Tol-in-Gaurhoth CXV: On the Borders of Mirkwood - Game Thread

[Pitchwife]

Fishy, you say? I wonder, can you make leather from fish skin? Does fish leather make good boots?


Anyway, since it doesn't look like there's going to be much of a town meeting at this hour, I'm going back to sleep for now. See you all later.

Does anyone have any connections to Ciryaher's court? After becoming the "South-Victor" he could also be a "North-Victor" by pacifying these lands. We could send an envoy to ask for help?

Or if anyone has any contacts with the media like "the Daily Gondorian" or "the Wold Post", or even better, knowing any influencers in "Middlestagram" or "Visagevellum" who could plead for our case? Any publicity would be good for us.

In a normal situation I would agree with master Formendacil in here, that violence is not the answer. But sometimes, like here an now, one just can't pretend one lived in the best of the possible worlds, but he needs to plainly take a stand for life and goodness against evil.

Therefore staying firm and obeying the high laws of morality is not always the humane answer - even if Ka(n)t(h) said so. Like the great Aristondil once said before: a virtuous person also knows when to get angry and when to stand up for the sake of his community and beloved ones, or like his teacher Plathor insisted, for the sake of Light and Goodness as such.

Looking at what these beasts have done to Mr. Boro, I can't help thinking we need to take some measures we would not be comfortable taking in any normal circumstances.

I doubt it! And why would you be shopping for boots at a time like this?

I thought Shasta was your prince? Wait, is Boro actually Shasta? Nobody ever keeps me in the loop around here.

Well questioned, Rikae! Boro is my sweet prince. To be fair, I have many special internet men in my life.

Speaking of which, I just noticed my love Nilp is playing! Please don't be evil. I'd hate to have to kill you.

I need to go to bed soon, but I'll be back to hopefully say something of merit in the morning. Please don't bandwagon on me while I'm gone again, eh, Lommy?

[Brinniel]

Poor Boro, what a gruesome way to die.

Yes, because I'm sure these wolves are willing to show their fur to talk.

And I see Nogs has already turned to philosophy!

Well, knowing his suicidal tendencies, he may just do the job for you. Oh the irony, if he turns out to be the Night Wolf!

It's been a fairly quiet Day so far...should I expect walls of text when I return tomorrow?

[Loslote]

If I wake up and I find that no one has gone through and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that all eight of us who have posted so far are somehow all evil, I will be disappointed.

That's all well and good, but to the rest of us he was a town recorder, which I believe is a flute-like instrument (?) and the village butter-churner as well, which is an essential worker. Big shoes to fill, indeed.

Which reminds me, we did have an election planned for toDay, and I for one think that if we allow the wolves to disrupt the democratic process, haven't we already, in essence, let them win? I vote for +-Nogrod for our new leader, on the grounds that he is neither fishy, nor shopping for shoes, nor a monarchist.

I'm sorry, guys, it's been so long since I've done this. This is how this game is played, right?

Uhh, you know you can't undo that on this thread, right?

Oh god is this going to be another Phantom...

Voting yourself is called “Nilping” for a reason.

I thought I was, too!

Well, I immediately think Pitch is the Cobbler from this post.
