Haha forgot that Legate exists. Sorry darling! Doesn't change the situation much, though. Only means that Brinn if Nerwen is your main suspect it means you had better only vote after Legate has gone to sleep. (Don't really want to see Skippy lynched as I think him a probable seer dream.)

Shasta, I think "never" is too strong a word. I'd say "we agree very seldom." I just think that I would rather try our chances on a wolf toDay and if we lynch an innocent, see the Unicorn go for example next Night with a slightly smaller chance of getting Greenie back and thus rob the wolf of a Night-kill rather than lynch the Unicorn toDay and have a slightly bigger chance of getting Greenie back and thus rob us of a lynch.

Anyway, now that we have found one wolf from her posts, her coming back doesn't matter so much anymore. It would be nice to get a known innocent or two, but to lynch the Unicorn just for the slight chance (1/5) of getting that doesn't make any sense to me.

Lommy, unless something dramatic happens, I intend to vote Nerwen. I don't like this Morsul bandwagon, especially if he is the Unicorn. How can he be a wolf when he's encouraging votes against him? I seriously suspect Nerwen anyway, and really hope she's our last wolf. How nice it would be to pull off a WW game without a single innocent lynched.

So should I say: "If you say so?"

Okay. Let's give it a shot. It makes one Day wasted at most. Since I am rather clueless otherwise and basically from the people voted for I don't want to vote skip and Morsul is not any particularly clearly better option either, here we go.

++Nerwen

This Day's been rather "sliding in the dark" for me, but then again it would be nice if we have nailed the last one and it will be done in a nice and smooth way.

No; I just can't see how it changes the situation. Unless I misread the rules, the resurrected gifted don't have their gifts anymore.

PS. It's getting late here. I'm off to brush teeth and change into pyjamas. I'll check this thread in 10 minutes, post if there's something worthy of commenting and go to sleep.

The rules state:

Quote:
1 Unicorn (totally stealing this from Lottie, cause I loved it): when they die I will put the names of all of the dead in a hat, including the Unicorn’s name. If the name I pick out is of an innocent (or Cobbler) they will come back, if it’s a Wolf than no one comes back. Everyone comes back as an Ordo (except Cobbler still Cobbler, and Shirriff still Shirriff if their partner is still alive).

Oh, do they not? That means I misread, I should go and look at that.

Yep, it makes sense to check them every now and then if you're of the forgetful sort. (For example, I had forgotten that the Unicorn can resurrect him/herself as well as that the ranger can protect him/herself...could the hunter also have been able to hunt herself? )

...Well. Let me make a vote count, if possible...

So just let me see toDay's votes.

Morsul -> Morsul (Morsul 1)
Nerwen -> Skip (Skip 1, Morsul 1)
Shasta -> Morsul (Morsul 2, Skip 1)
Morsul -> --Morsul (Skip 1, Morsul 1)
Morsul -> Skip (Skip 2, Morsul 1)
Agan -> Nerwen (Skip 2, Morsul 1, Nerwen 1)
skip -> Morsul (Morsul 2, Skip 2, Nerwen 1)
Mira -> Morsul (Morsul 3, Skip 2, Nerwen 1)
Lommy -> Nerwen (Morsul 3, Nerwen 2, Skip 2)

Left to vote: Lottie, Brinn and possible retractors, and winty, if he exists. And me.

Okay, given that skip might have been a Seer dream... maybe letting him live... but then what? Doesn't look like lynching Shasta (although it would be still possible, but rather theoretically). Actually now I have also reread Morsul's posting and seems I have misinterpretated it before, I thought that he re-voted for skip only after skip voted him, now I realised that it was not so (he merely suspected him and voted him after that), it might have been also the way that Morsul saw Nerwen voting skip and merrily joined, copying Nerwen's own move she used against him (or rather: he used against himself) when she was a WW in my game. But that sounds a) rather complicated, b) possibly improbable to come up with even for Morsul's surprising agency. Anyway. Need to think. I could vote Nerwen for the peace of mind, but my suspicions for her basically equal nil. Might be "worth a shot" though, if I take it the way that it's really just a shot.

Will think and be back in a minute.

EDIT: x-ed since the start of the page

Aww, poor one. *hugs* If it helps, I also forgot about Lottie.

To say one last thing about the Unicorn topic: since the Unicorn can also come back himself, we have even slighter chances of getting Greenie back if we lynch Morsul, and we might even get Morsul himself back, which wouldn't make even frustrated Shasta feel better.

Anyway not sure if it makes sense to speculate about it any more since Morsul seems not to be around to say whether he claims being the Unicorn or not and we shouldn't definitely pressure the Unicorn to reveal anyway (although if it's Morsul there's not much to lose anymore...)

If we lynch Nerwen and she's a wolf, I say we're an incredible village. If we lynch her and she isn't, I'll be very sorry for lynching her without having much points of my own against her, but at least I won't be "what if"ing about her until she or me dies...

So *crosses fingers*

And PS I'll really disapprove if we lynch Skippy or Morsul toDay (unless I'm wrong and one of them is a wolf, of course ).

Good night!

Yes, I have been thinking more or less the same.

Indeed. Let's just lynch her and get over with that - now that I have voted for her as well, I don't want it to go waste.

Good night.

I would like to hear more from winty, to be quite honest.

That's about all the one-liners from me today, I'm heading out. I haven't looked at Nerwen specifically myself, but from what I can tell from her analyses she seems innocent to me. (Hopefully that's not me going "Hey, analyses! Innocent!" )

Honestly, I feel like today was a pretty wasted day for me, if we're not lynching Morsul. Sigh.

Shasta out.

Why would the Day be wasted? I don't think we would get much out lynching Morsul at all.

Since there are still other voters left plus possible retractions, I'm holding off my vote for Nerwen for now in case of a tie.
