T-I-G LXVII: The Rangers of the North - The Fell Winter

[Gwathagor]

Sheesh. This is a band-wagon or I've never seen one.

[Gwathagor]

I still don't understand why Nerwen is getting lynched apart from Nienna saying it should be so. Aargh this is driving me crazy.

[Kath]

Sorry Nienna, had to go and get some dinner. I don't know what I think of Nerwen, I'll go have a look through her posts now.

[Nogrod]

The 'Downs has been ominuosly slow at times the last hour...

So if for some reason the site is down at the DL and still is at +1 hours (then I need to get to sleep the absolute latest), we'll continue the Day with 12 hours eg. it will end at 10AM GMT tomorrow.

But if it comes back to life shortly after the DL has passed, we just add that one hour and the DL will be 11PM GMT.

Okay?

And anyway let's hope it stays up and running... and the DL could be what it is meant to be. *crosses fingers*

So just a precaution...

[satansaloser2005]

You want another option, Gwath? Fine.



++Lynch Gwath

I'm rather confused, mostly because I was at work later than I expected so I've only skimmed.


Oh, and....

++Kath for NG


I've always liked to be different.

(I'm at my mom's so I might disappear for a couple minutes because I just plopped down and jacked her husband's computer so he's not too happy. Hehe.)

[Nogrod]

Sally: to which position are you voting Kath, Captain or the NG?

Edited in. Sorry.

[satansaloser2005]

Where are you all?

[satansaloser2005]

*taps foot impatiently*

[Kath]

Nerwen:
Says the Captain role is a big risk and helps the wolves more than the innocents so need to watch those who ask for the role.
Confused by Fea’s getting rid of her retractions and Boro’s use of less than obscure quotes to ‘test’ people.
Then changes her mind in that maybe the wolves wouldn’t go for the captaincy.
Annoyed by Boro over the Fea and votes thing.
Questions Legate about his methods.
Votes Roa for captain, mentions that Rune would be a good choice but Roa has better leadership qualities. I’d say both of them are a little overbearing as leaders but hey, opinion. Protects me.
Defends Hakon against Roa.
Votes to lynch Boro for being over the top about Fea. Other choice would be Hakon but still doesn’t want to lynch him.
From Roa: Rune, Valier, Lottie and Boro seem to have something going on. Well we know she was right about two of them already.
Comes to the conclusion that maybe the wolves actually would go for it given Rune’s role so maybe they were pushing hard, but only to the extent that it wouldn’t take them too far out of their comfort zones. Basically, the wolves will act how they would act as innocents, only with a view to getting one of them in as captain.
Notes that Valier voted for Loslote and was the only person to. We now know Valier was the cobbler so this could go either way, but given that it’s Day 1 there’s no reason that she’d be any more right or wrong.
Bit worried about Brinn.
Points out Mac was actually not a no trace kill and wonders why he wasn’t used to frame people.
Has changed her mind about the captain role seemingly, as she now wants to see the captain get more power. However, the captain in question was Legate who ended up pretty widely considered innocent, and we know now was.
Defends Legate.
Mentions suspicion of Valier and Loslote for being Rune voters.
Is seeing Nienna and sally as innocent due to the kill and makes them safe.
Suspicious of Fea.
Votes Lottie as wants to open another option.
Asks Valier why she’s suspicious of Roa for being against Rune.

Ach running out of time. Will post this and have a think.

[Kath]

Wait, I'm confused by Nog's post. Is Day ending in, er, 8 minutes? Or in an hour and 8 minutes?

[satansaloser2005]

Heck if I know, but I'd vote now just in case.

[Nogrod]

In six minutes if the 'Downs works... It was just a precaution as the site has been slowish lately...

[Nogrod]

Deadline... three minutes from now.

To avoid any misunderstandings.

I'm rather confused, mostly because I was at work later than I expected so I've only skimmed.

You're confused? I'M confused. Why are you voting for me now?

[Kath]

Right, okay then.

I'm fairly happy with having sally as captain so:

++SALLY for captain

I see little point in having Nienna as Night Guard if what she is hinting at is what she is hinting at. There actually seems little point in voting here though as she clearly is going to be Night Guard, there isn't another option.

I'll post this and have a think about my lynch vote. I would personally prefer to lynch Lottie, I find her more suspicious than anyone else. Probably then followed by Lommy given her emotional blackmailing earlier. I haven't decided about Nerwen - I found both suspicious and innocent seeming things in her posts.

Ok, point taken. Any reasons to back this up??? ANy evidence?

[Kath]

Well, Lottie won't happen so for the lynch:

++LOMMY

Really?

I personally think you'd make a much better captain, given the circumstances.

[Gwathagor]

++Thinlomien

++Kath for Captain

++Sally for Night-Guard

Process of elimination, really. Nerwen's probably (read, hopefully) evil too but I like to keep my options open. And you were whining.

*waits with baited breath, and hopes no one is attracted*

[Kath]

Gwath you need to bold that for it to count you know.

[satansaloser2005]

Gwath, bold!

--Gwath

++Lommie

[Nogrod]

Day 4 is over, stop posting!

Sally will be the Captain.

Nienna will be the NG.

EDIT.EDIT.EDIT.

= Needs tro do a recount after Sally's last change...

Narration and the roles will be in soon, hopefully...

[Nogrod]

The Brandywine Cabins were actually two Hunters’ Lodges, a curing-house and a sauna built initially by Breelander hunters going for a hunting trail as the flocks of elks and the moose used to be abundant at these areas. By time they were forgotten by the men of Bree, but the Rangers of the North remembered them well and took them to their own use.

They were built half into the ground so only the upper half of the ceilings were above the ground. The Rangers had landscaped them by pulling soil on top of them – and now after a century or so they were just mounds in the middle of a thicket of woods to any ignorant passer by.

But to the Rangers they were the oasis of the wilderland. They had storages of cured meat, dried bread and fruit, wine, dry wood for the fireplaces, first-aid supplies, clean clothes, tinderboxes, some weaponry, blankets… and real beds with mattresses – even if thin and rude.

The Rangers reached the cabins at early afternoon due to their early start. After heating up the cabins and the sauna they broke holes into the ice and washed themselves in the icy water of the Brandywine. After the bathing; fresh, clean and with a decent meal in their bellies they finally took the wine to the table of the larger cabin and started talking.

“Lottie and Sally have my full support, the werewolves must be among you others. Now explain…” Nienna proclaimed.

“I don't suspect Nienna or Sally” Loslote added nodding his head towards Nerwen. “You must be one, and then maybe Lommy and Gwath…”

“Not me, Lommy is!” Nerwen protested.

“Well, Lommy should not be a Captain anyway.” Sally said. “But I might like to be a Captain…”

“Sally should be the Captain” Nienna and Loslote echoed.

“Well now you’re either trusting innocents or then scheming wolves…” Lommy shook his head in despair.

“Look, Nienna. One of you is a wolf. In any ostensible category or group like this, it's never all innocents or all wolves. There's always one mixed in with the others” Gwath tried to reason.

“How can you trust them just like that… now just consider Nienna.” Kath added.

But they were voting for Nerwen to be lynched.

Loslote, Lommy and Nienna stood up and pulled their swords.

“It’s time Nerwen!” Loslote said.

“Give away your sword in peace.” Lommy added.

“Yeah. We’ll do it nice and clean if you co-operate.” Nienna said calmly.

"Just a minute! Let’s lynch Lommy instead, like Nerwen suggested?” Kath put in.

“Yeah, I have no reason but winning in mind I should say…” Gwath continued and stood up as well.

“Oooh! That is soo bold Gwath! I’ll take back my word. Let’s kill Lommy!” Sally cried and drove his sword through Lommy’s side. Kath and Nerwen struck simultaneously. Lommy fell down bleeding heavily.

“You fools…” He sighed… and died.

Nienna and Loslote looked at each other in growing anguish.

Nerwen grinned widely now. “So you little schemers… you thought you run away with this?”

Kath chuckled behind him and casually stabbed Nienna to death.

Sally realised his mistake and tried to reach the door only to feel Gwath’s hairy arms around him carrying him back to the center of the floor.

“Okay, I’ll handle this little sweetie myself” Nerwen said to Gwath and pointed at Loslote. “Unless you Kath wish to do it… You Gwath have your way with Sally...”


The game ends.

The wolves win!

I'll do some editing to the narration but feel free to discuss if you wish...

[satansaloser2005]

Wait. What?

[Roa_Aoife]

Lommy was innocent, Nerwen was a wolf. When you chose to kill Lommy, the wolves won.

And from now on, I lynch quiet players first.

[Inziladun]

Blah. Just goes to show that my appearance in a game is apparently bad news for the village, no matter what side I'm on. Innocents are 0-6 when I've played.
Anyway, I was out of it pretty early, but hats off to the wolves.

If one ever needed confirmation for that conviction, let this game serve as a reminder!

[satansaloser2005]

But....but....but....

*thinks each game needs a vote count person*

And for the record I was going to end up killing Nerwen. I thought about it on the way home and was like "No way, she's got to be a wolf".

*whimpers*

[Kath]

sally I could kiss you. I couldn't believe that switch to Lommy from Nerwen but I wasn't about to complain!

Woo wolves! And thank you Rune for your early sacrifice that kept us in the clear for so long.

[Roa_Aoife]

Wait, Nogrod didn't wait for you to break the tie?

[Nogrod]

Lynch:
Nerwen -> Lommy
Loslote -> Nerwen
Lommy -> Nerwen
Nienna -> Nerwen 3
Sally -> Gwath (cancelled)
Kath -> Lommy
Gwath -> Lommy
Sally -> Lommy 4

Wolf-voters bolded...

And the final-results bolded & underlined...

If you wanted to get Nerwen lynched, why didn't you vote for her Sally?

[Kath]

And from now on, I lynch quiet players first.

Ahem. Nerwen and Gwath had more posts than sally and if Rune had lived he would hardly have been quiet.

I didn't know it was tied or I wouldn't have. I was trying to get you Nightguarded so that Nienna could save Lottie and vice versa. *feels SO thick, and will now sit out of the next Werewolf game*

(I was hoping Lommie was a wolf, though, so I'll not lie about that. I wanted to kill Nerwen more because I was more sure of her guilt in the end.)

Heh. Again, keeping my options open. And I hardly had the chance to read up on things, which is my own fault. I thought they were both guilty so I was going to bring them to a tie and then....well, yeah. I'm dumb, I know. *hides*

By the way, Nienna, you rock.

[Gwathagor]

*refreshes Barrow-Downs for umpteenth time in past ten minutes*



Holy smokes that was a close one. Holy smokes. WW hasn't been that tense for me since my early early games.
