[Caranlondien]

Yeah, at the end of Day Four I completely messed up, I think drawing some of the suspicion that would be my undoing. And that list of players there in my first PM is very helpful, isn't it?

I had completely forgotten our discussion on this Night... If only we had killed Naria! But neither of us remotely suspected her as the Shaman at this point, and as she was drawing suspicion, she seemed like a bad choice. Zali, who were you protecting Night Four?

Also, I have to say that at this point, despite certain mistakes we made, Roa's calmness is what got us as far as we went. I was rather jumpy (i.e., pacing around my room wringing my hands... okay, maybe not quite that bad)

Sleepy and Nogrod, you had me totally confused!

I also hope that my continuing to mention you didn't add to Findeasea's reasons for suspecting you; I began to think, as the day wore on, that I seem to be acquiring more suspicion than you, and it's quite likely if one of us dies, it will be me. I thought that if I die, my keeping you under some suspicion when I could have just dropped it would give you some credit.

On the plus side, at least two innocents died today.

As for Zali, should we kill her, since the Shaman is still around?

Speaking of the Shaman, what is Sleepy up to? Is he trying to make us think he's the Shaman? Or is he reallly the Shaman, and not being so subtle?

Another thought: might Nogrod be the Shaman, and Sleepy was his first dream? He may have just decided to reveal it today, pretending it was last Night's dream.

Nogrod: ? (Shaman?)
Grendelien: ?
Findëasëa: ?
Celuien: ?

Sleepy: ? (Shaman?)

I'm fairly positive that sleepy isn't a gifted- if he was he would've known better than to try and get killed on Day 1. I actually belive Sleepy was right when he mentioned Celuien, but I'm betting Zali will protect her tonight. Celuien was the only one who mentioned suspicion of Jenny on Day 1, which would've led to a dream on Night 2. So the question is, do we call Sleepy's bluff? It's possible that Nogrod is the seer, but I don't think he's that straight forward. Not only that, but someone would have had a dream last night, and no one contradicted him, not to mention he was very suspicios of Sleepy on Day 1.

Naria, Diamond, and Findeasea are all unsuspected kills. I'm going to review Day 1, and look for someone who was protecting someone else.

Plus, if the Shaman decides to dream about Zali, they'll have to waste a dream on her (rather than on one of us).

Good point about Sleepy's suicidal tendencies on Day 1. As for Celuien, she has certainly been thoughtful, and perhaps lighter with the jokes than she was in the last game I played in.

Hmm...

Killing Naria could help us get Grendelien lynched eventually, especially with Nogrod's suspicions of her.

Have a nice day!

If we both manage to survive the coming day, it will be 2-6, and then the night's kill will bring us 2-5, I think that would be a good time for me to come out and say I am the true ranger, and Zali's been lying to us. If they take the bait it wil be 2-4, and then 2-3. I'll be a unanimous lynch the following day, which will make it 1-3, then 1-2, the following day. At this point it will be up to you to look innocent enough and one other person look guilty enough.

This, I think is the best case sscenario. Waiting too long on the Zali plan might cause it to backfire on us. What do you think?

Okay...yes. Although depending on who's under more suspicion by then, you might be the one left. The longer the Shaman stays around, the more dangerous this is... but that's obvious.

The way things are looking, I wouldn't be surprised if Naria or Grendelien were lynched toMorrow. Although I'm sure Findeasea will make a case explaining her vote for you - how should I react? I'm completely lost on this, as I think that no matter what I do, it'll look suspicious.

Your reaction to Nogrod can just be passed off as indignation at being called a liar. In this village, no one really looks more suspicious than anyone else, so you'll be okay as long as you stay calm. As for what to do if a case comes against me: Don't do anything.

Don't post until a definite mood can be gathered from the crowd. If people are focusing elsewhere, stay with your distrust of me but don't push too hard. If people are definitely looking to lynch me, then vote for me. That's all that can be done. If that happens, I'm fairly sure that you'll be safe for some time. I suggest going ahead and killing Zali then, since people will disregard my suspicions. You're playing beautifully, so don't worry. Just stay calm and thoughtful, and you'll do fine.

I won't be able to post until kind of late tonight (RL maybe 11 or 12 pm) anyway, and when I do, I won't be able to say much of substance. I'll wait 'til morning, and see how the village's mood is. So, good luck toMorrow, and may our village lynch an innocent!
