Tol-in-Gaurhoth CXV: On the Borders of Mirkwood - Dead Thread

[Formendacil]

If Pitch pulls through (wow, I did not expect to say that when I was still aLive...), our vote would make four--so the wolves would need both an Innocent AND the Cobbler to break a tie (assuming of course that we're not so foolish to empower a later voter).

Nilp being MIA cuts both ways there...

He messaged me when the BD was down (that's how I knew to check) and said that he unfortunately really needed to get some sleep (it was after all like 2 am for him). He said he would set an alarm, but no promises of course.

Ugh.

Brain... whirling.

Yeah, didn't Brinn think Greenie dreamed Shasta innocent?

Ahhhh. Well, hopefully the alarm works.

[A Little Green]

No way is Mac innocent. He just listed Shasta as "bad" after saying earlier toDay that my list made Shasta look like a dreamed innocent. How are they not picking up on this?

Right?????

[Nogrod]

Brinn is stepping to the dark side... Rikae is there already.

So we need Nilp.

[Formendacil]

Well, I'm off to pick up supper, so I'll be dark 20-25 minutes, but I'll be back.

...not that I think we're going to need to reconsider Shasta as our voice, though it may end up futile, even so.

[Nogrod]

Actually. If the wolves pick - or are aided to pick - Shasta as their forerunner, we'd have all the reasons to empower him!

A new tradition: The Dead Thread empowers the one villagers wrongly lynch.

[Loslote]

I can't believe Brinn is buying this.

Gotta stay true to form.

I am very much loving every minute of this past hour. This is great

[Loslote]

If they kill Shasta/Sally toDay, whoever of Brinn and Rikae is innocent will (hopefully ) realize they're on the wrong side and swap over. Someone else probably dies toNight, leaving four evils and three innocents, plus a Medium vote. It'll be a race to vote.

I feel you.

The previous game was also hilarious from the Mod's POV. The only sad thing is that you can't actually share your laughs with anyone but need to hold them with you.

Is this the list they were expecting us to use? If so, and if Pitch does follow through and vote Mac, I think he might be our best shot. If not, I'm all for empowering Shasta and trusting them to figure out that Nilp isn't actually a wolf. Though probably shouldn't take that for granted in this game

[Loslote]

I don't think the news that Mac is a wolf will surprise anyone no matter what happens. Either he dies and is a wolf, or an innocent dies and everyone knows who the wolves are. At this point, I don't think we can pass them any information that they shouldn't already know.

Because there are several lists, it will be a matter of contention toMorrow anyway. So I'd just ignore it. The wolves will use any version of the list that suits their purposes whatever we do.

And Shasta's vote is also the earliest possible, if it comes to that being important.

[Loslote]

Pitch should make his vote official asap, and hope Nilp gets here. Otherwise, as soon as Brinn votes, the wolves + cobbler will slam on that vote within seconds and win the tiebreaker.

YESSSSSSSS well done Pitch!

[Nogrod]

It's suddenly oddly quiet in there. You can "hear" the brains working on overload in different parts of the planet.

The calm before the storm.

[Loslote]

YESSSSS A+ WORK Pitch!!!!

[Loslote]

Just waiting for Nilp now. Or for Brinn to see the light.

Fair enough on both counts. So empowering Shasta then?

[Loslote]

Imagine if Nilp shows up and insists Mac can't be a wolf because he didn't get Night killed that one time.

Greenie - Yes, I think we might as well make Shasta our Medium. He deserves it.

Probably yes.

If you need to go to sleep, I think you can go. But can you sleep at this situation?

Oh my God I can actually see that happening.

[Loslote]

There's the Rikae vote. Interesting that our suspected cobbler starts it off.

Don't think so somehow

Oh dear [deleted expletives]! Don't even think that!

That is sooo possible!

Let's hope he believes more strongly to the Greenie-reading that Shasta is innocent.

Randomly? Lommy, pay attention!

EDIT: X'd, naturally.

[A Little Green]

Also it's kind of frustrating to be a dead Seer when no one actually pays any attention to what I said before I died

THANK GOODNESS. If Brinn and Rikae don't vote the same way, we won't need Nilp's vote after all. The wolves are going to try to convince her to vote Shasta, though.

[Formendacil]

Listen to that little voice, Brinn!

That's actually pretty sad.

Also for the Village's sake in general.

Go Brinn! Go! Trust your instincts!

“Anyway, it’s best not to think about them, as if you do it makes the discussions with the other lawyers, all their advice and all that they do manage to achieve, seem so unpleasant and useless, I had that experience myself, just wanted to throw everything away and lay at home in bed and hear nothing more about it. But that, of course, would be the stupidest thing you could do, and you wouldn’t be left in peace in bed for very long either.”
