I only saved pms from Night 3 onwards. These are all my replies, but as you see I quoted the others at length within them.

No, they probably won't... although, potentially pretty much anyone we kill could frame quite a few people, with the amount of suspicion going around the village.
Killing Mac would be unlikely to get you (Bes) lynchedñ I'm not sure why you say that. I think you're overestimating the amount of suspicion you're under, which is a thing first time wolves tend to do. Be careful not to let yourself get the jitters toMorrow.
If Mac's by any chance the Hunter he might of course decide to add any of us to his list on impulse– but that's a problem that isn't going away. A number of people have noticed how jumpy and "wolvish" he isñ may well mean something.
He's a very good player anyway, so worth getting rid of.
Thoughts?

Bes, I'm just reading through yesterDay now, and Mac has all of us as "undecided" or "tending innocent", so I'm not sure where you're getting all that from.
Not that his suspecting us would necessarily be a bad thing, as I said, except for that nasty little detail about the Hunter getting three shots.
However, I must confess I'd feel bad about killing Mac so early, when he hasn't played for a long time, and was killed on Night One in his last game (ahem! by me), so I'm currently looking at other prospects as well.
Back soon.

I think I could live (or rather die) with that, as we've got to get rid of the Hunter sooner or later, and our chances of escaping them (if it's not Mac) aren't likely to get better. It would suck to loose two of our pack in series, and I'd be sad to leave you two alone with the hard work to come, but still.
Don't know how I'll be able to fend for myself toMorrow - I'll try my very best, of course. Anyway, if I manage to stick my head in the noose, you two should keep your paws clean - or if you push what's falling, do it convincingly (i.e. with better reasons than Mnemo had against me yesterDay!). I'd think you have pretty good chances to survive for quite a while, so don't get tainted.
Another matter - do you think we can make any of the Lottie-wagoners look like they voted to save Mnemo? Difficult, as Mnemo had 5 votes already when Lottie got her 2nd, but worth a try?
Going to re-read the thread now for signs of Gifteds, other than Mac.

As I said to Besñ you're not under as much suspicion as you think... not considering how paranoid the whole village is getting about itself, anyway.
If not Mac, then I suggest Lommy, Nienna, or Eomer, who have all seemed quite odd, and whose deaths might cause a nice stir. Or, as I said last Night, Zil. He might be harder to lynch now, too. Or Boro– however, if my pm theory is correct, I think it would put him in the non-gifted category.
Yes to trying to frame the Lottie-voters– but be subtle!
Other than that, we'll have plenty of useful analysing of Mnemo to do tomorrow.
Now look, I really need to get some sleep, as it is very late here. Can I leave it to you to send in the kill, Pitch? I'm saying this in case you or Bes gets a sudden inspiration, or else just decide Mac's too risky at present, in which case pick one of the others. I'm not too particular which one.
~Nerwolf.

As you see, we really though Mac was a likely gifted at that point– and not a thought of Sally or Shasta. However, Pitch was left to make the decision on his own, and decided on Zil.

I was racking my brains for how to avoid voting you - thankfully others came up with the newbie excuse. Now we can only hope she takes Mac's advice and dreams someone else but you (or the rest of us)...

Bes is definitely not the logical person for her to dream, not with so many others looking worse.
Bad news is that Lottie is both good at spotting wolves and, I think, pretty headstrong, and she might just go ahead and dream Bes anyway... in which case you're dead, Bes, and there's not a thing we can do about it.
Good news is that if the worst comes to the worst, Pitch and I don't have any ties to you.
Oh well. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
And now I'm just going to take a moment to express my feelings on the situation:
^#&*@*@#*@#*#*@*(&&$@*%%#%#!!!!
First we lose the Night One kill, now this!
I just hope the next "surprise" works in our favour.

Unless the Ranger is one of those who doubted her reveal? Still, not bloody likely.

Not worth the risk. We'll get a free shot at her toMorrow night, so the known innocents will be down to whoever Lottie dreamed– if it's not one of us *crosses fingers*.
The drawback to so many villagers looking highly suspicious is that we can't bet on her dreaming any given person. Shasta is the most likely, but it would be a waste of a lynchee if we killed him and she dreamed someone else.

My brain's not exactly in perfect working condition either, and having a guest with me, I don't really have the time for another read through the thread. Having Eomer meet the Ice-Man is a definite possibility - if it won't look too obviously like framing sally. |
It would frame her nicely... but the problem is, Sally is quite likely to get dreamed by Lottie. In fact, after re-reading the thread, she looks even more suspicious than Shasta, what with all that talk of her "partners", and seeming to know Nienna was innocent.
So if we kill Eomer to frame Sally, and toMorrow she becomes a known innocent, it's a bit of a waste.
Unless either of you think he might be gifted? Because it's gifteds and/or dangerous and/or hard-to-lynch players we should be trying for– under the current circumstances, there's no point trying to frame anyone when we don't know who Lottie will dream.

What, you thought people were just kidding about him being psychic? Now you know.
...So... maybe Shasta after all... or else Greenie, who is generally seen as innocent... or back to Mac.
Thoughts?

Title : More on the Nightkill
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been thinking about this some more. I think not Shasta– if he doesn't get dreamed, he'll have his work cut out defending himself toMorrow, and if he does... well, it won't prove anything.
Meanwhile, if we kill him and Lottie dreams, say, Wilwa, we'd have lost two lynch baits instead of one.
How about killing Brinn or Greenie? They're in the hard-to lynch category, and they might be anything.
I have to go now. I'll try to be back before the DL– if I'm not, one of you will have to make the final decision and send in the kill. Sorry about this, but I have a bit of a timezone problem here ...
For toMorrow, I think we should lie low and say nuffin' until we know whether Lottie dreamed one of us. Or at least, say as little as possible. This is not just to avoid incriminating each other– if one of us makes a case against a villager and then is exposed as a wolf, it would be a waste.
What is extremely good, about the only thing that's really gone our way, in fact, is that the late votes last Night look just like a wicked wolvish conspiracy. It could be Days before the village gets that mess sorted out.
Back later (hopefully).
~Nerwolf.
|
Note that though we were talking about killing Shasta, we weren't thinking of him as a gifted candidate.
Oh, and I went into the next Day quite prepared to throw another of my poor little wolf-cubs to the lambs, or even be thrown myself. I had a nasty feeling Lottie wouldn't dream one of the obvious people.

Sorry to leave you alone all this time, Bes my internet died halfway through yesterDay. Not that it would have made any difference.

But anyway, that's what I was afraid of, with Lottie. She just does her own thing...
Also, Roa suggests we kill Eomer or Lommy, and find a way to blame Wilwa. Would it be wrong of us to take her advice?
|
Well, no, she's out of the game and she didn't know anyone's role. Besides, I've been considering Eomer anyway.
Not Lommy, though. I think she'll make good lynch-bait... quite a few people think she's guilty, including Lottie.

Yes, I'll send it in now.
For toMorrow's strategy... well, hopefully we can get the villagers to kill each other for a few more Days. Try and not attract too much attention to yourself. You should be all right, but that comment you made when voting Pitch, about "trying to find a reason not to vote him" might get you in trouble. You'd better just explain you didn't trust Lottie, and hope the rest will be put down to newbie-ishness.
I might go after Sally a bit– she went down in the suspicion lists after Pitch'sexposure, but I bet she's creeping up again now.
We really need our luck to change, though.

Dear Legate,
We have decided to eat Eomer toNight. We have had enough of his ice-related puns, and wish to put our theory that he is del-ice-ious to the test.
Yours respectfully,

Try and stay alive please, Bes. I've enjoyed playing with you.
However, if by any chance you do find yourself on the block, how about claiming to be a gifted? It might help me find the real ones.

On that note, it would at least be a way to find out if her reveal was real or not. I think it almost definitely was at this point, but it would lead to all sorts of chaos if she lied.
|
She got Pitch, remember? There's been only one innocent I've ever played with who told a direct lie about a Seer dream to get someone lynchedñ and it wasn't Lottie.
I want her to stay alive, for the present. All the people doubting her are making themselves look increasingly bad. I think toMorrow Night will be the time to kill herñ depending on what's happened during the Day, of course.

Boro and Mac really haven't interacted much. They're loud people that no one suspects, and much like I avoid interacting with you during the Day, they seem to do likewise.
I propose, for serious this time, that we take Mac (and if he's the hunter, maybe Sally by extension?) Out of the picture.
|
Mac + Lommy is also a possible pairing... but whatever. I agree, it's high time we killed him. I've thought him a likely gifted from the start and even if he's not, his death could make things interesting, and help narrow down the possibilities for who the gifteds are. (For instance, I doubt it's Mac + Brinn).
Unless one of us has a sudden inspiration in the next hour, I'll send his name in for the kill.
~Nerwolf. |
I never did get around to asking what Bes meant about Sally– I think he hadn't read the rules about the Hunter properly.

Dear Legate,
After having Inzil for a main course, A Little Green as greens and a del-ice-ious Eomer dessert, we wolves have had a sudden craving for fast food.
We'd like a Mac toNight.
Yours sincerely,
The Wolves.

Look, Pitch started the jokes, not me.
I'll post the rest later.
