Seer outta nowhere with a wolf dream would help an awful lot, though. And the BH can trap their house if they come out now, which means we either keep the Seer another Night or we get a second wolf out of the deal. That's not bad for a Seer.

Oh, it would be super useful, and possibly the best thing for the village. I'm just tired and absolutely can't search Rikae's posts to see if it's true.

I really don't like this.

What don't you like about it? I thought it made sense - if they lynch the NW toDay, the NW only knows the BH, so that's the Gifted they could block, and the (still hidden) Ranger can still protect the BH, so it wouldn't be a problem for the Gifteds. How did you read it?

I mean either that, or then he's just being oddly self-centered. Why waste Ranger's protection on him aka. why to come forwards in the first place as there was no real danger???

Actually: he tries to draw the Ranger off from any innocent person (not just gifteds) so that there will be a 100% kill the next Night while the Ranger stands unemplyed at Nilp's door.

I still find Kath's insistence on focusing on Form instead of any of the more recent suspicious people HIGHLY suspicious.

As for Nilp, I get the vibe that he's either trying to create chaos - bluffing and double bluffing the wolves to try to keep them from killing their top choices - or he's just overwhelmed and not thinking the role through all the way. I don't get a wolfy vibe, and I absolutely could be wrong about that, but for now I trust his reveal.

I guess Nilp was quite a young man back in the days we played more, but I presume he's grown up in the last ten years or so. A 14-year old might think that it is of the utmost importance to all, that his own (least important) gifted-role stays alive in a situation where the village might fall in one or two Days.

Then again if he's a) the Cobbler, or b) the NW willing to change Threads to empower himself, then the quote would make perfect sense.
