More on Brinn's possible dreams

Brinn also paired Nogrod with Gil in her suspicions yesterDay (#371, #387). It would be lovely to think she had dreamed both as wolves, but I don't believe this can be the case.

The Day before she was "unsure" about both of them: (#187, #203) and considered (#199) Nog as a possible cobbler.

It seems clear, then, that Brinn hadn't dreamed either of them prior to Night Three, and, self-evidently, couldn't have dreamed both on the same Night.

Interestingly, though, she talks about Nogrod as "one to watch" (#187) and says she will "keep an eye on him" (#203). At this point, it looks a lot more like she's planning to dream Nog then Gil. And part of her case on Nog the next Day (#371)– she finds it suspicious that he would bother analysing the kill. Now, as I was at pains to point out yesterDay– doing so is simply normal practise. Thus, this could be a Seer "reaching" in order to make a case on someone she knows is a wolf. I'm sure we've all seen that kind of thing. On the other hand, it could just as easily, or more easily, simply be a Seer discounting evidence against someone she knows is innocent (i.e. Rikae.)

And after all, it was Gil she "would have preferred voting".

EDIT:formatting. EDIT2:fixed error.

Wow, that's a good point actually. I think you may be right. Perhaps Nogrod was the dream after all?

Well, I wouldn't want to rule it out. Though there's also what I said: It could simply be that she knew you were innocent, and therefore was inclined to look askance at anyone pushing the significance of a kill that seemed to point to you. But she didn't seem so inclined to suspect other people for that reason.

Sorry for the tardiness, I have been bouncing back between doctors all weekend.

I had a feeling suspicion will be continued on me, and it is hard to say if Brinn did a seer-dream of me and hinted at being clear. I did not like how Inz voted for me, and hoped for others to jump on even after it was stated that the votes were really spread out. I am still an obvious easy lynch for toDay, but myself being exhausted I just want others to look closer at Inz if I do get lynched and you discover that I am just an ordinary. I figure, if I go down might as well take a Wolf down with me.

You know my last posts for every day, I have been shady and would warrant a seer-dream.

Not sure what else to say for my defense aside from avenge me in the likely case I get lynched. With Brinn putting Nog with myself on the suspicion list could show that she dreamed Nog and hasn't dreamed me yet.

Inz and Nog are definitely the two we need to look at.

I apologize for not adding more, my brain is drained from this past couple of days. Possibly after sleep I can look more tomorrow.

And here's Gil himself to make my head hurt.

So... you're saying you think she did dream you, Gil? You know what that implies, right?

You leave out the fact that there were still several people who hadn't voted when I gave mine. I thought you were a better bet than Boro, and that Cop for one was feeling the same. My vote crossed with Cop's.

So you were being there in the top of the suspicion-list is for no reason at all, but somehow the seer wished to keep you there with the dreamt of Wizard (aka. me then)? An interesting scenario indeed

Although - and in all due fairness - the seer rarely makes a categorization of people where s/he keeps people with different "known statuses" in the same lot just because s/he might be dead the next Day and we'd need to be able to read her/him. Although it is possible Brinn felt secure enough not to be killed the next Night and felt she could keep things not in order for posterity?

Rikae seems to have been cleared quite universally - and she seems to be quite productive toDay (having not read her posts through, sadly as yet). LEt me take a closer look at her toMorrow if none else will. I'd love her as our ally but would hate her surfing through the game just because we didn't lynch her when we had a chance...

Yes. I have no clear idea about her but that I suspected her a lot yesterDay and Volo's death seems odd if it wasn't her (and yes, it could have been a random-kill as well). But like I said, it would be great if she were a troll after all.

I have no reason enough to vote differently after such a Day - as I do have my suspicions on Gil anyway.

And it seems there is no real difference I could make anyway - even if I had a strong view (well, I'd advocate it to be sure but well, never mind now...)
