Good question. I was kind of torn, because I did not want to go out and say "look at me, I am the Ranger", but catching wraiths was still top priority and I thought that I had found a way to do it. (and it was not all wrong, I guessed Sally on that basis)

Also there was a vauge hope that Nogrod would think "maybe he has a special role as well" and not vaste time on dreaming about me

Errr... weren't you afraid the wraiths might think that too?

indeed I accepted her claim at first, I was not sure if I was going to counter it yet.

it must have been on day 3 that I said that Sally and Brinn could be special roles.

And of course I was afraid of that, but that is always a problem with leaving hints, there is no way of telling who will pick up on it. I did however consider it most likely that Nogrod and Legate would think those thoughts and Legate's faith was sealed.

I know that it is simple and that no matter who is lynched the outcome will be the same, but I am sure that Lhuna will come out still claiming to be the ranger even though she is bound to loose. It is always more fun to stay alive to the end or go out in a magnificent way.

I cannot remember the last time I was survived a game with village victory, also it would hurt to see Lhuna's fraud getting me lynched.
--------------------------

OK, lets say I had counter claimed at once, what would the village have done?
My guess is that you would have used the whole day focusing on me and Lhuna, in the end you would lynch me and then Lhuna the next day.

By playing like I did, I have enabled my self to hand you the last wraith on a silver plate, now you have the chance to end this game without further loss of innocent lives.

Well, didn't it occur to you that the way you were accepting it would make it well-nigh impossible to counter later?

Rune, suggesting Sally might have an unspecified role is not equivalent to picking her as a wraith! (Other people already suspected her true role for in-game reasons, so, quite frankly, I don't see why you think your approach was so useful.)

Maybe, maybe not. Lhuna had been under heavy suspicion... why did you assume even a reasonable claim from you would be rejected in favour of hers?

EDIT: X'd with Shasta.

I don't see why it would. . .I thought it was the best thing to do until I decided on what exactly to do.

I did not say it was extremely useful, but that is not the point anyway. . .you are twisting the debate in another direction now. The point was that I would not have drawn atention to this had I been a wraith.

Because that is how it normally goes. . . I did not want to do anything rash.


Anyways my only chance of survival is if Lhuna decides she does not want to play an extra day.

(I will be arround for another hour, then I have to leave my fathers office that he is currently letting me use. My internet might be up and running when I get home, but I cannot promise anything)

Okay... then you did your bit by saving Shasta, and we'll lynch Lhuna toMorrow, like I said.

Happy?

No, I was questioning you for a purpose– i.e. finding whether or not you were trying to mislead us– with the idea that the people yet to vote could read it and make up their own minds.
