I'm sorry Eomer, I think I was making up random bits of history to try and explain to myself why I feel so suspicious of you. However, mormegil's last post has given me pause for thought. He says that had he not voted already he would now vote for wilwa, unless someone could vouch for her innocence. Now this seems to me rather odd as it is a rather thinly veiled request for the Seer to announce themselves and their dreams. At the moment I would guess that the Seer does not know who the wolves are or they would have revealed themselves for the good of the village (or at least I hope they would). Now since morm has already voted and cannot change his vote, and no one else seems the slightest bit suspicious of wilwa, this to me is an odd request.

My vote toDay goes to
++Orominuialwen

but I think mormegil should be looked at more closely over the course of the day.

Well I'm going on vacation with my family later today so I don't think I'll get the chance to vote later.

I will be missing from the entire Day 6 and the early part of Day 7. Try not to miss me to much.

A couple of things Kath in my defense.

I have been suspicious of Wilwarin in the past but essentially was told that she might be a shirriff. I showed decent, not great, but decent evidence that there's a chance she could be the wolf. I was hoping that, if she were the shirriff, somebody such as her fellow shirriff would vouch for her innocence but not her identity. Let's face it the shirriff's are no good to us until one is dead and we know who the other is. At least we would have one known innocent.

Second, I have not been so veiled in my hope that the seer would reveal him/herself. I have been worried about their safety and hate to think what it would mean if they have not told us much of anything and they die. 5 nights of dreams would potentially go wasted. The problem the seer has is if they are subtle in attempts the wolves have the easiest time picking it out and if he/she announces herself we all pick her out but he/she will be dead tomorrow. No Kath I'm an idiot and can't seem to nail a wolf but I'm no wolf myself. Although if I were at least I'd be able to kill some albeit without my axe but that's about rusted anyway

So you think the Seer should reveal him/herself? I could only possibly maybe possibly sort-of go along with this if he/she knows one wolf for definite.

But then, I'm pretty sure I know who the Seer is anyway, so I'm not too bothered.

The problem with this is that they can't vouch for eachother's innocence beyond a certain point. We all know they can't actually reveal themselves, but I don't think they're allowed to say so much that they basically reveal themselves either.

Decided in each other's innocence, eh?
'Twould be a bungling pair of wolves indeed to do that, & a far too daring pair that would try to bluff by doing that.

You know, I just thought of something. There is an extremely off chance that Oromin is a sherrif. I know that sounds wierd, but think about it. There's a good chance that the wolves know who the sherrifs are. If that is the case then they wouldn't kill them at night & they wouldn't allow attention to be centered on them during the day - once one sherrif is dead the other could really hurt them. This could get very irritating for a pair of sherrifs that are just itching to reveal themselves; so if I was the other sherrif & I knew that Oromin would most likely have to back out later anyway...I would encourage her to get herself lynched so that I could reveal myself.

Admittedly, that is a stretch, but if it is true than we should either lynch Oro now, knowing that it would actually help us; or keep her around as long as possible, knowing that she's innocent. But like I said, that's a pretty big stretch.

I still think Lhuna is more likely to be the wolf & Oro an ignorable cobbler; but I can see it won't make much of a difference who I vote for. Should I then vote bandwagon on Oro, knowing that she is most likely a cobbler or a wolf (with the off chance of her being a sherrif, I suppose), but finding it more likely that she's a cobbler who could be ignored instead of lynched? I have no idea right now...though I suppose if she is a wolf I will be suspected for 'defending' her with that bit.

I'd better smoke a bit to clear my head & blacken my lungs.

I wholly agree and have said something very similar before. I'm just very worried that they may die soon. The choice tonight for the wolves will be out of 5 or 6 depending on who we kill today.
