See, I'm the one naming some lynchees, he just echoes known things.

And he's flip-floppy:
Clearly you can't even decide the reason why you "dreamed" of Celuien...
Well, Celuien looked so white that I just had to check her. She would have made a terribly efficient wolf as no one really suspected her. A wolf might come up with the all powerful knowledge of those who are innoncents or not - we villagers, even gifteds - can't do it. We have no idea about the whole of the village, just from the part we have dreamed. So we are on the mercy of a good luck or hunches, the wolves know their trade...

I guess Lhuna will be a wolf. Lommy seems to know it... Just to gain believability she's ready to sacrifice her mate - whom she knows will not be available until later on the Day. So not even needing to face her eye for an eye.

And on the same time I'm quite proud of my daughter. You are really wicked! It's not certain which one of us is hanging on the poles this evening, but I hope your wolvish scheaming gets the result it deservers..

Great that you see your own cowardice. Don't have to see her eye for an eye indeed...

Seriously, if there's even one villagers who belives Nogrod over me, let's lynch me. Then I will be proven the seer and Nogrod has no way of swaying anyone.

And ask if Nogrod's ready to do that for the village... (Speaking of proposing himself to be lynched, o'course...)

Now I'm leaving Wolfgrod to say the last word for the RL night and go to sleep. I doubt he will come up with anything convincing. If he does, keep in mind you can always lynch me and we innocents still win. It's 3:27 AM here. Fortunately it's the summer holiday...

Well, glad to see my 'seer come forward' request wasn't viewed as suspicious .

Nogrod, sorry lad but the attempt while 'valiant' is laughable.

Perhaps we can make an exception to the double lynch rule?

Well you call for your own doom here. I see Lommy has made her way and made you believe her. Regrettably I'm your seer and you can then lynch Lommy tomorrow - and then Lhuna. We win in the end...

Okay then I believe you...*sarcasm abounding*...will the 'REAL' seer please step forward and set the record straight so we don't kill this good innocent man who is so deserving of life. My you seem awfully hairy today, even for a scandinavian

You just check my record. I've put it plain to see from Day1 forwards. You still need a third seer Morm? Sorry, we Scandinavians are sometimes hairy, but our hair is light and golden yellow, not the dark hue you others possess... :

The thing Lommy was right about was the time it is here right now and I will be getting to sleep also.

You will decide as you do. To this day you have killed Boromir, Saucie and Fea. Sorry to sound bitter, but you get what you order. It was looking good for a while last Day and the Night, but seemingly you are going to lynch another posible asset now. I have a game to mod and will be concentrating on it, so maybe its better I do have no tasks with you any more... 'tis only a game - and if you betray me, well then why on earth would I like to play with you - or help you? Remember if and when Lommy is a wolf she knows perfectly well who the wolves / innocents are and she will be easily dropping the names. Sorry I can't give you a wolf, but I have mismanaged my dreams... The wolves have no trouble with that.

The barbeque subject... To whom do you think you can supply your ketchup after you kill me Celuien?

PS. Yes I'm sorry and can't say I have been a worthy Seer. I have actually been so bad as to try and deny my position in the village. The roles get mixed up during the game. With a role one has to think too much - and as I have had no time to concentrate (Lommy looking over my shoulder all the time) on the questions pertaining the village, I have been of little help. Sorry about that...

Well, your choice.

Farewell people. Hope you have some better ideas before the Day closes.

Celuien: where will you be selling your ketschup now?

A lie again. Your hair is not golden yellow - it's light brown and far from golden. And my hair, for example, is even less golden yellow than yours - it's way darker than yours.

Don't even try that one. You yourself were strongly contributing to lynching Fea.

I did act differently. I was horrified of how edgy I was on Days 1 & 2. No wonder I was on nearly everyone's suspect list. I was wondering if I was doing terribly or terrificly...
I must admit I'm a bit baffled myself with the fact that I didn't dream of you... I can see two reasons:
1) I didn't want to dream of those who were under a serious threat of lynching, since their roles would be revealed anyway.
2) I had been so confident on your guilt, that I didn't want to learn for sure that you were an innocent... I guess that would have been too much for my pride.

Noggie, if you claim to be the seer and no one really believes you, why don't you volunteer to be lynched? Then we could lynch you and prove your "innocence"... Don't try to put up the argument that your "dreams" could be useful. You know that if you really were the seer, the village would lynch me and Lhuna next. They would lose nothing by killing you.

Of course you're not a gifted.

Oh, and what happened to that Seer claim of yours?

EDIT: Crossed with Morm, Durelin and an apparent edit by Wolfgrod. It seems that the Seer claim is back...

If Nogrod is indeed guilty, he had me fooled for a long time. I shall not pursue it any further. But as he was my prime Seer candidate the entire game... his claim just makes more sense to me. Sorry.

You can keep the ketchup, by the way.
Sorry - I missed the edit explanation request eariler. Not that it matters now, but it referred to this post:

Sort of a silly thing for a real Seer to do.

PS Ketchup is tasty.

As for morm's query: I thought you and Mith were the Seer and the Changeling - which is which I had no idea. Really, you are all confusing.

Oh yes! We feared tgwbs might be the Seer because he managed to mention all three of us furry fluffy wolves in one breath.

So who are the gifteds, aside from Caran and Nog - I mean Lommy, really?

Of course, though the end of the game with the village's fate hanging in the balance is an odd place for it to appear.

I can imagine. That keyboard sharing must have been interesting. Fortunately, none of my housemates shares my Downs obsession, though they do stalk me here. (Hello, J. )
