Again, innocents are italicized (including Agan) and if we had any known critics I'd have underlined them. DL of 12:30 my time, all vote times listed accordingly. Enjoy.

Not quite sure what you're asking, dear. Sorry.


I'm off to class. Watching the X-Files today (which should make our lovely Miss Kath happy) and will probably have a short break somewhere in the middle of our session. If not, I'll be back around supper time.

Just thought I'd do it, maybe give you an advanced warning. Everyone I don't know about will get a dose of the Boro treatment today, at this stage we can't footsie around anymore. But I wanted to let you know, that you happened to draw the short straw and will probably be first.

Fine with me. Just make sure everyone else gets the same treatment and we'll call it even. Like I said before, I deserve to die for my stupidity yesterDay, but killing me honestly won't help the village, so if/when I go down I plan on taking a critic with me.


And what did you mean about Nog, if you don't mind my asking?

Really off to class now. Bye~!

Sally why do you think Boro is innocent?

The bad thing is, I'm still alive and I'm going to be busy tomorrow because of a stupid school thing. The good thing is, Mac is dead and I can finally concentrate on others properly.

I don't think the diva/divo should believe people who tell xem not to reveal, but decide for xemself. Two known innocents today wouldn't be a bad thing, and even if someone else tried to pose as xem, we'd find them out soon enough.

I don't trust anyone of you and least of all phantom.

Well I do have 4 pairs of black dress shoes, and 1 pair of brown ones, plus some sandals, a pair of boots, and a pair of walking shoes...so I guess for a gentleman that is an excessive amount of shoes, but I would feel safe in saying everyone here can find their shoes lying around somewhere. If you're trying to suggest what I think you're suggesting, it'd be best for you to stop.

Aganzir 01-16-2009 02:37 PM

What kind of boots are they? I like old military style boots (or fascist boots as some people I know call them).

Ah but why? I'm bored.

Although I probably shouldn't be, I should be doing something useful. Like going through posts. However it's rather late and I have to wake up early tomorrow.
I'll see if I can come up with something before going to sleep.

I would really like to hear more from Shasta today.

Agreed. That's the only secret left to the critics, the identity of our diva/devo, so the longer we keep that hidden the better.

Nah. The real Divo will have a way to prove his identity. It is doubtful the claim would be challenged.

Unless the Critic or Walter had planned, from the very beginning, on the possibility of a false reveal, in which case they would have a way to "prove" themselves as well. But there aren't many who would plan in detail that far ahead for things that are unlikely to ever happen.

But that isn't to say that there is no advantage to be gained from a hidden Divo. There is. But of course it's all useless if a baddie is not lynched today.

Blah, I'm being a terrible person and popping out from class for a bit. Best get back soon. (We're not even watching the X-Files, much to my chagrin. :()

EDIT: Heading back to class now, back later. Make lots of shiny posts for Miss Sally whilst I'm gone, savvy?

Actually I'm rather for xer revealing, but that's just my opinion. I don't know how likely it is that the critics don't already know xer identity, and therefore there's a risk that xer abstaining from revealing benefits the critics more than us.

I don't think he'd exactly betray us - it's more like that he posts without caring which side he's helping, and he could do it just for fun. How else could he amuse himself during these boring days of not being allowed to vote? He isn't on our side, either. That's why I'm not really trusting him.

edit: xed with phantom & sally

the phantom 01-16-2009 02:49 PM

On the subject of shoes....
-black formal
-brown formal
-4 casual everyday
-snow boots
-water shoes
-running
-tennis
-basketball
-hiking
-cleats
-slippers

Grand total: 14

Verdict: Not excessive. All serve a specific purpose.

And if the critics do know who the divo (or diva, as the case may be) is, then they aren't likely to be too concerned about keeping the cobbler around anymore.

The cobbler can always help them in the end. With a vote, for example. And if the critics know the diva/divo's identity, they just want xem to stay hidden so the village wouldn't get a known innocent.

After all the diva/divo can be lynched.

Nope, phantom is the only invincible player.

Also, if we try to lynch a critic or the cobbler, we are most likely going to get a fake diva/divo reveal. So if the diva/divo revealed now, we would at least have time to discuss it thoroughly if need be. A reveal a few minutes before deadline doesn't sound very tempting.

I agree. If the diva/o is going to reveal, it ought to be done in advance. And I'm beginning to think that maybe it would be a good idea. After all, the only advantage we would have in the diva/o remaining hidden is that the Critics might waste a kill on her/him, but that won't be much help if we don't get a baddie toDay - and knowing who the diva/o is would make that a lot easier.

Well unless the critics want to go tricksy again, I'm going to die next night. In any case I find it improbable that they should try to kill the diva/divo, so xe might as well reveal today and save us the trouble.

You're right! I hadn't thought about that. There really isn't any reason for the diva/o to not reveal.

I haven't found the perfect fascist boots yet but I'm on the look out for them. Unfortunately my foot is so small that it's impossible to get anything authentic that would fit me.

Except for the possibility that they are targeted the night after tonight.

But as I said before, that assumes we lynch a baddie today.

And I agree that a Critic or Walter on his way to lynching is likely to claim to be the Divo. But the Divo would do that too. I would advise against a late voting flurry. Voting ahead of time would solve the problem of lynching the Divo and him not having enough time to prove his identity.

If that is the case, then I might agree that the Divo should come out early, for we would be unlikely to believe a late reveal without proof.

But if the Divo can swiftly prove himself, I don't see why he couldn't sit on his secret and only reveal if the vote swings his direction.

I think because knowing who is innocent will make it easier for us to figure out who is not.

Or you all could just vote a little earlier. That way if you have voted for the Divo he can let you know and there will still be plenty of time to think about what you will change your vote to. (And this way the Divo doesn't have to step out needlessly.)

Shall if I want to *pouts*..and you have no idea what weird stuff I got before I put the quotation marks in....

Aganzir 01-16-2009 03:47 PM

See, if we lynch an innocent today and an innocent dies in the night (which will happen because the wolves know they are able to kill at least me), we lose. It'd be 3-2 for the wolves as the cobbler can join them then.

And I don't want to see a critic about to be lynched today come out shouting, 'I'm the diva!' and have some poor wavering soul retract and vote someone else just because they don't want to risk killing xem. Also, it's usually difficult for an innocent to predict how the vote goes.

Gwath, I'm not planning to become a dictator... yet. ;) And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight.

edit: xed with phantom. I will probably have to vote early (ie an hour or two before deadline) because I've promised to go to cinema with some friends and the movie they want to see begins at, erm, don't remember. Around deadline anyway.

satansaloser2005 01-16-2009 03:51 PM

*googled, but just to check her suspicions*

Ah, very nice, Gwath dear.

Back but soon going to supper. And thus I leave you with a quote (which I didn't even realize I knew....weird....)

"Permit me thus to be torn from thee." (Well, at least until my tummy's full.)

(As with Gwath's, no googling. Enjoy, darlings~!)
