Werewolves of Ireland - Game Thread

[Lawpy]

why were you all so against the shelter lynch, like was barks actually that sketchy to you that you would vote there over shelter/is shelter so clearly village to you that you would push a vote off of her? because after reading everything, shelter seemed way more sketch than barks to me. mel i kinda get since shelter's him PM partner, but also, by the time mel voted there was a 2-3 vote gap between shelter and barks already, so not really sure why that switch was necessary.
right now I am suspecting a wolf between the 3 of you. not sure who i suspect most yet though.

Because at the time, barky felt worse than shelter for me, and those voting for shelter were giving me unpleasant feels that I didn't want to vote with them.

do you still feel ok about shelter?

Mixed feels

Lol that makes much more sense than the first post.

Side note, did anyone else notice how there are three places where people go to die? (Pls don't yell at me for talking about mechanics, this seems important, right?)

Mag Mell, where Dina went, was (In Irish mythology, Mag Mell was a mythical realm achievable through death and/or glory. Unlike the underworld in some mythologies, Mag Mell was a pleasurable paradise, identified as either an island far to the west of Ireland or a kingdom beneath the ocean.) according to wikipedia

Tir Na Nog, (Irish mythology Tír na nÓg ([tʲiːɾˠ n̪ˠə ˈn̪ˠoːɡ]; "Land of the Young") or Tír na hÓige ("Land of Youth") is one of the names for the Celtic Otherworld, or perhaps for a part of it. Other Old Irish names for the Otherworld include Tír Tairngire ("Land of Promise/Promised Land"),[1][2] Tír fo Thuinn ("Land under the Wave"),[1] Mag Mell ("Plain of Delight/Delightful Plain"),[1] Ildathach ("Multicoloured place"),[3] and Emain Ablach (the Isle of Apple Trees). Similar myths in the northern Celtic cultures include these of Annwn, Fairyland, and Hy Brasil.) according to wikipedia-- this seems to be the same as Mag Mell? (AM went here)

Tech Duinn (MJ went here) Celtic Underworld, Tech Duinn is a representation of Ireland with its green dense - and sometimes dark - forests, its lakes, its castle ruins and its rivers.
Previously kept by Donn with an iron fist until his betrayal during the Black Death, Tech Duinn is now the duty of The Morrigan. (MJ was the Morrigan--who's duty it is-traditionally-to keep souls from leaving the underworld)

So, these all kind of seem the same now that I have done some research, but its still better to share info than hoard it, right? Maybe its not as important as I thought, but idk, if you think its stupid you don't need to read it... It was just a thought...Ignore it if you like

Wait, I'm rereading this again and apparently, you're saying Mag Mell and Tir Na Nog are the same place? I'm not sure why the same place would have different names though and if it's the same place, why would Mag Mell be renamed to Tir Na Nog?

5-2 win! 9 Pin Nightmare takes full control of first place!

It was a day for communication, that's for sure. Some folks chattered happily away to new friends, some kept their silence, some spoke out loud for all to see, some elves...? prattled nonsense in strange accents, and some whispers were heard on the whistling wind. It was odd and a little sad, then, that the one person who might've been at the very center of it all was cast aside.

Cliodhna sat by herself on a little outcropping of stones, and wondered why she was not seen as more useful to her friends. She had been a goddess in the South, and had become legendary for granting the power of persuasive speech to one of the mortals who beseeched her for help. Since she had joined this ragtag band of warriors, she had tried to get them to start speaking with each other more clearly, but had largely been met with failure. It was no surprise, then, when the group's discussion turned accusatory. She resolved to go back to Cork the next morning, where she was loved and respected... but instead was banished to the other realms for her perceived crimes.

per google translate, it says:

...close

this is an excerpt of the poem Cúirt An Mheán Oíche (The Midnight Court) by Brian Merriman

English translation of these lines:

And Six: Keep on the track of the old greybeards
And be sure to clear Ireland of all such weeds.
That's it, I must get going, I've appointments to keep,
Many a mile to go before I sleep
The journey before me won't brook delay
Unfinished business here will wait a new day
I'll be back, which to some is not good news

 

[sheltermed]

Is your signature Peter Griffin? lol

I don't know what you're talking about here which makes me feel dumb and unfunny.

I'm assuming it's related to my so-called uninformed-ness and perhaps a potential (but inoffensive) jab at my (lack of) intelligence.

 

[PippyPony]

wait, so deadline is 7 pm EST not 8 pm?

General Setup & Rules

• 
  
  • Unless otherwise specified, lynch close will be at 10pm Eastern and night close will be at 10am Eastern. The first cycle of the game will not follow this timeline.

Tinfoil Koolaid- That feels like a message from the dead

Eta- this is about the poem with vmh’s translation

 

[allieh8607]

Did notice one thing while I was catching up....

so Mel, Lawpy, and Allie are defending shelter... but only Mel is in her group. I'll take it for now...
unlynch shelter

Woah, watch your words. I am most certainly -not- defending Shelter. Mel was pretty adamant about his PM partner not getting lynched and so I voted for the next closest lynch candidate. I haven't really formed much of an opinion about Shelter yet, but that's just how the events unfolded yesterday.

~~~

Tonight, fearsome creatures out of nightmares battled each other in a test of strength and will.
The most evil and most cunning proved triumphant.

On the Leitrim coast near the Arroo Mountains, a curious beast swam in a clear mountain lake. Not quite an otter, and not quite a dog, it existed in the liminal place between legend and reality. It was a grumpy critter, known to snap at those who came close, and it was said that it had actually been known to munch on the local residents from time to time. Deep down, however, it had something of a loyal streak to those who it deemed to be worthy of protection. When an agent of the heavens traveled through County Leitrim performing miracles, the otter-hound was impressed by the man's strong faith, and saw something of itself in the traveler. It vowed on the spot to always stand in the way of those who might wish harm upon the man. Unfortunately, its loyalty and fortitude was put to the test, and although it snapped and splashed with fearsome aggression, it was no match for the old magic it now faced.

Dead and sent to Tech Duinn is

Spoiler: Crayola

@Crayola227 , The DOBHAR-CHÚ, who protected the holy from coming to harm.

Further south, the clear blue days of spring bring forth rich clovers and rampant wildflowers that blanket the gently rolling emerald slopes of Kerry. When the sun goes down, however, the colors fade to gray, sucking the life from the hills and replacing the blossoms with the deeply rooted anxieties of our subconscious.

Tonight was no different, as monsters of the night set out for each other in the darkness. A headless soldier galloped towards a sly figure, whose clandestine activities were almost snuffed out by the rider. As the horseman's disembodied mouth opened to begin his booming call of death, however, an otherworldly howl sliced through the lower pitch, severing it like the horseman's head. The sound oscillated and echoed through the hills, banishing the decapitated spirit to the beyond.

Also dead and sent to Tech Duinn is

Spoiler: Melchizedek

@Melchizedek , THE DULLAHAN, who could kill a player of his choosing each night, provided he had called their name on the thread AND the player did not have enough gold to bribe the stroke of death away.

I still gotta catch up on some posts from yesterday evening, but won't have the chance till later this afternoon.

I'm thinking last night's second kill wasn't Mel because he didn't "say crayola's name" on thread since he wasn't able to post

I mentioned in our PM that he could still vote, so maybe he could still perform actions, just not on thread. Anyone else think that’s possible? Could he have a delay mechanism where he could still kill someone a day or two after saying their name? I’ll have to ISO and see who he had mentioned. MJ might have definitely been a Mel kill.

 

[Lawpy]

I’m not sure, but apparently the common pattern pertains to Ulster for some reason.

Also why are Cray and Mel in the same graveyard but MJ and AM are in different graveyards?

Aye just saw that was barks' ability. Must be some other tomfoolery.

 

[cubsrule4e]

Why?

Because I remember him addressing MJ. I just looked them up:

Mel mentioned Barks and MPM by name in thread.

He @ addressed Cray, VMH, MJ, Shelter, MsP, and myself.

Barks and MsP were lynched. AM he never addressed or mentioned unless I missed it, and AM and MJ died on the same night. So he could have done MJ and/or Cray, I guess no real way of confirming that, but knowing those were possible kills for him.

Edit: Also mentioned Paws and Lawper by name in thread.

What day did he mention Cray? I am just not sure that it would work without some sort of delay mechanism. I agree that MJ could have been a Mel kill though maybe. Just not sold on Cray, but thats pretty impossible to prove unless someone else dies with an extra kill mechanism.

I also want to mention that I am super weirded out by all of the night kill choices. It seems like a lot of the veteran players are getting killed off early. This makes me wonder if the wolf pack is kind of nooby... maybe one veteran included
