I hope not, or that rule is a load of hokey, taking the perfectly good job of rangers and other specials away. Then again, if Lommy somehow managed to cast her vote at the right time everyday, everytime, I'd be more curious than upset.
That likelihood is a little too far out, even for me.
Though, as far as rules go, I am not so sure beyond what happened last night and toDay's immortality protection. What will happen in the future, like most humans, I don't have a bloody clue. I am trying to go by only the information I am sure about.

At first, Menel didn't seem so much suspicious as acting himself on the pre-day, to me at least. Though, with the tight rope he has now and before, and no one to be his net (so far), he's acting a bit out of his element, so to speak. With Nogrod obviously not a wolf now, we'll have to see what Menel does.

I have to agree with some of Isa's point on the lover aspect. Unless the lover role has developed into 'mutual recognition of a lover from afar' role or something. I don't think it is actually a complete role but an additional one chosen at random, which would make sense game wise. Though, I am really foggy on additional roles and such.

Okay, that is all for now. I have to get some sleep for tomorrow morning, but I should be back before the day is up. If I can, I'll have to make an early vote, with probably even less reason, ugh c'est degoutant. Until then I'll read over what I can.

I believe Lommy either had protection for last night, or for toDay; not both. I'm not sure if people are not seeing when others are clarify posting it, or just purposefully muddling it to benefit their wolfish ways.

So really.. which would Lommy of chosen? To protect herself last night, or toDay?


I'm going to be paying more attention to McCaber.. and go look through his posts more finely. He was only on the edge of my concentration, but his last post just seems to be a summation of the previous posts before that.

Sorry, not a big post from me, at least not at the moment. I was just checking the site before I went to bed and wanted to respond to this. Might help clear things up. I'm pretty sure that Lommie does indeed only get protected for one period (i.e. one night or one day) not both. However, if Lommie knew that Noggie was the guardian, she would know she wouldn't need to protect herself during the night. Therefore, reason dictates that she'd prefer to use it during the Day.

But the flip side is that she couldn't have known if there was more than one guardian (or for that matter if Noggie really was the guardian. By the way I'll have to look into that lovers' aspect more. It's worth consideration even though I don't think that Noggie and Rikae were the lovers) and so not protecting herself last night could have been a fatal mistake. But having two guardians in this game would just be plain silly, so my guess is that Lommie assumed she would be safe for the night. Besides, it's better (from a furry standpoint) to be unlynchable during the day than unkillable during the night, as the odds of being chosen by the guardian at night are slimmer.

Long and short of it is this: I think Lommie probably protected herself for toDay. Don't quote me on it, but it seems to make the most sense. So I think we should indeed try to lynch another werewolf today and then take care of Lommie later. My current lynch choices woud be McCaber and Valier, in that order, as I think both look quite fuzzy but I'd like to get more from Val in the line of evidence before we kill her.

I'm off to bed since it's almost 2am. I'm planning to sleep in (yay Saturdays!) but will definitely be up before the deadline and will be able to post, vote, etc. Good night ladies and gents!

If I counted correctly, there are 11 of us left...five of which are wolves. There's no way to know for sure whether Lommy protected herself during the Night or Day...she obviously isn't going to tell us. But if we cannot risk the chance of a no lynch. Because if we did, the wolves would basically win as long as they successfully killed their victim tomorrow Night.

Okay, I just realised if Rikae is indeed a wolf, we still have a shot of winning even if there is a mis-lynch or no-lynch. But still we can't ever know that for sure...so I'd rather try to peg a wolf that is actually lynchable.

Right now, McCaber is looking most suspicious to me. I didn't like his switch to side with Naria yesterDay, saying he would've voted Roa when he looked like he was going to do the exact opposite. He also said a few comments to Nogrod I thought were odd.

Menel looks pretty fishy to me, and he could quite easily be lying about his role, especially if Legate was gifted. My main worry though is that he could be telling the truth...then what a horrible mistake that would be to lynch him. Valier made a valid point about him, but she has no way to prove her own innocence. If Menel is truthful it doesn't necessarily point to her guilt because Legate could've easily been a wolf too. If a wolf, Valier would know this and could easily be playing us. But I just don't know. I'm split between the two of them...either one of them could just as easily be innocent as they are suspicious. Which is why I'd rather not take the risk of lynching either toDay. There's no room for any error, simple as that.

I really don't like rushing this at all and I wish I had more time to think this over...but I have to leave this second and won't be back before the deadline. Therefore, I have to go with the one who looks most wolfish to me:

++McCaber

EDIT: Heh, just realised I quad posted...
