They probably think they will lynch the seer toDay, kill the ranger toNight, and only lose one of the possibly 3 remaining wolves and a cobbler for their troubles. That's what.

Look, I'm going to be away from the keyboard for some time now (I'm preparing for a trip to Germany - yes, really, make of that what you will...), but I would just like to add one more thought:
What we have here is my word and Mac's vs. Farael & Boro's. It seems to me as though WW has become too easily manipulated by the first person to boldly jump out with a "gifted-revelation" - you don't have to just take any of our words for it. Go back and look over what's happened in this game, and make up your minds based on the evidence. If you still believe Farael and Boro, well, I've failed you and I'm sorry. At the very least, I can take comfort in the fact that I got Boro to reveal his evil intent.

It's now lunch time and I've had a bit of time to look over a few things and found something rather interesting.

As I've said, I've been fairly uncertain but leaning towards trusting Farael until I reread his posts from today and early on this stuck out to me and lends credence to my thought that he is at least a cobbler, but since, as Boro points out, we do not know for certain there is one he could easily be a wolf. My guess is they got the cursed two nights ago and got a bit jumpy about loosing two others. They probably have no idea who the seer is so Farael stepped forward to sacrifice himself in hopes of luring out the seer and ranger. Sadly it has worked in the case of the ranger although who is the real ranger is beyond me. But I'm inclined to trust Boro in this. But in the aforementioned quote it seems as though Farael is trying very subtely to get the ranger and seer to reveal themselves. He, of course, can't mention the seer because he has claimed to be one himself.

I think this is a risky move but my thought is that these wolves are bold enough to risk it.

This is something from Eomer that caught my attention. Why is he comfortable. I'm uncomfortable as all get out right now and confused as heck. It always strikes me the wrong way when somebody so overtly pushes their innocence. I don't want to do anything about it today as we've got bigger fish to fry but I wanted to make mention of it so as to not lose sight of it in the future.

Calm down, Mormegil. The game won't be over if we make a mistake today. If we make a mistake we have ample time to sort it out, and we will gain much truth from it. If we get the decision right first time, then even better.

Overtly pushing my innocence? I hardly think so. I'm just appealing for a bit of composure. It's not armageddon yet.

Well the thing that seems to make most sense to me is this:

++MAC

He isn't Gifted so although we lose an excellent player we don't lose Seer or Ranger. His death helps us understand the role of Farael, and what I don't want under any circumstances is to lose a possible Seer, which Farael is.

Now, half the world is coming to mine tonight so I doubt I'll be able to get back on. So, happy new year!

I guess we'll get to you tomorrow.

Morm if you trust me than you should trust me when I say Farael is the seer and you're making a mistake.

You warned me yesterday:
Quote:
As it stands I think you are a crazy innocent on a mission that will prove catastrophic if you continue to persue it because, like I said you are innocent, I believe, too so if you kill me it will increase the suspicion around you and only lead to your ultimate demise.
And now I'm going to give you that same warning. Instead of thinking what story is the only one that fits together and makes sense (that is I'm the ranger who successfully defended Farael yesterday, because the wolves thought they were going to kill the seer), you're thinking Farael is trying to drag out the gifteds.

What do you mean Farael had no motive to reveal at this time? He's got two wolves right for us to lynch, and as he rightly figured out he was attacked yesterday, the oppurtune time to reveal was now...today. I don't see anyone else saying Farael isn't the seer, do you?

Weren't you the one the last two days criticising me for not considering a Mac-Nogrod wolf-on-wolf plan? And now that we have Farael saying Mac is a wolf you suddenly are backing away?

I'm sorry Farael, maybe I shouldn't have done my job, maybe it would have been better to let you get killed.

With that said, I'm done focusing on Mac and Rikae. It's clear this is their wolfish plot to get us sidetracked. The cursed has been changed, there's still work to be done, so I'm going to do my job and try to figure out who it was.

You seem to know something I don't and I do trust you more than any of the other three.

BAH! I can't stand this.
