That's exactly what I had in mind...

Belived by who?

This might be even more twisted game I have thought of it thus far.

But I can see your intention tp. You're trying to pre-empt Boro's attack on you the next Night now aren't you? Quite a decent plan I must agree. And sorry to spoil it, but as one that is going to die I'm not feeling too bad about it.

Bah. As soon as it started to look a bit cleaner and more straightforwards then you come with this idle bluff...

I mean on the other hand maybe your story about the cobbler-seer and all the ramifications of it is true then? And it would be not a surprise Fea would pick you two to be involved in there. And thence you're trying to buy Boro some legitimate time (something you could argue for as I spoiled Boro's "I might be off the next 48 hours" thing) as he's your helper in the last account - so even if it looks like he's the master around here then as a cobbler-seer, or whatever he is, he still is indeed your subordinate?

Or do you just trust him? Well I understand you'd not take my advice on this but ask Boro how trusting others can turn out. He has exprerience of it indeed... (sorry Boro, I just had to make that reference as I see it's possible you're trying to use the same trick)

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

I'm currently working on finding all the quotes by our wolves which mention unknowns, and also finding quotes by the unknowns mentioning wolves. But with nearly 1500 posts on this thread, it's quite the monstrous task and I can already see I won't be finishing by the end of toDay since I'm planning to try to go see Spamalot tonight while it's in town. So all those quotes and an analysis will have to wait until toMorrow..

Anyways, I can't really say my thoughts have changed much since my last analysis post. There hasn't been much posting toDay, and many of the posts there have been are just chatter. I suppose toMorrow it'll be much easier to talk when these naughty boys aren't here to distract us..

So unless I can't get a ticket for the show, I probably won't be back again toDay.

Sadly one of those naughty boys have been one of the few to actually try to boost a discussion.

If you Brinn believe it's all okay, I'll tell you you're mistaken and mistaken badly. This is not fine and dandy. You'll see.

You need to have the discussion if you are to play this game! Just sitting back and relaxing is both spineless and stupid. You would have had a whole day to discuss things and what do you do? Hide in the shadows so that no one suspects you for standing out and speaking your mind, right?

And I'm kind of serious with this. Just say whatever you say of my role but think yourselves as well what I'm saying: the baddies win when the innocents lay low - and I'd hate to see those dratted rival-baddies win... So pull yourselves together now!

When you think in the late hours of toMorrow that you're in a hurry think of it if you had done something toDay.

It's such an anticlimax to die in a Day like this...

But you carry the consequences toMorrow.

I'm prepared and I have done my best, how about you?

Nogrod, you are such a drama queen!

You know very well that given the events that have taken place, the village could have taken no other action than what have been done. We all know that there is a risk that we are being manipulated by evil-doers, but that is a risk we must take.

If you had been in our shoes you would have done the same. . . so please stop the whining.

I agree that more could have been done today, but if there ever was a day to neglect werewolf this was it. Everything have already been decided, so there is not talks that cannot wait until tomorrow.

Luckily, after today Nogrod, you'll be dead and your last wolf buddy will not have to cave in to your failed policies from the past 3 days. You got drug around in circles, deal with it.

This could be my last post before the deadline...

Tonight I will either take a look at Rune, Nerwen, or Sally.

Rune for his "visionary" comments about morm, but he's looked more innocent today than yesterday. Especially since yesterday morm tried to get my attention on Rune and not him.


Nerwen
, because I'm suspicious of the morm vote for her on Day 2. The "ranger" business could have been easily planned and morm could hope to make himself look better if he was able to get a wolf-Nerwen lynched.

sally...well she's just a little too excited this past day. She seems like she is taking much more joy out of this than anyone else. Maybe she's just loving the opportunity to not live under the oppressive Nogrod regime?

Excluding tp, I feel the best about Lommy and Kath. But of course don't take that as a known statement of their innocence, and if they attempt to argue their innocence because I thought they were, take a good look at them.

Nogrod, this has to of been one of the most productive days ever. We're lynching two wolves and put together a very smooth and nice plan throughout the day. See what happens when you have something called "trust." You should have trusted your packmates' judgement to get rid of me, it was your policies that got you right where you are today, but you continue to blame others.

Now you want to blame Fea for fixing the outcome.

This day being settled early worked out very nicely for me as I've been extremely busy and will unavailable throughout the evening.

I'll possibly see everyone tomorrow. Unless the final WW has figured out who I am, of course.

I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just alerting the citizens. And if my policies are to blame, well then deal with it. There are policies of opportunism and policies of dignity, policies of the lowest common denominator and policies of chivalry. You choose your side and manner with what you have in your hands, everyone, individually, and you carry that mark with you...

One for the money, two for the show, three for the truth and go wolf go.

Anyway, that's a bit under your stature Boro. Had you been killable you'd not grin around anymore. So thank your mistress for that (do I hear tp getting jealous?). And that's no blame, just a call for being less jubilant with being born with a silver-spoon in your mouth.

I'm somewhow torn about this village. In a way I'd like to see them win over you but on the other hand they seem not to earn it, looking at toDay.

Maybe Fea will balance this out by killing you all...

As Fea said, welcome to the advanced game of werewolf. There's no telling what happens or is. This is no elementary game as she underlined it (even if Boro tries to make you believe all is clear - but you'll see it). So everything is possible. Just try to orientate through this and all the conflicting messages... you'll have to decide for yourself what to do in this envirovenment.

Great minds, my friend....

Hey, do you realize how often I end up right but don't find out about it until I'm dead? Either that or I pinpoint the wolves and then the village kills me for it? (Not necessarily here, but still....) Besides, I'm a horrible judge of Nog, so calling him indeed does make me a happy girl.


Alternatively....I can't resist. Heh, wasn't it the last game we were in together, Boro? Something involving a dead cobbler come morning although everyone else realized they were evil? *stops poking and guilt tripping*

Alternatively alternatively, I haven't even been reading Nog's posts. Clever clogs over there is undoubtedly causing mischief and I'll not allow him to cloud my judgement on what's going on. (Okay, I've read, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Obviously.)



Off for now. Just felt like posting, although I don't have a WHOLE lot to say. Back in a bit perhaps with a list, but if I don't return, sweet dreams, fair village.

Brinn I certainly advise the village to look at your quotes too.
