It's nice to see you are all so obsessed with me.

Did anyone actually read my defence, because it's all quite puzzling to me.

Why would an unsuspected wolf or EW reveal if I was a wolf, merely to save me? I'm already under so much suspicion that there is absolutely no chance of this working. If it works today, it will not work tomorrow. So, Di, you are obsessive, unwilling to debate, and mad.

Not for any reason I can think of. But if you were the EW, that would be a different thing... (just like I said before, but you might have crossed with that)

I'm not mad, I'm excited. I'm pretty sure I've uncovered an evil plot.

(And I LOVE all the drama today. It's what I joined this game for, after all.)

I never claimed I assumed so. I just wanted to see what turns up if we assume so. And there was nothing interesting, as you see.

I think that was pretty much all I was talking about yesterDay... Anyway, her tone/style, mostly, and later the fact that she "suspected" me. Usually she 99% right aabout my role so this total misinterpretation made me rise my eyebrows even more.

Yes, I do. But I don't like the way you're trying to befirend me... I don't trust you.

McCaber, morm and Kath are real submarines. Greenie has slipped under my radar too.

I don't like it how Lalaith is so blindly working on the principle that the EW is dying to find the GW. Surely he wants to find her, but is it his sole scrying principle? I doubt that. After all, he's far less desperate for a duel than the GW...

On Day1 when they get more kills if they all survive the Day? Unlikely.

Or something similar. Weird thing to say. Very eager to direct the accusations but unwilling to take too much responsibility?
The simple answer: I was annoyed. I was not sure about Agan's role and it irked me that peple believed me simply because we're RL friends. That doesn't make me infallible about her, wuite the contrary.

I would not give a role to me - you don't get the skill to match the hype - but I don't doubt I've been scried.
This is an interesting line, and weird, but it kind of matches with the current speculations about her role...

I think most of us believe that the wolves and EW don't know each other. Could be very true, but I don't think the EW has to let ALL of the wolves know/communicate between themselves. If they'd picked two particularly sneaky schemers, s/he could've informed the two of each other and let them loose on the board.
That was an awesome game, but I wouldn't compare it to this one. I only claimed to be gifted when I was feeling I'd get caught anyway, more to stir the pot than to actually save myself or any of my fellows.

Why Lalaith seems EW ish to me is that she's thinking so much from the Ew perspective. Also, she looks like she was asking advice from Roa the ex-EW.


edit: xed with everything but Di's post after mine...

I'm not sure that Rikae was entirely unsuspected. But I think you would have to be the EW for a wolf to do something this desperate. That assumes, of course, that you, as EW, would have revealed yourself to at least one of your minions. Hmm.

So, IF Rikae is trying to distract us from Cailin with a phony "reveal", then Cailin must be the EW. And if that is the case, tp, then it is useless to try to lynch Cailin and really does make more sense to lynch Rikae, as Roa has pointed out. However, the Rikae-Cailin connection is highly speculative.
