I know how many beans make five....

Kath regrets to inform y'all (except she obviously didn't say y'all) that she will in face be absent for the rest of the Day, since the Downs crash hasn't quite unhappened for her. That is all.

In other news, Rikae, that video was amazing. Now off to dinner and church; back in plenty of time to kill one (or more) of you. Play nice, chillens!

~~Your Moddess~~

EDIT: x'd with Nog and Mith. The hatchling comment re:Nienna was only in reference to the fact that she's never played before.

Mithalwen · 03-25-2009, 05:09 PM

I am sorry I haven't posted before. This is because having not actually agreed definitively to participate in this game I have been being following Voltaire's advice in the pleasantly suprising springlike weather my part of the world has been experiencing and havent' been on line for three days.

However after the last game, it seems my will is irrelevant to my participation so in this- is this what they call a meta-existence? I may as well try and work out what on earth is going on.... *sighs*

Exixtence - without him, what is the point?

Phantom? Whyfor did you go and leave me?

Mithalwen · 03-25-2009, 05:25 PM

Because Rikae is just full of sound and fury.

Mithalwen · 03-25-2009, 05:26 PM

Goodnight.

Rikae · 03-25-2009, 05:26 PM

There are three cobblers and three ducks. Nyah.

Rikae · 03-25-2009, 05:29 PM

I don't know about the others, but Sally certainly gave me additional abilities. I can, in fact, stop someone's nightly activities from working. Honesty, joking aside. Whether you consider that a good thing or a bad thing depends on your role, I suppose.

Isabellkya · 03-25-2009, 05:31 PM

I doubt that.

Gwathagor · 03-25-2009, 05:32 PM

Wait, before you go, Mith...

If it makes any difference, I'm the seer. Brinniel and I were modified lovers. Our fates were only combined if one of us was lynched, not killed at Night.

Mac, Fea, Mithalwen, and Nogrod are innocent. Mithalwen is the Phantom's Apprentice.

Rikae · 03-25-2009, 05:34 PM

Moddess, he dreamed of Fea when I picked her. What gives?

Well Mith did that already once as you well know...

But if you guys are just free agents what then? I'm a bit sceptical of someone being just a free agent with no goal left or right. I'd bet you have other goals and or abilities as well - or is it that you Rikae are just trying to make us think the ability Mith has is the one you have as well - so as not to reveal your real cababilities?

Otherwise: whoa! Interesting things indeed!

And why do they always need to happen just as I'm planning to go to sleep?

Is this your "blocking Fea's abilities" role or you now an assassin, too, Rikae?

Okay... I have to go... I can't sort the rest of this out, so

++Rikae

Self-confessed cobbler and maybe more...

Might be worth someone going back and checking what we were talking about just before she came out as a baddie, though.

GOOD LUCK!!!

I believe Rikae is suggesting that she is able to block the seer from dreaming of certain people.

If she is not bluffing, which is obviously so completely possible it's ridiculous, then perhaps the cobbler(s??) are good to get rid of in this game...

I'm still looking at Lari to go for a wolf, Rikae to at least get rid of a cobbler and maybe something more, and at Nilp and now Izzy for...I don't even know what...

Edit: Crossed with Gwath

Nogrod · 03-25-2009, 06:52 PM

Could you please explain Rikae what were you choosing / picking Fea for? And why are you irritated to the mods that you "picked" her at the same Night Gwath dreamed of her?

You said you had a capability of preventing someone's Nightly action but what was Fea doing that Night that you "hindered her actions" as you say? Why are you startled by the fact that nothing happened if it was just preventing her actions you were doing?

You didn't say you were preventing Gwath's actions that Night - and how could you as you were wrong about the Night (or purposefully just claimed a thing there) as it looks like you were thinking of Night2, right?

What I mean: Gwath said:

Then Rikae immediately answered:

How do you know you were picking her on the same Night Gwath dreamed of her? So you just thought it was the question of Night2 as Gwath put Fea as second in the list? But according to Gwath it was already on Night0 he checked her. So what gives, indeed?

I would understand you would be angry if she didn't turn into a duck even if you tried... maybe Brinn covered her that Night or something.

And anyway. Three wereducks voted for Gwath on the Day Lommy died, so I'm ready to lay quite a bet on him being the more trustworthy of you two.

PS.

But she said she had picked "her" eg. Fea - and not Gwath (him...). To prevent someone you surely prevent someone from doing something so Rikae would have had to prevent Gwath, not anyone that could be referred to as her.

Nogrod · 03-25-2009, 06:59 PM

Adding to the previous...

And I think that kind of person is not someone we'd wish to have around now would we - even without a possibility of her being able to produce more ducks?

Durelin · 03-25-2009, 07:01 PM

I was thinking that maybe she gets to pick someone each night and if the seer tries to dream of them they aren't able to. Then it's a question of if the person she picks on a particular night is only immune to being dream that night, or if they are made immune indefinitely. The latter seems like a bit too much. And there's a pretty darn big chance she's just bluffing anyway, so not sure how much we want to dwell on it...

Durelin · 03-25-2009, 07:03 PM

No, no she's not, especially if she has such a power. But I'm not going to vote quite yet.

Nogrod · 03-25-2009, 07:11 PM

I have to vote now anyway (a bit less than five hours to sleep now).

Whatever she is, I'd bet a lot she's up to no good. Just look at her reactions and explanations - and that latest one of her being annoyed she didn't get to pick Fea in whatever way she wanted to, as Fea was shown as an innocent to the seer (even if Gwath is bluffing her reaction still stands).

A good guy wishing the seer not to dream of someone? You believe it if you will, but I won't.

++ Rikae

Isabellkya · 03-25-2009, 07:13 PM

To Dury. An explanation.

As I said on Day Two - there is no seer.
There are people who fancy themselves to be the seer, because they know more than the average villager. Some, are not at liberty to even infer that they know more. Just because you think you are a seer, because of your abilities - does not a seer make.

X'd with Nog.

What do you think Rikae was "picking" (Rikae's own term!!!) Fea for then? To join a tupperware-party?

Gwathagor · 03-25-2009, 07:25 PM

Nilp ++ Mac (Mac 1)
Nilp – Mac ( )
Fea ++ Nilp (Nilp 1)
Fea – Nilp ( )
Rikae ++ Mac (Mac 1)
Nilp ++ Durelin (Dury 1, Mac 1)
Mac ++ Rikae (Rikae 1, Dury 1, Mac 1)
Mith ++ Durelin (Dury 2, Rikae 1, Mac 1)
Nerwen ++ Rikae (Rikae 2, Dury 2, Mac 1)
Nogrod ++ Rikae (Rikae 3, Dury 2, Mac 1)

Isabellkya · 03-25-2009, 07:26 PM

Oh.
Haha. Right in front of my face.
I think I completely understand Rikae's role now. I doubt she is as dangerous as the WereDucks.

X'd with Gwath.
