WWJ II: Welcome to Lower Tadfield. The Apocalypse has Now Begun. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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.

ALIVE:
Bergil, m. A 'Superstitious Guy.'
Wilwarin538, f. that crazy girl who wants to be a butterfly
WaynetheGoblin. Scientist.
Sleepy Ranger. Explorer from out of town who gets stuck in Lower Tadfield.
Sotty. School teacher
Tar-ancalime. Crone.
Eonwe. Friendly undertaker.
Holbytlass, f. tanner.
Hiriel. Connoisseur of pointy objects.
THE Ka. Ophelious Philosopher.

DEAD:
Malkatoj (mod) Eaten by one-winged Balrog or Wolf or Something, Night 1
AbercrombieOfRohan (backup mod) Eaten by one-winged Balrog or Wolf or Something, Night 1
Glirdan (ordinary) Shot with a 24-carat gold bullet on DAY one.
Márcolië Lamen (Shelob/Mytho) Vanished from ever having existed in Lower Tadfield on DAY one.
Gurthang (ordinary) Mauled by werewolves on NIGHT two.
Rune Son of Bjarne (wolf) Blasted to shreds by a Tactical Cheese Nuke, DAY two.
Kitanna (ranger) Killed...eaten? by wolves, NIGHT three.

IT IS NOW DAY. Wolves, stop PMing. I'll expect your votes in 24 hours' time.

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...

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.

YesterDAY's voting, in order:

tar-ancalime: THE Ka (THE Ka, 1)
Kitanna: Rune (THE Ka, 1; Rune, 1)
THE Ka: Rune (Rune, 2; THE Ka, 1)
Sleepy Ranger: Rune (Rune, 3; THE Ka, 1)
Wilwarin: Rune (Rune, 4; THE Ka, 1)
Bergil: Wayne (Rune, 4; THE Ka, 1; Wayne, 1)
Hiriel: tar-ancalime (Rune, 4; THE Ka, 1; Wayne, 1; tar-ancalime, 1)
sotty: Hiriel (Rune, 4; THE Ka, 1; Wayne, 1; tar-ancalime, 1; Hiriel, 1)
Holbytlass: Sleepy Ranger (Rune, 4; THE Ka, 1; Wayne, 1; tar-ancalime, 1; Hiriel, 1; Sleepy Ranger, 1)
Eonwe: Kitanna (Rune, 4; Kitanna, 1; five others, 1 each)
Rune: Kitanna (Rune, 4; Kitanna, 2; five others, 1 each)

(I didn't find a "vote" post from WaynetheGoblin--did I miss it? If so I apologize.)

Some thoughts, based solely on the voting:

An easy conclusion to jump to is that Eonwe is also a wolf; however, voting late for Kitanna, only to maul her that NIGHT, seems awfully bold to me. Eonwe is either an uncommonly bold wolf, or a convenient patsy.

Perhaps unfortunately for us innocents, Rune's fate was sealed (or nearly so) relatively early in the DAY. That gave the other two wolves plenty of time and opportunity to vote for others without establishing a particular pattern.

Let's look at the votes of the post-Rune voting crowd:

Bergil votes for Wayne, citing suspicions of Wayne's non-vote on DAY 1. (Posts 109 and 112)

Hiriel votes for tar-ancalime, citing suspicions of tar-ancalime's vote for THE Ka, as well as lingering doubts from DAY 1 (Post 114)

sotty votes for Hiriel, citing a gut feeling, as well as doubts based on Hiriel's missing the vote on DAY 1. (post 115) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this brings us to one vote each for those who didn't vote on DAY 1. (My vote, while pre-Rune for scheduling reasons, falls into this category as well. I needed to choose someone who missed the vote on DAY one, based on my theory that one of those was a wolf. I had no real compelling reason to choose THE Ka instead of Hiriel, as I stated in my post.)

Holbytlass votes for Sleepy Ranger, without giving a reason (Post 117)

Eonwe votes for Kitanna, because of Kitanna's suspicion of Rune (Post 118)

Rune votes for Kitanna for obvious reasons.

What does this tell us? Again, that Eonwe is either a bold wolf or an unfortunate innocent. That other than Rune, we as a village had no strong inclinations yesterDAY. That Wayne (again, correct me if I'm wrong) is the only villager to have no votes count at all for DAYS 1 and 2.

I'm at a loss.

... And yet they are capable of posting right after the second night.

Hmm... Maybe Wayne's votes are just rather elusive and no one's counting them right, or suspisions are abound. Though, maybe it is just forgetting to put 'Vote' in the title, which some of us newcomers to the game did yesterday at first. If so, then remember to put 'Vote' in this time. If this wasn't the reason I have no choice, but to hold some suspision.

That was something I forgot to ask, Wayne please talk more! We have no idea who you suspect or what you think, all inputs are needed I feel so don't be afraid to chip with more than one or two lines a post.
