Um ... wasn't hinting guys. You can ask Glirdy. I apologised to him for missing the Day because I went out and got plastered Friday evening, came home and passed out.

Folwren, we're assuming Hestia chose a Seer because in the narration it states that 'her eyes are opened and she saw things she'd never seen before' or something along those lines. Eyes and see/saw pretty much = Seer.

Nerwen makes an interesting point about sally. She has been being teasing enough to potentially be our errant Zeus.

If phantom is going to sulk instead of helping then let's just lynch him anyway.

If Foley's a wolf she's played a blinder and probably deserves the win! If Mira is she does not.

To answer Folwren's last post:
I don't think you and Nerwen are connected. That's actually what I was trying to say. I was saying that you had mentioned Lottie (turned out to be innocent), wilwa (turned out to be evil) and Nerwen - who we don't yet know about. I was saying that if you were a wolf I would doubt you'd mention a packmate, ergo Nerwen is probably not wolvish if you are. Sorry, bit convoluted, and completely meaningless if you're not a wolf anyway.

I´ve been trying to do an analysis of stuff that happened since I was gone, but keep getting RL interruptions. I won´t be able to get back on for a couple of hours so I´ll post what I´ve got so far. Apologies again for being bitty – this is what I´ve got as far as middle of page 24.

Inzil´s point about Rikae´s defence of Nienna was interesting, coupled with Nienna´s own analysis of Rikae, where she found Rikae consistent and logical (something I found odd at the time) But would one wolf focus on another for analysis? A very bold approach – I´ve never played with Nienna before I don´t think...is that her style? Also, her hassling of Sally yesterday – what was all that about? Boredom? Distraction? Diversion?
Also – Inzil pointed to wilwa´s approval of a rather woolly post of Kath´s.
Quote:
Wilwa looks to have been waiting for a reason to praise Kath, who had been about as submarine-like as one could be.
Sally – her list of guilty/innocents is very similar to mine, and her schemes and plans feel like those of an enthusiastic innocent. But I don´t think I ever have played with a Sally-wolf so I don´t know what to expect from one.
Nerwen´s analysis of wilwa was helpful and incisive enough for me to feel inclined to trust her. Also her annoyance with surfacing submarines feels like that of an innocent.
More later tonight....

Gotcha! I totally missed that.

Or an errant wolf.

No, because sulky or not, so long as he's not a wolf, he's still valuable.

Ah, thank you, that's sweet. But I'm not a wolf, so don't worry about it.

Oh, I think I see. Well, alright.

Before you passed out you, erm, sent me some rather interesting photos. May want to check your sent messages. But don't worry, I won't forward them to anyone else. Unless of course they're willing to hand me a bit of cash.

....if that is true, Phantom, this is the wrong place to say it.

If it is false, that was completely unappropriate and I disapprove.

She thinks either that you drink too much or that you can't hold your beer very well.

But why? I never said what the photos were of. Since I guess I need to clarify, they were nearly all of the lense cap. You can understand then why Kath would be so embarrassed, as these pictures would provide further proof of her utter lack of common sense. And the pics that weren't of the cap, well- they were of various city scenes, but her choices in perspective and lighting and her post-pic adjustments to the exposure and the like showed no eye for artistry whatsoever. So, perhaps now you can better understand why she doesn't wish for these photos to be released?

Good grief.

Who do YOU suspect is a wolf, Phantom? What do you think, Kath?

I'm around now. Sorry I've been gone with work and such. I'll be around now until I decide it's bedtime... which will most likely be a few hours before deadline.

Phantom, Phantom, Phantom... what are you up to? I don't trust you at all... Nerwen as Persephone? Interesting theory but I don't know as it is conclusive. So if Nerwen is Persephone who is Hades? That is the more important question in my opinion.
