Seem to be... And really. Hang on! I'm turning to sleep any minute now- the decent bedtime is over by hours (as it is coming 3am here...) Happily I just have to go to work at 11 tomorrow...

If we get Spawn as a duck: great!

If she is innocent,
then we have Glirdan (duck/goose) - and have lost either me or Spm, but will have one more dream to go tomorrow! It's all looking good! Seems like we are having another duck in one day-night -shift!

Good night! I'll sleep lightly, and try to be aware of those beasts, maybe I can come up with one of them?

[Valier]

Glirdan you better not be lying!!

++Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant

Jenny and Elu if you do make it on please vote for Spawn so we can see if Glirdan be truthful.Oh and I guess if Elu does not vote he's out...am I right in saying that he did not vote yesterday...

5 pages, guys? Was that really necessary?

Sorry to arrive so late: Got home from work and hubby needed to go shopping and my car needed fixed and all sorts of things happened which kept me away from my computer before reading 5 pages of WD.

I apologize to all those people who've been pumping my ego with all this talk of how much you expect of me. I've been harried and rushed so far this week, and I'm used to much more internet time with which to formulate my thoughts. I'm a quick learner, but a slow thinker.

One comment: I am definitely impressed with the quantity of the posts in this game, but hardly at all with the quality. Really, folks, a lot of the discussions I just read were petty ad-hominem attacks, and we know better. Grow up already.

Nogrod, I haven't been rude to you because you haven't annoyed me. Simple as that. I'd make you feel more at home by arguing away, but I really don't see that there's a point. Besides, Roa's been doing such a good job for me.

Valier, you didn't need to tell me. I definitely trust Glirdy before Mith. He is so much calmer and more sensible, and I have felt Mith to be more than a little off since the beginning of the game. Just because I firmly thought fanged Mith innocent in my first game, doesn't mean my instincts haven't improved. If they hadn't, Cailin and SPM wouldn't be so disappointed in my harried posts so far. Honestly, Mith as Goose explains much of the squabbling and bickering that has so frustrated me reading through today's post...she's really been at the thick of everything, baiting whomever she can into taking offense.

SO: To get it over with:

++Dancing Duck of Ungoliant (Uh-oh...Now my brain has called up the song "Disco Duck". She's got to be evil if she's got that stuck in my head.)

Now: As to other suspicions:

Obviously, I think Mith is the Goose.

I am sincerely worried about Mormegil's innocence. Especially since Mith's crazed "revelation", Morm's extensive talk about Goose/Owl masquerades really looks like instructions.

Roa has also seemed so bold as to be potentially Duckish, but hearing about her RL hassles this week (especially in the midst of my own) I am formally taking her off my suspect list. I doubt even a harried duck would withdraw from the team: he or she would have too great a responsibility to his/her fellows.

SPM has tended to confuse me so far. His fabled verbosity feels like an excellent way to evade suspicion...it would be horribly difficult just to search for clues!

I may or may not be on later. Hopefully I'll able to be more active this weekend, and I intend to put a lot more work and thought into this village. Knowing whom to ignore (Mith) should help keep it a bit more civilized. Honestly, this hurt to read.

[JennyHallu]

Oh, and if I seem rather testy (just reread and I thought I sounded testy) I haven't had dinner, and my husband has been on the phone for the last hour so I can't ask him what he wants to do for dinner, and it's...9 PM. On a Thursday. GAH!

[Glirdan]

I think, if I'm not mistaken, we still have Elu and SpM to vote, right?

What I need to know from everyone is whom to dream of. Should I dream of Mith and make it a wasted dream as morm says? Or should I look at someone else? I need suggestions.

[The Saucepan Man]

Zounds! I thought things were exciting when I was last here. It’s ten times more so now. Still, I have two Owls declaring me innocent, which can’t be a bad thing!

But I am totally confused. It has taken me an age to catch up and now it is very late in my personal village time zone. I have a busy day's Scarecrowing tomorrow, so I really oughtn’t tarry long.

Mith’s Owl claim seemed entirely credible to me when she made it, as she was under a fair bit of suspicion, not least from me, and her lynching was looking a distinct possibilty. Because Owlish behaviour can often look very much like Duckish behaviour, her claim made a lot of sense of my earlier suspicions of her. And the hints were there (though I did not spot them) in the run up to her declaration. Added to that the fact that she declared Nogrod and me to be innocent (I know that I am and I suspect Nogrod to be), her claim was (and still is) looking entirely believable to me.

Glirdan’s claim looks a lot less credible to me. If he’s a Duck, it was senseless for him to make his Owl claim when he did, since it would mean that his death would follow swiftly (in the next Day or so), leaving only one Duck against a well-populated village. The Owl had been identified, so there was little sense in a Duck declaring. However, it was a good tactic for a Goose, which is what I now suspect Glirdan to be.

Which means that spawn is probably innocent, yet is now going to die. Problem is, if Glirdan is the Goose, then, even after we lynch him, we will still have two Ducks to catch with very little to go on (unless an Owlish Mith survives tonight and delivers us a Duck tomorrow).

My vote will make no difference to today’s outcome. Even if both Elu and I vote for morm, spawn will still die because she has 6 votes and was the first to reach that total.

But vote I will. And, while I think her innocent, spawn’s death will at least be highly informative. So:

+ + dancing spawn of ungoliant

If she is guilty, then Mith is a Duck or the Goose. If she is innocent, then Glirdan is a Duck or the Goose. Either way, the Nightingale will know whom to protect tonight, and we will be one enemy down and quite possibly two by the end of tomorrow.

Well Glirdan, if you are the true Owl, I'm not fully convinced but Spawn's death is the hub of all of this, I would suggest not dreaming of Mith. I say this because if Spawn is guilty Mith is likely the Goose, if not you are. We can always lynch Mith or you on any given day if we lack a better suspect.

I would recommend dreaming of somebody a bit more useful and somebody that is on many lists. That would include me obviously, but others would be Roa, Jenny, and others that we would like to know like Kath for example. Of course, you could dream of any person you wish and deem best but I've already said that to dream of me is a waste of your potentially last dream, but of course nobody will believe this until I'm dreamt of or dead.

Well, if you are the Owl, I would not waste your dream on Mith. She will be lynched tomorrow and we will either win or we will rid ourselves of the Goose and have one more Duck to find. Similarly, Mith, if you are the Owl, do not waste your dream on Glirdan.

Whichever of you is the real Owl, you should be looking to find a Duck. It's up to you who you dream of.

Personally, those I see as the most suspicious at the moment are:

mormegil
Elu
JennyHallu

But you may disagree. Dream of the person you think looks most suspicious.

Obviously, though, if Elu does not turn up to vote today, there's no point in dreaming of him.

[Roa_Aoife]

Well, I think you should look at whoever you think is the most dubious. I would suggest not bothering with me, since I most likely won't be around, or Nogrod or SPM, since they could just as likely be dead. Beyond that, I would suggest not discussing it too much. If you choose to dream of an innocent, that innocent may become the Ducks kill, and end up wasting a dream.

[Glirdan]

I realise that discussing this is not a good idea, but I need ideas here!! Spm is declared innocent. I believe in Nogrod and morm's innocence as well. There's only one person who I feel I need to dream of....but I don't know if I should. Roa, you bring up a good point that it does give the Ducks another kill at Night, but wouldn't you rather have your suspicons list lowered?? As for who I will dream of...I will wait and choose....I'll let you all know in the morning...if I survive....
