WW LXXXVIII: What Lies in the Dark (Game Thread) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ok, so we know no one was stung last night, but the person who was bitten from the start, did they get saved by Sam or have they been completely turned, I'm still super confused about that. (Moddess?? have you already said something about this and I just missed it, or are you not going to tell us?) I know from the admin thread that the way it worked was that Shelob sent Cupcake a list of a few she would like on her side, and the Moddess picked one randomly, and that's who was bitten from the start, and who Sam had a chance to save yesterDay.

I'm inclined to trust phantom, not because he is so utterly convinced of my innocence, but because I understand what he was doing and I'm also 99% sure it was successful. And I'm mostly inclined to trust Boro, but I am still undecided because I don't think I have a complete grasp of what's going on right now (hence my question for the Cupcake up there ^).

I don't know how I feel about Lhuna, I'm sorta confused about what was going on yesterDay, why people wanted Sam to choose her, and now why people are sort of suspecting her. I don't totally get that. I feel pretty good about Lottie and Nog (though I seem to always trust them, so I don't want to put too much weight on that), and everyone else is a mystery to me. I'm not sure who I want to vote for yet.

I'll be back soon.

x'ed with Boro and Inzil

I don't think Our Moddess is coming back before DL.

If Sam had stopped the original spiderling from changing all the way, doesn't that mean someone else would have been stung last Night?

I'm with you on that.

And for some reason I'm not making much sense out of toDay (combined with yesterDay) so I'll go with what little I understand. We're after only one person ultimately: Shelob. And I would like to think that at this point Shelob would prefer sitting pretty in the middle of her web, keeping herself as safe as possible while waiting for the numbers to fall on her side.

So.

Bom strikes me as the most careful player thus far, and he looks worse for giving the impression of following the phantom around blindly. But at the same time he mentioned him first in his suspicions list. What's up with that?

While at this point I doubt the phantom is Shelob, I am wary of those who trust him too much. I really don't understand why some of you think Lhuna was stung yesterDay and was probably healed by Sam last Night. And based on what I remember, Nogrod seems to be among those people.

The rest... I don't know yet. I'll be back, perhaps with my vote. I do need sleep, too.

Loslote · 05-07-2011, 01:59 PM

I'm pretty okay with Boro. I've got an idea about what he's doing, and I'm okay with it. (Also, this is the first time I've ever had a proper idea about what someone is doing, and it made me all excited when I got the brainflash.) So, yeah, rather opposed to lynching him right now.

Edit: xed with Noggins

Nerwen ++ TP
Bom ++ Lottie
Lhuna ++ Bom
Lottie ++ Zil
Fea ++ TP (2)

Fea and Nerwen are possibilities so long as we have enough votes to clinch them. Inzil- meh. I don't have strong feelings on him, but I'm unlikely to go for him because I kind of need his help. Bom would be easier to take down, but not as satisfying to me personally (though he did ignore my orders not to vote Lottie).

I don't want Lottie dead, and I sure as heck don't want me dead.

As far as Boro- it may simply be too risky to try and lynch him, as that would push him to vote for me.

Can I just request, Boro, if you are innocent- you may wish to consider taking one for the team if it does happen to come down to you versus me. But with these remaining voters I'm guessing you'll end up getting a pass today.

EDIT: x-post with Boro's vote, scratch that last bit... updated tally->
Nerwen ++ TP
Bom ++ Lottie
Lhuna ++ Bom
Lottie ++ Zil
Fea ++ TP (2)
Boro ++ Lhuna

So that means, so far as I'm concerned, that Boro is back on the menu, Nog, Inzil, and others that are around.

Sure. I am afterall, an inconsequential nitwit.

I don't think you are today, but you appeared to be saying that yesterday, hence my Spiderling belief. Don't blame me for you acting like you were stung.

the phantom · 05-07-2011, 02:55 PM

Okay people, we need to vote!

I wish to save myself, so I can't really vote right now until the rest of you do, so it's up to you to start the train.

I prefer Boro, but I'll pretty much hop onto any train I have to in order to save myself.
