Interesting thing from Nog the day I self-voted:

Of course Nog would be aware that the purseholder is better night-killed - that lynching the purseholder could lead to a second innocent death.

Would he, as a wizard, be worried about his own safety in that case? Or would he have thought I'd be hunting Nerwen, or someone else?

He might have thought it was still a better risk.

Maybe I'm just tired and thick-headed right at the moment, but why would I have said that aloud were I a wizard? What would have been the point? "Hey you trolls, this person is the hunter!" Wouldn't that have been something rather left unsaid as the wizards would like to have the hunter lynched rather than run on her/him at Night?

Yes, I admit it wasn't probably the smartest thing to speculate upon it even as a troll (if the Wizards hadn't come to think about that possibility) - but we trolls are dumb you know. And you can't actually blame me or anyone else to have been a little bit annoyed by your burst there and trying to make our minds about what on earth you were doing and why.

Rikae: I see you're building towards a campaign, but sorry, I'm not in a mood for a fight. Another day I might have. But what I can say is that you're wasting your energy.

I realised now that Brinn couldn't have been someone the Wizards thought was the seer, you know why? Because people she suspected more or less at all (and voted D2&3) are known innocents now (well, one of them aka me is only known to me for sure).

If I'd been a Wizard, do you really think I would have been advocating that interpretation as the only one whose role you don't know in Brinn's list is me? Why should I have sticked on the point that wolves kill those they think are Wizards if I was myself one who had killed people at Night just because of that? And yes, even after being the last one left...

That's enough said of me toDay, I think.

I'm not building toward anything, I'm just trying to find a wizard. Aren't you? Sorry for going after you when you're tired, but if I sense evil I'm not going to look the other way.

Oh, because you would have that explanation all ready to go, perhaps? As for a reason, you do need to be consistent with what you were saying about the Volo kill, I suppose.

Of course wolves don't actually do that, and you know it. If wolves just killed someone who suspected one of them strongly every night in hopes of getting a seer, they'd be nicely showing the village the path to their door. Certainly every time I've been a wolf there has been much debate over whether someone is really a seer or bluffing or just doesn't give reasons in general etc. etc., because we wouldn't want to needlessly incriminate ourselves.
