I didn't plan to reveal, but since Nessa died a wolf, I wanted the village to get two in a row. I have a terrible record as seer and sacrificing myself seems like a good choice since I have a known wolf.

I was afraid of this.

I am the Seer.

My Night 1 dream was Kitanna. Hence, my "vague" suspicion. I was hoping to get her lynched.

Unfortunately, my dream last Night was Nerwen.

Why didn't they kill me last Night? I can't say. Maybe it's just an exceptionally bold pack confident of their one remaining member.

Oh well.

Actually, it would make sense. If you're Radagast and they'd killed you, we'd most likely have lynched Kit toDay anyway, whereas this way, they gain a chance of getting you lynched and using toNight's kill on someone else. If the third wolf hadn't come under any suspicion worth mentioning yet, it would be a viable strategy.

All I can say is that I tried to be vague enough in my suspicion of Kit that they wouldn't home in on me, and at the same time leave something to go on in case they did.

Also, I thought Nerwen might have been trying to raise Sally as an alternative lynch to Kit after Sally's vote for her. That's why I picked Nerwen last Night.

Hm, I must say you did strike me as the most seerish-looking person in this village exactly because of the vagueness of your suspicion.

Let's not be hasty though. I seem to remember I helped to lynch a seer Kit once, I'd be loath to repeat that mistake. But I must say her "I know a living innocent but I'm not going to tell you" attitude isn't exactly trust-inspiring.

Fair enough. That's pretty much all I can say, but if anyone has a question, feel free.

I'll be honest, I've given you a wolf already. And if that still gets me lynched I don't feel inclined to help this village further. I will reveal my dream if this village trusts me enough to lynch Zil. When I die, I'll die innocent. Zil and his packmate can't say the same.

You may all waste the day trying to decide who you want to believe. I have nothing left to say on the topic. Once I get back to my house I will concentrate on finding the third wolf.

And if we lynch Zil and find him genuine, the point will be moot anyway, is that it?

Can I just "This" that entire post? Because I have.


Kit would have been nicely on the lynching block again toDay, so I could see her trying a reveal, but at the same time I could see a poor and frustrated seer!Kit knowing she needs to impart her wisdom while she still can.

How convenient, then, that Dun has dreamt Kit, and Kit Dun. Might we entertain the possibility that they are both wolves, and that this is a rather elaborate scheme? Of course not, because the real seer would have spoken up by now. (Unless of course it's me and that "reveal" up there was, at least in its former parts, genuine. But how likely is that, right?)


At this moment I'm more inclined to trust Dun, but I know nothing for certain, at least as far as wolves are concerned. I'm off to tidy my lair, but I will return later with less confusing (but still frustratingly honest, apparently ) thoughts.

Can't say I'm surprised. So who of you two is the fake?

If you chose Zil, you let a wolf walk free. You'll lynch me, I'll die the real seer and he'll live an extra day while a different innocent takes my place tonight. There's nothing I can say to convince you of my innocence over his fake reveal. I still have a dream and that person is alive unlike Zil's conveniently dead dream of Nerwen. I'm going to hold on to that information because I won't give it to a village that doesn't trust me.

You can all think for yourselves and decide who to believe. But remember you'll waste the day and that's exactly what Zil wants.
