I'm happy with empowering Shasta, assuming he actually does vote for Legate. I'm heading home from work, but I'll be back before (and at) DL, so I'm going to hold off on voting for him until I get back, in case he decides to switch it up while I'm away.

To make it easy on Kuru, we've been trying to not make our deal mesh too closely with the Living action. By 30 minutes or so til DL should be ok.

I'm too tired and barely staying awake. Y'all make some good points.

Thinlómien · 07-17-2017, 04:32 PM

Still in the middle of thinking about the empowerment vote (and yes I wanted to be off to bed half an hour ago but as Nog says we were watching Game of Thrones at his place and we kinda got stuck there

) and in the middle of reading the game thread, but feeling better about Lalaith and especially Eomer. Judging just by who the EW "should" have picked I'd look really long and hard at Lalaith, Nerwen and Brinniel, maybe Eomer too. Then again, the GW also gets to pick people...

Thinlómien · 07-17-2017, 04:35 PM

Also Nogrod seems more innocent to me now (and Brinniel less so).

I don't really suspect either Nogrod or Legate so it kinda sucks those are probably our empowerment options...

Thinlómien · 07-17-2017, 04:44 PM

I don't see a problem with empowering Sally. Mathematically we're as likely to accidentally cause a tie regardless of when the empowered person votes, and I would consider it a bonus to empower someone who might not vote at all, sice it still communicates our message but doesn't increase the risk of causing a tie as much.

Obviously someone who actually suspects Nogrod or Legate might see the situation differently. I'm not sure they're innocent or anything but I'm currenty much more worried about Nerwen and Brinniel, and possibly Lalaith.

But yeah maybe empower Shasta (or Boro) rather than Nerwen. We don't trust her and Legate is a bit fishier in my book than Nogrod.

I have hard time seeing the innocents winnng this game.

I guess that it's good that I'm dead so I don't have to feel guilty about having such a loser attitude.

Important question: Kuru, if the dead players' empowerment vote ends in a tie, does no one get empowered or what happens?

edit: xed with Zil

Morsul the Dark · 07-17-2017, 04:50 PM

A tie would actually be sort of beneficial if the alternative is an innocent....

Kuruharan · 07-17-2017, 04:51 PM

Nothing happens in case of a tie in either thread.

Personally, I don't at all mind empowering one who isn't likely to affect the lynch, if only because I feel rather in the dark about the pack.

Brinn just hasn't been pinging my radar, but there's no reason whatever that I'm not completely fooled.

I'm fine with Sally, Shasta, or Boro.

Yeah, over here the pressure's off, but it's still frustrating not to have gotten a baddie (unless by some sorcery you, Mith, or Morsul are).

x/d with Morsul and Kuru

Inziladun · 07-17-2017, 04:35 PM

Hmm. Lal's last actually makes me more wary of her.

What is depressing is that even if Lottie was evil the EW could have made another wolf last night instead.
I feel very worried about our prospects, innocents.

That last bit: totally unnecessary.

x/d with Lommy

Inziladun · 07-17-2017, 04:37 PM

And I've been feeling rather good about Brinn.

Yet another indication that we Demised are nearly as clueless as the Living.

Best bet on whole

Loslote · 07-17-2017, 05:43 PM

So Nog is going after Nerwen, as far as I can remember, out of nowhere, as he is on the chopping block...trying to distance her now that he's at risk of being revealed?

If Nerwen does turn out to be evil, I want flowers on my grave too.

Flowers all around, we dead are great at this.
