I'm the Hunter. If you take two of Mira's posts she starts with three words whose first letters are U-T-R and mine following hers begin with words H-N-E. That's the code. I'm the real Hunter. Look it up.

Save me! Save me now!!

[wilwarin538]

It's done. Stop please. Narration soon.

[the phantom]

By not voting until two minutes left, Inzil, you possibly lost your chance to save me despite me being a revealed innocent. Why hold votes so long, people? Honestly.

[wilwarin538]

Nerwen's vote for the phantom doesn't count, she did not retract her Gaurcrist vote.

Damn it!

[Nerwen]

Well, give me a good death scene, please.

[wilwarin538]

As the sun moved slowly down and down, the villagers began to gather in the center of their town. The day had been full of confusion and reveals, the votes all cast quickly in the very last minutes. After the tally was taken and all was put into consideration the phantom was the one who was going to perish that day.

The villagers gathered around him and began to lead him towards the gallows, a walk they could now probably do blindfolded. When they were but a few feet away the phantom turned around and faced them all.

"You're all making such a big mistake." he said, looking them each in the eye as he spoke. "But I atleast I won't be going down alone."

He walked around the little half circle formed around him until he stopped at the villager he had chosen. Nerwen stared back at him, looking a bit confused.

"You." the phantom said before quickly pulling out a knife and stabbing Nerwen in her side. There was a moment of surprise as everyone watched this, not knowing what to do. Then there was a howl.

Suddenly Nerwen, just a small little thing, began to grow. She got larger, hair appearing everywhere. A canine snout appeared, with large teeth. Large ears sprouted from the top of her head. She was definitely one big bad wolf.

"That hurt." The Big Bad Wolf growled before pouncing at the phantom. The villagers all backed away as the fight grew more and more intense.

The phantom pulled out his trusted axe and swung full force at the giant wolf, who was actually very quick for his large size. The fight drew on for long minutes. But finally the phantom was able to get in the death blow and the Big Bad Wolf was defeated. The villagers rushed over to their hunter to find that he had been wounded.

"Told you guys you were making a mistake." he mumbled, as his eyes began to droop. "How will you all manage without me?"

With those final words he closed his eyes and was gone. Eomer stayed behind as the rest walked back to their homes, all feeling far more vulnerable but glad that the baddies numbers were dwindled.

It is now Night 7. No more posting.

Just as a note: the next phase will only be 23 hours long, I have to end it early. So the next Day will start at 9 am EST (instead of 10am like it is now), so back to the old deadline for a while. I'll let you all know if it changes back.

Oh, a little note cause I'm sure people will be confused. I didn't miscount votes, keep Hansel and Gretel in mind.

[wilwarin538]

(So 2 hours early instead, hope nobody minds, I'll let you know later today when this Day will end. This will not be the best narration ever, I'm in a bit of a rush)

The few remaining villagers awoke and gathered in the town square. It became obvious very quickly that Lari was the one missing today. They gathered close together and walked to her little shop. She lived in a little apartment above her fortune telling shop.

They climbed up the stairs and walked into her little home. After a quick walk through they came to the little kitchen. Lari owned a small old fashioned stove, the kind that required wood inside to heat it up.

The little door was open and it was pretty easy to see that that was where she was. Eomer was not needed today, so they all left together to begin the discussions.

Day 7 starts now. You may discuss.

[Kath]

What does it mean Eomer was not needed toDay? I do hope you are here Eomer but even if you are I don't know that we can win now. McCaber, Gaurcrist and Inzil must now all be evil and if we lynch the Cobbler rather than a wolf we lose.

[Inziladun]

First things first. Sorry about that, phantom. I feel an explanation of my vote is necessary.
When I signed off on Day 6 to go to bed, I had every intention of being back at least a couple of hours before deadline to read and discuss. Needless to say, it did not work out that way. I woke up about 15 minutes before DL and hurried to read the latest.
I first saw Kath's vote for me, which honestly, didn't appear to me to be any more solid than my earlier vote for her, but oh well.
I also noted Lari had revealed as Gretel.
I read as phantom exhorted eveyone to hurry up and vote. Now, I was still unsure about him, but I was leaning toward giving him a pass for at least one more Day. Then he said this:

Well, I wouldn't mind lynching Nerwen if I can get everyone to help.

If not, then I'll settle for anything else besides me being lynched.

Now that seemed to come out of the blue, as I didn't recall him voicing any serious suspicion of her recently. And what happened next? McCaber immediately latched on. That appeared to be an awfully sudden bandwagon, and that was what pushed me at the last minute to vote phantom.
I saw his claim that Mira had left a clue verifying his Huntsman status, but there was simply no time to verify that before time ran out.
Honestly, I think that even if I had been there discussing for the previous hour and had already voted for someone else, I would have retracted and voted phantom, just because that last minute push for Nerwen seemed wrong. The fact that it turned out justified is irrelevant.
There it is. I'm sorry I helped do away with the phantom, but I didn't do it alone, and I don't see what else I reasonably could have been expected to think under the circumstances.

I think Eomer had said he would be away this weekend. It would most helpful if he could make an appearence today. No doubt he will if at all possible.
You are correct in saying the odds are not looking all that good at the moment, but there is still a chance. We simply must make the right decision today.
And everyone's evil but you and Eomer? I feel fairly confident about him; you, not so much.
If Gaurcrist fails to show up today, I believe he'll be modfired.

[McCaber]

Well since all our talkative players are gone, I might as well say what I think.

Eomer: Is there any doubt over his identity? No other Hansel has come forward yet, so I'm quite inclined to believe him.
Kath: Rather quiet, yet speaks well-thought out things when she appears. Much like myself, I'd say. I can't fault her for that yet.
Inzil: The loudest one of us toDay. Seems
Gaur: What are his plans now that tp's gone and revealed innocent? That seemed to be his whole campaign, but I'm actually interested to see what he has to say now.

[McCaber]

Ok. Just got back from my brother's graduation.

So about Inzil. I'd say he seems to be on the level. He's made some good points, and nothing obvious about him seems wolvish.
This could be a tough decision toDay.

Why I voted Nerwen: I really had no blatant suspicions of anyone once tp pressed his case and eventually revealed. Nerwen seemed as good a candidate as any then to me, so I decided to trust phantom on that choice. Hopefully we have more time toDay to get stuff done other than in the last five minutes.

Two posts makes me 'the loudest'? Relatively, I suppose. And what do I 'seem'?
I'm with you in being ready to take Eomer at his word, though it's always possible, I guess, that Gaur is Hansel.

Well there was no body for him to bury. That's all I meant. Sorry for confusion, wrote that in a rush.

I misread that myself. Thanks for the clarification.

[McCaber]

Inzil, by loudest I meant most posts across the game and able to post toDay. Says a lot about us, right? Anyway, sorry about the confusion.

And if Gaur comes back claiming to be Hansel, that could be the gamechanger. I highly doubt it, but it would set back my thinking quite a bit.

I got it after your next post. Thanks.
It is highly unlikely about Gaur being the real Hansel, but it would certainly help if we could see more of him. Since his apparent mortal enemy phantom is gone, I too wonder if he'll be back, or if so what he'll do.

[McCaber]

So what's everyone thinking for toDay? I don't want to vote Gaurcrist without a further reason, as modfire is looking extremely likely for him.

So it's got to come down to Inzil or Kath. And I don't know what to think about either of you two. I don't like these sorts of days.

The most difficult vote, thus far. Like you, I think Gaurcrist is a wasted vote, not only because modfire appears probable, but because I really don't believe he's a wolf. It's possible he could be LRC, I suppose, but the odds seem to be against it.
If I trust Eomer, and for the moment I do, my vote has to go for Kath, or you.
I didn't like your jumping on the train with phantom for what appeared to be no good reason. You've explained it as trusting him and having no particular inclinations about anyone else. I'm considering that. I really have little else that gives me pause about you.
Kath's last vote was for me. She said she wouldn't be surprised if you were a wolf, but in the same post thought I could be LRC. Now, as I said, I think the odds of LRC being a factor now are low, and there is no further danger of my being turned. The Old Witch has to be our focus at this point.

[wilwarin538]

Since Gaur didn't post or vote yesterDay (please correct me if that is wrong), if he does not post/vote toDay aswell he is in danger of my modfire powers.

Gaurcrist, I hope you're seeing this.

This Day phase may be a bit longer, really it depends on what time I wake up tomorrow. Try to get your votes in by at least 9am EST (so what the deadline was at the start of the game), but you can all keep talking until I've told you to stop. I've had a very long weekend, so we'll see if it will result in more sleep or not, I sure hope it does.

I did not see him. I think that's the second time he's missed an entire Day, though not consecutively.

[Inziladun]

Considering how late in the game it is, there certainly hasn't been much going on toDay. I do have a bit more to go on regarding McCaber, which is good.
I have to turn in now. I'll sleep on the vote. With luck, this will be the last DL of the game.
Night all.

[Inziladun]

Anyone here? This is likely my only chance to be here before DL.

[Kath]

Can't believe on this one day I have to miss deadline.

Right, Eomer, I'm hoping one of the evil lot misses the vote and you can add to this at the last minute:

++GAURCRIST

You seem more keen on him being a wolf than Inzil and I'm up for following you if it gets us through the Day!

[wilwarin538]

K...

well, since there are like no posts, I'll give you guys the next 35 minutes.

If Gaurcrist doesn't post before then he will be modfired.

Gaurcrist? When by all appearances he's about to be modfired?
That's just too much, Kath. I know Eomer voiced the possibility of his being evil, but that smells of throwaway to me.
Eomer? McCaber? Are you here?

[Inziladun]

++ Kath

[wilwarin538]

K.....where is everyone??????

I'm gonna be super super nice and give you guys another half hour. If nothing happens after that then I'm gonna kill Kath and Gaur.

So....start talking people.

[McCaber]

Curses, overslept. Not like I missed much, but still it's the principle of the thing. Thanks for the extra time my moddess goddess.

Kath for Gaur is a terrible vote, unless she just didn't want to make a decision. Hmm. I don't have a lot of time left.

What a day.

[Kath]

wilwa we've got another half an hour anyway no? I thought deadline was at 3pm my time from now on.

Btw, here I am! Surprisingly. Got done with school a lot quicker than I thought.

So I hadn't realised Gaurcrist hadn't voted in two Days. If he's going to be modfired anyway then the choice is Inzil or McCaber. I suspect Inzil anyway, and clearly McCaber is going to be more likely to vote him than himself! But then if he's evil he's going to vote me anyway so ...

Eomer? Could really do with you popping up!

I will retract the Gaurcrist vote and vote either Inzil or McCaber in the near future.

[McCaber]

Well then. I've made my choice here.

++Kath

for lack of a better option.

Edit: crossed with Kath.

[Kath]

Told you.

[wilwarin538]

Well, I had moved back the deadline for the last Day or so by an hour. But yeah, now I suppose it's back to what it has been.

[Kath]

You should warn people about that wilwa. Some of us don't actually pay attention to the timing of the narration post!

[wilwarin538]

I did, right here:

But, now it's back to what it was. So really nothing's changed, haha.
