I'll lay my cards on the table.

I think that Fea has lied about Eomer, and that Eomer is playing along. I also think that he wisely claimed not to have protected you, Nogrod, in order that he not contradict the real Ranger. And, suddenly, the idea of two Rangers is introduced and the real Ranger is no longer able to prove Eomer's guilt by a counter-reveal. This is how I see the situation, and it's diabolical.

While I don't immediately see the advantage in Fea revealing my role (it could be nothing more than gaining a known innocent when one of us dies... or whatever weird scenario plays out when she dies) neither do I see an advantage in evil-Fea's doing what she did.

Gwath, someone always spells out the opposing theory when there's a gifted reveal. I have little to say other than your theory is not true, but very plausible to the unknowing villager.

Maybe Fea is telling us half a truth? The whole thing about both sides being at a disadvantage to kill her seems a bit odd, and too dominating a role.

Another thought: I think the other Ranger might be on the Lovers' side, to protect the different Lover pairs from each other, and focus their attacks on the ordos. Now, this gift might be a bit difficult to use in a rational way, but what if he/she was connected in some way to a Seer? It seems far-fetched though, because we are swiftly running out of players for the roles; and how likely is it that we just killed a bunch of ordos and left the gifteds til the end?

Yeah, this is baffling.

Glad to hear Eomer's response. Now I know he is also not on the village's side. He cannot be the ranger and I know this for a fact.

Sorry I can't explain this now...I've gotta run to class. But DO NOT trust Eomer and Fea. I'll be back in about three hours to say more.

Fea claims that Eomer is the Ranger, and Eomer supports this claim. He also says that he did not protect Nogrod and suggests that there are two Rangers. There are several of us who think that this is all bull and that Fea would not reveal Eomer's special role if she was innocent or if he was in fact the Ranger. That's it in a nutshell.

And so it happens. Every time there's a gifted reveal.

++BRINNIEL

As for Gwath, I'm not sure. He already guessed that I was lying so he was obviously easily led by Brinniel. I'm not sure if he is evil but Brinniel clearly is.

Unless there's a truly devilish side to this game that no-one can guess. It's too late: I'm assuming there is good versus bad.

I'll spell it out for those villagers who are more confused by what is happening than I am:

I have revealed, and so has Fea. Judging by Brinniel's reaction, of pairing me and Fea, she sees us both as equal enemies. But either something too bizarre to figure out is going on (and no-one knows if Diamond has arranged this) or, most likely, Brinniel is evil

I think she might even be a cobbler-figure, because I can't see how she was in immediate danger. She sees that the village will have to (probably) make do with one known innocent tomorrow, rather than two, and she's sacrificing herself.

Actually, this makes perfect sense. I can't see why a lover Brinniel would do that because then it's game over for her and her lover in 2 days at most. Nevertheless, my vote stands, because it's too late for me and I must go to bed. Brinniel's very probably evil, and that's that. Apologies for the lack of structure in this post, but my thoughts evolve as I type (and I'm too tired to edit). I think the Lovers are still out there, and Brinn is covering for them. Maybe one is Gwath, I'm not certain.

OOOPPPS!

This is getting even more interesting... I'm off to look at the election special for a while but rest assured I will be back.
