Mandos Thread: DEAD ONLY! - WW LXXXVI
Welcome to the halls of Mandos.
If you are alive, turn back now. Reading further constitutes cheating. If you are dead, scroll down. So, you're dead. Hey, it's not so bad. Dead players may read this entire thread (as well as continuing to read the main game thread) and may post here Day or Night. By Day, you may vote for a living player to be given a double vote in that Day's lynch. The living player chosen will not know that xe has this power. Every Night (beginning when there are at least 3 dead), you can vote for one dead player, and I will reveal whether that player is a wolf or not (cobblers and gifteds will show as simply "innocent"). Participation in the Mandos thread is optional. No modfire is awaiting anyone. Deadline is still 11 pm EST. Tied votes will now be decided by a coin toss. Seriously, if you aren't dead, stop reading now. Winning a game unfairly is no win at all. I know where you live. The Dead: *your name here* |

Cold are the Halls of the Dead, cold and empty, and of inconceivable vastness. In these years of peace, not many an Elf comes to this place, and the ones who have been here before have either left to walk the shores of the Undying Lands... or have grown quiet, and withdrawn. This was the place Rikae and Mac came to just one night ago, but they were now hiding, in shame over their inadequate guard, and would not talk to anyone*.
Now Mänwe came to stay in Mandos' halls as well, and the Vala spoke to him: "O Mänwe of the People of the Noldor. You, that you have once in foolishness turned your backs to the Powers of the West, her now my words. I know of the struggles that you and your party have been put to, and I vow to aid you in your hardship. Sad it has to be, and disheartening, to be lynched by your own kind, and to be suspected of such monstrosities. You, and those of your brethren that are sure to follow you, will be given might to affect the world of the living - a gift I have not yet awarded to any of your kind. Maybe, if one of you will move my heart, be it by valor or by love, will be given the opportunity to return to the living, but that will yet remain to be seen. "For now, rest, o Noldo, and let the weariness of life and travail leave your spirit. Soon the time will come for you again have influence on those who took your body from you so wrongfully." *~* Dead players Rikae and Mac - killed (and self-silenced) during Night1 - Mods Mänwe - lynched on Day1 Once at least three (proper) people are dead, you will be able to vote for one fellow dead player at Night and learn whether s/he is a wolf or not. Even though you don't have anything to do yet except to wait for Day and company, the thread is all yours! *(we were very tempted to let ourselves run free in the dead thread, but decided not to) Last edited by Macalaure; 01-26-2011 at 10:13 PM. |

Sup Mandos Got a spare chair..?
- oh come on Mac, Rikae I say let yourself run free...it'll only disturb those of the living and that's what "ghosts" do best!
Otherwise i'll have to set a record for the most consecutive posts or does Mandos have rules about that sort of thing here? N.B. Fools

If we post, though, how will we explain our total lack of knowledge? Only one of us is American, so that won't work.
As for rules, the only one I can think of is: all dead must make at least sixteen posts per Day and Night or be killed. |

Haha! I like that one.
As for you posting..doesn't have to be WW related to this current game does it? I mean..you both could still have a lot to say as dead useless guards.

I kind of saw this coming, to be honest, but I'm infuriated nonetheless.
Hi, Manwe. I'll be going back to the land of the living in a little bit, anything you care to tell me? Edit: Crossed with Rikae. Well, my vote is obvious, but I'm holding it for a moment - are these votes retractable at all, or not? I mean, I'll obviously be voting for Agan, but I'm a little confused on when I'll be going back and if her having the double vote is likely to get her killed by the wolves. Of course, if she reveals like she planned to then that should be obvious, in which case it won't matter, but still.

<- my dead cold hand
Ummm... hi I guess. What else am I supposed to say? Starting to read this thread now and I have to say it doesn't seem quite as mysterious from the insider's pow.
And this is most incosiderate, I was just loaded with an armada of votes on the living thread, now you're seeking to repeat that experience. How rude. This has to be the only ww-game ever where you get such double-bashings.

She's got pretty much all the points. Rikae, you're the Seer who dreamt of RHCC, aren't you!

Joining the majority...
I think I am going to take this personally - cellulite filled hindquarters? Expanded waistline? As well as being grotesque in death. Don't you know grief can make you comfort eat and Death is the ultimate sedentary lifestyle? Grr. WOuld go to bed and sulk if I weren't so curious. sniffs

Does anyone else find it alarming that the spambot posted "I know where you live"?

Uh-oh.
In a hurry but just a piece of information. Lottie is an ordinary innocent. Which means the wolves have been quite single-handedly steering the lynches the way they see fit. And if Legate and Wilwa just gave up the game... then I see little hope for the village right now as they would have to really bring their act together toDay. Unless one of the two is a wolf - which I doubt at the moment. WHat is this RHCC everyone talks about? A spam or something? Well nevermind.

Because Legate and Wilwa are not simply dead, but no longer playing, I've decided to reveal what their roles were (check the living narration).

We have known roles - Legate was a cobbler (got something right) and Wilwa a common or garden innocent. Bad news for the village is that they lost 3 non wolves in a night.

Sorry, but I'm now going to end this "I know you can't trust me on this issue, but maybe you could be so nice as to consider..." etc. stuff and will go straight into how this game is now. You can then think yourselves whether you consider it worthwhile or not. Up to you.
Residents of Mandos: Mänwe - ordinary innocent (N3 dream) Nogrod - the seer Blind Guardian - innocent whose role has been taken away Feanor of the Peredhil - ordo or cobbler Aganzir - Beren (also N1 dream) Shastanis Althreduin - Lúthien Thinlómien - ordo or cobbler Nessa Telrunya - ordinary innocent (N4 dream) Loslote - ordinary innocent (N5 dream) Mithalwen - unknown innocent In the living thread are still: Glirdan A Little Green elronds_daughter Nerwen satansaloser2005 the phantom - a cobbler (N2 dream) Boromir88 Anguirel So 8 players. 3 wolves (until either Wilwa or Legate were wolves) and at least one cobbler (tp). Unless Mith is the ranger, there are four innocents including the ranger and the hunter. Be that as it may, the most probable scenario seems to be there are 3 wolves + 1-2 cobblers (wilwa or Legate could have been cobblers but probably not wolves) vs. 3-4 goodies. Looking at how easily the wolves have handled the lynches thus far there is no reason to believe they'd fare any worse toDay with the remarkably smaller village where they are even able to take some risks toDay to meet their ends. In any case, they need only two non-wolves killed and they win, while the chances that the villagers manage to actively lynch one of them are slim indeed, in not just nonexistent. So in practise the thing that could grant us some added time is the hunter getting killed and taking one wolf down with her/him. Here: enter the cobblers who know their math. My prediction: the phantom will try to get lynched toDay to give the wolves a non-hunter to the gallows to make it safe for the wolves (and he'd love to get in here to spend even the last Night among us here - basically to brag; I presume ). And why not, if there is another cobbler, s/he might try the same... (whom, if identified correctly by the ranger would lead to the odd situation where the ranger's best bet would be to protect a cobbler...) A ranger-save could prolong the game with at least one Day as well. Although the wolves might drive for a double-lynch as well toDay. All in all, I'm not too optimistic about the general situation, but I am slightly optimistic that we can come up with decently believable chart of the roles down there among the living with the aid of which we could try to help the villagers with the lynch - if they can pull their act together that much as to get one wolf contending for the lynching for real. Without that there's no way we can help them now. EDIT: X'd with Rikae & Mith - So Legate was a cobbler! Good news for a change.

YesterDay's voting:
Ang -> Lottie Green -> Sally Nerwen -> Elron Sally -> Lottie 2 Lottie -> Wilwa Glirdan -> Ang NONWOLFMith -> Lottie 3 COBBLERtp -> Elron 2 Elron -> Boro ++ Ang -> Lottie 4 I'm somehow uneasy with Fea there.It may be I'm paranoid as she basically did well to prevent the double-lynch. But something still bugs me. The reason for it I can see though: with Fea's decision it is clear Elron, whom many of us suspected more or less, was saved. Also Fea's claim to do that to prevent a double-lynch 9 minutes before the DL when there were still 7 votes possibly coming looks a bit odd and casts a doubt on to her motives behind the move. This is what she said 9 minutes before the DL when changing her vote from Nerwen (voted Elron) to Anguirel (voted Lottie): Quote:
Fea - Nerwen --> ed Lommy - Greenie --> sally Agan - Nerwen --> ed Nog - Angu --> Lottie And Shasta hadn't voted. The probability that if he turned around to vote was high he'd gone with Agan in voting Nerwen as well (thus giving our extravote against Elron). With changing her vote Fea made it sure our extravote would not go against Elron. That scenario would then aptly explain her clear joy after the results came and her change of mind had actually prevented a double lynch (quite improbable at the time she changed her mind?): Quote:
I'm sorry Fea if you're not a cobbler, but I hope you see why I have come to these suspicions. On another note. I am a bit disappointed with how the lynching of Lottie in fact went. While reading it yesterday in a hurry it felt like there were things going on and that we might be able to read something from it - but it does look more confusing now... Well, we still have time to read and think.

Things are starting to happen?
What do you think of Ang's performance there?
Quote:
But then again, if Mith is not the ranger (which I was kind of hoping for for a few reasons we might discuss later) as she hasn't claimed to be it, then a ranger-Ang could have been the one protecting her, and thus his suggestion might be a trap for the wolves or cobblers to come forwards promoting it? Quote:
Quote:
Also, after hearing about Legate having been a cobbler he ponders whether that puts an end to my believability.But still feel the need to post once more to state this: Quote:
I can see Ang both ways but right now I'm more tempted to lean towards him being a crafty wolf. It's not a wide margin though and partly rests on my quite unfounded assumption that Elron could be a wolf, and that he's better in maths than that. What do you think?
