Back. I'll try to get caught up over the next half hour.

Indeed, and in that spirit, perhaps we should take a likable proven innocent, perhaps Greenie, and tie her up and burn her alive.

I sincerely hope you couldn't actually be persuaded to test Firefoot or I. Or are you just offering a ray of hope to Lalaith to see if she'll grab at it?

Now, I could still be persuaded to check you though.

Ooo, and look at that- Lottie voted for Lalaith. Doesn't it warm your heart to see us finding some common ground with the fury folk?

More in a bit...

It might be thus far the only thing that could persuade me to rethink voting Lalaith. But then again, the power of rivalry is a great power as well...

Seeing as I do that this time Lottie went quite unseremoniously and with zero-banter quickly just into voting might of course talk of Rikae being someone we should rather check - but getting thus steered by a wolf probably isn't the brightest idea especially if we hold our capability of making a vote dear.

With 2 out of 3 of our known innocents voting already I'd not like to start any new scheming at this point unless urgently necessary because of some really vital info - oh well, just a minute with Mac yet around and Rune possibly not I think the time of lsitening to any new ideas is actually over.

Therefore

It thought I made myself clear yesterday. I'll just have to continue on.

No comment.

You know what I am afraid of? That we might still not have very many Wolves on this thread. It really looks like (also from e.g. the horrible failure of the innocents to organise to e.g. get a list for us done, among other things, and the players like Eomer or Morm who you'd expect to be wise just messing around and undermining such efforts) the Wolves are in fairly big strength out there. I hope they get some "kill each other" thing toNight. Would save us a lot of trouble.

Speaking of Night-killing: there was one thing I've been wanting to say for ages about Boro. The claim that there is an assassin role makes a lot of sense - BECAUSE!!! - because we have the distinction of "prey" and "predator" on the Dead thread. Because I could easily imagine that an assassin role would be developed by Kuru with the idea that it's fairly strong role, but with the further contribution to the confusion that it might show as "predator", even if it's technically a "good guy".

Well...when I was alive, I did point out that the rules said EVERYONE had to be on their toes for the secret role...it might be 'chaotic neutral' or something.

I've finally had time to read the thread properly this evening, I needed something to take my mind off the horrors of episode 9 (was that what was upsetting people on Sunday evening?) some nice links there Rikae and Phantom

But then there is also this:

I hope you'll understand, though, if I point out that we can't really be sure you're on the side of the village. Just something everyone needs to bear in mind.

So a Seer-Nerwen is not at least openly backing that - which is interesting as she seems to be happy to make hints on other players who might be innocent.

Then again, it might be that the seer gets normal info while I think it's only us who get these predator / pray -options.

Living A: This is the second time we're not getting any info from the dead.

Living B: Yeah, I wish I knew what's going on over there.

Living A: Maybe there's a ton of wolves in there, making it hard.

Living B: But if the wolves managed to tie the vote twice, how can we tell whether the innocents voted as intended on Day 3?

Living A: I don't think we can. We shouldn't take Greenie's innocence for granted. Maybe Legate was the seer after all!

Living B: Then again, with so many wolves over there, it looks like we've almost won the game.

Living A: I think so, too, it's looking pretty good.

Living B: So, are we going to write another one of those lists up toDay?

Living A: Meh, why bother.

mormegil · 06-10-2015, 08:23 PM

Oh and I had puzzled out that Nilp was the other lover. I had hoped to kill Sally tonight too...the foolish other pack *glares* should have killed somebody else last night instead of going for Nerwen. I went for her and got the ranger to protect, knew it would likely happen but had to try, she was to be mine the next night. Foolish move on the other pack. Should have gone for Sally. It still may happen.

Yeah, I figured there was a protection in there. Then last night probably the Ranger protected Sally, thus she dies tonight. We'll see. We're hoping not, but you obviously are rooting for the opposite.

Rikae · 06-10-2015, 08:27 PM

The living must feel like they're being left out of the real game at this point.

Edit: the following will be my post #1316, in case I have to delete it because MORM (grrrrrrr)

Thought I saw you sending ranger-hints.

Nonetheless, I'd say he's on track to win this game now and I say we help him. Better a bear than the filthy village.

Honestly, it was very frustrating knowing that so much info was one click away and how fast the thread was growing...I figured it was pretty fun in here.

Well, Morm, have anything to say for yourself? Want to apologize for your murderous ways?

Indeed, I was quite proud that I spotted Nilp, Form, Mac, Boro and presumably Eomer as ranger.

I actually backed off Form yesterday thinking we'd get more kills if he was alone...guess that didn't work.

So are you actually confessing your pack is dead and done with now?
