I'm afraid so. Probably too late.

Stop posting. Greenie is first to reach vote count and is therefore lynched. Narration to be posted in a few minutes.

All of you commenting on possible cobblers - did you forget there's a cobbler in the game?

By 456 of the First Age, Barahir was the champion of a feisty band of outlaws. They had seen betrayal by their own kinsmen, had been hunted like animals by the evil forces of Morgoth, and now had finally (he hoped) found peace at the edges of the Tarn Aeluin. The crisp mountain air and clear blue sky were marred only by the thick black clouds that hung over the nearby mountain range, a grim reminder of the evil that they fought against.

Barahir sighed and turned to his kinsfolk who had spent the day digging three graves and bickering endless amongst themselves.

“I like digging holes in gardens, not in graveyards,” a very tired Loslote said.

“Why are we digging three holes when there are only two bodies?” Morsul asked.

“Technically, Gorlim merely left…” Legate said.

“Someone must pay for this treachery!” Sally yelled. “Whomever killed my Gal is going to face judgement.” This was met with a uniform cheer of support.

“My friends and relatives,” Barahir began. “Today has indeed been sad. We lost two of our close friends and another has gone off and not returned. Must we make it even worse by killing one of our own on naught but vague suspicion?”

The outlaws looked around at each other. They nodded their heads and whispered amongst themselves.

“I believe we are all in agreement that someone must die,” Boro said.

“But who…?” Lottie asked.

“We have a 1/4th chance of killing a wolf”, said Morsul, ever optimistic.

“I feel that a blind 1/4 chance of getting a wolf may be a little optimistic though,” Soriman countered.

“Hui is giving me bad vibes and a headache,” Lommy said, pinching her temples. “Could someone do something suspicious already?!”

“Legate said something earlier about something that happened last year, but it didn’t happen as he said it did.” Pitch chimed in. “And I would know: I was there!”

"How about that Greenie ?" Legate asked.

"She's giving me bad vibes…" Hui agreed.

"I am innocent, I can assure you," Greenie countered.

"That's what a wolf would say!"

“Then we are mostly in agreement that this is the correct course of action? The two graves shall contain G55 and BG and the third will contain Greenie,” Barahir said.

“She has acted the most suspicious over the last Day!” Hui said.

"Then so it shall be!" Barahir declared.

The outlaws rounded up Greenie as she protested.

"You're making a mistake!" She yelled. "Those fiends have misled you!"

They carried her over to the third grave, where someone picked up an ax and shoved it deep into her chest. She bleed out quickly and collapsed into the grave. Dead and very, very human.

By the way, there is no cobbler in the game. This was just G55 cobbling from beyond the modsphere.

[Galadriel55]

Thus begins the second night of the end of the outlaws of Dorthorion. The werewolves had begun their quest of death and destruction on behalf of the Dark Lord Sauron. Their orders: to slaughter everyone in the camp. The outlaws went to sleep in their huts and tents, thinking that the walls weren’t sturdy enough. Wishing that they had added just a bit more reinforcements. Sleeping with a dagger under their pillow.

The three werewolves had gathered in a darkened corner of the camp and plotted quietly.

“We did well!” the smallest one said.

“So well! They killed one of their own!”

“The Master will be proud!” the largest and furriest wolf whispered proudly.

The werewolfs cackled wildly, but quietly.

“Now who shall we kill next?” the small one asked, clicking its sharp claws together expectantly.

They looked around at the randomly placed tents and huts. Some huts were in nicer repair than others, but most the tents didn’t stand up straight. One, Pitch’s most likely, was almost completely sideways, but somehow defying gravity and still standing.

“A seer would be nice.”

“But which one contains the sleeping seer?” the small one asked.

They sniffed the air, wagging their tails excitedly. “It smells like meat and it’s making me hungry!”

“Then let’s eat!” the big one said, lunging for the nearest tent.

The clawed and ripped at their prey so viciously the person was dead before the second blow. They dragged their prey over the wall, ripping limb from limb as they went. The rest of the outlaws barely had time to lift their heads from their pillows before the carnage was over. They picked up swords and went running towards the sounds of growls and grunts, but all that remained were blood splattered stones and tufts of hair.

++Formendacil’s sword hilt was gleaming in the faint lamp light, surrounded by wood, fabric, and blood.

As a reminder, Sally and Soriman are required to vote toDay. Sally, if you are having trouble catching up to the game for RL reasons, please let us know.

Awesome narration courtesy of BG.

...Interesting. May Form and Greenie be at peace and you be granted the wisdom to aid our band from beyond the grave.

First point, now that I think about it. I'm not going to listen to any plans from anyone who wants to try to direct the ghosts on what to do for us here. I won't be making any plans and I strenuously suggest no one else does either, but to each their own.

Secondly, going to have to see a lot more from sally and Soriman today.

Just a reminder this is against the rules.

The Living cannot give specific instructions to the Ghost, under punishment of Isildur's Curse: they shall be banned from both the Living and the Dead threads. They are allowed to ask the Ghost questions, and of course allowed to discuss the Ghost's statements.

To clarify the clarification though:

It is against the rules to give specific instructions to a haunting Ghost. There is no haunting toDay, no active Ghost.

Technically, there is no rule saying the Living can't tell the Dead how to vote, which is I think what Boro meant by directing the ghosts. You will not be kicked out into the Void for bossing the DT around, though you will probably earn some ghostly glares. Do not boss haunting Ghosts around on the GT when/if they do come, because that will bring Isildur's Curse upon your head.

I think I may have worded that incorrectly. I didn't mean "giving direction to the ghosts" (as in the person that is selected to return as a ghost) but "giving direction to the dead players on what person they should vote for today as a way of giving the living information." Those were the plans I meant, which I presumed were still ok...? Great if that isn't because I would ignore it anyway.

Edit: Crossed with Modler55, thank you. Yes.

So, Form dying throws a bit of a wrench in my initial thoughts. I figured if I survived the night I’d have some thoughts.

Obviously they voted Sally which for me is a predicament. I do think her initial post of “around but tired” then just a non commital “no vote vote no time” post. I find that frustrating and easily a wolffish submarine tactic. HOWEVER, the night kill obvious points at Sally which makes me think it’s too obvious it’s her and therefor not her. But also it could be a move set on making that argument and it IS her.

It could also just be a distraction with very little strategic value other than chaos.

I always go under the presumption the wolves target the Seer first, or who they think might be the Seer. If there are no leads to a Seer then the next option is other gifteds (it would just be the Ranger in this case). But the Ranger is difficult, because there's really no reason they would come out and leave any clues unless they had to reveal because possibility of getting lynched. So, after that, the priority becomes "no trail kill" or "make a false trace kill."

If they were going with the "no trail kill" and thus that's why Form was targeted that doesn't make much sense. Form was pretty wishy-washy in who he suspected, but he did leave a trail. If they were going "no trail" I would think sally or Soriman would have been the choice, because Form certainly did list people so he did leave a trail.

The question becomes is it a "false trail" like to try to get us to lynch sally as you have pointed out.

Before heading away for the "night" hopefully I'll get a Form-alysis and voting breakdown down from Day 1.

[Morsul the Dark]

Been about a half hour so I don’t feel too bad double posting. Of all the Greenie votes Lotties strikes the others chord she specifically says she’d rather vote Pitch or myself but then chooses between Huin and Greenie. Don’t get me wrong I get wanting to stay in the game but is this ordo wanting to keep playing or Wolf self preservation?

Also the toss up slightly puts Huin into a tiny bit of suspicion because could’ve been saving a pack mate. But would she put her neck that far out for a pack mate on day 1?
