TIG CXVII: DEAD Thread: By the Waters of Tarn Aeluin

[Galadriel55]

The body fails, but the spirit will not rest. No, they will not go beyond the Circles of the World until they find peace – either in revenge, or in the knowledge that their cause is lost beyond all hope. And all know, hope dies last.

This is the Dead Thread.





Only read on if you are dead.





If you are alive, go back to the Living. The way is shut and the Dead keep it, or something.









IF YOU ARE ALIVE, STOP READING NOW.


SERIOUSLY, STOP.

If you are still reading, you have died in the game. My condolences to you. I hope that you will enjoy this thread as a means of yelling at the GT and doing some low-stress WW shenanigans.

During the Day, the Dead cast a collective vote for a living player. First person to get the max number of votes will have your vote. Remember, that in the event of a tie on the GT, the Dead Vote carries more weight and breaks the tie.

At Night, you may speculate over a piece of information to be delivered to you by the two mods, myself and BeiGei. You may also vote on sending a Ghost to haunt the Living the following Day. You can vote ++No Ghost if you do not wish to send one. Same vote tie rules apply as above.

Enjoy yourselves, O Restless Spirits! And remember: aure entuluva!

[Galadriel55]

The heather rustled, though there was no wind. A shadow passed though there were no clouds. A restless spirit was about, refusing even in death to forsake the land of Dorthonion.

A fell voice in the air was heard to speak, though no living soul could hear it: There was at least one wolf who got votes on Day 1.

Greenie, welcome to the Dead Thread! You may post as you wish. ToNight, the thread is all in your power. You may vote for yourself to come back as a Ghost on Day 2 if you so choose.

[A Little Green]

It's not really worth using one of our 3 Ghost appearances on me going back to troll the living, much as I'd love to. So no Ghost toMorrow.

I also won't spend all day talking to myself in here, but just for the record: I don't think I've ever been lynched on Day 1 before! I'm actually rather proud of myself.

[Blind Guardian]

You're not alone! We're dead too! We'll talk to you!

[Galadriel55]

"Get your filthy paws off me!" Form yelled at the vicious wolves. "Take that! And that!" He looked about in confusion as his blows landed completely harmlessly on the wolves' hides, not preventing them in the slightest from continuing to tear apart his dead body.

It is now Day 2.

Greenie and Form, you may cast a collective vote that will contribute to the GT. This vote is due at the regular DL. In the event that it causes a tie, it will also break it in favour of your candidate. Since there are only two of you, the first person to get a vote here will receive the Dead vote on the GT, which will be tallied at DL regardless of when you vote.

[Formendacil]

I feel rather vindicated.

Not sure I have any justification at all to feel vindicated, but it is sort of nice to be proven innocent AND not have to defend myself against suspicious Day 2-looking back all in one go.

Pity about that "no idea who the wolves are" yet thing. I am inclined to assume I was killed because I left no trail rather than because I looked like a Seer...

Or did I look like a Seer?

[Galadriel55]

[Huinesoron]

I can probably be around pretty close to Deadline, so I'm available for tie-breaking duty. I'm shocked we haven't had anything more Seerish than ShadowBoro - has the Seer not done the maths, or do they think the Sally vote is a good one? Or... some other reason?

Still, looks like Form's having fun.

Now Pitch is trying to paint Sally as claiming Seer, which again we Dead know can't be true, but I also can't see how Sally could be construed as claiming it.

It's possible Boro was trying to look Seerish to attract wolf attention, but, like... on this day? Risking a Seer vs. Ordo claim-off? I don't think it too likely.

[Loslote]

I do think that if Morsul and Sally are both innocent, then the wolves would have already started piling on that vote...although they still have the Dead vote to deal with, too. So I'm guessing either Sally is our wolf, or Morsul's vote is a wolf feeling out to see if any innocents are willing to bite. I suspect Sally and Soriman are packmates, and I like the theory that Lommy might be the third. I'd be happy to vote Sally for the Dead Thread vote, but it would be much better if we could wait to see what the Living do before casting our votes.

[Huinesoron]

Soriman - when you eventually read this, a note in passing: saying things like "honestly I couldn't eat someone!" doesn't make you look innocent. In Werewolf on the Downs, in-character, role-playing type stuff generally only happens very early on Day One when there's nothing else to say. People will talk later on about possible wolves looking furry, or having fangs, but they won't try and present that sort of thing as evidence, which is how that line comes across.

(I was going to say something back on Day One, with your "we don't even know the werewolves will come back", but I think I edited it out. Same thing, though.)

[Loslote]

Ahh, looks like Sally doesn't realize we *do* get special information.....

I just got back and was thinking the same! ShadowBoro is giving me a headache, Pitch is fishy, and Sally literally just listed both Morsul and Pitch under "wouldn't vote". I'm starting to wonder if our Cobbler of a moddess hasn't made literally everyone a wolf.

It's pretty late here and I have work early tomorrow morning, so I won't stay up much longer. I think it's safer if I again don't vote, just in case something dramatic happens after I'm gone. Barring a real or fake Seer reveal, I'm happy with us voting for any of Sally/Pitch/Morsul. I'd have said that given the choice I'd prefer Pitch, but you also made a very good point about Sally's being on the chopping block as a possible reason why the Seer hasn't revealed. Also she's definitely acting strange toDay.

So - I trust your judgement on which of the three we pick toDay. I think they all look like wolves anyway.

No. But I might have made half the village secret cobblers.

Now Sally is trying to lure the Seer out of hiding, and she either doesn't remember that we get tidbits of info from the mod, or is trying to downplay it. ??

I agree with everything here (except for the bit about Soriman - I have no read on them whatsoever). I do think that if Pitch isn't a wolf, Lommy fairly likely is. I'm off to bed now, but I trust you two can handle this

That would explain a lot.

So say we all! We'll try to do the right thing.

Or is trying to keep the players who haven't been around much from realising it?

Speaking of not around... how do you feel about Legate as our literally-missing Seer?

What?! I thought it was just me!

... last-ditch? Hasn't there been, er, one whole vote?

Has Pitch conjured a SallySeerClaim out of nowhere and then used it to argue a Sally Wolf?

[Galadriel55]

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught up in werewolf,
An escape from reality.
Open your eyes
Look out to the lake and see
They’re just poor outlaws, they need some sympathy,
Because they’re here to stay, they won’t go,
Through the high, through the low,
And the way the wind blows
That conveys the Dead vote to them,
To them.

Werewolves
Just killed the Seer,
Put a claw against her head, flicked a knife and now she’s dead.
Outlaw
Life has just begun,
But now they’ve gone and thrown your lives away.
Werewolves - oh no!
Your team may still win!
If Ghost’s not back and posting in the morrow
Carry on, catch the wolves - the only thing that matters…

Too soon Kath’s time has come
Sends shivers down the spine, serious calving all the time.
Hello, everybody -
She’s joining you!
She has left her life behind but brings you truth!
Werewolves - arrrrooooooo!
No one wants to die,
But none of you regret you’ve played at all…

She sees a little silhouetto of a man -
Who is it? Who is it? Did she dream of a werewolf?

- Barahirian Rhapsody

“If Sally is the Seer, I’ll eat my hat” -- The Actual Seer

[Galadriel55]

When a humble bard
Graced a ride along
With Lottie of Aeluin
Along came this song

From when the Ranger fought
A black-furred devil
His army of wolves
At his hooves did they revel

They came after me
With masterful deceit
Woke us from our sleep
And gnawed us with their teeth

While the devil’s claws
Minced our tender meat
And so cried the Ranger
She can’t be beat!

Toss a coin to your Ranger
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’ Valley of Plenty
Toss a coin to your Ranger
O’ Valley of Plenty

At the edge of the world
Fight the mighty pack
That bashes and breaks you
And makes you their snack

She thrust every warg
Deep into the dark
Of Sauron’s great tower
From whence they came

She fought with your pest
Got kicked in her chest
She's a friend of humanity
So give her the rest

That's my epic tale
Our Ranger is unveiled
She fought with the villains
Now pour her some ale

Toss a coin to your Ranger
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Ranger
A friend of humanity
Toss a coin to your Ranger
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Ranger
A friend of humanity
Toss a coin to your Ranger
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, a-oh
Toss a coin to your Ranger
A friend of humanity

- Toss a coin to your Ranger

“Please stop tossing coins at me,” --The Ranger.

Well, Hui looks like he's having fun--and he's got some excellent texts. Almost too excellent. To my mind, he's conveying the information extemely well.

Not that I necessarily want to make a tough job tougher, but... it might be worth considering for future iterations, if we want to keep upping the difficulty level, so as not to have "set texts," that a Ghost can only use a quote once per game--i.e. no repeating that extremely useful "Innocent" quote from UT.

A suggestion for the future--not now!

[satansaloser2005]

I woke up, saw Gal's posts, and thought I died and gone to heaven.

I'm here but probably not reading.

He's doing great! Also looks like I was right about Morsul immediately taking it upon himself to come up with a nickname for him
