You are wrong. And what is this nonsense about Dueling Wizards and the way I reacted to the Morsul lynch? What are you even talking about?

I'm going to say this (hopefully only) one more time: Rikae is clever. She knows how to manipulate other players. Lynching a packmate so openly is a very bold, very risky maneuver, and one I can see a wolf Rikae making. It is not out of the question for her. Stop acting like she is not intelligent enough to do something like this.
Yeah, great. I'm actually proud of catching that one wizard you keep calling "obvious", though, so apparently I'm not as clever as you believe.

A loss for whom, I wonder.

People, please! We should not assume Rikae is innocent just because Brinn seemed to trust her. Brinn also trusted me, and I see none of you treating me in the same way you all seem to be treating Rikae. It's not the double standard that bothers me, but rather the way in which some of you have resigned yourselves to your fate if Rikae is a wolf, going so far as to say that even if she is a wolf, she won't be lynched. What sort of an attitude is that? I am sick of this village turning a blind eye to the antics of someone who is certainly intelligent enough to pull them off, and if you're not at least going to consider what I've been saying, I'm just going to let you kill me and pay the price for your ignorance. I've done my best this game, but if the village isn't going to fight back, I might as well be done.
Or maybe they think it is unlikely I'm a wolf? You know, for that matter, you have gotten a pass for a while because of your Pom vote (even though Cab's wolfishness reduces that halo effect now). People get moved onto the "innocentish" list for things like being defended by a seer (and no, I don't see any parallel between what she said about you and about me; I scoured her posts for anything useful and I didn't find anything else) and ensuring that a wolf would be lynched. Of course it's no guarantee someone is innocent, but to use logic to discern who is more likely innocent is not "being resigned to your fate". This is totally ridiculous.

I bet you wish you could have killed me without worrying about a ranger save, but this is your only option now. Right?

EDIT: X'd with Nog.

You know, I still don't know what Sally means about the Dueling Wizards stuff, but it is interesting:

Right before posting on Day 1, I had the vague idea "I'll joke about the rules being like those in Dueling Wizards, and baddies will be the first to comment on this".

That's where my post about Cab, Pom and Zil came from - they commented on it.

Now Sally is trying to make something out of it. If she is a wizard, that's just beautiful: I think I'll have to do things like that more often!

In before Sally accuses me of planning it all that way!

Sally / D6

Looking back at yesterDay, what kind of catches my eye is the suddenness of Sally's attack on Rikae.

It's about 4 hours in to the Day when Rikae votes Zil. Zil snaps twenty minutes later and self-votes.

Sally comes in twenty minutes after Zil's self-vote with a few comments on some people (not even mentioning Zil or Rikae). Then about an half an hour later she posts a full attack on Rikae just out of the blue. And she makes her case on other things than what had just happened, only coming to the Rikae -Zil exchange in the end of her post speculating that if they both could be wolves...

She comes back much later (after a night's sleep) and in a more conciliatory tone (understandable whatever her role), but seems to underline the possibility that if Zil is a wolf then Rikae might be one too just bussing her mate. Or that we should take what Brinn said about Rikae with a pinch of salt - speculating with the different possibilities why she might have said what she said about Rikae.

Then she says she will be back shortish and look for all, especially Zil only to come back fifty minutes before the DL saying she's still on D3, and finally posting a pretty random-looking collection of points (mostly on the first Days) 7 minutes before the DL - deciding that Zil is evil (at that point Zil had two votes and Sally herself had one).

What? Thinking Zil must be a Wizard on the basis of the first Days (last post she refers to is #383 while her own post is #660)? And then adding that Rikae could be his packmate...


This could fit a Wizard trying her best when things start to roll the wrong way.


EDIT: X'd with Rikae X2

I had read through the entire thread, but had only made notes on the first three Days or so. Again, I was unexpectedly handed a lot of work and obviously had to attend to that before Werewolf. I sincerely apologize for not being able to share more, but I had no choice.


x'd with Nog. Good night, dear. Sleep well.
