Ranger- you didn’t protect anyone the night I died! *pouts* I practically begged the baddies to kill me that night. I figured at the least they’d kill but an Ordo, but at best I would attract both the Bear and the WWs (cutting down the losses for the Night), or that the Ranger would shield me from the kill. Ah well… at least you saved Morm.

And Morm- (I see Boro has already mentioned this) when you were making your comments about the Gifteds on the day you died and saying that Phantom would agree with where you were headed- I actually thought you were about to falsely claim Gifted status in order to remove your name from the lynch board as well as seal your death that night (thus shielding the true Gifteds). I figured the true Gifteds wouldn’t have questioned you at all, seeing as they’d realize you were signing your death warrant for that Night with your claim, but I suppose you were worried about some Gifted not evaluating the situation carefully before rashly questioning your claim?

And just fyi Rikae, once you posted this on Day 2 -> “Well, I definitely don't think they're sheriffs, at any rate“ I never intended to vote for you after that point, but I still wanted you to look rather lynchable.

In addition, on Day 2 I truly did desire to see a tie in the voting (a three-way tie would’ve been excellent). Why? Well, my reasoning is more than slightly underhanded. Having modded WW games before, I know how strong a Mod’s desire is to see a good game (i.e. not a slaughter, but a balanced contest). Since we had lost our Seer already on Day 1, the good-guys were behind the 8-ball just a bit and so I figured if we could tie the voting score, if yet another Gifted happened to be on the chopping block, Boro’s coin would’ve somehow found a way not to kill the Gifted.

So yeah… I was banking on Moderator tweaking and betting that turning the lynch into a coin flip was the best way to avoid another disaster. Does that make me a cheater?

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention. I got Wilwa. That means I win. Take that, baddies!
