There had been a fair bit of suspicion against Loslote and it was certainly building after Rikae's death. Given that, we might well be tempted to just lynch her now as it would seem as if we have little to lose thereby.

But if Nerwen is up to some scheme then we need to think about how such a tactic could benefit her and her pack.

*ponders*
Loslote her self said that false reveals were unlikely but would buy the wolves time. Would it buy enough already?

Nerwen I don't disbelieve you it was just that I had begun to assume. Maybe the mystery role is a variant on the medium thing Kuru postulated and then didn't formally do... that it isn't a wandering role but the person has a choice of options from a skill set each cycle, to kill, to pass on information...

So....that happened.

I'm certainly inclined to trust the word of Mod (and Nerwen) on this.

Off to obtain food. Back a while later with some thoughts on Day 2.

Nerwen voted Mac yesterday. Related?

Maybe Nerwen has the special role, and it involves receiving some sort of message from the other side as well as her vote acting as a sort of curse.

Why now, though? Something to do with the Seer recently joining the Dead?

Hmmm....again with the good points Eomer.
In fact Nerwen didn't vote at all on Day 1. I did wonder why....

Because she's Nerwen?

(Seriously, she very rarely votes on Day 1. It's a thing.)

Also does anyone have any thoughts on the voting schema for guiding the Dead vote that I posted? Especially if it ends up being a landslide vote today, the Dead aren't going to be influencing it anyway, so it would be good to get some information from their vote if possible. Seems like we should figure it out sort of soon, too, before they start voting en masse.

I'm wondering where Kath is, honestly. I think she'd make some sort of effort to be here, even if it's just long enough to say she's busy. Total silence is worrisome.

The plot thickens! I hadn't thought of that.

Nerwen has already voted for Loslote. We could test the theory by lynching someone else today? Or is that stupid?

I was already inclined to vote for Lottie (in the absence of a lover scheme anyway) and this sort of seals the deal. I was already inclined to trust Nerwen, and the two people she named topped my suspect list anyway.

Don't have time for more now, sorry! And I will be voting earlier toDay, have plans for later.

I'm not sure it's the best time to do that. It would give us some information but only to the nature of her power, which we suspect anyway. I still wonder if the power rotates people, ordos presumably, or if it changes what the power is each day. However with the Nerwen, no vote day 1 and Mac's death it's likely that she has a super vote or something like that.

As far as Lottie's implication of Firefoot, it's interesting and shouldn't be wholly discounted, despite my feelings that Firefoot has been mostly innocent looking. I suspect there is a fair amount of truth in what she said. We need to decipher what that truth is. I do think Lottie is genuinely upset at the other pack and would be happy to throw them under if possibly, hence my thought that Firefoot may be worth watching now.

There's something that doesn't quite fit in my theory, though, which is rather annoying.

If indeed Rikae was the Seer, and, upon the Seer's death the last two dreams were sent to Unknown-Power-Nerwen, then wolf-Mac doesn't suit. Rikae specifically lumped Mac in with Agan and Morm as innocent during Day 2 - she certainly didn't dream about Loslote and Mac on the same night.

It might then be more likely that Legate was the Seer.

Or this could all just be way off, of course..
