Aha. I guessed it was you, Fea. *pats self on back*

It would increase her chances of dreaming a wolf toNight, though... I don't know. It's really up to the Ranger to decide.

We really should start trying to work out who this last wolf might be now, instead of just leaving it to Fea, who may after all only get one more shot.

So, apart from Fea herself, and Wolflote, we've got four semi-known innocents:

Wilwa,
Izzy,
Zil,
Form


and three complete unknowns:

Eönwë
Rune

Me (I am of course utterly innocent, but I'm just putting myself in there to show I don't play favourites ).

The first question, then, is: how likely is it that Candy is in the first group rather than the second?

EDIT:X'd with Wilwa.

Why is Wilwa only semi-known?

For the same reason as the others: one of them might have been turned since.

Er... why do you only ask about Wilwa?

Because I always get confused about the nicknames for Inziladun and Isabellkya.

Announcement

Per yesterday, the following people have one point added to their score for the Day.

Nerwen
Steve

They, along with Fea and Izzy, correctly guessed the reason for the names of the wolves.

Oh, and Form gets a point because it's his birthday and we love him. ^_^


Which puts the Moddess-Driven Tally Bonus to:
Nerwen +1
Steve +1
Form +1


No word from Simon yet but I'll put it up when Dun tells me.

Another wolf? And we were just getting so close...

And maybe that's why Nogwolf tried to downplay the idea of 5 wolves yesterDay...

Ok, so I've never played a game with Cursed Villager before. Do they if they are one?

I assume you meant to have a "know" in there.

In any game I have ever played, they did not know... but Sally has been known to make up her own rules before... but I'm pretty sure the poem said they "knew not" what they were.

The temptation to give you an extra point is almost too much....

Almost.

Okay, so it's worth mentioning that with a birthday today, I'm sort of only half here, mentally, and will be gone for most of the hours leading up to the deadline. I'm here now... and will in and out regularly for the next couple hours... but I'm a bit scatterbrained. Probably going to respond better to stimulus than I'll be putting it out myself.

I'm also thoroughly confused by Sally's special roles, secrecy, and poems... for someone who wants to study and teach English Literature, I'm not a super poesy-person. I'm also discounting Sally as evidence, for the most part, about her own roles. She's cheeky enough to say anything.

Could the turned/cursed one of been the One Hit Wonder? And so the wolves actually had no say in whom they turned? But were trying to kill this One Hit Wonder, and instead turned them to the evil side?

A competition? True neutral? I would take a stab and say that role I had in your Weres of Eire game. *shrug* I don't have time to go asearching.

Haha.I watched This is It last week.

You're absolutely right. I honestly can't explain where my logic was at the time, for some reason I had Izzy and I in a different category in my mind then Inzil.

What? But I found an answer: in Kath's first game she had something called the Changling, every Night they chose a player and got that person's role for the Night, so depending on who they chose they could be on a different team every Night, therefore could win with either side. No? psh, all that work for nothing. My own fault for not realising I had cross posted with you. haha

OK. Watching House now. Be back in about 45 minutes.

Well I don't think it's Form, a Lover being a Cursed as well just seems unlikely. I suppose it could be Inzil or Izzy. Nog did vote for Izzy yesterDay. But I just don't know, I don't think it's her. Inzil, I'm not sure...

I personally think it's in that second group of Nerwen's. Now which of them would have been a more likely kill choice after Day 2? I don't know. And then there still might be this One Hint Wonder person chilling around somewhere.

I know for sure these two aren't gonna change for me so I'll vote now:

++ Fea

and

++ Form (happy birthday!)


I'll leave the other 2 til closer to DL, just incase something interesting happens.

x'ed with Rune, and Rune: Fea dreamt me Night 1, so I could technically be Candy. Same with Inzil and Izzy.
