I agree, but my only other theory is that...

I think it's a weak theory and I think it's far more likely that Agan is a wolf. My third theory is that the wolves want us to do their dirty work for them... but why would a true Seer out Rikae as an Ordo when she was under no pressure?

Still, I'm willing to give Agan one more night, since we have 2-3 wolves out of 9 villagers. That means we have 6-7 "good" people. We can afford to give a "likely wolf" a chance to prove us wrong, since the Wolves will likely kill her toNight anyway if she's our Seer.

Well, I can see why the seer who expects to die the next night would reveal an ordo. At the very least, you'll have one less person to analyze toMorrow and better chances of catching a wolf through process of elimination (though those chances are small this early on). And after all, better an ordo gets eaten on Night 3 than the last gifted (if she's good).

I keep wanting to assume Agan is evil and vote based on that assumption (for Kitanna, most likely), but that would be hasty. It could still be a risky wolf trick, although I could only imagine it if the wolves felt very safe from dreams themselves. Who would? Is anyone sleeping under that many reindeer...? It's a small village - I can't imagine any wolf feeling safe from the seer.

Why Boro? The only thing I noticed was how Lottie voted for him yesterDay on the basis of (as far as I can see) banter. Could his first post have looked like anything? If Agan's honest, the wolves aren't looking for the seer anymore anyway - perhaps they thought he was Nimrodel?
If Agan's lying, perhaps they thought Boro was the seer, or that his death would somehow make one of them look less suspicious... honestly, I don't think this is a very fruitful line of thought right now.

The deadline happens to be at the time I'm taking the wereduckling out to catch the school bus (tomorrow's her 6th birthday, actually) so I'll definitely have to vote early, probably in a few hours. I hope more people have spoken by then.

Well, it's bed time for me.

I'll likely be up about half an hour before the deadline, but I can't really guarantee I'll have time to read up on everything that's been going on, so it's time to vote for me.

Based on a really iffy reasoning for his Day 1 vote, and the fact that it appeared to be a safe vote for either a wolf-on-wolf OR just a throwaway vote so that no real suspicion would land on him, I nominate

++McCaber

for the guillotine. Elven guillotine that is.

I wish I had a little more to go on with... so European Ordos, I leave this mess for you to sort out!

It's everybody do the opposite of what Rikae says day, isn't it?

Oh well, I'm afraid I have to vote with this little to go on. That leaves me with

++Kitanna

for previously mentioned and admittedly flimsy reasons.


Don't do anything I wouldn't do, kiddos.

Looking back at Kit and Shasta, I've found little evidence pointing to either of them as wolves. Shasta has been very quiet, and what he has said has been mostly speculation about roles rather than suspicions about people, but nothing really stands out. Kit started off toDay expressing support for Agan, which (assuming Agan is a wolf, which assumption was the basis of my doubt about Kit in the first place) I don't think a wolf who knew full well that she'd be outed as a wolf sooner or later would have done. If I'm going to vote for one of them, it would be Shasta at this point, but I'm not completely comfortable with that.

I'll skim through again, look for anything else that might jump out at me more, but otherwise I'll have to vote pretty soon here.

Alright then, I'm off to bed.

Good luck, village!
