No, Nogrod. I promise you that voting for Gil alone might feel terribly righteous, but it is an intellectually dead, and fatally easy, approach.

You say yourself that Gil is not behaving properly. As a result, he does not deserve proper attention. The way to solve the problem, and to teach him that his technique does not work, is to lynch him casually, in passing, as if he were not a potential murderer but a petty thief.

Single-lynching Gil would almost certainly delight the heart of the hidden wolf.

Well. The game is to be over tomorrow, now isn't it? Roa will be safe etc... It's just from which side you do look at it.

Not bloodying our hands any more is a case in point.

So is, what you say. Although, I don't know, how casual that last butchering might be, if Gil turned out a wolf?

But it would feel quite bad to just lynch two, by our hope to secure our own personal necks? One of us would die honourably in the hands of a WW if we get it wrong from 1/3! But we would have done it beautifully!

And just for the chance of it, that both Valesse and Jenny might be innocents and played well - or as an recognition of one of them's good game as a wolf (against Gil's bad one)?

Well, I'm not sure, but it would seem right...

Whatever we decide, it should be done soon. We have only half an hour.

Sleepy's texts said that people despised Gil and that Valesse was a strange woman and about Jenny not anything wolvish. But I doubt those texts are good evidence.

The difference between our strategies is that I'm determined that this game be over when the next narration is done. You're ready to face another night. I want to purge the final traitor of her fell spirit as soon as possible.

Her? Yes, that would be ++VALESSE.

There's an element of truth about Jenny and where she attacks, she is consistent with what I've seen of her style in her career so far. When I attacked her for her frustration, I was giving her baptism by fire. After all, I'd said something similar but a moment later.

But Valesse...her very silence, bearing in mind her articulacy, is unnerving.

Enca crossposted with her when they voted-so she did not knowingly jump to join a fellow-wolf's cause. It looked, besides, in that moment as though opinion was against Thinlomien.

She's played cautiously and carefully, she helped set up a bandwagon that might have saved the Ka thereby separating herself cunningly from Enca who indicted the Ka early, she was against the revealing even of the Seer.

This is the way I had to go, in the end. I'm only sorry it's so heavyhanded.

EDIT: Crossposted with another Gil vote...how tedious...

ANOTHER EDIT: Voted Gil by accident, thankfully it doesn't count...

Well. You should have come up with this quite compact accusation a bit earlier... I also have noted the discrepancy between silence / baseless jumping and very articulate argumentation - and it is freaky! But then again, I think she was against this all-out-revelation - albeit she did not mention the seer though... could be suspicious that too?

I could be persuaded to vote for her someday, but that day is not now. Tomorrow, Elu willing, I'll do it happily if Roa has the last word on her. She's played well anyhow, compared to Gil, and in that case earns this last day of life she will have (after the game ends, we probably just kind of vanish in to the air...).

Ang, what was it about leaving rhymes for minstrels? ...

Well Ang and others.

I'll be watching over Roa this night.

(Hint for the wolf...)
