I know you like to poke for reactions (much like our deceased Hui), put something out to see who latches on to it, and I'm fine with that on D1, but when it's two Days later and half the village seems to think I'm the cobbler for noticing one I get a bit touchy about being misrepresented. I don't know if it makes you a wolf, but if doesn't, what DOES it make you? You tell me.

Someone who would like some leads before the end of the day.

I've got to go now. I would have liked to look at Greenie in more detail but I'm loathe to poke at someone who I know can't really be around today.

So, given the Form-alysis made me not very happy with him:
++FORM

Nilp, I'm going with believing you, but I would like to ask why Legate is your planned vote? Sorry if you've already answered and I missed it.

Nog's Lottie question (if voting for Legate was what got her mistaken for a Seer) and from here:

Legate - My other top suspect. Another idea I'll claim to have come up with independently, even if many others have posted about it: this post read like someone rehearsing an alibi in front of a mirror. Sorry for that analogy, but that's how I felt.

My reading of DAY 1 (still at page 4) has added nothing significant to my notes so far.

But unless the seer dreamed of a wolf, how would they know for sure if someone is voting correctly? Or what if no one votes for a wolf the seer dreamt of?

Maybe if the seer is killed the Dead Thread empowers a known innocent?

The way I'm thinking, we can ask, if X is an innocent, empower Y. Or if M is a wolf, empower N.

++Form

And incidentally, of those I listed as packmate-ish, I think that knowing Pitch's role would give us the most leads.

Correctly, as in voting for a wolf ideally, but at least not voting for a (dead thread known) innocent.

A quick tally

Kath > Form
Greenie > Legate

1 hour to go.

Edit: Crossed with Greenie.

[Formendacil]

I am caught up and ought to be posting, but I'll admit to being someqhat afraid to open my mouth, because nothing comes out but shoes and howls, it seems. Great cover if I play again soon enough and as a Wolf, but in the here-and-this thread, that's not so helpful. While I actually relish the idea of participating in a Dead Thread for what would effectively be the first time, I'd rather WIN and the village is more likely to do that if I'm not the fifth Ordo in a row to die.

I'm lukewarm on Nilp voting for Legate, but I'm willimg to fall in line and vote for a possible-Known Innocent's plan than keep stumbling around in the dark. And Legate WAS suspicious to Nog, for whatever that's worth.

Myself, I'd still like to see Kath or Pitch on the ballot, and there is a general swirl of talk about both of them, but I don't think the village has any sort of consensus building other than "Form looks bad."

++ Legate

Again somewhat meta, but Kath's confusion about the BH rules is enough to give me vague second thoughts about her. Meanwhile, I'm still suspicious of Legate for a) the Lottie kill, b) his weird reaction to the Lottie kill that I agree looks rehearsed, c) his role in the Nog lynch, d) woefulness about late voting without effort to actually change it that essentially amounts to less accountability for votes, and e) general feeling of Mr Agreeableness (sorry Pitch, I know it's a trigger word ) or something not quite right - I recall innocent Legate being bigger on grand theories and generally giving more of an active vibe rather than mournful witness of unfolding last-minute chaos.
