So, going with scenario 3, who do we think Kath's fellow would be?

I would love it to be Boro just because his innocent-playing-seer-getting-two-wolves-lynched show would be so delightful (actually, it's delightful regardless of his role).

It would have been a great move for him. I was thinking Lottie could be the Child, but that's largely guessing.

Rikae 05-17-2020 11:23 AM

I'd think if the child was around and posting they'd have revealed, so Rune or Greenie.

Maybe Rune, since he seems to be doing his own thing, and it would be more amusing that way. ;)

Pitchwife 05-17-2020 11:32 AM

So I take a day off for weeding and housecleaning and come back to THIS???

Me too. I mean her panic reaction to Sally hunting her felt a lot like she had a special role; my first guess was the IC, but seer would have made sense too.


FWIW, Kath's post about us clearly knowing something we don't (which I quoted on the last page) has earned her a *ping*. I think the Infected would have more to gain from fostering blind trust in our vote than the innocents.

Pitchwife 05-17-2020 11:47 AM

Greenie's #1413 - This is so awesome. If Brinn isn't the Seer, she would have been preparing to do a fake gifted reveal at some point right from the start; don't know how likely that is.
And if she is, the wolves probably killed me just to frame Steve, + starting to suspect Ka, + leaving no trail to the others.

Okay, since no one in the GT challenged Brinn, I'll trust her. Would have been cool if we had agreed to vote Kath yesterDay!

++Kath

I hope the child reveals toDay so she doesn't dream them tonight by accident. I think the wolves could still win in that case, right?

Edit: crossed, obviously

THE Ka 05-17-2020 11:53 AM

Since I might loose service here soon, I'll add my vote:

Yes. And isn't it actually what G55 said?

I, in fact, checked a few Days back Brinn's posts whether she might not be the Seer, but I didn't reach any conclusion worth mentioning. She's been doing a really good job of avoiding... anything.

Also the initial suspicion (coupled with the votes provided by our beloved G55, Rikae and later Hui) probably provided the best cover for her, ever. ;)

Rikae 05-17-2020 11:56 AM

So, G55 (and later, G55 & Hui) ended up protecting the seer with their votes? Delicious.

I mean, G55 did abstain, but she always had the power to decide that vote.

Edit: crossed, haha, great minds

Rikae 05-17-2020 12:01 PM

Got to say, if Brinn's the seer I'm fairly proud of how I handled that day 2 vote situation, but of course I had no way of knowing if I was right or wrong and have been second-guessing it through the whole game
And yeah, G55, you definitely helped with the second guessing with your gloating. Had me second guessing the Lhuna lynch, too. Well cobbled.

Rikae 05-17-2020 12:06 PM

So, was your vote an attempt to flag her as the seer?

That Greeks bearing gifts thing ... ! I read those early posts so many times, and there were a number of bantery comments that snagged my attention like "hm, what's behind this?", and in that case I did that and didn't stop to answer my own question. :rolleyes:

Lesson learned: always answer all my own questions.

Rikae 05-17-2020 12:06 PM

"Your" = Cobbler55

Shastanis Althreduin 05-17-2020 12:09 PM

Brinniel as Seer... not what I would have expected. I'm a bit confused as to why I was killed, then.

++Kath

Rikae 05-17-2020 12:18 PM

Was like, "wait, what about Greenie"? Then went back and saw her on Brinn's list. Need more coffee.

So, bets on Rune and Boro?

Inziladun 05-17-2020 12:21 PM

At work today, and busy.

++Kath

Inziladun 05-17-2020 12:26 PM

If Brinn really is the Seer, one thing is clear.

That's a tough one. I think I'd go Rune.

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-17-2020 12:32 PM

Boro has been super-clever though. I thought Rune innocent in the beginning, but then we started differing in our opinions... especially concerning Lottie. I wonder whether Runewolf wouldn't go harder after her... but then perhaps his packmates didn't share the idea.

Anyways, occurs to me that through our vote toDay, we could have, y'know, suggested one of the remaining two (as a message to the Living) - but probably too late for that now...

Not exactly. I had a feeling she was up to something, but only seriously considered her as a possible Seer mid-game (but only based on her Day 1 posting plus the now revealed roles. I honestly didn't read the GT in enough detail to remember most people's posting since I died). I was 99.9% sure you guys were wrong about Boro being the Seer though. I was kinda surprised that Mac suggested it, because a different role seemed much more likely to me at that time.

Lalaith 05-17-2020 12:35 PM

Well I'll be....
++Kath

Well at least I got the Innocent Child right :rolleyes:

Sorry Eonwe, if you ever read this....

Rikae 05-17-2020 12:49 PM

Boro has been very clever. Question is, is he an absolute rock star of an ordo, in which case I am very impressed (he should probably be considered a gifted regardless of role in the future) ... or is he a wolf who tried a bold plan that backfired, in which case ... I'm still pretty impressed, tbh. I love that kind of stuff.

But at the end of the day, if it was a wolf plan it was a flawed one and I think Boro's too clear thinking to try it. So, Rune. Which makes this a very, very under-reindeer pack.

Galadriel55 05-17-2020 12:49 PM

Pro forma:

++Lottie

I hope you die, you obnoxious piece of absolute sunshine! :p

I am curious - if he is, in fact, a wolf, what do you think was his plan and where has it backfired?

Rikae 05-17-2020 12:54 PM

On the other hand, if Rune is guilty that means Boro, as an ordo, was right about basically everyone but Eonwe and still managed to not die. What are the odds?

Probably to flush out the seer, and the actual seer remained alive until the endgame, so that's a pretty major backfire.

Pitchwife 05-17-2020 01:03 PM

My gut still says Rune is innocent, and I'll feel super stupid if he turns out a wolf.

Possible. Though if the reason was "gain trust and steer the village"... I guess the optimal wolf ploy would be to combine those two. You gotta realize though, the longer you live that way the less chance of you actually being the Seer.

Galadriel55 05-17-2020 01:21 PM

And now we have to do the obligatory waiting till DL, and then till toMorrow, to find out who the last wolf was. Bummer. I wish we could fast forward.

I did provide cover and protect you from the infectors until yesterday. I hope that counts for something.

Why would Ordomir88 plead with Brinn not do dream him? He'd have nothing to fear. Besides, with just him and Rune left undreamed, the result would be the same either way. Nah, he just enjoys messing with everybody now. He's a wolf.

He basically made himself guaranteed to be dreamed by the actual seer, which is why I wasn't worried about it.

Why would wolf Boro either?

Rikae 05-17-2020 01:31 PM

(continuation of last)

Just banter, if he's a wolf Brinn would get him either way.

THE Ka 05-17-2020 01:31 PM

Brinn gave us marching orders for toMorrow if they're selected toNight:

If*Boro*is evil the QT vote will be for him. If he's innocent, the QT vote will be for*Rune.

Pitchwife 05-17-2020 01:41 PM

And you totally mean to stick with that, yes?:Merisu:

Huinesoron 05-17-2020 02:14 PM
