Lover's PMs - Day 1
I found it too difficult to edit our PMs, so here they are in their entirety. Feel free to peruse or skip as you see fit ...

Delighted to be teamed up with you. Should be interesting. We have quite different playing styles, I think, so hopefully they will compliment each other and stand us in good stead.
That said, I think that we have quite a difficult task ahead of us if we are to stand any chance of victory. It’s going to be tricky keeping both of us alive until the end, particularly while both Wolves and Bear are operating at Night. On the other hand, if we do manage to avoid them, two kills per Night could work in our favour as, the earlier the game ends, the better chance we have of winning.
I haven’t got much in the way of strategy worked out at this stage. I figured that I would just approach Day 1 as I normally would as an innocent. As the game progresses, I think that we will want to favour whichever team is gaining the upper hand as, again, the swifter the end, the better our chances. But for now, the best that we can do, I think, is to keep our eyes open and share any insights that we get.
Let me know your thoughts.
Oh, and just so you know, I will have to vote by 1am GMT at the latest, which I think is about 4 hours before the deadline.
Cheers

It's mutual.
As my lover, you have every right to know how I got roped into this game: Nienna promised me that I could emulate Poe at all turns and play strictly to amuse her and Mira.
Of course now that they've gone and given me a role, I shall do exactly what I'd planned on doing (draw attention to myself; wax poetic; be emo), but I shall do it with the knowledge that hopefully being the center of attention keeps me alive (seer ought to dream of me; it's tradition. Wolves and bear don't kill someone that might get themselves lynched...).
I'll be around at deadline, most likely, however I won't be around for the first half of any given day. Like today, when I had time to check PMs, but don't have time to check the thread until later (possibly much later).
With love,
me

I always find myself wanting to lynch Morsul on principle, because his logic tends to be off in ways that always seem really intentional. And I can never be sure if he just missed a few logic or math lessons, or if he's trying to sow confusion.
It doesn't really matter to me who dies during the day, as long as it isn't one of us. While a shorter game does have its practicalities, the threat of the Bear is pretty high, since bears can kill anyone without leaving any real trail. They need not worry about what it will 'look like.'
Still, they're hard to track, so I don't really propose going out and trying to find one. But I won't be sad if the village stumbles across ours by accident.

Indeed, and with some style. Bravo!

No, not yet. My suspicions are very much as expressed on the thread. I always mistrust Roa on principle but that's probably just me. I have no particular view on Morsul but it's only his second game and he's still getting to grips with what's what, I think.

Agree with all of this. Our main priority at the moment is keeping ourselves and each other alive. I seem inadvertently to have improved my chances by drawing attention to myself with this 'friendly Wolf' fiasco (which was a genuine misunderstanding). I see Nogrod thinks that I may be the Cobbler as a result of this, and I see no reason to disabuse him of that notion - it may help keep the Wolves from my door.
Got to go now, but I'll be back in around 2 hours.
Love and smoochiness etc

It's not just you. I just tend to feel bad always going after the same people just because I never trust them. Mostly because it bugs me that people go after me on principle instead of because I've done anything.

I was so confused! I went through the admin thread post by post trying to figure out if there was a Friendly Wolf I didn't know about, then I called the mods.
I think I'll finish a series of drawings and then pretend like I've been gone doing things if anybody asks why I haven't posted more. Real reason? Nothing I care to post about since there hasn't been much since I posted.
Huggles and suggestive winks,
-me

Not a lot of time, as I have to vote soon and then retire for the night.
Roa is getting on my nerves and my argument with her is drawing far more attention to me than I would like. But I can't resist rising to the bait. I like a good argument, me.
Sorry if it gets me lynched. Perhaps you might look into killing Roa for me if it does.
I am most probably going to vote for Morsul. I think that there is a justifiable basis for doing so and what he did was rather Wolfish. With four Wolves, bagging one toDay would probably be to our advantage.
Love etc

I shall kill whoever it seems will most cripple the village with their loss. I'm like that.

I'll be voting either Morsul or Hakon, due to their inherently flawed logic. Hakon blatantly ignoring the 'no meta' rule, and Morsul forcing me to give an impromptu probability lesson when I'd rather be coloring.
Though if I need to save you, obviously I will.
Love and nuzzles,
Pookie

Fair enough.

If we both vote for Morsul and he is lynched and turns out to be a Wolf, that would be good. He probably isn't, though. Merely a n00b.

Appreciated.
Is it just me or are Roa and Noggie both being wilfully obtuse? I suspect that Roa is just being her usual aggressive self (although she would be a formidable Bear). Nogrod's uncharacteristic aggressiveness makes me wonder about him.
I am very wary of Pitchwife at the moment. I suspect that he may be a Wolf, as he is acting just how I would expect a Wolf to act on Day 1. Then again, my early Wolf suspects usually turn out to be Seers ...
I have had some thoughts about possibly declaring at some point and trying to make a deal with one side or the other, while using the revenge kill as a threat against anyone who might threaten us. I checked with Nienna before the game, and we can share victory with either the Wolves or the Village. While the Bear's alive, however, there is little sense in doing so as we cannot share the victory with him and so will be unable to strike a deal with him. If the Bear gets killed though, it might be something worth thinking about.
Love etc

Roa always seems to be willfully obtuse. And every time I try to pin Nog's role, I'm wrong about him. Seriously, every time.

I'll have to go with your instinct on that, since I didn't really get anything from him. Then again, since we have a more or less 'neutral' opinion about the other players, I'm not specifically looking. I usually give it a Day and then do a massive amount of note taking.

This is an interesting idea. Let's hold onto this. I'd be perfectly willing to try a coup, but the timing would have to be right.
Batted eyelashes and strappy heels,
