Into the dusk, some Wargs had remained by Eomer’s walls, peering at the markings. There were so many, and so difficult to interpret, for Eomer spoke numerous languages and used various letters and runes to project his mind. More pieces had emerged: Deliverance earned through chance, whatever Wargs are in the time gathered. The carnage begins and the originator steps nearer. Unseen is he who shadows the master. Both march to our bleak axis, the confirmation of our pain, towards the slayers we experience as harrowers.

The morning came, after the Wargs had spent the night with little sleep and less rest. They found her early. Strewn across a huge boulder, was the stretched and torn carcass of Kitanna. Aside from the horrific mutilation she had suffered, no sign of her being anything other than a normal and true Warg Elder was seen.

I have to wake up in six hours so I'll make this as brief as I can...

That was bad! I mean yesterDay...

Does anyone remember someone getting lynched with just two votes on Day1?

The information we can draw from the lynch is even less we might have feared. Basically half of the village got at least one vote... We might as well make a deal that everyone should vote for the one next to her/him in the "living" column.

The way both Gollum and Gwath just dropped in without any presence before it and a long time after the deadline - well minutes - looks and feels bad. If you are goodies please join the discussion if you're around and let us others share your thoughts. Knowing you're around and knowing what you think might have led us to another conclusion and maybe... well, maybe we could have voted differently and who knows? But how you performed yesterDay felt sneaky.

I must agree with Nogrod about yesterDat's lynching... it was rather too random, really. But on the other hand, I think yesterDay was also less informative than Day1s in general, so I would say that is at least a little understandable, if not totally acceptable... And to add to this that we lynched our guardian, it's really just not very impressive. I think the problem was that there was really no discussion in the late minutes, just everybody stating their opinion in no relation to other people's actions...

And I'm a bit baffled by Kitanna's death. I can't think of an apparent reason why she died, especially as she was - at least in a way - suspected quite a lot yesterDay. Was she suspected of seerism or did they kill her to confuse us or something? I should have a look at her posts, maybe, but I'm too tired right now... *yawn* I will go sleep sooner or later, but I might hang around for a short while if there's lively discussion here...

Okay, I think there's no need for me to second the quite unhelpful, when it comes to evidence, course of events this far. YesterDay's actions and voting give really too little to chew, toNight's kill however maybe could - at least a little. I would like to maybe stop and dig deeper into it, but for now, there's just one point which I can raise from it, which you can find below.

However Gwath did explain himself, I'd still appeal on people along the lines of this to actually post during the Day, and give grounds on whom they suspect and why, instead of just appearing at the very DL with "I vote XY". Making a post "I suspect X all of the most, and also maybe Y" does not sure take long, and simply sharing your inner thoughts is a point of this game.

What!!!

I will not even dare guessing at what most of this means. . .
Quite, quite... Not a single word about that. Enough is enough! Howgh (sounds pretty Wargish, actually ).

Actually, I could second that in a way, but, we all know what - Nogrod is just Nogrod. It's just that the image of him laughing evilly after yesterDay's course of events looks pretty possible to me, but that's of course no grounds for real suspicion.

Although there's one thing, I don't belive Nog-wolf would pick Kitanna for a first kill. That'd really testify strongly against him in my eyes. He would pick some quiet one to "punish" him.

I think today's going to be, for me, more about observation (and that's to hope there will be EVERYBODY posting so that I can observe them), also because I am not sure how much time I'd have during the day to post. But I will show around, definitely. Just not that I'd be overflowing the thread.

EDIT: x-ed since last Gwathagor

Actually, I will venture as far as to say just one thing: I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that Eomer enjoyed our confusion a lot yesterDay and is now writing weirder and weirder narrations just in order to confuse us more and amuse himself...

I wouldn't say that twice - I thought that as well may have been so.

Anyway, as for this anti-Nogrod front, I am really looking forward to see what he says when he sees this...

He seems to be contributing to our confusion as much as the Were Wargs have, I can't make heads or tails out of what he's trying to say in the intro's!

I'll be back later. Right now I need to make dinner before my brothers get back. Happy Were Warg hunting!

You take the words right out of my mouth. I am also eyeing Nogrod with suspicion.

The deadline, for me, is in the middle of the afternoon and thus inconvenient. I was busy right up until when I posted on the thread 20 or so minutes before the deadline - hardly enough time for me to catch up on everything I missed and then form careful opinions of my fellow players. As it was, I ended up voting late and without confidence.

In other words, I was as present yesterDay as I could possibly be. I cannot help that I simply have very very little RL time to spare.

You might not be able to help it, but if it continues people will find it suspisous since you do have a 24 hour period to pop in and say a few words. . . of course only a few words will not satisfy Nogrod, but maybe it will satisfy some of the other wargs.

Lommy, no matter the motive for the killing of Kitana it was a good kill as we all seem to be clueless over it, I know I am.

Too bad. I'll be here as much as I can.

Thinlomien strikes me as much more giddy, both toDay and yesterDay, than usual. I think it was commented on yesterDay, and I didn't think much of it, but then I noticed again toDay that she seems extra-ordinarily exuberant. It could be that she is employing a different playing style just for the heck of it, or she could be using it as a cover.

How likely is it that Eomer would have made one of our new players a werewolf? I'm not well enough acquainted with him to know whether or not I should consider it a likelihood/possibility.

Oh look.... a werewolf game.

I have arrived!

!

Why is no one else excited? Oh well. Sorry about being absent, and all that rot. I haven't even cracked open my computer in ...four days? Has it been that long? Yikes. I didn't realize the game had started. Well anyway, I haven't really read anything in the game to know what's going on, except that I am apparently still "in the game" as it were. So I have nothing useful to say besides announcing my own effervescent presence.

Sorry about that.

I continue to harbour suspicions regarding Lommy and Legate, though the mechanics and the intricate puzzle of this fascinating game hold me unable to believe anyone much "weirder" or "more suspectable" than anyone else.

P. S. Hail Redbeard!

Day 1 Voting
Sam -> Brinniel (Brinniel 1)
Mithalwen -> Thinlomien (Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Kitanna -> Kath (Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Rune -> Mithalwen (Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Kath -> Gollum (Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Thinlomien -> Shasta (Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Legate -> Sam (Sam 1, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Nogrod -> Sam (Sam 2, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Gwathagor -> Kath (Kath 2, Sam 2, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)
Gollum -> Thinlomien (Thinlomien 2, Kath 2, Sam 2, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1)


I am inclined to think that those who voted against SamGam (Legate and Nogrod) could very well be innocent. Because yesterDay's votes were cast over a broad field, and two other people received the same number of votes as Sam, I do not see any necessary malice or bandwaggoning in Sam's death.

In particular, I doubt that Nogrod is a traitor (I can't really say "wolf"), primarily because I see the willingness to take on the attention and suspicion that comes with being the deciding vote as a sign that he honestly found Sam as likely a candidate as anyone else.

The other possibility is that Brinniel is a traitor and Nogrod was forced to kill someone else in order to save her from the lynch. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of exposing onesself so early on, when it would be equally easy to hide in an obscure vote?

Awooooh! Um.... good morning. Man it feels weird being a Warg, these fleas are really beginning to get to me.

Well our Were Wargs seem to be playing it safe for the first Night. Although I wasn't here to post yesterDay ( *goes out finds a baseball bat and hits himself* ) I did do a bit of research from Day 1. Kitanna is an absolute random kill, she proved very indecisive yesterDay talking a little bit about Samwise but later casting a vote for Kath.

I have a really bad feeling about Nogrod and I believe that a good deal of trouble would be saved if we just lynch him! Then again I always have a bad feeling about Nogrod in WW.
