Well, I looked through them, and boy did I find something. Something very troubling.
Kitanna, are you around? Any chance you are Nimrodel after all? |

Who voted for Jex? No, sorry. Not sure where you got the impression I was. I'm just a boring, misguided ordo who is playing a terrible game and is probably doomed at this point.
And I actually have very little to say at this point except I don't believe anyone anymore. This game destroyed my faith in humanity. Though I did come up with a few theories on lunch: 1) Rikae is Nimrodel-Hunter, but will lose her powers if she reveals. This being how the Tarragyn or whatever worked in Agan's game some games back. Rikae thinks she has a wolf and she'll take them down if she dies. It makes her self-sacrifice make sense. 2) Rikae is a suicidal wolf with village sympathies. Very unlikely, but since this is WW nothing can be counted out. 3) Rikae is an ordo, meaning Cop and Fareal were cursed. 4) Lottie is the wolf. Agan threw her name out at the end of Day 2 for those who hadn't voted. Agan didn't vote for her, but helped doom McCaber instead. A ruse perhaps to distance herself from fellow wolf, Lottie? 5) Lottie really is Nimrodel and she's effectively an ordo as she said. Right now I'm leaning toward 1 & 4 being the most likely. I've already fallen for one fake reveal this game, I'm not about to believe anymore.

An Elven-maid there was of old,
A shining star by day: Her mantle white was hemmed with gold, Her paws of silver-grey. Lottie replying to Aganzir: Quote:
Kitanna, I was hoping you were only because otherwise I have to consider the possibility that Nimrodel is the cursed. |

I wasn't expecting to find that, but now that I think about it, it makes sense.
We weren't told there would be other special roles, though it is possible "secret stuff", it seems more likely there are no other roles than the ones listed: Quote:

The more I think about this, the more sense it makes to me. And there is also this: Quote:
And look who Lottie wants to lynch toDay. |

I don't know, I'm still not sold that Lottie is actually Nimrodel.

That's actually (though it seems a bit wrong to mention it) why I wasn't here on Day 1. If I had gotten a PM, I would have been notified by email and known the game had started. |

Now Coppermirror has replied after Lottie's reveal, and didn't say anything about being Nimrodel, which has me thinking there will be no more reveals toDay. I'm at a loss. Now that I've had time to read the whole discussion for today (and having Lottie's reveal), I somewhat see Rikae's point, though I still have a bad feeling about her insistence in trying to unmask Nimrodel. I just feel we don't know enough about the parameters of the game to really figure out where we stand, which makes interpreting peoples' comments a bit more difficult (e.g. is this a misguided Ordo or a wolf or a vengeful Nerwen? What are the win conditions for the non-Ordos?) I'm tempted to trust Lottie on the basis of Occam's razor, but that leaves the question of whether the remaining wolf was there from the beginning (and thus Kit or Rikae) or if it may have been a cursed who turned (which would add everyone else to the mix, really). (Note that's not an edit, my girlfriend got home as I was writing this and got distracted. I likely cross posted with a bunch of people. The last post I read was Rikae's ??? Profit one

I'm sorry for not having contributed more to the discussion so far. Problem is, there are so many potential variables. Right now, I think it's most likely that if we have a wolf remaining, it's a cursed wolf, because what other explanation is there for the lack of a wolf kill on the Night that Aganzir died? And if we have a third wolf (however they got there), it makes sense that Nimrodel would be on the side of the village, because if not, that would be a vicious game balance. I'm going to discard the possibilty that the game is so unfair. However, if Nimrodel were to be a third, cursed wolf, that wouldn't break the game. But it would mean she had three roles - lover, hunter, cursed. That's an awfully complicated thing to put in a game without explaining it to the village. Would Nerwen really do that? And if there is no "wolf" any more but what we have is just Nimrodel's revenge on the Amroth voters, it's...a bit odd. I would have expected the game to end with the last wolf's death even if Nimrodel had a vendetta. And this would not explain why it is that there was no wolf kill on the Night that Agan died. I haven't read through all of this page in detail, so I'll read through the posts toDay so far carefully and see if my opinion changes, but right now I'm inclined to trust Lottie and to look for a cursed wolf. Which means I'll go back to looking through the older posts for who I think the wolves might have targeted. Edit: crossed with Rikae |
