WWJ IV: Let the insanity ensue - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Firefoot · 02-14-2006, 07:54 PM

A day already fated to be rather unproductive is growing more and more so by everyone's silence... I sure hope posting does pick up here soon or when I vote in the morning it may just be for someone who hasn't posted because at this rate it's going to have to be random anyway because no one really seems to be posting.

And if that's going to be the way it is, voting will undoubtedly be all spread out and of little use anyway.

I'd like to suggest limiting the voting in some way, except that seems likely to narrow our chances of bagging a wolf. But... what if we were to just pick four random people off the list and say "vote for one of them" - just to narrow our results?

If nothing else, I'd like to generate a bit of discussion here, see where it leads. Thoughts?

Edit: cross-posting with Jenny.

Perhaps we should simply vote for the last person to lend their voice to our discussion.

Eonwe · 02-14-2006, 08:49 PM

Werewolves, eh? You don't say...

As often as not, you have to use a prosedure similar to this on the first day...

On an aside, Kitanna, could you post the death on exacly on teh hour its due, that way my browser automatically translates teh time to EST and i don't have to think about it? Im really not very good at shifting time zones...

Roa_Aoife · 02-14-2006, 09:02 PM

Oh, dear Kitanna! Clearly she was a victim of the system in which she lived! (I always knew those politicians werewolves in political clothing.) So, werewolves are among us. Indeed, we can no longer trust our neighbors. So, what shall become of us?

Jenny, you're mighty hasty to throw those accusations around when we have nothing to go on.

I think it would be best if we took the full time for everyone to post and reply before making decisive accusations like that.

Firefoot · 02-14-2006, 10:37 PM

Simply having everyone vote for the last contributor would not be the best plan, I do not think. For one thing, it creates an automatic bandwagon and Day 2 becomes almost as useless as Day 1, because if s/he is innocent, both wolves and innocents will have voted for him/her and there will be no discrimination. The wolves can hide easily in this scenario. The same works if s/he is a wolf. I would much rather see spread out votes than everyone voting for the same person. Additionally, some people will have to vote much earlier than others, so the last person who contributes may not have contributed by the time the first person votes.

I hope to see the remaining half of the village speak up sometime before I vote when I wake up tomorrow morning...

Oh I am perfectly aware that they are all shots in the dark. And indeed, here. Let me complete my Day 1 analysis:

Thinlomien ~ Where did he get the penguins? Do the penguins mean he's guilty?

JennyHallu ~ Innocent as a lamb. But paranoid, definitely paranoid.

Eonwe ~ In such a (well I thought it was) perfect village as this, why would she want to be a hermit?

Wilwarin ~ Well, if he's a wolf, we're probably doomed. He's probably smarter than us.

Sleepy Ranger ~ Messianic claims? Seems wolvish.

Firefoot ~ Hmm...likes horses...well, actually I think Fire is probably innocent. Otherwise the horses would be scared.

Roa_Aoife ~ Never trust lobbyists. Same as salespeople. Very nice, but not on your doorstep.

Valier ~ With her grace and flexibility she could dance around any of our suspicions. And the shoe obsession is just weird.

Nogrod ~ I haven't got anything...but maybe he's just trying to fly under the radar. Probably a wolf.

Elu Ancalime ~ I'm married to a brass musician, actually. Trombonist. Elu is a wolf.

Gandalf_the _white ~ See Wilwarin

Folwren ~ Seamstress...hmm...See Nogrod.

Mithalwen ~ Sorry, it'll take me a long time to distrust the cookie-maker. If you're a wolf, Mith, I'll cry. Oh, and where's my muffin?

Sleepy Ranger · 02-14-2006, 11:09 PM

Wait? What? Murdered with a letter opener? I call shenannigans! I mean yer all just over-reacting she obviously died listening to Britney Spears... we ought to lynch her...

But if you insist that she was murdered here are my opinions on the public-

1) Thinlómien ~ Penguin-fisher - This chica is pretty cool. Shes always at my concerts with those weird guys in suits.

2) JennyHallu ~ Friendly neighborhood tax collector - This womans a cool
person herself except for when she tries to kill me over taxes. I mean that is so not cool dudette. And dearie, I ain't claiming nothing. I am the Messiah of Rock 'n' Roll! Wait... did I say kill?

3) Eonwe ~ Hermit - I've never seen her speak or heard her move... is she even alive? I mean watsupwiddat?!?

4) Wilwarin ~ Mathematics professor - Two plus two equals Thomas Jefferson is all I have to say.

5) Sleepy Ranger ~ Messiah of Rock 'n' Roll - This dude reeks of awesomeness, hes got a really cool band which is just full of high octane coolocity. I mean really, hes just awesome. This guys so hot that I hope you got sunglasses and hands off unless you want the burned off! Form a single line for autographs please.

6) Firefoot ~ Person who runs the stables - I've seen her around at my concerts, shes alright.

7) Roa_Aoife ~ Local protestor/ lobbyist - Shes been around at my last few
concerts, she even has an autographed photo of the band. This could only mean one thing... STALKER!

8) Valier ~ Dance instructor - Have you ever seen her tearing up the floor at one of my concerts? No? Well neither have I though I do believe she stole one of our surveillance cameras.

9) Nogrod ~ Pipe-weed grower - I like this guy... >_>

10) Elu Ancalime ~ Brass Musician - Pretty cool guy, played back-up for us once.

11) Gandalf_the _white ~ Magician - He opened our show once,
professional guy.

12) Folwren ~ Seamstress - She has way too much stress in her job, maybe she ought to kick back and come to one of my concerts yea. That would definately reduce the stress. Of course then she'd be a seam but thats beside the point.

13) Mithalwen ~ Baker/confectioner - She provides free cake for my concerts how could she be evil?

In the end I suggest we lynch Nogrod. Why? Because theres a chance he may offer free pipe-weed to be not killed.

hmmm i don't think i'm too smart this is only my second game

but i did survive till the last night in my first game (where bits of me were used to send a message lol) since we don't have retractable votes i'll probaly vote later if i get chance but it will be a random one as i can't have any suspicions on the first day!!

Nogrod · 02-15-2006, 04:21 AM

Sorry. I must have overslept. And now hands full of work amidst this catastrophy! If I'm not into packing my newest brand immediately, they will dry out and I'll be in ruins. I shall come to discuss this terrible situation in a couple of hours time.

Still. My instinct would say, that someone with a rebellious or otherwise anti-social character could the one we are looking for. It's true, that evil may have a hideout anywhere. But as we have no other clues right now, I would like to know what f.ex. Eonwe or Roa have been doing last night.

Sorry, I'll have to go now. Coming back soon.

Gandalf_the _white · 02-15-2006, 04:26 AM

well nogrod you could say that but werewolves can be quiet and stay out of the way this can be just as good a tactic as being a loud mouth.
