My bet is she's not bluffing.

But...guys...listen. It doesn't make sense that if Tum is the Seer that she is the false one, because Boromir seemed to be false, didn't he? He seemed to be pointing to Eonwe being a wolf, and Eonwe was our only completely innocent chap around.

Tum, are you Hestia or Apollo? My apologies if you said and I missed it.

Our only chance is to check her out. I think we're not in that dire straits we couldn't afford it - even if they got a fifth and a sixth wolf...

I mean don't trust tp's optimism if he's one of them.

Nog, post once more (so I can congratulate you on 7,000!) then go to bed. When you wake up in the morning there'll be no pain, no stress, no nothing.

++Nog


I love you muchly, but you have to go. Good Night, and good luck to us all.

Sally, I think you know something useful here. Am I right?

Look, I can see that no one wants to risk losing a seer, but would you rather lose a false seer or a ranger?

Neither. Let's kill Nog.

And yes, I know things. But not seerish things exactly, and I'm not telling.

Crap; I deleted a P.S. to my post before posting and it erased the reason.

Nog's the safest choice and the most dangerous. He'll keep us free of having to deal with this Tum and Rikae business (for toDay) and he's also looking darn guilty. That and he's acting so bloody weird.

Will Sally be our next lynchee...?

It's nice to be proved innocent this way, though...

Or would you rather risk losing the real seer or a wolf? Listen it's like I said. If she's not a wolf that means I'm the false seer. Which means you better hope Hestia is the real seer. I don't care if I get killed toNight or toMorrow if I'm proven wrong about Rikae.

As I said, there's been no evidence that any of his (several) possible hints were accurate. But that's hardly proof...

Note: If Tum does end up being the Seer, I will pat myself on the back and say, "See, told you I wasn't happy with her as a candidate!" Problem is, at the same time I am not overly happy about testing her powers on Rikae, as I've been operating under the impression that Rikae was, well, something else (not Ares). I mean- you have hinted at your role, haven't you Rikae? Very quiet like? Things that only obessive WW junkies would catch? Or have you been hood-winking me?

Nog- you're totally off yet again. It frankly ticks me off that you're not going to get lynched.
