WWJ II: Welcome to Lower Tadfield. The Apocalypse has Now Begun.

[wilwarin538]

Nothing special, I'm afraid, just split down the middle and shuffled a few names because it is the first day. That's really what everyone is doing toDAY, except the seer on one person.

This confused me, probably cause of the way its worded. Did you mean that you put me on the suspect list for old time sake? Or did you meen something else.

I don't think Marc's comment about IMing is to supicious. I don't think she meant it that way. Or did she?


I agree about Glirdan, he seems to be trying to get himself thought as the seer. I think I real way to test him would be to not lynch him today. Then the wolves would most likely want to kill the suspected seer(unless they already have someone in mind), then if he isn't the one killed toNight then he could be a wolf, not wanting to kill himself. Just an idea, hope that didn't confuse you all.

It could amount in a bandwagon being built against some poor innocent who is quickly buried under by people who are too quick and eager to lay blame. I may be reading too much into this simple misuse of the word but on my re-read it of the thread it definitely stood out to me.


Holbytlass, your list was interesting indeed and now your vote for Glirdan is certainly intriguing. I understand your points and your logic is quite sound. It would be dangerous for the seer to be so obvious so early, but what if he is flying in the face of convention? Would you want to risk the seer so early on? I'm just thinking out loud here for all I know your suspicions could ring true.

As of right now I am wary of DEATH and my vote may rest there

[Glirdan]

Holby, Hobly, Holby. I said that Eonwe is innocent. Just a gut feeling, right? It's becasue of something in, so far, quite a few of the posts I've seen from Eonwe's which makes me believe so. I am not trying to pretend to be the Seer. I'm merely trying to point something out to people, without giving to much away and by the looks of it, at least one other person MIGHT have caught on.

And what about our two wandering folks from out of town? What about Rune and Sleepy? Notice how they turn up when the trouble starts? Coincidence? I think not.

My list of suspicions:

Bergil - not to certain of
Rune Son of Bjarne - high on the suspicions list
Wilwarin538 - she could just be a crazy person. Or she could be acting crazy to cover for her hairy little secret.
Glirdan - innocent
WaynetheGoblin - not sure of
Gurthang - I believe innocent, but not sure. Definetly keeping my eye on him
Sleepy Ranger - high on the suspicions list
Sotty - not sure
Tar-ancalime - not sure
Márcolië Lamen - not completely certain of guilty or innocence
Eonwe - innocent, yet still keeping an eye on. I could be wrong you know.
Holbytlass - not sure
Hiriel - not sure
THE Ka - not sure
Kitanna - not sure

As you see, I'm not sure of a whole lot of people. That's because I didn't have time to read carefully through the posts everyone made. Right now, I'll probably be voting for Rune, Sleepy or Wilwa.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Had I known occupation would play so high on peoples decisions I definately would have picked something else but perhaps people are just trying to back up a random post with evidence that isn't there. Anyway the first day does tend to be quite random and hopefully by the next we won't be falling to things such as occupations and actually going off something solid.

As for who I suspect I don't really want to make any solid statement yet but a few people have caught my eye but I can't know for sure. Expect my vote in another hour or so.

Well, I do not remember any of the dead beeing choked in cheese!


I realy can't see anything telling me who is innocent and who is not.

This is the people I have as "top" suspects at the moment (just a feeling)

Márcolië Lamen
Gurthang
tar-ancalime
(It does not meen that I will vote for one of them)

but there is still some people who has not even postet, this I do not like!
If they do not post, they do not help the village!

[Glirdan]

Just to let you know, most of that list is randomness and has no real back up proof behind it. Except for Eonwe. As I said, I trust Eonwe, but I could be wrong so I'm going to keep an eye on our friendly undertaker. Who knows, I could very well be wrong about my theory and Eonwe could be the opposite of what I think. I shall wait and see...

Another thing I just noticed while quickly scanning the posts. I'm now really confused at what to think of Sleepy. I'm going to leave him ve for the time being. I'll probably end up voting for Rune or Wilwa as I planned.

[Gurthang]

Reasons, Glirdan? I know it's day one, but you seem awfully sure of yourself.

Oh, and I also went back to check, and you posted your decision that Eonwe was innocent after she had posted only twice. One was nonsense, the other did not contain anything that caught my attention. Please, explain.

Oh, and Rune... same question.

Myself, I have some suspicions. I cannot say some of them, because I might be right and nail the Seer. So I'll not explain those. But here's what I think:

tar-ancalime - flip-floppy. Jumped on Eonwe for telling people to back up what they say. Might be early jitters. Worth watching.

Glirdan - has been accused of trying to send Seer hints. Hinting so drastically this early is not a great idea. Wouldn't want a dead Seer on Night 2. Might be a masquerading wolf, might be the Seer, or we might be reading too much into things. Watch.

DEATH, I think you missed which 'Us' Hiriel was referring to. True that us is the village, but I don't think anyone else in the village is an apocolyptic horse person. I think you missed the question because you jumped at the thought of it being a trick. Also watch.

Still no telling about a vote from me. Could still go anywhere, maybe randomly.

Note:
Make sure you read malkatoj's directions on voting in the first post. If it's not correct, it won't be counted!

[Kitanna]

That one little line makes me very weary of you, Glirdan. Only three (four with the seer) people in this game know who they can completely trust. I can see your defense now, "But I said I could be wrong!" But I find it strange you would trust someone so early on.

Now Glirdan, why are you voting for either Rune or Wilwa? I read and reread your posts, but I see nothing. I'm going to guess randomness based on occupation...but if that is the case how is it Sleepy managed to avoid your "might vote for" list. You mentioned him one time a around and then not at all the second. Any reason?

EDIT: Opps, I wanted to ask Rune the same question. Rune, you say it is just a feeling, but what gave you that feeling, may I ask...

I was using blame because of the lack of information in order to have concreate suspisions today. Once we have for information we should work off of that, but before that and getting started so that we can get that information I can currently see no easy way but blaming the deaths of our dear beloved mods upon them.

Your point against bandwagoning is good, but I think no matter how the person becomes the one in that position, it may happen. We need to make sure this doesn't happen.

Oh and everyone please don't take my occupation against me. DEATH or not I care about the village.


On Eonwe, it feels trust comes too soon in general, mainly just from the repition of one name as a probable innocent.

As my fellow villagers will vote, mine will also be random- mostly based off of amount of posting since we have no much else to go on and any suspisions I have now beyond those of living here I am keeping to be watched but not gone overboard with, because first day, and even more so on first game, jitters hit.

THIS IS DEATH SIGNING OFF
(insert hoof print here)-Binky and Master DEATH

[Bergil]

You all dissed me for studying them instead of math, but nohard feelings,I'll help you. the most common way of becoming a werewolf is to drink water from a wolf's pawprint (I read that the stories about being bitten originated in Hollywood, and wouldn't they have bitten abercrombie and malkatoj instead of killing them if it were so). Ghurthang, Sleepy Ranger, and Rune have travelled more and may have been lost in the forest, but this proves nothing. also, I've had strange feelings ever since I've came here, but I'd always put it down to flows of chii, or having met some of the people here in a previous life. I apologise for taking so long to speak,I was delayed. I will not vote just yet, as someone may say something (or perhaps said somthing in the hour it took me to type this. I was forced to leave halfway through)

Ah, the way things are, perhaps a freudian slip, perhaps not. We can't really know till her death.

A true seer would not fly in the face of convention with "I'm the seer" neon signs pointing to themselves, getting themselves killed on the second night by the wolves. That only happens when the seer has dreamt of a wolf and exposes themselves to get that wolf lynched.

As a wolf you would know he's innocent, but then maybe you're trying to set up a fellow wolf as an innocent in case you do get lynched. But I think Eonwe is just a pawn in your schemes.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Why I suspect people by Rune

Márcolië Lamen: I guess It was it's talk about wolves having harder too hide amongst silence people, I did not understand. Some of her posts has been of topic if you could say so, quite a good way to make your self noticed, but with out making your self look like a wolf.

Tar-ancalime: It was the faumus flip-flop

Gurthang: I cannot say, there is just something about youre post's that makes me vory. (you too I found was of topic)

(I know I don't have any good arguments, but it is day one and I do not like too just pick a person for no reason)

[Kitanna]

Rune, I'm just glad you gave a reason behind why. I know when I finally vote I will not have very sound reasons today either.

Anywho, I'd like to say this about DEATH's IMing comment. It is possible DEATH was talking to friends outside of the game and outside the Downs on AOL instant messager or some other messager service. I do not think we should hold that against DEATH.

[Márcolië Lamen]

Well to be completely truthful despite its lack of relavance, I will not deny the fact that who I was talking to is a member of the Downs, and is actually a werewolf player. But I was not talking about the game, seeing as DEATH can talk to the dead, but not get information from the mods on the identity of the wolves.

This I really don't understand that. Could DEATH please get a rewording?


Waybe and the Ka both really haven't posted. Well Wayne had his one liner saying it was sad they died (which is it).
Please talk you guys?

And I have to echo Kitanna on saying thanks for giving reasons for suspisions Rune its early on but it always is more helpful to have more information to sift through.

[Kitanna]

Well, glad you're honest.

So time is drawing on and I still have no clue who to vote for. I suspect a number of people above the rest, but I'm not entirely sure which one of them to vote for.

Glirdan and Tar both hold places on my list.

Glirdan~ Because of his strange posts regarding Eonwe. Now there's a chance he is a very bold seer, but his hints toward it are very bold and very dangerous. He could be a wolf leading off his scent and trying to throw it elsewhere. (piggybacking on an innocent...) Or he really could have a strong gut feeling.

tar-ancalime~ Not so much for her flip-flopping, but because she has said a few things that caught my attention and my suspicions. But I'm going to let flip-flopping and echoing of ideas slide today because she is new and it is DAY one. I am going back one more time to reread her posts.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Since I must leave now I will vote.

++Glirdan

For reasons stated above by others and because I really don't have a main suspect. Hopefully by the next day we'll have a more certain path to head in.

[Hiriel]

Herm. Back again. Things have progressed a little. It seems the main suspects right now are Tar and Glirdan, with Rune, Gurthang, Sleepy, Marcolie, and Wilwa's names also being thrown around. Herm.

Glirdan's certainty disturbs me. Could be he's gauging people's reactions to his vouchsafing of Eonwe, he is a very foolish Seer. As suspicious as I am of his certainty on this first and very uncertain day, I don't think he's a wolf. Calling attention to himself and another player (Dunno why Eonwe. I've seen nothing in his posts to damn or clear him) like this seems a very bald, foolish tactic for a wolf, who's main objective is to stay hidden so he can kill us all. It smacks more of a cobbler to me. As for his "seeing" hints, I doubt he's a seer, either. No sane seer could afford to be this blatant, even as a bluff. The wolves might buy it and kill him and then were would we all be? I'm very interested as to what happens to Glirdan tonight and tomorrow, and he's still very suspect, but he'll not get my vote.

Tar: I'm still a little suspicious of, because of his flip flopage. He's not posted in a while, either. Dunno, but I doubt I'll vote for him. I'd rather keep an eye on him for a while first.

Wilwa and Sleepy...My gut says they're innocent. I've seen nothing so far that would speak otherwise. I guess time will tell if my feelings are mistaken.

Rune: I like his sound reasoning. He made a very good point about Marcolie, which was something I felt but couldn't quite articulate. Still, I have gut feeling against him. I dunno. Maybe it was because I trusted him completely in WWJ I, and now this is a whole new ballgame. I don't know. He'll not get my vote, either, because my reasons aren't good ones.

Gurthang : Also has made some valid points. Not that wolves are beyond doing so. He's mostly echoed what other people have said, and expanded on that a little bit. Not a suspect of mine. Yet.

Marcolie: Some of what he said has struck me as odd. He didn't quite take on my joke about Who's Us, but got a little (only a little) defensive. The IM comment, I think, is benign. If he had said PM, I might think differently. Yet he's sill suspect. I agree with Rune about him being very present yet expanding on little. He might get my vote toDAY, less I see something in the next couple hours that screams wolf to me. It's mostly utter randomness, with a bit of unease thrown into the mix.

The only other suspect I'd add to the list is Holby, for pretty much the same reasons as Marcolie. Some things just strike me as odd, and I've got a bad feeling about this. (perhaps I should've been connoisseur of Star Wars quotes )

I mean, at the time of posting, my list is rather random and pointlessly based, just like "what everyone is doing toDAY". But I added about the seer and one person meaning last night's dream (I was being Captain Obvious). As for you, Wilwarin, you are on the suspect list toDAY for old time's sake but of course, that could change tomorrow. Meaning I put you on the suspect list (tomorrow) because I think you are a wolf.

Yeah, this passage confuses me. Which brings it to my attention, which makes me suspicious. If you could clarify, Holby, especially the sentence about the seer and the one person meaning last night's dream bit. That'd help me greatly.

Oh also: some people have brought up my usage of blame. The honest answer for why I wrote that word is that it's shorter and easier to spell than accuse. The two are basic synonyms, and I wasn't thinking about the negative connotations the former might have as opposed to the latter. I meant nothing sinister or to encourage random mob lynches by it. Sorry.

That's all for now. I'll be back with anything semi-relevant and my vote in an hour or so.

This is true Glirdan could just be ruffling some feathers and going with the odds just to see peoples reactions to his comments. He could easily be a wolf jumping on an innocent or they could even both be crafty wolves which would be almost as bold of a plan than if Glirdan turned out to be the seer! There is also the more boring option that he could be an innocent villager, but that would be no fun right? With regrades to Glirdan, I'm happy to play a wait and see game, but if I'm around to see what happens is a different matter all together.

Hiriel – There is something about his posts that I can't quite put my finger on but to quote Glirdan it's just a gut feeling, and not even a strong one to boot.

Tar-ancalime- Flip flopping could be but down to first day nerves but more than that, these posts worry me-

While this is true, the death of any innocents would be nothing I would want to see.

I would love to know how you could be so sure about that.

With so little to go on in DAY 1 I will have to vote with the most evidence I have

++Tar-ancalime

After a re-read Tar-ancalime just piped DEATH for my vote as there is a little more to go on. DEATH is someone I plan to watch.

[Kitanna]

Ok, I had time to eat dinner and shower and that gave me time to think. I decided to do as Wilwa did and take my five main suspects and throw their names in a hat and pull out one. (suspects in case you're wondering or even care: DEATH, Sleepy Ranger, Glirdan, Tar, and Gurthang) I closed my eyes, drew out a name and came up with

++Sleepy Ranger

Now...why I suspected SR.

As for blaming somebody.....blame?....accuse would be a better word, no? Anyway as long as we don't throw it around randomly and think it over logically I daresay we'll be heading in the right direction. At the moment I don't really find anybody suspicious, I mean its just the first day so nothings clear.

Granted we need to start somewhere but accusations off occupations are rather baseless since the occupation has no meaning. I'm going to do what I did in the last game and just observe for the first day before actually devoting myself in the next when we'll have some harder evidence.

Now my whole purpose of posting my list at the beginning was to see how people responded to a random accusation. I felt uneasy each time SR brought up thinking logically and not pointing the blame due to randomness. If we all sat around looking at opening posts and trying to find logic in them we'd be doomed. He says "We need to start somewhere..." but if we do not put some form of accusation out there (no matter how random) then we can't really start.

perhaps people are just trying to back up a random post with evidence that isn't there. Anyway the first day does tend to be quite random and hopefully by the next we won't be falling to things such as occupations and actually going off something solid.

I find this to contradict itself. He says people are giving random posts for evidence that isn't there, but right away he says things today are going to be quite random. So then, why is there just a problem for random suspicions and evidence if that seems to be what day one is made of?

And finally SR voted for Glirdan, for "reasons stated by other people", well which reasons? Which people? Perhaps SR is trying to start a bandwagong, seeing as there is already one vote for Glirdan.

[Eonwe]

um i happen to agree with sr. what good is stabbing in the dark the whole game through. logic. tell me why. what is behind it all? that is what we need to see, cold hard logic. we won't get anywere without it. but there is a great derth of that Day one. so........

++willwa there is no logic and this is a completly random vote. i didn't even do the names in a hat trick...

[Gurthang]

Well, I have to leave and won't be back toDay. So I will go with:

++Márcolië Lamen

Because she is the only one who I think is acting strange and who has not recieved a vote yet. See you all tomorrow.... hopefully.

[Bergil]

++Marcolie "DEATH" Laman

I don't suspect her in the least' but I must vote for someone.

I am not talking about taking random stabs in the dark every day. I am talking about the fact on day one if someone does not get the ball rolling then we will start each day as clueless as we were the day before.

[WaynetheGoblin]

Well I missed a lot. It looks to me that it is a theer way tie. If someone dosent vote to break the tie then three die and we cant do that.

[WaynetheGoblin]

Sorry for the double post. After a little thinking I will vote. Mostly I just voted for her bacause it is tar first game and I dont suspect glirden.
++marcolian.

[Holbytlass]

I mean, at the time of posting, my list is rather random and pointlessly based, just like "what everyone is doing toDAY". But I added about the seer and one person meaning last night's dream (I was being Captain Obvious). As for you, Wilwarin, you are on the suspect list toDAY for old time's sake but of course, that could change tomorrow. Meaning I put you on the suspect list (tomorrow) because I think you are a wolf.

Restating:We all are pretty much in agreement that the first DAY is usually just accusations based on random and nothingness (except the wolves because they know who they are and they know everyone else is innocent). We agree that the seer has had one dream about one person, therefore except for the seer's accusation or defense of ONE person, every other accusation is just guesswork. And since we all know this, that's what makes this an obvious statement.

I hope this clears up what I said because I can't restate any plainer.

[Márcolië Lamen]

votes

Tar-2
Glirdan-2

because you've played more of two to choose from and It'd be fairer to let a new person play

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I realy hate this first day. There is nothing "real" to vote by.

You guys are making this realy hard for me, You have made me a bit suspisios of Glirdan and think less ill of DEATH. I will let Tar-ancalime go for this time, but lets see tomorrow.

arrg I will just go with my first thught.

well that didn't do much good. someone needs to rebreak our tie. have at it guys..

[SunniGadi]

Hey!

It's more than likely too late for me to join...heheh....and I hope no one gets mad t me for posting, but just letting you know I'm here.

[malkatoj]

Okay, so current voting is as follows:
Tar: 2
Glirdan: 3
Sleepy: 1
Wilwarin: 1
Marcolie: 3


Here is how to vote: The title of your post MUST be 'Vote.' Then it goes like this:
++NAME
Capitals, I don't care so much about. IF THE NAME IS SPELLED WRONG IT DOES NOT COUNT. Simply because they're right there and you should be able to look at it.

Remember that there ARE double lynchings, but no triple lynchings, so if there is a three-way tie then the first two voted for get lynched. Thanks!

[tar-ancalime]

Oh dear, it's getting a little hot under the collar here! It seems I've had an inauspicious first DAY.

I feel the need to explain myself a little.

First, this:

Tar: I'm still a little suspicious of, because of his flip flopage. He's not posted in a while, either. Dunno, but I doubt I'll vote for him. I'd rather keep an eye on him for a while first.

If you will toddle over to the planning thread, you'll see that I noted I am in Asia. I'm at GMT +7, which is exactly 12 hours different from the Eastern U.S. That means I will post when I can, but posting during the most active hours for you would mean staying up all night. This I cannot do. Look for me at the beginning and ending of each DAY.

Next, the "flip-flop issue."

I will admit that when I heard of this terrible tragedy in our village, I felt in my old bones that something needed to be done. I spoke in terror, in horror of the tales of other villages that have turned on their own innocents. As I have stated above, I was wrong. I should not have advised quiet or waiting. Since trying to correct my tragic error, I have been consistent. I have urged people to voice their suspicions.

Unfortunately my errors did not end there. I posted this, which has raised some suspicions:

But of course, Gurthang! I said that we should refrain from accusing the innocent. But I also know that whomever I accuse is sure to be guilty, so no worries there.

This was mere bravado, an attempt to cancel the overcaution of my previous post. It was another error, I can see now.

I do not want to be a silent, helpless (and unhelpful) bystander who watches my village slowly dwindle. Unfortunately, in all my long years I have never had to deal with a menace of this nature. I hope that you can forgive an old woman for what ought to be a young person's mistakes.

I have also fallen under suspicion for having a "prime suspect" so early in the game. Tell me, how is having one prime suspect different from creating a whole suspect list? My accusation is just as valid toDAY as the lists posted by others.

I will wait a little longer before voting, but I hope that you will not consider the mistakes of an old woman to be the behavior of a fiend.

[Márcolië Lamen]

posting because our lovely mods are writing up my death (DEATH's death )

Remember, do not post at night, you are supposed to be asleep, as I would be if not about to be killed.

[malkatoj]

The sun began to set on Lower Tadfield as the villagers cast their votes, hoping that they would kill a werewolf. One by one, Malkatoj's ghost floated through their walls, telling them to hurry up and get outside. She added to each as she left, "It's cold outside, you'll need a sweater. A sweater..." and floated away.

Finally, the villagers gathered in a circle around the two mods, each equipped with a weapon. Two villagers brought up the people to be lynched.

"Two, eh? In the first night? Well, that's interesting," remarked Abercrombie as she surveyed the crowd.

Suddenly a great commotion rose as Glirdan tried to escape. "I don't want to die! I'm too young! I'm innocent, really!" he protested. One of the villagers, seeing this, lost control and fired a 24-carat golden bullet into his chest. Watching him grow cold, they soon realized that they had killed an innocent.

"Well, there's the other one!" yelled Rune Son of Bjarne, hoping that Márcolië Lamen would be their wolf. DEATH was brought to the middle of the circle. The village was silent in anticipation. As Bergil raised an axe, Malkatoj floated forward, pausing the swing.

"Márcolië Lamen..." she said. "Do you have any last requests? Any at all?"

"Yes, Modkatoj, I do." The entire village stared, confused--why hadn't Glirdan gotten a last request? Finally they understood as Márcolië uttered one word: "Shelob."

"Wait--you want to be Shelob? You could have been anything! Wolf, or seer, or hunter or whatever. And you choose Shelob? A giant spider? Disgusting!" Malkatoj was enraged as to why her Mythomaniac would choose to be a spider.

"No, no, not the spider Shelob. The other Barrow-Downer. I want to be her," Márcolië explained.

"But she's not even--Oh. You make me sad. So be it...come, Abercrombie." With that, the Mod and her backup floated away from the village.

"But we have to kill Márcolië!" shouted the villagers, as they stared at their disappearing Mods and forgot about DEATH. When they finally decided to pay attention, they caught her just as she disappeared from existence, completely and entirely. "But that means...if it's Shelob...it was never here in the first place?" questioned one very astute villager. Then another pointed out, "DEATH is gone...nobody can die now."

"But it's not gone. It just...vanished. It's not dead...it's gone for a walk, you might say. We can still die..." ventured Holbytlass, realizing what had happened.

IT IS NOW NIGHT. Wolves, start PMing. I need a name from the wolves, the seer, the ranger and the hunter. Please remember to look over the rules in Post 1 before tomorrow, and don't post until the NIGHT's death.

[malkatoj]

It was a long, cold night in Lower Tadfield. As day broke, the villagers stretched their arms and rubbed their sleepless eyes. Each one had his fair share of stumbling into walls from being too tired, and some just outright fell asleep. Alas, they were too nervous to stay that way. They knew that a werewolf attack could occur at any time.

The villagers gathered in the town square and began to count. Due to everyone’s constant falling asleep and being bleary-eyed to the extent that they couldn’t see correctly, nobody really got a straight count until finally Hiriel found a solution: “Does anyone have coffee?” he asked. When he saw the blank looks on everyone’s faces, he understood that no, the village was severely lacking in this food staple.

After a little chatting (and snoring) about where to get coffee, or really anything that would wake them up, Sleepy Ranger remembered something. “Guys…that, you know, that guy I was with. With the cart and all…selling stuff…Gurthang. He’s a peddler, right? Who’s to say he can’t sell coffee?” Sleepy Ranger was of course used to needing to wake up, so the villagers listened to him.

Sleepy led the way to Gurthang’s cart, getting a little lost on the way. Everyone was alert in only one aspect: wolves—any movements made by anyone else caught their attention, and when they realized that it wasn’t a wolf, the fell back into their stupor.

Finally they arrived at the cart. A friendly face greeted them, as always, from inside and the villagers started ordering their coffee. But the friendly face did not change. WaynetheGoblin grabbed a long stick and poked Gurthang’s face—was he asleep like the rest of them? Sleepy walked to the back of the cart and opened up the door. As soon as it was fully open, Gurthang’s body fell to the ground. Sleepy called the other villagers over to look.

“Wolves,” said THE Ka, settling the wolf-Balrog dilemma. “Look,” she continued, pointing at a distinct paw print on Gurthang’s shoulder.
