Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIX: Ang Sagang Daga, bow.

[littlemanpoet]

Seeing as Lhuna has rather indicted herself throughout the day, as well as not rescuing yesterDay's double lynch, I am inclined to consider Eonwe innocent, since she's bandwagoning. Her yesterDay vote for Lal is a different story, a safe, possibly wolf on wolf vote (which may have happened more than once yesterDay in a seemingly rather vain effort to create a sense of separation between themselves.

[littlemanpoet]

Okay, I'm scratching Eonwe and Samwise from my list of possible vote getters; Eonwe because Lhuna voted for him; I don't think he's a werewolf, and if Lhuna's the werewolf I think she is, she wouldln't vote for a lover Eonwe. Samwise is off my list because he voted for my primary suspect, Lhuna.

Now, Lhuna does make an interesting point in regard to Spawn agreeing with her yesterDay and accusing her for the same thing toDay. I will take a look at that and see what I make of it before I vote.

As the tie has now been taken care of, I'll vote

++Eonwe

because his reasons were just a bit too weird.

Lhuna is making a spurious, defensive argument because Spawn gave her reason: the tie had been resolved already. Too bad, Lhunawolf.

Villagers who have yet to vote, please join me in getting rid of this self-indicting werewolf.

EDIT: Forgot to put Samwise in the last one.

[Valier]

Well since I am unsure when this day ends I shall vote soon.

Ok well for the most annoying vote ever I must vote

++Eonwe

For I think even if he is an Ordo, we don't need one that votes by looking at who voted below them or tenth place or whatever, then casting a useless,safe vote.

[littlemanpoet]

Valier, your vote may not count if it is not properly bolded.

Five voters to go. Gurthang, Naria, Farael, Caranlondien, Formendacil.

All hope is not yet lost for toDay.

[Valier]

I was wondering if anyone out there left to vote is considering a double lynch? Could be a wolf in the waiting.

[Caranlondien]

Lhuna or Eonwe? Man, this is a tough decision. I'm tempted to vote for Eonwe just because, as Valier said, he's not being helpful at all. Lhuna has offered a defense of herself, which is more than one can say for Eonwe. On the other hand, if Eonwe were a wolf, wouldn't he offer at least some sort of defense? I have to decide soon... what time is the Day ending?

[Caranlondien]

1. Eonwe --> Valier (Valier 1)
2. dancing spawn --> Lhuna (Valier 1, Lhuna 1)
3. TGWBS --> Eomer (Valier 1, Lhuna 1, Eomer 1)
4. Lalaith --> Eonwe (Valier 1, Lhuna 1, Eomer 1, Eonwe 1)
5. Eomer --> Kath (Valier 1, Lhuna 1, Eomer 1, Eonwe 1, Kath 1)
6. Glirdan --> Naria (Valier 1, Lhuna 1, Eomer 1, Eonwe 1, Kath 1, Naria 1)
7. Thinlomien --> Naria (Valier 1, Lhuna 1, Eomer 1, Eonwe 1, Kath 1, Naria 2)
8. Cailin --> Eonwe (Valier 1, Lhuna 1, Eomer 1, Eonwe 2, Kath 1, Naria 2)
9. tar-ancalime --> Eomer (Valier 1, Lhuna 1, Eomer 2, Eonwe 2, Kath 1, Naria 2)
10. Samwise --> Lhuna (Valier 1, Lhuna 2, Eomer 2, Eonwe 2, Kath 1, Naria 2)
11. Kath --> Eonwe (Valier 1, Lhuna 2, Eomer 2, Eonwe 3, Kath 1, Naria 2)
12. Lhuna --> Eonwe (Valier 1, Lhuna 2, Eomer 2, Eonwe 4, Kath 1, Naria 2)
13. Celuien --> Samwise (Valier 1, Lhuna 2, Eomer 2, Eonwe 4, Kath 1, Naria 2, Samwise 1)
14. LMP --> Lhuna (Valier 1, Lhuna 3, Eomer 2, Eonwe 4, Kath 1, Naria 2, Samwise 1)
15. Valier --> Eonwe (Valier 1, Lhuna 3, Eomer 2, Eonwe 5, Kath 1, Naria 2, Samwise 1)
16. Naria --> Eonwe (Valier 1, Lhuna 3, Eomer 2, Eonwe 6, Kath 1, Naria 2, Samwise 1)

I'm certainly not in favor of a double lynch, and I hope those who vote after me will not bring one about. I still think Eonwe is an unlikely wolf (let's face it, if he were a wolf, he'd be more interested), but Lhuna seems somewhat suspicious. And I'd rather have an unhelpful ordo alive than a wolf, so I just can't justify voting for Eonwe merely for his annoying vote.

There are just enough votes left to lynch Lhuna, correct? Hmm I guess that places me in a suspicious position, but... I'm acting based one what I honestly think.

++Lhunardawen

[Naria]

Naria is scarily silent

I want you to answer my question this time, please Thinlo. WHY AM I SO SCARY?? I remember asking the very same in a past village we were in and didn't get a response.

3. Naria

Just because she's too quiet for my taste. History tells us of a quiet villager named malkatoj who escaped scrutiny for a long time due to an RL-induced quietness, and she turned out to be lupine

Naria has been speaking nonsense, rudely said. Her posts, if they have something to say, it's covered with humour. I don't find that very trustworthy. I do find her more suspicious than Lhuna

I have said this before and will say it again. I'm not a chatter box like some of you and will not flood post with a whole lot of garbled bunk to confuse others. I come on and say what I have to say when it is needed or I feel the need to do so. On this particular day, however, I happen to be very sick! I came on earlier and made an appearance and went back to bed. I'm not asking you people to believe me(why would you in a game like this) but it obviously needed to be addressed.

Thinlo, I hope you realize now why my posts have been "nonsense" posts. However, I don't know where you got the 'rudely' part from. If my 'rudely' and 'nonsensical' posts make me more suspicious in your eyes than Lhuna, then I don't know what to do about that for ya.

That being said, I will go back to bed now--after I jump on this bandwagon!!

++Eonwe

And you thought I had nonsense posts....

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The village decided that Eonwe's antics was much too confusing for a village infested with Werewolves, and so they decided to kill the newcomer toDAY.

'So, how do we kill him?' asked Lhunardawen. Thunder rumbled. A few of the villagers looked up. Dark clouds were gathering in the mountaintop.

'I say we leave him up there in the mountain,' Glirdan suggested. 'If lightning strikes him, then he must be a Werewolf being punished by the Mod God.' The others nodded assent.

Caranlondien took her axe, tar-ancalime her broom, Eomer his clarinet, lmp his heavy hammer, and together they prodded the poor wayfaring stranger to the foot of the mountain.

The clouds have left the mountain, and now they approached Eonwe.

'He'll be struck by lightning!' Valier said anxiously. 'We found our first Werewolf!'

The clouds were now exactly overhead the lynchee. The lightnings struck the ground once, twice, many times, until finally, the Mod God tired of playing with the victim and sent a bolt at him.

After the shock, Eonwe still managed to stagger to the ground.

'He's going to transform now!' said lmp. 'Stand back, everybody!'

But he didn't.

'I'm okay,' he said. 'Can anyone get me a glass of water?'

The Mod God frowned. He had not killed the lynch victim on his first attempt. He sent another bolt, this time a stronger one.

After the second strike nothing was left of Eonwe but dust and ashes.

The scroll of the census was changed:

Nilpaurion Felagund, the Prophet of the Mod God, was lynched by suspicious means on the first NIGHT.
Garin, an Ordinary Villager, was lanced like a boil on the the first DAY.
Anguirel, an Ordinary Villager, was massacred by were-hedgehogs on the second NIGHT.
Eonwe, an Ordinary Villager, was struck by lightning, struck by lightning! on the second DAY.

Those alive are:

dancing spawn of ungoliant, a laundress
Kath, a turtle-farmer
Lhunardawen, a Dark Elf (literally)
Caranlondien, a lumberjack
tar-ancalime, a witch
Cailín, the town gossip
Celuien, a psychiatrist
Naria, a midwife who goes ever so slightly mad with each birth
Valier, a small, sweet sheep-shearer
Lalaith, a rich young widow
Thinlómien, a mushroom-picker
Formendacil, an unemployed person
littlemanpoet, a stone-cutter
Glirdan, an unemployed person
Farael, an escaped mental asylum internee who suffers from chronic suicidal tendency and conspiracy theories
Eomer of the Rohirrim, the royal musician
Gurthang, an arrowsmith
the guy who be short, a Nilp fan, stalker and impersonator, also a fisherman
SamwiseGamgee, the town bank manager

This time you're scary, because you're silent. That makes me uneasy.

I seem to be good at giving people wrong impressions. The "rudely" wasn't about your posts; it was like: "To say it rudely, she posts nonsense." I'm sorry if my unfluent English causes confusion.

I looked quickly through spawn's posts. Lhuna was the only one she really expressed being suspicious about.

[the guy who be short]

I don't trust any of you.

I promise an analysis of spawn in a few hours. Anybody else wishing to analyse her, feel free. Remember, the more people we get looking over what she's said, the more chance we have innocents analysing her, the greater the chance we can trust what we can read. Ideally, we'd have six analyses to guarantee one innocent in there, but this is a bit much to ask.

[tar-ancalime]

You know, this is just off the top of my head here, but spawn may have been killed in a wolves' attempt to re-even out the balance of sexes:

We went into last Night with three dead men, leaving eleven women and only eight men alive. Now, yesterday Cailin suggested that we systematically lynch men, unbalancing the village enough to make it easier to pick out one of the Lovers. I countered that by saying it was an interesting strategy but likely too early, as the village is still very large.

It could be that the wolves disagreed with me and decided to even things back out. Why? I think the wolves already know who the traitor is among them. I think they're going to let that person live for a while, though, because as long as there are Lovers there is an added element of confusion among the villagers. Having the Lovers alive at this stage of the game helps the wolves; and if they know which of their own is against them, it will be easy enough for them to kill that person off when it becomes necessary. They'll eliminate their internal threat and take down another villager to boot. I propose that we will see this happen when the village finally lynches a wolf. Until then, though, the wolves' safety is enhanced by keeping the Lovers alive. And in the meantime, keeping a more balanced village population lessens our chances of isolating one or both of the Lovers in a shrinking pool of candidates.

spawn was under no real suspicion; she was writing lucid, smart posts; maybe they had pegged her as a Seer to boot; but I think she was killed for being a smart girl.

Or maybe it's simpler--I freely admit I haven't taken the time yet to look at spawn's posts yet. I will do it, and with the question in mind that I proposed yesterday for all wolf kills in this game: What did she get right?
