Yes, either way, we don't know whether the person is telling the truth, but if they aren't, they'll be caught soon enough.

EDIT: X'd with Wilwa, in reply to Loslote.

The quoting pms was the only thing I was talking about. If you think your lover is a wolf, by all means find reasons in their posts to suspect them. Just don't use the argument "they said x to me, therefore they are evil." What they say to you in private should stay there. What they say in public is another matter entirely, and that is fair game.

And what would be the point of faking that you think your lover is a wolf? A fake seer reveal can be faked well and last for a few Days. A fake lover reveal, where you say your lover is a wolf and they aren't, can only last one.

Okay, so unless we start over, I have to vote pretty soon.

I'm not voting Glirdan or Izzy because I've never played with them before. I'm not voting Morsul because I always want to when he's not evil. I'm not voting Shasta because what I've seen so far makes sense. I'm not voting Rikae because she doesn't seem evil, even if we disagree about the pm thing. I'm not voting Lottie 'cause I'm not Nilp.

I'd perfer not to vote for Inzil, Sally, Lari, or Alona.

I might vote for either Nogrod or Wilwa. So far it's just a gut feeling, but I'll look more closely at them.

EDIT: xed with Rikae, Morsul, and Inzil.

"Quote", in my understanding of werewolf (after three years of playing), means a direct quote. Mentioning something one learned through PMing, as long as one doesn't quote, is certainly not forbidden. Gifted pairs have done it, lovers have done it... I've absolutely seen a ranger who could PM with a seer say, after the seer's death "he told me X". There is nothing wrong with it.

Did I say it would last longer? One day can mean a lot sometimes.

Yes, after their death. Before that there are reasons why they told you one thing and everyone else the other. Personally, I'm too "nice" (as in infuriatingly so, not that anyone else isn't) to consider doing that. Probably this is another occasion of my acting silly, but I still wouldn't. After their death, of course, it's all fine and dandy, they can't be affected by it anymore. But what they pmed was in confidence, trusting that you would treat it that way, and as long as they're alive and could be harmed by it...

Also, you wouldn't get the whole story. Maybe someone pmed "Grr I hate seers" in the context of "I wonder who they'll dream they'd better not dream me because that would be a waste grr I hate seers because they only get one dream per night" (yes, lame example, but you get the point). Just because they say something, if you can't see the whole thing you're bound to make a mistake.
