We need to empower somebody, though.
Without a system, we can let them know that we trust Boro/Nerwen, at least (so they can assume that Mac and Lottie have outed themselves here). |

Simplest, least ambiguous way is to empower Boro or Nerwen. Boro, I'd say.
The living wolves most likely think Nerwen is the seer, but we don't need to be all like "hey! We ghosts think so too!" |

Agreed about that. Still, it would really be much much better if we could pass on some other info. Sadly I can't think of a way to do it, not even by using Firefoot's list from yesterDay, since if I am not mistaken, I do not appear on it...

Okay. I think Boro is overdoing it. (Maybe because he's the last of his pack left?)
Quote:
Also he tells us about all the hints he has been making but doesn''t mention the FBI-thing tp was so happy to champion as the hint he picked of him being the seer earlier on. Like I said earlier, in this game one doesn't trust anyone, let alone one would trust tp. Boro's explanations of his kills also sound a bit ad hoc to me. I mean he is kind of doing a systematic thing but then again he doesn't stick to it and all that jazz.

I also included Lalaith even if there's reason to believe she was killed by Boro while the ranger blocked the Fang pack tonight. It seems the Grip pack killed Firefoot as per Lottie's instructions - I'm inclined to agree with whoever said Lottie believed her the Seer and tried to paint her as a rival wolf to discourage the Ranger. However, there are a lot of leads back to Boro - both Legate and Firefoot (and Lalaith) suspected him. And as I said yesterday, everybody except Rune out of the first 5 victims suspected Firefoot as well. If neither is a wolf, the remaining few are doing a good job slipping under the radar.

I'd rather empower Nerwen if we have to choose - she probably has the most information in the village and whether or not we do it, the wolves know it too. What are the chances they tried to kill sally instead of her last night? Not big, I'd say. I think she'll be back shortly before the deadline with her list of dreams, after which she'll be happy to join us here.

Actually, what am I thinking? We should scry Lalaith.
If she's truly an ordo, we know there are still two packs about (assuming we're right about Boro's role). That's worth knowing. Also, she's who the living have asked us to scry, and with so many people here, we won't necessarily have the option to tell them about me (or Legate). At least Lalaith's role, they should give us a way to communicate. |

"What am I thinking" referring to how I earlier said that we could just assume she was a wolf and scry someone else.
As for toDay's empower, I'm fine with Nerwen, too. |

At the moment, there's 12 people alive. Let's say Boro is a wolf and his pack is still in full strength (while they know the other pack is down to 1). In this situation, the special role is the biggest risk to them. Boro fake reveals, trying to oust the special. An innocent is lynched. After two (innocent) night kills, there's 3 wolves to 5 villagers (and 1 wolf). Not difficult to sway the vote. The pack wins the next day. Alternatively, Boro fake reveals, trying to oust the special - who kills him next NIGHT. Boro is a "known innocent" in the Dead thread, at least until the special speaks out or we scry him. He can influence our vote and try to ensure his pack's survival from here. Not as effective but not necessarily doomed either. I'm not saying this is what's happening or that it's even likely, just that it's possible and we shouldn't dismiss it, especially as in the "best" case scenario it makes sense as a means to secure victory. In any case, I'm not sure Nerwen has dreamed Boro. WW CIX, otherwise apparently known as the game in which Agan didn't trust a single gifted reveal.

I would say this could be a chance to use our empower to try and kill the target we want dead (i.e. early voters spread and late voters pick the target), BUT that hardly works if Mac and Lottie are growling around at the deadline and lacking balance for them...
We probably do need to bandwagon. Anyway, I'm not even going to try theorizing Nerwen and Boro as liars because I've liked them from the start. (Frankly it's a bit funny how little anything has changed for me this game. I'm so stubborn.)

The Dead thread is making me paranoid. Look at me, happy and trusting Rikae when we lived and what now?

Also, if someone had a "licence to kill"-role, why would s/he protest openly against Boro in the thread and reveal her/himself? Just attack him at Night if s/he (the special role) is on the side of the villagers.

All that said, all the concerns raised here are valid. By the way I am also getting paranoid with all you other talking-a-lot folks, except for basically Aganzir .

With too many unknowns sitting here around the DL I'd suggest a bandwagon as well - and as we have no clue how the voting will go we'd probably need to pick just whom we feel the most trustworthy or least suspicious.
I'm not saying Nerwen couldn't pull out that kind of a master-class tactics, but giving us two wolves is pretty good show none else in the thread can boast of. And so they might even understand we gave it just as a reward for well done wolf-catching.

Ha ha, Kath. Just votes for the person that happens to be listed first on Nerwen's list of the unknown.

At least I would trust Nerwen to do with her vote something reasonable. (And if she is a Wolf, I daresay she deserves it...) It might also be a point to make that we are not totally certain about Boro, as opposed to her (although I am not entirely sure if that is really the point we want to make... but it's not as conclusive point, anyway). Are there any other good options? Can't think of any.

If there is no clear-cut situation where both the village votes more or less unanimously and there is a clearly established procedure what our vote means, then I say we just try to do what little we can. If there were already a pack of votes we could vote for someone who voted to lynch someone we especially suspect, but as even that is not the case I'm afraid we just have to give our vote as some kind of vote of confidence (or then not vote at all) as it looks like most of us will be having little to say as to who is lynched because we're fast alsleep (and too many wolves, 2-4, lurk there around the DL).
When I look at the list of names in the Living Thread I can't quite come up with anyone else than Nerwen as one we could vote for. I'm open to well argued ideas though. For a while (trying to go to sleep in some more decentish time finally tonight).

I basically second this. If there is no brilliant revelation or amazing list coming up at the Living thread in some minutes, then I think I will really also just vote for Nerwen. It would have made perhaps even more sense not to vote at all, but exactly, if we don't vote, Wolves could just wreak havoc.

I think I'll vote for Nerwen. (Also Greenie will probably get on here and vote in a little while, unless she forgets and goes to sleep instead.)
Sally is another option, being pretty much a known innocent, but I think voting Nerwen is so clear-cut that even if the village starts making a communication plan an hour before the deadline, they'll realise we weren't exactly conveying information with her empowerment.

Eomer is still talking about a plan but not doing anything to make it happen. Just thoughtless (he shouldn't be, being a live European ) or actually evil?

It seems Eomer is just on his way trying to formulate first ideas towards possibly planning an initial sugestion as to whehter someone might build up scheme or something...
I'm afraid it's coming a bit late as I'm quite ready to turn to bed pretty soon. EDIT: X'd with clearly the same notion...

Great, so just now Eomer started to talk about some possibilities to get the info. But,
a) Sompeetalay. b) Even if they pick us some nice players to empower, we can't guarantee we'll want to mess with the vote. c) They can still spend like three hours debating it, and I guess many of us would like to go to sleep, like, now. EDIT: obviously "triple X"

Again, Nilp was among the first to start talking about a communication plan. However, all he gave was an idea - nothing about the details of carrying it out. It was similar yesterday and it took Firefoot to get it going (why are you dead dear?). I'm wondering if he's trying to appear helpful without committing, or if taking control and making decisions just doesn't come naturally to him.

Is anyone else likely to be around at DL, besides tp, Mac, Lottie & I? Firefoot?
Would it be reasonable to split the vote between two acceptable choices, in case someone posts a list that would make it bad for us to pick one of them? I don't want to risk a tied vote in the end, or letting the wolves choose the direction of the vote, but if we have enough innocents around at DL it could be safe. If it's those people I listed, though, we've got two wolves, two Nerwen-claimed innocents, and me. I like those numbers but you probably don't. |

Of course, I would always like those numbers, whatever I am.
Never mind anyway, it looks like they're about to post a list. Although I don't know how they plan on giving two options for each - they don't have enough people. |

I was going to point out.
Still, it's 1 am and I doubt I'll stick around long enough to see said list.

I would especially be perfect if some WW makes the list.

And I agree that just happily chatting about "we should make a list" makes the posters look helpful, while they actually aren't. (If you ask me, Eomer looked horribly suspicious to me already yesterDay. Or was it even before that? Certainly very shortly after I died.)
I'll give it, what, fifteen minutes and then, Nerwen it is.

Agan being paranoid #537
Do you think Boro could be the seer and Nerwen the special role, and by whatever power invested in her, they've done a clever role swap? That would explain why she's not clear about the dreams and doesn't mind not being protected while Boro made a fake-looking reveal that strongly discouraged the wolves to try and attack him.
