1420! <== Beeeeeeer!

I'd suggest we keep any speculation regarding the Innkeeper/Seer to ourselves. Discussing Seerish comments openly just draws the wraiths towrd the true Seer, which isn't good. True, it may help to protect said person, but I personally think it wise to conceal the Seer's identity from xyr enemies as long as possible.

I'm still suspicious of Mac, due to his ongoing suspicion of Gollum.

Unless a person in being blatantly obvious, in which case discussion is fair game because the person obviously wants to be discussed for whatever reason.

Besides... it gives me something to do instead of be angsty.

I agree in part. If Rikae did not blatantly name herself as the seer, it would be a different story. As Fea said, it's out in the open.

But there are certain speculations that should not be tabled.

At any rate, Rikae has spoken. Whatever your intentions, thanks for making today interesting.

Do you have a reason for giving that as the reason, or?

Never mind, let's lynch Berry and Greenie. They're sending hints.

Carrots and potatoes clearly indicate... whoever's name Berry Ferny sent to the little green wraith... only trouble is, who would that be...

Of course. My point was that all wolves were timid, which is not likely, but possible.

That was sloppily phrased by me: I mean most probably a joking innocent, or Ferny (who would not be joking because he had a plan behind this move)

Nah, Lommy was right, actually.

Not enough, and not to her other points.

What are you talking about, Menel? I never really suspected Gollum at all, he just looked least innocent of the people on the block. And what do you mean by ongoing?

Alright, I honestly thought you had simply followed up her comment since there was a gap between the timing of the posts and no indication of a cross.

Bah, I still can't see how that comment could've been taken seriously. But I suppose it's all a matter of perspective. It can be easy to interpret the tone and meaning of someone's comment in different ways.

Yeah, I noticed Fea's post before I started to write mine (so it was a crossing of minds, not posts).

No, I know it certainly looked like a joke, but I don't trust anything at this point.

1420! But sherioushy. *hic* I'm not as think as you drunk I am. *hic*

What I was referring to, Mac, was the fact that you wereacting suspicious about Gollum throughout Day 1, and not just at the end.

In response to Nogrod:
I saw several reactions, and Mac's in particular. That was all I really wanted to do, and yes, of course, I didn't want to risk the real seer being revealed.

I thought Mac's response looked innocent when I saw it. Even Lommy's comment on it didn't make it look suspicious, since I took it the way Brinniel did. Now that Mac replied the way he did to Brinn, though, I'm not so sure. His response simply doesn't make sense.

I don't think he's Ferny but he could still be a wraith.
