"You heard what happened over the river?" the travelling merchant sputtered.

"In Dakkadorf? Something about murders, I think," the newly elected Bräumeister of Lammheim replied, distracted as he was by carefully counting out pfennigs to pay the merchant for thirteen oaken barrels. "There was supposedly a wanted man hiding out there, although I've heard that about our town, too, and yet no murders here."

"Nein nein!" the merchant hissed, leaning in conspiratorially. "Not just murders, mein Herr, but a terrible curse. The Dakkadorfers, it is said, were whittled down by a pack of werewolves who even now gnaw their bones and drink up the meager beer they left behind."

The Bräumeister of Lammheim laughed and handed the merchant a full purse of coins. The merchant, still distracted by the thought of werewolves, only weighed the purse in his palm before tucking into his belt. He was normally quite a grasping fellow, given to checking and double checking that a payment was in order, but the rumor of Dakkadorf's fate truly disturbed him. To think, for the first time in ages the Count had ordered beer from another village!

"We have no time for such superstitions in Lammheim," the Bräumeister said. "Whatever is going on in Dakkadorf, they failed to deliver the Count's beer on time. Now it's our chance to make an impression. So danke sehr for the barrels. We will put them to good use immediately and good day to you, mein Herr."

And with that curt dismissal, the merchant went off in a huff. The Bräumeister, meanwhile, got about his business. He had heard a few of his fellow Lammheimers talking similar nonsense about werewolves in the last few days not to mention the old story about an outlaw among them. Well, it was time to buckle down and get to brewing. This could be Lammheim's big chance. He whistled merrily to himself as he went to round up a few men to bring in the barrels.

The other villagers found his corpse by the fountain the next morning. It had been clawed and chewed pretty badly but nothing was missing that couldn't be found a few yards off. Whatever did it was after sport not food. It went around Lammheim like lightning -- the curse of Dakkadorf must have spread here!

The Rules

Alignment & Victory Conditions

There are three alignments: Villager, Werewolf, and Hunter. Only you know your alignment at the beginning of the game.

There is at least one werewolf. There may be one Hunter. Everyone else is a Villager. Villagers may also be Mystics.

The Villagers win when every werewolf is dead or when they have brewed thirteen finished barrels of beer.

The Werewolf/werewolves win when the number of living Werewolves equals the number of living Villagers (not counting the Hunter).

Until the Hunter kills a Werewolf, he wins by preventing the Villagers from brewing thirteen barrels of beer until Werewolf victory (assuming he survives). If the Hunter kills a Werewolf, he becomes a Villager including for the purposes of victory conditions. Note: this means the Hunter and Werewolf can both win.

Day, Night, and Lynching

Each turn is split into a Day phase and a Night phase.

During the Day phase:
- all living (not yet eliminated) players may post in the thread
- no dead (eliminated) players may post in the thread
- all living players participate in electing a Bräumeister (by a 60% majority of votes, rounding up to the nearest integer)
- all living players may vote to lynch any living player (by a simple majority of votes)

Note: only a majority (whether simple or 60%) of votes actually cast and NOT players able to vote is necessary.

The Day phase lasts for 24 hours in real time. At that point, the moderator will tally votes (if any) for lynching and electing a Bräumeister. The moderator will announce the results, at which point the target of the lynch, if any, will be considered dead (eliminated). The moderator will announce the alignment and role of the lynched player. If a Bräumeister has been elected he may then send a PM to the moderator appointing any living player as a Guard for any other living player (see below).

During the Night phase:
- all dead players may post in the thread
- no living players may post in the thread
- the Werewolf or Werewolves must send a PM to the moderator with the name of the living player they want to kill that night (one per night regardless of the number of Werewolves); if the moderator only receives one PM, the player named in that PM will be considered the target
- the Mystic, if any, may send a PM to the moderator with the name of the living player he wishes to investigate (see below)
- the Hunter, if any, may send a PM to the moderator with the name of the living player he wishes to kill (see below)

The Night phase end at the moderator's discretion but not generally before he has received all PMs from players with Night powers and also no longer than 24 hours. If a Bräumeister was elected during the previous Day phase, he must PM the moderator about Guard appointment by the end of that Night phase or forfeit the appointment.

The moderator will announce who, if any one, was killed during the Night phase at the beginning of the next Day phase. The moderator will only reveal if the Bräumeister appointed a Guard if the Guard is killed.

The Bräumeister & Brewing Beer

If a Bräumeister is elected, each living player may declare that they are harvesting either hops or barely during that Day phase. Each player harvests one point of that ingredient for that Day phase. Note: only declared harvesting generates points.

At the end of the Night phase, the moderator will subtract any points harvested by a Werewolf, by the Hunter if he killed during that Night phase, and by anyone appointed by the Bräumeister as a Guard during the previous Night phase. Of the remaining points, each matching pair generates one finished barrel of beer at the beginning of the next Day phase. Unmatched points (leftover ingredients) persist.

The Villagers win (and the Werewolves and Hunter lose) if there are thirteen barrels at the beginning of a Day phase before a Werewolf victory.

If a Bräumeister is not elected, no resource points can be harvested during that Day phase. The Bräumeister must be re-elected every Day phase but the same living player can be elected multiple times in a row or otherwise.

Lycanthropy

Once per game, a Werewolf may convert one other non-Werewolf player into a Werewolf. This is accomplished in lieu of targeting to kill. The target of infection must be successfully targeted during two Night phases, although those phases need not be consecutive. After the second Night phase, the targeted player loses any role assigned at the start of the game and becomes a Werewolf for all purposes, including victory conditions.

If there is more than one Werewolf, one may target to kill while the other targets to infect. No matter how many players have the Werewolf alignment, they can only attempt to kill one target per night.

The Guard

At the beginning of the Night phase, the Bräumeister elected during the immediately preceding Day phase may secretly appoint (by PM to the moderator, as above) any living player as a Guard protecting any other living player during that Night phase. If the Werewolf or Hunter attempts to kill the protected player, the Guard dies instead. If the Guard is killed, the moderator will announce his death at the beginning of the following Day phase along with the identity of the player he was assigned to protect. The Werewolf or Hunter may kill whoever is appointed Guard as if that player was not the Guard.

The Guard cannot generate harvest points on the Day phase following guard duty.

The Mystic

This is a secret role; only the person assigned the role knows he has this role until he is killed. Each Night phase while the Mystic is still alive, he may send a PM to the moderator with the name of one living player. If the Mystic survives that Night phase, the moderator will send a PM in response with the alignment and role, if any, of that player. This includes the Guard role.

The Hunter

This is a semi-secret role; only the person assigned the role knows he has this role until he is killed or his identity is revealed. Each Night phase while the Hunter is still alive, he may send a PM to the moderator with the name of one living player. If that player is not being protected by the Guard, that player will be killed and his alignment revealed the following morning. If the Hunter kills a Werewolf, he immediately becomes a Villager and his identity as the Hunter is not revealed by the moderator. The moderator will reveal the identity of the Hunter at the beginning of the Day phase following the death of the second Villager the Hunter kills. If the Hunter kills, the resource he collected does not count.

Alignment and Role Revelation

The moderator will announce the alignment and role, if any, of a player at the beginning of the Day phase after the he is killed.

Questions

Living players may only post a question to the moderator in the thread during the Day phase and dead players may only post a question to the moderator in the thread during the Night phase. Any players may send a PM to the moderator with a question at any time.

Good Luck~

Dear lord, a Werewolf? IN OUR TOWN?!

Well, I never.

But the show, as they say, must go on.

Fellow Lammheimians, I humbly request that you elect I as the new Braumeister. My family has brewed the finest, er, brew known in the village for generations, only halting briefly when my father mysteriously died whilst I was away serving in our beloved Count's army.

Along with my well known pedigree for brewing, the Count has rewarded me with a number of his, shall we say, surplus armaments with which a guard may protect our fine homes from attack by any mongrels which may skulk about at night and I would be willing to handsomely reward any who is willing to protect our fellow villagers.

As well, were it to become necessary to end the life of one accused of being the beast, I will not hesitate to carry out justice myself.

I care for this village, as well as all those who live in her, and take a threat to the continuance as a personal affront which must be dealt with harshly and quickly!

Vote Edward Platuan the Fourth. A Braumeister who cares!

Fellow villagers! Our count needs beer, and we need to move quickly. I hear a killer is afoot. If we brew beer quickly enough, the count will send his guards to protect us! I'd like to put my humble request in to be your braumeister, as it runs in my family. My father has passed on his delicious recipes for dark stouts, and all men of noble stature love a dark brew. Elect me, and I'll get this made quickly to ensure our survival.

Plantuath, what beer graces your kegs? Mine include a delicious vanilla bourbon stout and other dark brews that would put the likes of Guinness to shame. Can you stand up to that?

My family's estates are known for its proper Irish style stouts, porters, and an ale that is so beloved by the Bishop himself, he makes a visitation to bless the first batch each year.

One might say tis the Holy Grail of Ales.

Ah, so we're both men of the dark beers then. Well then, the Count will be blessed regardless of which of us brews it. Unless you're the beast, and you plan to poison him. Isn't your avatar the green ranger? Tommy was a traitor to his friends, and switched sides so many times, how do we know whether you're on our side or playing both sides? You almost had me with your noble talks...for shame, I'm not so easily fooled.

Or at least it was until recently, I'm sure. You seek to conceal your real loyalties with a new avatar...

Ah, but from his original betrayal, he rose from the ashes like a phoenix, not just to lead, but to lead newer rangers and to mentor and train future rangers as well.

And he returns once again this year to lead a team composed of the greatest rangers of legacy to a grand victory in defense of their home!


Have I no less chance to prove myself honorable and loyal?

Aye. Should our fellow villagers elect you, I'll harvest grain for you. But do me the honor of the same should they vote me in. Also, if we're offer names for ourselves, my fellow villagers can address me as Timothy Wastel. Tim, for short.

Aye, I shall serve the village's best interests either way and shall faithfully serve the Braumeister should I not myself be elected.

I have updated the OP to include your characters' names.

I think you should vote for me as Braumeister, a vote for Bob Bobbington is a vote for the Reinheitsgebot. A beer that will delight anyone whose lips it touches, from the town drunk to royalty like our beloved count.

I have also studied with the monks and botanists across our great continent and I have mastered the skill of growing, culturing, and harvesting only the finest hops that man has ever known. I will put my skill to the use of whoever brews our beer, but I urge you to vote for me so that I can put my knowledge of this fine crop to the best use.

Whatever we do, we should not let one of those guys from the British Isles brew our beer, that would be horrid...

Well, right now their are three of us of noble nationalism (aka, not piss-warm beer drinkers) lobbying for the role. However, friend, Edward and I both brew delicious dark beer. What is your specialty? *eye squint*

Also, if you want further reason to vote for me...I live in Connecticut, right down the road from Rhode Island, where the Pautucket Patriot brews beer. He is, of course, the Willy Wonka of beer. Willy Wonka made amazing (the best) chocolate. I brew stouts which taste like a most luxurious chocolate beer. It goes full cycle into awesomeness. Logic-it is there.

I just heard the news from Dakkadorf that my slightly mentally handicapped cousin Mattatius Wardson was one of the victims.

That makes me ANGRY.

I, MOARAVIUS FOFISTIN WILL REIGN TERRIBLE JUSTICE

in harvesting barley.

I will be harvesting hops to compliment your barley while we wait for a master brewer to be elected.

My phone tried to autocorrect to "hope" I apparently should be harvesting hope.

I ANGRY VOTE FOR PLAT TO BE BRAUMASTER.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....

Mr. Angry, you clearly did not read my logic post. I urge you to go back, read that, and reconsider.

I don't even know what a "bontingist" is, but sounds this Bob Bobbington knows about his ales! However, few things beat delicious dark brew that Edward is promising. I know few things about politics, so I'll stay out of this race.

I will, however, gather some barley whilst you make your arguments.

And me name be Cody Fettius. I used to be a commander in the Count's Grand Army, but now I'm, just a simple farmer.

I am most graciously welcome for Mr. Fofistin's support.

Together, we shall root out the devils that dare to hide as one of us and avenge the death of his cousin, the (in)famous playwright!

Further, I shall gather Hops to complement Mr. Bassist's barley.

Sorry I was offered beer from ANGRY ORCHARD by Plat. Couldn't resist.

I can't trust a man who's an ANGRY drunk.

...No offense, Moarivus.

Gentlemen, I have the brewing skills to satisfy all of you!

My latest brew was 15 barrels of this:



A delicious dark ale, with deep complex malty flavors and a wonderful mouth feel. It will satisfy both the angry and the lovers of dark beers!

But can you truly argue against that most blessed of brews?



I promise, this one does not smell of elderberries.

I'm only ANGRY when I'm sober.

So the faster we brew the better.

Beer is bad, Mkay? Class, only the simpletons and the weak willed find themselves in drunken stupors, Mkay? Because alcohol is what, class? A drug. And drugs are what, class? Class? Mkay, I'm talking to you, and you need to listen, mkay!

But the town going bankrupt is also bad, mkay? So let's make beer and sell it to tourists, but not drink any of it, mkay?

Mkay, then.

Mr, Mackey doesn't like conflict, mkay! So I will harvest hops, mkay?

Also, Mr. Mackey doesn't like spicey food and drinks, mkay? That vanilla beer sounds more like his style, if it wasn't beer. So I will vote for Timothy Wastel (timetowaste85) as brewmaster!

Also, killing people is bad, like drugs are bad. So Mr. Mackey votes that we shouldn't kill anyone on the first day, mkay?

Mkay, then.

Agreed. I've heard rumors that the town caused their own demise due to their in-fighting.

I'll also vote Edward Platuan IV as Bräumeister. I've heard his Holy Ail will give you quite the silly walk.

Now, if only I could get my hands on one of those pale ales imported from India...

Whilst I don't think I can ever fully trust someone who is unwilling to partake of the town's wares, I will admit that no one has been acting suspicious enough to condemn to death.

I vote no one hangs tonight.

If we don't kill somebody then we will end up with a higher probability if having another victim die, or even worse join Team Jacob...

 d-usa wrote:

Are you suggesting that the beast would suggest we kill no one purely to prolong the town's suffering?

Perhaps that is what the beast would say...

I'd rather lose one of our own to the monster than have us hang an innocent!

 d-usa wrote:

You seem blood thirsty, mkay? And shows about vampires and werewolves and other occult things are bad, mkay? You might as well be playing frogger or other violent video games! You need to stop watching Buffy and start working in the fields, mkay?

Enough of your petty squabbles. There is work to do. I vote Plat our Braumeister, let our toils in these fields not be wasted on tiny village politics.

However, if we do not have at least THREE barrels of beer this eve, we hang 'em as a drunk and a fool.

I will harvest Barley, but I will pay no hang man his boots today.

 mega_bassist wrote:

But either way an innocent person dies, would it not be in our best interest to at least attempt to kill the monster?

I have heard from the town-crier from Off-Topicton that it is better to die innocent than to suffer locked up in a village terrorized by werewolves for the rest of your lives.

The people of Off-Topicton would not proclaim such falsehoods!

Surely we must lynch the monster, but who is the foul beast?

Sure there must be a way to figure this out...but alas, several of out townfolk haven't weighted in. There's nary anything to go off of at this point! I say we hold off on the hangings until we have heard from more people.

I believe it's also important that we keep organized on who is gathering what so that we may limit waste.

Thus, for Harvesting we have:

Messieurs Dechain, Fofistin, and Fettius for Barley

Messieurs Mackey, Wastel, Bobbington, and myself for Hops.

If only the werewolf would just tell us who he is, we could like, counsel him or something. Mkay? So when you're ready to stop killing people and be a good student, just come up here and we'll help you, mkay?

I vote for Edward as the Braumeister as well!

I also vote for many wenches.

You honestly think we could stop a monster like this through counseling?! Absurd.

 whitedragon wrote:

Any choice on which crop to Harvest, my good man?

If I read the rules right, it only takes a single vote for lynching? Someone could go rogue here and start the lynching early?

Gentlemen, I apologize, but I am forced to be driving for the next three hours. I will return after that time, but I do have an idea to out the werewolves. If this works, we could be free of this curse. Our three brethren he should start sweating, for this is a foolproof plan. Your days are numbered, bitches.

Screw it, I don't want to chance being late. I realized, my mind is too dangerous for the wolves, and they will kill me tonight. So gentlemen, somebody round up a gun and silver bullets, and we will each take a shot in the foot. This will out the werewolves, and will just leave the rest of us in a little bit of pain.

Yes. Only cast votes are counted.

So if one person votes for a person and 3 vote for no lynching and no one else votes, there most likely is no lynching. Perhaps the moderator Magistrate could clear this up for us?


Also, I vote for no lynching the wenches.

I think we will need Manchu in here to clarify how voting not to lynch goes.

Sir Magistrate, a point of order is called for!

In addition, I will volunteer to be the first to take the silver reaction test. I have nothing to hide from anyone.

A potential Braumeister Elect must be willing to do himself anything he would ask of others.

No, Edward, it was my idea, and I will take the first bullet. Although I shouldn't have anything to prove by suggesting it, I want everyone to know my innocence.

I, "Mighty Joe Dakka", put forwards my own name as braumeister. Having imbibed so much beer over my years as a uni student, I urinate the stuff. And it's still good enough to drink. So vote for me, and I'll ensure that we have a never-ending supply!

Until we decide upon who will best lead this great village forwards, I will be harvesting hops, as I would not be caught dead unwilling to do work that I will require of others.

Also, villagers, friends, we need not lynch anyone...except for Mr. Mackey! His incessant moaning and 'mkays' will draw the werewolves to us like mosquitos to the light, and surely bring about our doom. We must stop his incessant muttering to save our town! I saw this in the puddle of ale that I left on the side of the road after my last trip to the pub. There is no truth but the truth I see left in my puddles of 'beer'! No truth but the yellow truth! Mr. Mackey must fall to save this town!

I am aware that you do not wish to lynch anyone, but it is for the greater good. The man doesn't even wish for us to drink, because "Beer is bad, Mkay". Is this the kind of man we want in Lammheim? Someone who hates the very nectar of the gods, the lifeblood of our town? I say gather your courage, and let us set upon him to save our village!

Would that mean we'd be swilling piss and pissing swill?

Also, Mr. Dakka, is there a crop you would wish to harvest in the chance you are not voted in? I would hate for us to survive the creature only for the town to suffer the Count's wrath...

Swill? I never! I drink the finest exotic beers from far away lands, stags and cupids and golden crosses and more. I combine these into a most potent, most superbtactular brew that you can all enjoy if only you vote for me!

Good sir, I said

I will be harvesting hops,

Your being hard of hearing makes me feel safer with you though, as all know a werewolf has sharp senses. You would, in fact, have my vote, if I wasn't certain that my brew was more impressive.

Tis a family affliction I gather. My grandfather was famous in his time for the hearing horn made from the antler of a great stag he'd killed in his prime. Tore apart the trophy head to do it, but his memoirs say it was worth it. The blasted thing is still on display in my study, my mother won't let me remove it.

And as we all know, the fiends aren't burdened with such things as the hellish dark magic that created them wipes away the good, natural diseases and ailments given to us by God hisself.

Thank you, good Magistrate.

Who will join me in my quest to save the town from Mr. Mackey? Will you, Mr. Bobbington? Will you, Edward Platuan IV? Without your support and the support of others in this town in this endeavour, we will surely be lost!

Mackey is a pretty good guy. He helped me through a lot of problems last week. But seriously, he needs to do something about his dog: the thing sheds like crazy, and I swear it gave me fleas. I've never seen it, but the fur and knawed up bone in the corner are a dead give away that he's got a puppy somewhere. Was probably off playing in the woods when I went for my counceling session.

Brothers, brothers, let us not war with one another. If there are fell beasts among us, the truth shall soon be known and ye may act accordingly.

Be at peace and see to the harvest.

I am Brother Himmeldenker, a humble servant of God. I am here to tend to your souls, however, as a simple friar, I will gladly help with the harvest. For it is a fact that the soul cannot flourish without an occasional (or frequent) mug of beer.

I am new to your village so I will not take sides, yet, in your debate over Braumeiesters. All seem worthy. For a brewer of a fine dark beer is cherished in Heaven (and Fiddler's Green).

I will roll up my sleeves and harvest Barley side by side with ye today.


To summarize:

I will harvest barley.
I have no vote for Braumeister.
I vote not to lynch anyone today.

Whoever dies tonight, it will be upon the heads of those who did not vote to rid our good township of Mr. Mackey. I hope you can live with yourselves for condemning an innocent to death, and may yak have mercy on your souls.

I'm to understand that if someone dies, we get their wenches....

Exactly! And Mr. Mackey's wenches are particularly buxom.

M'kay, this is just foolish! We shouldn't be fighting each other and pointing fingers, mkay? The town has survived for dozens of years since the last out break, mkay? Don't you remember the crab people? Didn't we learn anything?

Mkay, that's about enough of that foolishness. The only person being aggressive here is the guy that drinks so much he urinates beer. What does that tell us class? mkay?

OOC: fething awesome!

Bah, you superstitous lot! A werewolf?! Such creatures are just the stuff of mother's stories and the ledgers of phony monks. This is no work of some supernatural beast, but rather some unhinged plebian willing to use such a ruse to cover their own foul deeds. Nae, I, Mr Wilson McMcalla say to you my foolish brethren, take the higher path and ignore such nonsence. Carry on with your lives as you would, tilling your fields and aquanting yourselves with your pigs and other loved ones. That dead man probably performed that horrible mutilation upon himself anyhow. Youknow how queer those out of townsfolk are with their money grabbing tactics.

I shall tend to the barley, like all good citizens of Lammheim should do. We have a tally to make, and our laird has a terrible wrath.

I vote that the trader's body be exumed and lynched again. None of the fine folk of Lammheim have brokered the need for the short drop on this day.

I withold my vote for Braumeister. That said, I'm not above a bit of persuasion should one of you upstanding folk send any fine and willing wenchfolk my way (or one of Edward's blades finds its way to my throat...).

So I head to the fields with my only and dearest friend Betsy. She's a fine ox and with her auspices it shall be a fine harvest today, fit to put the mead of Dakkadorf to shame!

Wyrmalla, I believe that I can offer you the services of Mr. Mackey as a wench. Mr. Mackey, I will withdraw my request for you to be lynched (for now) if you...persuade...Wyrmalla to vote for me as braumeister! What say you fine sir?

My woman's not a prostitute, mkay. Prostitution is bad, mkay. Just like drugs are bad.

I'm going back to harvesting hops and ignoring this foolishness!

Despite clarification, there seems to be some confusion about lynching.

There is no such thing, formally speaking, as voting against lynching altogether. These are desperate times. A "vote" for no lynch doesn't count for anything but rhetoric.

So for example:

If player Y votes that player X be lynched and three other players vote that there be no lynch (and there are no other votes), player X will be lynched.

If player Y votes that player X be lynched and player X votes that player Y be lynched (and there are no other votes), there is a tie and no lynch UNLESS either of player X or Y is elected Braumaster, in which case he breaks the tie.

Given the apparent confusion, I shall extend this Day phase until 1800 EST.

*Pops his head up from between the hops plants*

Could we get a current count of lynch votes kind sir?

*Goes back to harvesting, dreaming of a time when he gets to brew the best beer this village has ever tasted*

The current Count vests that responsibility in his subjects.

Just on the off chance I am unavailable at the end of the day, I am harvesting hops. I am not voting for a braumeister, as I am in the runnings and find it unfair to vote for myself. I am holding off on the lynching unless some form of proof is brought forward.

Mighty Joe Dakka,

I beseech ye to spare the life of poor Mr. Mackey. We know not whether he be an innocent or a fell beast but we might know more in a day or two.

If ye spare him, I will cast my vote for ye as the Braumeister.

In any case, I will pray for poor Mr. Mackey.

--- Brother Himmeldenker

Since a vote has been cast, and someone is now bound to die unless it is taken back, I voice my vote to lynch Mighty Joe Dakka.

He is the only one that has voiced a desire to bring death upon this village, which I find suspicious. Is his blood-lust showing itself even when he is not in his wolf form? Is he so scared that the counseling sessions might reveal him for what he really is, so he plots the death of the only mental health professional this town has ever seen?

If he can show that he is willing to give treatment a chance, then I will withdraw my vote. But until then, I find his behavior most suspicious and in the interest of the safety of this village I vote for his death.

I shall also continue to vote for myself for Braumeister while harvesting hops in the service of whoever gets elected.

D, while Mackey may be a bit slow, fear can be a powerful cause to request violence. It's not too suspicious, given the circumstances. I'm more wary of the person claiming there is nothing wrong...that terrifies me far more.

That sounds like the talk of an out of towner to me Mr Wastel. My family's lived in this village so long that the very fields that we're tilling are churning up their bones (admittedly with the laird's recent demands some of us have had to expand our fields into the local cemetery), but what of you?!

I say keep all of our heads down and work the crops. Better to fear ahem, cautiously respect real things like our dear leader, than figurative ones! It'll be our heads if we start decimating our workforce chasing after imaginative foes. So let us be content, I mean not one of us has died bar some trader (and I see that inexplicably goods from that man's cart have been appearing about my dear neighbour's homes since...). Betsy chipped a hoof last eve and I didn't hear nobody yelling werewolf then!

Everyone knows a man becomes a werewolf through a bite. Your family living here forever means naught. I've seen you sneaking out in the middle of the night, as our homes are not far away from each other. What have you been doing, going off into the woods? I fear you seek to lull us into a false sense of security. Edward! I will throw my full support behind you in being brew master if you trust me on this-Wyrmalla is trying to calm us into a false lull. Mackey may be insane, and he has terrible taste in sags, but he isn't actively trying to destroy us. I beg you, cast your lot in to have this "fureigner" hung like the dog he is! I have a change, mighty magistrate:

I harvest hops
I nominate to lynch the fureigner, Wyrmalla
I cast a vote for Edward to be brewmaster, ONLY if he stands by my suspicions of Wyrmalla

Think of our wives-do you want a wolf chowing down on your wife? I thought not-and even if he isn't a wolf, we've seen from Family Guy how the Brits view our women-don't let your wife be a "Lois".

We should perhaps be especially wary of outsiders these days. Rumors of beast worshiping cults in Dakkadorf? Perhaps this murder has a more natural, but no less unwholesome, source than we first suspected.

The condition of the body, though, is in such a state as to not discredit the theory of unholy monsters...

I count the tallies as such:

Mr. Wastel calls for lynching Mr. McMcalla

Mr. Bobbington calls for Mr. Dakka's head

Mr. Dakka wishes death brought upon Mr. Mackey

Anyone else wish to change their votes for a lynching?

Aye, twas found in a horrible state. A wholly natural reasoning would be that someone killed that poor man in the night and performed such horrible acts upon his remains! Perhaps there is indeed a murderer afoot, and a wholly natural one at that. Yes, an individual who has attempted to cover up their foul deeds by blaming them on a mythical scapegoat. Mr Wastel you say that you watched my home last night, the night of the murder I may add, and claimed you saw me wander from my slumber. Oh I did indeed leave, as I do every night since Betsy had her troubles, into her adjacent stall, something well known to mine brethren. That you would try and manipulate the actions of a caring companion to wrong foot the dear folks of Lammheim makes me question your intent Mr Wastel. I shant vote for your lynching as you so quickly did for me, for what lawful man slays another upon such disingenuous accusations? Aye, but I shant stoop to your level and watch your door this night Mr Wastel, I have an Ox to care for.

Ah, and here is where you stumble, villain! I said I have seen you going out at night into the woods-I did not say which night(s). You just openly admitted to leaving on the night of this grisly murder. Be wary, for I have come to trust one amongst you-he knows of my suspicions, and he has reached out to others as well-they know who they are. Should you lynch me to cover for yourself, he has the evidence and will avenge my sacrifice. I realize I am to die this night, by man or by beast, but it is a sacrifice I willingly accept to save my town. Should your attempts to lynch an innocent man not come to pass, I will wait up tonight in my home with a torch and I will burn my home to the ground to alert everyone. When they see you run out, they will know I am slain and who the culprit is. Stay back, devil, lest ye reveal yourself.

Edward, I call to you as a man who loves stouts as much as I, let us remove this creature and brew dark wonders for the Count!

I made no call for your murder Mr Wastel. Nae, it is you who repeats his demands for blood! Can I, a good man of Lammheim, not tend to my beast without being accused of murder? Mr Wastel presents lie upon lie about my actions, attempting to twist well dictated events for to full fill his own paranoid fantasies. Such a man has taken the unfortunate death of an out of towner, and used it as an opportunity to spark off treason and fear in our town. I had counted you as one to trust Mr Wastel, but these unfounded actions of yours present a change in you which I had not foreseen. On the morrow I would ask that you meet with the town apothecary, or would you freely admit to turn yourself to such black speech of your own will? I wouldn't believe our laird would be too pleased of this talk of murdering ones neighbours and burning down one's own home in these troubled times. With the trouble in Dakkadorf it would be ill omens for such circumstances to occur here...

And what is it that has you out at such hours to observe Herr McMcalla leaving for the woods? I do not wish to draw suspicion to yourself, but I wish to know as many facts as can be gathered surrounding the circumstances before I decide to condemn a man. I would rather not be known as a man ruled by his passions.

As well, the unfortunate previous Braumeister had been heard to lament the absence of so strong an Ox for carrying the barrels and harvests in, so there is evidence for that. And I'm not sure I can believe McMcalla would be willing to harm a creature he treats as dearly as a wife simply to throw off future accusations.

You have not called for it, but should my words ring true, I suspect my death will come this night. I asked for us all to accept a silver bullet, and gladly accept the first shot-I will even let another test to ensure the bullet is silver before firing it upon my own foot. None can doubt my loyalties after surviving such a shot. The magistrate has not decreed this to be an unjust act, and as such, it is allowed, as he has had the opportunity time and again to denounce it. Will you take the third bullet, after myself and Edward? I will personally assure that it is silver-for I suspect it won't merely wound you, but will slay you. If you survive the experience, you have my humblest apologies for being a better man than I, caring only for peace. But I suspect the bullet will cause you more distress than the rest of us.

Mr Wastrel I believe that a madness has taken you. Perhaps you had loved ones in Dakkadorf and the trouble there has upset you? With the prying need to fulfil the Count's order you suggest that you aught to shoot your own foot in order to prove you aren't some mystical beast? You ask for one man to die, whilst removing yourself from the leighbour force in our time of leave. If you aren't mad then you are at least a wretch who would desire others to work for your own gains as you spend the rest of your years and those of any others that are shot as cripples! You twist the laws which we live our lives by for your own gain, and assume that your fellow townsfolk will stand by idly? To be wounded in such times is to decree a death sentence upon a man. You may brazenly claim that you would survive a shot to the foot, but I have seen my own brother die to the mearest nick in service in the Count's own guard. So, you insult me and your fellow townsfolk, then consider them to follow in your insane plans?

The day may be growing late, but I would suggest that my poor, sick neighbour be put under watchful care on the morrow. I would not wish death upon such a troubled man, though this business with the out of towner is still fresh. Should he any ill will become of Mr Wastrel I, and my Ox, will be displeased indeed.

Where will this bullet be placed? Who will be the rifleman? Surely you don't believe us all to place our trust in you or each other to deliver the grisly test.

Do you all see? McMcalla refuses the bullet? Who but a werewolf would refuse this test? You have seen with your own eyes his refusal to submit to a test that would prove his innocence. I suggested the bullet in lieu of your lynching, and you have scoffed at it. Is it mad to offer a small (albeit painful) proof of your innocence? Yet you refuse.

Good townsfolk! Wyrmalla knows he has been caught and is attempting to protect himself, but each sentence he speaks further unravels his disguise. Don't be taken apart by him (literally, in this case).

White Dragon, I suggest you shoot yourself in the foot. It will be loaded with a single bullet at a time, so if you shoot someone else, your guilt is clear and you shall be taken and overpowered by the townfolk. Do you think me a fool to offer each person a gun capable of killing everyone at once?



edit, for I have missed McCalla's true name and have updated properly.

You would waste good silver shooting a me, yourself, and anyone else foolish enough to involve themselves in your game? Perhaps we should grind the metal into a fine powder and eat it with every meal, or better yet turn it to bread and let us die a slow death from poisoning? Lammheim is not as rich a village as you jest sir, nor would I suspect that any fair trader would buy such a bullet once it has been shot and covered in blue (and those of us who speak to the Bishop know that silver that has been touched with the blood of a man is surely cursed). Should we bankrupt Lammheim over your paranoia? No, but perhaps for the benefit of your own sanity I will play game. I suspect the Bishop would know of a means of detecting these mystical beasts that you image that does not require us to empty the town's treasury...

Continue to demand another man's blood and you will further close yourself off from your friends Timothy. We would care that you refrain from this bloodthirsty talk as a man killed in such a similar fashion's corpse barely cold in the ground. These are not times in which to have the townsfolk turning against one another. So shall we all recant our ill spoken words, and see that it is not the blades of the count's men which are falling upon our necks, before we are so quick for those blades to be our own? Do not usurp the stability that our village has cherished Timothy. Continue with this talk of self harm and murder and your friends may start to believe that it is not your fear and paranoia over one man's death that sets you upon these machinations. No, perhaps something much fouler may have taken rout with you. What do you do in your home as others sleep and you watch them? I believe our Bishop would look down on practices which call for such much blood, though the followers of an altogether more devilish and unhallowed creature may not be so judging.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, children! Guns are bad, mkay. And I will not sit here and listen to you talk about shooting each other in the foot, or leg, or face any longer!

Is it a waste if it ensures the survival of those of us who are human? Hardly. You can't take silver with you when you die, and I'd rather be poorer and alive, than a rich corpse. The townsfolk have seen your cries against my suggestions, they must decide for themselves. I don't desire an innocent man's death, but your "denial" of a beast, followed by your repeated refusal to partake in the surest way to prove guilt and innocence speaks for itself. I love my brothers, but I don't think I can count you among them. Come for me in the night, if they don't hang one of us. I will burn my house down around you. I probably taste better barbecued, after all.

While Mr. Wastel makes a very strong argument, I'll agree that shooting one's self may not be the best (or safest) idea! Surely, there must be another way to test? If not, we'll simply need more evidence to prove anything!

The one calling for the death of the only person certified in werewolf-conversion-therapy surely is the one with the most to fear from such therapy.

What more proof do you need!

Edward suggested a silver knife-a shallow cut on the arm should prove the same results.

Failing that, it may behoove us to have Brother Himmeldenker bless the villagers in turn. It is well known the hounds of hell can not abide by blessed water.

It appears as if we have a tie in lynching votes.

If you vote me in as Braumeister you can trust me to make the right decision.

Aye, I will not support that Timothy holds a blood letting. Such an act is entirely unholy. Imagine it, all of the villagers of our town together cutting ourselves with a cruel dagger. It makes a man such as myself shiver. Tsk, and who are we to trust that any knife presented is neither some devilsh instrument (the Bishop himself lost his own blade not last week in curious circumstance), nor would it have been smelted from that batch of Fool's Silver that that dishonest trader was carrying on him (the fool must have been thinking that we'd be clambering for his wares with all this talk of mystical beasts about).

Come the morrow he and I shall attend the Bishop. Let us hope that the waters remain as pure as they were before these troubles.

D-USA, Edward, I will offer my vote to whichever one of you joins me in my request to lynch McMcalla. He has refused every silver test brought before the village, and has proven himself a threat. I only want to see us live, and I fear he may be our undoing. Make the right choice, and you have my vote.

Mr. Dakka has proven himself the most suspicious to me. He wishes to kill the man that could heal us all.

Mutilating ourselves with metal that might not even be silver serves no purpose when we should be harvesting.

One dead villager is less of a burden than a town crippled by tetanus!

Oh, and gentlefolk, you may call me....Mr. White... ;-)

Even more than this unknown murderer, I fear condemning a man to die simply to secure a vote. I fear not only for my immortal soul from the possible foulness of such an act, but also fear that it shall be I whom hangs from the accursed rope on the next day for using a man's life to further any aims to aid in the Count's request I may have.

Sterilize it with fire. Dammit guys, everyone knows werewolves abhor silver. I'll take a small scratch to ensure our survival. I agree, it's better (safer) than the bullet. My brewmaster vote still goes to whoever helps lynch he who protests the silver test the loudest.

This is not the time to be murdering one another based upon hearsay. Paranoia may have taken some, but I would hope that the rest of us remain our calm selves (not alike those drunkards of Dakkadorf. We only take servings of ale thrice a day!). Though without the aid of the Count's men in such matters it may fall to ourselves to deal with such matters if this murderer is still afoot.

Should we begin to cast our votes to murder one another purely for personal gain what would become of our town? Would we fear our neighbours and cast accusation upon another at the slightest provocation? At this time Lammheim remains prosperous, I'll hear no more talk of murdering one another. For those who demand one another's heads I leave it to you to contemplate your own intentions, lest it be known to your brothers that you would murder those you have lived with all your lives like the chaff we've been tasked to cleave.

There is still talk of this outlaw in our lands. With both he and a murder abouts should we really be turning on another so soon whilst there are more corporeal dangers to face?

What proof do you have that it is even silver? A fake knife could be used to cover the tracks of the real wolf.

Wolf Conversion Therapy (WCT) is the only known therapy to cure a werewolf, and we have a licensed practitioner in our village. I have seen the parchment on his wall and the link that he has forged at the tower while studying this craft!

Sure, a knife might expose the wolf if it is indeed made of silver, and it would surely kill him. But WCT would cure him and leave him as a valuable member of society that can continue to assist us in our harvest.

The man that wishes death on the only person that can cure him is not a man that looks out for the best interest of this village.

That's why I must insist on the death of Mr. Dakka. If someone must die, it must be him. Unless we all take back our votes. But if we remain with this tie then vote for me as your Braumeister, and I will make sure that the right man sees justice.

All this talk of tie breaking, murder, and cutting. It has been a long day, gentlemen, and we are all high strung from the news of our neighboring town and this most unpleasant murder in our midsts. Perhaps we should adjourn and attend our duties to the Count before resting and meeting again in the morning to discuss this business and the issue with the outlaw?

I pray that we shall all have cooler heads after a pleasant eve's slumber.

I vote for D to get the man I believe deserves to be lynched. Even if we haven't used a knife, he has refused it at every junction. He protests too much. D, you have my vote to sway yours.

D-USA for brewmaster
Harvesting hops
Lynch McMcalla

We need to elect a Braumeister before nightfall, unless we want to be without ale in the morning.

What good is it to be alive, only to bear the wrath of the Count?

Edward has spoken with an even head this day. With the demands of our laird, I had my doubts that many of us would be up to the task of producing a fine ale for him. So, I hope that he may brew a beer with such a fine head on it as his own.

I vote that Platuan4th be our Bräumeister today, and that was done without even him putting one of his shiny blades to my throat.

I believe the Tallies here forth are correct, and I invite others to double check:

For Mr. Bobbington - Himself and Mr. Wastel
For Mr. Dakka - Himself
For Mr. Wastel - Mr. Mackey
For myself - Myself, Mr. White, Cmdr. Fettius, Mr. Fofistin, Mr. McMcalla, and Mr. Deschain

Abstaining - Brother Himmeldenker

End of Day One

There has been much debate throughout the day but, content in the merry toil of pastoral affairs, the productive Lammheimers lived up to the mild name of their Village and put none among them to death. But as Night throws her dark nets across the sky, the gentle folk are chilled to wonder who, if anyone, will be caught up by her savage servants.

Edward Platuan IV (Platuan4th) was narrowly elected Bräumeister after voting for himself. Herr Bräumeister, please PM me your intentions as to appointing a Guard (who appointed, appointed to guard whom). Since no one was lynched on Day One, I shall somewhat abbreviate Night One.

Beginning of Day Two

Perhaps there is something to the rumors about Dakkadorf after all.

Each among you can imagine that poor village, once blessed with laughter and the happy work of brewing fine beer but now deserted, laid to ruin and waste, the corpses of its former inhabitants decaying in the trees where their terrified neighbors hanged them or out in the streets and fields where someone ... or something awful ran them down and ... and ...

Such dark thoughts are the fruit of dread, grown out of the seeds sown only the night before. There were screams but no one dared go out of doors to see what the matter was. It's one thing to laugh off grim tales as superstitious nonsense in the bright, warm sun. But it's another thing altogether at night, when you're huddled up in the dark listening to a man being murdered somewhere close by.

Mighty Joe Dakka (a.k.a. motyak) has been killed. He was a Villager.

Four barrels of beer are stacked in the Bräuhaus, ready for the Count's own larder, and with a bushel of hops remaining.

Remember, Only the living may post during the Day phase!

See? I didn't vote for Mr. Dakka and he was a villager. I could be wrong about McMcalla, since I wasn't killed during the night...but I'm a cynical man. I still fully believe he's one of the wolves and my continued survival was used to draw me off the (apologies for the pun) scent. I'm watching you, McMcalla. -.-

The wolf might be waiting and trying to infect us all, although they would mean that we have a murderer among us.

What has this peaceful village done to deserve such a fate! I will continue to harvest hops to further our progress for our beloved Count (may he protect us in our time of need) and spend an hour before breaking the fast this morning in prayer and meditation with our Lord (may he give us courage and strength). Maybe he will give me a sign in these troubled times.

*enters the church and makes the sign of the cross with the holy water stored near the entrance*

Tis sad that the murderer has struck once more. We shall mourn Mr. Dakka as one of us. Let us all pray for him at mass this morn.

But there is also Great News™! Due to our combined efforts as a village, we were able to complete 4 barrels for our glorious Count!

To complement Mr. Bobbington's Hops, I shall harvest Barley this day.

I have but a single question to ask our dear Braumeister, who has indeed shown his skill in creating fine brews.

Did you appoint a guard last night?

-R. Deschain

So... Ah...

...

Uh... There is indeed a murderer in our midst!

I see no flames over Wastel's house, so I guess he just wanted a man to die yesterday without any of his own expense. What's this really over Wastel? Betsy's mine. I was the one that found her when she wandered into town all covered in those swirly symbols, and the Bishop right sanctified her too.

So, the cretin who killed that shifty out of towner's started hitting our folk now? Hmph, now I've seen how easy it is for ours to start baying for each other's blood, but last night showed that not one of us could carry through with that intent. Now I'm not one to play about with rumours, but that outlaw that's supposedly about, yeah, he might well be the one that's up to it. All that disgusting stuff with the bodies; could any of you rightly say that one of the friends you've known all your years (or days and weeks for you now folk, but ye have good families abroad I hear) could've done that? Something foul's taken root in our town, and I say we pry it out! ...Through all just and legal means available to us of course.

Today I shall attend the fields harvesting hops. Betsy's mighty spooked over what happened last night, but the poor girl should hold up today. Her mind's still in check, just, but she'll rest fine tonight at least.

Before that I'll be seeing the priest about a blessing though. Now I'm not a superstitious man, nor a very religious one, but if its serves to placate my fellows, needs must. Let's just hope that nobody's been spiking the water with none of that new beer that we've harvested like last year's affair. I suspect that the chapel'll be seeing a few visitors today, and not just for poor Dakka's funeral.

Aye, there was a guard posted last night. Sadly, he was in the process of guarding across town at the time of the attack and the ghastly deed was accomplished before he was able to arrive.

Whether twas a beast or not, he can not say for he never spied the individual what committed the act. Perhaps there is more reason and thought in these acts than a mere monster can call upon.

I will also harvest Hops.

And I would like to know if Moytak had any wenches, I invite them to spend the day and night with me.

GRAH...THIS MURDER MAKES ME ANGRY. THIS WILL BE ANOTHER DAKKADORF BEFORE LONG.

I WILL ANGRILY VOTE FOR EDWARD PLATUAN IV TO CONTINUE BREWING. FOUR BARRELS IS GOOD PROGRESS.

I WILL ALSO HARVEST HOPS BECAUSE I AM HOPPING MAD.

Alright, my fellow villagers. I've come up with a theory.

We brewed 4 barrels of the wet stuff, with a bushel of hops left over.

Now, let's see who harvested what:

Hops: Timothy Wastel (TTW), our Braumeister Edward Platuan IV, Mr. Mackey (Kronk), the dear departed Mighty Joe Dakka (Moytak), Mr. White (White Dragon), and Bob Bobbington (d-usa).
Barley- Roland Deschain (myself), Moaravius Fofistin (WarOne), Cody Fettius (mega_bassist), Brother Himmeldenker (JB), and Wilson McMcalla (wyrmalla).

Our dear Braumeister's harvest counts for naught (seeing as he is the Braumeister). That should've left us with an even five barrels of the fine stuff. Instead, we have four, with one bushel of hops left over.

You kind folks know what this means of course? One of our Barely harvesters wasn't actually harvesting, because he was either becoming the beast that feeds in the night, or he was hunting and murdering one of our fellow villagers.

Either way, there be a traitor amongst the barley.

-R. Deschain

Unless the barley harvester was appointed guard, would be also not harvest in that case?

Also keep in mind the posted guard also counts against the harvest.

EDIT: Good point Bob Bobbington.

Nay, good sir. The appointed guard cannot harvest today, as he needs to rest after last night's long watch. Unless, of course, I've misunderstood the Count.

As a side note:
I vote to keep Plantuan IV as Braumeister, he has passed my test.
I will harvest Barley, as we have four for Hops already.

We have to vote every day? Seems very tiresome after a long day of harvesting the Hops of Glory.

But alas I will also lend my support to our previous Braumaster Edward (Plat IV)

His beer might not be the most delicious, but he toiled through the night and turned our harvest into ale. I give him my vote as well.

I approve of Edward's brewing. He gave us four this first night. Keep up the good work.

I'll also throw in my vote for Edward to keep his title as Brewmaster,

I'll go back to the fields to harvest more barley.

And I have to point out that we haven't heard from Brother Himmeldenker in quite some time...How can anyone of the Cloth not be here at this moment? A fellow villager has died!

-Back to the fields for hops
-Edward for brew master
-Lynch McMcalla. Sorry, I but my threat to out you through a display of pyrotechnics keeping you away from me doesn't make me believe your innocence.


I'll be harvesting hops for half the day, sleeping until sundown, and staying awake at night with my torch, ready to call you out. My suspicions have been laid bare to my associate. Should I be killed, he knows who to target and can reach out to others for aid, you murderous fur balls. I have my suspicions of the second wolf, but I won't announce them yet-he's doing a good job keeping eyes of himself...all but my eyes. But I know who you are...

I've been tallying my numbers, and there's a barley missing from last night. I just double checked my tallys and we had 6 hops declared and 5 of Barley. I was planning to Harvest hops myself, but as Braumeister, I'm too busy with the brewing to harvest. We have a Hop harvest left, meaning one of the barley gatherers from yesterday didn't do their job...

Interesting Edward...I went back to check through and McMcalla claimed to harvest barley...the ingredient you said was missing. He has also fought me tooth and nail (or should it be tooth and claw?) at every turn for a sure fire test, and denied the existence of such beasts. Now, I may not be perfect, but if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...I beg of you, for our town's sake, join in to lynch McMcalla. If I am wrong (and I know I am not), I will not request to lynch anyone further except myself for taking an innocent man's life. But if I am right (and I am), we will be one step closer to survival. Lets lay out the facts:

1) Brew Master Edward claimed barley was missing; McMcalla was a barley volunteer
2) he scoffed at werewolves and told us to go about our lives, that there was no beast-attempting to lull a false sense of security
3) he has adamantly resisted all silver based tests to determine health. Even a tiny prick on the finger or a scratch on the arm caused outcries, anger and disgust from him.

What more do you all need? Do you have to actually witness him feasting on your intestines to determine he is out to murder us all?

Be at peace, brothers. The death of Brother Dakka is a horrible event, but he was innocent and is now at the side of our Creator.

I have prepared his humble remains and laid them to rest in the blessed soil of our church.

I have also spent several hours praying for the downfall of the fell beast that lurks unseen. However, do we know whether Brother Dakka was slain by a beast or by an outlaw?

And as for the harvest, do outlaws harvest? I believe they profit by preventing the harvest.

---- Brother Himmeldenker

That is true, Brother: the wolves and the hunter all skip out on contributing. I hope my suggestions are enough to convince the town where to start. Based on our Brew Master's numbers, there should have been 11. We ended up with 9. He removes one himself. Which means one of a couple possibilities.

One: the werewolves skipped out on killing last night and harvested (odd, but okay), and the hunter struck and killed someone and his point doesn't count.
Two: There is only one werewolf and possibly a hunter, and only one killed
Three: Two werewolves and possibly a hunter, but only one was active last night (lull the villagers into a false sense of security thinking there is only one).

In Character!

Children! You had one job to do, and that was harvest your food. That means one of you is going around killing people, and that's bad, mkay. You're giving this village a bad name, you're scaring the bejeebus out of the younger kids and women folk, mkay? And I don't want to stay up reading the Farmer's Almanac to Mrs. Mackey to calm her down, mkay. If only there was a better way of producing endorphins, but I certainly don't know it, mkay.

So I'm harvesting hops today, and I invite anyone that wants to start a Post Traumatic Werewolf Stress Disorder Support Group to come and join me, mkay. And if you woke up this morning, you know, covered in the blood of the innocent, mkay, and you don't understand what's going on, come and talk to us, mkay. I'll be ready to listen and stuff.

Also, if you could post your whereabouts, or your wereabouts (hmm, hmm. That was funny, mkay! hmm hmm. mkay. hmm), that would be helpful!

I also vote for Braumaster Edward (Plat IV) to remain braumaster. Good job, mkay!

I appreciate the vote of confidence from my fellow villagers.

Also, I will change my harvesting to Hops, so that if I am re-elected the extra stored batch shall take my place.

For today's workload, I see we have the following:

For Hops:

Mr. Mackey
Mr. McMcalla
Mr. Bobbington
Mr. Fofistin
Myself(change)

For Barley:

Mr. Deschain
Mr. Fettius
Mr. Wastel(change)
Brother Himmeldenker
Mr. White

Please correct me if I have counted you incorrectly. Indeed I only count 9 of us there. It would be most appreciated if the missing member would step forward(preferably to harvest barley ).

Mkay Children. We call can't harvest hops, here. We're not making pumpkin brew, mkay?

I've approached some of our towns folk about it already.

I didn't see you in the chapel today Mr Wastel. The silver candlesticks were also gone from about the font. Methinks someone, without the town's backing to give him access to blessed weaponry, may have taken it upon himself to find some crude version himself? Unless this rumoured outlaw in our midst, scallion that he is, has taken them like the out of towner he truly is!

There is a killer in our midst yes, but this is not the time for the rash accusation. However, whilst this villain who strikes in the night is unknown to us, Mr Wastel seem intent on carrying out a murder of his own in plain sight of us all. He seems to believe not only that there is an outlaw amongst us, something which I have entertained, but that such a man is also in cahoots with a super natural creature! This is the talk of a mad man who's clearly creating fantastical stories in the hopes of killing his own brethren. With these dark nights what is to stop a man such as this from crying wolf upon each of you in turn? Based upon the thinnest of supposed guilt he asks for my death. Should I, a rational man be slain based on one man's hearsay?

Were I a vengeful man I would have had cause to lawfully kill Mr Wastel for his accusations. But the Count has other concerns that dealing with manics such as him. Our laird however would surely issue his wrath upon us if we didn't meet out beer tally, and with the death of Mighty Joe Dakka, we are already a hand down. So, for the tally's sake, I shall not ask for his death, nor the indignity of house arrest. When the Count's men arrive to collect their due though, I will humbly ask for an appointment with our ruler to deal with this matter.

I will abstain from the vote for Bräumeister today. Edward showed that he was competent yes, and he already has a vote of confidence from many of the townsfolk. I shall retire to the chapel for the remainder of the day outside of my harvesting, then return to tend to my ox. I expect that the good Bishop does not desire to harvest today given the recent events and funerals which he has to deal with.

Now, what hour does night call at this night?

I will harvest barley this day at the request of our brew master to build up our stores.

I believe only Brother Himmeldenker has not declared yet.

Brother, shall I put you down for Barley?

Also, I shall vote for myself as Braumeister. I do believe in consistency and order for these things.

Herr Braumeister,

You can count on me to harvest barley.

I will cast my vote for Edward Platuan IV as the Braumeister.
I will harvest barley.
I have no desire to see anyone lynched while we weigh the implications of recent events.

I will pray again for the soul of the innocent Mighty Joe Dakka and for the end of the fell one that slew him.

Herr Brewmaster, mkay.

By your list, we have 6 gathering hops and only 4 gathering barely. With 1 extra hops, that will only make for us 4 more beers, mkay. Should we not have one more person in the barely fields than we have in gathering hops? I don't mind doing my part, mkay.

Whatever you think is best.

As is, I'm still gathering hops.

We have to vote every day? Seems very tiresome after a long day of harvesting the Hops of Glory.

But alas I will also lend my support to our previous Braumaster Edward (Plat IV)

Actually, on second thought, I believe it may be more advantageous for me to reap the sweet fields of Barley!

Normally not a pernicious beast, I humbly accept any ridicule and scorn that you all deem to heap upon me.

Alright, I believe we're set for today's labor being the most productive it can be!

So, if Platuan wins the Brewmaster position again, that'll bring four harvests of hops.

 mega_bassist wrote:

Correct, which gives us 5 and 5 thanks to the extra in the store room.

Well, at this rate the Count's troops will be here before too long.

Let's hope this monster doesn't cause too much damage (if any) this evening.

Yay!

Vote for Edward for Brew Master
Harvesting Barley (at his request)
String up McMcalla unless he can disprove my theories.

Offering up my own life if I am wrong about him, but I don't know how any of you can't see the signs. It's him!! HIM!!!

I'll put my faith behind Wastel - I'll also vote to lynch McMcalla.

Thank you for believing in me!! This village will endure, brother!

Pft! I retire to the chapel. If my fellows are intent to throw accusations at me then you will have to tear me from hallowed ground to take me. I'll leave it to the Count's men to lay the question of why you killed an innocent man without a shred of real evidence bar this fantasy of werewolves on you all. I just ask how many homes and families more will be torn apart through this werewolf hunt of yours? That out of towner, or your own brothers will surely have murdered you all in your sleep before this supposed werewolf does!

If thou art indeed innocent, then our mighty Lord will protect you in his chapel and keep you from harm. He will provide a sign to those that plan to kill the most foul beast tonight and suspect it to be you. Our Savior will put a stop to their deeds if you are one of his children as he would never allow the blood of the innocent to be spilled inside his house.

But if he does not appear to aid you in your time of need, then I must trust in him and find that the others in this village must have judged you rightly.

I will come with the group when they go to the chapel tonight, and to praise our Lord if he appears to stop their deeds. But if he appears to have forsaken you then I shall abide by his judgement of you and assist the others in dispensing of the threat that is facing this village.

I look forward to seeing the signs of our most mighty Lord and Savior tonight, but if he fails to come to your aid I will assure that the others make your death as swift and humane as possible, a better fate that you gave your victims.

ooc:

So unless Manchu decided to have Jesus save your behind, I'm voting to lynch Wyrmalla!

OOC (because I've spent too long in character in this thread).

* Snigger.

You trigger happy yokels! I'll watch you from the grave tomorrow as you blow off your own feet with "silver" bullets. Let's see what that does for beer production! XD

Brothers,

I beg of ye to stay your hands and do not hurt Brother McMcalla. I am certain that he is not evil. If ye hang him, ye will have innocent blood upon your hands!

We are brewing well thanks to Herr Braumeister's able skills. We can satisfy the needs of our Lord in two or three days. Do not add to the horrors of the beast by becoming bestial by slaying innocents.

---Brother Himmeldenker

I must repeat Brother Himmeldenker's request. Whatever ill the beast may do, if we hang a man and he is but an innocent, that harm shall be doubled. The best way to work against the beast is to make sure that we do not allow it have us at each others throats or to hinder production for the Count's demands.

Mr. Mackey votes to not lynch anyone!

OOC: Meetings rest of afternoon and super busy this evening. Have fun!

So that's three in favor of hanging the furry. If McMcalla is simply stubborn, then I have failed you all. If he is the wolf, I know the other as well. My knowledge has been passed on, in case I am slain. Make your move, wolves. My torch is lit and my burnable house is waiting for you.

Brother Timothy,

Your words sadden me greatly.

What of Brother Cody and Brother Bob? Will ye at least stay your hands? If not, when the sun sets, ye shall have the blood of an innocent on your hands. I know not what madness possesses ye all, but ye will not do the will of God by slaying Brother Wilson McMcalla.

---Brother Himmeldenker

.....As much as I trust Mr. Wastel, I'll have to revoke my vote to lynch McMcalla. The Brewmaster makes a good point.

Thank you, Brother Cody!

Brother Bob, will you also desist in this madness of slaying an innocent man? We have all relied on Brother Wilson and his ox. Why now will you kill him? He is not the beast.


---Brother Himmeldenker

My hands will remain clean, unless our Lord does not find him innocent. I will go to the chapel with no ill intent, and I hope to find that our Savior has judged him innocent and to see one of the saints that he has send on his behalf.

If I find him not worthy of our lords protection, then surely he is guilty and shall receive an earthly judgement for his sins.

Brother Bob,

What will ye do to atone for ye sins after ye have slain an innocent?

I tell ye now that I am a true, poor and humble, servant of the Lord. I am the voice that tells ye not to slay Brother Wilson. I am the last voice to defend him ere the end of the day.

No saints will raise their hallowed hands. If ye believe me not, there is no remaining defense for an innocent man.

---Brother Himmeldenker

How do you know he is innocent? He has put forth enough evidence against himself to prove he shouldn't be trusted, and yet you claim he is DEFINITELY innocent. If you know him to be an innocent, please enlighten us as to how, brother.

My Lord is a righteous and just Lord. He will not let an innocent man die and will surely intervene if he is indeed innocent.

If the Lord finds him guilty I will be a faithful servant and carry out his judgement if it pleases him.

End of Day Two

And so the Lammheimers took the reins of their destiny into their own hands, or at least a few of them did. They marched the one whom they suspected out to the fields and bid him to lay his head down upon an elm stump. The other villagers protested, but weakly and to no avail concerning their condemned neighbor. Did some horrible curiosity stay their lips from pleading a stronger case? Or perhaps they, too, could not bear to stand idle by while stalked in the night? Still, there could be other, darker motives ... the suspicion of which could only grow in the lengthening shadows.

By contrast, him who they consigned to the Lord protested by turns fearfully and indignantly but was forced first to kneel before the block and then to indeed lay down his head upon it. Then with grim determination, they brought the axe down upon the back of his neck with such force as to server his head. Three great gushes of blood burst forth and were followed by lesser streams. But no change did they witness in the corpse to show him accursed.

Wyrmalla has been killed. He was a Villager.

Edward Platuan IV (Platuan4th) was comfortably elected Bräumeister. Please PM as to your intentions about posting a Guard.

Remember, only the dead may post ITT during the Night phase.

Yaaay I have a friend! Also, lynch the hell out of kronk! He's the one who got me, I'm sure it was him what killed me!

Fething worth it!

And I see you superstitious lot hacked my head off too, so I'm clearly not a vampire either. Now I'm hoping that there's still space enough in the graveyard that you didn't throw my remains in the same pit as motyak. I suppose the best of friends are those who're worm food together.

At least in his dying moments Mr Wilson McMcalla still remained in his fantasy world where the innocent weren't preyed on by werewolves. Where instead he'd though his friends had turned on him through spite, rather than fear, and everyone's woes were down to some random out of towner with a chip on his shoulder.

Yeah, what a total asshat he was.

If no one murders kronk in the next day, I'm going to start...processing...your stored beer. Remember, I'm a ghost, and I can get anywhere! OOOOH!

Beginning of Day Three

The anxious Lammheimers have slept fitfully, whether from guilt or fear or worse is a matter of individual conscience. It seems some have not slept at all. When the villagers gather at dawn by the fountain as per the usual custom, they notice two things: First, a man is already waiting there and there is blood on his hands. Second, another of their number is missing ...

Mr. Mackey (kronk) is the Hunter.

Brother Himmeldenker (JB) has been killed. He was a Villager and Mystic.

There are now eight finished barrels of beer and a bushel of barley left over from previous days' harvests.

Dammit, I figured both of those out, based on Mcamcalla's innocence. I've passed that on to other's as well, if its in doubt-they can back me up (one is a ghost and will have to reply at night). Warone and D-USA are our wolves. Totes calling it.

WarOne is always angry. Who else is usually angry? Wolverine. Who played Wolverine in X-Men? Hugh Jackman. What did Jackman turn into in Van Helsing? A freaking werewolf. And D-USA is in cahoots with him.

As much as I don't trust Moaravius's anger issues, your intuition has been wrong before, Timothy! Seems like you're always pointing fingers...Maybe you're the wolf!

 mega_bassist wrote:

They have, and I've volunteered to be lynched at the incorrectness of my suspicion of McMcalla. That offer stands, if my brothers feel it is just. But ask Mackey if I called him out on the hunter, and ask Wyrm-Food if I said Brother Hemmel was the seer, based on proof of Wyrm-Food's innocence. I'll wait, for both were approached. Again...totes. And you can't argue with totes.

While totes is quite a magotes argument, I'll still be wary of hanging anyone you suspect.

Now, let's not mention the Hunter that's been killing out neighbors! Not very good at hunting, is he?!

I called him on it nights ago. He denied it. Lol. I still had him pegged from day one.

This silence is killing me. I'll vote to lynch Mr. White. We're originally from the same town, and I've heard nothing but bad things about him (ooc )

I'll go back to my barley fields.

I'll vote to make Edward the Brewmaster once again.

Voting Edward for brew master. At the moment, harvesting hops to compliment your barley. I'll save my lynching thoughts for later...we're gonna catch a furball today, I just know it!!

OOC: Very light traffic on this game today.

Ooc: I agree. Step it up guys, I hate responding to every other post. Much as some may disagree, I don't just love seeing myself type.


Also, at this point should we just lynch Kronk for the hell of it? He did kill our mystic.

Exits the chapel, covered in ashes and wailing

Oh my Lord, why have you forsaken me and let me soil my hands with the blood of one of your innocent servants! You did not send a sign of your poor servants innocence, and you did not speak up to stop my savage act. Instead of speaking out in favor of your children you stood by and watched the murder of your most faithful servant, poor Brother Himmeldenker! Are you even with us anymore, or has the presence of this foul beast driven you away from this village? Of not even God is with us anymore, what future does this village have?

Truly, our Lord has forsaken us. Repent of your sins my fellow men, for tonight we shall surely all die.

I vote to make Edward the Braumaster, and also harvest the sweet sweet Barley.

Also, HOW DARE you accuse me oh Mega of Bassist! I vote that it is you trying to redirect suspicion against you! I vote that it is YOU who are lynched good sir!

Edward for Braumeister.

I shall harvest Hops.

The wolf continues to hide. But I vote we lynch the hunter who has betrayed two of our own.

-R. Deschain

What does it matter good Sir.

Slaying a known villager does nothing to stop the beast and will only hurt our harvest. If Mr. Mackey works of his debts in the fields I think he shall be allowed to remain among us, under close watch of course.

We stand on a KNIFE's EDGE, the clouds of SUSPICION lurking in our midst. ANGER is what fuels us now to finish the task set before us so we may avenge the dead and absolve them with our duty done.

I will murder some hops today.

I choose to elect Edward Platuan IV for we have no recourse left. We must finish what we started.

I have been asked by our wise brew master to lynch the one he suspects of being the wolf due to harvest math. This is the first call for Gunslinger's head, at the request of of our brewmaster. I shall also harvest hops, as previously stated, since he hasn't requested otherwise, and I will, of course, elect Edward again. To sum up:
Edward for brew master
Harvesting hops
Lynch the furry traitor Gunslinger.

Congrats, slinger-you had stayed off my radar, but our wise and noble beer guy has found you out. Truly, we have a wise leader running the show.

Indeed, Mr. Deschain, you have drawn my suspicions. SOMEONE hasn't been working and thanks to the diligence of my fellow townspeople, I am convinced that it is you.

As such:

I vote to lynch Mr. Deschain(gunslingerpro)
I vote myself Braumeister
I harvest Barley

Do you feel that noose around your neck, furry? We're coming for you. Everybody floats where you're going....


OOC: sorry, couldn't resist making a SK joke.

End of Day Three

Had the Lammheimers taken control of their own fate? Another head rolls by the block.

R. Deschain (gunslingerpro) has been lynched, he was a Villager.

Edward Platuan IV (Platuan4th) has been reelected Braumeister.

It is so Edward

Where is today's harvest? Where is the new brewed beer?

Why are God's children still living in fear?

Hunt not, slay not, lest ye be cursed!

Stick to the harvest, bring the Count first.

If ye be true, call not for the rope.

Let only the beasts call for blood. By their baying shall ye know them. Then strike true.

Here I am, just pointing out who killer could be, and you hang me. And worse, you accuse me of being a FURRY!

The wolf has converted another, Plat has been hidden in plain sight the entire time. His harvest was not missed as he converted another through Lycanthropy, as the Braumeister's harvest is forfeit regardless. A monster hidden in plain site. He has turned the torches on me as I used my logic to seek those who would do us harm.

As Frank Costello said, "With everybody looking up their own ass, and you looking for yourself, I'd put my money on nobody finds nothing."

A pox on all your houses!

This night has been long.

Winter is coming.

Beginning of Day Four

Another night passes, another Lammheimer will never see the dawn again.

Mr Mackey (kronk) has been killed. He was the Hunter.

There are ten finished barrels of beer and a bushel of barley left over from previous days' harvests.

ooc: feth, I forgot to harvest yesterday...

exits his house, freshly washed and covered in silver charms

My fellow villagers, if our Lord will not protect us then we must protect ourselves. I have gathetered every scrap of silver that I can...adjust a very personal piece of silver piercing...and I will place my faith in earthly metals instead of a heavenly protector. I shall work on harvesting hops tonight, so that we can finish our last few barrels of beer for our Count. I shall murder no more, and I urge you to put your faith in the harvest with me.

If we lynch the wrong person, we're screwed and the wolves win. Harvest means nothing, because we can only brew a single barrel of beer if we guess right, and we're dead if we guess wrong. And I think our number crunching brew master knows that, and a wolf has been hiding in the open. Due to a late celebration of Mother's Day (tomorrow), I'll likely miss late round and only see once the results are in. I vote to lynch Edward, as he claimed Bassist is innocent due to the mystic informing him as such. However, I tried a seance with our departed mystic, and he refused to answer. I doubt his spirit passed information on and Edward was "considering bassist a wolf" for a time, until after our mystic died and then he switched as knowing bassist was innocent-when had no way to. D, War, we have to lynch him or we're lunchables. Bassist, we'll find out if you are after Edward dies, but if the game doesn't end, you'll be next.

Missed the part we had an extra barley left over. I'll harvest hops and nominate D-USA as the new brewmaster, we need to toss the fake one.

Methinks it irresponsible to elect somone for Braumaster that can't even be bothered to remember to harvest the sweet fruits of the wine. Should they be so missive in their harvest duties, what makes you think they would be able to keep the entire brewing operation under control?

I shall also continue to harvest the mighty Barley to coincide with your sweet Hops, and the nectar of the gods, the mighty brew shall never run dry!

I shall vote for myself for Braumeister as well.

If the village has lost faith in me after brewing 10 barrels, then so be it.

If I were the wolf, why would I allow such production and organize the harvest to be so productive and yet shed so little blood?

The village has lost its way. We have lynched our own kin and allowed an overzealous Hunter to stalk the fields with the wolves, being no better than a beast with crimson eyes and fire with unquenched thirst.

I elect to savage the barley so we can pair it with someone else's hops harvest.

I nominate d-usa for Brewmaster as we need continuity. If we miss a night of brewing, we lose the harvest.

I also see we only have one call for lynching. Do we want to murder another innocent?

I shall vote to elect d-usa Braumeister

I shall harvest Hops.

I shall vote to lynch Mr. Wastel, but purely to counter his own needless vote to lynch. If he withdraws his vote, so shall I. To him I say, Sir, I think only of the village and ever have. My past has proven this. I am not and never have been the beast and were I turned, I would be the first to call for mine own head to be upon the block.

That gives us:

For Barley: The extra batch, Mr. White, Mr. Fofistin

For Hops: myself, Mr. Bobbington, Mr. Wastel

That should give us the final 3 barrels we need.

We have two votes for lynching right now. One for time and one for plat.

Don't lose faith my gentle townsfolk. An honest days work in the fields is its own reward. Don't succumb to the madness. This rabble rousing does our town a terrible disservice. Haven't we already lost enough?

If anything, Mr. Wastel wishes to keep the townsfolk hostage in the icy grip of FEAR! Does he have something to gain from all this turmoil and treachery?

Sir Wastel has been nothing but a close confidant during these trying times. Through secret correspondence, he has kept me informed of who he thinks is the werewolf. I daresay I am humbled by his trust in me that he and he alone kept me in the loop about the darker dealings in this village.

You level a heavy criticism.

Ack, another villager dead? And the others not tending to their duties in the fields? Madness, all of this. I'll have to agree with Edward, I vote we lynch, I put my vote against Timothy; his bloodlust knows no bounds.

I will farm Hops. If Mr. Wastel is hanged, I'll pick up his slack.

I will not be voting for a Brewmiester - I think we need everyone in the fields to make up for the lack of villagers.

Not producing the blessed brew is more detrimental to the village's success than not having the Braumeister brewing.

Of course, there is ONE person that it benefits to not having a Braumeister producing beer, especially so close to our goal...

Perhaps it is not truly in the interest of gathering that you suggest no beer be brewed tonight, Herr Fettius.

War, I told you MB and Plat are in cahoots together, and they level against me together. If you need further proof, that's it. You can lynch me, if you choose, but if I die, we go down to three people. And that means humans lose. If there was only one wolf, he's surely turned a second. If there were two, there are still two. There can't be three, or it would have already ended. This means we have two, and whoever they are, they must stick together at this point late in the game, as two working together are hard to crush. Plat and MB are sticking together, and if we take one, the other will fall after.

I change my vote to lynch Mr. Fettius.

As I told you, Mr. Wastel, it was down to either he or Mr. Deschain yesterday and I chose poorly.

Yes, I do. Survival. Survival is a damn good reason to be paranoid and suspect everyone.

And I do think it be hasty to lynch you. The fields need tilling and we need all the support we can get. Why would you lie to me in our trust for one another?

It could be possible, but what does a disgraced brew master offer in terms of evidence to accuse him of such infidelity?

It could be possible, but what does a disgraced brew master offer in terms of evidence to accuse him of such infidelity?

Only that he has been in every single group to have the missing harvest on every single night. He was a Barley harvester on both the first and second days and both days a Barley harvest was not gathered.

Brewmaster, you have told me in confidence that Bassist was cleared by the Mystic as being innocent-you started by accusing him, then cleared him, and now you accuse him again-your lie is found out. The only question is why you lied, and unfortunately, I suspect it's damning. You want suspicion removed from you, as we are to focus on each other after he dies. But I have another thought:

The brewmaster and wolf BOTH don't count themselves for supplies: if we lynch nobody, we can theoretically go up to 12 and a half barrels tonight, one of us will die in the night to the wolves, and the other humans can finish brewing and end tomorrow. It takes 13 barrels, yes? Lynch nobody, and the harvest goes with this number:

Plat: Brewmaster (and I suspect wolf)-you won't harvest, because as brewmaster, your number is useless, and if I'm right, you wouldn't anyway as a wolf-but I want you to declare NOTHING as harvest.
Bassist: Barley-you're supect as a wolf, and if you are, we'll be at an even number.
White Dragon: Barley-you're a wildcard

D-USA, WarOne and myself on Hops. We will be down to 3 villagers and two wolves with this number, and we will have 11 barrels guaranteed, if not 12 and leftovers. Either way, everyone survives the day, one of us dies at night, and we will know what is missing. With this number, the wolves are revealed. With this number, we have a chance.

"We" equals the humans. I don't give a damn about a wolfen victory.

I don't ask you to trust me-I ask you to trust math. Only math will win here, I've screwed up as a human too much.

Your numbers are wrong: I'm not Braumeister, Mr. Bobbington shall be.

Also, I was told by the 2nd, and I fear false, Mystic, that Mr. Fettius was human.

So if the recourse is no lynchings, would you be comfortable with this?

I've advocated no lynches from the beginning. I've you'll remember, my original vote for lynching today was purely to counter Mr. Wastels to ensure there WAS no lynch.

Lynching benefits the Wolf and if you review my actions, you'll see that I've been actively working to ensure the fewest lynches possible.

If I were the wolf, I would have been actively calling for as many lynches as possible. The only one of us doing that has been Mr. Wastel.

It's settled for no lynching then, but I still suggest Plat for brewmaster again, since he's suspect and we only lose one harvest instead of two if he is a wolf and D is the brewmaster. Back to Plat for Brew Master.

If you wish me to brew, I shall brew.

I've already ensured we have 10 barrels before today, I'm more than glad to further assure victory for the town as I've planned from the beginning.

I have a confession. Me and Betsy just eloped.

She is the only o e who understands my anger.

Huzzewww!

Plat has agreed to my terms. Will the rest of you go along? No lynching? To lynch and guess wrong is a werewolf victory. To lynch correctly will likely be a human win. To not lynch gives the math a chance to bring a human victory. The odds are against the wolves at this point. I've roused people into slipping up, and I have my suspicions: that's why I've broken you up the way I have. Humans have nothing to hide, but the results WILL out the wolves. You see my actions as inflammatory, and have suspected me of being paranoid and crazed. It's all been coldly calculated. I've talked with all of you behind backs, formed alliances with most of you, and put you where you belong to ensure humanity's survival. The count no longer controls the world, I do. Come with me, if you want to live (unless you're furry, then screw off). McMcalla was a sacrifice that was needed, unfortunately our hunter botched up (I suspect he was drunk) by killing the mystic. He didnt follow my instructions (I told him to kill Brother Hemmel only if McMcalla was a wolf). That if McMcalla was human, Hemmel was the mystic. And I was proven right. I suspected Mackey as a hunter from day one, also proven correct. If memory serves, I have told all this to WarOne before the second night's activities took place. I've sacrificed innocents, formed false alliances, and set you against each other. I don't expect to go down in the history of our village as the man you all want, but maybe I can go down as the man you all need.

Ah, that was my misunderstanding gents; my mind was preoccupied with all the events and the toils of the fields (ooc - I derped, and forgot we need a brewmaster to make beer. I need more sleep and less work, apparently)

I'll also retract my vote for a lynch if everyone else does.

I'll also vote D-usa for Brewmiester.

I'll keep harvesting hops

IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME

If the wolves have focused on turning instead of killing, then all may be lost already and our only hope would be to kill one of the beasts.

Mr. Fofistin has also seen my calculations and machinations from the beginning that have gotten us to this point(funny, both of us thinking we're positioning people how we want when clearly the Magistrate is pulling the strings for us both) as well as very clear evidence proving my loyalties to humanity.

Betsy says "moo."

That is the most profound argument I have ever heard.

Truly my anger is sated.

My friend, your network of lies absolves you of nothing! The suspicion of lycanthropy hangs on you just as much as any other. For if you yourself are the wolf, and your harvest counts for nothing, and you are secrety amassing followers in our midsts, it would benefit you the most to continue harvesting but we will find come the morrow that it will be all for naught as we are beset by wolves on all sides!

I feel we must end the madness now.

I shall change my lynch vote once again: I retract ALL my votes to lynch.

I will trust Mr. Wastel's assessment, even if it means I end up dead by the morning.

I don't expect to be forgiven for my disregard for life. I will, in fact, turn myself over to the powers that be should I survive and I will accept my fate.


Mr. White, if you wish to end this, stay your hand and lynch no one. Again, I don't ask you to trust me-I ask you to trust math. If you are innocent, you have nothing to fear, as the barley and hops will prove which side(s) the wolves lie on. I've called multiple people out by PM as wolves, which is why I was left alive-I've accused everyone, have looked like a buffoon at every step, stumbling around, but it was a calculated plan to stay alive-who kills the idiot blaming everyone? My truths are laid bare now-math will solve this, even if the wolves finally realize I was too dangerous to live and kill me tonight, you will have the math numbers on your side: with these calculations:
Plat as brewmaster, you and MB as barley: 1 barley means you are innocent and Plat/MB are wolves. 0 barley means you and MB are wolves
1 hops puts me in the innocent category and I've made a terrible mistake and D-USA and WarOne are the wolves. I'm saying that from my perspective-I KNOW my innocence, which will be proven when this is over.
If one hops and one barley aren't harvested, there is a wolf on both sides and we're screwed.

So from me, no lynching, I'm harvesting hops, and Plat as brewmaster still This isn't an honor, Plat-this position is due to my suspicion.

Your system is flawed if there is only one wolf, which the math from previous nights bares out.

If I am not taken into account and Mr. White is the only Barley produced, you still only have a 50/50 shot.

Placing myself and Fettius on separate productions still proves who is who either way, it also maximizes production if you're correct(hint: you're not) on both of us being wolves.

I tell you, it's a terrible coincidence. I've done nothing but work my farm! I served the Count for years in his army! I'd rather take my own life to protect the village than let one of those monsters take a hold over me.

I guess we'll all find out tomorrow.

That's true, but the wolf would be a damned fool if he didn't have backup and at least create a second wolf.

OOC: Okay though guys, sorry, like I said, we're doing mother's day for my mom today because of my sister's work schedule and 4 hr drive, so I'm gonna be gone the rest of the time-she's already a bit bummed that I'm spending time here. So good luck, hope choices go well, and if you lynch me, I'll be silent and can't/won't offer help unless someone does a damn good job of summoning me by a Ouija Board.

Final tally from me is:
Plat as Brewmaster
Lynch nobody
I harvest hops


Follow the system, and we should survive. If there is only one wolf, we're no closer to winning, but we won't lose this night either. So only being one wolf might be okay. Tata.

Could we get everyone else's "final" tally? I'd like to know where we're sitting on production of resources.

I harvest Barley.

I have no vote for lynching.

I vote myself Braumeister

One last thing: if someone does call for a vote to lynch, it's probably the wolf going into a panic. Just vote in a way to keep nobody lynched.

D-usa for Brewmiester.
Harvesting hops.
lynch no one.

May the Force be...Er, May God be with us on this evening.

I vote Plat for brew master.

I plow barley, that dirty, dirty crop.

I lynch no one.

Another convenient ploy to drag attention away from your dark agenda.

"If you go against my wishes then you must be guilty," on no one's authority but your own!

I gave math and very clear rationale. What do you offer?

OOC: mom is getting ready, so I can hop on.

Mega, will you switch to barley, instead of hops? And White, we don't have your vote in. What do you say? If we can get yours and USA's votes in, we can end the day with no surprise lunches to screw us over. Are you going to help the humans win? Or the wolves?

Mr. White said earlier today he was on Barley. Likewise, around then, Mr. Bobbington stated he was on Hops.

Do we have everyone then? Can we request the day end early so nobody can pull a last minute switch to lynching?

 timetowaste85 wrote:

Or maybe you already have a coalition of wolves, and you know the harvest won't add up, and the day ending early allows you to murder whoever you want in the night, and doesn't give the honest townfolk a sound defense!

This is madness!

EDIT:

But alas, my pleas fall on deaf ears. I will follow the group and pray for all our souls.

Trust me, you're not the only one that doesn't trust him...however, everyone else seems to be against lynching the one that seems most suspicious.

Sorry Bassist, regardless of what their roles end up being, they all know I'm a villager. You can lynch me if you need to, but if you lynch me, the werewolves win. That's not opinion, it's fact. 6 of us left. Kill me, that's three villagers and two wolves-one villager dies at night, game over. I'm not positive who the wolves are, though I have a good guess based on the harvesting method I suggested, and can figure it out by those results. But if you lynch me now, the werewolves are the only winners. I guess you're gonna have to take it or leave it. But the others know I'm the real deal. Lynch me, and the village is lost. Same as if I strung up Plat and he turned out to be the real deal-I'd lose. Which is why I'm letting math decide, and not being rash here.

I'm sure that we will be at three werewolves tonight, so they will automatically win unless we kill one of them.

I'm still not convinced that there are two wolves yet. You've yet to show me good evidence of this theory.

I think Mr Wastel is trying to stall for time. I am not convinced of two wolves either, and he needs the extra time for his evil plan to come to fruition.

If D is correct, we lose if we don't lynch. If play's theory of 1 is correct, we still have time. If my theory is right, and we go with my semi-elaborate plan, we can win. Unfortunately, I fear D's thought process is something I didn't take into account, and it would make a lot of sense. I may have been hasty, asking to lock in the day. What say you guys? We don't have a guaranteed safe player anymore. I don't trust any of you fully, and I know none of you fully trust me (you shouldn't either, unless the mystic cleared me to anyone). Also, I prefer pretending to be batman over being a paranoid. I think every post in the next game will be in batman's voice.

Your senseless posturing belies your true agenda. You truly are the wolf, the demon himself, and you wish to convert the whole village to your hellish ways! I'm fully convinced that you are merely stalling for time to complete your wicked agenda. Well, the townsfolk will not stand for it any longer. The rest of us may have to pick up a little slack, but the fruits of our labors, the sweet sweet beer, nectar of the gods, shall be our reward, while you go down to the fiery deep!

I cast my vote for Edward for Braumaster, the only certainty this town has had through these trying times, and YOU Mr. Wastel, I condemn your soul to the abyss! I call for your lynching Mr. Wastel, so that your pernicious silver tongue falls on deaf ears and tempts our noble villagers nevermore.

I think Edward has done a good job with the beer, which gave us a sense of safety that has betrayed us.

The brewing gave the perfect cover for his werewolf activities, and it didn't matter how close to 13 barrels we got as long as our numbers slowly dropped and the wolves grew in numbers.

I vote to lynch Edward, and shall vote for me as braumeister, and harvest hops if I shall not gain that title.

I must concur with Mr. White, who has been a very gracious counsel in these dark days. While the rest of the town has called for moderation and a continuance of the harvest, you have called for blood, even infecting my own mind with your death lust.

Your dark powers shall have no more sway, beast.

I vote to lynch Mr. Wastel.

Then you're a fool. Or the wolf yourself. I'll amend my vote to lynch you as well, so the numbers stay as they are.

Voting Edward for brewing
Harvesting hops
Lynch whitey

Change again. I know that if I die, people lose. I'll vote to lynch Edward. You guys couldn't know for sure whose side I'm on, but the results will show I was on the side of good.

OOC: it also shows I'm a damn good riot-rouser.

And now D-USA for brewing. I doubt brewing matters anymore at this point, but on the off chance it's the decider, might as well.

I think I made a terrible mistake calling off your lynching from day one. I tried to have you taken out on the first day for hiding in plain sight. I should have stuck by that.

This....is a very good point.

Does the Magistrate have a final time for votes in this matter?

Ten and a half. Extra barley.

Nothing has made me angrier than Edward's betrayal of our trust.

So much anger...

Mr. Fettius and Mr. Fofistin, have either of you made a change on your votes to lynch?

That would be 915 pm by non magical reckoning.

A whole 4.5 hours, huh?

That's quite the wait.

Worried that your scheme is going to fall apart?

I would be if my scheme were anything other than beer production.

It's Mr. Wastel that should be worried about his schemes.

The time he quoted is actually two and a half hrs away. And don't rush War and Bassist. This is a delicate matter, and they likely need to weigh their options.

Each side has two hours to convince me if lynching is the proper way to go. As it was, lynching is what my cousin suffered in Dakkadorf. I refuse to believe that is the only way. Only the wicked shall suffer.

Also, I may eat Betsy later tonight if things turn south.

Also, need proof of dork comment.

Good luck getting that proof. Now he's resorting to slander!!

*whispers in my ear*
I've just had it pointed out by J. Jonah Jameson that slander is spoken. This is actually libel. Also, there were no threats made towards Betsy. She's the most innocent of us left, as I've never heard of a were-cow-wolf before. For shame!! You attempt to use libel against me and distort the time and want to be trusted? You are a fool. The sun is starting to go down: best start hiding that tail in your trowsers, Ed.

Moaravius, I've got a marinade for Betsy if you wanna share. It would be more respectful if you made her nice and tasty before the noms.

As for my decision, I'll be giving it hard thought. I didn't get to my rank in the Grand Army by making hastily decisions. There's the paranoid who jumps at any reasoning to get someone hung, but then seemingly okay with not hanging anyone, when it could be the deciding factor....but then there's the possibility of man whom we all trusted to save our village, that could be behind everything involved.

If only I had some kind of force that could give me clairvoyance...

Sadly, we have but our own thoughts and eyes to see with.

As someone who has also served in the Count's army, though, you have seen his wrath when he is denied that which he wants.

I pray, please think of that and the town when deciding.

You have proof. Show me.

As a suspect, I have drawn up a will before my possible lynching. It reads:
"In the event that I am lynched today, and it turns out I am actually a werewolf this day, I leave my life savings to be split evenly amongst the surviving members of town, to be directly applied in your bank accounts through the use of a service entitled 'Paypal'. Should I be an innocent villager, my life savings is to be buried with me, with nobody receiving the spoils. This will ceases to be official tomorrow, as it could happen that I am turned to a werewolf over night."


In this case, "life saving" equals $100, split 5 ways. Suck it, furries.

Hey, that's 40 tacos for me. I'll allow it.

Bribes, Silver bullets, torching my house to out a wolf attacking me...yup. He's gotta be tearing out his hair. Or, probably fur, in this case. Still think he's the only wolf.

Can we actually vote to lynch Manchu?

Whose Lynch Is It Anyway, a village where the beer doesn't matter and everyone is a wolf.

Where do we stand on the lynch tally?

Two both ways: two for me, two for Plat.

OOC: Does the lynched person still harvest before he is lynched?

OOC: Can you ask the werewolf if he is getting a sick kick out of this?

If the werewolf is enjoying himself, please woof once for 'yes', twice for 'no'. Thanks,
The villagers.

 d-usa wrote:
OOC: Does the lynched person still harvest before he is lynched?

That's a good question. I thought that their harvest did count because they weren't lynched until the end of the day.

However, I also think that maybe Mr. Wastel has been being coy with his harvests as well. A wolf has no need for Beer you see.

Here is what I know:

The first night Mr. Dakka was killed, the second night Mr. Himmeldenker was killed. Neither of which was killed by the Werewolf because our Hunter was revealed on the beginning of Day Three as decreed by our mythical voice in the sky:

The moderator will reveal the identity of the Hunter at the beginning of the Day phase following the death of the second Villager the Hunter kills

Two deaths in two nights, and the reveal of the hunter. That means the wolves did not kill, but instead must have focused on turning villagers to their cause.

So starting with Day Three we had a minimum of 2 wolves, who can now split the task of killing and turning. One wolf killed kronk, one wolf spend a turn preparing to turn another to their cause.

Tonight the turning shall be complete, so we will be at three wolves, and even without killing any of us they will win because their numbers shall equal ours.

Based on our 1st day's harvest we have the possible werewolves after Day 1: Gunslingerpro (dead), WarOne, mega_bassist, wyrmalla (dead), JB (dead).

On our 2nd day we had 1 hops in store, 4 declared to harvest hops, and 5 declared to harvest Barley. We only made 4 barrels of beer and ended up with 1 extra harvest of Barley. The only person still alive that harvested Barley on day 1 and Hops on day 2 is WarOne. So I think he is our initial werewolf. We were blind to have missed him on that day.

Day three started out with one Barley, and we had two more declared harvests. We brewed two barrels and ended up with an extra Barley, so these villagers are above suspicion. We had 4 declared harvests for hops, but only two were actually harvested. WarOne was one of these, and if gunslinger was able to contribute before his harvest it means either timetowaste or whitedragon is our second wolf.

We must kill WarOne, for he is the first of the wolves. That leaves 4 villagers and 1 wolf, and if he kills or turns one of us tonight it will not be a victory for him.

I vote to lynch WarOne, and tomorrow we shall decide between timetowaste and whitedragon.

I figured you two to be together too. Huh. WarOne has been pretty chummy with me...we have an hour to decide, but should we vote wrong, we lose completely. And he also agreed with me every time I suggested Plat. I figured if he was the wolf, he'd be giggling with joy at his screen. WarOne: would you mind woofing for me, just once?

WarOne also sought me out and initiated our collaboration. Hmmm...curiouser and curiouser. And actually, no offense Plat, D's math is pretty sound and looks quite foolproof. I'm willing to follow D on this. I vote to lynch whoever D-USA votes for.

So my total:

Lynch WarONe
Harvest Hops
Seek Edwards forgiveness and vote for him to brew once more.

I'll vote to lynch WarOne based on D's thoughts
Edward for brewmaster (truce).
What do we have left over? Barley? I'll also go hops.

I have done nothing but help harvest these crops since day one, pushing the most competent brewer forward to give us the best change to succeed.

Sir Wastel has done nothing but scheme and connive behind the scenes to the detriment of this village. He is no better than the incompetent hunter that was excised from our midst.

I vote to lynch Sir Wastel and Edward as Brewmaster.

I also plan to harvest hops.

*With an evil gleam in my eye*

I uphold my vote to lynch Mr. Wastel....

AND UPHOLD MY VOTE FOR EDWARD FOR BRAUMASTER!

Let terror reign in the streets tonight.

Vote to Lynch Mr. Wastel
Vote for myself for Braumeister
Harvest Hops

Hail Eris!

You guys don't care about my will, huh? Do you think I'd legitimately throw $100 away if I was lying?

Of course, whitey, you just outed yourself as the second wolf, but I still think D has found the right of it. Take out WarOne. You have my word as a douchebag that the villagers will lose if you kill me. Not opinion: fact.

 timetowaste85 wrote:

Means nothing to the villagers as you have callously sought your own way and selfishly blamed others. A village is a community of peers and comrades. People like Mr. Mackey talked of harmony and rationale but resorted to violence when their ends could not be normally met.

This is why those who have been purged have been avenged. Mr. Mackey was killed by the wolf for a reason.

I respect your choices gentlemen...but the people are about to lose. Nicely done, furballs. You've convinced them. I probably didn't increase my chances if survival by pointing a finger at each of you at one point or another.

I go to the gallows with a smile on my face, and ghostly pee for your Cheerios!!

WarOne is the only person that is fully known to be a wolf based on the first two days harvest. Nobody but him harvested Barley on the day of the missing Barley, and hops on the day of the missing Hops.

There could still be questions about who is the second wolf that he turned, but we know beyond a doubt that he is the first.

Lynch WarOne, or watch this village die with a final count of 2 against 3.

You guys don't care about my will, huh? Do you think I'd legitimately throw $100 away if I was lying?

Of course, whitey, you just outed yourself as the second wolf, but I still think D has found the right of it. Take out WarOne. You have my word as a douchebag that the villagers will lose if you kill me. Not opinion: fact.

And you have only proven that you know nothing. Pray that tonight is not the full moon, that you may cower in fear of your meager life to rise another day.

If I could change your minds, I would. But you're all out for my blood (I may have done one or two things to deserve it), but Im not asking you to trust me. I'm asking you to trust D.

WarOne is the only person that is fully known to be a wolf based on the first two days harvest. Nobody but him harvested Barley on the day of the missing Barley, and hops on the day of the missing Hops.

And here we stand with ten barrels. Explain how we have gotten this far? Your a fair man and a reasonable one.

Whomever was hunted by the Hunter spent night after night hiding from his wrath. Of course someone's harvest would not get done if they had to hide.
