Tol-in-Guarhoth CIX - Ten Year Anniversary Game: Dead Thread

[Aganzir]

Again, Nilp was among the first to start talking about a communication plan. However, all he gave was an idea - nothing about the details of carrying it out. It was similar yesterday and it took Firefoot to get it going (why are you dead dear?). I'm wondering if he's trying to appear helpful without committing, or if taking control and making decisions just doesn't come naturally to him.

This makes me giggle.

I devoted much of my available time coming up with elaborates plots to get Wolves-senpai to notice us (including a 'counter'-revelation, a fake Ranger reveal, plotting how to kill everyone and make it a true Lover victory, etc.) as well as wondering why there are two 'special' roles (Is Boro a Wolf? Is Nerwen one? Why does the tablecloth have red stripes?) That's my excuse.

So anyway, Sally did the revealing while I did the dying. Basically we wasted this DAY's lynch on a non-Wolf. (Too bad the self-vote empowerment thing didn't work, but hey, assuming she's not Dead in 72 hours, I can take any information you might have with me.)

EDIT: Crossed with Agan. Hi! o/ Still awake?

Sitting in the metro (um phone what the hell why are you suggesting Manila as my next word?) drinking an energy drink. I regret nothing.

I can't believe phantom was right about the clue in sally's first post.

[Aganzir]

Granted I started to believe it too half an hour ago when you didn't actually die in the narration.

If/when you go back to the living thread, can you YELL AT THEM NOT TO EVER LEAVE THE VOTE PLAN SO LATE!?!!!!!

Apologies for that. I'd thought of doing the detailed plans myself (I swear) but my democratic upbringing is urging me to leave it up for discussion. I forgot how easy it is to ignore me when I'm being sane. （　´_ゝ`）

[the phantom]

Well, well, this just teaches me to generally trust first impressions, right?

I never thought you looked particularly guilty, but when you continued not to reveal minute after minute I really began to doubt you were the other Lover, because I couldn't figure why a Lover would allow himself to die (as opposed to at least taking a shot at a Wolf). The back-from-dead thing is merely a perk in case Lovers are night killed- the true power of Lovers is the fact that they can prove one another and thus are the same as having two additional Seer-dreamed innocents removed from the possible lynching suspects. But anyway, we still should be able to win this.

If there's still two packs alive let's see how Nilp would return from the Dead-
(1) Both packs go for Nerwen tonight, are foiled by the Ranger, and return for her the following night.
(2) The packs go for Nerwen & Boro, one of them is foiled by the Ranger, the last of one of the packs is lynched tomorrow, and the other pack re-attempts the kill the following night.

I would've put an option for Sally being the kill tonight and the Ranger stopping it, but seriously, how can the WWs not try and kill Nerwen? One more double-dream and the WWs will be as good as dead. So yeah, at this stage maybe Nilp will get to return to the Living because his partner isn't a priority target. But he'll have to wait another day-night cycle and it's possible the game will be over by then depending on what happens with the lynch, the night-kills, and the assassin role.

I was going to suggest we empower Lottie when I saw Lommy's list but apparently forgot about it.

Good planning. Especially if the seer will be dead.

And we weren't sleepy at all when the living wasted hours changing lists.

[Loslote]

Of course, it's likely the Ranger foiled a kill last Night - presumably for either Nerwen or Sally - and that pack would know a) that this is their window to finish that person off, and b) that in the case that the person they tried to kill was Sally, the Ranger would almost certainly be protecting Nerwen. The other pack, not knowing this, must of course go for Nerwen in this situation. If, on the other hand, the save last Night was Nerwen, I'm sure we'll have both packs pile onto her toNight. So I think we can probably assume that either Sally or Nerwen will die toNight.

I hated not knowing stuff. And I was curious about the Dead thread. For all we (the living) know, all Gifteds could be dead and the Seer has more information than they could send--and there could even be bonus vote information transfer mishaps, like toDAY's. (And yeah, knowing that I have a way of getting information from the Dead also contributed to my not being as thorough with the list plan thingy as I could have.)

Now that I think about it realised that I could have just revealed myself and then hoped the Ranger could protect one of us. Then again, I didn't know if the Ranger's still alive. So yeah, it all come down to how I hated not knowing anything.</notJonSnow>

So anyway, who are we uncloaking (heh) toNIGHT?

Really though, the narration implied you didn't die. Looking at you and sally, I don't think it will be difficult for the wolves to figure out you were her lover. I certainly hope the ranger will be there to protect her next night.

Anyway, choosing tonight's scry will now be easier for us as we don't need to worry about yesterday's lynch. I'm also inclined to think Lalaith is a good plan.

[the phantom]

I suppose the Village will be terribly curious and assume we'll scry Nilp?

Problem is they have too many unknowns, more than they can give us voting options for (Nog, Rune, Rikae, Lalaith, Nilp). So they'll have to cut at least someone- maybe two. Since it's been so long I would guess they'd cut Rune from the list first, particularly as his identity means so little in terms of voting & suspicion. So I'd say he's entirely off the table.

Nilp is off the table for us, but maybe not for them (depending on what happens tomorrow/tonight etc.).

Mac and/or Lottie- do you think Lalaith is a competing Wolf and want to find out if your opponent lost a member during the night?

Well, we did have history. The first thing we told each other after Kuru told us our roles was that it's destiny.

I'd not recommend Manila right now. It gets to 40 here (that's 104 for the Americans.) It is melting me.

Anyway, for what it's worth, this was the punchline of me asking about the Lovers' gender composition. Kinda lame, isn't it?

Well... Whoever it was, sally could probably have said it was destiny.

[A Little Green]

The Dead

Unknown:
Nogrod
Rune Son of Bjarne
Rikae
Lalaith

Wolves:
Loslote
Macalaure

Innocents (?):
the phantom (hinted at by Nerwen)
Firefoot (likewise)
Nilpaurion Felagund (self-proclaimed Lover, I guess we'll find out soon enough)
Aganzir (probable Hunter)
A Little Green (Prey)
Legate of Amon Lanc (Prey)


The Living

Possibly have a role:
satansaloser2005 (self-proclaimed Lover)
Boromir88 (self-proclaimed Itch-Man)
Nerwen (self-proclaimed PM-receiver/psychic/something?)

Confused about these three (some of the villagers seemed to think Nerwen had cleared them or at least asked not to vote for them, but I read Nerwen's post about them as personal opinion rather than relayed information):
Thinlómien
Eomer of the Rohirrim
Shastanis Althreduin

Other living things:
Formendacil
McCaber
mormegil
Mithalwen
Kath


Am I up to date with this? I skimmed more than read parts of both threads so I might be missing something.


EDIT: x-ed with Lottie

[Nogrod]

Greenie: Looks pretty much as it stands. With the reservation on the three some people thought were "cleared". I'm just trying to understand that thing myself as well...
