The Children of Húrin Mafia (GREAT REVIVAL)

[Magister Ludi]

What does your win condition say, Gandalf.

[gandalf5166]

Gandalf, in that game you flipped

6. gandalf5166, Gwaihir the Eagle, Town Jailkeeper, Shot from Afar Night 1!

After getting vigged night one. What are you doing?

Yeah, in that one I was trying to breadcrumb.

I really don't know what I'm doing now. I could really use some help.

@Plum:

Were any of the roles in this game(aside from the seraphs) handpicked?

What does your win condition say, Gandalf.

It says I have to survive and make sure the timestream remains intact for my safe return. I'm paraphrasing, but the phrasing in my PM isn't any clearer.

[PeregrineV]

Vote: Gut

Purely a gut vote.

[gandalf5166]

Oops, I think I messed up my tag there. Those two sentences aren't supposed to be bolded, just the @Plum.

[Empking]

Vote: Gandalf

Either scum, third party or anti-town.

[kanyeknowsbest]

yeah im into a gandalf lynch unless he can in some way explain how his win condition is pro town. theres no reason to leave claimed third party alive.

holding off on the vote until he explains it better at least.

[SpyreX]

Get yer votes off me I'm a magical princess.

PUT THEM WHERE THEY BELONG

Unvote, Vote: Gandalf

[gandalf5166]

Once again, I don't know. Heck, maybe at the end of the book all of the bad guys die and Hurin and his children live happily ever after except for like one or two that I have to make sure die. Once again, I'm looking for the same info you are.

No comment.

I know the Silmarillion
The sons of Hurin is a reference to men
There are a few Elvin kingdoms up... Gondolin... Nargothrond....
There are High Elves, and Wood Elves, already, I believe. The Eldar, and the Nolder. Elves get into human politics at the time... Elves like Maedthros (may-uh-thrOs afaik) were hung up and tortured on the walls of Angmar for hundreds of years where they didn't really die, they just faded away

humans hit this world, manwe favoring them in a sense, and hit it hard tbh. The elves had gone from living in the land of the valar (kind of like the pantheon in greek, but it's an "island to the west", where frodo sailed off too at the denoument of the return of the king) there have been evil invading the good parts of everything throughout the silmarillion (i know this is a different book) for instance, ungoliant, a gigantic spider, was a 3rd party a little bit before this time that was recruited by sauron or melkor to assault these trees... you know the white tree symbol of Gondor? yeah. It was around that time that Melkor really coveted these things that Feanor crafted... Feanor put his soul into them, they were like gems, although I am a little iffy on the 3 rings given to the elves, I believe 7 to the dwarf lords, and the 9 ones given to the men amongst the witch king (he wasnt the witch king then) and shit, but it is similar to that. Objects can have powers, as the palantir do in LOTR. Here they were these elf stones that he coveted.

Some elves, like Fingolfin, would directly stand up to Melkor. Feanor was different. He felt, being the eldest son, he should take over. It didn't happen, so his father actually left with him when abdicating the throne of the high elves. They went to a different land. Eventually, like I've stated, the elves came under siege and treachery from melkor... Feanor returned, his 2nd brother whose name I forgot actually felt like he should be king... I'm really rusty on all of this, I haven't read it all in about 9 or 10 years

Onto the dwarves, create by Aule, they are not as prevalent. The only dwarf who is really prevalent around this time period is Mim, but we don't really have to worry about him, as he largely worked with the elves and humans against evil. He was sort of treacherous, but if he's in the game he will not be affiliated with Melkor/Angmar whatsoever who will be evil.

The humans I am really, really, really hazy on. I know Hurin was the head of the line that Turin was on, so Turin Turambar is probably our hero.

The human host was located south of Angmar, and were the direct front of the brunt of the forces in battles. Gondolin was south of it, the wood elves were to the east, and those were the ones that associated with the dwarves most as they were north of the eastern elves and to the east of angmar

[kanyeknowsbest]

so why are you asking us instead of pming plum for a clarification on your win con?

unvote vote gandalf

[Magister Ludi]

meh, the last few times I have seen a claimed third party lynch get run up, the instigators of the lynch were scum.

Also, my vote on kanye is a serious vote.

Fos: PeregrineV

For completely ignoring proceedings here.

[gandalf5166]

so why are you asking us instead of pming plum for a clarification on your win con?

unvote vote gandalf

I get the feeling that if Plum was going to clarify she would have.

I think Plum gave me this role just to fuck with me.

[gandalf5166]

Is there some kind of glitch with my computer? Why does shit keep getting bolded?

[gandalf5166]

Furc's summary doesn't make any sense.

[Magister Ludi]

That doesn't make much sense, Gandalf, considering Plum would have to balance the game, and include a Gandalf, and If you didn't play, or replaced out, all the work could have been for nothing.

[Empking]

I get the feeling that if Plum was going to clarify she would have.

Give it a go.

Furc's summary makes sense. Is Children of Hurin not an actual story or book then?

[Furcolow]

I'm just wondering if this is before or after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad

EBWOP: Mine was NOT A summary
it was a WHAT-IS-HAPPENING-BEFORE-THIS; prologue; synopsis;wtfe

[Magister Ludi]

Also, claimed third party are better saved for Vigfodder than Lynchfodder. For super srs.

[Empking]

Gandalf: What abilities do you have?

[Furcolow]

We might not have Hurin whatsoever if it is after the nirnaeth, the battle of unnumbered tears, where he was captured by morgoth and held unto the high mountains watching the cursed fate of his sons

[Empking]

Also, claimed third party are better saved for Vigfodder than Lynchfodder. For super srs.

I never understood that. Why?

[kanyeknowsbest]

meh, the last few times I have seen a claimed third party lynch get run up, the instigators of the lynch were scum.

find not town, lynch not town. you can say i was trying to do it for town cred later on but its a bit early for that.

[kanyeknowsbest]

Also, claimed third party are better saved for Vigfodder than Lynchfodder. For super srs.

we dont know if theres vigs in this setup or not. we dont know if hes bp or not. theres no reason not to lynch at this point where we can spare it.

[Magister Ludi]

Does lynching claimed third party benefit town more, or does it benefit scum more. Reasons too, Kanye.
