A couple of things I don't understand about this mess. (Only a couple? No, a good many, actually! But - err - a couple I think we could use some clarification on.)

He sure knows how to confuse people. I don't want to be led around by him to a wrong direction.

Gal, if you were the Seer, why wouldn't you have dreamed Nog last Night? Or any Night? You seem quite convinced he's evil, yet you say you haven't dreamed of him. Would be a very risky thing to do as a Seer, I'd say, considering how close the village would read your posts in case you died.

Second thing. Both Gal and Shasta seem convinced Kit is a wolf, though she doesn't appear on Gal's dream list either. I'm sure this has been explained before, but I'd like you to do it once again, please.

Third thing. The shared "knowledge" of Shasta, Sally and Gal that Nerwen is a wolf already before the "Seer" revealed her just doesn't make sense, full stop.

Fourth thing. Just speculating here. People seem to build two wolf packs - or two gifted packs - but what is neither of the two "packs" is actually there? What if half of one and half of the other are bluffing?

EDIT: x-ed with Noggins

Surprise me and do not vote Shasta... and there will be no "who gets in the last vote" game of seconds toDay.

That way we could do this fair and straight toMorrow and not let the chance decide.

Nice try, mate. The thing is, why would I? Why hand the Day over to someone I know is lying?

I am not the cobbler. Gal is. And if you haven't realized what that makes me, please don't say it aloud.

A Little Green · 12-12-2011, 05:31 PM

That said -

++ Shasta

Good night, and good luck.

Nogrod · 12-12-2011, 05:34 PM

Love you Greenie! I mean you more or less removed my last suspicion.

++ Nerwen

It's then up to the boldest watcher for the last possible second to send in a qualified vote. An interesting way to decide a werewolf-game...

Maybe we could call this a draw?

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-12-2011, 05:43 PM

Well, Lottie, if you aren't evil, be a dear and vote Nerwen for us?

How can I be sure you're not pretender?

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-12-2011, 06:58 PM

Here and waiting. You wolves won't win this one.

I owe Gwaihir thirty pounds of birdseed if you do. I can't afford that!

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-12-2011, 07:00 PM

++Nerwen

For Gwaihir! And the other residents of Lake-Town!

You can be assured that she is.

Edit: where are the votes? *panicks*

Kitanna · 12-12-2011, 07:00 PM

Ah, you've come to muddle up the waters for us...

But I'll clarify anyways just in case some other baddies would want to jump on your questions.

True thing that it was risky, but I believed that I left enough clues for the village to figure out who my dream was.

And I was inches away from sending Nog's name in twice. But the first time decided that the less in-the-spotlight Pitch was more dangerous, and some things that he said rang alarm bells. Next Night I actually sent his name in, but then realised that it is an unefficient dream; I expected him to be the topic of discussion on D3, and possibly the lynch. So before Boro replied to me I asked him if I could change my pick to Shasta, and he kindly allowed me.

Shasta and myself are real gifteds. Nerwen is a real wolf. This fact is as solid as stone.

I have a bad feeling that the wolves are not going t risk it and will vote Nerwen to look good toMorrow. Not that I mind extra Nerwen votes, but they don't necessarily mean anything.

Gonna look at all the "question mark"s' posts to see if they could contain evidence of the player's role.

Edit: xed with Lottie*2
