I'm not happy with Sally's reveal, either. What's the point of a Hunter reveal, anyway? It makes no sense for us to kill her, does it, we'd just let her decide the lynch instead of us, and lose two villagers instead of one. And if she's really the Hunter, there's no way the wolves are going to go after her now - thus narrowing their options for the Seer, and basically making her own gift useless. I don't get it. Posing as Hunter might be a feasible tack for a Wolf though, if she trusted that we won't choose to lynch her, or a Cobbler: ideally, we'd spend the Day discussing who she should take with her, and when she dies it all turns out to be for nothing. A complete waste of a Day with practically no danger to the wolves at all. Gah. My head hurts. I have limited time toDay as well but I'll do my best.

1) Would a wolf false reveal when there's no danger for her yet? Doubtful unless she thought a packmate was in danger. A reveal causes a stir and other discussion would be diverted, at least for a short time. 2) Did Sally think she was being helpful? I had to drop out of a game once and I offered my hunter skills up to the village because it was earlier in the game. If Sally is innocent and truly the hunter she may think being sacrificed will take down a wolf too. The odds of getting a wolf are 1/3. Hitting another special role (excluding cobbler) is almost as likely though. And asking Sally to tell us her choice may force another valuable gifted to reveal. Why lose a known innocent, and one who is too dangerous to kill at night, when our village is so small? 3) Sally could still be a wolf or cobbler trying to create confusion, but now the real hunter would know who to go after. I don't think Sally is a wolf. A cobbler? Maybe. The hunter? Maybe. As a wolf, doing a false reveal doesn't gain her anything, she wasn't in danger of being lynched. As the hunter, she becomes a known innocent that wolves might not want to kill because she could have one of them pegged. As a cobbler, she fulfills her role and we sit and debate instead of focusing our efforts on wolf catching. I'm going to sleep a little while longer. When I return I'm going to scrutinize and comment on everything I missed Day 2.

Burned potatoes. Better? I was saying that I thought you made a blunder.

Quote:
I agree with you that we should just lynch the wolf and let sally choose a different target - hopefully another wolf - thus being more effective. But I don't find her furry for that. If I say that A is a wolf, you say that B is, and someone else says that C&D are, we can't have a proper organised lynch. Then, according to her, we lynch sally who takes out a wolf. The only problem is that we won't get an organised sally-lynch either. Some will say that it's our only chance, others will call it absurd. Quote:
Quote:
I have to say this about you, Greenie. You're starting to look more and more like a wolf trying to save a comrade by labeling sally guilty. @Kit: If you think that sally could be the cobbler, which role do you think Nog has? They can't both be cobblers, and Nog just as good as fake-revealed Seer. So far there's me and Bom thinking sally has the village's best intentions at heart, and Greenie and Nerwen thinking that she doesn't, and Kit undecided. Is that right? Edit: xed with 2 Nerwens

Anyway, here it is–
Pitch, Day Two. #118. Thinks Kath was a trailless kill. Still suspicious of Nog for his gifted-speculations. Asks Lottie to explain why she said Nog and Greenie might be packmates. Comment: I don't think she has, yet. Lottie? #128. "Flip-flopping" about Kit. Her posts look "fair, balanced and independent", but she has done a very peculiar about-face overnight on Greenie, which he finds suspicious. Quote:
#132. Accepts Nog's point that Agan, not he, was the first to speculate about G55. #136. Rule discussion; disagrees with Shasta that Agan is "witch-hunting" Pitch himself, but wants to know how Nog changed from "someone you [Agan] trusted enough to save his life yesterDay to a baddie you could imagine voting for toDay?" #141. After Kit's bad-news announcement. Quote:
#144. Quote:
#150. Shasta-Agan row "interesting". Shasta's case on Agan is "twisted", and Shasta himself rather reminiscent of Shastawolf. But he 'just can't read him". Agan, meanwhile, is "a sphinx". Comment: this post does look quite a bit like Seer-code for "opinions not based on my dreams". I doubt that alone would be enough, though. #154 Dubious about Greenie's apparent trust in him. #157 "Could get behind" Nog's (inevitable!) suggestion to lynch the quiet ones. #162. Wants to hear more from Agan. Would like to give Nog, Shasta and Greenie more time. Has "seen nothing furry in Lottie (yet)". Comment: that last is another *slightly* Seerish remark. #169. Thinks Nog and Agan could be packmates; "not fully at ease" about Shasta, but not ready to vote him. #181.Votes Agan, to find out "if [Nog] speaks truth", promising to "examine Shasta toMorrow" if Agan turns out innocent. Well, that was a lot of use. The only things really noteworthy are his suspicions on Shasta and Kit, especially his saying he intended to vote the latter. However, it doesn't seem all that likely either of those would be taken as Seer-hints– his suspicion of Kit, for example, is clearly based on her posting. Is it possible a Kitwolf or a Shastawolf wanted him killed just because he was looking too dangerous? Or is that a reach? It does seem a pretty clumsy move.

Explanation for why Sally could be a stupid hunter
I thought there were only eight people left in the game. At that point, it's essentially game over unless we can be sure we kill the right person. By revealing as the hunter, I removed myself as a lynch target, which increased our chances of getting a wolf toDay, and if we realized partway through the Day that our target was another gifted, the hunter is always preferable to the ranger or seer as a lynch target. (ETA because the Downs somehow ate part of my post: Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it's the hunter's job to take drastic and suicidal measures.)
However, there are nine people left. Thus, I should have waited to reveal until toMorrow. I miscalculated and made a really, really stupid mistake, and I apologize for that. This is going so very well.

If we're in doubt about whether someone is wolf or cobbler, that person is not a wise lynch target for toDay.

But didn't you know there were nine people by the time you revealed?

A quick comment...
We (Lommy, Greenie, Legate & myself) are having a Star Wars marathon. The fourth movie just started. I haven't had time to read toDay's posts yet and will be online only around the last hours - and I don't yet know how we're going to solve the playing problem with Greenie with most probably only one internet connection (but two laptops, anyway). But we'll both take part in this later on. One thing I thought you might be asking about - and I actually saw someone asking about it altready loading this page... the "Agan is a cobbler affair". If you look at her post just above where I say that, she basically makes a "Legate 180" - and adding that to my earlier suspicions kind of made it and I felt I was sure she was the cobbler - and I just wrote it before reading further. When I then saw someone was interpreting my words in a seerish manner I didn't wish to object to that as I knew we had this "marathon-day" toDay and I was ready to take the bullet during the Night if I was right (thus saving the real seer) - and I was quite positive I was right... or then she would be a wolf which would be even better. But I clearly was wrong... and reckless to that matter, looking from hindsight. Anyway. I'll try my best later on (only three movies to go ).

Well, obviously I was wrong about Agan and am back to square one. I do have to wonder if Sally is a wolf claiming to be the hunter because she believes the real hunter won't come forward and waste his/her role like that... but I'm leaning toward Sally being an innocent frustrated at her own mistake.

Bom:
Post 1 & 2: Not much. He did say he was going to post a Zil analysis but it was a mess, his always are. I'm confused as to what that means. And then he didn't vote. The only thing from today is that he "revealed" as an ordo, but who wouldn't say that? He does support Sally's plan of everyone revealing and I don't like that he agreed so quick with only "it can be a mess when people reveal" as a point against it. Sally: Post 3: Her first real substance. Quote:
Post 6: Votes Nog. Today she's revealed herself as the hunter. I don't think she's a wolf, but I haven't decided if she's the cobbler or the hunter. Nog: I have other things to do, so in the case of vocal players I'm going to summarize on the whole instead of post by post. Quote:

So what I don't like about Nogrod is how he seems to insisting how people play the game, and that's to his model for WW. I found it irksome and at times rude and I agree with Pitch when he told him to get off his high horse. I bolded a few lines that give me extra cause for concern. Nog is very good at playing the village and leading everyone into the wrong direction. He'd be a perfect cobbler, but for these reasons I feel he could be a wolf playing on the cobbler role. He stated he won't be around much today, so it's hard to say what he'll do from here...

Lottie, I reread your post. Sally's name was bolded at the start of a new line so I misread what you said was actually about G55. That certainly makes me rethink my position on you.
Shasta: Post 1: Says he will look at Agan. Post 2: Quote:
Post 3: Says "I knew it" in response to Nog's "Agan is the cobbler." Post 4: Agrees when Lottie says Agan should be the lynch candidate, hardly a surprise. Post 5: Votes Agan. Agan is now a proven innocent and Shasta was very wrong. But looking at his break down of Agan, I don't feel like he's particularly evil. His case against her doesn't look forced, but more like an innocent trying his hardest to find a wolf. Today he's voted Bom and he's leaning toward an innocent Sally. Other than that there hasn't been much. Green Shasta Sally I don't think Sally's a wolf, a false reveal when she was in no danger isn't something I see wolf-Sally doing. Shasta, though wrong about Agan, did seem genuinely suspicious of her and made a compelling case, too bad it was wrong. Yellow Greenie Nog G55 Nerwen Lottie I won't have the chance to review Greenie's others post, so my suspicions for yesterday still stand. Nog, he's guilty of something. Wolvery or cobberly, I'm leaning more toward the latter. I just don't know what to think about G55. Nerwen hasn't said much that stands out to me, she could be the submarine wolf. I did have Lottie in the red until she pointed out that I misread her post. She stated being busy on Day 2, but she did answer the questions I asked about her choices yesterday. I don't like her reasons that "they were just posting suspiciously though" Red Bom Bom was too quick to trust Sally today. He's been a submarine for sure. As an innocent I almost always see him jump all over trying to defend himself when the slightest bit of suspicion falls on him. Now he's suddenly so cautious and quiet? I don't trust that.

I slept through a good portion of the day, and then I refreshed the Downs....and killed the post I'd been working on before.
I think Bom is our best bet for toDay. His reaction to my reveal was too eager, possibly opportunistic, and he's acting like a Bom!cub. Galadriel and Nerwen had fair reactions to my reveal, but I think an innocent Nerwen would have simply shook her head and moved on. Instead, Nerwen brought it up repeatedly, doubting what was a clear reveal and trying to dissect my motives when there was next to no reason for me to make such a reveal if I were evil. (Also, I would expect an innocent Nerwen to be more understanding of my mistake, which she wasn't and, I believe, still isn't. It seems like staged upset at my mix-up.) EDIT: x'd

I need to vote now because I feel like my friend might not like it if I highjack her computer during her birthday party to vote.

Mmm. Kit looks opportunistic as all get-out now. The fact that Bom gets jumped on as soon as I vote him also has alarm bells going off extremely loud.

I don't like this Bomwagon that's springing up. We need to get a wolf toDay, and I am not at all convinced that Bom is, in fact, a wolf. I'd be much happier with maybe a Nog or G55. I feel like "he's a submarine" is a really poor argument for lynching someone this late in the game, especially when there's so much riding on this lynch.
EDIT: xed with Shasta

This sudden interest in lynching Bom makes me quite worried... Had you asked me on whether to lynch him on D1, I might have supported the idea just on principle. But now as the numbers have dwindled I'm not too happy with what I see. It looks like too random an idea right now - but convenient for the wolves if he's innocent...
Shasta, Kit, Galadriel and Greenie top my list now (I would not be surprised if Nerwen or Sally were wolves either - and well, why not Lottie to involve you all), but I must admit that anything I say now is built up on very weak considerations as I have not been able to concentrate on the posts toDay... PS. Darth Vader is dying just now... I might be able to concentrate in a moment. ![]() PS2. I'm afraid we (Greenie & I) will have some problems with sharing the connection now as we only have one mobile internet-stick and changing it does seem to take time... EDIT: X'd with the last three it seems...

Day 2
G55 Post 1: Pitch is likely innocent. Bom is Bom and that doesn't say much. No conclusion on Nerwen, but knows she can be "deadly sharp". Myself, Shasta, and Greenie are hopefully innocent. Quote:
Explains her "Night" quote from Day 1 as just lamenting her luck, which was what was generally considered. Post 2: Quote:
Post 4: Argues with Nog about calling his posts illogical. He didn't acknowledge that she wasn't including all his arguments in that statement, just some (her post 2 of the day has the "illogical quote in it). She highlights a few arguments she's talking about. I won't quote them here because it'll be a long annoying quote for everyone to read. Here's her post. In short she says she makes confusing posts too and that wouldn't be why she votes Nog. Quote:
Quote:
She can't decide on Greenie. Bom, Sally, and Nerwen are hiding. She wants to see more Nerwen than the other two. Lottie seems innocent, but is too "sweet-tongued" for her taste. Shasta isn't unreasonable and no opinion of me. Post 6: Votes Nog. She found his posts illogical, but I want clarification on her "attracts too much attention" posts from earlier. Today: The main thing I want to touch on now is the fact she has completely written off Nog as the cobbler. She does say he could be a wolf, but seems to dismiss this for the belief he's the cobbler. Based on her own belief that he is thus, she questioned me why I said Sally could be the cobbler and not him. Nerwen: Post 1: Highlights that she thinks Lottie was suspected more for backing off than for suspecting Bom. Post 2: Says there's no such thing as a no-trace kill, but there's always questions about why so-and-so, but not blahty-blah. And that's all she wrote. Nice for me when I'm commenting on what everyone said, but bad because I barely had an opinion of her Day 1 and this gives me nothing. We'll see what happens today. I haven't noticed anything that really stands out yet. Loslote: Post 1: She still isn't happy about Nog's reasonings, but isn't so ready to lynch him yet. Quote:
She says Kath accused just about everyone. Wolves could be hiding in Kath's list or hiding on those not listed, which only Sally made it onto. post 2: Quote:
Post 3: Quote:
Today she's said three things. Two of which were "I trust Sally" or "This isn't a Sally-trick". Then she says she thinks Sally is a wolf masquerading. I'm just going in order of who posted first, second, etc. But I need a break, so next it'll be Bom, Sally, Nog, and Greenie for sure. And eventually Shasta, Agan, and Pitch.

++Bom
With two hours to go and not a lot being said, I'm throwing down my vote for Bom. He fits the profile of "sit back and watch" wolf, and I feel like he'd be new enough to wolvery that he'd be more likely to play it too cautious and say nothing rather than be too loud and potentially slip.
