T-I-G WW LXXIV: War of the Wolves - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Loslote · 03-20-2010, 03:19 PM

"I'm bored. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm thirsty. I'm - "

"Annoying," growled the other wolf.

"I want to go home," whined the smaller wolf.

"Bradley," the older wolf groaned, "we can't go home. You know that."

Bradley pouted for a moment. Then: "But I'm bored. And tired. And hungry. And - "

"Well, we can do something about the hungry, can't we now?" The older wolf bared its teeth in a feral grin. "You stay here."

Bradley watched his older brother slip away into the Night. I can do anything Bartholomew can, he thought. Bradley trotted off in the opposite direction.

~~~

Over the course of that fateful Night, the lives of six villagers were forever changed, though they did not know it until the next Night. Under the faint glow of a cresent moon, they left their homes and joined their packmates in groups of three. They plotted all Night long:

~~~

"Why is it that everything happens under a full or cresent moon?"

"I know, right? New and half moons just aren't as creepy, for some reason."

"Well, at least it's not a full moon toNight. That would be so cliche."

~~~

"I think we should have a pack name."

"A what?"

"A pack name. You know, so the moddess can write narrations easier."

"Sucking up to the moddess, huh? I like it. So what should it be?"

"Team Werewolf?"

The others glared.

"Evidently not. Team Awesome?"

"Team Ladybug! ... what? They're the lions of the bug world."

"Fine. Team Ladybug it is."

"You know what would be funny? If another pack named itself Team Aphid."

"Don't be ridiculus. There are no other packs."

~~~

Meanwhile, the other pack was also naming itself.

"Team Aphid!"

"Smart. No one would expect it."

~~~

And so began the First Night.

Lottie and Hakon were sitting across from each other, a chess board between them. Hakon was staring at Lottie, who was gazing off into space.

"Are you going to go?" Hakon finally asked.

Lottie looked up, surprised. "I already did."

"What? Where?"

"I moved this thingi over here."

"Pawns can't go sideways."

"They can't? Dang. The horsies can, though, right?"

"No."

"Dang!" Lottie started at the board for a moment. "Okay, start over."

"Again?"

"I'm getting better! We got almost twelves moves that time."

Hakon buried his face in his hands. Over his head, Lottie saw a horrifying sight. Her eyes widened.

"Six of them," she whispered.

"What?" said one of the wolves. The others looked at each other.

"Gah! There are six of us!"

One of the wolves puffed itself up. "Well, we were here first, so you can go find someone else to kill. He's ours."

"Him?" another wolf said, snorting. "You can have him. We're after her."

"Oh. Well, that's okay then."

Lottie looked up at Hakon. "Let's just say you won."

Hakon nodded wordlessly.

~~~

Later that Night, the wolves split up. Before they headed home, the first pack said to the other,

"We are so gonna beat you guys."

"Oh, it's on!" the others said.

"Good Night," they said together, and went home cackling.

AAAGH! We're in big trouble, no mistake about it. OK, anybody wanna confess? Anybody? *shrugs*

To please the moddess, I wrote this song

:

You can't imagine so many wolves in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with evil wolves.

Some wolves in swimsuits, some wolves are swinging from a vine
Some wolves in jackboots, some wolves that wish they could be mine.
Starsky and Hutch wolves, a wolf who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch wolves, who send their love from Amsterdam.

Another postcard with evil wolves
And every one is addressed to me.

Some wolves in hard hats, wolves a-working on a chain gang
Some wolves who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang
A birthday-wishing wolf, a wolf in black like a goth
A goin' fishin' wolf, a British wolf in the bath.

Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
Another wolf in the mail could make me lose my mind
But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find

Some wolves in swimsuits
Some wolves in Jackboots
Some wolves in hard hats
Some wolves who love cats
I've got some shaved wolves; that's wolves devoid of any hair
I've got depraved wolves dressed up in women's underwear.

Another postcard with evil wolves
And every one is addressed to me.
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.

Off to bed now. I'm getting some blood tests done in the morning, but I may be able to hop on before then, after that I'll likely be rather weak and woosey, but I'll try my best.

Loslote · 03-21-2010, 07:39 PM

Good Wilmuffin.

EDIT: Good TEw, too. I love my minions. *snuggles all you song parodiers*

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-21-2010, 08:26 PM

Here and reading.

But there's nothing to read yet!

Shut up, Nilp. I know what I'm doing.

Suuuure you do.

Sigh. Just ignore him.

The Elf-warrior · 03-21-2010, 08:45 PM

Inziladun, I'd like to confess that I'm not a wolf. I've also got a song for you all.

Werewolves gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses.
Hairy snouts that plot destruction
Necromancer's best construction.
In the fields the bodies bleeding
Oh our lives are oh so fleeting!
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their werewolf minds
Oh Lord yeah!

Evil creatures hide themselves away
They only started the war.
Why do they go out to bite?
They're only doing their role.

Time will tell on their furry minds
Eating people just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes
Yeah!

Now in darkness wolves start eating
Bloodstains where the werewolves feasting.
No more werewolves have the power
Hand of Eru struck the hour
Day of judgment, Eru's calling
On their knees the werewolves crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Sauron laughing spreads his wings
Oh Lord Yeah!

I do not like how Legate connected himself to Nogrod in terms of Nog will come and lynch all of the Day One Jokers. I think in the meta-game sense, about eighteen posts of first Day joking is on the small side, when it could and has easily turned into two pages.

Morsul. If Wilwa is suspicious, then you would be half-right, that I would build a case against her. Though it would not be a case in the sense of 'Here is my case against her, read it and vote for her if you agree'. It would be more 'here are reasons why I am suspicious of Wilwa, and this is why I am voting for her'. But I would not, nor was I planning on.. setting her up for a lynch. It was a joke in reference to the last game.

That would be handy to know if the Wolves were pack specified when they perished.

Wilwa's comment about decreasing one pack would help the other pack - it came off as a touch sad. As if we focused on decreasing one pack (her pack). it would help the other pack, which she does not want.

Quote:

Plus if we're not told their packs when they die then it's not like we could try to plan that out anyway.

Plan out lynchings?

I think we should still be going after wolves regardless of what pack they may be on, because we do not know their specific packs. Yes, connections between players may be a bit more iffy than usual, but a wolf is still a wolf.

Legate. The last game, Nerwen joked about being evil on the First Day... and lasted the entire game, even though there were people whom suspected her because of her 'Go Wolves!' "joke" post. Wilwa was her wolf partner. Hence my post referencing it.

I really do not understand the statement that 'there has been too much joking around, even for Day one.' There were perhaps eighteen posts of joking, and as mentioned at the top of this post... I think that is on the small scale considering meta-game. Even if every player had only one 'joke post', that would still be fourteen! So I fail to see this 'issue'.

I took the Unicorns to mean, that if they died gifted and were chosen to re-enter the game, they would enter as an ordo. But if they died as an ordo - then they re-entered gifted.

Getting rid of one pack, also makes the village's life easier, by a tad. It is hard to predict what exactly will happen, as it is not just numerics and statistics. We all have free thought and to an extent free choice in our decisions. Which greatly influence how the game goes - as none of us are completely immune to being influenced by the words and actions of others. I think that the more variables added to a situation, the higher probability of chaos to occur. So my point in all of this, is that it sounds like your sentiments regarding getting rid of one wolf pack over the other, would in turn help one - comes off as too emotionally involved if that makes sense Wilwa. You make it sound like we will hit wolves easily, and all from the same pack. It could be that when/if pack A goes, there is one left of pack B. We are guaranteed very little in this game. Only that a lot of players will perish, and the game will end eventually, with a winner.

Sally are you really purposefully trying to discredit the village-Seer so early?

X'd with Sally and Shasta.

Gah, I'd made a post to/about Pitch just now and it's been eaten. Back in five.
