Fully expecting another 4 page explosion in 2 hours, but it has been quite a diplomatic village so far...all the business of reasoning and talking peacefully with murderers. :rolleyes: :p

Loslote 06-07-2020 12:55 PM

What is BG doing???? Are they speculating about who the Gifteds might be???????

Loslote 06-07-2020 12:56 PM

BG is either the Cobbler or REALLY misstepping here

:eek::eek::eek:

BG has said that they've played before, so they must know how bad an idea that is. I can't see innocence there at all.

Nog's 'people suspecting me are out to ruin my game' doesn't ring true to me. I don't understand why Sally has gone with 'Nog doesn't express frustration, so him doing so must be real' ; does she think he couldn't fake it, or that he wouldn't?

Rikae’s latest looks good to me; no qualms about Mediumming them.

Greenie just voted for Kath, might be a good choice of Medium. I think we can wait to see where Rikae votes though.

Concur on both counts. Also, There's no point Mediumming a Kath vote if everyone winds up voting her anyway.

Huinesoron 06-07-2020 02:04 PM

Boro, if you're around: am I right in thinking the Living will have no way of knowing whether we chose the Medium before or after they voted?

True. The deadline is 4pm my time, I can stick around until then no problem. I feel like we can decide early if you need to go to bed, though, we have a good enough option already that that wouldn't be an issue.

I've still got an hour or so; we'll see what happens, but I'm happy to Medium Greenie.

Back on topic, our prospective wolves all seem to be suspecting one another. That's kind of ominous. I've looked back through Kath today (well, page 7), and I still think she's dodgy: she's clearly decided to pursue Nog, and is latching onto the BG/spot-the-gifted thing as a target of opportunity. Might suggest BG is more likely to be innocent, but again, how?

BG might just be making some very poor decisions. I actually think they're more likely to be innocent, since I think Pitch or Form are probably the cobbler. :o

Boromir88 06-07-2020 02:57 PM

You know what...there has been remarkably a lot more talk about either

A. Who's a gifted
or
B. Who's a cobbler

Then who are actual wolves. *headdesk* Gotta love how these games play out sometimes. :cool: :rolleyes:

In Her name.

Speaking of Brinn, though, their latest post is pure filler. "Why are we discussing Gifteds?" has been said by half a dozen people at this point.

As for Mac on Shasta in #282: I think those are the same, and the first one killed me!

I think she was the first one to suggest it might be a NW tactic, though.

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:05 PM

Less than an hour to go and no votes.....you're making our job hard, guys!

Boromir88 06-07-2020 03:14 PM

I just decided to write this into today's narration:

Tensions and suspense filled as they all stared at each other for several minutes. Even the dead were scratching their heads about what they were supposed to do with the whole town engaged in a staring contest.
:rolleyes:

Oi they need a wolfy-Boro to stir the pot.

I think the NW is throwing them off. They've gotten stuck on the idea of the NW as a pseudo-Cobbler, and the Cobbler as a pseudo-Tanner, so now anyone acting weird is clearly deliberately trying to get killed. Cobbler55's spectacular exit last game is probably partly responsible here. :)

Maybe? I'd have to check.

Still here, still awake.

Just go in and cast a vote for Brinn on our behalf, that'll mix things up. :D

That's what I was seeing! Nog is sounding like me from last game (mostly in the Cutie-bar or in my own notes) - deeply frustrated that people are suspecting him over things he meant seriously. This makes me feel very good about Lommy.

It seems as if they'll have a hard enough time deciding what to do.

Huinesoron 06-07-2020 03:25 PM

Second vote, BG on Form, explicitly a repeat of yesterDay. Surely (surely!) a wolf would be able to come up with some justification.

And Kath has just tried to walk back her suspicion of Nog. Worth flagging for analysis once one of them is hopefully dead. :)

hS

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:32 PM

Interesting that Form voted for Kath......

Worrying. With Kath spending so much time on Nog, and now this, she has strong ties to both our other top suspects. That seems incautious for a wolf; if she's innocent, then that problem goes away.

But I still don't trust her. :-/

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:35 PM

Really liking what Lommy is saying.

Yeah. It could be three wolves who got unluckily suspected trying to go for the wolf-on-wolf. It could be one or two wolves trying to get one or two innocents tangled up with them. Or it could be three innocents and we're just barking up the wrong tree, in the wrong forest, on the wrong side of the country. :o

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:38 PM

Mac and Nilp voted for each other. I wouldn't mind either of them joining us tbh.

And in the same minute; what is going on?

Pitch has the same worries as you about Form voting Kath; makes me less comfortable about Mediumming Greenie. We could really use more votes...!

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:46 PM

Lommy voted Form, I'd be okay with Mediuming that. I was serious about the Brinn suggestion. :D

Huinesoron 06-07-2020 03:48 PM

Lommy has voted Form, and, and...

Look, I'm just going to leave this here:

++Brinniel

If you disagree, I'll pop back in 5 minutes or so and can change to your choice (Lommy?).

hS

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:51 PM

Happy with Brinn as Medium. I'll hold off in case she doesn't vote the way she said she was planning to.

Huinesoron 06-07-2020 03:53 PM

Rikae and Legate on Nog, Kath on... Nilp? Nothing from Brinn.

hS

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:54 PM

Vote's swinging Nog's way. I'm fine with either Form or Nog, I think Brinn will vote Nog. I'm comfortable with Mediuming a Nog vote.

Makes me feel better about Kath.

Huinesoron 06-07-2020 03:55 PM

Ditto.

VOTE, BRINN!

hS

Loslote 06-07-2020 03:56 PM

Brinn voted Nog. Happy with that? I'll vote her in a second.

Huinesoron 06-07-2020 03:56 PM

Brinn says Nog.

hS

Huinesoron 06-07-2020 03:57 PM

Perfectly happy. :)
