Seriously?! You switched the roles of you and Shasta purposefully for the sake of having that sort of trap up your sleeve later?!

If so, then I could totally kiss you right now!

(If you weren't already taken, of course.)

(Or am I mistaking the meaning of the tongue-out smiley? Is that "ha ha I'm joking" or "ha ha gotcha"?"

Dear me. I don't like any of this at all. Nog, the seer?!? What? Gah. He could very well be being truthsome, and tp etc. ganging up on him to distract. Or he could be trying to fool us all into going after tp, which people will undoubtedly be willing to do, considering phanty's verbosity. I simply don't know which faction is right. Both of them have been pinging my "uh-oh" radar. I may abstain today if this goes on much longer.

Nogrod- all that your long post tells me is that you are a good prepared Cobbler and that you planned ahead for the possibility of helping your side with a false reveal. If I had been assigned that role it is precisely what I would've done.

Everyone pay attention to this next bit-

About your Agan dream- YOU EASILY COULD HAVE ALSO LEFT A CODED HINT ABOUT HER SPECIFIC ROLE IF YOU SO CHOSE!!! But I guess you didn't. Why? Because you didn't know.

And once again I put forth that there's no way I would ever believe you'd be anything other than completely guarded as a Seer with a set-up like this. The idea that you were hinting to us on Day 1 is something no one should swallow, especially if you knew your dream target was so valuable!!

It's actually very rewarding to catch the phantom from making an intentionally bad argument to prove one's point... Just love it.

Think of it again, tp, if you were the seer and dreamt of a lover on N1, would you make a hint of any kind that you have a lover (which means losing two innocents if the baddies find out about it)? That dream is called nightmare from the seer's POV.

Sorry, bad call my friend...

But even if you manage to lynch me like it seems to go, I do love the fact I got a few things right.

No. I didn't say "hint". I said "CODED HINT".

Huge difference.

A code is something that will not be found but can be pointed to later in order to establish truth. In this game the Seer would be smart to leave codes rather than hints. The point is to be able to prove your identity without calling any attention to yourself beforehand.

You, however, did the opposite, and left hints but not the necessary code.

That doesn't make any sense Nogrod. But it sounds a bit like the whinnying I heard the night our horses were shredded. They were a courageous breed, though, and I reckon you're scareder

Okay.

I actually am Beren. I was writing an angry post in response to Nog's revelation where I would have expressed my regret about not having said I was Lúthien, and I realised it wasn't too late and I could actually still try it.

If Nog was the real seer, he would have said: "Heh I happen to know you're not her, can you trust me now?"
Instead he totally ignored my comment (yes it would've been hard to come up with an acceptable explanation).

I think the phantom can vote safely.

So yeah gender-bending indeed. We had a cross-dressing night in the last large Downer gathering I attended.

I really need to eat. Nothing since noonish.

Best of luck in the night- especially you, Glorfy.

Oh dear. Now my head is all spinny. Clever Agan.

Because, even if he turns up Cobblerian rather than Wolfish, it's better than an innocent (and I'm sure you can gather which version of 'innocent' I meant).

EDIT: xed since Ang

...I mean, deviousness is quite a fun survival mechanism, but you young uns seem to use it as baroque titillation...

Wilwa as well?

Oh my.


Heh, it seems I have a chance to not go somewhere a lot of people crave to go?


Okay. If someone wishes for two more dreams, then change this voting pattern.

Aww Nog, 'tis sad. Maybe you shouldn't have ignored my reveal #2...

I'm tempted to stay here till the deadline but it won't make a difference because I know who's going to die and his role isn't revealed anyway, so it's probably bedtime for me. (Ehehe it's almost 6. )

Shasta & Mänwe: I'm pretty sure Nog is a cobbler, but it might be good to confirm it, just in case. But if you think Mänwe's alignment is more useful information for us, I'm all for it.
