You were happy enough to speak for Gil. If your explanation can't take into account the morm-factor, then I can't buy it.

How should I know what morm is thinking? Do you know what Greenie is thinking?

Anyway this is a game modded by Fea, so everything's possible. I would be surprised if we only got what the initial rules gave us...

Nog - calm down, will you? No need to get heated. Please if you think/know those two are wrong then give us some logical proof. Prove their arguments wrong and I'll be sure to reconsider. As long as your theory has flaws such as the morm thing Gwath already pointed out, I can't take it seriously.

I plan to go to sleep in an instant. So,

++ phantom for representative


EDIT: x-ed with Nog and phantom

Haha, but actually you are wrong since I'm at our mother's place at the moment.

That aside, Nog dear start speaking sense! No one expects you to know what morm is thinking. BUT you should be sensible enough to realise that an innocent villager would have no reason to confess being a wolf, which means that he is a wolf and Boro was right about him. Besides, like phantom said, if Boro and phantom are wolves, the plan would make no sense at all unless you, too, were a wolf! The only way that theory makes even the slightest bit of sense would mean that you are a wolf too, which in turn doesn't help your personal cause at all.


EDIT: x-ed with a lot of people

morm's got the class to admit he's been caught in a trap...Nog will get there once his pride has fallen...ie once he's lynched. My advice, pay no attention to either of them, just enjoy their company while they are still with us.

All we need now is Brin's vote for Boro and the lynch set up will be complete.

He was also right about The Ka, but the question is did he knew it or did he just quess it? At least he hasn't "confessed" dreaming on her... And Shasta "was right" about her but that neither proves he knew it.

But you're right in that there is something fishy in here. Happily we still have something like 30 hours to look at the possibilities.

I'm not so keen on my personal "cause". This game has taken just a bit too much time in the middle of rushed period at work and I will kind of feel relieved when this is all over (fun as it has been to the fullest) but I'm just trying to help so that that lupine duo will not fool you completely.

And the first thing you should do is to drop that devillish plan of a double lynch immediately. You see who were the proponents of it? How come it was Boro and tp... Just lynch me first, I'm all for it. Then you can see who's the one setting others up.

I mean how come you belive these guys now without a question. If Gil is the seer - who got hurt and decided to let the village rot in their own misery without a seer - they can do absolutely what they wish with you unless someone stands up and challenges them.

You see what I mean? Do not challenge them is the message. Be lulled to the secure feeling of everything being nice and dandy... in a Fea game! Now that's a walking contradiction.

Do you really think Boro and I would bet so heavily on that possibility?

Then we show up to do our plan and- whoops! The Seer was somebody else. And we're toast.

You really think we'd risk that?

As soon as Brin votes for Boro your fate is sealed.

If you are just an ordo as you claim how come you speak of you two betting on something right there? Aren't you two following a plan you have written together? I mean this still looks fishy to me.

And not the least because meanwhile I'm also beginning to think you might just have been played the fool here tp. There should be a surprise or two in a game modded by Fea so what is it?

Is Boro a false-seer?
Is he a cobbler-kind of figure?
Or perhaps a were-bear?

All those might explain his actions to the minutest detail - even the fact that he just caught morm by chance (or as false seers may have genuine dreams as well?) you have played along that nicely not knowing you have been fooled...

Right. I know that. I'm mainly targeting the future as you well know...

People should be more sportive by the way. This is getting a bit boring.


Btw., I'm making a prediction: believe it or not but Boro will be alive toMorrow. I know it.

Think about that.

Yes being that I was part of the conversation, though not an active voter in the conversations of the 4 wolves I must say that this is what kept you alive tummy....pstt Lommy, that was a good bluff you pulled off calling Nogrod out like that when he and the others killed McCaber, you almost made me believe you weren't part of the conversation.

I confess that I am not an 'innocent' villager but I also confess that I am not a wolf, Fea organized a special role for me one which I relished. There was a reason I was going after Boromir so loudly and vocally, I tell you all I want to be lynched, it will be quite fun to see your reactions to what will happen.

I'm fine with dying because this lynch will buy those I work for more time, so of course I'm willing to confess. I do not know who the others are, I cannot be sure of Nogrod, all I know is that I was given a special role from Fea because she knew I would be one dreamt of and then the fun would begin....
