We just might do it.

Loslote · 06-11-2020, 03:59 PM

Here we go. Mac, I really hope to see you soon.

Okay. This Sith Code just got out of hand...

Last FLIPPING second.

I take back anything nice I said about anyone Living in this game!

...though I'm struggling to think what that might have been.

Huinesoron · 06-11-2020, 04:04 PM

A Ranger save would be really nice toNight.

Also I could use a bigger straw to grasp at. This one's crumbling.

hS

Nogrod · 06-11-2020, 04:04 PM

Well... well, nothing to say right now.

But welcome Shasta anyway!

Read the Thread and see that some people at least valued your effort!

Loslote · 06-11-2020, 04:05 PM

We have one more Day. It'll be a race to get the votes, and the wolves can coordinate to all vote the same person at 4:00 on the dot, and hope the cobbler echos as quickly as possible.

Huinesoron · 06-11-2020, 04:07 PM

Hey, Shasta. I think you were the only Living villager to correctly put all the dots together, so well done! It very nearly worked. :-/

hS

Formendacil · 06-11-2020, 04:08 PM

I wish we could protest that Nilp's vote came in on the 10:00 GMT minute itself and is therefore disqualified, but that is a slender legalism indeed.

If you thinking of it as killing off his own team (and thus himself), that really was the Nilping to end all Nilping.

Boromir88 · 06-11-2020, 04:08 PM

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
A Little Green (Seer) - killed by pack Night 4
Legate of Amon Lanc (Werewolf) - caught in BH booby trap Night 4
Shastanis Althreduin (Villager) - Lynched Day 4

Welcome Shasta. Join your place among the Dead. I believe you will find comfort here.

Hey. I am just stating some general principles here.

But I guess we can agree on that nobody of us expected anything like this at all. Never. Anywhere.

Blind Guardian · 06-11-2020, 04:10 PM

This game is infuriating.

A Little Green · 06-11-2020, 04:10 PM

Shasta my love - hope reading through our live commentary of yelling at people to start listening to you will be some comfort.

I feel you.

So it's basically game over unless the Ranger makes a save and buys them one more Day? Otherwise it'll be 4/3 toMorrow, so unless the wolves accidentally Night-kill the Cobbler they can decide overNight who to lynch, pile on votes first thing toMorrow, Cobbler jumps on and we're done?

Sadly I think' on the dot counts' is in the main WW rules somewhere.

Welcome, Shasta.

Make yourself comfortable... and for you, but also for all you others (because I am going to sleep, myself), something to enjoy during my absence, and most of all, to wrap up toDay - Today. Very fitting, I daresay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edwnDIstQjo

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-11-2020, 04:12 PM

I am rather more unreasonably angry than I have any right to be at what is, at the end of the day, a game.

Blind Guardian · 06-11-2020, 04:12 PM

Boro Shasta is still counted amongst the living on the living thread.

Formendacil · 06-11-2020, 04:13 PM

Maybe we can hope that, somehow, the Cobbler (being a Villager, really) is just as obtuse as the Ordos?

Of course, that'd likely be balanced out by some unscheduled Cobbleresque play from an ACTUAL Ordo...

Basically it's like that.

And we were so close to have turned the tables!

On a totally different issue: kudos to Boro for the narration! Loved it.

Loslote · 06-11-2020, 04:16 PM

Well, if I'm right and Brinn is the Ranger, she has one more shot to redeem herself.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-11-2020, 04:16 PM

Bah. I keep deleting what I type. But honestly! Throwing away your vote when it's 5-4... I can't even.

If you look back into this thread, I think you will find a way to relate in this way to those who came before you

Chill out, listen to a song, get it off your chest... that's what Dead Thread is for.

(Apparently. Since even when they vote, it does not change the outcome

Sorry, dear Dead friends, I had to.)

The worst of it--and this thread has written evidence--is that your team over here considered a protest vote to be a real victory!

Nogrod · 06-11-2020, 04:19 PM

If we're right and Rikae is the Cobbler, the wolves most certainly have recognized their partner in crime and leave her in peace toNight.

So it's up to Brinn (or whoever the ranger is) to save the game.

Just thinking aloud... Could it be Pitch after all? It might explain his early jumpiness - and give a reason to his reasonableness of late?

*hugs* If it helps, I said somewhere earlier that there was a good reason I picked you for my first dream. You were incredible and it's their own fault they didn't listen to you. <3 (And seriously, there's several pages here of us cheering you on and yelling at pretty much everyone else.)

First time I can ever remember begging for someone to just be AWOL for a Day.

I think I'm going to need a stiff drink tonight to unwind.
