I'll eat something and see if that shakes off the lethargy I'm feeling. If not, I'd probably have to vote early.

(Legate, sorry, but so far, you're it.)

So your plan was literally just to avoid the lynch?

From the rules so I can get a handle on this:
Beast Hunter (1)- The BH sets a booby trap near 1 person's location each night in hopes that the trap will catch and kill a werewolf. The BH may put the trap near themself, but can not set it near themself or the same person 2 nights in a row. If victim of the NW's haunting, the BH receives a PM stating they were frozen by a horrible nightmare and could not set their booby trap that night.

Ok, so revealing before there is a NW is sensible, but revealing at all surely isn't? I can't see that Nilp was that close to being lynched toDay to then basically end up as a non-killable player. Because surely now the wolves won't go for him and so we have a useless Hunter. It's an annoyingly perfect hiding place for a wolf, too.

My instinct is always to believe Gifted reveals because what-if but I don't like it.

Oh no I misread it! The trap can be set in front of other people, too! Well ok then assuming Nilp is telling the truth, which I'm now much happier about, this all makes a lot more sense and will be a marvellously dangerous game of Beast Hunter roulette for the wolves.

Just as I went to pass the time by laying down with a book to read...power kicked back on.

I suppose the world is telling me this is where I need to be and read. So here’s to another eventful final 2 hours.

[Kath]

Form, because I said yesterDay that I'd look at him when I had time.

About Lottie - notes an absence that wasn't actually there. His spreadsheet failing him here. Could be a wolf who thought he noticed that at Night using it in the Day.

If I had the money to wager, I'd lay it all on the proposition that there was a wolf among those who voted to lynch Huin.

So the message here is: Voting for me made more sense than voting for Hui even though I'm innocent and I didn't know his role at the time. But therefore a wolf voted to lynch Hui. I'm not following this ...

Ah and there's the quote that I missed yesterDay and then Shasta pointed out and which I definitely don't like. He says this about both Shasta and Nog.

If I'm assuming his innocence, then Form thought Nog or Shasta was the Hunter, and therefore pointing them out to the wolves wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. If I'm assuming Form's guilt, this is not a good quote.

I'm intrigued as to why I got the vote when he'd earlier said Pitch was his top suspect.

Well, all in all, I can't say I'm finding Form very innocent looking at this point.
