I've already written up the petition.

IS there a committee, anyway? I'll have to PM Mith; I know that she was one of the first in the elite and mysterious club, and I trust her judgment to be fair and wise.

Mith would be a good option, I've always assumed Lommy was the chair-person, because she was the one who constantly bugged me about adding "Fenris Penguin," and from there I've always also assumed anyone who is Fenrised gets added onto the committee. But I don't know the specifics.

Nah, Anguirel is the honourable founder of the organisation, Mith is the current chair-person and I'm just a bossy type random member.

Anguirel is the original Fenris wolf and he named our order at my behest. There is no committee ergo I am not its chairman. It is far simpler than that.

So much internet trouble. I'm not sure if I'll be on much more toDay, but I'll read over the thread and see what I can do in the next few minutes.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-11-2009, 03:01 PM

In case anybody was starting to think that there is too little adrenaline in this game nowadays, here comes the second special event.

You have been all locked in the sacrificial chamber. It is necessary that you sacrifice one of your own to open the door and get out of the place, otherwise you all die here without oxygen. After you get out, though, you will lynch one person as usual. That means technically two "lynches" toDay.

In addition to the normal lynch vote, you get the chance to vote somebody for sacrifice toDay. Each player has one sacrifice vote. The vote is cast similarly to the normal one, but highlighted (you highlight a piece of text by writing [ highlight ]THE TEXT YOU ARE HIGHLIGHTING[ /highlight ] without spaces inside the brackets), like this:

++sacrifice Legate of Amon Lanc

You can choose not to cast your lynch vote for toDay, if you wish, and instead cast only your sacrifice vote (it both counts as if you have voted toDay for the purposes of having to vote). You can even choose to go for no-lynch toDay and only for the sacrifice, by voting thus:

++no lynch

just as if you were voting for a person. If there are more "no lynch" votes in total than lynch votes for any other person, no lynch is going to be made. (But the same cannot be done for sacrifice.)

The votes are in absolutely no relation to each other, i.e. it is like two totally separate lynches going on at the same time, not influencing each other at all. If the same person is voted for both sacrifice and lynch, he/she is going to be sacrificed (sacrifice takes priority) and the second person with the most lynch votes is going to be lynched (it can even be a "no lynch"). If there are lynch votes only for one person (if the voting was unambiguous) and the person is sacrificed first, there will be also no lynch (as there are no other votes).

Otherwise, sacrifice works like a normal "lynch".

*******************************************

EXAMPLE

Frodo, Sam and Gollum are the three last players who have not placed any of their votes on Day 7 yet. Sam has already 1 lynch vote and Gollum has 1 lynch vote, Gollum and Frodo have also 1 sacrifice vote each.

LYNCH: Sam (1), Gollum (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam, Gollum.
SACRIFICE: Gollum (1), Frodo (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam, Gollum.

Gollum votes to sacrifice Frodo, who has now 2 sacrifice votes, but when it comes to lynching, he does not think Sam is guilty, and he does not want to vote for himself (obviously).So he votes for "no lynch".

LYNCH: Sam (1), Gollum (1), no lynch (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam.
SACRIFICE: Frodo (2), Gollum (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam.

Frodo is fed up with Gollum, so he votes to lynch him and also to sacrifice him. That puts Gollum in the lead in lynching, but Frodo is still in lead for sacrifice, as he was the first one to achieve the highest number of votes.

LYNCH: Gollum (2), Sam (1), no lynch (1). Left to vote: Sam.
SACRIFICE: Frodo (2), Gollum (2). Left to vote: Sam.

Sam wants to get rid of Gollum, but he does not want to lose Frodo. So he votes to sacrifice Gollum, thus putting him in the lead. In this case, Gollum would be sacrificed, but Sam, having the second most votes for lynching, would be lynched. So he votes for "no lynch", making "no lynch" the second option after Gollum, who is sacrificed and so he cannot be lynched. Because of that, "no lynch" is "lynched" instead of Gollum - so no lynch is actually made toDay.

If there are still any questions, you may ask them here or PM them to me.

Sorry for the late posting of DL, I got sidetracked (my cousin's dog just died and I completely forgot about WW even though during the last few hours I was basically only waiting for the clock as the outcome seemed clear already). But as you can see, for those of you who live, the game's not over yet and you have a nice Night now and can look forward to the following Day

satansaloser2005 · 12-13-2009, 07:52 AM

By the way, by all accounts I won't be around much toMorrow. I won't have the internet at work (or so I assume) so I'll have to vote either extremely early or over my lunch hour, which I likely won't get tomorrow. I'll do what I can but wanted to give the heads up just in case.

*toddles off*

satansaloser2005 · 12-13-2009, 03:26 PM

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*weeps*

On the plus side I've had fun. I'll be waiting to see how it turns out.

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-13-2009, 04:12 PM

*disbelief*

satansaloser2005 · 12-13-2009, 04:13 PM

Well that was anti-climactic.

I know. Believe me, I know.

So let me get this straight. We Fenris (sort of) one wolf, the seer dreams another, the hunter takes the third with him, and we still lose? Less than two hours into the Day? I'm sorely, repeat, sorely disappointed.

By the way, Nerwen, nice job killing me. I'd self-protected the Night before but was hoping I'd be confident enough you'd assume I was doing it last Night. Alas, it didn't work, much to my surprise and chagrin.

Still...."very very very unhappy."

Shasta, I may have a song for you, but it'll have to wait a couple days most likely.

Hi, Lottie. Sorry I couldn't keep you alive. Me and Sally tried, though.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-13-2009, 04:26 PM

Okay folks, dead or alive, you can come and discuss here

There will be of course a closing narration coming up yet on the game thread... and a formal announcement of the winner(s), of course

Nienna · 12-13-2009, 04:27 PM

Epic Fail.

But nicely played, wolves. When I died and I found out who the remaining wolves were I was like "oh they will win... no one suspects them"

and I'd just like to apologize to Lommy and Wilwa for suspecting you heavily without apparent cause.

Good game everyone!

When someone hands you the game on a silver platter, you'd have to be an idiot not to take it, and an idiot you're not.

Erm, no I didn't. Well, I did but not at the beginning of the Day. I was tricked by the nasty wolfiekinses, I didn't pull out the white flag for all the world to see. Apples and oranges, my pet, apples and oranges. (Although I was horribly cross with myself for it nonetheless.)

I know you didn't do that in the beginning of the Day but it was similar enough to cause a déjà vu... Anyway, no need to be cross with yourself because of something like that, it's just a game, dear silly-Sally.

(I just like how those two words fit together...

As I said, Shasta, one pretty darn quiet wolf. (Of the ones left when I made that statement, in fact both of the quiet ones were wolves.)

I suspected Bes pretty quickly but of course "he was just being new" so we couldn't lynch him, alas. Nerwen did very well, though this again proves reverse psychology, as she was a wolf and I barely suspected her.

And now I must go. Fare thee well until my return, dear village.
