Or you all could just vote a little earlier. That way if you have voted for the Divo he can let you know and there will still be plenty of time to think about what you will change your vote to. (And this way the Divo doesn't have to step out needlessly.)

Ah, very nice, Gwath dear.

Back but soon going to supper. And thus I leave you with a quote (which I didn't even realize I knew....weird....)

"Permit me thus to be torn from thee." (Well, at least until my tummy's full.)

(As with Gwath's, no googling. Enjoy, darlings~!)

As long as you don't call me "Gwathie."

Well...it's not Shakespeare, but that's all I can say for sure. That, and I wish it were. Shakespeare, I mean.

But of course there is this....

If I had been assigned the role of Walter, I would have, without a doubt, seen the benefits in impersonating the Divo. I mean, usually a suspected gifted would get killed in the Night, and thus when you keep living and keep living a gifted impersonator would be swiftly suspected.

But not if you're impersonating the Divo, for they cannot be killed at night, and so it would be no wonder that you continue living. It is protection from the village and the Critics to be the suspected Divo. And thus I would have, right from the start, set out some clues that, upon looking back, would "prove" my claim as the Divo.

So, if our resident Walter sings the same way I do, he will be as likely as the Divo to be believed. In that case an early reveal (as in now) would indeed be nice.

What if the current Divo is unable to around a lot, and the resident Walter takes your advice, makes the divo claims says..."Here's my proof?" We all soak it up than we have a mess on our hands. The divo is lucky I'm not a baddie this game, if I was I would have no problem with making a false divo reveal right now and get the real divo lynched, when xe would step out to refute the claim. I can be quite convincing when I'm evil, ask Shasta. Speaking of which, where'd he run off to?

I considered it but decided against, in favor of, ya know, not being killed.


Indeed, not our dear Billy Bob. Think back a bit (read, while) farther.

See, if we lynch an innocent today and an innocent dies in the night (which will happen because the wolves know they are able to kill at least me), we lose. It'd be 3-2 for the wolves as the cobbler can join them then.

And I don't want to see a critic about to be lynched today come out shouting, 'I'm the diva!' and have some poor wavering soul retract and vote someone else just because they don't want to risk killing xem. Also, it's usually difficult for an innocent to predict how the vote goes.

Gwath, I'm not planning to become a dictator... yet. And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight.

edit: xed with phantom. I will probably have to vote early (ie an hour or two before deadline) because I've promised to go to cinema with some friends and the movie they want to see begins at, erm, don't remember. Around deadline anyway.
