I am trusting the declared gifted and know I am innocent.

Ergo I am looking at Farael, Firefoot, Rikae, Lommy,Lal, and Kath.

3wolves, 1 Ranger, 2 ordos.

I am inclined to trust Lommy and Lal still looks the most wolvish but I am looking at all as I read through but I am running out of time......

I think either Firefoot is an innocent that made a mistake and Rikae's jump on it is a wolf move to try and draw people away from Lal. Or Firefoot made a wolf slip and Rikae is correct and therefor innocent...hmm which one is it? I doubt both are wolves.

That's tricky indeed. Like Ang, I was almost ready consider Firefoot innocent before that, but now I'm not so sure anymore...

That is actually the reason why I'd be more comfortable with lynching Lal than with lynching Rikae...

And I'd really, really wish to hear more from Farael to make any assumptions about him. For example, he's the only one who's not accepted Ang's claim (because he hasn't been here) - and thus we can't be 100% sure of Anguirel's innocence. I'd also like to hear Farael's opinions on other people than me, since that would help me to conclude is he a wolf or not.

Let's just lynch a wolf toDay and it will be all easier tomorrow... for those who're still alive. Then we can actually conclude something from the dead wolf's opinions about other players and other players' attitudes about him/her.

Am I the only one who currently feels very un-Day3? This is more like Day4 or Day5, probably because so much people have already died...

EDIT: xed with Boro and Mith

Anguirel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
It amazes me that Lal and Rikae are both persisting with conspiracy theories; one would think wolves would avoid such stubbornness to avoid implicating each other...perhaps one is a misguided innocent. But the game has been going their way for some time and they are conceivably overconfident.

I've decided to trust Firefoot for now as so many of my suspected foes have tried to use her as a catspaw. I trust neither Farael nor Lommy, with Lommy being the more suspicious of those two to me; I think Rikae said something about her seeming innocent because she was enjoying things so much, which doesn't follow to me - looks like covert gloating.

I shall stay my knife till after the lynch. And I'll vote to lynch

++LALWENDE

for now.

After some thorough consideration...I'm finding it difficult to believe Farael is a wolf. I just don't see a wolf not being involved in this kind of situation. It just doesn't seem like something a wolf would be doing in this spot.

Though I am more inclined to believe Rikae is the wolf here. Let's remember that Firefoot has been someone that has faced considerable pressure and tough suspicion the last two days...therefor perhaps the wolves were confident they could make a case against her and when Firefoot makes an admittingly suspicious looking slip that makes it easier for them. I'm thinking Firefoot made a mistake (an innocent one) and the wolves from the start were planning on trying to get her lynched as she has been facing tough heat this entire time in the village. I mean Firefoot did make a bad mistake, but wolves have to be very cautious with what they say, Firefoot doesn't seem like the type of person that would let something slip if she was a wolf. I'm not absolving Firefoot, but I'm more inclined to believe Rikae is the wolf in this spot.

With that being said, I find the most suspicious person today being Lalwende and this is probably the most confident I've felt this entire time (or even in a long time):

I don't get it, Boro, what was I supposed to do when I saw that? Ignore it? And what innocent reason could there possibly be? Apparently Firefoot is not the type who would make a slip as a wolf, but as an ordo she would forget that two people were still alive?
It sounds more like you've already decided you don't trust me, and therefore anyone I suspect must be innocent. Excuse me if I suspect people based on evidence, rather than "just because". I didn't realise logic had gone out of style in this game.

I am just over half way through my review ..... and at the moment I think the most likely wolf combo is Lal, Firefoot and Rikae ... but I am not certain. it is the interraction so far... Lommy "feels" honest ..and if she is a wolf -fairplay.

Kath and Farael seem too disengaged but I am less sure of Kath and may be making a very wrong assumption on Farael based on what hasn't happened today......

I just thought of this...

Actually Rikae and Firefoot could be both wolves. Just imagine the following scene: Firepaw mad a mistake. Wolfae saw it and realised someone will spot it sooner or later. So she decided to point it out herself to look good and save what was there to be saved in the wolves' point of view: her status, if the village was to find out Firepaw was a wolf.

I think there's a very good chance that she's a wolf, and there doesn't seem to be much choice for me right now, anyway.

I'll be around, though.

I don't see me finding enough evidence to put anyone ahead of her so I will stick to my guns....

I like Boro's list of suspects, though I agree with bumping Lal up on the list... Even if I still think Rikae's on the top.

So now Rikae's jumping on Firefoot, because "no one will listen to her" about me and my lies. One of them is probably a wolf, and I think it's Rikae. She has gone with convenience when it comes to voting. Hey, at least she's been consistent in that, right...

Kath is a little more suspicious to me now, perhaps cause her vote doesn't feel right. It seems too early...but then again, we get one retract.

So we have to be careful, and watch out for a Wolf who's around near the deadline... So personally, I'm still saving "both" my votes.

I'm going to go read through the thread a bit more. Sorry I was not around until now.

((My internet was out.))

No, Wolfalin, I'm "jumping on" your pal because she made the most egragarious slip I have ever seen and looks even more wolfish than you. Not that you don't look wolfish, and if she's revealed for what she is you won't look quite so innocent anymore.

Well I'm sticking with the prime suspects I've had since the last Day as I'm truly thrown by what happened last night and at the end of the last day. At a loss for any other breakthroughs I may as well. And why not, as inconsistency seems to be a factor shared by those both suspected and those not suspected right now. If I go in a new path I will be doomed and if I retread old ones I will be doomed. So I will stick to gut feelings and my convictions and can at least go out knowing I was tue to my own senses. Alas, no time for any analysis much tonight. (but I can do it again next time I play! Yay!) So long and thanks for all the fish...

Rikae, all I'm saying is as cautious as we all are about what we say, wolves have to be more cautious as they are the one's that fear staying alive more. And that it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the wolves have decided to keep Firefoot around to see if they can set her up for a lynching considering she has been one of the most highly suspected people this entire village. There's no need to get angry, my decision over you and Firefoot is not final, just pointing out what I think is happening...though I could very well make it final if you wish?

Edit: x-ed with Lommy and Mith

And I'm one of the most highly suspected people myself, both yesterday and today. If you want to vote for me, be my guest -I'm doing my best to help; and I'm not about to hold back any thoughts or information I think might be useful just to avoid being lynched myself. If I do, at least I've had my say.
