Ten Year Anniversary Game: Living Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

satansaloser2005 · 06-06-2015, 12:58 AM

Sally sat alone and confused. With all of this death, and so much chatter about who may have done these horrible things, what hope did she have of helping solve the problem? Some even suspected her of perpetrating these crimes, as ridiculous a notion as that was, and she knew she had done precious little to convince them otherwise. Sally sighed, clutching her head in her hands and grumbling about headaches. She knew there was little she could do in her current situation. She had time now, certainly, but with an incoming attack from real life she couldn't escape, she would once again be limited in her ability to assist her friends. How could she help them?

And then, as Sally sometimes does, she began to sing to herself.

I know I’ve been a little absent
A lot has already been said
What can I add to the discussion?
Or rather, what could I bring to the thread?

Not that you’ve been lying
But there’s more you could be doing
They could keep on trying
Or you could set up a shoe-in
You have an idea
You know what you’re thinking
What you need to do

I won’t reveal
I won’t give up the game

You’re never there
Why not ++ your name?

It's way too soon
I won't tell them my role

I still think maybe I can do this
I started with a good post count
But posting while at work won’t happen
Not without wanting to tear my eyes out

You can’t keep delaying
With no info, what will happen?
And if you keep playing
When will you have time for napping?
Level with the village
They could use the knowledge
Girl, you got to -have to- spill

They have no proof
They can’t know I’m a-

It’s too late now
Give it up, you’re a-

I want to play
I won’t tell them my role

When do you post?
Do your most
Share your role

Not gonna lie
Is it worth it?
Don’t want to die
Is it worth it?

Just let them know
That this lynch doesn’t count

At least in prose
I won’t tell them my role

With a heavy sigh, Sally strolled off into the night in search of a certain unnamed someone. <3

Um, so... wow.

What do we do? I mean, if she is what she is, that's a known innocent. But would the Wolves go for her, when they could be going for the Seer or the other Pack? And do we dare use up a lynch for a known innocent?

Although I think the reveal is a bit too early, it's not bad. Considering the anomalous deaths of the previous diurnal cycle, it would be useful to know what the other side knows--provided her Lover survives in time for her to return.

Kuru-sama, were there any gender biases on the Lovers, or were they chosen purely at random? Maybe the Wolves just go after *gulp* males if even if we lynched her.

I really hope our esteemed mod won’t answer that.

So, I don’t think we have any excuse to give up hunting for the Day. I’d like opinions on people. Starting with Nilp here. Why ask what he just asked?

Mithalwen · 06-06-2015, 02:59 AM

Oblique poetry just as I was beginning to enjoy the lack of philosophy. Worth a lynch vote alone. Agree would be an odd fake reveal for a wolf but this is an odd game.

The itch thing is puzzling me to. The only itch in Tolkien I can think off is Sam anyway suffering in the Midgewater marshes but that doesn't really help.Suppose better trawl through in the light of recent events. ...

Mith my love, I'd mentioned (yesterDay) Pippin's itchy palms (Gandalf's words) which led him to look into the Palantir. Which might be a bit more helpful...

Mithalwen · 06-06-2015, 03:22 AM

It might but that would hint at the seer more than KnownUnknown. And if Legate were the Seer then why is someone scratching this morning.. did someone shave a dwarf?

I think I like you.

Also, the punchline will have to wait.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-06-2015, 05:56 AM

Also, I keep forgetting the most important thing about this stupid (and incredible) game:

Even if the Wolves kill the other Lover, they wouldn't know it unless Sally gets killed as well and doesn't return.

(Of course, another reason Sally wouldn't have returned from the Dead in such a case would be if she were indeed bluffing.)
