Werewolf XLVIII: When Virtual Becomes Reality

[satansaloser2005]

Okie dokie. I don't feel terribly analysizational (Sixth'd have a field day with that one....heh) at the moment, but I'll give it a shot. Quick glance at everyone (and I mean quick.) They're in post order at the moment (as in the person with the most posts is first, etc.) I'll probably make a suspicion list later, but for now it'll do.


Nerwen: The thing that bothers me most about Nerwen? The number of her posts. [rabbit trail] We all know I'm a loud mouth, even when I'm sick/busy/etc. And, at least in my experience, Nerwen's been quiet, or at least not a rabid multi-poster. [/rabbit trail] So....why is she talking so much? Just to be fun and in-character? Maybe. But it bothers me that she's saying so much (or so little, as some others have suggested) when she's usually not quite this vocal.
I'd give her 4-6/10 on the suspicion scale, off the top of my head.

Eon: Again, in the last game he was very quiet. But wasn't the last game his first? (Or am I thinking of someone else?) If I'm right about that, I'm going to ignore his change in talking level. If I'm wrong, ignore this section of the post completely. On another level, people (okay, Form, etc.) have accused him of being unhelpful. I'm not saying I agree or not, but I think just because he's not terribly "useful" means that he's evil, and if you decide to kill him for not being super-hacker-catcher, I'll have something to say about it. Namely, "why are you so eager to find reasons to kill off innocents?"
I'd give him a 3-4/10 at the moment, although I'll look at everything a bit more over the Night and give you a better picture then.

Agan: Oh, no, not this girl again. She just won't leave me alone!
[quick insert to say HA as my internet about ate my post and failed]
Anyway, I think she's okay at the moment. She's been her normal self, ish, and I just don't think we should kill her. At least, not at the moment.
I'd give her a 3-4/10.

Nilp: I've only played with him once, but he doesn't seem to be in wolf mode. I apologize in advance if I'm mistaken, but for now I think he's okay.
I'd give him a 1-2/10 on the scale, and he'll probably stay there unless he does something....well, Nilpish.

Eomer: Erm, I'm kind of confused here, what with (in the last game) he and Cailin playing back and forth. Not that I have a problem with, but it means that I don't know what was him and what was Cailin. I'll get something more about him toMorrow, but I just noticed the time so I need to move on. Sorry.
Withholding a rank right now, although he strikes me as a bit off.

Noggie: Isn't he louder? That alone makes me nervous. I remember what a genius he was in Legate's game, and I just find it odd that he would be ordo/gifted and be so quiet. That and I'm not about to be fooled by him like I was last time.
I'm rating him about 6-7/10, just to be on the safe side.

Form: Quite frankly, I don't like the way he's doing things. (Of course, that's not to say that....oh, you get the point....) The first post I saw of his toDay was long and drawn out, statistical and accurate, but "utterly deceptive twaddlespeak, says I". There's a fine line between wanting to be overly helpful and wanting to look helpful so no one will kill you off. Or does he always play like this? I've never played with him before, but at the moment it looks fuzzy as an overripe peach pie....even cobbler? (sorry, couldn't resist the joke....means nothing)
I'll give him a 5-7/10 as well.

Mith: Now, she did jump on me quite quickly, but after I reviewed posts I can see why.
[bunny trail] Not that it matters, but I made quite the typo yesterDay. I looked and I had x'd since Ka's 61, not 71. Take it for what you will, but I feel quite stupid, honestly. [/bunny trail]
Other than that, i think she's pretty level headed and I'd like to keep her around. She (and others) really seem to want to get rid of EW....conspiracy? She's given me a few things that don't sit right, but overall....
I'd give her....meh, a 3-5/10 to be safe.

Shoot. The time. Sorry, stopping here for now just so I can catch up. (I've been refreshing, but not really reading because I'm obviously a bit rushed.)

X'd since I don't know when. I know it was past Form's vote though, if that helps.

[satansaloser2005]

Well, drat. I'm not terribly keen on lynching either. But as you've seen, I'm against Agan and Eon (being lynched, that is.) If we want to kill Eon, fine, but come up with a better reason than "he's not helpful."

I need to think about it for a bit. Give me like three minutes to catch up (again, you rabid posters you ) and I'll come back and make up my mind.

Actually, she usually is a loudmouth.

Yes.

Aganzir speaks the truth.

edit: x-ed since Nerwen's #236

[Aganzir]

Well not that it really matters anymore

++EW

[Brinniel]

Deadline. Silence everyone!

The Elf-Warrior has been lynched. Narration will come...

[Nogrod]

Okay. That's it then.

++ Kitanna

On principle as it doesn't matter any more.

Not in hers either. She picked it up in....*GASP*....Harry Potter!


(Kidding, kidding. I love the word loquacious, by the way. )



EDIT: X'd with Eon and the Modgoddess. Please don't smite me oh ye of fantastic narration *bows*

[Brinniel]

The second day was almost as messy as the first. Accusations were flung left and right. It seemed there weren’t any BDers that were not under scrutiny.
Formendacil complained that no wolf kill made it even more difficult for analyzing, while Sally retorted, “How could you?! Give the ranger some credit, for gosh sake!”

Finally two lynching candidates were brought forward: Eönwë and The Elf-Warrior.
“Alright, so everyone has to vote for either Eönwë or Elf-Warrior,” Rikae announced.
“Wait,” Boromir interjected. “Why should we only have two candidates? Can’t we start a third bandwagon against Nerwen?”
“No,” Nerwen quickly replied.
“Okay fine,” Boromir grumbled.
“Let’s vote already,” stated Nilpaurion. “Raise your hand if you want to lynch Eönwë.” Four raised their hands. “Okay…and raise your hand if you want to kill Elf-Warrior.” Nine raised their hands.
“Hold on…not everyone voted,” Shasta noticed. “Who do you want to lynch, Kitanna and Nogrod?”
“Aganzir,” said Kitanna.
“Kitanna,” said Nogod.
“Well you two didn’t vote for the finalists, so I say they don’t count!” commented Aganzir. “What about you, Kath?”
Kath hesitated. “Umm….I’d rather not vote?”
“That leaves only one non-voter,” observed Sally. “Where’s Durelin?” But Durelin had never emerged from her tent. The BDers could still hear her snoring, rather loudly.
“No matter,” Eönwë said. “Elf-Warrior still got more than twice the amount of votes than me. I say we kill him now!”
“But wait…” Ka spoke up. “Remember our mistake yesterday? What if Elf-Warrior is not a hacker?”
“I have an idea,” said Mithalwen. “Let’s tie him up and dump him in the lake. And if he floats…well then, that must mean he’s a hacker and we can kill him.”
“Yeah,” agreed Formendacil. “That does make sense.”

The other BDers had to agree that Mithalwen’s idea was quite a logical one. So they tied Elf-Warrior up and carried him to the docks of the lake where they dropped him. The Elf-Warrior fell with a big splash, then disappeared. The BDers waited 1…2…3 minutes. After a full five minutes, the Elf-Warrior still had not emerged.

“Well, I guess he wasn’t a hacker after all,” spoke Eomer.

Night 3 has begun.

Hackers may PM and choose a kill. Gifteds, send me your choices.

[Brinniel]

When the hacker arrived at the usual meeting place, her two companions were already there.
“You’re late,” said the larger one.
“so what im l8te,” she replied. “im hre now so lets strt pl@nning. who r we gonna kil?”
“Look,” the smaller hacker said. “The two of us were talking while waiting, and we’ve decided we would be better off if you were no longer part of the team.”
“What!!!111” the hacker was shocked. “thats stoopid.”
“Not really,” commented the first hacker. “I mean, you can’t even speak proper English. And how are we supposed to work with you when everyone can hardly understand you?”
“so what u gonna do? Kik me ut? Send me paking?”
“Err…not exactly. You see, due to the events of last night, the two of us are more than hungry. So instead of just one, we’d like to have two meals tonight.”
“OMG, what?!!!!” cried out the hacker. “u cant eat me!!!111”
“Sure we can,” her former teammates replied. “Just you watch.”
“Mut1ny!!! Mut1ny!!!” screamed the poor hacker as she backed away.
“Mutiny?” questioned the smaller hacker. “This isn’t mutiny. We don’t even have a designated leader. Do you even know what mutiny means?”
“no. I jst wantd to sund smart.” She continued to wiggle and squirm as the others attempted to grab hold of her.
“Now hold still so we can eat you,” said the larger hacker.
“Nevr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” she cried.
“But don’t you understand? We’re just asking for a simple sacrifice. You wouldn’t want to see your fellow hackers starve, would you?”
“noo…but i wont let u eat me.”
“Not even for….a Legolas poster?”
The young hacker turned up her nose. “i alrdy have 100 of thse.”
“With an authentic autograph by Orlando Bloom?”
“lemme see!!”
The other hackers handed her the poster and she stared at admiringly.
“ZOMG Leggy is soo HAWT!!!111”
“So it’s a deal then?” asked the larger hacker. “Your flesh for the hot Legolas poster?”
“o k.”

So as the fangirl hacker stared at her poster, the other two hackers prepared a stew over the firepit. When the water was boiling, they chopped her into tiny bits and dumped her into a pot. Aside from the occasional mouthfuls of fur, it was one of the best meals they ever had.

Now with only two of them left, it suddenly seemed very lonely.
“Now this just won’t do,” said one hacker. “We should find someone to replace our last mate. And perhaps not eat them this time.”
“Good call,” replied the other. “And I have just the idea on which BDer to turn…”

--------------------------------------------

When the BDer woke, it was still dark. All that could be seen was blackness. So why had they awoken? Then suddenly…a noise. Before the BDer could move, a sharp pain shot through their arm as teeth sunk into flesh.
“Ow!” the BDer yelped. “Something bit me!”
The bitten BDer scurried for a flashlight and flipped the switch. Expecting to see some wild animal, they instead saw two familiar shapes.
“Hey, what are you guys doing in here?” the BDer wondered. “And what happened to your faces?” A pause. “Wait a minute….you can’t be….the hackers?!”
The BDer grabbed a can of bug spray and held it in front of the two hackers. “Stay back! I have pest repellent and I’m not afraid to use it.”
“No need to worry, friend,” one of the hackers finally spoke. “You’re one of us now.”
“What?”
“You see,” said the other hacker. “We didn’t bite you just for taste. It won’t be long before you’re just as furry as us. There’s no turning back.”
“You mean…I get to be evil now?” The thought of such a thrill made the BDer’s stomach flutter with excitement. Or maybe it was just growling with hunger…
“Yep.”
“So does that mean you’ll teach me how to create viruses?”
“Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves,” the first hacker replied. “You have to earn that. For now, we just need your help brutally slaughtering innocent campers.”
“I don’t see the harm in that,” said the newly turned hackers. “So who do we get to kill tonight?”

-----------------------------------------------------

The next morning the BDers woke to find a large gift wrapped box sitting in the middle of the camp. Nogrod picked it up and read the tag aloud: “Haha stoopid BDrs. Evin dead i can stil mes w/ ur minds. U wil nevr cach teh oders!!!111 ges how mny threr ar now!!!111 p.s. plz send my remans to Orli XOXOXO”
Shasta quickly translated for the puzzled others. Then the BDers opened the box to find it full of bones.
“Well by the chatspeak I’m guessing this must be Nerwen,” Sally observed.
“It makes sense considering how annoying she was with all that bad grammar,” said Mithalwen. “Though I wonder why she’s dead…is this some sort of trick?”
Meanwhile Aganzir raked through the bones. “My my Nerwen, what very large teeth you had,” she held up an abnormally large tooth.
“Hey,” Formendacil spoke up as he counted heads. “Someone else is missing.”

The BDers searched each tent until they came to the very last one. What they saw was what remained of the bloody mess that had once been Kath. Laying beside her was a piece of paper written in blood.
Eomer picked it up. “It’s a poem.”

It read:

Pain surrounds me
As teeth tear into my soft pale flesh
I am exposed
I cannot run.
I cannot hide.
It’s too late for that.
Why can no one hear my screams?
Bloodcurdling, they echo through my tent
But the others, they are all heavy sleepers
Blast them.
Blast them all.
All is cold.
I am fading quickly
As I watch them chew my heart.
Avenge me!
Lynch them!
Curse you werewolves.
Curse. You.

“Aww, poor Kath,” sighed Kitanna.
“Werewolves?” wondered Ka. “You mean, werewolves actually exist?”
“Of course they do,” Durelin replied. “Though…I thought it was hackers we were dealing with.”
“Well it seems our bad guys are much more than hackers,” Boromir stated.
“Oh dear,” muttered Eönwë.
“Looks like we’ve been caught in a real life version of a Werewolf game,” Rikae concluded.
