Aw, Boro's being such a good sport!

Perhaps I should have dreamt of CoD instead of Rikae, but I was fairly certain he wasn't a wolf...and still am. I am a little familiar with CoD's tactics, and his ancestor played in, as far as I can tell, the same (in my opinion very careless) way when he was the Ranger. Not that that necessarily means anything. I also know CoD can be a good liar.

Personally, I'm thinking Boro's going with reverse psychology: by blatantly saying "CoD is innocent," he's more than placing it in our heads "lynch CoD." He hasn't mentioned Farael yet, but I suppose trying to get anything from his behavior will be impossible.

For me, Valier and Farael come out on top. It's just not fair! I feel like there is so little to go on with the people remaining I believe to be wolves. So far this game, my gut feelings have been right (though my voting record certainly doesn't show it), so I'm tempted to rant about Valier and forget about the others. But I really don't know. I wish I had more time to go over the thread right now...I will have to later, though. I am unfortunately going to be gone until an hour, maybe two before the deadline! So I will try my best to leave with something intelligent...though I don't guaruntee anything. I will go through the thread from top to bottom.

Hopefully we'll actually hear from everyone today.

(And I hope I get to dream before I am killed, just so I can know whether or not we are doomed ahead of time...then I will have more time to get settled and "rest in peace." )

Durelin you are playing with fire right now... if there's any time Boromir may attempt a multiple bluff it is right now. He knows that in spite of ourselves, at least some of us will over-analyze his words... and it's just as likely that he'll try to make his partner look innocent (after all, he wouldn't be THAT obvious, right?) as it is that he'll make him or her look wolfish (after all, we wouldn't believe him, would we?) as it is that he'll just avoid to mention his or her name and have us running in circles.

For all I care right now, Boromir is a source of amusement, not of information. I strongly suggest that you ignore him as well.

You admit to being amused...so why would you want that? Plus I'm giving out such a great amount of information.

(I'm getting the feeling he actually enjoys posting toDay enormously since he can banter and speak silly things as much as he wishes since his fate is sealed and he seems to love trying to confuse everyone too...)
Quite true.

Though, this may be one of my last posts today...it shall surely be one you are going to want to look into.

Don't listen to Farael I mean after all I am now proven innocent (from my perspective)...you all know my identity...but you don't know Farael's. So, would this not make me more trusting?

If I was an innocent I would really be concerned about Farael and Lommy over there...Aye the one's that are acting all good and just in getting rid of me, they're the one's to look at.

Valier would scare me even more...she's Miss silent assassin wolf over there.

When Volo appears he'll likely come on here, denounce my name and vote for me...mildly supsicious wolf behaviour.

I've already talked about CoD

When do I ever play mind games Durelin? Or at least not intentionally. It's your job to figure out who it is, but I can't be leaving any more possible clues. I mean I can't just tell you it's Volierommy....oops. I bet your my partner right now is just thinking 'I wish he'd just shut up' because I can't be giving any more clues than I am now.

Jenny when you write up today's narration, could you please have me stick an apple on Boromir's mouth to make him silent already?

How does being proven a wolf make you more reliable than an unknown? I should stop interacting with you or else I'll get my butt lynched, but you are just too amusing.

Can anyone explain Volo's last post? S/he (is Volo a he or a she?) seems to be in a hurry, but I just can't make sense of what s/he just said.

In spite of my (ongoing) suspicions for CoD I have to admit he is an unlikely wolf... furthermore, Loomy seems innocent, even if a little all over the place. I know that I'm an ordo but you don't, yet for me this means that the options for the remaining wolf are Valier and Volo. I don't quite see what so many people find suspicious about Valier if anything I have nothing to go on in favour of or against her. That on itself is "something" but I find Volo much more disturbing. The few posts s/he has made are highly confusing, which could be because of his/her busy RL, or be a wolfish tactic.

I think we should start analyzing Tomorrow. Boromir is as good as dead, and sadly so is our Seer Durelin. If Boromir does not get all votes today I'll be surprised, and if Durelin survives the night... well, I'll be mightly pleased.

Which reminds me
++Boromir

Look mommy... I managed to get a vote in before the deadline!

What shall we do tomorrow? the village is going to look like this:
Known Ordo
Nogrod
Unknowns
Valier
Volo
CoD
Loomy
Myself

The day after, odds are the village will be
Unknowns-1
3 ordos, 1 wolf
Unless we lynch the wolf tomorrow.

That means that the day after will be the last day (one lynch, one kill at night and we get 1 wolf and 1 villager, wolf wins).

I don't know what the main suspects for Tomorrow's lynching should be, but if anyone (Nogrod/Durelin if possible, as I said before) has the time to go through Boromir's posts, we might be able to find something out. Thanks to Durelin odds are in our favour... specially with regards to Boromir who, in spite of my best efforts, would have never been lynched.

I've already decided how Boro dies, so all suggestions and requests shall be ignored. Besides, I don't want him to shut up unless he wishes. This is deliciously entertaining.

I was just joking around m'lady... I would dare not tell you what to do in your village.

Why is everyone so silent? I have to go to clas soon and I'll be busy for most of the day after that.

I'll just jump over the stuff that has been said about me, because I'd just make things even more confusing. But why am I not suspicous enough? I didn't say a single thing about Naria during the whole game...

But back to trying talking sense. Farael seems really wolf, now that Naria is proven evil. Or then the wolves are really lucky. Farael was so much against CoD that I at least felt that CoD would be lynched, he then wasn't and now I can't call him wolf, it was either him or Naria.

Have to run away... ->

EDIT: xd with Boro... :/

Explaining again:

Farael tried turn attention away from the wolf-Naria by writing such an analysis about CoD, who was a rather suspicious fellow just like Naria. In other words, Farael tried to save Naria, or would that have any sense in it? I can't imagine CoD being a wolf after this.

I didn't try to save Naria I tried to kill CoD... and he might do his own case a favour by not saying that he won't defend himself any longer, but rather doing some discussion himself.

That was bound to happen... but talking about her, now that she has actually said something, she doesn't look so bad to me.

Right now my main suspects are Volo and CoD. I suspect CoD more in a "something don't feel right" way, but rationally Volo is more likely to be a wolf.

Although, let me propose one theory here.

What if Rune had nailed TWO wolves? killing him would have condemned Naria yes, but it would also make CoD look almost certainly innocent.

I don't know, I still don't buy into CoD's innocence, but...

Well, my hunches have been absolutely horrible so far in this game. Okay, I suspected Naria quite a lot but still wasn't able to carry it through...

Anyhow, I'm not suspecting CoD the most. Quite on the contrary.

Even though Valier's point about Lommy is worth looking at toMorrow, I'm still relatively at ease with her.

Valier herself would have been much higher in my list of suspicions unless her posting just lately.

Farael I'm pretty confused about. He's feels a bit too reckless to be a wolf but at least to my eye looks more suspicious than the aforementioned.

Volo I just can't get. No read-out whatsoever. That makes me worry about him.

These are only my preliminary hunches. Nothing solid in any way. But we'll all have time tomorrow (RL) and toMorrow (in-game) to sort these out.

Thanks Durelin, a great game from you! Sad you can't join the nerve-wrecking action of toMorrow!

It's been so fun today...don't sound so gloomy. Special thanks to Miss Jenny who has allowed all this enjoyment.

Before I never speak to thoughst again (until we meet some other time) Whatever I've said about CoD is 100% lies.

Everything else today though is approximately 73% truthful (even that's correct), including the most important thing...the third wolf.

Good luck Volo.

Glad I could be of some service...bye.

So don't, then. I've spent enough time trying to sway this jury, only to be ignored. I will not waste further time attempting to persuade you I am not wolf. And I know you won't be truly satisfied until I'm lynched or killed by wolves. Only then will it prove what I am.

You have two options: Take me at my word, and go on trying to find the last wolf, or lynch me and waste more time. The latter, of course, will spell your own doom.
