I might be missing something here, but don't Zeus and Hera know who each other are? If that's the case then there's no reason for Borolover to be hinting to his counterpart.

Zeus is almighty, or at least he can be seen as such. King of the gods and all that. Boro was probably IC bantering. As a hint, it really wasn't very functional. As banter, it makes sense.

I was going to post the same thing. I'm so glad I made the list cause it made all this Zeus talk even more interesting. Is it just something to stir up the pot and add confusion?

I actually need to be going to bed soonish. 5 AM comes early.

I'm not making a list, there are too many bloody people.

Who stands out at the moment:

Boro- Confusing. Something doesn't sit right about him, but I'm hesitant to vote for him at this point.

Mac- As usual, I want to lynch him just for being Mac. Not toDay, though.

Eönwë- The bit about Dionysus has me pretty well convinced he's the Cursed, but as I see it, he's no threat until he's turned, and we should know when that happens, or at least know it's possibly happened.

BG- Popping in and out, no substance whatsoever. Very tempting to vote her.

x/d with Nog and Nerwen

It really does seem a reach on Mac's reasoning on why Boro said that about Zeus. I'm hesitant to vote him on Day 1 though. I always want to, and I'm hardly ever right about him, it seems.

Ay I am back. And I have caught up reading. I hate day 1s.

Nerwen- talked about Hades. (right?) very suspiciuos.

Eönwë- Dionyses. That was weird. I don't really like it.


Phantom- kinda annoying. But not going to vote.

These are the only people that I've noticed.

Xed with 172

Sorry, Hephaistos (got confused because in fact Ares was Aphrodite's lover).

Anyway, I do understand what you mean, now– but I'd say it is a "bad hint".

You mean, trying to get lynched on purpose? But the likelihood of any one person getting the chop on Day One is small, compared to the risk of being turned for dropping a hint like that. (Not that I'm sure it was a hint– it seems a very foolhardy one for the Cursed to use.)

*sigh* BeiGe, not to put too fine a point on it, but you're obviously once again skimming and copying what other people have said.

EDIT:X'd since Blind Guardian.

Looks like so far I don't have much as far as suspicions. The people that have hit my radar so far toDay are:

Boro - There was all the Zeus talk around him. However he generally confuses me so it probably means nothing.

Lottie - That might just because I'm on her radar so it probably is just a knee-jerk reaction to that. However she's also is on Nog's radar and I tend to trust Nog.

Mac - I'm not sure about him. I really can't put my finger on it, but it also might be that once again I'm on his radar so it probably means nothing.

Eonwe - I'd like to know more about this statement:

Everyone else seems to be ok or hasn't said a lot so really don't have much to go on.

On another note I talked to Sally and she said she's having internet that seems to be working sporadically.

Edit: xed up to post 172

Shasta - not seen yet, so not voting as he might appear.

Those who have been around but contributed little or nothing...
Keeper aka Mira
BeiGei
Nienna
Sally
Tum


Those who have contributed more or less and whom I'd like to see contribute more (as they make sense or feel innocentish)
Wilwa
phantom
Boro
Zil
Folwren
Lalaith


Those who have contributed and I wouldn't like to vote toDay but who bear watching for one reason or another.
Lottie
Greenie
Kath


How fitting, the one's I'm torn about but suspect enough to give them their own category...
Rikae
Mac

(that is soo bad! Really!)

My suspects.
Eonwe - the cursed
Nerwen - suspicious of wolvery

So at this point it would make sense to vote for Nerwen (or Eonwë, actually, but if you all agree there is another way of interpreting the rules then it's different; to me they look pretty clear but that may be a language issue - and anyway in this situation we might afford to wait, although after the first non-death Night it will be different), or then vote for one of the "submarines"... If the subs stay as subs when Days go on we really should try to get rid of them but if they stand up for their challenge then we should just try for the best odds. And really at this point there's still time for the subs to make it better toDay so I'm a bit hesitating voting any of them right now without knowing who will actually provide us with some thoughts and not stay the enigmas...

Any thoughts?


Heh, x'd with two I named "subs" - that's the way it goes... and a few others...

Just looking at the posts I crossed with...

Rikae looks good, like Lottie and Wilwa a little less, but not alarmingly less good (it may be I just disagree with her points). The Blind Guardian and Tum on the other hand just make the sound of the schreech of a chalk on the chalk-board! So is it just them not getting the hang of it or something else?
