WW LXXIX: Fall From Olympus - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Um, Tum. If you were wishing not to die today, I'm not sure if that was the best vote. Understand- I'm not saying you're lying, but... I mean- we can't prove you're the Seer, so we can't for certain believe you. Plus you may be false. And I don't think Rikae was likely to attract a run of votes.

I can understand revealing in your position, but to go ahead and cast your vote like that? Not a good plan at all.

This. You just condemned yourself to die, more or less.

Good heavens, I feel like a moronic newbie. I still don't understand. You mean, she may be false, therefore if she lists names that are really false, innocents could die? Eh...it's true. But it is possible that we will be able to decipher what her dreams told her and determine of they are true or not.

If she's legit and she names innocent names then yes, people could be killed. If she's false I don't care, but we don't know yet, so I'd much rather wait.

If she's even telling the truth, that is.

Folwren · 07-30-2010, 11:40 PM

My bet is she's not bluffing.

But...guys...listen. It doesn't make sense that if Tum is the Seer that she is the false one, because Boromir seemed to be false, didn't he? He seemed to be pointing to Eonwe being a wolf, and Eonwe was our only completely innocent chap around.

Tum, are you Hestia or Apollo? My apologies if you said and I missed it.

Our only chance is to check her out. I think we're not in that dire straits we couldn't afford it - even if they got a fifth and a sixth wolf...

I mean don't trust tp's optimism if he's one of them.

Nogrod · 07-30-2010, 11:47 PM

Showing qualities time...

Rikae · 07-30-2010, 11:48 PM

Sally, I think you know something useful here. Am I right?

Look, I can see that no one wants to risk losing a seer, but would you rather lose a false seer or a ranger?

As I said, there's been no evidence that any of his (several) possible hints were accurate. But that's hardly proof...
EDIT:X'd with everyone again.

the phantom · 07-30-2010, 11:47 PM

Note: If Tum does end up being the Seer, I will pat myself on the back and say, "See, told you I wasn't happy with her as a candidate!" Problem is, at the same time I am not overly happy about testing her powers on Rikae, as I've been operating under the impression that Rikae was, well, something else (not Ares). I mean- you have hinted at your role, haven't you Rikae? Very quiet like? Things that only obessive WW junkies would catch? Or have you been hood-winking me?

Nog- you're totally off yet again. It frankly ticks me off that you're not going to get lynched.

Let's kill him then.

I didn't realize that. Newbie mistake. If you lynch me I guarantee you that I will NOT be a wolf and will be revealed as the Seer. Besides do you really think that I could come up with a plan to reveal as a Seer as a wolf. This would only be my second game. I know I'm smart, but I'm not sure I'm that smart. Besides that'd be bad taste. At least for me.

Well we could still coordinate enough to save you. I need to look at votes.

Again, assuming we want to save you.

See, this is why plans are bloody good things. *whimpers into her pillow*

Rikae · 07-30-2010, 11:44 PM

False reveals are bad taste? *headdesk*

Autume, I wanted to like you, really.

Folwren, you seem to forget that Boro was pointing even more blatantly to Phantom being Zeus, and we still don't know anything about that; not to mention the wolves would probably not have killed him in the first place if he wasn't right about something.

Boro could have been random. I'm not saying it was, but they could have been after their cursed or a ranger or just about anything. We don't know the wolves' motives.

Or he dreamed Mira as Ranger, which may or may not be a false dream - though it seems that way. Thing is, we really have no solid idea which it was.

How would the Hunters kill you toNight? That makes no sense.

We could anyway, Ranger-protect Tum, and deal with the whole situation toMorrow, when we're not down to the last ten minutes of the Day.

EDIT: xed since the TP post I quoted

I didn't forget...that all never made any sense to me, so I just didn't understand. The Zues statements were astonishingly sketchy - you all agreed come Day2. The Eonwe statement was not.

Folwren · 07-30-2010, 11:51 PM

We have, what, nine minutes? Dang.
