Just tell me, Sally and Legate if he's a part of your master plan.

Regardless of his role, he would never be part of any of my master plans.

I'm afraid I appear to not have a corporeal form anymore. Take it up with whoever you last packmate is, I think they stuffed their face.

He's nothing if not consistent.

Oh those are fantastic quotes. All 3 ghosts were well selected and get the "players of the game" for me...We'd be stumbling around in total darkness without you.

It made me laugh, though this once, I do get it. I mean, regardless of his role, he's not going to self-vote, is he? Even so, if I had to guess right now, my money would be on him being our last wolf - not because of that vote, but because of the posts that accompanied it. Then again, I don't know if there's a non-fishy way of saying "I'm innocent, this other person is a wolf trying to lead you astray, don't vote for me" - we'll see how guilty Lommy looks when she turns up and says the exact same thing

Just to state the obvious, Morsul and Lommy will have to vote for each other toDay, which leaves it down to Pitch, Soriman and us. If Pitch and Soriman vote for the same person, our vote doesn't matter. If they vote for different people (or if Soriman doesn't show), we decide the lynch.

Ghosts have certainly been absolutely amazing with all the quotes. What I said on the Living thread was genuine - it literally filled me with joy to see and read that when they appeared. But I was also honest when I said that I suck at deciphering them when it was about something more vague.

My absolutely favourite was Hui's use of the word "pitch" (well, that and the "Saruman, Saruman!" parts).

So did Pitch not have time to read/process LostLottie's "Pitch is innocent [= there are only two options]" posting, or is his suspicion of Morsul for voting quickly an attempt to draw a potential Lommywolf into unreasonable agreement with him?

Yes I think I only got Form's first one because of the phrases that made it into a riddle, once he had to use full sentences I was lost on the second one. Now reading the thread and seeing the mention of gardener (Lottie) and "lots or none at all" it was a very clever quote to say Lottie was the only gifted among Morsul, sally, Pitch or myself.

And sorry for the headaches Greenie and Huey! I believed Pitch was the seer for Day 1 and 2, and on Day 3 I realized that didn't make sense, and I took Kath's hilarious assessment of what I was doing on Day 2 as she was the seer and therefor I needed to relax. So, I was hoping to bait sally or Pitch into a fake-Seer reveal, which then I would jump on. I wouldn't have done an ordo-seer claim I'm not that crazy when I don't know anything. Unfortunately, sally just had to do it when I was very busy that day and Kath had to come out forcefully to secure sally's lynch. Perhaps if I was there to vote for sally almost immediately it would have ended differently. Evil evil sally (glad your surgery went well! <3)

Yes, I was very proud of our sister Wolfcake there. She certainly made sure to go with a blast!

This is pure speculation, but I have to say that so far Lommy's reaction to the situation looks more convincingly innocent than Morsul's. He is basically trying to list all the reasons why his behaviour looks innocent (which an actual innocent has no cause to think about in that amount of detail), which is somewhat eyebrow-raising. At the same time though, I'm aware this could just be a question of playing style and nothing to do with actual innocence or guilt. It's probably a decade since I last played with Morsul () so I don't really remember if he does this when he's innocent too!

Anyway, unless things look significantly clearer in a few hours, it might be safest if I abstain from voting again. I don't want to risk an early, uninformed vote for the wrong person at this stage. There should still be plenty of us nice dead people to counteract the two
