I would be hesitant to trust anything said in that kind of confidence, since I'm guessing it's going to be way easier for a wolf to fool someone in a closed, controlled environment where the wolf gets to determine every word you read and you don't have the running commentary of the rest of the village to (theoretically) keep you sane. I'm not saying you're wrong, Nienna, I'm just saying that we have to evaluate everyone based on what they say during the Day, when we are all listening. That's the only safe way, because that's when we're more likely to see a player's true colors - when the combined spotlights of the attention of the whole village can be turned upon them.

SOrry for rattling on.

No Gwath that is fine. You don't have to trust us, but I do. I understand the risks in being convinced as I have been by Lottie but am willing to take that risk. You may commence analyzing everyone as I have tons and tons of homework to do. I suggest starting with Lommy as she is clearly a wolf.

It's also true that there comes a certain point when you have no choice but to gamble and trust one or two people. That point may have come for you, but not for me.

And also, I have to add, wolves could easily decide to have these chats with each other and then tell the village "oh I had a special talk with x and she looks really innocent", thus exonerating their mates.

And how many had the same flimsy reasons to vote innocent Roa yesterDay? Can't really accuse us for voting innocents when you did it too. At least we didn't cause the death of two innocents. Seriously though, I was suspicious of Fea and very unsure about Roa, so I thought I'd like to see what would happen if Fea-lynch was offered as an alternative. Besides, I did not want to take part in killing Roa whom I didn't think as guilty as everyone else did and I hate it when all the village votes the same person because it is virtually impossible to deduce anything from that.

Who do you think would've killed Fea? I'm sorry, but I'd point my finger at Nienna, who would possibly want to get rid of her friend before the last Days so that no one can realise what she's really up to.

But anyway, people, let's not make the same mistakes toDay as we did with Roa. Basically that means:
1) Let's check our lynch candidates' ties with Rune earlier than 15 minutes before the DL when most of people have already voted.
2) Let's not lynch somebody more or less everybody is willing to lynch because they are most probably innocent.
