Werewolf XLVI: Getting Back to Basics - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kath · 05-13-2008, 08:40 AM

Hmm, I should probably add some reasoning for this. Oddwen as Ranger is somewhat unbelievable to me. For one thing, she may have protected Mith, but if she is a wolf saying she protected Mith is a good idea considering she's been thought of as innocent for a couple of Days. Second, why does she think I am a wolf over EW, there is no reasoning. Finally, why does she not think EW is a wolf in general?

So ... what now?

Kath · 05-13-2008, 10:29 AM

Well I can wait no longer. ToDay of all Day's I can't be here at the deadline.

++ODDWEN

Good luck whichever one of you is actually innocent. I desperately hope it's Mith!

Mithalwen · 05-13-2008, 11:10 AM

Oh &@££@%$

This is going to be fun...not...

So much for my theories ... so choices:

Make a futile vote for EW

Make a decisive vote for Kath

Make a tying vote for Oddwen and hope the dice are as kind to us as they were before.

Need to think.... and Mith's little brain is befuddled.

Mithalwen · 05-13-2008, 11:46 AM

I just caught myself checking to see if anyone else had posted .... sad that

Obviously noone is going to answer but maybe if I "think aloud" it will help.

Big issue of course is a kill-less night. Various options:

No kill due to cursed - not possible since would mean 2 wolves/2 ordos +wolves would have already won.

No kill due to ranger. Possible but not certain. Oddwen has claimed to be the ranger. Need to fully consider the implications of this.

No kill due to wolf not choosing a kill either by accident or design.

Other issues to consider - cobbler.

Voting behaviour especially today.

Well at least not so much to look at ...out of 342 posts Kath and Oddie have made 16 each, scarcely more than Menel, and EW has made 9.... only 3 more than Lhuna who died first!

But not a lot to go on.

Mithalwen · 05-13-2008, 12:56 PM

What a long time it has taken to come to an inconclusive answer (really I have the soul of an elf in such matters!)

I don't believe that Oddwen is a ranger. I believe that Lommie and Nerwen were both obvious kills after the safer choices of Agan and Volo. I don't see any sign of Ranger activity other than the absence of a death last night and that is not conclusive. I believe that after a no vote day one, Oddwende sure she got a perfect record as far as she could by voting for her fellows.

I don't have time to type up my notes ... basically I don't understand Oddwen's behaviour today or EWs.

I have to choose between Kath and Oddie, and Kath rings true,

TO the roll of Menel's dice perhaps

++Oddwen

Mithalwen · 05-13-2008, 12:58 PM

But Kath darling if you are the wolf I shall buy a peking duck on the way home and think of you!!!

Nogrod · 05-13-2008, 01:00 PM

Day has closed.

The game is over.

A collective lottery by myself, Lommy and Greenie + a narration to follow soon.

Nogrod · 05-13-2008, 01:21 PM

The remaining quartet gathered into the village square surprised that all four of them were still alive. They looked at each other questioningly.

Finally Kath opened her mouth “Were we helped or was the wolf lazy last Night? If it’s the latter it must have been you poetaster!”

The Evil Wizard defended himself staunchly: “I could be a thwarted wolf, but I'm not.”

“I’m an ordo – remember. I said that on Day 1 already.” Mith reminded the others.

There was a quietness while everyone turned to look at Oddwen who hadn’t said a word.

“Okay. Then you’ve been too sensible Oddwen and you must be the wolf!” called Kath and drew her turtle-nail trimming blade from her pouch.

The poet was clearly shaken by this sudden and violent threat and backed away: “I’ll vote for you Turtle-lady!”

Mith tried to cool the situation down entering a new subject: “Funny no one has claimed to be the ranger…”

“I’m the ranger. And Kath should die!” Cried Oddwen.

Kath didn’t lower her blade but continued pointing it towards Oddwen: “So you too vote for me now?” She made a pause but then felt she needed to say something: “Well we need to create a tie… Hmm, I should probably add some reasoning for this… well… she’s been thought of as innocent lately. That’s why you’re the wolf!”

There was a long silence. It felt like everyone had said just about everything there was in their minds.

Only Mith tried to reason things out: “This is not fun.” She looked at all the other three waiting for her to speak her mind. “Okay. Obviously noone is going to answer so I’ll just think aloud…”

It took her a while to arrive at her conclusion. “Basically I don't understand Oddwen's behaviour today or EWs and I have to choose between Kath and Oddie, and Kath rings true. So be it. Let’s roll a dice!”

The poetaster picked up a coin. “Okay the heads will be Oddwen and the tails will be Kath. Okay?”

The others nodded in silence and followed the coin as it flipped into the air and revolved to the ground.

“Tails!” Oddwen shouted in joy.

“Too bad”, whispered Mith.

The next Night the wolf killed the other survivor and in the morning it felt like hungry again.

The wolves have won.
