Well that went rather well, didn't it? Completely fortuitous of course. I had no idea about Mith's vote when I cast mine and fully expected at least one of the other three votes to come in before the deadline.

I might come under some pressure for having caused the tie, but Mith's in the same boat, and I can quite genunely disavow any intention to create a tie.

So, who to kill?

It doesn't look like the Seer had a dream before the game begun, although we can't be sure. Assuming not, however, it will be difficult to find any Seer clues in the Day 1 proceedings. I certainly have no idea.

My first instinct is to do away with the phantom, as he is such a danger. But he would expect me to go for him, so leaving him be might help get him on my side. If he is the Seer, he is quite likely to dream of me, but that would at least help us spot him. In any event, I would prefer to leave him alive for now. If he's not the Seer, I think that I can probably build up a rapport with him, which would work greatly in out favour.

Mith's a possibility, as she has a knack of spotting a Wolfish Sauce, but I think that I would be able to tell if she was the Seer. Lal's also a possibility, but I haven't played with her before, so would prefer to keep her alive.

Gil and Shasta we should leave, unless they exhibit Seer tendencies, as they are distinct lynch possibilities for the erratic behaviour and quietness. No point in killing Holby, as she is away for Day 2.

Which I think leaves Brinniel, who I think is a distinct possibility for our kill. She didn't say a lot, voted Menel, and she could even be the Seer. She would be my pick, but would like to hear your thoughts.

With best wishes from your partner in crime.

So, Holby's Day 2 absence put her out of the running for the Night 1 kill and I must admit that I saw nothing Seerish in her Day 1 contributions. It seems that I was wrong and that she had already had a dream, and dreamed of me, before the game started. She did well not to give it away, as we would probably have gone for her on Night 1 had there been any indication that she thought me a Wolf. Her first post, naming all three Wolves, I took to be mere early game banter, and so didn't really think much more of it until I tried to use it on Day 3.

If nothing else strikes me in the time from the sending of this message to the near-end of the Night, I'll surely be on-board for killing Brinniel tonight.

Any thoughts on strategy? Given what happened on Day 1, I suggest simply playing it by ear again. I accused you both early on yesterDay with a view to distancing us. I might continue toMorrow if the opportunity presents itself and it doesn't look like either of you are in danger of being lynched. Of course, if either of you are in serious danger of being lynched I won't hesitate to vote for you. [Wink]

Then again, you should do the same if the roles are reversed.

Other than that, I guess it's just a matter of holding our collective nerve and keeping an eye out for the Seer. I'm going to try to get the phantom on side. Gil and Shasta are probably our best bets for lynch victims, though we shouldn't be too obvious about it. I might have a pop at Lal too, given her suggestion that, had she voted, she wouldn't have broken the tie.

On another subject, I wonder which of us is which in the narratives. I suspect that Kath was the one who claimed the prophetic dream, while CoD and I did away with Legate and Menel. [Big Grin]

Adios amigos.

Well, I was wrong about the narrative. Seemingly, it was me who claimed to have the prophetic dream. I loved that final narrative, by the way, Fea.

Well, that's it for Night 1 plotting. Brinniel was chosen as she left little trail, and also on the off-chance that she might have been the Seer. I, for one, could see no clear clues as to the Seer's identity on Day 1.

Oh and, as I said, that triple tie was sheer luck. But it couldn't have gone better, had I tried.
