You admit to being amused...so why would you want that? Plus I'm giving out such a great amount of information.

(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...)
Quite true.

Though, this may be one of my last posts today...it shall surely be one you are going to want to look into.

Don't listen to Farael I mean after all I am now proven innocent (from my perspective)...you all know my identity...but you don't know Farael's. So, would this not make me more trusting?

If I was an innocent I would really be concerned about Farael and Lommy over there...Aye the one's that are acting all good and just in getting rid of me, they're the one's to look at.

Valier would scare me even more...she's Miss silent assassin wolf over there.

When Volo appears he'll likely come on here, denounce my name and vote for me...mildly supsicious wolf behaviour.

I've already talked about CoD

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.~Durelin
When do I ever play mind games Durelin? Or at least not intentionally. It's your job to figure out who it is, but I can't be leaving any more possible clues. I mean I can't just tell you it's Volierommy....oops. I bet your my partner right now is just thinking 'I wish he'd just shut up' because I can't be giving any more clues than I am now.

Jenny when you write up today's narration, could you please have me stick an apple on Boromir's mouth to make him silent already?

How does being proven a wolf make you more reliable than an unknown? I should stop interacting with you or else I'll get my butt lynched, but you are just too amusing.

Can anyone explain Volo's last post? S/he (is Volo a he or a she?) seems to be in a hurry, but I just can't make sense of what s/he just said.

In spite of my (ongoing) suspicions for CoD I have to admit he is an unlikely wolf... furthermore, Loomy seems innocent, even if a little all over the place. I know that I'm an ordo but you don't, yet for me this means that the options for the remaining wolf are Valier and Volo. I don't quite see what so many people find suspicious about Valier if anything I have nothing to go on in favour of or against her. That on itself is "something" but I find Volo much more disturbing. The few posts s/he has made are highly confusing, which could be because of his/her busy RL, or be a wolfish tactic.

I think we should start analyzing Tomorrow. Boromir is as good as dead, and sadly so is our Seer Durelin. If Boromir does not get all votes today I'll be surprised, and if Durelin survives the night... well, I'll be mightly pleased.

Which reminds me
++Boromir

Look mommy... I managed to get a vote in before the deadline!

What shall we do tomorrow? the village is going to look like this:
Known Ordo
Nogrod
Unknowns
Valier
Volo
CoD
Loomy
Myself

The day after, odds are the village will be
Unknowns-1
3 ordos, 1 wolf
Unless we lynch the wolf tomorrow.

That means that the day after will be the last day (one lynch, one kill at night and we get 1 wolf and 1 villager, wolf wins).

I don't know what the main suspects for Tomorrow's lynching should be, but if anyone (Nogrod/Durelin if possible, as I said before) has the time to go through Boromir's posts, we might be able to find something out. Thanks to Durelin odds are in our favour... specially with regards to Boromir who, in spite of my best efforts, would have never been lynched.

I've already decided how Boro dies, so all suggestions and requests shall be ignored. Besides, I don't want him to shut up unless he wishes. This is deliciously entertaining.

I was just joking around m'lady... I would dare not tell you what to do in your village.

Why is everyone so silent? I have to go to clas soon and I'll be busy for most of the day after that.

Well, apparently Naria's death hasn't gotten the heat off my poor self. And it seems that I'm at the top of everyone's lists as being Boromir's accomplice.

So, if you all want to lynch me after Boromir, go ahead. I'm not going to put up anymore defenses. It simply isn't necessary for me to do so.

And it's not like anyone is going to believe me...

Edit: And Durelin, since when am I a good liar?

Sorry about my lateness, My internet has been down due to work in my area and I may or may not be able to get on again today. First off, way to go Durelin!!! I really wish you would have dreamt of me last night so my name could be cleared and I can get down to wolf hunting today and not have to defend myself. I totally understand that there are only five people left that are unknown. I know I am one of them, but I think some of the others are way more suspicious than I am or have been. CoD's behavior today makes me still think that he could indeed be the last wolf. Why all of a sudden say I am a tempting choice for a vote? once again proving my point that you want to kill people who vote or suspect you.Then you completely ignore that for the rest of the day and proceed to say "Go ahead, kill me, I won't defend myself any longer." Even if he is an Ordo his behavior and actions have not helped us innocents at all. All he wants to do is vote for people who vote for him. And why has he been on the top of everyones suspect list, and almost lynched, but now he gets away? If he is indeed the last wolf, he will get off scott free because everyone thinks his behavior is too outlandish for a wolf.

Volo is a hard one to read, He was gone for a couple days and has not contributed much, but confusing posts, so he is still high on my wolf list.

Farael brings up the rear for me....He does seem helpful, but his interaction with Boromir is fishy. It almost seems like you actually, truly want him to shutup....Getting a little nervous are we?

Also I wanted to bring up Lommy. I always want to agree with her points and sometimes that is my downfall. So yesterday, I thought to myself after rereading that lommy could be the Seer. She seemed so sure about Naria that after Naria was reveiled to be a wolf, her votes and posts seem almost to good. Only a wolf would know for sures that Naria was a wolf. Not that my suspicion of her is high today, but still, I thought that warrented a look.

Now Boromir.....Holy cow....this is the most talk from a know wolf ever. Nice try, but nothing you say holds true, I will not heed anything you have to say. Bye bye wolfie.

It's no secret now Farael, you want me to shut up...afraid I might spill something, eh, buddy?

Durelin is the smart one here...it's just like poker, you want your opponent to talk to give up the strength of his hand. You want to find out my cohort, the best way is to get me to talk. It's clear Durelin knows this importance...I don't know if anyone else does though.

I'll help you out more...what I've said today is 1000 times more valuable than anything I've said in the prior days combined...yep...it's true.

I'm going to vote for:

++Thinlomien

Anyone want to end this thing by tomorrow? You can retract your votes, vote for Thinlomien (whom is my crime cohort - I promise) and then lynch me tomorrow since you all know I'm a wolf.

If no one wants to follow me in lynching Thinlomien, I'll be up for Volo, he seems anxious to get out of here...he's my partner - I promise.

I'll just jump over the stuff that has been said about me, because I'd just make things even more confusing. But why am I not suspicous enough? I didn't say a single thing about Naria during the whole game...

But back to trying talking sense. Farael seems really wolf, now that Naria is proven evil. Or then the wolves are really lucky. Farael was so much against CoD that I at least felt that CoD would be lynched, he then wasn't and now I can't call him wolf, it was either him or Naria.

Have to run away... ->

EDIT: xd with Boro... :/

Explaining again:

Farael tried turn attention away from the wolf-Naria by writing such an analysis about CoD, who was a rather suspicious fellow just like Naria. In other words, Farael tried to save Naria, or would that have any sense in it? I can't imagine CoD being a wolf after this.

I didn't try to save Naria I tried to kill CoD... and he might do his own case a favour by not saying that he won't defend himself any longer, but rather doing some discussion himself.

That was bound to happen... but talking about her, now that she has actually said something, she doesn't look so bad to me.

Right now my main suspects are Volo and CoD. I suspect CoD more in a "something don't feel right" way, but rationally Volo is more likely to be a wolf.

Although, let me propose one theory here.

What if Rune had nailed TWO wolves? killing him would have condemned Naria yes, but it would also make CoD look almost certainly innocent.

I don't know, I still don't buy into CoD's innocence, but...

Well, my hunches have been absolutely horrible so far in this game. Okay, I suspected Naria quite a lot but still wasn't able to carry it through...

Anyhow, I'm not suspecting CoD the most. Quite on the contrary.

Even though Valier's point about Lommy is worth looking at toMorrow, I'm still relatively at ease with her.

Valier herself would have been much higher in my list of suspicions unless her posting just lately.

Farael I'm pretty confused about. He's feels a bit too reckless to be a wolf but at least to my eye looks more suspicious than the aforementioned.

Volo I just can't get. No read-out whatsoever. That makes me worry about him.

These are only my preliminary hunches. Nothing solid in any way. But we'll all have time tomorrow (RL) and toMorrow (in-game) to sort these out.

Thanks Durelin, a great game from you! Sad you can't join the nerve-wrecking action of toMorrow!

It's been so fun today...don't sound so gloomy. Special thanks to Miss Jenny who has allowed all this enjoyment.

Before I never speak to thoughst again (until we meet some other time) Whatever I've said about CoD is 100% lies.

Everything else today though is approximately 73% truthful (even that's correct), including the most important thing...the third wolf.

Good luck Volo.

Glad I could be of some service...bye.

You have all seen that Boro takes points from the posts others have just written and tries to go with them. So was this a last minute trial to confuse us in line with the other stuff he has made or did he intentionally wish me to see this last moment edit to free Volo from suspicion and thence trying to save the fellow?

As this example shows, let's not discuss Boro's posts after Durelin's revealment. They are made to confuse... and also took me in for a while.

So don't, then. I've spent enough time trying to sway this jury, only to be ignored. I will not waste further time attempting to persuade you I am not wolf. And I know you won't be truly satisfied until I'm lynched or killed by wolves. Only then will it prove what I am.

You have two options: Take me at my word, and go on trying to find the last wolf, or lynch me and waste more time. The latter, of course, will spell your own doom.
