WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rikae · 03-25-2009, 01:21 PM

After I called Lommy "feathered" (in reference to her personal title), Nienna commented about me hitting the nail on the head.

I voted for you because your comments about Lommy (who I already had decided was a duck) looked seerish. I'm not in the duck-voting game.

Macalaure · 03-25-2009, 01:22 PM

So you're a cobbler who votes for the person you think is a seer every day?

satansaloser2005 · 03-25-2009, 01:27 PM

This is getting too good.

*grabs popcorn*

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-25-2009, 01:28 PM

Finally they shut the door on the fire extinguisher salesperson!

Now to get them the use the pitcher of water . . .

Rikae · 03-25-2009, 01:30 PM

I am:

a traditional dish in both the United States and the United Kingdom, although the meaning of me is quite different in each country. In the United States, I am usually a dessert consisting of a fruit filling poured into a large baking dish over a batter that rises through when baking. In the United Kingdom I am usually a savoury meat dish, typically a lamb casserole (or would that be mutton now?), which is covered with a savoury scone-like topping—each scone (or biscuit) forming a separable Rikae. Fruit-based versions are also increasingly popular in the United Kingdom—although they still retain the separate biscuit topping of the meat version—and savoury or meat versions are not unknown in the United States.

satansaloser2005 · 03-25-2009, 01:32 PM

*cough* sublety mace *cough*

I believe we could do with a bit less conspicuous behavior, eh?

P.S. That was....amazing, by the way.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-25-2009, 01:39 PM

Really concerned.

Shan't defend Rikae if she insists she's edible. After all, there was a clause.

Better to seek duck.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-25-2009, 01:44 PM

I love you, too, Durelin.

Yes Duck is better.... and wooo everyone came out of the woodwork.... just when I got bored and went to check on something else.... hey ho.... but better a shoemaker than an innocent....

Macalaure · 03-25-2009, 02:06 PM

The difference between Rikae and Nilp / Mith and Fea, is that the latter two claim to be on our side. Of course, this does not mean they are. Rikae and Nilp don't look like they're on our side, but does that mean they aren't? In Nilp's case I could indeed imagine that he needs to be lynched in order for us to benefit (then again, maybe he has to be lynched so that the duck(s) benefit in some way), but I have a hard time believing that Rikae has the best of the village in mind. I don't think of her as a duck or related to one, though. The question is therefore, do we want to lynch a likely cobbler? With three ducks dead already, we might be able to afford wasting the kill.

Of course if you all completely screw this up and manage to end the game toDay I will be quite cross. I'm just sayin'.

Mithalwen · 03-25-2009, 03:05 PM

Oooh so tempting Miss Moddess...

As some day it may happen that some victims must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!

Macalaure · 03-25-2009, 03:11 PM

Rikae, Nilp, and who else?

What Durelin didn't mention was that that quadruple lynching was staged exclusively by ordos - and killed exclusively ordos. In other words, on this very day, we have been given the unique opportunity to screw up big and thoroughly.

Durelin · 03-25-2009, 03:14 PM

Yes, four brave ordos made a pact...it was epic.

With two cobblers in the game, no less...

Isabellkya · 03-25-2009, 03:09 PM

Hm.

I say we go with a double lynch. Of Rikae and Nilp. Both with Cobbler DNA, and both are trying to look Cobblery.

o.O

satansaloser2005 · 03-25-2009, 03:10 PM

Incidentally, Kath is currently unable to access the Downs due to internet problems, so until she returns she is off the lynch block. Just sayin'. Carry on.

Mithalwen · 03-25-2009, 03:18 PM

There's the pestilential nuisances who try to get you killed--
And pesky cobblers whether meat or fruit filled--
And people who are leaders and try to raise a cheer--
They fill me with great fear, they fill me with great fear--
But my dearest boy - I'll leave him off the list--
I know that he'll be missed, I know that he'll be missed

CHORUS. She's got 'em on the list--she's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of
'em be missed.

Durelin · 03-25-2009, 03:11 PM

I wonder what the end of toDay is going to look like. Probably half the votes in at exactly 10:00 pm CT...and think of the retractions....

Isabellkya · 03-25-2009, 03:14 PM

I can't seem to decide whether or not people have really lost their minds.

Okay now we're starting to play it tough, right?

So basically everyone is free to come up with whichever-kind of a fantastic role their imgination allows and we just have no clue whether it could be true or not...

I mean that would make sense. But if you're in here to pick seers then we should lynch you immediately before you "hit the nail in the head". Or is that just what you want as you're the dark side of the phantom's apprentice?

Isabellkya · 03-25-2009, 02:00 PM

Oh my.

I really don't understand the near hysteria that seems to be on the edge of things.

I think we should just lynch Rikae and be done with it. What ever her supposed/inferred special bomb thing is, can't be worse than her being alive influencing and helping the Duckies.

X'd with Nilp and fixed tag.
