That's a good point indeed.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Let me also say: good point Aganzir, and one which makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe that's why Form was killed. He and Nogrod could be excused because they were both around and, indeed, more suspicious looking than Boro. Pity about Form but maybe this means Nogrod looks quite good.

++ Boro

I go to work and return to find Boro has gone from ranger to hunter quite magically.

In regards to what is to be done tomorrow I'd like to look at Eonwe. Form is now dead after being considered fairly innocent and surviving a bandwagon. Eonwe survived two bandwagons and everyone seemed to push him out of mind after that. I think it would be a good idea to relook at Eonwe.

But what if Boro acted alone? He revealed himself to ensure the death of Shasta, I think that much is clear. I don't think he did it as an attempt to save his last partner. If he wanted to do that he could simply have swayed the village another way. No one suspected him too much except Nogrod and in light of yesterday's performance he obviously can convince the village quite well.

Even today he comes out as our hunter. Not exactly going to work two days in a row, but I'm not so sure Boro was trying to save anyone from the gallows yesterday. I think it was to ensure the ranger was taken out of the picture before another night kill could be prevented for Boro and his partner.

I've just been panicking slightly because I thought we had only one chance to get things right tomorrow. Luckily I had forgotten about one of our quieter players, Eonwe. Great relief!

I should not speculate on who I find most suspicious today, because I don't really want the wolves to come after me (known innocent will make our odds much nicer on that last day). So I don't want to give the wolves any part of my mind.

Must dash now but will be back a couple of hours before deadline.

And I'm not thinking so, either. I was rather wondering why it was Boro, whose wolfishness might not have been discovered too soon had he not done it - didn't he trust his fellow wolf would pose as the hunter to get Shasta killed, or was his fellow maybe not around to do that? That's what had me wondering.

Also, I think it would be useful if someone could check how those still alive possibly changed their opinions about Boro after day 2. It's either him or the one yet undiscovered who was turned on night 3, I'm pretty sure of that.

Okay, leaving now.

[Nogrod]

Just a short one here...

I like the way Aganzir works now - and seems to make sense. And what she said affirms some bad feelings I've had with Rikae.

Now try to bear with me. I'll try to explain.

There's in a way no problem with her, she plays nice, considerate, reasonable... but somehow I'm not able to trust her - it's like with Kitanna... I could say the same of her as well.

But I'm also still a bit worried about Eönwë. The kill of Kath (which took two Nights) is kind of out of the blue looking at her posts - unless she hit it right with her "this is totally random, hey it's Day1, totally random..." etc. behaviour. I'd think wolves like Mith or Boro would jump on that (not discussing now who the original wolves were, and anyhow at least one of them was) and think her a seer who had luckily got it right...

Arrgghh!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Aganzir's post just there (the detailed one) is a good read. Reminds me of that post by Boro I praised a couple of days ago. What does that tell me?

Nogrod, I too am seeing a lot of sense in what Aganzir posts; this is why I'm especially sensitive to the idea of her stringing us along. I agree with her the first few days; then she looks really suspicious; now she speaks more sense again. She's tricksy.

Could go either way with her.

No indication of who I'm going to hunt (and not only because I have absolutely no idea yet who I'll choose!). I know I wasn't able to contribute today but I'll hopefully be able to do a lot more tomorrow (in the night -- I need to look at the Formendacil stuff) and the next day too -- or, failing that, kill the wolf who dares disturb my slumber.

[Aganzir]

Sorry it took this long - I had to leave for a while.

Boro & Nog
Day 3 Boro found Nogrod trusty, but on day 4 his votes worried him. He said Mith's death would reveal a lot about him. Nogrod considered Boro innocent, but notified it was only a feeling from the previous day since someone had changed sides. He also said he tends to trust the judgement of Boro due to his record and the sense he had spoken.
On day 5 Nog said he's a bit concerned about Boro. After analysing the votes he felt a bit better about him.
Boro said if one vote for Mith was wolfish, he would imagine it to be Kit or Nog's. He made a big analysis of Nog, which gave the impression of Nog being innocent.
Nog was more inclined to trust Boro's hunter claim than Shasta's, and asks what a Borowolf would benefit from pretending to be the ranger.

Mith & Nog
On day 3 Nogrod was baffled about Mith, but notified that it was only a feeling from the previous days, since someone had changed sides.
His top suspects were Mith, Kitanna, Nilp, Eönwë, & Rikae, all of whom (except Nilp and Mith) are still alive. Mith suspected Nog and voted for him on day 3.
From day 4 on also Nog suspected Mith heavily, to the extent of being sure about her: "First of all you know you don't need to act on that promise as Mith is a wolf."

Conclusion: Nog looks pretty innocent. I can believe if he goes after his fellows when they are already suspected, but would he really be the first one to say someone is concerning him, even a little? Or be so much against Mith? Unless this is the pack's masterplan to help Nog survive till the end, but I'm not inclined to think so.

Boro & Kit
On day 4 Boro said he had that far thought Kit looked pretty innocent. He said he trusts Kitanna, and she doesn't look misleading. Also, if she was right that Mith was a wolf, he would probably trust her for the rest of the game.
On day 5 Kitanna was unsure of Boro (and Rikae) - of all the others she had an opinion. Boro said he has felt Kitanna's voting to be pretty safe, maybe just because she usually has to vote early. If a vote for Mith was wolfish, he would imagine it to be Kit or Nog's.

Mith & Kitanna
On day 4 Kitanna believed Dur had dreamed of Mith and found her a wolf, and voted for her.

Conclusion: Somehow that Boro's trusting Kit for the rest of the game if she's right about Mith makes me feel better about her. Otherwise, I don't really know.

Boro & Rikae
On day 3 Boro said Rikae looked the most innocent of those who had voted for EW while he and I had been talking about lynching Nerwen. On day 4 he was worried that Rikae had slipped into the background, but her voting didn't look suspicious, and that day there were far more wolfish people around than her. The same day Rikae said that that day Boro seemed quite sensible and sincere, at least.

Mith & Rikae
On day 4 Mith didn't look especially suspicious to Rikae, and she found herself wondering where the bandwagon came from the previous day. Voted for Form when it was all about Mith or Shasta being lynched.

Conclusion: They didn't speak much about one other, and if they did they found one other innocent. However, there's something I noticed about Rikae. After Shasta's revealing he voted for me, and was worried when it started to seem other people might not follow her; "Nog, are you saying that Shasta's revelation should let Aganzir off the hook?" Somehow it looks like she knew there would not be a competing claim (since Shasta was the ranger). If you have suspected him yourself, didn't it occur to you that he might have just been bluffing in order to out the ranger, since he was heavily suspected?

Boro & Eönwë
On day 3 he said he may have to start reconsidering his thoughts about him, since he had voted for EW while Boro and I were talking about lynching Nerwen. On day 4 Boro was baffled about Eönwë, but hinted at the direction that he might be a wolf ("An apologetic wolf is not unheard of."). As far as I can see, Eönwë didn't really mention Boro.

Mith & Eönwë
On day 4 Eönwë said he didn't know why he had voted for Nilp, and had he been there later, he would probably have voted for Mith. He also voted for her that day.

Conclusion: Could be fellow wolves or could be not. Somehow, Eönwë seems to avoid mentioning Boro, who didn't speak about him more than in the analysis, which he made of everyone. Eönwë says he could have voted for Mith also the previous day, but voted for Nilp instead, for no reason, "I'll explain when I can," (when it was either Mith or Nilp who would be lynched) - the wolves had probably decided to sacrifice her after that.

**

I feel a bit better about Kitanna, a bit worse about Rikae, and worse about Eönwë.

**

Whoops, a correction to my last post. Eönwë was indeed around after Shasta's revelation (but did he vote? No? Why?). However, Boro might not have counted on him going to reveal.

I'll be leaving again, and I'm not sure if I'll be back anymore today.

First of all, the obvious:

Hmm... Have I become a chief suspect now?

My internet died on me, just as I was about to post. Not my fault.

[Eönwë]

The only problem is that now we have no ranger and no seer, so all our defensive powers are gone, and the wolves are free to do what they want, without being stopped or seen. That's obviously why they killed Shasta.
So that they could be free.

[Rikae]

Eönwë, you mean so he or she could be free? Because here goes the second (third) wolf:

Well, yes and no. Last night they were free, but from today onwards, there will only be one who is.
