Here's a bet: we will get some kind of claim. They will get lynched anyways. There will be a vote for another throwaway but suspicious candidate when the majority have already voted.Lommy will still be alive toMorrow. So will Boro.

Prove me wrong!

Although that would mean an innocent Lottie, and if she's innocent she needs to stop looking so evil.

To be fair, nobody seems to have paid attention to what *I* intended to be my "Seer-hint" (or rather a Seer-probe), but it isn't like anybody besides Lommy (and perhaps the WWs at Night) seems to have analysed my posts. To be fair I'm glad they didn't, it would be a waste overall. But Lommy overlooked some stuff and if it was correct, I understand why the WWs wouldn't bring it up. (I will just leave this here open-ended so that our resident baddies have something to wonder about.)

People holding on to votes - I hope they realize it's not just who gets the most votes, but who gets the most votes *first*.

Both people who have voted Lhuna so far have done so solely on the basis that they trust the Cuties. It's rather adorable.

How thrilling if the InnoCuties turn out to be wrong.

I am surprised how easily the living are swayed. I was not super optimistic about our influence on them.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Also, if we get it wrong, which is absolutely possible, if not likely, regardless of what these two taunting pain-in-the-necks in this thread may or may not imply, I worry slightly that our influence will diminish toMorrow.

10 posts per Day, max 280 characters each, each post can contain a single quote of no more than one sentence (not counted in length limit). Vote can be a separate post, not one of the 10, but most only contain your ++vote.

The setting: a Faithful hideout on Numenor during the height of the Dark Times. Everyone has to be quiet in case Sauron's priests hear.

hS, game theorist? Maybe not.

Why not?

There has been a similar setting, but you could enhance it. That might be fun.

The original setting was my very first game, modded by Mac, but it was unusually the other way around: the "Wolves" were the good guys. It was "The Isle of the Were-Faithful". The former queen Tar-Míriel was the Cobbler.

Alternative setting: you are the Druedain during the Great War, living on different hills and communicating with drums using Morse code. While Morse code can be used to communicate even quicker than typing, it has the benefit of people having to take turns to speak rather than massive cross-post rambles.

So what's the deal? Are you lovely furries allowed to tell your packmates what's going down in the QT?
Or is what goes in the QT, staying in the QT?

The QT is extremely exclusive. No peeks.

I see that Pitch has passed his 3000th post on this thread. I wish him hearty congratulations on the anniversary, and hope that no one posts such an overwhelming amount that we hit many more of these anniversaries.
