NO!! One and a hundred times no!!! The Ranger is our lone way of learning about "known" innocents. With only one pair of baddies left, if the ranger protects someone successfully we'll know that someone is innocent. How much would it improve the odds right now (or tomorrow for that matter) if the ranger came out? I say, unless s/he is risking being lynched, s/he should stay under wraps as much as possible.

Of course, it's ultimately to their discretion to determine when it's no longer possible, but given that as soon as the ranger speaks up s/he'll most likely be eaten....

But if the Ranger doesn't protect an innocent? I'm saying, if it gets down to the last limb...the Ranger can be a known innocent. It is not likely that the werecreature or lover will claim to be the Ranger.

Edit: And wait...do we get to find out who the werecreature tried to kill when the Ranger successfully protects them? I didn't think we did.

Are you sure? All they need to do is stay alive through tomorrow to win.

Of course I'm not sure. I just said it was 'likely.' As you say, they only have to stay alive till tomorrow...and if they have to pull out a Ranger bluff to do that, then they're feeling less confident than I would expect them to. They're not exactly in a bad situation right now, it seems, and if we don't get them today...I think they'll be feeling pretty good tomorrow. Though, you're right - one of them claiming to be the Ranger might be a good way to cause a great deal (more) confusion. That is, if the Ranger survives till tomorrow, anyway.

I guess I'll go ahead and cast my vote:

I don't like this silence.

The more I read over Kath and Valier's posts, the more I find it possible that they are lovers, or at least that one of them is. Though with Rikae's vote, I find her and Kath being lovers a possibility, as well (both hashing up "old" suspicions...and yes, they are still valid suspicions, but they also could be interpreted as simply being 'safe' because they have been the continual suspicion...and of course neither will consider the possibility of a female-female lover pair).

Kath is really bothering me... Her votes have been so...easy, or, again, 'safe.' They haven't succeeded in lynching anyone, but they've been for people who have gotten a lot of attention: namely, Mac and Farael, our two final male subjects.

My vote will be for Kath, Valier, or Rikae...starting with most likely and moving toward less likely. But I will wait as close to the deadline as I can, particularly since I do not want to vote without knowing what the likely repercussions of my vote will be (if any), and right now...there's just no way of knowing. I hope everyone finds the time to vote, or likely we're dead meat...

*wakes up*

Whew, I'm still alive! And thank goodness this isn't a very talkative village, or it will be very hard for me to catch up.

My preliminary observation is that this open argument between Farael and Rikae might be not what it seems. But then again, Farael also argues with Valier. I don't know, Farael, but you boldness is making me too worried. It's too rash a behaviour for an innocent, but the more I look at it the more I'm convinced that that's exactly what you want us to think.

But I'll be off to examine actual evidences and not rely on just gut feelings.

Rikae · 11-02-2006, 05:40 PM

Farael: Good point. If that's the case, though, the Ranger will have to reveal himheritself to share that information, and we don't have much time left. If we don't lynch one of the baddies, we'll go into tonight with four innocents and two baddies, and tomorrow we will have only three innocents left. If we lynch an ordo tomorrow as well, we'll lose the game. Therefore, if we don't win today, we need all the info we can get tomorrow. Knowing one of the three innocents will mean we'll have a 50/50 chance of lynching a werecreature/lover.

EDIT: Xed with Durelin
