The Dead

Boro (Town Recorder) - murdered by pack Night 1
Huinesoron (Villager) - lynched Day 1
Loslote (Villager) - killed by pack Night 2
Nogrod (Villager) - Lynched Day 2
Blind Guardian (Villager) - killed by pack Night 3
Formendacil (Villager) - lynched Day 3

Welcome Formendacil!

Take comfort the dead believed you...erm for the most part! It wasn't fully out of spite and anger towards the lynch mob.

And seriously HOW IS THIS HAPPENING IN MY VILLAGE AGAIN!

I TRY TO DESIGN A GAME THAT DOESN'T TURN INTO A BATTLE OF WOLVES VS. GIFTEDS AND THIS IS WHAT I GET

/Rant.

Well not so much a rant or anger, I just seriously can't believe after that 2011 Lake Town game...the exact same thing is happening.

It's no ordinary Lady Fortuna -stuff, it's the Fates, like in the Ancient Greece!

Btw. the narration kind of did us a favour - and there's the other side of the coin as well.

By stressing the uneasiness we had here, Boro gave the impression that we empowered Form because of him getting into the gallows (which is partly true, of course). So if the wolves have not suspected Greenie of seership (and she is the one), then we have nicely ducked any connection to Greenie with our vote-empowerment and thus gave the wolves no aid in discovering that.

The downside then of course is, that the villagers also think like that and pay no attention to the fact that we were actually and actively trying to get Legate lynched - and that they probably should do that.

They need to look at who was pushing Form all Day yesterDay, and that should lead them back to our suspected pack. Here's hoping there's a villager left who can figure it out.

Cheers for that!

And congrats for getting it right!

You know, miracles can still happen?

Okay. It's coming 1.30AM here, so I'll get to sleep now.

See you during the Night.

I'm catching up on the Dead Thread backlog (and I've never really been part of one) and, while it is somewhat irrelevant, I want to go on record saying how NICE it is to have WW where you aren't suspicious and/or faking it. This is such a happy place to be.

Blind Guardian · 06-09-2020, 04:30 PM

I agree, Form. I'd like to vote that we have a Dead Thread every game, even if the Dead play no role. Just to chat.

Indeed! I don't know how to describe it...

But after Cobbler-G55 and Rikae went after eachother in Nog's game. They were the first 2 dead players in here and proceeded to amicably work together, even being on different sides.

I mean granted so far this is just dead villagers, but it is a uniting force you don't get as a "live" player. And just my luck these are the only games I'm immortal in and never die
