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

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:

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.

I hope she is doing that to scare the wolves away and not to gloat...

Second thought: that would put it into a totally new perspective the post where she told Boro she trusts him to have the special role...


EDIT: aka. the exact same post, I see now...

Whichever the case, I think it is slowly time for me to vote and leave this thread for now (which I will this time really do in a matter of minutes. Dozens of minutes at most anyway ). So, Nilp, hope your darling stayed safe and sound during this Night, others, let's hope we have preferably two Wolfsies here in the morning (not that I'd enjoy the presence of two more trolls, but it at least means they can't terrorize the Living), and let's hope the Living don't keep us awake one more night, although I am fairly worried it might be just the case.

I see what you did there, Kuru.
