WW LXXXVII - The Valley Forge

[the phantom]

Now I will vote.

++Pitch

[Boromir88]

++Pitch

I intend to be back before I have to go tomorrow, so I may yet retract, but hopefully he starts talking before I have to go. I'm not buying this "be careful HUSH UP OR YOU'RE MODFIRED" business from phantom. Who do you suspect Pitch, why, and why do you think Rikae was asking if others thought you're hints strange?

Rikae was definitely going out of her way to look like the KD yesterday. Maybe it was a Forge plan all along, and it was a last desperate attempt to drag the real KD out. I don't know, but I do know you've been in the middle of everything since Day 1. With Bom's lynching, your plea to not want to see phantom lynched, Gal's lynching....time to spill it. You know way too much.

I don't see what good could come for one of the Forgers to die in an attempt to look like the KD, not after having Bom and Gal lynched. Unless if somehow Gal was the KD, and Rikae covered for the rest of her pack to make it look like she was? Again, I don't see the benefit there.

*shrug* Maybe that's what phantom's hinting about up there?
EDIT:X'd with Zil.

[McCaber]

Unfortunately, Pitchwife and phantom have been extremely cryptic, and the rest of toDay haven't given me much to go on.

Inzil I'm almost positive is innocent, Boro and Eruhen are as close, Nerwen and Mith are unlikely candidates, and as strange as tp's been toDay I'm still not comfortable voting him.

So I'm looking at a handful of nothing as far as voting candidates go. If I don't get any insights in half an hour or so, I'll probably go with Pitch, for lack of a better candidate.

[McCaber]

I'm out. I need to be at work in seven hours, so without further ado

2 lightning strikes landed practically right on top of our house and power's out. I've got a little over an hour of battery on my laptop, but...this didn't take long to read.

I was hoping Pitch would have replied.

Ah well, in that case all I'll say is hi-ho, hi-ho off to the bus I go. And knowing what happened last time I had to be gone for the weekend...I care not what happens to me, but don't let phantom convince you I will make some miraculous return to save and prove some genius plan of his. I won't and if he tries that one again, he should probably be lynched.

[Mithalwen]

I for one have no desire for a repeat performance of that horror.....

Sorry, I have to sleep sometimes.

OK, let's have it out. What Mith calls "that horror" shortly before DL yesterDay revolved around tp's query about my colour scale:

and my reply to that:

tp seems to assume that by saying this, I was unambiguously implying the role of the person I would have put in White-Hot, and thus unambiguously implying my own role in a way that comes close to a reveal worthy of modfire. I don't see that this is true.

Rikae picked up the idea and ran with it, claiming that the fact that I hadn't been modfired indicated that I was lying. Her being killed in the Night obviously seems to corroborate that claim.

Let's say if I was correct in my suspicions yesterDay, and given that quite a number of people seemed to trust me, wouldn't it make sense for the Forge to do their utmost to discredit me? Especially if the last Forger hasn't been much suspected otherwise and thinks s/he has a reasonable cance to make it?

Rikae as the KD would implicate me, tp and McCaber as possible Forgers. Suspects enough to occupy the village for a while, and for Rikae's packmate to reduce the number of innocents via Night kills in the meantime.

As to who I think that packmate is, I made a case against her yesterDay.
