~~~~~TIME!!!!! ~~~~~

Expect Rune's death shortly.

malkatoj · 10-20-2005, 07:34 PM

The villagers gathered in the square yet again, hoping tonight that they would kill a wolf and not lose one of their own. After some discussion, they settled on Rune Son of Bjarne. His traveling ways made them suspicious.

“But how to kill a traveling cheese juggler?” they all wondered. They sat for a long time, pondering their dilemma—not whom to kill, but how. Until finally…

“Well, bombs are fairly accurate,” ventured Wilwarin. “We could build a bomb and then drop it on him. So he’d die.” The rest of the village agreed and turned to look at Wayne, who stared back at them, wondering about his task.

“Wayne, you must bring us…a Tactical Nuke!” they told him, in unison.

“But that’ll kill us all!” he protested.

“Well, then, Mr Scientist, you’ll have to find a way to keep us alive.”

“We could…ummmm…lie on the floor. With paper bags over our heads. If we do that, then a bomb won’t kill us.” The villagers agreed and Wayne set off to complete his mission. Just then, Sotty stepped forward.

“Well, excuse me, villagers, but it seems that we’d like to have him in the right place. We’ll need some kind of an attraction for him. I was just thinking, well, I could have my students hold a cheese-juggling contest. It would be sure to draw him,” she said. After they consented, she added another part to her plan. “I just realized, wouldn’t it make sense for the bomb to be made of cheese? It could at least look like it is. My younger students could make a giant cheese to go around it,” she volunteered. The villagers applauded the ideas and the children set to work immediately on the cheese contest and costume.

Meanwhile, Wayne was finishing up with the bomb. When the students came with the cheese costume for it, they applied it and prepared for the death.

Rune was winning the cheese-juggling contest by far, as none of the students had any experience in juggling cheese. When he was announced the winner, the Tactical Cheese Nuke was rolled down the hill to him under the guise of a trophy. The rest of the villagers ran away and put paper bags on their heads, but they heard the explosion.

They stood up one by one and went to look for remains of Rune’s body. Nobody found anything, until finally…

“A tail,” said Tar-ancalime. “People don’t have tails.”

The villagers, at this point, knew that they had indeed killed a wolf. They all went home and lived happily ever after…until TOMORROW.

malkatoj · 10-21-2005, 07:00 PM

Once upon a time, in a far away land called Lower Tadfield, there were three wolves. But one of them died so there were only two. And it wasn't far away, either. It was right here. Actually, this is a true story.

So one night, these wolves decided to kill someone. More specifically, they decided to kill Kitanna. Kitanna was the ranger. The villagers were very sad. The end.

Moral of the story: don't have wolves in your town.

More important Moral of the Story: Don't let both your mod and backup mod get sick at the same time so they're both too tired to write up an actual death.

WaynetheGoblin · 10-21-2005, 07:09 PM

Well this sucks. Now we lost are only chanch of protection. Kittana tried her best to protect us but she didnt protect her self.

Oh dear...

Well, before I knew that she was our ranger I could see why the wolves voted for her specifically...

Which gives me some good advice as to how I should conduct my arguments next time...

It's a great loss... As I can imagine it was for the wolves as well...

sotty · 10-21-2005, 08:53 PM

I was pretty convinced that Kitanna was our seer after she was so right about Rune but loosing our Ranger is still a very sad loss. There is no one but the Hunter left to protect out poor village now.

I think Kitanna might have pegged more than one wolf in this list of hers

Tar-ancalime is far down on that list…at least for now. I also think there is a good chance our third wolf did not vote yesterday.

That could be the reason why she was selected for the kill, that or they thought like me that she was the seer. I understand that I am also on this list and I'm sure after my post pointing out the flaws in Kitanna's, Rune theory many people will be looking my way today. At the time I made that post I wasn't solely convinced (doh!) of Rune's guilt and I wanted to try and protect the village from the loss of another innocent. Turns out I was completely wrong and now my good intentions might just land me in hot water.

Holbytlass · 10-24-2005, 11:22 AM

Why I think Tar-ancalime is a wolf, especially in relation to Rune, a known wolf:

Rune(45):
Márcolië Lamen
Gurthang
tar-ancalime
(It does not meen that I will vote for one of them)

Rune(68):I will let Tar-ancalime go for this time, but lets see tomorrow.votes:Marcolie

Tar(87): defends Rune here

Rune(98):defends Tar
"I have not found anything in Gurthy's posts that point in one direction, but it would properly not have been tar-ancalime who is a wolf becourse she was one of his main suspects. (the other was DEATH and we were wrong about it!)"

Their defence of each other were about each others votes for innocent deaths. They were towards the beginning of the DAY as if to subtley persuade the rest of us as to their innocent intent.

Tar misses a vote then votes The Ka for the exact same reason citing that a wolf was amongst the first DAY none-voters, being suspicious of Hiriel and The Ka. Next DAY, Tar turns around at defends The Ka, and goes back to her 'fall-guy' vote Eonwe.

Even though Tar-ancalime is on each of the night kills' list, she wasn't the main suspect in any of them and as the days went by, she was becoming less suspicious in their eyes.

Of course, Sleepy Ranger is still on my suspect list.

Eonwe · 10-24-2005, 01:08 PM

ok then, holby, i'm thinking you will last a long time. (if your thinking on wolves not killing those on to them is correct). tar is super high on my suspect list. he is off teh rune bandwagon, which is a strike agianst him. and he's on my WHO'S LEFT LIST. and there certainly seems to be some mutual defense between tar and rune.

again, if im not back on today, i wouldn't prolly have voted tar. (and i hope to do so before im off.)

that's all for now. ill hopefully be checking back in an hour or so.

edit: actually, id like to hear a defense of tar before i vote for him. that is to say, it would be nice to hear from him, but ill vote for him if he doesn't.

wilwarin538 · 10-24-2005, 01:30 PM

About my lack of posting. I would like to post as much as I have in past games, but thats very diffucult, especially with my schedual. I have no time in the morning, or at lunch and only have an hour after school. Then I usually work, sometimes past the time that the vote is due. I am trying, but it really isn't my fault.

My thoughts, they might have changed since yesterday:

Wilwarin538 - innocent
WaynetheGoblin - annoying, but probably innocent now that I think about it, a wolf most likely wouldn't post that little
Sleepy Ranger - again I'm not really sure, though my suspicion is rising slightly
Tar-ancalime - top of my list at the moment, mainly cause what Holby said makes sense
Eonwe - not sure, probably second on my list
Holbytlass - again I'm thinking shes innocent
THE Ka - most likely innocent

So everyone in order(from most supicious to least)

1.Tar-ancalime
2.Eonwe
3.Sleepy ranger
4.WaynetheGoblin
4.Holbytlass
5.THE Ka
(the double 4s weren't a mistake those two are even)

I will wait a little while longer before voting. I will most likely vote for tar.

Again, sorry its so short, I just have a lot to do.

Sleepy Ranger · 10-24-2005, 01:48 PM

I'd really like to hear from both Holby and Wilwa why they think I am a wolf because neither seems to have a reason, if they do I will gladly clear things up.

I haven't really paid much attention to Tar but you do bring up some good points. I will look into the matter.

Like I said, I'm not that sure about you Sleepy. Thats why you are in the middle of my list, you're somewaht suspcious and somewhat not.

I'm not going to vote for you. I'm not suspicious of you enough to do that.

wilwarin538 · 10-24-2005, 02:37 PM

Actually I'm just going to vote now.

++tar-ancalime

Eonwe · 10-24-2005, 02:45 PM

ok here is what i have been typeing up in word documents for the past couple days.

Wilwa: cleared for voteing rune last. a wolf vote would be 2nd or third. possibley first but kittana (may she rest in peace) is, alas, innocent.

Holby: i find her using the diction of an innocent. something in the way she posts and talks. rather shaky, but all the same, i don't have anything againster her, and she talks well (meaning innocently).

Me: well...

so my suspect List is narrowed down to:

THE Ka
Sleepy Ranger
Tar
Wayne

THE Ka and Sleepy Ranger voted 2nd and 3rd (respectively, i beleive) for Rune. wilwa killed him, so i think that clears her. im pretty sure one of them is a wolf.

Tar and Wayne are WHO'S LEFT. i don't really know what to think (other than there is a wolf here). Tar has some pretty bold strikes against her (you are a her right?). Wayne? i don't really know (because you never post anything mre than three lines long!). (ehem.)

ps. we don't have long left. what like another two Days. let's make this one count, shall we?

Eonwe · 10-24-2005, 02:48 PM

same here. im pretty positive about tar.

You deserve an explanation and as I was preparing one on you and my opinions on everyone I saw so much on Tar-ancalime. Today, I will vote for

++Tar-ancalime

I realize I'm not giving her a chance to explain, she's probably not even awake, but nothing she says will persuade me otherwise.
