Boots NIGHT Six

The ruthless efficiency of the Resident Machine was replaced this DAY with a more easy going consensus that they had a lack of consensus about what was happening in the world of the Living.

Several of the residents decided that it would be best to just enjoy the food and not worry too much about it this DAY.

Others disagreed and thought that since they had a vote they should use it.

Who knows, it might really make a difference toDAY.

As fate would have it...it did.

No new friend for you toDAY.

Now you must decide on a NIGHTly activity.

I suggest figuring out what's going on.

Almost all the pieces are completely out in the open now...just a bit smudged so you can't tell what they are.

Still, I guess it's better there was no lynch than that an innocent Eonwe was lynched? Maybe? Either way, I'm super unimpressed with the probable innocents who let that happen - I'm looking at Sally and Brinn, who should have known better than to let it get that close to a tie. And also who didn't pick up on the very obvious wolf pack behavior by Legate, Lal, and Eomer. That should have been an easy lynch, and they royally messed it up.

I'm a bit worried it wasn't that simple...

Truly, you could read Legate and Lalaith being somewhat annoyed hearing the gifteds might be given knowledge on other innocents' roles. But looking at it from another angle it might also be read as last minute stress when they were afraid a baddie was pulling a major trick on them and they felt powerless against it.

I mean I don't know. I'm kind of drawn to the first interpretation (aka. Lalaith & Legate could be wolves - Lal from the beginning, Leg from N3 could fit). But think also of the possibility Nerwen is a wolf - they knew that if an innocent was lynched they'd only need to manage a conversion or a kill the next Night (so only one of their two actions would be enough) to win. And I certainly wouldn't put it past Nerwen to be able and willing to pull that kind of daring from her arsenal.

The good thing is, there are clearly two parties forming there. So we just need to pick up the right one to back it toMorrow (given there is a toMorrow) - and there are all the odds the Night's actions could give us a clue on that.

Oh, and still on a totally different issue.

Now that we have no fresh lynchee, should we check someone - and who? Is there any reason why a certain Night's action would be more interesting to know more about than some other's? Is there actually anything we can learn from the Night-kills, or are we all Night-killed plain ordos by definition (as goodies we wouldn't want to hide any role given to us from each other here, I presume)?

Well Kuru has cleared up my mystery we won't know if you are a visitor til it happens. A hunter kill would require 2 carcases ao unless i am being terminally thick as usual we don't have one among us. Wolf on wolf nightkill seems unlikely. But may as well confirm one night kill. I would rather it not me , not because I am scared just won't learn anything.

I am going to read through with my vote liat and see if it confirma my ideaa and prejudices!

Ugh. Ugh.

I am so confused. Will be back later, but I really don't know who's who in the living thread. Also I don't know what the good wizard is playing at.

Yes we should confirm someone's role. If Morsul was something weird I think we'd know by now. I know I was an ordo. So I'd go for either Mith or Nogrod. Maybe check which one has a weirder narration? Also Nogrod, unlike Mith, hasn't explicitly stated he was an ordo, or then I missed it.

The one thing I could think of to explain Sally and Brinn's votes is maybe the GW tried to intervene on a Gifted Legate's behalf, but I think Legate would have just revealed as Gifted if that were the case.

Brinniel was defending Sally over Shasta as submarine saying she posted more content. Hmm Edit No actually she said the reverse. Well that is another theory scuppered
