Ties are like kissing your sister. Where's the blood???

At least if you kiss your sister in the right company blood will be drawn. This is more like hiding under the covers playing party cake with your sister at a tea party.

Me laddies, I may be but a village gowl, but that role description appears a wee bit banjaxed for all of the "excitement". Besides, aren't hobgoblins typically seen as gammy? I know I wouldn't be associating with the likes of 'em

Translation please? Anybody speak weirdo?

 

[morninqlory]

This is all I got out of it (Urban dictionary):

Gowl
Derogatory term for female genitalia often used in the south of Ireland to slag somebody or to emphasize irritation in relation to objects.

Originally, hobgoblins were spirits that lived in the home who would help out with odd tasks if you fed them. Leprechauns though, they were vicious. They'd grant you three wishes if you caught them, but they always had ways of making the wishes go really badly.

In real life:

"I may be the village idiot, but that role description seems kind of messed up for all of the excitement about it. Besides, aren't hobgoblins usually seen as nasty? I know I wouldn't want one on my side."

Also urban dictionary translates gammy as useless... not nasty but I guess nasty makes more sense in this context?

 

[vetmedhead]

I've seen it used a lot to mean disgusting/infected (like "That's a gammy cut in your leg") and I figured from context that nasty probably made slightly more sense than useless.

Either that or STL was calling PBC a useless waste who he doesn't want on his side lol.

 

[kaydubs]

I've heard people call grandmothers "gammy."

I enjoy where the conversation went. Thanks STL.

 

[kaydubs]

We should probably blame @StartingoverVet for EVERYTHING

 

[kaydubs]

Tentatively night closed, results pending.

 

[kaydubs]

#modabandoment I'm doing write-up, PMs, all that stuff. Patience, I implore you. Sleep, press that snooze button.

 

[Crayola227]

There may be method in my madness though.

Some attempt at method at least, it appears we have no choice to pass on lynch votes, even those on a first night when an innocent may be killed. If I don't have some method to work from then I might as well play pin the random lynch on the donkey, either that or eenie, meenie, minie moe, and that seems so unfair.

As one person put it, sometimes you gotta just kill people and learn from their autopsy as they say. (cute phrasing I got from last JDH game)

Crayola. She hasn't checked in at all today, actually. @Crayola227, you okay?

I am OK. Sorry guys, my sleep sched is like crazy. I assed out (what I call it for funsies, passed out) soooooo early last night. I woke up a couple of hours ago, had a lot of thread to catch up on. I will likely go back to sleep for a few hours.

Thanks for the concern guys. I have crazy sleep/wake and I tend to be less active in posting early on, as I don't know all of you and I'm still new to some of the mechanics, so it makes it hard at first for me to contribute. For example, I never would have caught Finn's posting restriction as I didn't know that was a thing.

I did take some pretty detailed notes of the thread, and later I'll share when I feel more organized and rested from sleep. As we accumulate more data I promise to be more active.

all PMs done. hmoo is working on write-up methinks.

Thanks for the advice, and to everyone else who's been so helpful (and put up with me on my first ever game cycle ) I had a lovely evening out with hubby and family, but it was also a little taxing for me so I may not be as enthusiastically energetic this cycle - I think I'm going to do what a few people have suggested and just take a deep breath and sit back and read through stuff more and realise I have to take a chance sometimes.

The residents awoke with hope in their hearts that last night didn't bring the devastation that they had been becoming accustomed to. Shimmering Lake seemed to glisten happily as the winds carried the scents from Mystical Forest across the land. Unbeknownst to most, there were a select few of magical beings who had taken it among themselves to try to stop the evil that had plagued their peaceful lives. As individuals emerged from their cottages, hollowed trees, and other adorable little dwellings, they heard a screech from the basin of the mountains. They rushed to find their friend the villager Troll, @finnickthedog, soaking in his own blood under his newly discovered bridge. He had been absolutely ripped to shreds.

Meanwhile, a young child asked their mother when they got a new front yard statue. As she looked outside, puzzled, she saw a grandeur stone statue facing away from their dwelling. Was that... ? Could it be? No, she shook her head and thought that is was just a practical joke. How was it possible that a living being be turned to stone? Impossible.

[hazelmoo]

I has many sads about the Troll.

It's funny how attached you become to your players and their roles

 

[Trilt]

Has someone in BBC's group chatted her up? I hope she's not incapable of posting on the thread for the whole game.

Went back through the lynch yesterday, and I'd be curious to know MJ's reasoning for his initial vote for AM:

Lynch AM

 

[LadyOtheFarm]

So, no wolf kill, but a villager assassin took out our bridge troll Finn?

And someone else was turned to stone? (Gorgon or basalisk or...) So, do we have a new silent person today or what are the effects of being made stone? And, would it be a wolfy move or a protecting one?

how do we know finn wasn't a wolf kill? sorry if this is super obvious and I'm just not seeing it..?

I took this to mean no evil forces worked last night.

Unbeknownst to most, there were a select few of magical beings who had taken it among themselves to try to stop the evil that had plagued their peaceful lives

And this to mean that a villager acted and tried to remove evil. The next sentence is a screech and finding Finn's shredded corpse.

I don't agree with this interpretation. How does residents "hoping" that there wasn't devastation mean there were no evil actions last night? How do you turn "a select few" into a villager assassin? I think that could easily just be fluff about (village) people using their night actions.

It would be a very bizarre village assassin kill to have jumped on Finn N1. Nothing about her yesterday screamed scummy.

I didn't like any of the other choices, as they are people that typically die early game and I felt like cutting them some slack.

This is why I was questioning why to begin with, I really didn't get feels from finn that would warrant a villager assassin kill so early. But I'm also just trying to learn how to play the game, so I thought maybe there was something obvious. I can see both sides of the argument, but I still think that a villager assassin may have been better off holding onto that ability longer and using it on someone that was more questionable.

I don't agree with LoTF's interpretation either, but I can see how she got there. But the fact that it said "select few" rules out villager assassin to me. Unless there is some weird mini-group mechanic of villager assassins who get to pick someone to attack at night. In which case, where was the wolf kill?

So no. I think this was a straightforward wolf kill.

What I *am* confused about is the statue. Who is that? The roster shows no changes other than Finn's death. So... who is the statue? Wait and see who has been silenced today and find out if that's what it was a reference to?

 

[Trilt]

I didn't like any of the other choices, as they are people that typically die early game and I felt like cutting them some slack.

Hmm. PBC, BBC, Kam, Nyanko, STL were the contenders. PBC in lead, BBC with two votes, others one. I agree with you regarding PBC and STL, but don't generally feel like the others die that early. (no clue on nyanko, obviously).

But I was just curious, since you hadn't posted any justification with it. 🙂

Roster-wise, Crayola moved locales (fairytale fields -> valley of death... what a change), but I doubt that's related to statue-ing. Figured someone would chime in about that (or be non-existent) and we'd work it out through the day.

yeah, I agree that it's most likely not related to the statue situation (which I am referring to as the statuation in my mind

) didn't finish that thought before I hit post, but I was just pointing out the roster change lol

That's why I was questioning my interpretation. But, the hope wasn't what led me to the conclusion as much as:

Shimmering Lake seemed to glisten happily

All the other write ups talk about the evil and hopelessness in the air.


I agree that using an assassin ability at this point in the game doesn't make sense. Again, that's why I asked. If you have a better read, I'll take it though.

I think Trilt gave a 'better read' already - that it was just a reference to villagers using their abilities as per normal.

I mean, we don't have farm animal and children pieces strewn across the land. The loss of a single troll is perhaps a bit of an upgrade. 😉 (sorry Finn)

 

[kaydubs]

You guise don't even know. We (the mods) were so happy about the troll. You just.....you don't get it.

 

[PrincessButterCup]

I didn't get any notification from the mods that anyone interacted with me or seerd me last night. I was hoping someone would look into me so we could lay those lynch votes to rest.

I tried to help someone last night, but the person I chose did not require help. I hope they got some kind of notification, so maybe that can corroborate my ability? If not, bummer all around.

 

[genny]

But I miss the questions! And the write-up didn't say what Finn's ability was, so maybe it wasn't an upgrade.

I'm wondering if the stone thing is defensive. What if there were two attacks last night?

 

[nyanko]

I think finn was pretty much put out of her misery tbh, if the question thing was part of her role.

 

[LetItSnow]

We're interpreting Finn's green color to mean villager, right?

Anyway if someone was turned to stone, that sounds like Medusa.
