Danger: Alpha female.
Anguirel is the original Fenris wolf and he named our order at my behest. There is no committee ergo I am not its chairman. It is far simpler than that.

It is *searches for appropriate comparison" a err federal matter and so not in a mod's jurisdiction much as I otherwise champion the divine rights of mods.
And I don't have the semblances of authority, I am the authority unless the King should return..... Don't you just love the "It's my ball and I'm going home now" school of arguments. ![]()

So much internet trouble. I'm not sure if I'll be on much more toDay, but I'll read over the thread and see what I can do in the next few minutes.

Special Event: Sacrificial Chamber
In case anybody was starting to think that there is too little adrenaline in this game nowadays, here comes the second special event.
You have been all locked in the sacrificial chamber. It is necessary that you sacrifice one of your own to open the door and get out of the place, otherwise you all die here without oxygen. After you get out, though, you will lynch one person as usual. That means technically two "lynches" toDay. In addition to the normal lynch vote, you get the chance to vote somebody for sacrifice toDay. Each player has one sacrifice vote. The vote is cast similarly to the normal one, but highlighted (you highlight a piece of text by writing [ highlight ]THE TEXT YOU ARE HIGHLIGHTING[ /highlight ] without spaces inside the brackets), like this: ++sacrifice Legate of Amon Lanc You can choose not to cast your lynch vote for toDay, if you wish, and instead cast only your sacrifice vote (it both counts as if you have voted toDay for the purposes of having to vote). You can even choose to go for no-lynch toDay and only for the sacrifice, by voting thus: ++no lynch just as if you were voting for a person. If there are more "no lynch" votes in total than lynch votes for any other person, no lynch is going to be made. (But the same cannot be done for sacrifice.) The votes are in absolutely no relation to each other, i.e. it is like two totally separate lynches going on at the same time, not influencing each other at all. If the same person is voted for both sacrifice and lynch, he/she is going to be sacrificed (sacrifice takes priority) and the second person with the most lynch votes is going to be lynched (it can even be a "no lynch"). If there are lynch votes only for one person (if the voting was unambiguous) and the person is sacrificed first, there will be also no lynch (as there are no other votes). Otherwise, sacrifice works like a normal "lynch". ******************************************* EXAMPLE Frodo, Sam and Gollum are the three last players who have not placed any of their votes on Day 7 yet. Sam has already 1 lynch vote and Gollum has 1 lynch vote, Gollum and Frodo have also 1 sacrifice vote each. LYNCH: Sam (1), Gollum (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam, Gollum. SACRIFICE: Gollum (1), Frodo (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam, Gollum. Gollum votes to sacrifice Frodo, who has now 2 sacrifice votes, but when it comes to lynching, he does not think Sam is guilty, and he does not want to vote for himself (obviously).So he votes for "no lynch". LYNCH: Sam (1), Gollum (1), no lynch (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam. SACRIFICE: Frodo (2), Gollum (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam. Frodo is fed up with Gollum, so he votes to lynch him and also to sacrifice him. That puts Gollum in the lead in lynching, but Frodo is still in lead for sacrifice, as he was the first one to achieve the highest number of votes. LYNCH: Gollum (2), Sam (1), no lynch (1). Left to vote: Sam. SACRIFICE: Frodo (2), Gollum (2). Left to vote: Sam. Sam wants to get rid of Gollum, but he does not want to lose Frodo. So he votes to sacrifice Gollum, thus putting him in the lead. In this case, Gollum would be sacrificed, but Sam, having the second most votes for lynching, would be lynched. So he votes for "no lynch", making "no lynch" the second option after Gollum, who is sacrificed and so he cannot be lynched. Because of that, "no lynch" is "lynched" instead of Gollum - so no lynch is actually made toDay. If there are still any questions, you may ask them here or PM them to me.

Sorry for the late posting of DL, I got sidetracked (my cousin's dog just died and I completely forgot about WW even though during the last few hours I was basically only waiting for the clock as the outcome seemed clear already). But as you can see, for those of you who live, the game's not over yet and you have a nice Night now and can look forward to the following Day

Ugh! Father Frost take it!

By the way, by all accounts I won't be around much toMorrow. I won't have the internet at work (or so I assume) so I'll have to vote either extremely early or over my lunch hour, which I likely won't get tomorrow. I'll do what I can but wanted to give the heads up just in case.

Notice - Whenever I'm a Gifted, the innocents lose, but I'm always successful in my Gift. (and no, Cobblerism doesn't count.)

Okay folks, dead or alive, you can come and discuss here
![]() There will be of course a closing narration coming up yet on the game thread... and a formal announcement of the winner(s), of course ![]()

Epic Fail.
But nicely played, wolves. When I died and I found out who the remaining wolves were I was like "oh they will win... no one suspects them" and I'd just like to apologize to Lommy and Wilwa for suspecting you heavily without apparent cause. Good game everyone!

![]() So let me get this straight. We Fenris (sort of) one wolf, the seer dreams another, the hunter takes the third with him, and we still lose? Less than two hours into the Day? I'm sorely, repeat, sorely disappointed. By the way, Nerwen, nice job killing me. I'd self-protected the Night before but was hoping I'd be confident enough you'd assume I was doing it last Night. Alas, it didn't work, much to my surprise and chagrin. Still...."very very very unhappy." Shasta, I may have a song for you, but it'll have to wait a couple days most likely.

Like I said, it really seems that
1. innocents never win anymore 2. I never win anymore ![]() Sort of depressing. My apologies to Nienna and Brinn, and Wilwa too! Slight apologies to Lottie too, but then again, I still think lynching her was sort of reasonable. And congrats to Bes for fooling me quite nicely, btw. ![]()

Meh, I'm not chagrined at you, Nerwen, not at all. You were just too good for me first and then used your opportunity smartly.

Numbers?
satansaloser2005 182
Shastanis Althreduin 117 Nogrod 109 Thinlómien 98 Boromir88 82 Morsul the Dark 69 Macalaure 63 Loslote 61 Nerwen 55 Pitchwife 48 Eomer of the Rohirrim 37 Nienna 32 Legate of Amon Lanc 32 Mnemosyne 32 Brinniel 28 Bes 25 wilwarin538 25 Inziladun 24 A Little Green 20 Roa_Aoife 18 tromkehra 5 As I said, Shasta, one pretty darn quiet wolf. (Of the ones left when I made that statement, in fact both of the quiet ones were wolves.) I suspected Bes pretty quickly but of course "he was just being new" so we couldn't lynch him, alas. Nerwen did very well, though this again proves reverse psychology, as she was a wolf and I barely suspected her. And now I must go. Fare thee well until my return, dear village.
