    Just on point 3. It wasn't a usual role in that they could be made evil and also their turning increases the kill count. Frodo had to be killed to avoid this.

    Just thinking Barbara said about Sauron being able to see the room today. Maybe Sam shouldnt post there or does he now have access to a seperate room occupied by Sam?

    Did you do an FFA? I see you voted Des but can't find your ffa. Assume boards was down at the time? Care to reason it out now?

    Fwiw if i was playing at the time I would have voted barbara hands down.


    I wasn't able to get on to put an FFa in. My thinking yesterday had been

    Holly for playing very weird (but that self resolved before I got to post)

    I didn't have a third really at that point

    On the point you make. Granted its not a typical role. However the role claimer had suggested a different approach. Its also interesting how there's a little bit of a CFD there with at least 3 votes landing in the last 10 minutes or so. Not sure entirely how to interpret yet though

    Sorry for the prolonged absence folks, had some RL stuff going on. I'm here now though and have spent the last 2.5 hours reading back through the thread. My head is absolutely spinning but I think I have a decent handle on things. Not sure if we're doing an FFA today or how this majority voting thing will work but from the notes I've made I think most of my suspicions were on Brendan, Clodagh and Mary.

    Brendan for being 100% nailed on certain that Babs was lying about the Frodo claim yesterday (post #482) and Mary for her general posting style, a lot of nothing being said (eg post #812 today), Clodagh for the post last night where she said she believed Babs was telling the truth but was going to lynch her anyway. Bull**** wolfy excuse to jump on the Babs bandwagon.

    And I know I wasn't here last night to discuss but christ almighty village. You lynched the role claim? FFS

    I said it last night, it was no normal role claim. We weren’t simply lynching a rolled goody. Sauron can get the ring and get more powers or they can convert Frodo to nazgul. We tried to get more information from Barbara but she either didn’t know or felt that it was best she didn’t answer. We didn’t know the risk of letting her live and she couldn’t clear it up for us. But there were also inconsistencies in her answers and reason for coming out. I still can’t work out her strategy but maybe it will be clearer at a future time.

    But it’s worked out better for the village that Frodo was killed because Sam has those powers (presumably) and he is hidden.

    Mary, this is the first time in the game that you make any reference to Barbara and it's 12 hours after you have voted for her. In neither this nor your post above Re: time of vote, do you give any indication as to why you voted for her.

    What's the deal here?




    Probably half my posts have also came since then. I read through a lot before voting early (around 5pm) before heading out. I can't say I was sure on her tbh but on day 1 thats not unusual when feck all had happened.



    In retrospect of course it looks different but I remember questioning (not on thread) Babs interactions with some like Conor as perhaps being staged but now I think she was just poking at people. Unfortunately we can't really suspect the people she was poking at (think Frank was the other) as what got her killed was the seemingly unnecesary coming out.



    Still think it odd that Legolas would kill at munch time myself but and that our vig would target the outed Hobbit in the first place to be honest.

    Vig I think only has a kill during night phase. I'm assuming they killed then to avoid the risk of the vig being munched and leaving Frodo to be converted

    Barbara (13) - Gertrude, Mary, Brendan, Doris, Eva, Liam, Oisin, Frank, Vernon, Abigail, Derry, Tegan, Wendy

    I'd be inclined to think that someone in the above is Team Sauron/TWK and I have taken out Frank and Tegan just for the purpose of finding a member of that team.

    Probably other baddies in there too.

    Do you not think you'd be readable switching from good to bad the morning of a failed munch? Converts definitely aren't impossible to spot, as it is I'd take Boromir on our side and our chances catching him if converted.

    Nah I think Frank may be a good lynchee based off Franks posts, but I don't want to lynch him yet anyways

    Maybe not, I guess it'll depend on the when too.

    Of course, they do in Wendy's hypothetical which is why I mention it, and its most important and easiest to catch if he's been converted and still alive at lylo, if he converts and can still look like a villager after spending a few days on both sides then fair play but most players can't do that. Its especially apparent in an Alpha situation like this where Boro suddenly finds out the identity of Sauron and the Witch King but has to try not treat them differently and its in his interests to keep them alive too.
    Conor WW wrote: »
    Why the mention of me and not Phil, given he was the first to call it out. And there's no wagon, you're top of my list alright but that means very little this early in the day

    It is hollow reasoning but would you not think at this stage in the game, with zero kills its a very suspicious post to make

    Did you find that other post Jake?

    Have you thoughts on any of the players bar your coasty FFA? Youve the most posts in game but the vast majority are just conjecture on mechanics or offering ideas or to collate ffas, you don't seem to do any questioning or really interact with other players, Clodaghs FFA had it well

    Hopefully this works out, quote tags from a few of Conors posts were messed up. (I left out his last post as I can figure out who said what with the quote tags)

    Babs leaned Conor wolf last night when on the block, wanted to see why. I dont see much however he engaged with most of our dead or poisoned players although Im sure a few others will have done the same but Babs wouldnt have known that when she through his name out there!

    Evening all, hard to visit Middle Earth in the day light hours. Didn't expect any actions today so was surprised to see Holly go.

    Not sure what to make of Babs reveal, strange to have a reveal of such a major character so early in the game especially as she didn't seem to be under pressure and was revealing to save herself. If we don't lynch her tonight I don't think we can leave her any longer than tomorrow night to ensure she is not converted. Babs if you are I assume all your powers transfer to Sam or is there any exceptions?

    This post sounds so jolly when all around were having a WTF moment. And she is looking for a bit more info in what happens with her powers.

    Have to agree with Doris, tbh. If Frodo dies before becoming a Nazgul, the ring and all its powers pass over to Sam

    If we lynch Barbara and she's telling the truth, then we lose nothing except a villager

    If Babs is a baddie, then score one for the village, and we can also look at why she came out and who she might have been protecting

    #FFA1

    Barbara
    Desmond - as explained already
    Frank - his 'I am not Balrog' statement was strange. Has generally been helping to try and out other baddies - but the SK would anyway

    Yes, I did find it Conor and it’s one of those posts that screw a good person over as easily as nab a baddie. For now I’m keeping it to myself but I have it noted.

    You may say my FFA was coasty but I’m not just going to go along with everyone else for the sake of it. I have my concerns about Abigail and that’s who I voted for. The others need to up their game whatever their alignment. I was never going to vote Barbara last night but I will be looking at all those who did at some stage today.

    Where I’m sitting, yesterday was a new type of day what with having a lynch first. I’m used to basing my suspicions off who was killed, who interacted with who and more importantly, who isn’t interacting with who.


    Fair re the post, your FFA was coasty, Henry had 3 posts, Des 7 and Abi 6. Atleast 12 players had been FFA'd before you did yours, so I don't think anyone who posted one was going along for the sake.



    If you base your suspicions off that why was yesterdays FFA the lowest 3 posters, with over 550 posts you could come up with nothing based off anyone interacting or not with anyone else and just name 3 low posters with no reasoning whatsoever.

    To be fair I think I see Legolas point of view on this - better to do the important thing while you know you can rather than hope everything works out later.

    Frodo going is bad and good. We should still have the ring and its tricks and we've removed a potential baddie so meh, I guess we take the positives

    Hey Jake, do you have any reasoning for the other two? Thanks for the Abi reply, matched up somewhat with my line of thought on two of her posts.

I looked at the player post count and those were right beside her (including Liam) and wanted them to come out to play. Also, even though I had been active all day, I didn't have a bad lean on any of the other players.

    Today is different - I have 2 on an FFA already.

    Evening as well

    I am voting babs. Was voting before the reveal because I thought she slipped on the Brendan interaction. I still feel like shes a wolf even after the claim and subsequent posts.

    I reckon holly fulfilled a win condition. She probably had to get a certain amount of people to rhyme with her and I'd say roughly 20-25% (myself included) of the players did so. So, that's probably how she did it

    Liamo whats your thoughts, you have said nothing since failed lynch where you were nailed on as Babs being a wolf. Your posting prior to this was completely inconsequential.

    Tonights feeling already like its gonna be rough tbh. So many posters offering nothing and some of ones I have suspicions about are the ones actually at least trying to engage somewhat
