Rikae, I would also like to state that the voting polls don't really open for another 10 hours so any vote received before that is null and void.

Looks like having three wolves bagged makes others than just me incredibly lazy... I will start going through the wolves' posts. I'll start with... THE Ka.

Ka's opinions on other people:

Day1
#66 calls McC modest, jokes with tp, calls Ilya's point about votes good, banters with Shasta&Agan
#104 agrees with Boro about history being a bad excuse, agrees with tp that reps should be independent.
#138 disagress with me by saying she will vote someone non-quiet and non-veteran as her rep
#170 corrects Nogrod about the number of her posts, says she's tempted to vote Ilya for rep, votes Boro for rep.
#342 agrees with Gwath about casinos, some stuff about Nogrod (it hardly matters what she said and her sentence didn't make much sense to me...), says she will keep an eye on Legate, wonders about Kath but says she feels rather innocent that far, doesn't suspect Agan, says Shasta seems interesting and agrees with him.

Day2
#561 says McCaber was a safe kill, agrees with me about everybody thinking sally innocent being weird but has no distinctive opinion on her, also agrees with me that Nerwen seems innocentish, jokes about tp, votes me as a rep because I'm interested and able, also considers voting Nerwen

Day3
#972 agrees with Rune about Nog being odd, agrees with tp about being nice
#978 votes Greenie for rep because "she’ll poke better than the Spanish inquisition", agrees with tp&Boro that wolves are enjoying the current situation, says that it's convenient for the wolves that we only talk about Boro&tp
#1073 speculates with Rune about why an innocent would lay traps (suggests impersonating hunter)

That's all of it. Not much...
I don't think this points at anything at all. I think no conclusions can be drawn from Ka's attitude to people before Nog and morm's posts are analysed, if even then..

Lommy I can save you the time and effort of looking, if you just ask nicely I'll tell you who the wolves are.

Okay. Let's look at this thing with Gil once more.

After all those patronizing remarks on his posting there followed this kind of interchanges. Just think of it yourselves how would you have felt getting all this because you had missed the voting-time?

i had a feeling this was going to be a bad idea... maybe i should just step out of the game now before it becomes too late.

EDIT: the whole "its underlined" part makes me feel like you are calling me an idiot and thats what made me go more defensive, so to say.

So what say you? I think you just misbehaved. But if he is the seer how much do you think he would like to help you guys after that?



Now Boro as a wolf surely noticed that there had been no seer revelations coming forwards even if the Days passed and he started to gather his thoughts finding his "alive status" Day after Day a pressing matter to him (that's probably one of the reasons he was so nice to tp - and after that short row with me he started to "like to see me around" as well. He needed us to stay alive beside him. And then he came to this exact same conclusion I did yesterDay (well as a wolf I tend to think like he does as a wolf as we have the same problems more or less): Gil is the seer. And he saw his moment there.

And like he said, he's the worst back-stabber there is and thus he decided to buy some further credibility with trying to lynch The Ka, his packmate. Remember, he never said he had "dreamt" of her. So how did he manage to hit her so accurately? Also remember: he voted first, Shasta was cross-posting him...

And what a surprise we find Shasta dead the next Day. Indeed a perfect pick from his point of view. How did it go that smoothly while we were denied to kill Boro that very same Night?

Like we were denied to kill him the Night before, the Night when when Agan died - and how it just fit in so well with the things Boro was trying to meddle our heads with?

Okay, we have blood in our hands as well. We killed McCaber - and some of you quessed it right: I persuaded morm to it - and I had to use all my arguments for it. And we deserve to die for it.

I think there is something like rolling of the dices for which team gets the kill each Night - or who knows, maybe Fea just chooses what she likes to choose?

One more thing to point out to all you unbelievers out there. Fea never said the four wolves would be on the same side. She only said there will be four wolves.

Now some of you may wonder why am I trying to be helpful seeing that me and morm are dead meat already? Well, letting a rival team win is worse than seeing the village win.


Anyway. You will see Boro will keep going alive and well, giving you a name of one innocent every Day while you lynch one of those yet unknown (and for some miraculous reason the one nominated as innocent dies the next Night and Boro stays).

So you need to use your little grey cells...

Oi, Nog. Shut up.




Hehe. Alternatively, we're not going to listen to you anyway, so feel free to spam, erm, post to your heart's content, my little friend.


Blast. I have to run to class. And this non-WW related discussion was getting so interesting.

Sally you weren't so full of hate during the night periods, in fact you were quite pleasant...why the change?

Well that's your choice. You are the ones to suffer the consequences of that decision.

I don't think so sweetie, besides there has been a temporary change of jurisdiction and I plan on being quite Denning-like in my judgements. Mwahahahaha

And so if you must talk about sport it should be proper games like Rugby and Cricket that are worthy of a Moddesses attention not those silly forms of football and glorified rounders NB Aussie Rules is quite acceptable. Up the Blues.

You know you love football, Mith, you can't deny it.

Gah. No, I will not be lulled in by yet another siren, there's work to be done.

I will give some final thoughts and considerations before the deadline, but right now I'm going to do a couple other things and then observe a bit here.

Indeed I do not deny that I love Rugby Football and Australian Rules Football as played by real men (and real women ) the other sorts are not worthy of my attention...
