Werewolf CLXVII - The Wheel of Time - Game Over

[Glengoyne]

Where is Vaimes? I was about to say he doesn't seem concerned, but...He has the cloak. So we may be headed for a no lynch?

[Glengoyne]

very much a thinking out loud question there.

[path12]

Count?

Hi, still town.

That means out of [Narcizo, Zinto, cheekimonk, timmae, path12, Glengoyne, Coffee Warlord], there's like four scum. Unless it's like a three person scumteam and one or two Third Party roles. Whatever. Four scum! That's a lot of mafia on one wagon. An entire group of scummy scum, ripe for the lynching.

I don't have the strongest reads in the world, but as fellow Aiel I'm going to assume Coffee Warlord and path12 are town. That leaves five: [Narcizo, Zinto, cheekimonk, timmae, Glengoyne].

Vote Zinto

I'm just going to sheep this.

cheekimonks push on me objectively makes sense, even though it's also the most opportunistic push to ever exist, so. That's super annoying.

Ideally, since there are some independent roles thrown into the mix, a mislynch toDay won't end the game.

This is all I really have to say. Just ignore the part about path being Aiel. I kinda think he's town, but I'm waffling.

I fully understand that from town's POV, I am very, very likely to be a Wolf. It sucks, but there really isn't anything I can do about it.

Better luck toMorrow.

[path12]

FUCK THIS GAME DRIVES ME CRAZY

UNVOTE COFFEE WARLORD
VOTE VAIMES

Cushion. cheekimonk, I hope you're right.

[Shoveler]

Day 4 Vote

Vaimes [5] - Cheekimonk (760), Glengoyne (820), Timmae (874), Zinto (946), Path (956)
Zinto [2] - Coffee Warlord (871), Vaimes (878)
Coffee Warlord [1] - Raven (737)
Cheekimonk [1] - Britrock (916)

[cheekimonk]

I've considered that he has the cloak. A) I'm hoping "very hard to kill" doesn't equal "very hard to lynch" (it could be hard to NK the player, but not to lynch. B) If I think he's dark, I can't skip on him because he has an item at this point. It works or it doesn't, but I've got to go with my strongest feel.

[Vaimes]

Also, don't like. Immediately jump on cheekimonk toMorrow. If he's town, it's going to be super easy to push a mislynch on him.

If he somehow gets revealed to be a Wolf, welp.

[Vaimes]

Um.

It says two kill attempts are required to force me out of the game. I have no idea if this extends to lynching.

[Raven]

If the cloak prevented NK, Chief would still be alive

[cheekimonk]

I think my speech re: the Ter'Angreal should establish my village bona fides. If not, don't know what I could say.

[Shoveler]

DEADLINE

[Vaimes]

It also says I'm "tough to target in an attack," which implies being killed in the Night.

I guess we'll see!

Will definitely not jump on Cheeki, no matter what goes down here.

No. Because Vaimes stole it first.

[Autumn]

With next to little help available from the White Tower, male channelers on the use, and the Shadow growing bolder every night, the situation is desperate for those who try to uphold the Light. Clearly the Dark One’s finger touches the world, and yet you are no closer to finding his servants. Fingers point to the Aiel, who seem to have suffered little so far. Perhaps they are the nation harboring the Darkfriends. Vaimes is pointed out as the chief suspect, and the Aiel agree to bring him to justice. He disappears inside a chief’s tent in the Waste and does not emerge again.

Vaimes was an Aiel and a Villager. He served the Light.

[Autumn]

Night 4 has begun. Action deadline is 10 pm EST.

[path12]

I suck at werewolf.

[cheekimonk]

Welp...we know the wolves are lucky as hell as they stumbled into a triple kill: Vaimes happens to take the Warder's cloak, the Warder's lover dies, and we lynch Vaimes for that clearly suspicious activity. Damn.

When you put it like that. Wow...

[cheekimonk]

Not to mention their luck at us skipping one lynch altogether with Grover's move if self-preservation (of course, we could have lost 2 villagers from that tie so we had a very tiny bit of luck).

[timmae]

So strange... I cannot fathom how we lose 3 guys on a play like that. WTF. Worst game of WW ever. First we have EF's play as seer... why even try a stunt like that? Day 2 was ugly. But then Grover's self vote and nighfall. And that's not even the strangest play, that goes to Vaimes. Are we trying to lose this f'king thing?

[Raven]

Here is what i have with pairings that have not been eliminated.
For those with 4, any 3 within the group also can potentially work together.

I simply eliminated combos that have eliminated htemselves by their actions

Narc, Zinto, Glen, brit
Narc, timmae, Glen, brit
Narc, CW, glen, britt
Zinto, Glen, path, brit
cheeki, timmae, path, Glen
timme, path, glen
path, glen, cw

Deadline

[Autumn]

Far off in the Waste, an Aiel steps out of his tent to greet the robed woman who approaches from the east. Her face is ageless, her robe hemmed with yellow. He nods, putting his hand into his sash and pulling out a small figurine. He hands it to the Aes Sedai and she smiles, holding it in one hand and examining it carefully. Lifting her hand in farewell, a bar of white light shoots from her, and the Aiel blinks out of existence. Laughing, the Aes Sedai turns, creating a portal, and stepping through it.

[Autumn]

Another Aiel moves through the strange wooded lands to the east, leaving his home in the Waste far behind. He carries a case given to him by his Chief, who says it was given to him by his Chief, and has passed through Aiel hands for generations. he does not know what it contains, it is not his to ask why. It is simply his to find the Car’a’carn and help him lead the battle to the Dark One. Perhaps lost in thought, perhaps weary from days of travel, he does not notice the stranger until he is nearly upon him. The Aiel pauses, cautious. In this land he does not know friend from foe, and any man he meets could be the one he seeks. The man smiles, offering a greeting, but then with a wave of his hand the Aiel is pierced with a jet of flame and collapses to the ground. Pushing the corpse into a ravine, the man picks up the case, absentmindedly, opening it casually as he goes on his way. What he finds inside though stops him in his tracks. He stares at it in shock, and then begins to laugh.

[Autumn]

“In the Stone of Tear, soldiers stand guard around an inner room. Inside there is pillar upon pillar, but nothing moves, the room lit only by the glow of a crystal sword which hands in the center, seemingly suspended in air. Footsteps sound, and the guards move aside for the Lord Defender of the Stone, a Tairien lord. Behind him follows another lord of Tairen, the two closing the doors behind them as they enter. The men approach Callandor, stopping short of the invisible wards which surround it. Hesitantly, slowly, one puts out one hand and then curses as a flash of light stops him. As he stands and watches, an opening appears in the air beside him, and a traveler, a man of Ilian appears from within. The Ilianer steps through, the portal closing behind him. Shortly after, another portal opens and the Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah appears. The man’s form changes, the Ilianer disappearing and a tall dark haired man standing in his place, his face a mask of arrogance. Staring for one moment of frustration at the sword hanging before them, the Forsaken shakes his head and turns away. Opening the case, he shows it to the others. Reaching his hand inside, the Forsaken removes the Horn of Valere and holds it up, the relic glinting in the light of Callandor.”

[Autumn]

“It’s time to roll the dice”

Those dice all came up with the dark ones eyes.

The game is over, the shadow has been victorious.

[timmae]

Holy kripes!!

[Autumn]

“Out side in the streets of Tear, a hooded woman glances up at the Stone, and a flash of blue glints on her forehead. Grabbing tightly to the arm of the man next to her, she pulls him quicker down the road, the two fleeing through the night towards the city gates.

“I found you just in time,” she mutters, more to herself, and the man looks at her, his face a mix of bewilderment and confusion.

“Me? I’m just a man. Not even highborn. I don’t understand what you want with me, you, and Aes Sedai--”

“Silence,” the blue sister hisses, glancing in every direction. “You don’t understand the danger we’re in. This city is not safe. I don’t know what city is now, but this one is not.” Pulling the boy along, she glances at him sideways, seeming amazed herself. “You are not highborn, and maybe that’s for the best. They won’t know where to look for you. But they will look. they will look. Because you, my boy, are the Dragon Reborn.”

[Autumn]

At the base of the Stone of Tear a figure lurks, moving from shadow to shadow. He looks up at the tall fortress and sniffs, and then shakes his head. Glancing in every direction he suddenly stares in one, looking far away in the direction of the Aes Sedai and the young man. Tilting his head to one side he stares and stares. Lifting a small figure of a man out of his pocket, he rubs it, as if for luck. Then, nose nearly to the ground and hurries forward into the dark.

[cheekimonk]

Translation of the first post: I gave timmae the Ter'Angeal. He turned out to be a Black Ajah.

[Autumn]

At the beginning of the evening, numerous behind the scenes transactions occur.
Cheekimonk hands a small statue of a woman to Timmae.
Glengoyne hands a ruby hilted dagger to Timmae.

A few hours later there is some curious skulking going on throughout the world.
Path12 has searched Raven’s estate for the Horn of Valere.
Zinto had searched Cheekimonk’s estate for the Horn of Valere.
Britrock88 has gone over the events of Raven’s life to determine whether he could be the Dragon Reborn.
Timmae has used the one power to produce a protective barrier around Zinto..

Coffee Warlord was killed by Zinto.

Britrock successfully found the dragon reborn, and escaped with Raven during the night. Raven was unaware that he was the true dragon.

With the lynching of Vaimes, the Warder’s cloak was randomly distributed to Glengoyne. Glengoyne also held the stone of Tear, which he gained after killing Fontisian during night one.

With the final night kill on Coffee Warlord, the Horn of Valere now rests in the possession of Path12, Coffee was unaware that he was in possession of the horn as it was merely a trinket he had claimed during his conquests.

Narcizo failed to find or kill the Dragon, but remains alive.

[Autumn]

That's all folks.

Your Shadow:
Zinto
Glengoyne
Timmae
Path12

Your Padan Fain:
Narcizo

Your unaware (until rightnow) Dragon:
Raven

Your Blue Ajah:
britrock88

[timmae]

Autumn... shoveler... awesome job. The story and setup was unreal. The adaption of WoT to WW was very well done and thought out. Awesome stuff fellas!

[timmae]

Still confused... did Narc win? Raven? Both?

[Vaimes]

That was probably the worst game of mafia I've ever played, as far as mislynching goes.

[Vaimes]

I am so sorry, me stealing the Warder's Cloak really fucked us over.

[Glengoyne]

Nicely done mods. The shadow was lucky indeed. Crazy lucky

[cheekimonk]

Autumn & Shoveler, that was insanely awesome. I only wish our play had been up to the standards of your efforts.

[path12]

WOO!!

Great write up at the end there Autumn/Shoveler. Fun game, thanks!

And congrats to my fellow shadows, you guys are good and I enjoyed eviling with you.

[Coffee Warlord]

I take solace that I had zinto and path pegged. Jeez.

[Autumn]

Sorry, Victory Status:

timmae, zinto, glengoyne and path12: Win by gaining parity with the Light
Narcizo: Loses by failing to kill the Dragon
The Light: Loses by failing to eliminate The Shadow
Tinker: Loses by failing to convert those left to the Way of the Leaf
Factions: All end tied, and fail to reach victory conditions.

[Shoveler]

For those that haven't read the books.. If you do alot of driving for work or whatever, I would recommend the audiobooks for this series.

Vaimes, you couldn't have known and, In turn, we can't be blamed for raising eyebrows at such a coincidence. As already mentioned, the wolves were almost impossibly lucky this game. Not that they didn't play with skill, but so many things fell right into their laps.

[timmae]

Great effort on this one zinto, path and glen... you guys rock!

Cheeki, vaimes and grover... we put you guys in very difficult situations. The fact that you were posting more at the end was the start to what could have been a turn in the game... I applaud the efforts. The luck was on the side of evil is all.

[Glengoyne]

Actually vaimes. If you hadn't snaked the cloak, I'm wondering if chief would have dodged the kill plus maybe recognized Path. That made what would have been a turning point into a landslide for the shadow.

You could have had no way to know that and avoid it, but Wow.

[Autumn]

Especially for those who don't know the books, what the end writeups tell you is that:

The Shadow won by killing of Coffee Warlord, leaving it 4-4.

They ended up in possession of Callandor, the Horn of Valere, and the female ter'Angreal, as well as the Warder's Cloak and the Ruby-hilted Dagger. Yikes.

Timmae was the Yellow Ajah, but secretly the Black, and was handed the ter'angreal tonight.

He wouldn't have seen his attacker, but he would have survived, along with MartinD, so it would certainly be a different game there. That was huge, obviously, and terrible luck for the Light. but it certainly wasn't the only such terrible luck they suffered.
