End of Day 1
The votes were cast, they were counted carefully - and they had decided to end the life of their town layabout, Inziladun.
"You never pull your own weight around here anyway!" they shouted. "But...that's all that I pull," he said. "Well, that and the pile of mushrooms down on the leftovers of that tasty......oops." To their horror, he covered his gaffe by covering himself in fur. And teeth. And claws. The latter items were only in the appropriate places, however. "Too easy!" he growled. "And now no-one can stop me! Hahahahaha!" Unfortunately for him, no-one did - they all did. The fight was fearsome, and the furry flurry only ended when they beat him to death with whatever was laying handiest - you guessed it, mushrooms. "And he was such a fun guy," they lamented. ------------------------ Dead: Oddwen - A Visitor, beheaded and hidden under mushrooms. Inziladun - Town Layabout, Werewolf Living: Eomer of the Rohirrim - Tavern-keep A Little Green - Mad Gardener and Cat/Goat Lady Thinlomien- The Housewife satanisaloser2005 - Town Bard Legate of Amon Lanc -Town Drunk Kath - A Farmer, trying their hand at a new potentially lucrative crop: mushrooms! Shasta - A Baker of Bread (and only Bread) Rikae - A Candlestick Maker (but not a maker of candles) Nerwen - A Soup Artist who is Souper at their job aganzir - The Butcher It is now Night. Wolves may PM.

It seemed slightly brighter that morning, probably because they all slept later than the previous day. Who knew killing monsters was so relaxing? Although Aganzir had clearly been up earlier than them all, leaving her customary wrapped parcels of meat at each doorstep........oh dear.
This had probably not been Aganzir's doing after all. It is difficult to chop yourself into pieces and then wrap them neatly, after all. And she had always been careful to save the blood, but this job...ew. What a mess. Everywhere. As they buried their butcher piecemeal, Sally mournfully played a song: She'll stay forever this way She is here in this grave and this blood will go on and on... ------------------ Dead: Oddwen - A Visitor, beheaded and hidden under mushrooms.

First things first– sorry for disappearing yesterDay. However, it seems that the village managed to do quite well without my help…
![]() And once again the Rule of Three proves itself, Inzilawolf being the third person to post. Meanwhile the first two (Aganzordo and Eomer of the Unknown) both made joking accusations of Zil. Very curious.

As for why Aganzir was killed– well, in a game with no gifteds it’s likely enough to have been semi-random. However, in her third post she mentions the possibility of there being a “secret rôle”– could that have attracted wolfish attention? Though of course if she’d really had such a rôle, you’d think she’d be a bit more circumspect about it.
EDIT:x’d with Lommy.

For that matter. I am still somewhat concerned about Lommy - she could have also killed Agan because Agan looked innocent this game and she would think it was not such a good idea to keep her around as a generally considered innocent Agan would be no good for the WWs. What speaks in her favor was that her vote, which could easily have been against Eomer in order to better protect Zil, was instead for me, thus spreading it. But then, she could count on Zil voting to save himself; and also, voting Eomer for no good reason would only have drawn suspicion. Speaking of that, Eomer himself also seems sorta fishy to me. His vote yesterDay especially looked like a kind of sidestep. Imagine: if he and Inzil are packmates, then what he could have done at that point was either vote to save Zil, or cast a vote for someone else, which is what he did. But on second thought, there wouldn't be that much for him to lose if he actually had voted to save Zil. I mean, we wouldn't know he was a Wolf. Of course, unless somebody still voted and swung the vote. For which, in fact, looking at the timestamps, there was basically two hours time. Fair enough. Keeping an eye on Eomer, in any case. Hm, also just realised that if Eomer and Lommy both were Wolves, then of course Lommy would not like to vote for Eomer, simply because then it would have come between two Wolves... now that would be fun if it was that way. But anyway... that's it from me for now, I guess. Hope to see more people posting, and to get something out of toDay, preferrably another Wolf.

Writing shortly on my phone -
1) this will be a difficult day for me bc I'll only come home late and have to go to sleep at some semi sensible hour but I'll do my best to be around 2) this is the first post today ??? 3) Agan? So the time we don't argue she dies early? Unfair. I can't think of much except that she voted Inzil if I recall correctly.4) speaking of Inzil, good riddance. I am really happy you late-night crowd followed my suggestion to vote well. Edit: xed

One wolf in the bag, two to go!
I had a look at yesterDay's voting. Known wolf underlined, known ordo italicised.Kath → Eomer Quote:
Greenie → Inzil Quote:
Quote:
Agan → Inzil (2) (No need to quote her reasoning for the vote, as she was innocent and he was a wolf - incidentally, why is it that the one time we're not at each other's throats, she dies on Night 2? )Legate → Inzil (3) Quote:
Quote:
Inzil → Legate (2) Quote:
Eomer → Kath Quote:
Another thing that caught my eye about the voting was that, in a village of 11, three (Nerwen, Sally, and Shasta) did not vote. This is really quite a catastrophic percentage. Nerwen isn't a surprise. Sally posts a long IC post that must have taken some time to compose so she was certainly around, but did not vote. Why, Sallykins? As for Shasta, are we sure he's aware the game has started? EDIT: x-ed with dear Legzy <3

So we can only discuss about half the village as far as yesterday's votes go.

Inzil didn't leave much to go on, but he did cast the suspicion right back at Legate in a fairly clear suggestion to get other villagers to vote Legate instead of him. This at a point when he was justified in believing there were more votes to come. Unless they began the game with the intention to do wolf-on-wolf voting - which would seem needless to me - I'm tempted to take Legate as innocent.
Same goes for Green for her vote. It's not that I discount wolf-on-wolf entirely, but I suspect that this game's pack would have fancied their chances at a clean sweep with no seer around.

Everyone, Day One
#4. Eomer. Banter. Mock-accusations of Legate and Inzilawolf based on in-game rôles. #5. Aganzir (known innocent). Banter. #6. Aganzir. Comments on general quietness; thinks the odds against the village are “rather bleak”. #7. Quote:
Comment: Very chummy, these two. If Agan's rôle were unknown, I might be tempted to see them as potential pack mates. As it is, though… two innocents sounding each other out? Wolf buddying up to an innocent? I wonder. #13. Quote:
#14. Rikae. Counters Agan's pessimism by pointing out that the odds of lynching a wolf are good; anticipates "a game based on reasoning and analysis instead of gifted strategy”; makes mock-accusation of Agan based on in-game rôle. #15. Eomer makes joking, or semi-joking, accusation of the other three, based on Rule of Three type reasoning– since"wolves, more than ordos, would be hyped for the game and unable to refrain from posting ASAP, I guess I've already got my three wolves in the bag”. #16. Lommy agrees with Agan that the odds are poor; says there may be a secret rôle or twist but that it should not be counted on and that, "Rather, we should just keep our wits around and try or best and if we lose, pull the "the odds were against us from the start” card”. Will be voting early; laments lack of posting. Comments Back and forth between Greenie and Legate (#17 - #24). #17. Legate agrees with both camps regarding the odds– i.e. it is generally bad but also the village has a high chance of hitting a wolf by chance. Wants to make the votes “orderly”: "try to avoid spreading them out, so the WWs are actually forced to vote to save their lynchmates... that is, if their lynchmates are among the candidates in the first place”. #18. Quote:
Legate clarifies that he means “their pack mates who are about to be lynched”; believes wolves will have more need to save their packmates than in a larger village. #20. Greenie will vote early; is tempted to vote for a “no-show” but thinks it wouldn’t be fair. #21. Greenie queries Legate's reasoning at #19. #22. Legate agrees but says he was trying “to present the other side”: the wolves are in danger because "there is no infinite crowd of random no-posters to hide in". #23. Kath votes Eomer, stressing that it is a throwaway: "in the interests of trying to make this as fair as a useless vote can be, I'm picking the first person who posted.” This is the first vote of the Day. Tally Kath —> Eomer. Comment: Odd and seems rather forced– could she really not find *any* reason, at that point? This post is, however, marked as having crossed with “everyone” since 7 pm. #24. Greenie accepts Legate's point, but suggests that the wolves themselves might be “the infinite crowd of no-posters. #25. Greenie calls Kath's vote “the easiest vote you could possibly cast”. #26. Rikae dislikes Legate's suggestion at #19: "In a village this small, trying not to spread out the votes very nearly translates to "lynch the first person who gets a vote", and of course, wolves can vote early with confidence that it isn't someone on their own side, and we can’t.” Urges everyone to talk more. #27. Quote:
#28. Quote:
Tally Kath —> Eomer Greenie —> Zil (wolf). #29. Legate defends Kath's vote since “there isn’t much to cast, anyway”. Rambles about pros vs cons of voting for no-posters; finds it rather suspicious that Kath votes at all on Day One. #30. Quote:
"Yes, what I meant was something like that ideal state is having like two candidates, not more. (Although looking at the votes cast so far, I am not very happy about that. So maybe it will just naturally gravitate towards "let's see what the first Day brings us". But I hope future Days will have some field rather in the sense of having as few major choices as possible; well, they'd better, anyway.)” Agrees that more talk is needed; finds Lommy's suspicion list “too nice”. #32. Lommy is also critical of Legate's voting plan as “'I feel like that's giving the wolves a free pass à la "look puppies, here's the menu toDay, which one would you like?’” Is considering voting me for my presumed non-vote. #33. Eomer also mentions my notorious Day One voting record, but thinks I would be in a good position because of the DL. #34. Inzilawolf mentions having power outages. #35. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Tally Kath —> Eomer Greenie —> Zil (wolf) Lommy —> Legate. #38. Quote:
Tally Kath —> Eomer Greenie —> Zil (wolf) Lommy —> Legate Agan (innocent) —> Zil (2). #40. Legate votes Inzilawolf for the same reason as Agan. Tally Kath —> Eomer Greenie —> Zil (wolf) Lommy —> Legate Agan (innocent) —> Zil (2) Legate —> Zil (3). #41. I tell Lommy she is terrible person for considering voting me. #42. Quote:

#48. Quote:
Tally Kath —> Eomer Greenie —> Zil (wolf) Lommy —> Legate Agan (innocent) —> Zil (2) Legate —> Zil (3) Zil —> Legate (2). #49. Eomer votes Kath Tally Kath —> Eomer Greenie —> Zil (wolf) Lommy —> Legate Agan (innocent) —> Zil (2) Legate —> Zil (3) Zil —> Legate (2). Eomer —> Kath. #50. Quote:
My connection went out while typing this and I couldn’t refresh, so I have undoubtedly crossed with many people. Just letting you all know.
