Between Shasta and Samwise it's hard to say. Shasta might be innocent because he has not bothered to take part () but Samwise tried at least a bit and thence might be a wolf... but it would be bad to kill him just for that... well there's more actually but still.

The Downs clock is probably causing problems. Remember I'm willing to hold off the deadline for a few minutes to make sure latecomers get the chance to vote.
But not too long, mind you, so hurry!

Okay.
++ Samwise He might have just tried a bit too much for his own good (looks like someone with a reason to state he's around and plays) but not enough to make him look innocentish...

Sorry I haven't spoken much, but I haven't found much to say! Here's my vote:

I think everyone around has got their vote in. Very well: Day is ending, and so voting is now over.
SamwiseGamgee has been lynched and his death-scene shall be posted shortly.

The Warg Elders had reached an accepted conclusion to the issue of whom to lynch. SamwiseGamgee, one of the mightiest Wargs of this or indeed any age had been chosen, with a mere two votes. But so negligible was the agreement of the council that this was enough to condemn him. Once a huge, monstrous Warg, of terrifying snarl and magnificent bearing, SamwiseGamgee was now ancient beyond the reckoning of human comprehension. No longer brash and vain, he loped forlorn in front of the Elders, unwilling spiritually to come to peace with his doom. His eyes sagged and his great mind pondered the ones whose machinations had led him to this ignoble end.
There were tears in the eyes of some of the others, but some rushed at SamwiseGamgee, in an attempt to rid themselves of the agonising wait. They clattered into the Great Warg, ripping at his flesh – they simply wanted this dreadful fate to be over with. And they heard his howls of pain, and the words, as if he had just now remembered them: My power was worth more, you should have known; no-one can protect you now. My power is gone from the Elders -- the power to safeguard you from these demons. And I had not the chance to use it... The Wargs stopped tearing at their dying friend, and shuddered at his grim truth. They had chosen poorly this first day. --------- The Living Legate of Amon Lanc Thinlómien Kitanna Kath Nogrod Gwathagor Shastanis Althreduin Brinniel Mithalwen Diamond Groin Redbeard Gollum The Great Rune Son of Bjarne Gaunt The Dead SamwiseGamgee (Guardian) Night 2 has begun. No talking in the village. Villains, send me a name; Seer, send me a name.

Into the dusk, some Wargs had remained by Eomer’s walls, peering at the markings. There were so many, and so difficult to interpret, for Eomer spoke numerous languages and used various letters and runes to project his mind. More pieces had emerged: Deliverance earned through chance, whatever Wargs are in the time gathered. The carnage begins and the originator steps nearer. Unseen is he who shadows the master. Both march to our bleak axis, the confirmation of our pain, towards the slayers we experience as harrowers.
The morning came, after the Wargs had spent the night with little sleep and less rest. They found her early. Strewn across a huge boulder, was the stretched and torn carcass of Kitanna. Aside from the horrific mutilation she had suffered, no sign of her being anything other than a normal and true Warg Elder was seen. The Living Legate of Amon Lanc Thinlómien Kath Nogrod Gwathagor Shastanis Althreduin Brinniel Mithalwen Diamond Groin Redbeard Gollum The Great Rune Son of Bjarne Gaunt The Dead SamwiseGamgee (Guardian) Kitanna (Warg) Day 2 has begun. Decide among yourself who must die this day. Deadline in 24 hours, give or take a few minutes.

I have to wake up in six hours so I'll make this as brief as I can...
That was bad! I mean yesterDay... Does anyone remember someone getting lynched with just two votes on Day1? The information we can draw from the lynch is even less we might have feared. Basically half of the village got at least one vote... We might as well make a deal that everyone should vote for the one next to her/him in the "living" column. The way both Gollum and Gwath just dropped in without any presence before it and a long time after the deadline - well minutes - looks and feels bad. If you are goodies please join the discussion if you're around and let us others share your thoughts. Knowing you're around and knowing what you think might have led us to another conclusion and maybe... well, maybe we could have voted differently and who knows? But how you performed yesterDay felt sneaky.

Day 1 Voting
Sam -> Brinniel (Brinniel 1) Mithalwen -> Thinlomien (Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Kitanna -> Kath (Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Rune -> Mithalwen (Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Kath -> Gollum (Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Thinlomien -> Shasta (Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Legate -> Sam (Sam 1, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Nogrod -> Sam (Sam 2, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Kath 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Gwathagor -> Kath (Kath 2, Sam 2, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) Gollum -> Thinlomien (Thinlomien 2, Kath 2, Sam 2, Shasta 1, Gollum 1, Mithalwen 1, Thinlomien 1, Brinniel 1) I am inclined to think that those who voted against SamGam (Legate and Nogrod) could very well be innocent. Because yesterDay's votes were cast over a broad field, and two other people received the same number of votes as Sam, I do not see any necessary malice or bandwaggoning in Sam's death. In particular, I doubt that Nogrod is a traitor (I can't really say "wolf"), primarily because I see the willingness to take on the attention and suspicion that comes with being the deciding vote as a sign that he honestly found Sam as likely a candidate as anyone else. The other possibility is that Brinniel is a traitor and Nogrod was forced to kill someone else in order to save her from the lynch. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of exposing onesself so early on, when it would be equally easy to hide in an obscure vote?

Awooooh! Um.... good morning. Man it feels weird being a Warg, these fleas are really beginning to get to me.
Well our Were Wargs seem to be playing it safe for the first Night. Although I wasn't here to post yesterDay ( *goes out finds a baseball bat and hits himself* ) I did do a bit of research from Day 1. Kitanna is an absolute random kill, she proved very indecisive yesterDay talking a little bit about Samwise but later casting a vote for Kath. I have a really bad feeling about Nogrod and I believe that a good deal of trouble would be saved if we just lynch him! Then again I always have a bad feeling about Nogrod in WW.

I must agree with Nogrod about yesterDat's lynching... it was rather too random, really. But on the other hand, I think yesterDay was also less informative than Day1s in general, so I would say that is at least a little understandable, if not totally acceptable... And to add to this that we lynched our guardian, it's really just not very impressive. I think the problem was that there was really no discussion in the late minutes, just everybody stating their opinion in no relation to other people's actions...
And I'm a bit baffled by Kitanna's death. I can't think of an apparent reason why she died, especially as she was - at least in a way - suspected quite a lot yesterDay. Was she suspected of seerism or did they kill her to confuse us or something? I should have a look at her posts, maybe, but I'm too tired right now... *yawn* I will go sleep sooner or later, but I might hang around for a short while if there's lively discussion here... edit: xed with Rune, Gwath and Groin

I continue to harbour suspicions regarding Lommy and Legate, though the mechanics and the intricate puzzle of this fascinating game hold me unable to believe anyone much "weirder" or "more suspectable" than anyone else. P. S. Hail Redbeard!

Okay, I think there's no need for me to second the quite unhelpful, when it comes to evidence, course of events this far. YesterDay's actions and voting give really too little to chew, toNight's kill however maybe could - at least a little. I would like to maybe stop and dig deeper into it, but for now, there's just one point which I can raise from it, which you can find below.

Although there's one thing, I don't belive Nog-wolf would pick Kitanna for a first kill. That'd really testify strongly against him in my eyes. He would pick some quiet one to "punish" him. I think today's going to be, for me, more about observation (and that's to hope there will be EVERYBODY posting so that I can observe them), also because I am not sure how much time I'd have during the day to post. But I will show around, definitely. Just not that I'd be overflowing the thread. EDIT: x-ed since last Gwathagor

Actually, I will venture as far as to say just one thing: I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that Eomer enjoyed our confusion a lot yesterDay and is now writing weirder and weirder narrations just in order to confuse us more and amuse himself...

Okay, care to give a more elaborated explaination why? (As the fact that you say you are suspecting somebody without giving grounds is a) not going to help the others at all, as they cannot compare whether you have a point or not, b) may be taken as a mere whim of a wolf to get rid of somebody without any grounds.)

Sorry, Legate, it might be described as sort of "gut feeling", but I'm bad at illustrating my own suspicions.

Okay, at least something. (Be prepared though, that if you use "gut feeling" too often and nothing else for reasoning, you may find yourself being mistrusted soon.)

Why is everybody throwing threats at newbies in this game?
I'm going to sleep now... as a parting comment I will say that I really like the current level of activity, let's hope it keeps up...

These are no threats, but well-meant advices. (Even though I may be speaking to a nasty Were-warg... or two )

My, my, yesterDay was a disaster. The voting was way too spread out. The fact that Samwise was lynched because he was the first to hit a three-way tie is plain ridiculous. Nothing good ever comes of something like that. And I'm sad to see Samwise go...not only because he was a gifted but he was a member I've never played with before and would've liked to.
YesterDay also seemed strangely quiet. I know I'm one of those to blame (due to RL), and I understand others have RL confliccts too...but of course it makes it easier for a baddie to hide among the quiet. Again, I apologise for not voting. It was so early in the Day and I had not the slightest idea who to vote for...if I made a completely random vote, I was worried I might be partially responsible for getting an innocent lynched. It would've been just distracting for me to point a finger at someone when I didn't have anyone to point a finger at. While I'd like to be more active toDay, I can't make any promises. RL has been quite stressful, and when I signed up for this game I didn't know that this week would be so busy for me. However, I will definitely vote toDay and if I'm still alive Day 3, I know for sure I'll be able to participate more.

Thinlomien strikes me as much more giddy, both toDay and yesterDay, than usual. I think it was commented on yesterDay, and I didn't think much of it, but then I noticed again toDay that she seems extra-ordinarily exuberant. It could be that she is employing a different playing style just for the heck of it, or she could be using it as a cover. How likely is it that Eomer would have made one of our new players a werewolf? I'm not well enough acquainted with him to know whether or not I should consider it a likelihood/possibility.

Oh look.... a werewolf game.
I have arrived! ! Why is no one else excited? Oh well. Sorry about being absent, and all that rot. I haven't even cracked open my computer in ...four days? Has it been that long? Yikes. I didn't realize the game had started. Well anyway, I haven't really read anything in the game to know what's going on, except that I am apparently still "in the game" as it were. So I have nothing useful to say besides announcing my own effervescent presence.
