Lhuna -> Shasta 1
wilwa -> Nogrod 1

To vote:
Fea
Inzil
Nerwen
Nogrod
Shasta

The horror-scenario: Lhuna is a baddie and thus Shasta is innocent as well. Thus we'd have two innocents on the line and as we'd be basically reluctant to spread the vote as that would increase the chances of the baddies to manipulate the voting that would be like a walk in the park to them.

Where is Fea? How many votes do we have for real?

PS. No, I'm not in anyway confident that Shasta is innocent, but I do suspect Lhuna more at this time (especially the "who would sting tp" thing + that Sam said he hadn't saved/healed her etc...).

Ah, well, I think this puts paid to my Lhuna + Nog theory. I was kind of wondering why, after claiming to suspect you for so long , she went for Shasta on a rather crucial Day, when there was still just as much reason to vote you... but whatever.

Anyway, I've tended to trust Lhuna most of the game, if only because phantom's theory about her was such clear nonsense. (Yes, I know he's now a departed innocent. All the same.)

EDIT:X"d with a host.

Really? I think you raise a good point here, actually, sun in my sky.

Oh. NO. Wait.

Bad news:

Thus, I will roll a die at the end of the Day to determine whether or not the victim’s vote has any merit.
Which means it may not even be a tie at all. But we've never seen a been-stung's vote not being counted so far in this game, right?

Good news:

So, spiderlings, if you help us lynch Shelob, you will revert to your good old selves. We will all win - except Shelob. (Do I have this right, Moddess?)

Come on. Wouldn't you want to give the good guys another point in the official Werewolf tally? (The last time I checked - 2 years ago - the villains are still in the lead. They always have been).

Besides, you can consider this as payback to Shelob for stinging you in the first place.


(I had already taken my glasses off and started counting sheep when this came to my mind. I swear this game has seriously messed up my already-messed up sleep cycle. )

But the problem with my good news is that we're not 100% certain Nogrod IS Shelob, and obviously the spiderlings can't reveal him OR themselves.

Sigh.

I'm going to bed.

Except for, you know, the part where the spiderlings are evil. Other than that though....

So. Shasta or Lhuna?

I'd say Lhuna, if we could trust people going that way, but could settle for Shasta as well.

So why aren't you baddies voting?

I'm willing to vote Lhuna if you are, Nog. Fact is, I don't know if I can trust you.

So....Wilwa's at work, and she wanted me to text her and tell her what happened.


She'd like to tell you all something.



I'm going to go die in the corner now.
