Blah. Alona, I wonder if you could answer a very simple yet important question for me. How much do you love me?
Lots, of course, dear. Are you asking if I love you enough to sacrifice myself to let the Ranger live another Day?

No, but I'm glad you're willing. Does this mean you're willing to protect other gifteds as well? (Not that I'm at risk of getting lynched, but....heh. Just for fun.)

I don't understand how I could protect you, seeing as I'm not the Ranger. And I inadvertently helped lynch the Hunter on Day 1

Well of course not! But it's nice to know I have your support and that you'll help.


And regardless of the fact that Morsul took Glirdan, I think it's best he died when he did, because I'd have wasted a dream on him otherwise.

Of course, just not when you're spouting Princess Bride quotes while serenading Boro at the same time.

So....this is an interesting position you've put us in Nogrod.
Yeah, I read that wrong. I thought he was implying he knew there were no ordo/ordo pairings, which was of course strange. Silly me, go back to remedial English. *headdesks* And believe me, there's no gifted/gifted pairing, as you so helpfully pointed out. There could be gifted/wolf or wolf/wolf though.

On the second one: Lottie was an ordinary innocent and I am an ordinary innocent. I do trust what the mod writes in the roles department after the narrations and the PM's he sends me concerning my role - so I tend to say I know it.

Also I know you don't know it. But I only said I know it.
Well I don't know it because there still could be an ordo/ordo pairing, which wouldn't completely surprise me. I just find it interesting that there were specifically enough roles (i.e. wolf, gifted) for half of the village to have one. It seems too neat for me. Or am I overanalzying?


Anyway I need to take care of a few things then I'll finish Lari.

That's how I'm thinking it too. That way everyone either has a role or is Lovers with someone who does. It just seems the most likely to me.

Alona, what do you think about this?

Plus plus plus, in the admin thread Gwath wanted either 12 or 14 players, and he wanted a traditional lover role. I bet he got rid of that because we ended up with 12, if there had been 14 those last 2 ords not paired with a gifted or a wolf would have become the traditional Lovers.

It just makes more sense to me this way. I'm not saying I'm definitely right and that we shouldn't consider other combinations, I just think this is more likely, from a Mod's point of view.

That's what I though initially as well. And now as we talk about this, that was one of the reasons I suspected Lottie as she didn't look like a gifted - so I thought she could be a wolf then.

My dilemma right now is that I need to go to sleep like asap. and actually my guts say I should vote Izzy for her defence of me from Sally's "analysis" - instead of you guys who are planning to lynch me and letting the wolves win... Gah!

I mean look at this:

Why would an ordo say something like that? Or look at the detached tone of it... A wolf might wish to ease up any possible further suspicion by me (maybe some analysis I might do?) by showing that kind of understanding and good will to make me feel nice with her. (And sorry Izzy if you're innocent - with these suicidal guys you'd then be the only voice of reason here.)
