Some excellent points have been made since I was here last, and I've been convinced about a double lynch today. I'd be in favor of TGWBS and Glirdan, as I find them most suspicious. I'm able to stay around late to make sure the votes work out, if need be.

I believe this is how the vote stands now:

Thinlo-->TGWBS (TGWBS - 1)
TGWBS-->Naria (TGWBS - 1, Naria - 1)
tar-a-->Glirdan (TGWBS - 1, Naria - 1, Glirdan - 1)
Samwise-->Glirdan (TGWBS - 1, Naria - 1, Glirdan - 2)
Celuien-->TGWBS (TGWBS - 2, Naria - 1, Glirdan - 2)
LMP-->TGWBS (TGWBS - 3, Naria - 1, Glirdan - 2)

SamwiseGamgee · 03-21-2006, 10:30 PM

Caran, it'd be good if someone stayed about to ensure the double lynch takes place- we can't rely on Gurthang every time, and it's now 4.30am here in the UK, so in the interest of my health I should probably grab some Zs!

Caranlondien · 03-21-2006, 10:41 PM

Sure, Samwise. Luckily I don't have Linguistics, er, I mean Lumberjacking Class until late tomorrow, so I can stay up late

Just thought I'd explain my apparently sudden clarity of thought. I'm by no means certain of either of them (TGWBS and Glirdan) being guilty, but I was leaning towards suspecting them to begin with. Celuien did an excellent analysis of TGWBS.

I hadn't even noticed this, and it puts TGWBS back up on my list.

SamwiseGamgee · 03-21-2006, 10:45 PM

While I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion of Celuien's analysis (can't shake that feeling TGWBS's innocent) I must say her analysis has been excellent today, as has your's Caran. That counts for both of you, as far as I'm concerned.

Formendacil · 03-22-2006, 03:35 AM

Okay, I had really wished to have more time to do this, but I've been waiting for the 'Downs to come back for two hours, and I really need to go to bed, so...

++ Naria,

Because she simply seems more guilty than either TGWBS or Glirdan. These two seem completely normal to me. Naria seems normal as well, but not quite as much so...

Did that make sense?

I don't care... I'm going to bed!

Lalaith · 03-22-2006, 03:38 AM

Got up this morning at 7am to keep my promise of voting early, and the site was down.
Anyway, back in now, haven't got time to read everything thoroughly, but it looks like I'm in with a chance of voting still...
I'm with the majority for a double lynch, in which case, this seems to be the right thing to do:
++GLIRDAN

Lalaith · 03-22-2006, 05:37 AM

A little bit of housekeeping to while away this oddly quiet and uneventful (ie no close-of-vote) morning:

Lynchee candidates (+ who voted)

Tgwbs (3 - Thinlomien, Celuien, lmp)
Glirdan (3 - Samwise, Tar-ancalime, Lalaith)
Naria (2 - TGWBS, Form)

Still to vote:
Cailin
Caranlondien
Valier
Naria
Gurthang
Glirdan

Did not post yesterday (I think!)
Naria, Glirdan

For the record, I hadn't seen Form's vote for Naria when I voted. But I would probably have voted the same way anyway, as the majority consensus seemed to incline to Glirdan being the second lynchee.

SamwiseGamgee · 03-22-2006, 05:42 AM

Just a little note guys: in football there's a saying- play the whistle. What do I mean? Basically just keep voting up until Nilp ends day. If he strikes your vote so be it, but I don't think he will. Also for the purposes of vote analysis later it'll be helpful.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-22-2006, 05:44 AM

As the ship of Arien returned to its Western dock, the village was struck with a dreadful storm. For a few hours, the very existence of Ened-in-Nowhere was frozen. No one was able to do anything, save stand where they are and wonder what was happening. Finally, the malign power holding the village hostage loosed its grasp, and Formendacil and Lalaith rushed in to cast their votes.

And so the village has chosen Glirdan and the guy who be short as their lynchees. tar-ancalime, divining the will of the Mod God, summoned a giant tree-frog. The villagers (save Celuien) took the Nilp fan and stuffed him into its mouth. The frog suffered a horrible death, suffocated by the short hirstute person. Coincidentally, the Nilp impersonator died, too, suffocating in the airless alimentary canal of the amphibian.

After taking daga'y's body out of the tree-frog, they saw him with an exasperated--but contented--smile on his face. He had died as his idol had, an innocent lynched.

The villagers frowned as they turned to Glirdan. They had that one wrong! What about this one? They thought twice whether to kill him or not until in impatience the Mod God sent a fireball that struck the unemployed bum.

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.
dancing spawn of ungoliant, a Seer, was taken away on the third NIGHT.
Kath, a Werewolf, was accidentally strangled on the third DAY
Lhunardawen, the Werewolf Beloved, died with his Lover on the third DAY
Farael, the Lover, died defending his Beloved on the third DAY
Eomer of the Rohirrim, an Ordinary Villager, was poked with woodwinds on the fourth NIGHT.
the guy who be short, an Ordinary Villager, was stuffed into a tree-frog on the fourth DAY.
Glirdan, an Ordinary Villager, was consumed by fire from the Mod God on the fourth DAY.

Those alive are:

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
Gurthang, an arrowsmith
SamwiseGamgee, the town bank manager

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-23-2006, 02:27 AM

After the strange blizzard yesterDAY, Celuien, the friendly neighbourhood psychiatrist, was leafing through her books to check whether the weather had any Jungian significance, when there came a loud knock on her door.

'We're not opening 'til tomorrow morning! Your neuroses could probably wait until then, couldn't it?'

The knocker may have been deaf, or perhaps persistent, because his knocking didn't stop. Celuien angrily left her seat and stormed off to her door. When she had opened it . . .

~*~

The next DAY, the villagers were surprised to see that the resident shrink hasn't opened shop. Fearing some foul deed, the villager decided to break in. Caranlondien took her chainsaw and sawed through the wooden door. The villagers glanced inside.

They saw a giant lidded metal pot. Lifting the lid, they saw Celuien, deep-fried in olive oil and garnished with Interpretation of Dreams, Totem and Taboo, and The Ego and the Id.

The scroll of the census was changed:

Nilpaurion Felagund, the Prophet of the Mod God, was lynched by suspicious means on the first NIGHT.

Glirdan, an Ordinary Villager, was consumed by fire from the Mod God on the fourth DAY.
Celuien, an Ordinary Villager, was 'Freud' alive on the fifth NIGHT.

Thinlómien · 03-23-2006, 02:38 AM

Oh s**t. I was wrong again. I thought Celuien was a wolf. i was even pretty sure about that thinking about it whole RL yesterday. well, at least I don't have to waste time in analysing her.

Our poor psychiatrist.

The question why was she killed is rather interesting. I don't believe the wolves believed her to be the seer. Rather I think she was killed because she wasn't particularly suspected by anyone.

Cailín · 03-23-2006, 02:47 AM

Why, I am baffled.

I was fairly certain Glirdan was a wolf -though I did not know about TGWBS- and for the record, would have supported the now rather depressing double-lynch had I not been struck by that strange paralysis spell.

And Celuien? That does surprise me. She was not one of the people most of us categorised innocent and was clearly suspicious of both lynchees yesterday. Would she not have dreamt of one of them if she were the Seer? Or maybe she was killed for another reason that I fail to grasp... I must look over her posts again, I fear.

I am still inclined to think Naria innocent. Especially since Celuien did defend her yesterDay, if I remember correctly... well, I am not sure - another thing we/I need to look into. I am a little suspicious of Formendacil who voted for Naria, even though her true identity remains unsure. I personally found the evidence against Glirdan (poor man) far more convincing.

I will look over a few things. In the meantime: do we think the Seer should reveal him/herself yet if he/she knows a few innocents by now? Or wait a little while longer?
