Meeting at the Town Cobbler (WW XCV game thread)

[Eönwë]

Well, yes, the result of this lynch will reveal a lot. That much is true.

If I die toDay, then all I can do is wish good luck to the Ranger.

And then I imagine that toMorrow will be like this (I hope you're reading this Boro), or maybe a more serious version like this (couldn't find the normal version, but this is pretty similar).

[Rikae]

Lottie's vote will be a role of the dice, so there's a chance there's a lynch.

Eönwë, what's this?

So then my suspicions are right. It was Mac. I can't believe I got sucked into that.

Shasta basically just claimed to be an ordo. You can't both be.

I thought it was Ranger-guilt.

Say something quickly, Shasta, before one of us dies.

[Eönwë]

Even worse, Lottie hasn't even been around to back up your claim about her being the hunter.

Though on the other hand, the real seer should have counter-revealed by now if it isn't actually you.

[Rikae]

Lottie isn't the hunter.

So then why didn't you go for Mac?

[Rikae]

Why do you suppose?

I'm having a hard time with these rules. I understand we can talk during Night phases, but talking after DL with someone who might already be dead? Isn't that cutting it a little close?

[Macalaure]

May we know what Lottie is, then?

If she is the hunter, then hiding it hoping the wolf will go for the known innocent won't work anymore now. Not to mention that Lottie might not pick anyone at all.

[Eönwë]

Are you revealing as a wolf then?

[Eönwë]

If you're the seer, and you dreamed Lottie as a Ranger, then you'd have killed Mac because you knew he was lying.

Maybe, but since people can talk in the Night phase, and we haven't gained any more knowledge, and the general premise of the game is that we're in the Inn until we get kicked out, I don't think it's wrong.

[Rikae]

Are you 100% sure I didn't dream Lottie as an ordo?

[Macalaure]

But if you dreamed of Lottie as an ordo, why is Eonwe not a steaming pile of hacked up meat at this point?

[satansaloser2005]

I am terribly sorry, everyone. My phone died about an hour ago and I only got it plugged in a few minutes ago.


The die rolled for neither Shasta nor Steve. Everyone remains at the Cobbler.


In the Cobbler:
Rikae
Lottie
Shasta
Mac
Steve


I'll get back to my computer later on. Thank you so much for your patience.

Yes. Because I am an Ordo, and Sally said that there would be all the gifteds in this game, and none have died yet. And there's still one more wolf. Unless there's something that Sally's not telling us...

[Eönwë]

Well, on the one hand that's positive because it means we definitely get another Day, but on the other it's very bad, because we don't know anything new, and now there's no way of knowing everyone's role by toMorrow.

[Rikae]

Actually, Eönwë, you came out as "ordo" before I mentioned my fears concerning lynching the ranger, I believe, which argues in your favor because you had no way of knowing it was a safe role to claim.

Mac and Shasta implied they were ordos also, but later. Shasta, are you claiming ordo now? There is no benefit to hiding as the ranger at this point. It will be much simpler if we know what role is being claimed twice... Lottie should hunt one of those two, and it doesn't even matter that much which (what matters is that the real ranger has indeed stepped forward as such, so I can dream and see who is ordo and who is wolf).

Unfortunately I don't think Lottie is around.

[Rikae]

Or dream and see who is ranger or wolf as the case may be.

Yeah, it really doesn't matter which of the two Lottie hunts if one of Shasta and Eönwë is an ordo and the other a wolf: Mac and I could lynch the remaining wolf tommHour. So I'm not worried unless Lottie's not paying attention or Shasta is the ranger.

[Rikae]

(Just wanted to see your reaction to "not the hunter")

[Eönwë]

But now by doing this you're giving a possibly-wolvish Shasta a chance to choose to go against the Ranger or an Ordo. Why would you do that?

[Eönwë]

What I mean is that you should have chosen to let him reveal as what he wanted to, and then judged him. And does that mean you believe Mac's claim?

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Well, honestly, I was hoping to hide a little while longer - as long as it wasn't clear whether or not you were hiding Lottie's identity as the Ranger, the wolf might have guessed incorrectly with their kill tonight.

Hopefully that should clear things up. Now all you have to do is dream of Mac or I.

[Rikae]

If Shasta is a wolf...ish committe member, then you aren't, and it doesn't matter which he goes against, since tommHour is the last hour.

I believe Mac is not an ordo, and I believe you're not the ranger.

EDIT: Crossed with Shasta.

[Eönwë]

Happy now, Rikae?

edit: x-ed with Rikae herself.

[Rikae]

Ok, going on the assumption that at this point no innocent has reason to lie about xer role:

Lottie, please hunt one of Shasta or Mac!


This way, tomorrow we'll have either:

Lottie
Mac - ranger or wolf
Shasta - ranger or wolf
Me - seer knowing the difference

or

Lottie
Steve
Shastawolf
Me

or

Stevewolf or Shastawolf
Mac
Me

And we'll win.

[Rikae]

Oops, that last one was wrong of course, should be:

Shastawolf or Macwolf
Steve
Me

[Rikae]

In other words, wolfy, kill Lottie and die or reveal the other "ranger" as genuine, kill the other "ranger" and reveal him as genuine, kill Steve and I'll find you anyway, kill me and fail (and I'll find you anyway).

[Eönwë]

I was going to ask about that one.


I just wanted to say, for the record, that I'm suspecting Mac over Shasta (as I have since his first post toDay).


Also, I'm glad there was actually some sort of discussion toDay, rather than the complete silence that characterised the others. Time for me to sleep now.

[Loslote]

Sorry, guys. I really shouldn't have signed up for this game. I thought I'd have time, but... I probably just shouldn't play until after this semester is over, really. I'll try to be more active (or, really, present at all) toMorrow.

Anyway, I shan't reveal who I'm hunting. Let the wolfly committee member have more to fret over and all that.

[satansaloser2005]

As activities at the Cobbler wind down for the evening, the few remaining guests one by one retire to their rooms. The night passes uneventfully, and, come sunrise, Rikae and Mac, Shasta, Steve, and Lottie each wake up in their respective rooms, get dressed, and come downstairs to the main hall.


It is now morning.




In the Cobbler:
Lottie
Rikae
Shasta
Steve
Mac


Checked out:
Everyone else

[Macalaure]

Uneventful in the sense of ranger save or in the sense of no kill sent in?

Shasta, I am told, does not have our best interests as Tolkienites at heart.

If we're on the wrong track, and Rikae is indeed a marvelously bluffing fake seer (and the real seer? Don't ask me.), we will have one more day guaranteed and are therefore on the safe side with this:

[satansaloser2005]

What makes you think there are only three people on the committee?
