Nice work, Shasta, if you can hear me where you are!

Ok, one thing I've got to ask off the bat:

At any rate, if that Morm-wagon wasn't at least in part a wolf-driven Alona rescue attempt, I'll eat my keyboard. All the votes will need a careful look, but I'm too tired to do it now, sorry.

I voted for morm as well. Apparently Nienna doesn't love me enough to include me.

Eek. * Apologizes* Sorry Mira! The end of day was a little confusing and I was trying my best to keep up... but I am no Lari. There is an earlier count that was correct but then I some how managed to mess it up and with Sally retracting and then locking in it got a bit confusing.

It is sad that Shasta, our valiant Ranger is now dead, but I'm happy we have finally nabbed a wolf and the wolves lost out on a kill. This is good news.

It is a sad day for us villagers. Shasta did a great deed by saving someone in the village. I just wish that he weren't dead.

Well I must thank two people, the ranger, as I am almost certain I was the wolf's target last night and the head of Boro's coin.

According to Nienna's count here is the votes from yesterday

Rikae--> Sally
Morm--> Form
Lommy--> Form
Alona--> No Vote
Nessa--> No Vote
Sally--> Morm
--Morm--Form
Autume--> Morm
--Rikae--Sally
Rikae --> Alona
Form--> Alona
Mac--> Alona
Nienna--> Morm
Morm--> Alona
Dury--> Alona
Nerwen--> Morm
--Sally-- Morm
Sally--> Morm

Alona voters: Durelin, Morm, Mac, Form, Rikae
Morm voters: Sally, Nerwen, Nienna, Autume, Mira (somehow not included on this list but was on an earlier list)
No votes were Alona and Nessa

Very interesting the way it played out. I am very much inclined to believe Durelin, Mac and Rikae innocent with Form a possible bear suspect.

Somehow my suspicion of Sally was not lessened at all . Alona no voted which is odd too but would another wolf go along with that? I doubt it, too obvious for me I would think and I'm not sure Nessa is that bold. I am thinking her a bit more innocent.

Did Lommy vote?

I would be content to focus most all the attention on the Morm voters from yesterday and keep an eye on Form.

Here is somewhat of a wild plan that may work. We have 12 remaining villagers, 3 gifteds, a cobbler, bear, two wolves and 5 ordos including me. If the 3 gifted came forward, but no revealing their role, this is for two reasons. 1. With the hunter still at large the wolves and bear will have to second guess which one to kill. 2. The cobbler may decide to join the ranks of the proclaimed gifteds. However, if this were to happen we would need to decide if we want to believe the claim at all before the gifteds reveal their true role. I think the cobbler would be very obvious if she tries to reveal herself (I'm thinking Sally first then Nerwen as likely candidates). Anyway that would give 3 solid innocents of 12, if I am assumed innocent because of Shasta's protection last night, I had hoped he would have survived to verify the claim. Anyway, I think it reasonable to assume the worst case for me would be that I am the bear, with this plan in place we could fairly quickly eliminate the wolves and bear. There would be 4 to 5 known innocents, depending upon who you are. For the 4 other ordos they will know that they are innocent, ergo 5.

What say ye? Too soon for this? It would be that 1/3 of the village would be known innocents and then I think it would be fairly easy to ferret out the guilty based on voting patterns etc...

EDIT: Crossed with everybody since Boro's last post.

Oh, and on my plan I am primarily interested in hearing from those whom I believe innocent.

You can't be certain Durelin, but assume for a moment I am not a wolf, would I be a likely wolf target?

Why would the wolves kill someone who's been the topic of so much conversation (and lynching interest) recently? I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying that I'm not believing you're innocent just because you say you were attacked. For all I know they tried to kill me (although it'd be the same idea, and thus unlikely).


Finding all the Nessa posts now, and hopefully I'll get it out before I head for home.

I would think any of the alona voters were likely targets last night, with considerations for targeting the ranger or the shirrifs and possibly avoiding the hunter.

But maybe the wolves really are convinced you're the bear.

Sally...cobbler?

Nienna and Lommy wolves?

Nerwen and Mira also bother me a lot.

But I'm ready to vote Morm for his gifted-reveal plan.

That's excellent.

It means I don't have to talk right now.



Actually, I'm only posting now to let it be known that, as with yesterDay, I'll be offline from now until about 4-5 hours before the Deadline. I assume I won't get distracted and start purchasing any expensive Tolkien books, but that would also have been my assumption yesterday, so...

Anyway, yeah... online in 18-19 hours.

Meanwhile, my only comment is that, had there been more of them, the No Voters would bear more watching, but it was only Alona and Nessa. Should probably look at Nessa just in case, though...

Okay, going to bed--unless something catches my eye on the way out.

I say the shirriffs can't be known innocents at the same time. *points to rules*

Confounded man, you and your blasted rules, a pox on them! I failed to see that rule, it might be safe to assume I am not a BFF.
