[Caranlondien]

We had the Shaman-suspects narrowed down to three, and the Shaman was in there. And the only one we didn't suspect was the Shaman!

And that Night, you sure did have fun playing with our minds, eh Farael? First he crushed our dreams, then got our hopes up... and the next Day crushed our dreams again.

Also, please note the excellent code I come up with towards the end. I know, I know, I was meant to be a spy.

NIGHT FOUR

Well, that was a close shave. Don't worry, you did great. Had I gone down, you were the one that would've sealed my fate, so you made the best choice. I think tomorrow, I will "reveal" myself as the Ranger. I'm positive that Nogrod and Sleepy will support me. I think it would make the most sense if you were swayed by it, since most others will be, but don't be an ardent supporter.

Now, about tonight's kill- we certainly have a lot to choose from. I would suggest not Naria- something about Zali's vote is sending up a warning signal. We need to get the Shaman tonight or the next, or we'll be in trouble. I'm going to take a look through the thread. Here are the possibilities:

Grendelien: village whittler
Celuien:lampwright
Naria:The grower of magnificent flowers

One of these three is the Shaman. All three of them suspected me. So I will likely be dreamed of tonight. We need to choose carefully tonight.

I tend to suspect Celuien most of being the Shaman, but that's just an initial, gut reaction. I'll look over the posts, too, to see what I can find. What are the dreams we know? I guess that we have to figure out who would have chosen to dream about certain people each night.

Day one, an innocent would've been the most likely dream, so we should look fo rsomeone trying to exonerate someone else.

OKay, I'm actually think it's Grendelien. Celuien seems to have accepted Nogrod's innocense early on, so it's unlikely she would dream of him. Grendelien on the other hand was quite suspicious of him during Day 3. Day 1, she was suspicious of anyone who voted Diamond18 (which could be her as a Shaman having dreamed of Diamond18 and trying to protect her, and would also lead her to dream of Jenny.) What do you think?

I noticed that Celuien made a (very) mild sort of analysis of Naria early on, saying she thought wanted to give her more time (i.e., telling us not to lynch her). Then toDay, first thing, she made a defense of Naria. The thing is, I think Zali might be protecting her toNight.

So, I don't know what to think...

Zali is most likely going to protect Nari. I doubt that Naria is a gifted- her behavior states otherwise. I've had doubts about Celuien being the Shaman for a little while - her defense of Nogrod on Day 1 would seem to strike the idea of her dreaming of him on Day 3, but I'll look again.

There was a PM here I forgot to save, but I think I said that I still thought Celuien was the Shaman.

And then:

Reason enough for her to dream of Nogrod. What say you?

Again, I doubt it. Zali's not very subtle, and I think her vote for Naria was an attempt to make us think she wouldn't be protected. I believe Celuien has come under just enough suspicion that she won't be an expected kill, and I also think that she was already protected last Night. Either way, I think it's worth the risk.

Have a nice Night! (Farael, what happened to that Death Scene?)

Oh, question for you Farael- if the Shaman is killed during the night, is there still a dream?

That's not really fair- if it was a seer, there would be no dream. It's like our last minute salvation has been erased. The strategy of Werewolf forever destroyed. Caran, unless one of us gets the dream, I'm ka-blewy. *sigh* But as the mod goes, so goes the game. That's just what we must accept when we sign up. I'm lodging a formal protest though.

Oy. Unfair! Maybe, maybe, maybe she didn't dream about you. I'm assuming, then, that she is the Shaman? I mean, the way he phrased it...

Well, anyway... ::more pouting:: It's not over yet. We shall prevail! We can do this.

Now, toMorrow we'll know for certain if Celuien was the Shaman. Assuming she is, if one of us does get the dream, what should we say? The best case scenario I can think of is that Celuien is the Shaman and one of us gets the dream, in which case you could say you dreamt of Zali and she's an orc.

This, I suppose, is where code words could come in. If I get the dream, I should use some word or some phrase or something that will signal it to you, so you know it's safe to go ahead and lie. This probably won't happen, but if it does, it'll be very helpful. It should be something that I won't just do accidentally (like starting 4 sentences in a row with the same letter or something like that)... And also something that has nothing to do with dreams or anything, because that might be seen through.

But anyways, how about something like, "But we aren't kablewy yet!" I could do the same. All the same, I've been working on the lie to lynch Zali for Days now. I think I'll stick to that. You just keep your head down- you're below suspicion right now, and it's best it stay that way. Now, for tomorrow- if I fail or get lynched, kill Zali, she's of no furhter use, and will only hinder us. Then I suggest Gren or Naria as the Shaman. Of course, next you have to kill Sleepy or Nogrod. Good luck with that.

If you have any other thoughts/suggestions/revelations, PM me! Good luck!

So, with the Shaman dead, if I get lynched tomorrow, kill Zali, then kill either Nogrod or Sleepy (whichever kill would cast the least suspicion on you, leaving alive the one that trusts you most.) From there you should be fine for the final day, as long as you stay calm.

Should I survive, we'll have killed two gifted in a row (go us) and kill Nogrod (the louder more dangerous one) the next night. I'll be lynched unanimously the following day. (I'll be providing the entertainment. ) Naturally, kill Sleepy. Then it's a simple matter of convincing either Naria or Grendelien that you are innocent. I would suggest waiting it out, and voting with whoever votes first (unless it's for you, of course).

Now I can finally go to sleep. Once again, good luck!
