Oh fine already. It's not like I've been using my power well anyway...I'm Gretel.

First Day I double Mira, the second Kath, the third the phantom, the fourth Mira again, and didn't do it at all yesterDay.

If people are wondering how I chose: simple I was going to see Mira on Day 1 so I decided to double her vote. Same with Kath because, well, I had nothing really better to go on. Third was the phantom because he seemed to be making sense and then the fourth when Mira revealed I figured why not make sure with her vote. And yesterDay I couldn't double the vote of Izzy because that's who I was going to do and I couldn't double Mira and it felt a waste because we all knew that Fea was going to die anyway.

Precisely.

I corrected that mistake 40 minutes ago. I miscounted, due to the fact that LRC is listed in a different place on the role list. So in fact there are two people left who are Ordos or who at least think they are Ordos.

But if that was the very last thing you wrote in your post (it would appear so from the wording, "Finally, what's...."), and I corrected the statement 30 minutes before you posted, why did it take you so long to hit "submit" since you obviously copied and pasted the final quote in your post 30 minutes before you posted? Makes me suspect you've been thinking and pondering and plotting about something or other regarding your wording. Why? I'm tempted to think you are actually starting to believe I'm innocent after all, but since I'm no longer your faithful RB you are wanting to spin things the other direction.

Thank you, Lari. If no one steps up to challenge then we have two known innocents to rally around.

phantom, of course it occurred to me that you were an innocent trying to flush out a wolf. But your reveal looked much too scripted to pick it up at face value. So I decided to play it like I saw it, and if you were indeed an innocent hopefully my doubt would cause a wolf to think twice.

I should be back well before DL, so I'm not too worried about it. My thoughts run to Gaurcrist, though. I don't like that singleminded focus when the village needs to consider everyone.

The delay was because I was called away to do chores. That's all.

I mean, okay, I should have refreshed before posting.

But even if the "remaining ordo" comment is just a mistake and not a wolf-slip, you haven't answered my other points. And there's your "precisely" comment. Are you saying you are the Robber Bridegroom now?

No. That "precisely" meant that you were right about me catching Fea's slip immediately, and thus I knew that she was the false Seer.

Anyway, my fear at this point is that people will show up suddenly and vote and not have time to talk at all.

Let's say hypothetically McCaber is the Hunter, and here in a couple hours when several of us are asleep Kath and Gaurcrist come running in and vote for him, and then they leave. Whoops. With them unloading their votes and leaving, he has no chance to save himself with a reveal, even if he can prove precisely who he is.

So people, seriously, let's not have any of that. Everyone try to be around in the final hour and talk about your leanings and such, so that we can have the best possibility of lynching a baddie. We can't screw this up.

Oh, and Hansel and Gretel, please don't tell us who you used your powers on today. For all we know the Baddies technically have enough voting power to take this game here and now (especially if LRC has been turned), and we don't want to give them the chance to do it. And I would recommend keeping silent on that matter tomorrow as well.

Sleepy. Bed.

I'm setting my alarm so I'm up for the final hour. See ya.

So we potentially have two known innocents. Eomer and Lari.

Which leaves:
Nerwen
McCaber
Gaurcrist
Inzil
phantom

One is the Hunter (good guy), one is potentially Little Red Cap (bad guy if turned, otherwise good), the Big Bad Wolf (bad guy), the Old Witch (bad guy) and the Robber Bridegroom (bad guy but tallies as good).

Hmm, we have 8 people in this village at the moment. Only three known baddies (I'm discounting Red Cap). We have two reveals. Makes it 6-3. If the Hunter revealed it would be 5-3 but obviously that negates their power a bit. I don't know. It just feels like we ought to be able to push this on numbers but my maths isn't strong enough to work it out. I think what I mean is that if the Hunter revealed then (ignoring me) there are 4 people to vote between, with a chance of 3/4 that we'd get a bad guy (either one of the two wolves or the robber bridegroom).

Is this making any sense?

By the way I'm sorry I didn't appear before. I've been trying to think this through for ages and just couldn't make it all come together in my head. Also I will be leaving in half an hour and won't be back before deadline.
