What I mean by "maybe even toMorrow" is that the black knight might be able to protect her during the Day.

Brinn is looking cobblerish now, which makes me more confident about Durie.

Very true. The Night bit, that is. I need to look at a few things here in a bit.

Rikae · 02-27-2009, 09:56 PM

By the way, Sally, what does the text under your avvie say? My eyes aren't so good.

Ah. It says "Ickle Phantom kills you nao", with "kthnxbye" written under it.

Rikae · 02-27-2009, 09:58 PM

A piece of information. Make of it what you will.

Kath's dream last Night and my hunt are the same person.

(Back to crypticness, I suppose. Oh....how....wonderful....)

Okay- I just got back, so if you haven't voted please wait for me to catch up really quick as I have no clue what is going on.

wilwarin538 · 02-27-2009, 10:10 PM

Ok, wow, so I come back on and see like 3 new pages, lots has happened.

So I've skimmed through everything and got the basic gist of what's happened. I'm leaning towards believing Rikae (since I am a simple white pawn, not the "real" WQ or a baddie), and I think I have a theory as to how it could all make sense. I'm not sure if this has been said yet or not.

So, since the good Ranger can protect from people at Night, perhaps the bad Ranger protects people from being lynched? That would explain Izzy's mysterious survival, and also prove that she is a baddie. So the evil Ranger protected her, she didn't get lynched, and enjoyed the mass confusion it caused. (It's possible cause Shasta never really clarified the way an evil Ranger would work) That would make Sally the cobbler, trying to get the WQ(who I'm thinking really is Rikae) lynched, and pave the way for the baddie victory.

Ahh, I need to think about this, I'll be back soon and probably change my vote.

X'posted with a few, will post again once I see what phantom has to say. (don't take too long please, I'm getting tired

)

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-27-2009, 10:17 PM

Wilwa, if your hypothesis about Black Ranger protection is right, then how do we explain that the BQ's kill choice didn't die the other Night?

Rikae · 02-27-2009, 10:20 PM

Perhaps the Night protection carries over into the Day as well? Shasta did mention the Black Knight being able to protect against werebear attacks. It doesn't really seem fair, but then, if we have an extra Hunter, that would unbalance things a bit the other direction, anyway.

the phantom · 02-27-2009, 10:20 PM

Okay. I skimmed, mind you. So I still don't have a great grip on things.

So, what I hear is that we should gun for the BQ today. Sounds like a fine idea. Especially with a WW in the bag.

But this business with Brin coming in and doubting everything. I dunno. But then that's what she does. I remember the way she reacted to my past reveals and I think this is pretty standard for her. But of course if she's the true WQ then... well... really, there's nothing I can do. She hasn't even claimed it, let alone proved it.

And I agree with Fea on about everything. I'd like to follow her vote. Personally, I feel like we will not make sense of this situation until the game is over, no matter how much we talk about it, because not everyone is being truthful and some of it may actually be motivated by good reasons to lie. So why try to make everything be perfect? Just go with the gut. Let fly. At least that's how I'm feeling right about now. Probably because I'm a bit sleepy and cranky.

I'm amused that over half the thread comes from Nebraska.

Brinniel · 02-27-2009, 10:22 PM

*becomes a broken record*

Why does everyone trust the first person who reveals?

Once upon a time in a Lovers' game, Fea was the first to reveal that she was some secret role...in the end, she turned out to be a cobbler lover seer. So yeah, the baddies sometimes do reveal first.
