    Excellent! You’re welcome to join the spectator docs of the two games currently running - PM me for the MR and @Fifth Scholar for the LG. The next game to go up for signups will be either a QF when the MR ends, or the next LG when the current one hits cycle 5. I’m not sure when the latter is, but the QF should be going up in about a week (maybe less) - I’m happy to ping you when that happens!

    Yuriel smiled, gracefully accepting the nomination. “I promise you,” she said in a clear voice, “the Ring has no power to corrupt me now. I will see it destroyed no matter the cost. This I swear.” She meant it. After seeing her husband go mad from the Ring, and after what she’d had to do to stop him... Revenge was worth the cost at any price. She glanced over at Gwendolyn, who was staring intensely at whatever was in her hands - some kind of tool, but she wasn’t certain what. The girl seemed strange, but Yuriel hadn’t seen true madness in her eyes. Not yet, at least. But she would be watching. Elrond smiles at her. “You are excused from the Council if you wish,” he said. “I know you have many preparations to make.” She rose to her feet and bowed. “I will take my leave, then. Thank you.” She walked out unhurriedly, but her steps quickened once she was out of sight. She had so much to do - so many decisions to make! Perhaps she would take a few items with her to sell if she could? Although she wasn’t sure if she would find any customers out in such wildernesses as she heard the world now was. Later that day, Aranmir came to Elrond with a request. Elrond considered, then nodded. “Yuriel may be needed to help with the craftsmanship,” he noted. “She’ll be displeased to be taken away from her preparations, but she’ll have to manage.” Aranmir nodded. “Thank you, Lord Elrond. I’m sorry to trouble you, but...” “It is an important matter,” Elrond replied. “It will be done.” She hadn’t left Imladris in... Yuriel had lost track of the centuries. Not since her husband died, at least, and that was long ago indeed. She looked askance at the trees surrounding them, grown wild and strange. She wasn’t used to seeing wilderness completely untouched by friendly hands, left to its own devices. Even from what she remembered, the world had seemed... more ordered, then. Now it was wild and dark. She lay in her bedroll, staring up at the stars and listening to the breath of her sleeping companions. Elbereth, watch over me, she prayed to the glimmers of light above. Keep our journey safe and our hearts free from corruption or despair. The stars gave no response, but she hadn’t expected them to. Yuriel knew Elbereth had heard, regardless. She could only hope it would be enough. Amanuensis was one of the Free People of Arda! Cycle 4 has begun. It will end in 47 hours. Vote Count Aman (4): Aragorn, Bard, Pejidot , Striker Burnt (1): Fifth Elbereth (1): Straw Fifth (2): Coda, Wonko Straw (1): Kas Player List Have fun!

    The writeup for this cycle has been edited in! I encourage you to read it before the new cycle’s, for chronological consistency.
  4. Elbereth
    The cycle is over; the next will be posted in an hour. Sit tight!
  5. Elbereth
    The cycle will end in one hour.
  6. Elbereth
    If you say so.

    HH was tied at 2 votes for literally 20 minutes (and that was only itself about forty minutes before rollover) before you broke the tie in favor of Xino. Plus the elims have a vote manip which they could use to save him even in that case.
  8. Elbereth
    I know that he wouldn't have died from the filter tonight, although I'm skeptical that he didn't start with a Reverser - as the Thief in the previous game, I know how hard it was, and no one claimed their Reverser was stolen (though if anyone would like to, I'm all ears). @Furamirionind could you clarify why you think that? I'm not sure I agree.
  9. Elbereth
    It’s only in the OP - I had to check with Fifth to make sure it still applied, but it does and it’s two cycles without posting. So you’re fine.
  10. Elbereth
    *sighs loudly* No one else wants to comment on that lynch? At all? You might die tonight! At least get your thoughts out there! I'm bored!! Also @Sart fyi there's an inactivity filter in this game, which I'm guessing you missed given your vote on Xino.
  11. Elbereth
    Well, it nearly changed who got lynched.
  12. Elbereth
    I did move Sart up to two, meaning he could die with vote manip. You were close, you just added a mystery vote to HH that didn't exist.
  13. Elbereth
    Well, that's unexpected but fortuitous. Fura, you do realize in trying to solidify the vote on HH you were in fact moving the lynch target to HH? Also, apparently I got soothed. Which is a bit of a waste given I had a single vote, but... sure? EDIT: Nope, Fifth just made a typo. Nevermind!
  14. Elbereth
    Striker. Sart.
  15. Elbereth
    Thanks! Me too.

    Elrond sighed. “We are agreed, then,” he said finally, glad to have the discussion finished with for now. “Rath shall go.” The sun was setting, now, flaring the brilliant autumn leaves even redder but leaving the courtyard below in shadows. They had talked for hours upon hours, trying to decide after even Ulmo failed who might have a chance not to be corrupted. They’d finally settled on Rath, a dwarf from the Lonely Mountain who had come bringing dire tidings. He’d be going back in that direction regardless, and the Council thought that perhaps if the powerful could be corrupted so easily, the weak and insignificant might have more of a chance. Elrond looked at the Ring hanging around Gwendolyn’s neck - even he could feel its pull for a moment, and he wondered if it would be better not to keep it far from this Council, in case it could somehow be influencing their minds. But he knew that was foolishness. The Ring could not see or hear. It could only allure and corrupt. And it seemed to have corrupted even a Vala, which he’d not thought possible. Even if it could not touch his thoughts, he would not venture near it. Just to be safe. The first frosts of winter had begun to bite by the time the Fellowship finally set off. Rath smiled, breathing in the crisp air. Rivendell has been a lovely comfort, to be sure, but he was glad to be going out into the world again. Too much calm, too many Elves. Couldn’t turn a corner without seeing one, and he couldn’t help but feel that they were always watching him. “Let’s go, then,” the dwarf said, impatient with farewells, and started walking without a backward glance. He could hear his companions following behind. A motley lot, he reflected, but perhaps enough to get the job done. He could only hope: hope that none of them were already corrupted by the Ring, hope that Sauron’s servants could not find them, hope that they would make it in time to save Middle Earth. He could only hope. Ulmo was not with them, of course. He had no need for it: he was in every spring and stream, any water that touched the Sea. And beside, the Fellowship had made it clear he was not wanted among their number. That was fine - he had only been there, in truth, to bring his Chosen onto this Fellowship if he could. The world would rest on them yet more than him, now. He hoped they would be up to the task. Rath was one of the Free People of Arda! Vote Count: Aman (2): Kas, Striker Bard (1): Coda Elbereth (1): Straw Rath (3): Aman, Fifth, Wonko Wibble (1): Bard Cycle 3 has begun; etc etc sorry but I’ve got to go!
  17. Elbereth
    The cycle is closed.
  18. Elbereth
    When am I not doing that?
  19. Elbereth
    As a reminder, the cycle will end in just under one hour.
  20. Elbereth
    Thank you for reminding me! I’m putting “Confirmed good does not equal confirmed right” in my signature immediately.
  21. Elbereth
    My vote isn’t meaningless; it’s suspicion on Striker for taking the easy way out of a clear poke vote instead of something that could actually draw scrutiny. Also, gut negative read on that entire post, btw.
  22. Elbereth
    Yay!
  23. Elbereth
    If it means you're voting on someone you actually want to lynch, I'll take it.
  24. Elbereth
    IIRC, the first item goes to the killer and then any other items go to the Heir if an heir has been selected. So they did get the Pain Knife.
  25. Elbereth
    Not sure? I think his reasoning is off in a villagery way - it's not a strong basis / mostly gut, but I don't think an elim would bring up that theory? At least, it doesn't make me want to vote on him.
