Tol-in-Gaurhoth VII (The Saga goes ever on and on)

[Lhunardawen]

What a mess this village is becoming. It seems to me its name Loveland is but a mockery.

Before sharing my own thoughts I would like to begin with a defense of myself: I believe the main reason some of you suspected me of wolvery (or cobblery(?)) is my howling. That, I am afraid, is nothing I do of my own consciousness; it is an involuntary action cause by the phases of the moon. I guess you have to pay a visit to your nearest dictionary, and look for the word wrongly spelled lunatic. That should clarify things. mormegil was right in post #173 - you should probably all seek professional help for my unfortunate condition.

Oh big bro, how could you say such a thing and cause me this pain? My weird time zone disables me from seeing enough to make a sensible vote. I am against random lynching, and that is exactly I would have done if I voted. I was well aware of my action's possible consequences, yet I went with it because no name would really come up. In Day 2 at least I had Day 1's voting and the death in Night 2 to help me decide (though now I realize my deduction was wrong).

Oromin is not a wolf. She is playing the cobbler role to a 'T'. Earlier spawn said something about me spending too much time with Nilp. Would you guys have to force me towards such an end as his just to feel the same regret you did after he was lynched?

And another thing, Oromin is doing now more or less the exact same thing Nilp did when he yet lived. There is a slight probability that she is a wolf hiding behind a possible déjà vu. Very more likely she is the cobbler, and mentioned two other names to sound convincingly lupine. In this case I agree with Enca that Oromin is lying in at least one account. Further along the line I can say I agree with Kath that only one of those she mentioned is actually a werewolf: wilwa. So I would suggest that we all keep from lynching Oromin, at least for this Day.

To mention the obvious and the utterly repeated, the following are now most under suspicion: wilwa, Kitanna, and The Elf-warrior.

[Lhunardawen]

It breaks my heart, but what must be done must be done: I am suspecting Eomer of the Rohirrim of lycanthropy.

He alone questioned the suspicion cast upon tgwbs and The Elf-Warrior. At the same time, he seemed to be utterly convinced of Fea's and Nilp's innocence - both of whom turned out to be innocent indeed. Who better to know of the innocence of others than a werewolf?

There is also a scary irony in him being, as he said, "easy to sway" and the powers of persuasion he possesses, though seemingly unbeknownst to him. He alone voted for Oddwen the first Day, then yesterDay he somehow managed to get her lynched.

Now that Oddwen has been mentioned, I am not exactly sure, but it seemed to me that he "waited" for someone to initiate the voting for Oddwen yesterDay. After Kitanna did he cast once again his vote for Oddwen. Now we know bandwagoning is considered a lupine trait...but he was no bandwagoner. It was originally his idea that Oddwen is possibly a werewolf, anyway. Now that Oddwen's innocence has been proven he is pushing Kitanna towards the gallows, as if to say "I am in no way in league with her."

Then there is that reaction of his upon finding out that Oddwen is the Ranger right before she died. The emotion he showed is quite unsettling. He could have been hiding behind a mask of regret.

I would very much like to hear his defense.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I feel uneasy about deciding the next three lynching targets beforehand.

Kitanna didn't defend herself against accusations but made a rather shaky attempt to turn the conversation to Oromin. I got the feeling that Kitanna has accepted her faith to be the next one to go and she doesn't want to blame nor defend anybody because she's afraid that she might give her fellow wolves' identities away. I'm truly sorry about Oromin's RL problems but as I said earlier, I'm not going to vote for her today.

So, you agree that Kitanna is a wolf but you vote for Kath.

OOC: MormIt's the week end, I ;aways wake up late.

IC:

*staggers into village square*

Help ma boab! Dah wulves struck again! D'ish time they took me bold Roger und plain Jane. Me Roger wif his natural, unkontrrollable woot woot was dah prroud papa of me many lambs. Und Jane; seeh arn't much of a lookah, but seeh did give good wool. If d'ish goes on, me be brroke!

I pitah the death of Oddy und I state again I nev'r suspected her, not one bit. Now dat death Headah Durelin, seeh kinda taked too much und made me sus'pis of 'er. Now I canna help but feel guilty dat me posts had somethung to do wif 'er rrevealing 'er trrue idenity. Me be shaameful fur long long time...

Ou' rreseident starr gai'zer LMP had sugessted dat we nominate a leadah to guide us tru' d'ish daarke daz. 'tis could work but me haf me doubts. Haven't we all been sus'pis of people trrying to lead public opinion? Und arn't dat a basis of ou' sus'pis on others? Someone who trries hard to sway opinion und kontrol dah votes? Now we welcome d'ish idea?

We also haf frrom dah Kath a ska... ske.... timetable on who to lay low in dah next cop'l daz. Dat is a bettah idea. If Kath's rite (bey dah way, arre yer a lad or lassie? me canna tell wif all dat hair.) den all'z good. But dah prob' is dah timing; fur ev'rry wulf we slay in dah day, another innocent buys dah big one at nite. In wors' caze, six innocents go by dah end of deh third day.

So me be suggest dah dreaded mass lynching - we take t'ree of dah most fawl dog-faces und we chop off dah heads. One of 'em must be a wulf in disguist. Drrastic times call fur drrastic measures.

Whatcha t'ink?

I would have suggested that myself but I was too afraid of the wrath of our Moddessgoddess. Who are the three that you want to get decapitated (if morm is finally allowed to pursue his profession)? Three lynchings in one day may be a bit too bold but I would settle for two deaths.

[Saurreg]

Well lassie, ++Wilwarin gets me vote. An if we can get a triple tie together wif Elf-warrior und Kitianna den we haf a higher prrob of catching a lycan.

Und- Oooh! Me head! I fe'l dizzy! Somethung's happening! Ayyyeee~~~*

OOC:
I won't be back to cast my vote later
cuz I'm going to town to catch some fireworks.
Hence my vote now.

*~~~ Woooo! Wat was dat? Me fe'ling bettah now. Strrange, me never had dizzy spells before. Must be me worries on dah missing sheep.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Thanks Lhuna. I was feeling a bit weird without suspicion hanging over me.

I realise that my huge mistake in picking Oddwen is a serious blow against me. Rest assured, the choice was in good faith. And that emotion you saw from me when her gift became apparent was genuine. Hey! We dancers are emotional to a fault.

Lhuna, you think my confidence in the innocence of Nilp et al is suspicious, but I answer thusly: You look at this from the wrong angle. I was not certain of their innocence; I was much more interested in why they were being accused. A lot of the early reasoning was supect, and I think my initial scepticism has been proven to be wise.

You can see me as a wolf if you like. I have no truly brilliant comeback to that. But I will say this: Why would a wolf-Eomer killFea (who wanted to keep me alive as long as possible) and attack littlemanpoet (who earlier seemed fairly sure of my innocence)? My behaviour has not been wolvish in the slightest.

And if you think I'm going to halt suspicion on you Lhuna, just because of that little attack, then think again. You are still hovering near the top of my lynch list, although it appears that the other villagers are content to buy you time.

Oromin is a strange case. I sincerely sympathise with her RL situation. Yet I am more certain that Kitanna is a wolf. Some other villagers seem more sure of The Elf-Warrior and Wilwa but I think we should probably just let Oromin go tomorrow.

++KITANNA

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I feel I'm repeating myself but I've re-read our possible wolf trio's posts again and I really believe that they are the culprits. There is some sort of mutual understanding and defending pattern going on between Kitanna and Elf-warrior. Kitanna's posts #218 , #220 and #224 show a fierce attempt to stand up for E-w but her reasoning is really flimsy.

Elf-warrior is trying to gain Kitanna one extra night by attacking Kath. In his post #249 Elf-warrior says that both Kitanna and Kath are wolves but he chooses to vote for Kath over Kitanna. I'm not taking E-w's accusations against Kath very seriously.

E-w also kind of defends wilwa. But is wilwa really guilty or is this some trick of his? It may be possible that Elf-warrior is just mentioning wilwa to make us suspicious of her. If that's the case, Oromin just might be a wolf but I don't know...

If we're up to double-lynching I'd suggest that we get rid of Kitanna and Elf-warrior but that's just my gut feeling.

Here are the votes thus far:
- Oromin -> herself
- Mormegil -> Kitanna
- Elf-warrior -> Kath
- Saurreg -> wilwa
- Eomer -> Kitanna

I think the rest of us should hold their votes until our two possible wolves (Kitanna and wilwa) vote so they can't break a tie and we can tip the scales as we please.

[Kath]

I am a girl to whoever it was that asked.

And Elf-Warrior is trying to take suspicion away from himself and put it on me to avoid getting lynched. He said that if Kitanna was a wolf I would be vindicated and beyond suspicion, which I greatly hope is true but it is not a werewolvish plot. I hope that it will show my ideas should be taken seriously. Also, E-W then decided to vote for me even though he agrees that Kitanna is a wolf, now if that's not suspicious nothing is.

However, I would prefer to go by a list still so we can see people who are trying to go against it.

My vote is certain:
++KITANNA

Quite suspicious methinks. lmp, why would you target Enca and Wilwa if I turn out to be innocent, which I am by the way?

[Encaitare]

I'm not exactly sure of who to vote for, but I sincerely doubt that Oromin is a wolf. The cobbler, probably, but I don't think she'd ask to get lynched if she were a wolf. Therefore:

++The Elf-warrior

[The Elf-warrior]

All right I'll vote for
++THE ELF-WARRIOR
I hope seeing my untransformed corpse will clear your mind. I am most suspicious of Kath and Lhuna. I don't know if Oromin is a cobbler or a wolf. I am only slightly suspicious of lmp and Saurreg. Encai and Wilwa are almost certainly the shirriffs. TORE, Moregil and Eomer are most probably innocent.

Edit: I crossposted with Kath. I don't really care that I didn't vote according to your plan because for one thing the Modess doesn't like double-lynching. For another I don't know if Oromin is a wolf and you're probably a wolf anyway.

[Saurreg]

Yer a fool laddie, throwing yer life away like dat. u should haf made a deal wif somebody on wo' to lynch aft' yer gone. Dat is prresuming yer innocent.

[wilwarin538]

Kath if you look up four posts from your last post you'll see that I've already cast my vote for Elf-Warrior.

[Kath]

I was going to suggest a double lynch of Oromin and Elf-Warrior just to make things easier but I'm not sure whether we will be able to make that work. Those who have still to vote are:

Kath
Elf-Warrior
Oromin
Wilwa

Now since I think that the wolves are somewhere in that list (excluding me) I don't know that they will vote in a way to reach a double-lynching.

Right now E-W has 6 votes and Oromin has 2 votes. To achieve this Oromin would have to vote for herself. There might also be a problem with E-W but he is going to die anyway so unless Oromin is also a wolf and he wants to protect her he should also vote for Oromin. Therefore I'm going to ask people to try and make this work.

E-W, Oromin and Wilwa would you plese vote for Oromin.
