You're right, in case it's a traditional werebear that is...

Now you're taking the easy road once more tp. Why isn't Gil modfired? Any ideas about that? If a wolf, Boro would have to take some drastic moves as he is a certain seer target - so how nice if Gil indeed is the seer and he can roam free with his "revealment"? And face it, with no seer-revealment at this point of the game one could actually bet on that. I mean it's not that huge if actually. Looking at Boro alive this late and no seer revealing makes it quite probable indeed.

I kind of remember there being a false seer that had a certain percentage of the dreams right and wrong. And anyway, you can't know his dream on Agan to be a fact indeed. He might have easily fabricated the Agan stuff as her role was generally known before he "revealed"!

And with you... well how do we know what you are? So we can't just assume you're honest just like that even if you trail a "revealed" seer - and even if you were an innocent, he could have just guessed it.

Be my guest.
Nogrod– it is true that, with Boromir's history of successful gifted impersonation, I believe no claim of his should be accepted without a lot of scrutiny– but I really don't see what good it would do him... Okay, there's the standard trick to lure the real Seer out.... but no such person has come forward.

You say, that's because it's Gil... but that would require the wolves to be virtually certain it was. So why wouldn't they have eaten him last Night?

What else could it be? A Borowolf trying to take an innocent phantom down with him? But all that does is buy the last wolf an extra Day or so which he wouldn't have needed if Boromir hadn't done this.

EDIT: x'd with Brin and some phantoms.

Yes, morm, you confessed. Here is your quite unambiguous confession:

So, you're the village Jedi, morm? I thought that was Legate.

Look, if you want to be lynched so badly, why tell us all this? Why not just say, "yes, I'm a wolf"? I think you're bluffing.

Just ask Boro how much fun it is to hide right under your nose. I have no doubt that Boro is likely the seer and I have no doubt that he dreamt of me and thought he saw a wolf but it's fun to tell you all the truth and have nobody believe me.

We're going to double-lynch the Wolves. Everyone has already voted for their Reps according to our double-lynch voting plan. After you cast your vote for Boro then I will cast the final vote and our set up will be complete.
Yes, I only got halfway through the Day before getting interrupted by a phone call, but I think I got the idea pretty early on. And if I hadn't figured it out by the end of page 32, I would be pretty dense.

++Boro for rep

We have enough No Filibuster votes to eliminate that possibility, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyways, I'm off to finish catching up. There's so much to read...and I have this horrible habit of skimming.

Well, Brinn, the only major development is that morm has now semi-retracted his confession and is saying he isn't a wolf but something else evil which

a.) appears to the Seer as a wolf

and

b.) will become extraordinarily powerful if lynched, sealing the village's doom.

As I said, he's most likely bluffing.

Heh, that sort of reminds me of the last WW game...

It didn't turn out so well for Fea and Eomer either.

I'm all caught up now. I should be around for the rest of the evening, so I should be able to contribute something later. Anyways, I apologise for being so quiet. I don't mean to, but between RL stresses and 48 hour Days, I'm starting to feel worn thin.

Btw tp, you have nearly 300 posts in this thread. Is that some sort of record for a WW game, or have you done this before?

Don't worry about morm's story. Our job is to play according to the rules that we have been given. So even if morm has a secret Mad Bomber role that kills everyone when he dies, it would still be the correct thing to lynch him, as we have not been informed of any such role.

Ah, so we now have Brin's vote. And I shall cast mine-

++Sally for Rep

There we have it. The Reps-

Boro- 3
tp---- 3
Ner-- 3
Sally- 2

As it stands currently, Boro will vote for morm and I will vote for Nog, with Nerwen and Sally abstaining.

Just so that there are no mistakes, I shall declare my vote intention before I actually cast the vote, and Boro will approve it. After my vote is up, Boro will cast his. But before either of us vote, Nerwen and Sally should declare their intention to abstain, just so we're all clear. I know it sounds a little silly, but better safe than sorry.
