
Oh wait. Anyone not voted?

Oh yes the DL is near... I think I would vote Wilwa too. Shasta would be a good option and I'm backing away on Brinn a bit because her being sort of offended now doesn't look wolvish... but because I keep putting her and Wilwa into the same THEKaGory (
 ) in my head, I'm sort of convinced one of them (at least) has to be bad and I'm leaning on Wilwa...

Is it just me or is Nerwen eerily quiet this game? As in, I know she's been posting and such, but every time I go to make a list I keep leaving her off because I forget she's playing/still alive. Anyone else getting that vibe?
EDIT: x'd with the two living Finns

 Yeah, me too. Of course since I can't help suspecting you I'm concerned at how much we're agreeing. I'll have to take another look at you as well, because you're looking quite innocent recently so you may have slipped down my list a bit (not because we're agreeing, but just your general manner and stuff).

DEADLINE
Stop posting, people. Pitchwife is lynched, being a... Werewolf. Narration coming up hopefully soon, meanwhile, Night folks can start doing their stuff.

Expedition Journal - Night 5 Entry
It was a most peculiar turn of events which caused us to execute our chief marine biologist.
Looking back, I do not know whether it was the growing unrest among us or if it was something else that caused us to abandon our scientific principles and follow the young girl's voice. It was on the very day when we have descended into the mysterious cavern that she claimed she had a vision of our marine biologist transforming into a wolf. She was so resolute in her claims, I am wondering myself why we have not dismissed her words as another manifestation of the stress of the previous days... yet for some strange reason, we all seemed to feel that we should trust her. That said, I have known her for a long time - as long as I have known her father, sir Michael, who has been generously funding many of the earlier projects of me and my colleagues. Sir Michael Bishop was a rich and very open-handed man when it came to financing scientific projects, and ever since he inherited his sister's husband's funds after her death, his generosity knew no bounds. Yet his daughter has never been of the scholarly type - she joined us, I suspect, mainly because of the adventure and a young lady's zeal for things like polar bears, whales and things related to ecology - a peculiar trait among many young people of this age. And indeed, her presence has been sometimes uncomfortable to some of the more professionaly-oriented expedition members. Yet this time, she came with her esoterically sounding claims - and we concurred. And our feelings have paid off. This time, we could already notice the changes in the anathomy of our marine biologist just when we turned to him. Now it was unanimous - and as the gunshots echoed through the frozen landscape, our ex-marine biologist stumbled and fell into the crevice opening behind him, the very one our young assistant had marked earlier on. And so it was partially for the reason to see what had happened to our marine biologist that we have decided to descend into that dark place. We wanted to see that he is dead, we wanted to verify what we have been imagining: we wanted to see his motionless body lying down there in the shape of a wolf. The fissure was wide enough for us to descend down there, and armed with electric torches we entered a cavern far larger than the crack above would have indicated. Yet the first thing we have noticed upon our descent was that the body of our marine biologist was not there. It took us a while until the flashlights stumbled upon what we have been looking for - tufts of dark fur and trail of blood leading away - towards a black entrance yawning in the northern part of the cavern. Excited, but somehow reluctant at the same time, we cautiously followed the trail. It was clear now what our marine biologist was, yet we wanted to find the final confirmation of his fate. And something was also telling us that by following his path, we may get closer to unveiling the mystery of this strange prison of ice. LIVING MEMBERS OF THE EXPEDITION: Boromir88 - senior assistant to a professor of glaciology Eomer of the Rohirrim - sea pilot Loslote - rich funder's spoiled daughter Morsul - federal grants lawyer Brinn - polar bear biologist Nogrod - old palaeoecologist with is own theory of climate change Macalaure - palaeomathematician sally - the original initiator of the expedition Thinlómien - whale expert Nerwen - mechanic Bes - room/store manager Shasta - sled-dog handler wilwa - crewmember GONE: Roa - survival guide - died on blood loss from Werewolf attack on Day 2 (left game, innocent) Mnemosyne - field medic - shot by the survival guide on Day 2 (Werewolf) Inziladun - meteorologist - killed by Werewolves on Night 3 (innocent) tromkehra - cook/bartender - left aboard the ship on Day 3 (left game, innocent) Nienna - navigator - shot on her way back to the ship on Day 3 (innocent) Greenie - senior assitant to important scientists in the company, killed by Werewolf on Night 4 (innocent) Pitchwife - marine biologist - unambiguously executed by the expedition on Day 4 (Werewolf)

Expedition Journal - Day 5 Entry
We could not have foreseen yet the vastness of the cavernous maze that we have entered. The corridor through which we have been following the trail of the thing that once used to be our marine biologist was but a crack in the wall, wide enough for us to walk through in a line, with uneven floor and walls of basaltic rock. It was seemingly but one of the many shafts piercing the heart of the island, a feature quite common inside such land masses of volcanic origin, but unforeseen by explorers such as Vize and Schmidt, who have likely been to these parts of the Arctic. The fact that this cavern was free of ice and water implied that the complex - however likely descending under the sea level - never surfaced with any of its many shafts except at the very top, the once ice-corked crevasse through which we have entered.
We have had enough electric torches with enough power for many hours of walk, however, we have decided to save the batteries as much as we can and thus only three at a time have been lit. We were all curious how the creature we followed could see in this underground darkness - yet this has been once again the source of the debate mainly for our two remaining biologists. Meanwhile, the rest of us have been following the trail and eventually, we were forced to make a decision. The way in front of us split into two and now we could not find any trails of blood at the crossing. That meant we could either give up, continue blindly through one of the corridors or split. We were not too keen on either of these options, but we did not want to leave without the confirmation of our former crewmember's fate. Eventually, we decided to split and to walk just a short distance through both of the corridors to see if we can find any further trail in either of them. Our pilot would remain at the crossing and wait. These have been the two ill-fated mistakes we have made. The first one we realised when an inhuman scream came from the crossing where we have left our pilot, and running back, we could not find anything more than his mutilated body lying on the icy stone floor in the cold light of our electric torches. There was no trace of the attacker anymore, yet we could be sure that even in the darkness nobody got past us. The second mistake, as I see now clearly, was to continue in our foolish pursuit into the depths of that forbidding cavernous maze at all. LIVING MEMBERS OF THE EXPEDITION: Boromir88 - senior assistant to a professor of glaciology Loslote - rich funder's spoiled daughter Morsul - federal grants lawyer Brinn - polar bear biologist Nogrod - old palaeoecologist with is own theory of climate change Macalaure - palaeomathematician sally - the original initiator of the expedition Thinlómien - whale expert Nerwen - mechanic Bes - room/store manager Shasta - sled-dog handler wilwa - crewmember GONE: Roa - survival guide - died on blood loss from Werewolf attack on Day 2 (left game, innocent) Mnemosyne - field medic - shot by the survival guide on Day 2 (Werewolf) Inziladun - meteorologist - killed by Werewolves on Night 3 (innocent) tromkehra - cook/bartender - left aboard the ship on Day 3 (left game, innocent) Nienna - navigator - shot on her way back to the ship on Day 3 (innocent) Greenie - senior assitant to important scientists in the company, killed by Werewolf on Night 4 (innocent) Pitchwife - marine biologist - unambiguously executed by the expedition on Day 4 (Werewolf) Eomer of the Rohirrim - sea pilot - murdered in the icy darkness on Night 5 (innocent) Day 5 starts. Night PMers stop, all people talk. You know how it goes.

Taking Nienna's approach no long quotes here!
Bes Bes 39 Doesn't want anyone to vote... why? Although we now know the votes were basically just a Formality... then a bunch of posts like "Here and Reading..." "Sorry not on too much..." Bes 156 Take Inzil's arguments and votes Mac... Bes 252 Admits to backpedalling... Newbie mistake or cleverly playing Newbie card (I did it my first game...) Bes 262 Makes a summary of Mac's post... maybe to defend her vote for him though she earlier admitted to not thinking it through sounds like misdirection to me. Bes 416 Makes a reference to not being around That phrase always strikes me as an odd one always a slight "I'm not a wolf I Promise" statement. Bes 470 Pulls a Mac, "Good Points against me" then goes on to denounce Lotie's reveal. Bes 512 Continues on Lottie and votes for her... at least she's consistent... A couple of newbie posts follow... I think she may be playing that card to its full potential. Bes 671 Why would you try not to vote Pitch? Lastly: Bes 673 Everything someone says or doesn't say makes them suspicious... including you Bes... Including you

Hey Morsul, I think Bes is a he... (not the first time in this game)
 But good notions - the last ones I mean. He really could be seen trying to avoid the inevitable...

262: Just a note, male. Short, monosyllabic handles tend to be difficult to read gender cues from, I know. 671: Because I still didn't feel right about Lottie; I had every reason, from my own point of view, to suspect Lottie of mischief. A lot of people still do suspect Lottie for that reveal, I'm noticing. Of course I'm going to feel crap about potentially lynching an innocent. We know now that Pitch was a wolf, but at the time my and several other votes were "So, this person is kind of suspicious, and Lottie says she's a Seer. Let's throw him/her under the bus as a litmus test for her sincerity." That would have looked just lovely for me if he/she turned out to be innocent, wouldn't it? 673: Yes, that would be the point of the post. I don't really feel a need/desire to correct the other portions of the post analysis. Edit: Crossed with Nog. |

Eomer? Not who I'd have expected. I was going to look at him today, too... well, I can still look at my two top suspects, Mac and Boro, and so I shall.
Edit: X'd with Sally. How dare you steal my phrasing!

Also, why doesn't Eomer have a role? Legate, are you absent-minded or tricksy?

I'm surprised too, to be honest.
With his amount of gathered suspicion, I think they thought him gifted. Or then they were being tricksy. edit: xed with mod and Shasta
