There's an actual wall on its way, just got sidetracked a bit.

An unbearably horrendous sound is heard - otherwordly and terrifying....

Everyone simply ignores it and goes about their business as if it never happened. They must have imagined it.

Heh



(catching up)

October 9, 1696 -

The first week and a half after Julie's death are filled with grief, fear, confusion, and a great deal of adjustment to the dwindled number of villagers left in Oakwood. None of you know exactly what to do other than try and work together as a community the best you can and figure out what the best course of action is to take.

The group of you is very used to working together and everything is well-organized and there are no logistical issues with the lot of you being around for the pertinent parts of whatever discussions are going on. You are all able to get your basic and necessary chores and work done around the village and your homes (again, as much as you can with your dwindled numbers.) You are working together and doing your best to keep the village running as best you can, and that is pretty damn good, actually. Everyone is able to eat regular meals and you all get what sleep you can in these anxious times. There really is at least some semblance of normalcy, despite it all.

You all spend a good portion of every day at The Community Home, and it has been a center of activity among you. At least one meal is prepared and cooked there for the group each day. It varies each time who works together making what, and it's a nice affirmation of your dedication to working together.

Pancakes, bacon, eggs, and breakfast potatoes (cut-up potatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic fried in a cast-iron skillet, crispy and yummy!) are a favorite and are had regularly, and in general a good deal of edibles are kept around for those that want something to eat during the long hours of discussion that tend to happen and there is never a shortage of available food.

Often when preparing your own food at your own homes, depending on what you make, you will make an excess and bring the leftovers to The Community Home to share with the rest of the remaining villagers.

All of you still have plenty of time, energy, focus, and opportunity to get together and discuss the situation at hand as much as you can. You reflect on things, talk things out, and really feel like you are all working towards figuring out what course of action to take.

There are some who think it is possible that the attack on Julie was just an isolated event and that perhaps everything is fine and safe and perhaps the exodus of the main portion of the villagers was pre-mature, and then there are some of you who think there is a serious threat at hand, just waiting for the right moment to strike.

Everyone is well-adjusted to the flow and you are currently all at The Community Home working on the situation at hand.

More than half of you, whether with much conviction or not, have conceded that the discussion that needs to be being had is whether or not to kill one of you.

7 villagers seem to think it is best not to kill anyone - they are :

Nathan (Dessimu), Emma (Ixamyakxim), Adam (agentcarr16), Craig (Bookwyrm627), Dan (Brasas), Claire (cristigale), and Sarah (TammyTown)

The rest are very split on who they seem to think might be a good idea to consider and discuss killing, and it all breaks-down like this:

Nathaniel (Nathan) Smith [Dessimu] ........... - 0 -
Sean O'Donnell (Sean-O!) [Lifthrasil] ........... - 1 - Fergus (Nachomamma8),
Laura Jennings [docbear1975] ..................... - 1 - William (QuadrAlien),
Emma Hess [Ixamyakxim] .............................. - 3 - Sean (Lifthrasil), Emily (trentonlf), Laura (docbear1975)
Adam Johnson [agentcarr16].......................... - 0 -
William (Bill) O'Brian [QuadrAlien] ................. - 0 -
Craig Adams [Bookwyrm627] ......................... - 0 -
Daniel (Dan) Evans [Brasas] .......................... - 0 -
Claire Dwyer [cristigale] ................................... - 1 - Marie (bler144)
Jason (Jay) Peterson [SirCrimsonFox] ......... - 1 - James (DragonSushi)
Eric Barton [yogsloth] ........................................ - 2 - Justin (Stanari), Jason (SirCrimsonFox)
Fergus (Fergie) Perkins [Nachomamma8] .. - 0 -
Sarah Matthews [TammyTown] ....................... - 0 -
Emily Barton [trentonlf] ...................................... - 0 -
Marie Thomson [bler144] ................................. - 0 -
James (Jim) Peterson [DragonSushi] ........... - 0 -
Justin Dawson [Stanari] ................................... - 1 - Eric (yogsloth)

if any of the villagers take issue with where their vote is, simply say so and clarify how you would like it to be, and I will adjust it accordingly (aka: I think I have it right, if not, let me know!)

In all fairness, we DID have a fairly focused D1 lynch in that game.

Yes and no. Around here, the active people say the suspicious things, and we lynch suspicious people. If everyone lurks, then wolves will win off NKs. Therefore, townies have to be active. I'm sure you can see where this is going.

What brings you to that conclusion?

Just a small, innocent little mistake, huh?

Are you related to a top, by any chance?

If we were hunting for regular wolves, then yeah, maybe a cow would do the trick. Remember the part about no tracks? That means we aren't dealing with regular wolves.

If you want to catch something, then put out the proper bait.

I have absolutely no idea why that would ever be a problem ever. In case you were wondering.

I am in complete and absolute agreement with you on this. Both of them needed to be lynched.

Were I in a mood to break a cardinal GOG Mafia rule, I'd wager that you are beyond "just think". You are certain.

...because anyone that has watched more than two games that had Drealmer in them would be aware of his favorite Day 1 vote? I'm calling BS on this.

I see fishing. Quite a bit of fishing. You, for example, have several poles in the water. On the bright side, you do make me laugh quite a bit.

A little voice in the back of my head just said "THAT is Yog's penalty?" in a tone that makes the desert look wet.

If he's not town it's actually amusing cover.

"I had to make this lame wolfy vote cuz I gotta vote, yo. It's a rule and shit."



I know, right?

I'm always amused and amusing you
Sans le fear of impending doom

The vote count made me sad, though. I had forgotten your name was Claire. Now I can't shake the feeling I'm trying to lynch Molly Ringwald.

Flavor: I kill and cook things. Also bake pies, apparently.


Having repeated premonitions that bler is going to eat me alive. Content's good though.

cristigale feels disengaged. Lift feels engaged but fluffy. Though the same is probably true of most of the thread.


orly

How hard will it be to extract actual content from you?

I'm sort of wondering if the wolves are possessed. Because, like you said, no tracks.

I took it to mean that there were no tracks where the kill happened because of the struggle, and around the kill there were only human tracks meaning that it was a werewolf that changed back to human and left no tracks. If not then whatever killed Julie stepped awfully lightly.

Caught up. From a flavor perspective, I see no reason to kill someone. From a game perspective, I am strongly against no-lynch D1. While flavor is typically just that, flavor, I have no idea how much credence to give it in this game. How should we approach this?

@bler - will get to your post, was waiting for a vote count for confirmation before moving my vote (or lack thereof at this point)

Yay! Someone fears my mighty scum game!

That makes...let's see, carry the 4...take the square root...

Yeah, pretty much just you. ;)

No signs of struggle and no tracks that I could discern.

Again, demonic wolves from hell.

repent all ye sinners

Going to start with the matter that bothers me the most, the votes on Ixam.

Emphasis added - this is my biggest issue with a votes on Ixam. He's not lurking, he didn't stop participating. We are not lynching a lurker, he hasn't joined the game. (trent - not saying you said that, just making a point)

Nacho and bler said it well here:

Here:
(emphasis added)

And here:

Unless Ixam shows up and warrants it, I will not vote for him. We learn nothing from the death a player who has never posted. It's a shot in the dark. I believe it's best to let the mod deal with it.

I have no indication that I was personally on the "scene" (where the body was discovered). I attended the gathering at Community House after the initial bell ringing. I own a large home and small farm (animals and livestock) where a large portion of the food for the village is prepared. It's not just me, several members work or volunteer in the kitchen and help around the farm. My main focus is cooking but I can help with any of the farm related type chores.

I like Fergie's idea that we all work/sleep in shifts.
