Free Will: the ability to make unconstrained choices.
Follower: someone who is guided by another person or group.
Poor Haxx He has clearly not had free will in this game, and has most certainly been a follower. His integrity was challenged by the existence of an impostor, and he has been forced to follow the current of voting every single day. He almost had a chance to make his own choice for once today, and even that was denied him. The final indignity was that he wasn't even given a chance to cast his bandwagon vote himself, the mod decided to cast it for him. That made him mad. And mad people do things out of character. No one might care what his opinions were, but he had opinions. In fact, he had lots of thoughts that no one minded. He had noticed EvilSquirrel, Jayna, and the like scurrying to and from the farm house, even though animals were not supposed to be there, so he figured he knew exactly where to find any wolves still around. He was going to go in there, and he was going to confront them once and for all. He was finally going to stand up and be a
sheep man contender someone.
There is something about a crazy thought; once you have that idea in your head, no matter how out of character, it is near impossible to push it aside. So it was with Haxx. He got up from his stool, put on a nice lambskin coat
eek
and headed over to the farmhouse, no hesitation, no worries, not even a little bit worried about what he was going to do. He opens the door to the house with a violent pull and rushes inside. As soon as he gets in the door swings slowly, squeakily closed, shutting out all the outside sounds, and light, and even warmth. It is cold inside here, lit only by dark candles made in hideous shapes. He sees one of the mentors who eyes him strangely, and then another mentor, who seems to show just a little glimpse of remorse, and then finally a third mentor who just breaks out hysterically laughing before leaving in her CAR. Haxx thinks to himself "3 mentors? 3 mentors? That is so freaking unfair. I only have one. "
Haxx, leaves his thoughts on the injustice of role distribution, and mentor distribution aside and continues inside the farmhouse. Satanic symbols are written on all the walls, and he swears he can hear chanting, and that the walls are covered in bile. The smell isn't too bad surprisingly - It smells like napalm, you know that smell, that gasoline smell.... it smells like... victory. Some day this game is gonna end - Haxx can't seem to stop his mind from wandering, it must be the atmosphere in here. Luckily, Haxx's resolve is unbreakable and he continues to the back where he thinks he hears some sounds like explosions, or screeching tires or something. He goes through a set of those swinging doors you see in a Wild West Bar and he has entered what he can only describe as a playroom. There are toys EVERYWHERE. And giant TVs and video games, and pool tables, and ping pong tables.. even some girly things like My little Pony and stuff. And then there are whips, and wheelchairs? and all sorts of other crazy items like arrows, and guns, and High wood? This is the coolest place that Haxx has ever seen. He wants to be here, he wants to be here so badly. "So THIS is what the wolf-room/den is," he thinks to himself. It is what so few in this game have ever seen. And there is a real villanous wolf in the wolfroom, playing Grand Theft Auto V on the giant screen TV, 60 freaking inches, and surround sound, and those cool chairs with the speakers built in. The wolf is so caught up in its game that it doesn't notice haxx slowly come up to it on his four paws and doesn't notice anything but its game when Haxx taps its shoulder.
"WTF," he roars. "Look what you made me do.... hours of work wasted. ROAR!!!! Wait a second, what are you doing here, you can't be here. I am going to tear you limb from limb..."
Haxx had rehearsed this scene in his mind many times on the way over here, how he was going to confront the wolf, and force the wolf to reveal itself, and how he, Haxx, was going to be the villager hero…. but somehow, seeing the wolf-den had been the one thing that had unsteadied his resolve. Who (except LIS) could resist such a life? Instead of the confrontation he had planned he instead blurts out "Convert ME. Please .... Please... I will follow you everywhere.. .Do whatever you say. Vote for whomever you want. I will be your "yes" sheep. Please take me away from the farm. This is the life I should be having..." and on and on he blabbered. and baa-ed. And begged. And pleaded.
Throughout the whole discourse, the wolf just kind of looked at him funnily, as if the world had shifted and no one had told the wolf the new rules. When Haxx finally stopped baa-ing away, the wolf just gave him a smile and said. "You have pluck little sheepy. To be honest, I never took much notice of you before, except that you had the same alias as my evil little squirrely friend. In another game, you and me, we could be friends... but in this one....."
The wolf rose up from its gaming chair and this time gives him a horrible smile, the kind of smile that stops every voluntary impulse you have.
"please, Please Mr/Mrs/Dr Wolf, don't do this..".
"Sorry kid. It's nothing personal. It's the rules. But don't worry... this won't hurt a bit".
