Okay, that makes me feel better about you, Kuru.

I'd like to say again, though, that there is a real possibility that the Herbalist is very short of supplies and will need to sacrifice some people. Thus, I am certainly not counting on being saved.

However, the main thing is that if I die I will be a known innocent toMorrow; if I live a 99% likely one. Either way, I hope the village will take a good hard look at the people who climbed on Lottie's far-fetched theory toDay, especially the ones bolstering it by muttering vaguely about how I'm "fishy" or "sketchy". (Kuru gets a bit of a pass for having actually had a concrete reason, though I think I've explained that adequately.)

Edit:x'd with Zil.

I am not really telling Lottie how to vote, Zil- it sounds as if she will go for the no-lynch option, which as I said might be best at this point. What I am doing is making my preference clear. See, the difference is that I have some rather definite and well-reasoned, non-opportunistic suspicions of you, which I have set out (I believe) clearly and logically. It is not just a case of "OMGUS".

I would probably go for a non-lynch at present, because while I think we've had a lot of friction this afterNoon which has brought a lot of interesting points to light, I don't think they have led to a generally agreed upon candidate. Unless matters change, I think last Night's Herbalist save has bought the village more time, and I think avoiding over hasty lynches really does need to be avoided in this game.

That being said, Zil has seemed...off balance all game. I don't necessarily know if that seems wolvish - if I recall correctly, he tends towards being overly smooth as a wolf, doesn't he? Off balance isn't something I'm used to seeing from him, and I'm not sure how to read it. I wouldn't lynch him toDay, but I would keep an eye on him in future.

Lommy has also struck me as a little bit more go-with-the-flow than I think I remember from her, but again, not enough for concrete suspicion at this point.

I'm inclined to trust Legate and Kuru, but I almost feel like they are too good to be true right now - active, helpful, making good points, and I agree with most of what they're saying? Gotta be wolves. Seriously, though, I don't suspect them even a little, and I find myself having to remind myself not to trust them too far.

Boro, Shasta, and Lalaith are all total toss ups at this point, which is concerning, since Lalaith at least has been posting. I'm wary about how under the radar she's flying, and I want to take a closer look at her later.

Nerwen looks better to me now - I think her early posts pinged my radar just because they were so overdramatic, which apparently is necessary, since not everyone was 100% clear on my reveal yesterDay, even though I thought it was very clear myself. I would definitely not lynch her.

tldr: I would consider Zil or Lalaith if I see some sort of conclusive evidence against them, but if nothing new comes up, I would probably not lynch anyone toDay to keep the village's numbers up and Gifteds safe.

That's good enough for me.

Time for me to put my money where my mouth is.

++Loslote for Representative on a platform of No-Lynch on DAY 2.

Okay, for the sake of clarity then

++Lottie for the rep.

And if I had to vote, I might again vote

++Zil for lynch - purely theoretically;

because as it stands, I am still inclined that we should not have a lynch toDay. So it is with this that I am giving my Rep vote to Lottie.

Let me just say this one thing: if the team of Wolves is something like Kuru, Nerwen and Lottie, they are playing the village brilliantly and we are probably all dead (but if that were the case, it would be deserved to be sure).

I don't have much to add currently. Kuru is acting a little strange.

++Zil

...yeah, I'm actually glad I don't have to stand behind this vote like in a normal game. I mean, he *is* fishy, but hardly in a way that would merit voting him twice in a row. Then again, no one else seems as fishy to me, so there we go.

I would still be in favour of a lynch toDay. Both because I like lynching people (sorry ) and just sitting around doesn't make for a very meaningful game for anyone who doesn't have a special role. Also, it does stir up the dicussion and give us more evidence.

I mean, it doesn't, though. Roles are not revealed upon death, so don't learn anything. In this game, killing people doesn't give you anything, it just makes them dead. So unless we have a very good reason to suspect someone is a wolf, a lynch is just an unnecessary risk.

The consensus seems to be ++no lynch today. If I'm reading the vibe totally wrong, now is the time to let me know!

Look, if this were a normal game I'd actually say Lommy seems the more lupine of the two- that is, the one who is acting more like a cautious, calculating wolf, whereas Zil's behaviour would be quite foolhardy. But it's not a normal game, and I'd sat most of us have yet to get our heads around the changed dynamic, and what it might do to playing styles. So I'm not sure what to think yet.

But anyway, yes ++no lynch seems to be the general idea.

As on the day before, indecision ran rampant around the Ward.

Lommy spoke up, urging the others to action. "It's time to put this to a vote, don't you think?"

"This is a democracy!" agreed Lottie.

Sally's head popped out from a nearby window. "I'm sorry, what country do you think I live in?"

Despite the delicious sarcasm, Lottie's cheeriness seemed infectious, and in no time, she had been decided as the gate visitor for the day.

"Hey," Lottie said suddenly. "Where's McCaber?"

Everyone looked around, but McCaber was nowhere to be found. Night was coming, and it was time for all to turn in. After wishing Lottie luck and wisdom, the rest of the Ward turned in for the night, leaving Lottie to approach the guards and give a report.

A light shone weakly from the windows of one of the houses. Lottie hesitantly crept up to the sill and looked in. "McCaber?" she whispered, but there was no response, though she could clearly see the book he had been reading sitting on the table. She knocked on the door and waited for several moments, but still she received no answer. After a time, she silently walked away, resolving to bring up his absence to the guards.

McCaber was never seen again.
