WW XXIX Dor-en-Gaur - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

On Gil, I'm not sure that his first post wasn't just a normal Day 1 post. Throwing an idea out without any substance just to get people talking. It could be some sort of bluff but I'm so pleased to see him getting involved I really don't want to lynch him. Waiting for evidence seems a good idea methinks.

I'm also feeling pretty good about Lommy at the moment. For all her lack of net access we've seen plenty of posts from her and that's generally a good sign.

Roa has gone straight for analysis, which seems almost an odd thing to do Day 1 but then this Day itself seems odd for a Day 1. The in-character banter barely existed with almost everyone going straight to talking about the narration and what it might reveal. In any case, I recall Roa's ancestors being very fact based people so this is most likely normal behaviour. Though of course that would protect her nicely from suspicion, I still think she's clear at the moment.

Lal seems a little defensive about the whole quiet thing. Not entirely sure what to make of that. She jumped on Lommy a bit for saying she wanted to look out for the quiet ones as well as replying to Boro on the same lines. Might keep an eye on her. Her relative newbieness as well as having seen the arguments over the loud/quiet thing last game might explain the worry but I think it's still worth looking out for.

What does feel off was Boro's question to morm about him wanting to stop the talk. I thought morm was just being his bloodthirsty Day 1 self and found it strange that anyone would take it too seriously. Besides Mac and ... ugh, someone else, I'll look later, have also suggested stopping talking about the narration.

I have to go again (damn lectures!) so I'm going to vote as I may not actually be back again toDay. Hopefully I will as I'd certainly like a lot more evidence that that which I've just stuck together up there to base a vote on.

Kath, I was just urging not reading too much into the loud/quiet issue as time differences must be taken into account.

However...I note that four of us have yet to comment: Naria, Volo, Farael and Mithalwen.

Flying under the radar? Unavoidably detained elsewhere? I certainly never remembered Farael as being naturally quiet last (first) time I played...

So, three votes for Boro so far? He emerges as a front runner it seems. I, however, have yet to be convinced of his guilt as I think he was simply a victim of time zones. And Gil-galad was the instigator of this campaign. If we take the hypothetical situation that Boro is innocent then Gil, Firefoot and Kath could be involved in a cabal against him? Or have one or more of these three been taken for a ride? Is Boro really innocent? Is Gil a wolverine mastermind?

Macalaure · 01-30-2007, 08:17 AM

That's many votes for so early a day.

mormegil -> Rune (Rune 1)
Gil-Galad -> Boro (Rune 1, Boro 1)
Roa_Aoife -> Gil (Rune 1, Boro 1, Gil 1)
Lommy -> Durelin (Rune 1, Boro 1, Gil 1, Durelin 1)
Firefoot -> Boro (Boro 2, Rune 1, Gil 1, Durelin 1)
Rikae -> Anguirel (Boro 2, Rune 1, Gil 1, Durelin 1, Ang 1)
Kath -> Boromir88 (Boro 3, Rune 1, Gil 1, Durelin 1, Ang 1)

I'm not fond of this sight of an early Boro-waggon. His style is somewhat different (which is perfectly okay), but his tone isn't. Bad argument, but I think an evil Boro would act different. Don't give him your vote so lightly!

Gil is Gil, as far as I'm concerned. Durelin has only posted once. I have a good feeling concerning Ang, but that doesn't mean much since it's Ang we're talking about.

I'm not convinced enough yet to start a campaign, but Rune remains my top suspect.

Boromir88 · 01-30-2007, 08:18 AM

Interesting, Ang is usually the one for my head on Day 1, now it's all different...

I guess since I don't post in character comments and I actually want to find people I'm going to vote for that makes me a wolf. Oh boy this is truly golden...er priceless.

Boro, I'm not quiet on purpose, I've been asleep! I do hope we're not going to get into the quiet/loud thing so early! Or are we doing it because we have nowt to go on? Hmmm...

This I find strange...I just said I detest quietness. I wasn't saying anyone here was quiet, on the contrary today has been filled with chatter. I fully understand you run on a different clock. I'm surprised you took that as an attack by me.

I took morm's post as saying stop all the talk about the hunter and the 'strong' wolf. Which I personally think the more talk the better.

Everything that's said I take seriously.

Anguirel · 01-30-2007, 08:33 AM

I tend to shy away from what most people are doing, especially early on when there's less to go on. So I'm avoiding the widespread suspicion of Boro.

But there is more to it.

I'm really enjoying the fact that, in fact, while he claims to avoid in-character posting every one of Boro's posts is in character, because they're all so serious...this is such an amusing paradox that I am unlikely to vote Boro for a while, without proper evidence anyway.

Volo · 01-30-2007, 08:31 AM

Oh, shut up!

And how nice of you, dear Nogrod, to make me a cryptic lense grinder. Haha

Lommy is the ranger by the way, I saw her and Nogrod talking about WW.

Umm... in my dream.

But back to work. What do we have here? Chaos.

My own theories about the strange characters:

The "big" wolf has some extra ability that might or might not make the wolf weaker than the others. It might be something like the ability of the Hunter.

The "swordman" can probably be a Hunter.

The "wielder of the subtle dagger" might be an assasin of some kind. Something like "kills anybody at any time once in the game, might or might not die in doing so".

Rangers getting to know each other and gaining the right to chat:
I think that by protecting the same person the rangers will get to know each other and by successfully protecting the same person they will get the right to chat.

Back to the game: Feeling lazy today, I'll probably do a mormegil and vote for a random person, probably Durelin as I have a grudge against Durelin's family in my blood.

Volo · 01-30-2007, 08:34 AM

By the way!? Why is Boromir88 going to die on Day1?

It's madness!

Better vote me on Day1, I bet Boromir88 is potentially more useful.
It's sad that he can't be left for the Seer...
