WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[Lariren Shadow]

Does it even matter if the Robber Bridegroom revels? I mean, if we get the last wolf then we will be able to win even if he is still alive. He did his job, there's nothing we can do to stop him other than lynch him and that's pointless as he counts as one of the villagers(I do have that right, right?).

I'm not sure about lynching the phantom. He makes a lot of sense at times and can be very helpful when he wants to be. I wouldn't want him dead, not especially this close to the end because he might be able to find something we can't.

I'm leaning to believe Eomer about his revel.

I have no idea really about anyone else other than I still don't like Nerwen.

That's what's so annoying about the situation. He goes from sounding evil and scheming to sounding logical and forthright in the blink of an eye. Like this:

That's a fair point, I must admit.
I want to think about McCaber some more, as well as Kath and Nerwen.
I'd also like to hear from the two who have yet to check in today.

[Nerwen]

Anyone around?

[Inziladun]

I am, though it's maddening trying to decide whether to believe phantom's latest. I ought to vote for him just on general principles, yet I have some misgivings.
Eomer is apparently convinced McCaber is a wolf. Not sure what I think about that either.

[Nerwen]

I've got some things to say about tp.

Just a moment.

By the way, wouldn't everyone agree that it would increase voting odds and Hunter pick odds if Gretel also were to reveal as soon as possible?

As I see it, it might also narrow the field enough for the Hunter to be easily picked off during the Night, with a decent chance still of missing a wolf. It might be advisable to hold off another day, when the choices have narrowed a bit. Could be a calculated risk though.
But then again what do I know?

The Robber Bridegroom might well try it, but it is very doubtful that it would be intelligent for a member of the evil foursome to come out at that time. It's downright suicidal.

The situation was this: Mira had revealed as the Seer and denounced Agan and Fea. Then Fea counter-revealed and accused you, tp, of being the Robber Bridegroom.

So your reveal supported her claim. Now, it does have a somewhat jokey, ambiguous tone to it... so yes, you could have been doing what you say... or you could have been laying ground for a retraction. Anyway, if you're innocent, you knew she was lying, so it was a dangerous stunt to pull in those circumstances– not just for you, but for the village.

To be fair, if you're the Robber Bridegroom, there's the unresolved question of how you knew which "Seer" was false (and thus the one to support)... I don't know– it may be you were more on the ball than I was, and picked Fea's slip immediately. Or it may be that the RB and wolves have found some way to identify each other– in fact Fea basically said this yesterDay.

On the other hand, I'm not sure what to make of Fea's parting words. They do read a bit like, "See, everyone! He IS the RB! Really!"

Bringing me to the other point. No, wouldn't have made sense for a third wolf to reveal as a wolf– but you didn't. And there's a perfectly good reason for a wolf to reveal as a cobbler. You said it yourself:

So... I don't know what you are, phantom, but here are the odds I'm offering toDay:

Robber Bridegroom (2-1)
Wolf (2-1)
Innocent (50-1)


Finally, what's this mean–?

Huh? To the best of my knowledge, there are two ordos (or apparent ordos) left in this village– unless Red Cap has been turned, which isn't public knowledge...

EDIT: X'd since my last post.
