EDIT: Sorry, didn't make any intro here on what this is all about... Sorry. So this is on Kuru's (non)answer just a few more lines...



The "the Party has not won" made me think first that there was some major positive thing for the village going on - but then after some thought realized that there aren't that many plausible chances for that to be true.

But what looks like it is said there is, that it might have been possible that we had no Wolf on D1 - which would kind of negate all my work on the voting on D1.

Emphasizing the order in which things take place to make events happen looks quite like he is saying that like conjuring up a wolf happens first and then there is the act that the creatures do.

Or it could be read the other way - if these summonings come the last.

Or is he just toying with us and laughing to his dwarven beard whilst seeing us speculating over sich issues?

I think you're obsessing too much over this. It could mean anything.

Edit: x'd since Nog.

I don't see the argument that Eönwe has "changed" from D1.

But I do suspect him for a couple of reasons.

His actions late on D1 - he was strongly for no-lynch and was present at least ten minutes before the DL but stood back and just watched things roll the last ten minutes when most of the votes came like in reality he couldn't care less. Had he the best of the village in mind and a conviction that a no lynch is the best option he would have said something - or tried to use hiss own vote reach a draw, or anything? It looks fake then.

He has quite consistently tried to look helpful ironing out a rigid plan to negate the possibility of the Dead Thread's influence on the game - well okay, that was opiniated - but the fact that he has been busy to look very helpful while not committing to any suspicions or real help (finding the baddies and as such creating people who might feel bad about you and might vote for you) looks a bit suspicious.

I am still pondering about the Dead Thread as I have no familiarity with it from previous games (at least that I can recall). I do agree this is a discussion that should be saved for toMorrow as there is less than thirty minutes before deadline. It does make me wonder if a baddie would attempt to focus on discussing the Dead Thread toDay as a way to distract the village.

If a wolf was turned last Night, I agree that Eonwe would've been a good pick. Boro might've been another pick if the baddies thought his attempt to self-sacrifice made him look innocent. But I don't think these are valid reasons alone to vote for someone and neither look suspicious enough to me right now to vote for one.

The escalation between Nerwen and Inzil is interesting. Maybe it is just an innocent-on-innocent spat, but I find it concerning. More seem to find Inzil's reaction worrisome, but I'm more worried about Nerwen. I didn't really see his comment as a slip-up and she seems to be pulling this idea out of hat and letting the rest of the village run with it.

As for yesterDay's votes, I think it's likely that a baddie is hiding among the no-lynch advocates. Lottie is one that still stands out to me from that and there are others to look at too, though I haven't had the time to do so.

EDIT: X-ed with Nogrod

Nerwen would be my vote preference toDay, but I don't want to spread the votes too thin..

There is already a vote for Nerwen.

I'm afraid, as to my vote, I'm going to have to still be a wild card again today.

Here we go with another exciting flurry of votes.

Well, it looks like it's going to be another stressful last-minute voting period.

I did make the mistake of posting too much last minute yesterDay which resulted in me x-ing with too many other votes. So I will avoid making that mistake again.
