Lay of Leithian Mafia: Game Over!

[Míriel Therindë]

The Tale of Beren and Lúthien

(Hint: This link may be useful to those who need or desire flavor info, or a refresher course thereon)

---

I

A king there was in days of old
ere men yet walked upon the mould.
His power was reared in caverns’ shade;
his hand was over glen and glade.
His shields were shining as the moon,
his lances keen of steel were hewn.
Of silver grey his crown was wrought;
the starlight in his banners caught,
and silver thrilled his trumpets long
beneath the stars in challenge strong.
In after days when to the shore
of Middle-earth from Valinor
the Elven-hosts in might returned,
and banners flew and beacons burned,
when kings of Eldamar went by
in strength of war, beneath the sky,
then still his silver trumpets blew
when sun was young and moon was new.
Afar then in Beleriand,
in Doriath’s beleaguered land,
King Thingol sat on guarded throne
in many-pillared halls of stone.
There beryl, pearl and opal pale
and metal wrought like fishes’ mail,
buckler and corselet, axe and sword
and gleaming spears were laid in hoard.
All these he had and counted small,
for dearer than all wealth in hall
and fairer than are born to Men
a daughter had he, Lúthien.

(The Lay of Leithian, lines 1-30)

Story Woven By: Míriel Therindë (Plum)
Backup Mod: LlamaFluff
Game Reviewed By: LlamaFluff, ortolan, Percy

BaM Ruleset

1.) Votes must be

bolded

and at the start of a line. If we don’t see it, we wont count it. If we think it's a vote, it will count as a vote, and vice versa.

2.) Unvoting is nice, but not necessary.

3.) Once a majority is reached, that person is lynched.

4.) If there is no majority at deadline, there will be no lynch for that day.

5.) Day 1 will have an approximated deadline based on when the game starts – it will be no less than 10 days. All following days will have a deadline of 10 days.

6.) Nights will have 48 hours maximum. Any night actions not submitted will simply not happen – the thread should be open 48 hours following a deadline lynch.

7.) Do not talk about this game outside the thread unless your role allows you to.

8.) When you die, you are dead. Stay that way.

9.) Do not edit posts. Do not use invisible text. Do not use small text.

10.) Do not quote any communication from the mod (that includes PMs) in the game thread.

11.) If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time, please let me know. See rule 12.

12.) If you do not post for an entire gameday or the number of days which constitute a deadlined game day (in this game, 10) - whichever comes

second

- you will be modkilled. Further, you will be blacklisted from any future games using the BaM ruleset. Keep in mind that this procedure only applies to flakers - if you find your own replacement (you are encouraged to contact, or ask the Mod to contact, those who /inned to replace before the game started), the above does not apply and you may legally replace out.

13.) If you notice mistakes aside from the vote count, PM me. Bold notification about vote count issues in the thread.

14.) Play to win.

15.) Play with the spirit of the game in mind.

15.a.) This means ASK before you do something you think I might question. Questions are good. Modkills are bad. See rule 12.

16.) Have fun. Remember that everyone playing are actually real people and treat them as such.

17.)

This grey

is our color (which I am using for flavor-related purposes, not to copycat off Vi. Honest). Don’t use it.

18.) Night actions are determined using Natural Action Resolution

In cases of contradiction, the first action submitted will resolve first.

Game-Specific Rules

1. Every character is assigned a race. When an Elf dies, he/she does not flip role or alignment but is moved to the

Halls of Mandos

, which functions as a pool of resurrectable players who cannot post, vote, use abilities, or participate in the game while they are there. On any Day when at least one players is in the Halls of Mandos the live players may vote to Revive a player there (bring them back into the game, allowing them to post, vote, and use abilities again) and may additionally vote to Destroy a player there, which will permanently remove that player from the game and cause them to flip role and alignment. Up to one player may be Revived and one Destroyed each game Day. Voting is the same as Lynch voting. Once a majority to do either is reached, that choice is locked in until the lynch. After the lynch, no votes for either Revive or Destroy will have any effect. Characters of any other races will move

Beyond the Circles of the World

(and for you flavor nitpickers, the Void isn't within the Circles of the World, now, is it?), and flip role, race, and alignment. There may or may not be exceptions to these conventions.

2. Every player has the capacity to possess the Silmaril. When a player does so, possessing the Silmaril will grant him or her an extra or bonus ability. If the player possessing the Silmaril is killed, the killer will gain possession of it; if the player possessing it is lynched, a random member of the lynch mob will gain possession of it. There may or may not be exceptions to these conventions.

3. Because all Role PM flavor is given in quotes from the Silmarillion, you may post your flavor text and you may post your character art. You may not post your abilities but may paraphrase them.

[Míriel Therindë]

Sample Role PM

PLUM:

Welcome to

The Lay of Leithian Mafia

. You are

Míriel Therindë, Neutral Broideress (Moderator)

of the race of

Elves

.

"But after she had stood in the twilight of Lórien a long while in thought, remembering her former life, and all the tidings that she had learned, her heart was still sad, and she had no desire to return to her own people. Therefore she went to the doors of the House of Vairë and prayed to be admitted; and this prayer was granted, although in that House none of the Living dwelt nor have others ever entered it in the body. But Míriel was accepted by Vairë and became her chief handmaid; and all tidings of the Noldor down the years from their beginning were brought to her, and she wove them in webs historial . . ." (Morgoth’s Ring)

Group Abilities:

• Group Abilities
  - Group abilities do not count to any limit on Night Actions performed.

Silmaril Bonus Ability:

• Silmaril Bonus Ability
  – When you hold the Silmaril, you gain an extra or bonus ability, which may be either passive or active.
  If the ability is active, it does

  not

There are no players in the

[Míriel Therindë]

I'll be V/LA until Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning due to Passover. I'm going to ask LlamaFluff, my bachup Mod, to maybe throw your guys a votecount or two in the interim if he gets the chance.

[Míriel Therindë]

Here I am Zito dearest. Yes, I'll be updating the votecounts and declaring the Day 1 official deadline sometime tonight, so . . . oh, I did promise some flavor, didn't I?

---

"There came a time near dawn on the eve of spring, and Lúthien danced upon a green hill; and suddenly she began to sing. Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed." (Silmarillion, 165)

I promise I'll change stuff up when I post flavor next time, but oh, spring . . .

Carry on, all.

[Míriel Therindë]

I'm going to set deadline for

Tuesday April 13, 7:30 PM Eastern Time.

I'll get you guys a countdown timer sometime soon.

[Míriel Therindë]

I'll be prodding

FeFiFoFum

and

xofelf

, then. If I missed any other requests, I should see them when I double-check later tonight. Please remember that this is a BaM game and that prodding is done only by request.

Also,

Nachomamma8

replaces

PaltryExcuse

, effective as soon as he confirms and/or posts in this thread.

[Míriel Therindë]

Kmd4390 has been prodded; all votecounts have been updated.

[Míriel Therindë]

The countdown timer to deadline can be found here. Due to an unforeseen school field trip, I may not be available to lock the thread until perhaps an hour after deadline hits. You may continue to talk, but no votes placed after deadline hits will be counted.

[Míriel Therindë]

Sorry, friends, I accidentally set the countdown for 7:30 a.m. instead of 7:30 pm. My mistake. You have slightly less than 24 hours until deadline hits. My apologies for the mistake and any inconvenience it may have caused. The corrected countdown timer can be found here.

What has been woven in the tapestries . . .

"Thus Gorlim died a bitter death,
and cursed himself with dying breath,
and Barahir at last was caught
in Morgoth’s snare, for set at naught
by treason was the ancient grace
that guarded long that lonely place,
Tarn Aeluin; now all laid bare
were secret paths and hidden lair.
But Morgoth’s guile for ever failed,
nor wholly o’er his foes prevailed,
and some were ever still that fought,
unmaking that which malice wrought.
Thus men believed that Morgoth made
the fiendish phantom that betrayed
the soul of Gorlim, and so brought
the lingering hope forlorn to naught
that lived amid the lonely wood;
yet Beren had by fortune good
long hunted far afield that day,
and benighted in strange places lay
far from his fellows. In his sleep
he felt a dreadful darkness creep
upon his heart, and thought the trees
were bare and in a mournful breeze;
no leaves they had, but ravens dark
sat thick as leaves on bough and bark,
and croaked, and as they croaked each neb
let fall a gout of blood; a web
unseen entwined him hand and limb,
until worn out, upon the rim
of stagnant pool he lay and shivered.
There saw he that a shadow quivered
far out upon the water wan,
and grew to a faint form thereon
that glided o’er the silent lake,
and coming slowly, softly spake
and sadly said, “Lo! Gorlim here,
traitor betrayed, now stands! Nor fear,
but haste!"

(The Lay of Leithian, lines 241-279)

[Míriel Therindë]

Sorry, I meant to tell you that I was having guests this Friday-Saturday and wouldn't be around. Anyway. You'll notice that I kinda screwed up the Revive/Destroy mechanics specifics when I posted the first count of Day 2. The first post rules stand, and the Revive for

farside22

and Destroy for

xofelf

have been locked in. Votecounts have been updated, possibly with minor errors like the wrong number of players not voting. Sorry for any inconvenience you may have suffered.

[Míriel Therindë]

"Now Thingol made men in the beech,
in that great tree, as far as reach
their longest ladders, there to build
an airy house; and as he willed
a little dwelling of fair wood
was made, and veiled in leaves it stood
above the first branches. Corners three
it had, and windows faint to see,
and by three shafts of Hirilorn
in the corners standing was upborne.
There Lúthien was bidden dwell
until she was wiser and the spell
of madness left her. Up she clomb
the long ladders to her new home
among the leaves, among the birds;
she sang no song, she spoke no words.
White glimmering in the tree she rose,
and her little door they heard her close.
The ladders were taken and no more
her feet might tread Esgalduin’s shore."

And so the story continues . . . bitterly? Bittersweetly?

"Far in the North neath hills of stone
in caverns black there was a throne
by flames encircled; there the smoke
in coiling columns rose to choke
the breath of life, and there in deep
and gasping dungeons lost would creep
to hopeless death all those that strayed
by doom beneath that ghastly shade."

Given that FeFiFoFum reached Destroy threshold before all of this became clear, I will not modkill him or reset the Destroy votecount. By the time this was requested, he was functionally completely dead, with only the actual flip delayed until the lynch scene is posted.

Well, there goes one of those Dues Ex Machina Eagles . . .

"Then they lifted up Lúthien and Beren from the earth, and bore them aloft into the clouds. Below them suddenly thunder rolled, lightnings leaped upward, and the mountains quaked. Fire and smoke belched forth from Thangorodrim, and flaming bolts were hurled far abroad, falling ruinous upon the lands; and the Noldor in Hithlum trembled. But Thorondor took his way far above the earth, seeking the high roads of heaven, where the sun daylong shines unveiled and the moon walks amid the cloudless stars. Thus they passed swiftly over Dor-nu-Fauglith, and over Taur-nu-Fuin, and came above the hidden valley of Tumladen. No cloud nor mist lay there, and looking down Lúthien saw far below, as a while light starting from a green jewel, the radiance of Gondolin the fair where Turgon dwelt. But she wept, for she thought that Beren would surely die; he spoke no work, nor opened his eyes, and knew thereafter nothing of his flight. And at last the eagles set them down upon the borders of Doriath; and they came to that same dell whence Beren had stolen in despair and left Lúthien asleep." (Silmarillion, 182)

[Míriel Therindë]

Little beginning of the Day edits/news:

1. LlamaFluff, my gracious backup Mod, resolved yesterday's lynch and everything related to it for me because I knew I'd be away from the computer, and I really need to thank him for all his help, as everything I asked him to do went off without a hitch, and I really couldn't be running this game properly without his occasional but crucial assistance.

2. I made a mistake and accidentally didn't list Steam-Powered Shovel as in the Halls of Mandos, where he most assuredly is. That means there are 17 players alive and it will take 9 players to lynch, revive, destroy, and no-lynch. That will be edited in to my previous posting as necessary. Thanks for your patience.

“Be he friend or foe, or seed defiled
of Morgoth Bauglir, or mortal child
that in after days on earth shall dwell,
no law, nor love, nor league of hell,
not might of Gods, not moveless fate
shall him defend from wrath and hate
of the sons of Fëanor, who takes or steals
or finding keeps the Silmarils,
the thrice-enchanted globes of light
that shine until the final night.”

[Míriel Therindë]

After yesterday's bad news (to me, at least - aren't I supposed to be his grandmother, after all), here's something we can all agree is a very good thing.

"All his court were cast down into slumber, and all fires faded and were quenched; but the Silmarils in the crown in Morgoth's head blazed forth suddenly with a radiance of white flame; and the burden of that crown and of the jewels bowed down his head, as though the world were set upon it, laden with a weight of care, of fear, and of desire, that even the will of Morgoth could not support. Then Lúthien catching up her winged robe sprang into the air, and her voice came dropping down like rain into pools, profound and dark. She cast her cloak before his eyes, and set upon him a dream, dark as the Outer Void where once her walked alone. Suddenly he fell, as a hill sliding in avalanche, and hurled like thunder from his throne lay prone upon the floors of hell. The iron crown rolled echoing from his head. All things were still."

Something wicked this way comes . . .

“Then Sauron sent Draugluin, a dread beast, old in evil, lord and sire of the wolves of Angband. His might was great; and the battle of Huan and Draugluin was long and fierce. Yet at length Draugluin escaped, and fleeing back to his tower he died before Sauron's feet; and as he died he told his master: 'Huan is there!'" (Silmarillion, 174)

Hello again.

"They bore back Beren Camlost son of Barahir upon a bier of branches with Huan the wolfhound at his side; and night fell ere they returned to Menegroth. At the feet of Hírilorn the great beech Lúthien met them walking slow, and some bore toches beside the bier. Then she set her arms about Beren, and kissed him, bidding him await her beyond the Western Sea; and he looked upon her eyes ere the spirit left him. But the starlight was quenched and darkness had fallen even upon Lúthien Tinúviel. Thus ended the Quest of the Silmaril, but the Lay of Leithian, Release from Bondage, does not end."

“In that moment Huan leaped from the thicket upon the back of the Wolf, and they fell together fighting bitterly; and no battle of wolf and hound has been like to it, for in the baying of Huan was heard the voice of the horns of Oromë and the wrath of the valar, but in the howls of Carcharoth was the hate of Morgoth and malice crueller than teeth of steel; and the rocks were rent by their clamour and fell from on high and choked the falls of Esgalduin.

Even the happy stories are, if you think about it, downers . . .

Quoth Morgoth: “Eilinel the fair
thou shalt most surely find, and there
where she doth dwell and wait for thee
together shall ye ever be,
and sundered shall ye sigh no more.
This guerdon shall he have that bore
these tidings sweet, O traitor dear!
For Eilinel she dwells not here,
but in the shades of death doth roam
widowed of husband and of home --
a wraith of that which might have been
methinks it is that thou hast seen!
Now shalt thou through the gates of pain
the land thou askest grimly gain;
thou shalt to the moonless mists of hell
descend and seek thy Eilinel.”

Game over. Commentary and PMs to follow &c.

"But no wizardry nor spell, nor fang nor venom, nor devil's art nor beast-strength, could overthrow Huan of Valinor; and he took his foe by the throat and pinned him down. Then Sauron shifted shape, from wolf to serpent, and from monster to his own accustomed form; but he could not elude the grip of Huan without forsaking his body utterly. Ere his foul spirit left its dark house, Lúthien came to him, and said that he should be stripped of his raiment of flesh, and his ghost be sent quaking back to Morgoth; and she said: 'There everlastingly thy naked self shall endure the torment of his scorn, pierced by his eyes, unless thou yield to me the mastery of they tower.'"

"He did not fear death, but only captivity, and being bold and desperate he escaped both death and bonds; and the deeds of lonely daring that he achieved were noised abroad throughout Beleriand, and the tale of them came even into Doriath. At length Morgoth set a price upon his head no less than the price upon the head of Fingon, High King of the Noldor; but the Orcs fled rather at the rumor of his approach than sought him out. Therefore and army was set against him under the command of Sauron,; and Sauron brought werewolves, fell beasts inhabited by dreadful spirits that he had imprisoned in their bodies." (Silmarillion, 164)

Behind closed doors they sat, and Beren told of the death of Barahir, and of all that had befallen him in Doriath; and he wept, recalling Lúthien and their joy together. But Felagund heard his tale in wonder and disquiet; and he knew that the oath he had sworn was come upon him for his death, as long before he had fortold to Galadriel." (Silmarillion, 169)
  
  "Thus befell the contest of Sauron and Felagund which is renowned. For Felagund strove with Sauron in songs of power, and the power of the King was very great; but Sauron had the mastery, as is told in the Lay of Leithian." (Silmarillion, 171).
  
  "In the pits of Sauron Beren and Felagund lay, and all their companions were now dead; but Sauron purposed to keep Felagund to the last, for he perceived that he was a Noldo of great might and wisdom, and he deemed that in him lay the secret of their errand. But when the wolf came for Beren, Felagund put forth all his power, and burst his bonds; and he wrestled with the werewolf, and slew it with his hands and teeth; yet he himself was wounded to the death."

  Therefore he summoned Beren, and even as Lúthien had spoken in the hour of his death they met again beyond the Western Sea. But Mandos had no power to withhold the spirits of Men that were dead within the confines of the world, after their time of waiting; nor could he change the fates of the Children of Ilúvatar" (Silmarillion, 187).

The Silmaril, Third Party Shifting Killer of the race of Primeval Jewels

.

"As three great jewels they were in form. But not until the End, when Fëanor shall return who perished ere the Sun was made, and sits now in the Halls of Awaiting and comes no more among his kin; not until the Sun passes and the Moon falls, shall it be known of what substance they were made. Like the crystals of diamond it appeared, and yet was more strong than adamant, so that no violence could mar it or break it within the kingdom of Arda. Yet the crystal was to the Silmarils as is the body to the Children of Ilúvatar: the house of its inner fire, that is within it and yet in all parts of it, and is its life. And the inner fire of the Silmarils Fëanor made of the blended light of the Trees of Valinor, which lives in them yet, though the Trees have long withered and shine no more. Therefore even in the darkness of the deepest treasury the Silmarils of their own radiance shone like the stars of Varda; and yet, as were they indeed living things, they rejoiced in light and received it and gave it back in hues more marvelous than before." (Silmarillion, 67)

Passive Abilities:

• Possession
  - At all times you are alive, you must be in the possession of another player. If the player possessing you is successfully killed, you will revert to the possession of the killer. If the player possessing you is lynched, you will revert to the possession of a random player on the lynch wagon. There may or may not be other ways you may be transferred from the possession of one player to another. Because you cannot be in possession of yourself, you have no Silmaril Bonus. You begin the game in the possession of Anon.
  
• Neighborhood
  - You will have any time talking powers with whoever possesses you at a given time. You must post under the name Silmaril; your possessor will post under his or her username. You may converse with Anon here starting pre-game.
  
• Safeclaim
  - You know that Galadriel of the race of Elves is not in this game:
  
  
  
  
  

  "A sister they had, Galadriel, most beautiful of all the house of Finwë; her hair was lit with gold as though it had caught in a mesh the radience of Laurelin." (Silmarillion, 61)
  
  "Finrod was with Turgon, his friend; but Galadriel, the only woman of the Noldor to stand that day tall and valiant among the contending princes was eager to be gone. No oaths she swore, but the words of Fëanor concerning Middle-earth had kindled in her heart, for she yearned to see the wide unguarded lands and to rule there a realm at her own will." (Silmarillion, 84)

  
  
  "Galadriel his sister went not with him to Nargothrond, for in Doriath dwelt Celeborn, kinsman of Thingol, and there was great love between them. Therefore she remained in the Hidden Kingdom, and abode with Melian, and of her learned great lore concerning Middle-earth." (Silmarillion, 115)

Active Abilities:

• Kill (Special)
  - One during the game, you may target another player to kill him or her. This action is preferably submitted in the format
  Kill: Playername
  . You may submit this at Night or during the Day, in which case it will resolve with the lynch. This ability expires after the first time you use it.
  
• Possession (Special)
  - If you ever die or are killed in any way, you will be removed to the
  Halls of Mandos
  . At that time you must PM me a player who has never possessed you previously; if you fail to do so, I will randomly choose a player from those who meet that criterion. The next Night that player will gain possession of you and you will move back to the game proper (that is, you won't be dead anymore).
  
• Possession (Special)
  - At any time during the Day, you may (not must) PM me the name of a player who has never possessed you previously. You will revert to the possession of that player. This ability resolves with the lynch.

You win when the game ends AND all players who have previously possessed you, but not the one who does so currently, are dead.

For example, if at the end of the game Player A, Player B, and Player C have previously possessed you and you are now in the possession of Player D, you would win if A, B, and C are dead but D is alive. You would not win if any one of A, B,and C are alive.

One person posting/giving permission is enough, I think.

[Míriel Therindë]

As I stated in the commentary, the game mechanics coupled with the number of Elves screwed over Morgoth's Mafia hard. They needed a super-kills which superceded the Mandos stuff plus some Roleblocking power plus a more guaranteed Rolestealing power for Morgoth and maybe a better basic shapeshift for Sauron plus reduced Town power (Universal Backup in a setup like this, especially, was a Bad Idea). Strangely, I think the Kinslayer's Mafia lost not because the setup was against them but mostly through their play. If you saw their quicktopic, a lot of Cobalt's early lurking was intentional and did not help matters.

Fakeclaim sharing within scumteams did not work smoothly, thogh it could have been used to advantage much better; they had a few good ones which never made it into the game at all.
