If Eomer is faking it then the real seer would be smart to step forward now. (Note though, that if you are Nerwen or Shasta I won't believe you. )
True, that.

I don't know what Eomer's playing at, but I can assure you, he's not the Seer.

Ask yourselves why a Seer with two wolves in the bag, which he's apparently claiming, would spend the Day driving that hard to lynch an unknown– an absent one at that?

Yeah, that is one thing I found a bit strange. Dreaming you and Shasta is reasonable but that seemed like quite an odd tactic at the time.

Doesn't mean I trust you at all now, but you do make a fair point.

Well, that was an interesting Night and this is turning out to be an interesting Day. I'm turning in the night, but I'll be back bright and early tomorrow to take a look at what's happening.

Continue discussing.

Looking at how little was known about anybody, I think Eomer just chose the two best/most dangerous/sharpest/etc players according to his experience just to be on the safe side.

Doesn't mean that I trust Eomer completely, but he seems Seerish enough to me.

Edit: xed with Sally and Boro. Yay! People posting!

Yeah, they make some of the sneakiest wolves ever, so it's not surprising that they were dreamed.

Also, while I'm inclined to believe Eomer's claim, at least for now, I still don't think the McCaber lynch was right. I mean, earlier on Eomer said something along the lines of "I'd really like to find out McCaber's role", and then uses everyone's trust to get them to attack McCaber, based on very little other than him being one of Inzil's suspects, when he is supposedly the Seer and could have let us kill a wolf to prove his seerdom. And that is why I'm still not sure how much I trust him.

And it's late now, and I don't think I can even type coherently, so I'm going to sleep now.


edit: x-ed with Nerwen, who makes a similar point but more violently.

I want to see what Eomer has to say in defense. His reasoning would be more accurate than mine.

Plus, if he's truly the Seer and the Ranger protected him last Night, he only has one Day left. Is it in our interests to waste a lynch opportunity on him?

Anyways, I'm in for the night. Wonder what happens to this game while I'm gone.

Morning.

I didn't go after Nerwen or Shasta at all yesterday, that's correct. They had barely posted anything on Day One. There was no, shall we say, evidence to look back upon. By leaving it until the last minute, we at least have both of their Day Two machinations to assess.

Sorry about McCaber being ordo after all, but I think his was a useful lynch - as he had been implicated by Zil's slaying.

By the way: Bom's innocent. And thanks, Ranger.

I asked myself that before. And I answered: we have 2 known wolves. We need to find the third. Eomer seemed genuinely curious about Cabbie's role. If he wasn't lynched, Eomer would have probably wasted a dream on him. Plus, his job as the Seer would be to find all wolves. He revealed 2 of them to the village - we can take care of them even without him. While he's still with us, he wants to find the last wolf.

Does this make any sense to you?

Anyways, if he is not the Seer, as you say, you and Shasta aren't wolves. We shall see when we find out your roles.

I've been upstaged, and I don't like it.

Eomer better provide some bloody solid reasoning for his actions (or lack of actions) yesterDay, and he better provide it quick, because I don't know why he wouldn't have said what he did earlier in the Day if he was telling the complete truth.

I can't stay, alas. My people (read, campers) need me!

And he should have another dream for us today, who should be alive.

If it's the Ranger, probably best to keep quiet, but Eomer already knows what to do more than I do in this game.

But think about it. Eomer's main contribution yesterDay was to steer the lynch right away from any of the people who had actually acted suspiciously (yes, including you, G55), and towards McCaber, who hadn't, but who had been implicated by Zil's death (which is to say, he was framed, as I believe I suggested earlier). Then, at the last minute, with the lynch assured, he suddenly "revealed' two people he'd never mentioned before as "wolves". I would suggest that this is the action of a wolf who knew that he and/or his packmate(s) would otherwise be in the fire toMorrow, and wanted to take down an extra innocent, and perhaps force a Seer-reveal.

EDIT:X'd since G55 at #227; grammar.
