No, no, you're not being suspicious enough - the IC will post, and in the ten minutes between that and Nog showing up to confirm, nine people will vote for them.

Now now, I'm all for good fun, but I really wouldn't like someone of the Living to actually get a heart attack...

As for otherwise, I am starting to think that it might be one option to vote Zil. But we may want to give them something to chew on for toMorrow, in which case it could be somebody else if Zil looked like the village's probably suspect toDay anyways.

I also agree with Kit about both Steve (his last posts have also been suspicious and I'm kinda wondering if he's setting up for himself the future to bus Zil and then have innocents among his other suspects) and Lhuna.

Can someone figure out Lottie?

Someone among the living mentioned that the Seer is up to four dreams now. When I've been reading old dreams, the Seer reveals are some of the most exciting bits - are they going to drop two or three wolves at once? Have they been working to protect a whole bunch of innocents? Have all their targets been lynched already, leaving them feeling useless? Or have they been the driving force behind multiple successful wolf lynches?

In this game, we have the added thrill that if they don't manage to get all their knowledge out in the open, the village will be stuck trying to mind-read the QT to figure out what the Seer has told them... which I would hate to be doing, but will be brilliant fun to watch.

I feel like Zil is hard at work to get a Lommy bandwagon going. Which if Mac (he did suggest it, right? I'm at work and can't scroll through) guessed correctly and Boro is the seer and dreamt an innocent Lommy, then that makes Zil look very bad indeed.
He's been looking fishy for a while.

Been thinking the same. And I'm up for giving our vote to Zil today.

Also I see Boro has been talking about Lhuna now, which makes me think we need not give our vote to her today, bc if he is really the Seer, and if he is around, he may continue going for her also next Day, and if he dies, people would likely follow on it (plus we could put the message across from here).

Opinions? Others? Sally?

I also support this plan.


I'd currently prefer Steve over Dun, but I see the logic behind a Dun vote, so let me read through the GT again and I'll reconsider.

We might be able to start a bandwaggon since our vote is always one of the first. So that's nice.

My one worry is if we explicitly follow Boro's instruction, it paints a target for the wolves right on his face.

A night-killed seer still gets their dream, right? Modgod?

I mean, it only indicates that we trust Boro, and we don't know anything. Nor does he, if you're right - Lhuna could be innocent. But yeah, it draws attention to the interaction. We could go for another of his suspects.

I'm not so convinced Boro is the seer, but I'll go with the consensus for now.

I'd be okay with a Dun vote. It would certainly clear up more things in the living thread, and it's not like I'm convinced of his innocence. That said, if a "better" candidate is brought up, say Lottie or Steve for instance, I wouldn't complain.

The thing that it paints a target on his face is what I thought and why I suggested Zil instead. See above. If he's still alive, he may continue to push Lhuna toMorrow. If he isn't, people may deduce as much from his posts and go after her too. And in either of the cases we can vote her toMorrow.

If Mac suspected Boro as Seer based on nothing, but a solid read-through, then methinks the wolves would be catching on by now too?

I was thinking it over and came to a few theories about Boro.
1) BoroSeer dreamt an innocent Lommy, dreamt a guilty Lhuna. He's playing everything pretty close to the vest to avoid detection.
2) He's a wolf and I'd say Lommy might be one too. I say that because of Huin's persistent suspicion of her, but then he'd vote elsewhere. This is a very bold move for wolves, but if two wolves are lynched Boro and Huin and one suspected Lommy and the other defended her, then she might be perceived innocentish in the aftermath.
3) He's a perceptive innocent who is leaving fake clues to draw wolves to him as the seer. In which case, Lommy is likely innocent.

Personally, I find Zil to be the most suspicious, followed by Eonwe as a submarine wolf, with Lhuna as a slightly distanced third.

So, going through the whole game thread to analyze Steve, Lhuna & Zil, came upon this little exchange between Boro and our very own G55 that I'd forgotten about:

I might need such a test. Whether we're aware, or in the unconscious, we all remain in-character. Agreed? And what do you glean from my in-character? Am I aware I'm doing it or is it in the unconscious? Leave that thought there for a moment.
So, um, there's that.

And in response to Boro talking about waiting for someone to cough:

(Completely unrelated, but for some reason I forgot how to spell "throat" and ended up with something like "throuaght". Do I need to be tested for viral encephalopathy too? )
That too.
