People are not postiiiing, yah-dah-dah-dadey...
Everybody's laaaa-zyyyy... This way, comrades, this way we won't ever build that socialism. Erm... okay. Hey, but our comrades in the Shire almost succeeded already... just need to get rid of a few Baggins exploiters and everything's gonna be fine... The Shire needs five thousand new tractors. Why is there a weapons dealer, and not a tractor dealer? All hail to the People's Republic of Michel Delving! Waiting for comrade Sharkey to arrive to set things right. Hobbitton needs a new mill. And what about our village? Are we going to stay behind? I take the pledge to supply Bree with five hundred herrings per day. Every herring is a serious blow to the Western imperialism. Which means probably the Dwarves from the Blue Mountains. Yeah, they think they have a monopoly on everything. Bree needs to produce more charcoal! Heaps all over the edges of Chetwood. Or are you not going to post in order to make me being silly here? Yes, pretty much succesful.

For once it's not me who finds Lommy's phrasing suspicious. I read through the thread with plans to make a Guilty/Innocent/Neither list, but decided against it. Lommy, Legate and Nerwen look innocent enough thus far, of the others I have absolutely nothing to say.

Having labored all day to complete it, Beregond sharpens the edge of the sword he had made a week ago.
"It's not pretty, but it should get the job done. I've never been much use making blades, but I have been improving my art." He sticks it deep into an old chipped and mangled wooden block in the corner of his shop. Then he checks the tip. "Hmmm. Not bad, not bad. Been getting some pointers from Gollum. Creepy fellow, and talkative, but I've never met anyone so knowledgeable. I'm going to keep this sword on my side from hereon. Can't be too careful. Can't get the image of... of... No, rather not think about that. What we need to do is find these wraiths, or whatever they are, and see they don't do us no more harm! I have suspicions, but it's real hard to see under the cloaks, so to speak. And I've happened to notice, only nine out of the nineteen or so people in our village have even spoke out yet. Ten, now. But wouldn't a wraith want to stay out of the sunlight, so to speak? Maybe none of them have posted at all. But wraiths are crafty folk - so I've heard from the elders, I haven't seen them myself - and by posting they could avoid suspicion, or try. Now, like I said before Gollum is a strange one, and he talks more'n I've heard before, but I can't fix him as an evil one. Maybe I owe him too much. Who else, then: Sally? Shasta? Durelin? Nerwen? I dunno about them. I have a feeling Brinn could be something other than she seems - she was the first to really encourage proper discussion and then she left, almost to deflect suspicion and avoid notice all in one. I don't know about the rest of you, but I just don't know as she is who she says she is."

Hello, children. I meant to stop in this morning at work, except I um... couldn't access the... village...
Anyway, I'm here and my only goal for day one is to try to scare wolves by attempting to vote for one, given that logically their only real fear on Day 1 is to be accidentally caught, since they haven't left behind any clues yet that could actually lead straight to them. I think... Sally. Sally shall be my go-to person for a lynch target for now. She just seems to enthusiastic, and I tend to find that the more enthusiastic players on day one usually have a special role. So I shall just go take a bit of my belladonna now, nap for a little while, take advantage of an unexpectedly free afternoon...

I disagree with you Legate, I do not think that Brinn or Lommy has said anything of substanse. . . It is just the usual "look at me I am all serious about the game" nonsense that allways pops up, it is no more usefull than the in charachter banter, but it is less intertaining.
It would be foolish of me to assume them evil because of these comments, but it is worth taking a note about. It shows that they to some degree would like to be viewed as people who are focused on catching the evil-doers. Anyways I am afraid I won't be around much today, I have many things that needs tending to. (I am babysitting my little brother) |

Made me giggle.) I'm almost certainly going to wait a while to vote (I actually plan on taking a nap, if no one minds) but I'm pretty sure I won't be voting him. Anyway, to nap land, but I'll be back later and since I'm no longer trying to avoid my paper I'll probably post something of at least some substance.

Continuing my flip-flopping on this topic...
++Aganzir No, I don't think she's a wraith. She might be but I don't suspect that very much, The problem is that I don't suspect anyone else of being undead either. (Q: What is a 'downsian traitor? A: Undead. Hahahahahaha.) But I wouldn't be surprised at all if Aggy happened to have Underhill or Ferny as her last name, and that's why I'm picking her instead of someone else just as unwraithish. And besides, maybe some of our eternal ww-grudges get settled a little if I vote her on Day1 like she did to me a few games ago. ![]() Now I'm going to sleep - my alarm clock is in six hours or so! ![]() edit: xed with Rikae's latest - yes, that's why I said he gives me headache. But he probably gives headache to the baddies too, so I will bear it. Now, really, good night, people!

Not that Greenie voted for Gollum, but that Gollum would attract votes on day one. To be honest I have spotted little that I found worthy of mentioning, mostly because I did not read it closely. . .it was not very interesting. So far my tactics must be to get more atention than fea in this game, yeah I know, but you gotta aim high some times. |

Good catch about Mac Lommy. Because that just looks like either "Hey I'm Billy and I'm gonna give you my name this night!" or "Hey Billy would you like to give us your name?".

Well, now that you drag it all out in the open, it could just as well be intended to confuse Billy and/or the wraiths.

The state of cluelessness.
Could vote: Sally - chatty, as usual. More actual input, please Lari - has escaped my attention thus far Shasta - see Sally Gollum - could be anything Nerwen - needs to talk some more before I can decide Lily - unclear picture, need to have another look at her Wouldn't like to vote: Fea - to much fun to have around to vote without reason Mirandir - newbie-bonus Lommy - has done nothing to make me suspect her Legate - probably the most innocent-looking person around Rikae - I would probably find myself sleeping on the couch if I voted her today ![]() Aganzir - hasn't made a suspicious impression and is too valuable to vote heedlessly Nogrod - looks innocent, as unlikely as that might seem Brego - innocent-looking + newbie-bonus Rune - hasn't played in a while (I think) and does not look suspicious Menel - I lynched him last game. he needs to talk more, though Durelin - hasn't played in a while. she needs to talk more, though Brinn - probably innocent, but not sure Quote:

The above might need additional commentary.
Trying to pass off someone else's point as one's own is somewhat suspicious. More suspicious: trying to pass off one's own point as someone else's. EDIT: And by "the above" I mean my post. X'd with Mac. |

I'm going to vote now so that I can crash comfortably for the night.
Following Rune for Brinn- I'm terrified of this girl no matter what team she's on. I won't have her slip past me in this game. Sorry, hun. ++Brinniel

Okay. So apparently I had a very nice nap.
![]() I've read through and noticed a couple things but, as of yet, nothing is hugely popping out at me. That being said.... People who never buy me dinner (They's nasty, precious) Brinn (after the brilliance of her last wolfdom anything's possible) Rikae (oh, let's face it, she's just always evil. But I've not played with her in a bit and she's fun to keep around, so for now she may stay) Noggie (too tricksy for his own good. all the time) Agan (as I said in the Christmas card I sent her, she's always evil, no matter her role ![]() Mac (I know he's tricksy, and adaptive, but after last game I'm hesitant to lynch him. however I wouldn't put it past him to make use of that and perhaps try to play the innocent card when he's really hairy and nasty) Sleepover buddies (people I probably won't kill toDay) Lari, Mira, Beregond (too new to not feel guilty about killing them toDay, but that state of grace won't necessarily last forever) Nerwen (probably evil, but I'll let her stay another Day since she hasn't played in a while ![]() Gollum (to make up for last game, and because I don't think he's a good Day One kill this game. Perhaps later, but I'll let him stay for at least another Day) Shasta (just does not seem evil to me. I know he's being silly and not terribly useful, but he strikes me heavily as an innocent, and I think I've gotten over my "holy crap my logic is working backwards" slump. hopefully) Menel (too amusing. I'm not going to lie) By the way, those aren't in any particular order. I just put them in as they came to me. Going to catch up on the thread again now. EDIT: x'd, obviously, though I'm not sure how far back. sorry

To the real thing
I agree with whoever it was that situation looks good. For the moment. What seems to be overlooked is that hanging over the Pony like the Sword of Damacles is the danger of losing an ordo and gaining another wraith. The Ringbearer will be their prime target and we cant spend valuable time chit-chatting (like me, for instance). Once a couple of Wraiths are gone then we'll be on fairly solid ground. Also I agree with the other whoever it was that Beregond and Mirandir should be given a day or two- but not necessarily the game. Remember me in Di's game, using "newbieness" as a cloak for for my evil? I hope there isn't a repetition of that here.

Well, I'm not cloaking anything, and I'd like to survive as much as the next guy!
I'd "discuss" if I knew what that meant. How can we find and protect the Ringbearer? Or should we eliminate the Ringbearer to remove the threat? Do we even want to discover the Ringbearer, or should that person stay hidden from all? EDIT: Lots of crossing! You can call me Bere, in fact, please do - that's the only shortened version I have for this alias. ![]()

Hello bunnies.
What is it that the day has been going for six hours and there's already two pages? I'm not used to this. *okay reads the two pages and is not surprised anymore* I am concerned about Menel based solely on the narration. Something more sinister just sounds awfully bad! ![]() Quote:

I'm not overly fond of the banter either. I find showing off with my post count worth my while only when I've actually posted some serious substance. Quote:
Okay some things about the roles. The seer cannot trust xer dreams completely as Ferny is revealed as an ordo. I assume Ferny counts as an ordo in numbers, then, too? Has the seer dreamed already? I wonder what should be done with Frodo. We might not want to lynch xem as long as xe's an ordo but we also wouldn't like to get xem wolf-killed. Comrade Legate is being sensible. However, the situation being as it is, I think the Socialist Republic of Breeland needs a strong intelligency agency to spy on every citizen in order to find the wrongdoers. Let's make this a police state until things are solved!

Who do you call a bunny? Are you not the person who calls rabbits conies, when you don't turn their Frodos to wolves? Or something very similar.
