As for the final wolf, I'm leaning toward McC at the moment, but we need to look very carefully at Mith & Kath as well.

I suppose there's also the possibility that Eomer was the last member of the other pack and the game only continues because Boro is a werebear...

I also had a Downer dream last night - I dreamed that Shasta was moving to Europe and that Mac and Rikae (who were living in Germany) were going to put him up while he found his feet. Everyone on the Downs was very excited about it.

What morm said about the unknowns

DAY 2
  • half-defends Mith
  • suspects Kath ("Too little posting for my tastes and a long history")

DAY 3
  • says McCaber (along with Nilp, Boro and Eomer) looks the worst among my voters
  • asks for thoughts on Kath, thinking she'll probably be modfired but could also be lynched as a last resort if no clear suspects appear
  • getting mixed vibes from Mith
  • McC (a bit gruff but not alarming), Mith (continue to watch her) and Kath (what can you say?) all in the unsure category on his list

DAY 4
  • Mith the number #4 suspect on his list
  • notes that Kath has been silent today
  • in answer to Mith, explains he put pressure on her to get a better read

DAY 5
  • disagrees with McC about his (correct) list of Nerwen's dreams
  • his first Dead voting plan suggests empowering McC if Lalaith is a wolf and (himself,) Mith or Kath if we don't know her role
  • explains to Mith again why he's suspecting her
  • his second Dead voting plan suggests empowering McC if morm is a wolf, while Mith and Kath cross-empower each other
  • suggests looking at those who have delayed with the Dead voting plan, Kath and Mith come to mind
  • decides to vote for Kath
I may have the days a little muddled up but that shouldn't matter.

I wish! Except in this game. In this game, GMT-4 is the way to go.

The little 'birthday girl' ( as we share the same one) was also in the dream but I remember thinking 'oh I can't dream her as I can't remember how old she is'...which was weird....

Also, I dreamed Nerwen last night and she isn't a Wolf. Seriously, I had a Downer dream last night!

The creative non-fiction department at the university was having some sort of conference/workshop thing and folks were submitting pieces to try and win various cash prizes. I had to rate the papers in order to weed out the bottom half before I sent them on to the department head, the final judge. After a couple of so-so efforts, I grabbed the next paper and was shocked to find the name at the top was "Nerwen".

I wondered what the chances were of there being another Nerwen, but conveniently there was a parenthetical beneath her name that stated, "The Downer from Down Under". And then it all made sense. I remembered on the thread she had mentioned spotty internet going over the mountains- she was obviously talking about the mountains in Colorado on her way toward Nebraska. (Apparently in my dream world there is a road leading straight from Australia to the Western US, ha ha.)

I spent a bit of time wondering if I should excuse myself from the panel on account of knowing Nerwen, because even without reading it I planned to give it the highest mark. I looked around the room trying to find Nerwen (the submissions were made in person and they awaited the results), but I couldn't see her anywhere. Then I realized I didn't know what she looked like because I wasn't linked to her on Facebook. But even as that thought occurred to me another thought overrode it, "It's Nerwen, from the Downs. Of course you'll recognize her when you see her. Downers can always pick one another out of a crowd. We can sense each other."

And then I woke up, nodding my head to that truth.

And amazing dream, Phantom. I haven't had 'Downers-related dreams in a while, maybe I should become a Seer in order to get them.
