Good spotting Durelin and very reasonable timing! *aplodes*

And so sorry Boromir, you seem to be on the lynch-line nowadays...
(but you have been able to enjoy "villainship" too...)


So toDay we lynch Boromir... like this:

++ Boromir

During the Night Durelin will die and we have 5 innocents (of whom one is known) against one wolf toMorrow. So everyone will then know oneself and me. That leaves a choice of 1 from 4 to everyone. And only one will be knowingly distracting us.

We have chances, yes, but only two of them. If we get it wrong toMorrow we are reduced by two of which the other one is me.

So then the last Day would be 3 against 1. They will have to make it. Otherwise the lonely wolf champions.

~~~~~

I'm having a frenzied day (RL) today and will not be able to post much, but happily toDay is kind of a pause-day anyhow as we know now what to do. I'll promise to go through Boro's interactions toMorrow (it's a piece of work and I wouldn't like to do it hastily).

But still I think that we all could use this Day according to our resources, getting ready to face toMorrow. It would be especially nice if Durelin could leave her last marks to this village as sadly she will not be here toMorrow anymore.

PS. Farael is right in one thing. We might do well not taking to account what Boro says toDay.

If he gets majority votes before the deadline, can he be removed immediately and banned from posting in this thread?

(I'm getting the feeling he actually enjoys posting toDay enormously since he can banter and speak silly things as much as he wishes since his fate is sealed and he seems to love trying to confuse everyone too...)

Actually I quite enjoy reading Boro's posting toDay!

We just should ignore them when we try to find out who's the last wolf...

I confess being amused too, but I think they will nevertheless (at least subconsciously) affect my opinions, which shouldn't happen.

After a quick reread, my commentary about the unknowns
Valier - seems really sincere and innocent-valierish, but she has fooled me before, so I won't say anything about her
Farael - could be the last wolf. Sometimes sounds very sincere, sometimes not.
Volo - is a tough one to read. Honestly, what can you make of such a mess of unorganised thoughts that often contradict with each other? (no offense ) He accuses on quite flimsy grounds, but that does not necessarily point to wolvishness. (In his case, at least. ) His declaration of his innocence sounds quite sincere though.
CoD - really, if you reread it, his behaviour screams "wolf". Especially post 158 is extremely wolfy. Boro's behaviour towards him speaks for his wolvishness too; he seems to be "shielding" him all the time. boro knows he is a generally trusted and a reasonable-held ww-player, so he constantly tries to get the attention off CoD, but not too straightly. Read through his posts, it really shows very clearly. The only reason I'm not willing to stamp the wolf label on coD just yet is Naria's behaviour towrds him. First, she accuses him of cobbelrism (the first thin that comes to your mind that you would say of your fellow wolf?). Then, having not read a single post on the thread (or that's the impression I got) she pops in and votes CoD. Why, if he was her fellow wolf? What kind of wolf would vote her pal who had almost gotten lynched the day before without first checking the situation? Answer: a very bold and rare wolf...

So, "order of wolvishness" in my opinion
1. CoD
2. Farael and Volo (divided)
4. Valier

Aw, Boro's being such a good sport!

Perhaps I should have dreamt of CoD instead of Rikae, but I was fairly certain he wasn't a wolf...and still am. I am a little familiar with CoD's tactics, and his ancestor played in, as far as I can tell, the same (in my opinion very careless) way when he was the Ranger. Not that that necessarily means anything. I also know CoD can be a good liar.

Personally, I'm thinking Boro's going with reverse psychology: by blatantly saying "CoD is innocent," he's more than placing it in our heads "lynch CoD." He hasn't mentioned Farael yet, but I suppose trying to get anything from his behavior will be impossible.

For me, Valier and Farael come out on top. It's just not fair! I feel like there is so little to go on with the people remaining I believe to be wolves. So far this game, my gut feelings have been right (though my voting record certainly doesn't show it), so I'm tempted to rant about Valier and forget about the others. But I really don't know. I wish I had more time to go over the thread right now...I will have to later, though. I am unfortunately going to be gone until an hour, maybe two before the deadline! So I will try my best to leave with something intelligent...though I don't guaruntee anything. I will go through the thread from top to bottom.

Hopefully we'll actually hear from everyone today.

(And I hope I get to dream before I am killed, just so I can know whether or not we are doomed ahead of time...then I will have more time to get settled and "rest in peace." )

Durelin you are playing with fire right now... if there's any time Boromir may attempt a multiple bluff it is right now. He knows that in spite of ourselves, at least some of us will over-analyze his words... and it's just as likely that he'll try to make his partner look innocent (after all, he wouldn't be THAT obvious, right?) as it is that he'll make him or her look wolfish (after all, we wouldn't believe him, would we?) as it is that he'll just avoid to mention his or her name and have us running in circles.

For all I care right now, Boromir is a source of amusement, not of information. I strongly suggest that you ignore him as well.
