The Fall of Gondolin Mafia: Game Over (The Tale of Gondolin)

[shos]

I think that if we had lynched all those whose votes were parked on non-viable wagons, we'd have a lot of lynching to do.

[Desperado]

@ Shadow: The only real suggestions I've seen are Esp (still town) and CES (who is scum because Chamber died? meh), neither of which is a good lynch. The only other strong reads I have are on town.

Do you think Sirdan is town?

[Shadoweh]

I can kind of get where people are coming from with the hostility and pushing cases on personality instead of reasoning.
I just have a hard time believing scum could keep up that level of angry without choking on themselves. Being scum is demotivating, don't you think he'd run out of things to say by now?

I'm still waiting for shos to tell me why this is a good vote either. I don't believe in it.

Thus he came at length to the deserted halls of Vinyamar beneath Mount Taras, and he entered in, and found there the shield and hauberk, and the sword and helm, that Turgon had left there by the command of Ulmo long before; and he arrayed himself in those arms, and went down to the shore. But there came a great storm out of the west, and out of that storm Ulmo the Lord of Waters arose in majesty and spoke to Tuor as he stood beside the sea. And Ulmo bade him depart from that place and seek out the hidden kingdom of Gondolin; and he gave Tuor a great cloak, to mantle him in shadow from the eyes of his enemies.

Then there was a noise of thunder, and lightning flared over the sea; and Tuor beheld Ulmo standing among the waves as a tower of silver flickering with darting flames; and he cried against the wind:

"I go, Lord! Yet now my heart yearneth rather to the Sea."

And thereupon Ulmo lifted up a mighty horn, and blew upon it a single great note, to which the roaring of the storm was but a wind-flaw upon a lake. And as he heard that note, and was encompassed by it, and filled with it, it seemed to Tuor that the coasts of Middle-earth vanished, and he surveyed all the waters of the world in a great vision: from the veins of the lands to the mouths of the rivers, and from the strands and estuaries out into the deep. The Great Sea he saw through its unquiet regions teeming with strange forms, even to its lightless depths, in which amid the everlasting darkness there echoed voices terrible to mortal ears. Its measureless plains he surveyed with the swift sight of the Valar, lying windless under the eye of Anar, or glittering under the horned Moon, or lifted in hills of wrath that broke upon the Shadowy Isles, until remote upon the edge of sight, and beyond the count of leagues, he glimpsed a mountain, rising beyond his mind's reach into a shining cloud, and at its feet a long surf glimmering. And even as he strained to hear the sound of those far waves, and to see clearer that distant light, the note ended, and he stood beneath the thunder of the storm, and lightning many-branched rent asunder the heavens above him. And Ulmo was gone, and the sea was in tumult, as the wild waves of Ossë rode against the walls of Nevrast.

Then Tuor fled from the fury of the sea, and with labour he won his way back to the high terraces; for the wind drove him against the cliff, and when he came out upon the top it bent him to his knees. Therefore he entered again the dark and empty hall for shelter, and he sat nightlong in the stone seat of Turgon. The very pillars trembled for the violence of the storm, and it seemed to Tuor that the wind was full of wailing and wild cries. Yet being weary he slept at times, and his sleep was troubled with many dreams, of which naught remained in waking mem­ory save one: a vision of an isle, and in the midst of it was a steep mountain, and behind it the sun went down, and shadows sprang into the sky; but above it there shone a single dazzling star.

After this dream Tuor fell into a deep sleep, for before the night was over the tempest passed, driving the black clouds into the East of the world.

JacobSavage

has been prodded.

[shos]

sorry I have more games lol

Which vote is it that you want me to tell you if it is good? sirdan?

[PeregrineV]

Catchup today, but lots of work, so minimal posting.

I lied- no time.

[Shadoweh]

yee-es? The vote you have right now is the one I want you to tell me about.

[MafiaSSK]

I feel like at the moment Desp is pretty town, actually. Which bothers me because most of the time I see him as scum and nothing else.

SirDan on the other hand, might be scum. But I feel like my read on him is more gut based than anything else.

[TheIrishPope]

ces?

[JacobSavage]

Hi prodded, sorry will post this evening after lectures

[sirdanilot]

Esl: Yes I am still all for a CES wagon

I'm asking specifically in regard to the fact that CES is the first voter on Desp, you are the second, and of this:

So you think it's a good idea to hop onto a wagon where he is the first voter? Seems legit..........

I hadn't noticed that he was the first voter on Desp.
You know, Desp hasn't really been wagoned before, so it's also kind of a 'lessee where this goes' vote. I'll be honest with you there. I don't have a clear enough read on desp to be all 'DIE DIE DIE SCUM DIE'.

He's overconcerned with the gamestate, particularly re: usefulness and wagon viability, and it looks a lot more like scum trying to position himself properly rather than town trying to build consensus.

Overconcerned? These all look like town tells to me, to be honest. Well, at least you have a decently motivated read, but you're still wrong.

I am getting less motivated for the Desp wagon now, he seems legit actually.

JS: Don't bother, you're probably scum anyway, despite your claim.

[Albert B. Rampage]

Unvote, vote Desperado

Limited access

[Albert B. Rampage]

sirdanilot seems town don't lynch him

[ActionDan]

5 days. Gosh. Maybe I'll find all the scum if I have too.

[Shadoweh]

I am getting less motivated for the Desp wagon now, he seems legit actually.

I'm not exactly feeling good about it eitheer but I haven't seen better ideas.

Dan, what the hell are you doing? I keep seeing your name pop up elsewhere, I expect more then a gosh for ssticking up for you here, you're making me look bad for ignoring you.

[Plum]

Natirasha

Albert B. Rampage

[ActionDan]

Dan, what the hell are you doing? I keep seeing your name pop up elsewhere, I expect more then a gosh for ssticking up for you here, you're making me look bad for ignoring you

Well I'm still town. Ty for your support you're in the right.

I still think you're town. That's something.

I still think Sirdan is town.

I think CES is town.

...

And that's about it.

I do not town-read Tierce. most of the time I do. not this game.

[ActionDan]

oh I guess Pere and Elscouta did town posts. not super solid ones but decent enough. JS should have protected chamber. Otherwise he's also decently town.

[JacobSavage]

@Elec what exactly about that post was scummy?

@sirdan would you prefere me just not to say anything then?

He awoke at length in the grey light, and arose, and left the high seat, and as he went down the dim hall he saw that it was filled with sea-birds driven in by the storm; and he went out as the last stars were fading in the West before the coming day. Then he saw that the great waves in the night had ridden high upon the land, and had cast their crests above the cliff-tops, and weed and shingle-drift were flung even upon the terraces before the doors. And Tuor looked down from the lowest terrace and saw, leaning against its wall among the stones and the sea-wrack, an Elf, clad in a grey cloak sodden with the sea. Silent he sat, gazing beyond the ruin of the beaches out over the long ridges of the waves. All was still, and there was no sound save the roaring of the surf below.

As Tuor stood and looked at the silent grey figure he re­membered the words of Ulmo, and a name untaught came to his lips, and he called aloud: "Welcome, Voronwë! I await you."

Then the Elf turned and looked up, and Tuor met the pierc­ing glance of his sea-grey eyes, and knew that he was of the high folk of the Noldor. But fear and wonder grew in his gaze as he saw Tuor standing high upon the wall above him, clad in his great cloak like a shadow out of which the elven-mail gleamed upon his breast.

A moment thus they stayed, each searching the face of the other, and then the Elf stood up and bowed low before Tuor's feet. "Who are you, lord?" he said. "Long have I laboured in the unrelenting sea. Tell me: have great tidings befallen since I walked the land? Is the Shadow overthrown? Have the Hidden People come forth?"

"Nay," Tuor answered. "The Shadow lengthens, and the Hidden remain hid."

Then Voronwë looked at him long in silence. "But who are you?" he asked again. "For many years ago my people left this land, and none have dwelt here since. And now I perceive that despite your raiment you are not of them, as I thought, but are of the kindred of Men."

"I am," said Tuor. "And are you not the last mariner of the last ship that sought the West from the Havens of Círdan?"

"I am," said the Elf. "Voronwë son of Aranwë am I. But how you know my name and fate I understand not."

"I know, for the Lord of Waters spoke to me yestereve," answered Tuor, "and he said that he would save you from the wrath of Ossë, and send you hither to be my guide."

Learning of the command laid upon Tuor by the Lord of Waters Voronwë was filled with wonder, and did not refuse him his guidance to the hidden door of Gondolin. Therefore they set out together from that place, and as the Fell Winter of that year came down upon them out of the north they went warily eastward under the eaves of the Mountains of Shadow.
