I get the distinct impression that the WereUnicorn has no desire to reveal. They're the one of the 4 wolves that really does not want to die. The other wolf team is probably even nervous about killing them, because it makes an innocent, and that sucks for them. So yeah, ideal situation for village, but not quite so much for wolvies.
I have a question about the Unicorns. They die and an innocent comes back in their place, correct? Well then is it really in the villages best interest to lynch one either? An innocent comes back and in the case of the wereunicorn a wolf is knocked out too, but then we have a known innocent that could potentially be only useful for a day before they become a nighttime kill. Two days if the ranger survives and protects them, but as a known innocent they become a likely target at night. So is it really in anyone's best interest to kill the unicorns? Maybe I've misunderstood how this role works, but it seems like it'll only benefit the village for a short while before we get thrown into confusion again over roles.

Is that a threat to get Wilwa on your side, Boro?

Yeah, it'll only benefit for a while, but like if you guys for example are at 3 innocents, 2 wolves. Then the innocent unicorn dies you are at the same, but the new innocent will probably die soon, but atleast you're no further behind. If the wereunicorn dies then you're at 4 innocents 1 wolf. Even though that innocent will die soon, it's still giving you an advantage for a while.

Yes, it probably will. I just hope that the wolves realise that they have 3 other people out there that are more of a threat to them, and that I am a *potential* ally. So hopefully that's enough for them to choose to keep me around.

I suppose. I guess I just find the whole idea silly and baffling. *shrug* I'll just hide and pretend the unicorns don't exists and we just have wolf and innocent right now.

Oh, and RE: Is Uni helpful? ... you guys are missing one important question. Think about who might be Revived, considering that neither of the Lovers can.

Yeh. She has a point. Noggykins had another dream. But by the time either Unicorn would die (earliest today), then Nog would come back tomorrow, and his dream could be irrelevant by then (person could already be deaded).

That is an intriguing possibilty, that the Unicorn might be killed in the hopes that Nog could be returned with a dream to share. If that happened, what Wilwa said might indeed be the case: that his dream might be dead. However, I think it would be worth that risk. What I noticed though, was that our moddess did not say anyone in particular would definitely be brought back, but that we ought to consider who might be.

Our hunter could be brought too or Morsul (though he dropped out on his own accord, so probably not.) We have no guarantee it'd be Nogrod. So would we want the risk?

edit: Best of luck. I won't return until day's over.

Since the Lovers can't be revived, it would be either Nog or Nerwen, so it's a 50/50 chance to get that last Seer dream.
Nerwen wouldn't be able to tell us anything new (we know she hunted sally), but I certainly wouldn't mind having her back as a known innocent. So yes, it would be worth the risk.
(Did you have to say something so sensible when I was feeling pretty sure you're a wolf? Not making my life any easier...)

In response to your question here, I will refer back and quote something I said in the post which you are responding to.

Ehm yes, my sentiments about the WereUnicorn was wishful thinking - I thought it was quite clear... that I did not expect the WereUnicorn to actually reveal....


If Wilwa is not going to help us, then why should we spare her? Her win depends on her survivial. Which entails that we are helping her, by not voting for her - or in the wolves' case, not killing her at Night. So why exactly should we help you, Wilwa?

Regardless if the Unicorned is only perhaps helpful for a short amount of time - that is still helpful. I think you may either just A)honestly don't understand it, or are purposefully misunderstanding it. If there WereUnicorn perishes, a wolf is knocked down - to three, and the innocents' numbers increase by one. I would say at this point in time - that is a huge help, regardless of the length they are around.
