Lay of Leithian Mafia: Game Over!

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I don't think xofelf was going to claim before the deadline anyway. I have no problem with kmd's decision.

Drippereth, I find that putting forth arguments tends to help getting the lynches you want. You might want to consider that next time.

Vote Count 27: Lynch

Not Voting (1): xofelf

With 25 players alive it'll take 13 to lynch and 13 to no-Lynch.

There are no players in the

Halls of Mandos

, so right now there are no

Revive

or

Destroy

counts.

For reference, this is the final Votecount for Day 1.

[FeFiFoFum]

I don't feel that I have contributed enough to be on this train, but I will help insure the lynch.

vote: xofelf

[J-Scope]

Jscope, so they are both lurker wagons?

I don't believe this is what was said. Where'd you draw that conclusion from?

if we were lurker lynching fefifofum would be dead ages ago I'd have thought.

cool story bro.

[Iecerint]

^ That's one beyond the lynch AFAIK.

In this game and your completed game you checked you weren't heavy on arguments. You said you were a gut player in that game.

You sound most like Parama (scum) from pizzaria, complaining about gut reads on him with nothing else attached.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Is it really that weird that I'm frustrated by the fact that a significant number of people are calling for a lynch without having any way of defending myself? I offered to give examples of town play for them to compare me to, but no one was interested. (And my one completed game on this account is only marginally relevant; games with 7 players are very different from games with 25.)

If I were scum and the town caught me based on gut reads, I could live with that; that's the town's job. Getting lynched as town I find far more frustrating.

[xofelf]

Somehow i figured that while i was busy puking my brains out most of yesterday and today that the wagon on me would have become a lynch.
And i AM going to claim, though it won't do me any good either way.
I am vanilla town, Thingol's servant. Which also makes me an elf(irony what?) so in the Hall of Mandos i go. Those of you who have played with me before know how much i hate roles like this and how little surviving Day1 means to me if i can't do anything other than vote anyways.

... i hate roles like this and how little surviving Day1 means to me if i can't do anything other than vote anyways.

With townies like this, who needs scum?

[Cyberbob]

This feels a bit anticlimactic, somehow.

Night Actions must be submitted within 48 hours of this post; I'll round it to 8:30 pm Eastern Time on Thursday the 15th.

[Míriel Therindë]

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)

Elmocrates, Gorlim, Town Vanilla

of the race of

Men

was killed and is removed

Beyond the Circles of the World

.

farside22

was killed and is removed to the

Halls of Mandos

With 22 alive, it will take 11 to lynch, revive, or destroy and 11 to no-Lynch. Deadline is ten days from now.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Shame Elmocrates wasn't an Elf.

Vote: Jack

Revive: farside22

Destroy: xofelf

[Budja]

Vote: FFFF

Revive: farside22
Destroy: xofelf

[Jack]

Destroy:xofelf

I assume reviving farside is the best thing to do.

Elscouta and SPS are the scummiest. But

Vote:Nachomamma

You were very quiet yesterday even for someone who replaced in part way through.

[FeFiFoFum]

Vote: J-Scope
Revive: Farside22
Destroy: Xofelf

I have evidence on J-scope that is all I have to say about that one..

[SpyreX]

Revive: Farside22
Destroy: Xofelf

I'm fine with this - an interesting counterpoint to watch in the future is would scum be ballsy enough to kill someone so they get revived?

[MehPlusRawr]

Well, of course we should resurrect Farside. I guess we should destroy Xofelf too, we lynched her and want her dead I guess.

Revive: Farside22
Destroy: Xofelf

[curiouskarmadog]

I have evidence on J-scope that is all I have to say about that one..

uhhhh...what?...if you have something to go on...this needs to be addressed.

revive: farside.

[FeFiFoFum]

roll information that I am just softclaiming.

[curiouskarmadog]

roll information or flavor info?

[FeFiFoFum]

Role info on ability.

[Budja]

unvote, vote J-Scope

Its a bit early for scum gambits, I believe FFFF.

[Iecerint]

Revive: farside
Destroy: xofelf
Vote: J-Scope

.

I'll support FFFF in the short term until/unless it becomes clear there's nothing there. SX brings up a good point on possible interesting play choices from Elfscum, but I don't think that's the default interpretation at present.
