The Day starts now. Remember, the game is still on, and there are no reveals.

Have fun, kids.

(I'll end the Day as soon as all votes are cast, or at deadline toMorrow, whichever comes first.)

ETA: my inbox is about full, so if you need to PM me, I'd appreciate it if you could wait a couple of hours until I can get full-sized webs to clean it out.

You all know this game is over, right?

Oh, well. Did what I could. It gets rather difficult when the baddies outnumber one near DL.

True that.

For me now it's just a question of Nog or Shasta being Shelob. Nog or Shasta. Nog or Shasta.

If you guys could all see my really concerned and dubious expression... Sigh.

I literally have no idea. Normally when I say something like, "I have no idea," I'm lying through my teeth, or I have a gut instinct that's fairly accurate. This game? This time? Today? I have no idea what I or anybody else is doing.

Any one of you could be bone munchingly evil and it would come as no surprise to me.

Since WilwaSam voted for Nog, he's my pick (for all the good it'll do).

Yeah basically...

Aren't there two spiderlings?

Lhunardawen · 05-14-2011, 11:55 AM

So this is how things stand at this point, as my limited understanding allows.

We have Shelob, 2 spiderlings, and 1 been-stung with 6 living players. So we're tied at 3.

Scenario 1: We lynch Shelob.
Yay.
Odds: 1/6

Scenario 2: We lynch a spiderling.
Day ends with Shelob and 2 spiderlings against 2 innocents. Bad.
Odds: 1/3

Scenario 3: We lynch the been-stung.
See scenario 2.
Odds: 1/6

Scenario 4: We lynch an innocent.
Duh.
Odds: 1/3

So our ONLY choice of winning is by lynching Shelob toDay. Wow.
