But then there is the question, why didn't she protect her last night?

I did not protect Spawn last night because I couldn't. By Farael's rules, I am not allowed to protect a player more than one night in a row.

This was not a Wolfish plot. I am really the ranger. Why would I draw suspicion to myself by placing Spawn and Spawn only alongside me on my "innocent" list?

I am by no means clever enough to pull off a gifted impersonation. Hey, I can't even manage being a gifted without opening my big mouth and letting the secret fall out.

Wait...! I just though of something! Could it be possible that Zali is in fact *not* the Ranger but the Shaman? Think about it, she came out as ranger to keep her shamaness self hidden. And she probably thought it may work to confuse the orcs.

Now why would I do a thing like that? Coming out as any kind of a gifted is like tattooing "ORC BAIT" across your forehead in huge orange letters. Shaman? Ranger? both are a danger to the orcs. The Shaman is, admittedly, a greater danger. As ranger, all I can do is get in the way. However, any gifted impersonation is very risky and usually backfires.

Celuien, I think I'm probably next on the Orcs' kill list, rather than you... I am a self-admitted ranger, and only someone else suggested that you were the shaman. The village knows something definite about my role in the game. They have no such fodder on you. I'm guessing Spawn died as the result of my foolishness yesterday in an attempt to provide the rest of you with at least a known innocent come morning.

So my apologies, Spawn. I'm sorry I got you killed. I was honestly expecting to die instead...

Actually, I didn't think it would lend my dream anything. By that time, Jenny was already pretty much lynched, thanks to help from the handful of villagers who had not yet voted. I was frustrated at not having been able to be a bit more subtle about my dream and frustrated that I would not be able to save myself if it should come to that. I was annoyed because I saw the dream as an end of the road, as far as my ranger skillz went. I was sick and not thinking the clearest. And so my sense of melodrama took the spotlight. Hence the comment about the pain of irony.

But even if I agree with you about the probability of you being the next on the list of the orcs, please think carefully, who to cover the next night. You'll have all the chances to become a double hero - one we will remember for a long time!

No worries, Nogrod. My brain is (slowly) ticking.

And as for my thoughts on who is innocent, Roa...I'm keeping my big mouth shut this time. *breaks out the duct tape*

[Roa_Aoife]

35 minutes to the deadline and only three people have voted. Where is everyone?

I'm getting my vote in now. Kitanna has been mentioned over and over by people, but never really manages to get a lot of suspicion. She's one of our quietest villagers, she doesn't seem to be following her usual pattern, she was specifically not mentioned by Jenny. The little things are really starting to add up on her, so

++ Kitanna

I don't think I was wrong yesterday; I don't think I'm wrong now.

35 minutes to the deadline and only three people have voted. Where is everyone?

The voting is extended an hour toDay to compensate for the late start.

[Nogrod]

NO ROA!

I tried to say this once before!

1½ hours left now!

Normally 11pm GMT, today 12, check Farael's beginning post for today!

Oh no! I missed that completely! Oh well, it doesn't matter much, since I'm holding to my suspicion of Kitanna. Unless something of great significance happens in the next 45 minutes (because that's when I have to go anyways), I doubt I'll change my opinion.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I am very short on time (though I do understand that there is an extension). But I'm going out with my family now, and don't know when I'll be back. So I have to vote now.

About the only believeable thing I could take from Jenny's posts is that the orcs are "sneaky sneaky"...The rest was obviously meant as a confusion. I am not nearly as suspicious of Naria as I am of others, though I agree that at least one of the people Jenny named is an Orc.

Looking back for behavior that could be sneaky, like several other people, my mind floated to Kitanna. Like Jenny, she plays well, and appears both helpful and clever.

I think there's such a thing as too helpful and too smart for your own good, though...and hers may be that case. After seeing the reasonable, ordinary-seeming Jenny become an orc, I'd rather err on the side of caution than allow an orc to sneak off.

So I am going to vote for

++Kitanna

today.

Here's hoping all turns out well.

Cheers!

[Grendelien]

Don't we have 1 hour and 10 minutes left?

[Grendelien]

Sorry, I didn't refresh the page quickly enough!

[Roa_Aoife]

Well, Gren, if you're here, have anything to add?

[Kitanna]

Short on time, I don't really have much to add from what I said earlier.
I see I've gathered plenty of suspicions. I know I'm innocent, but I also know no one is going to believe that until I hang from the noose or I'm mauled in my sleep.

I have suspicions of Findëasëa and Nogrod mostly. Of course seeing as very little time is left and to put in a vote for either of them would seem like a safe/ waste of a vote I'll help the village with its doubts.

Be careful what you say, Zali, if you really are the ranger. The orcs may figure out who you're going to protect and kill someone else. Please avoid statements like this, you'll only hinder the village.
