Don't you just hate people who confuse you? Eomer and LMP have left me completely clueless as to what they are and why they are saying some things and just confusing me in general really! Eomer especially has me in the dark with his statement about knowing who two of the wolves are. I looked at both Firefoot and Holby's ideas about why he would do this and still have no clear idea on an answer - any chance of you clearing this up Eomer?

All this confusion is also giving me problems with forming any feelings one way or the other with people. I have absolutely no idea who is a wolf and who not. I understand the logic (and maths

) that say we have an unfortunately high chance of lynching a gifted villager and then having another killed at night. Therein lies the major problem as if a gifted villager revealed themselves during the day they are pretty much guaranteed to be killed by the wolves at night. Even with ranger protection they would only be safe for one night so it's too dangerous to reveal themselves. Of course they can post what they know (in the case of the Seer) but not outright so unless there is some major hint within the post we will not know that they are the Seer, and that can't really happen because the wolves are equally capable of picking up on this hint.

So really we can only hope that the mythomaniac chooses to be the Seer. If this occurred then though we would still have more gifted villagers we could then hope that both dreamt of wolves. If they said so outright we could lynch them over two days with the ranger having a one in two chance of protecting the Seer the wolves chose to go after on the first night.

Well that is the sum of my rambling thoughts. If anyone actually made sense out of them do let me know!
