What I'm saying here is, any vote other than for Green could result in Nog robbing us of our ability.

Agan, I don't think I asked you directly--

Did you ever suspect that Nog, like Boro and I, totally had an eye on your possible Giftedness on Day 1 and chose to vote for you because he saw an opportunity to knock off a Gifted?

No. It's not impossible but no, I don't think what I said or did - or how I said and did it - is something he'd usually pay attention to.

Nog is being weirdly insistent about phantom again, but it may be related to it being past midnight here.

Just saying.
Be realistic, Nog - checking him wasn't going to happen toNight anyway since basically everyone but you said they want to check one of the two of us instead.

Okay. I am getting annoyed, especially with tp hinting I would be the one trying to not give us a vote that has a result - but not then voting for me to find out. If that isn't cheap, then what is?

(Like tp himself caused a tie already yesterDay by conscientiously ignoring particular discussion of the voted person and leaving it to the last minute - and then choosing someone whom I would have to have guessed to hit it correctly - while I made it clear I had one candidate who would have given the extra-vote to the exactly same person (Agan) tp's vote would have given it)

a) I am not "weirdly insistent" and can see can come to issues from several angles, but I'm very much flabbergasted you think having an unknown phantom here to steer things is just okay. And b) I've been of that mind consistently Day and Night and night and day (disregarding the clock).

Well. This reminds me of the last Dead Thread game. I was right then alone - and I'm afraid I'm right alone now as well.



My first thought was to vote myself just out of annoyance but then I realised that until Rune comes it is then a tie... I need to hear from Rune first as I'm open to any choice but a tie.

To Rune

If you want to check me, say it. I can then vote myself first so that you see I'm not trying any games. Result me 3 votes, Greenie 2 votes.

If you want to check Greenie, say it or vote her. I'll play along (but your vote is actually enough whatever I do).

Up to you to pick from us two as it's clear tp can not be voted anymore.

That was smart of him (well naturally) to make his vote early as even if it does the same thing as denying us voting him as the last voter, it looks much better this way as he forces others to avoid the tie.

Edit: x'd with Rune... okay that does it.

I don't tihnk this is our best bet - whatever the result, but happy we have a result (Yeah, I could have now voted for tp just out of principle, but that's an empty gesture).

DAY ONE VOTING

Nilp -> Nilp
Rune -> Formendacil
Mormegil -> Macalaure
Lalaith -> Legate
Kath -> Formendacil 2
Aganzir -> Lommy
Lommy -> Aganzir
Legate -> A Little Green
Nogrod -> Aganzir 2
Form -> Form 3
Mith -> Agan 3
McCaber -> Agan 4
Firefoot -> Gwath
Boro -> Nog
Rikae -> Lommy 2
Mac -> Agan 5
TP -> Nog 2
Lottie -> Nog 3
Eomer -> Nog 4
Shasta -> Nog 5
Sally -> Nog 6

DAY TWO VOTING

Lottie -> morm
Nerwen -> Mac
Greenie -> Agan
Lalaith -> Agan 2
Lommy -> Agan 3
Legate -> Green
Caber -> Agan 4
morm -> Mac 2
Agan -> Green 2
Mac -> Agan 5
Firefoot -> Mac 3
Nilp -> Agan 6
Mith -> Rikae
Rikae -> Green 3
Eomer -> Agan 7
Boro -> Agan 8
Shasta -> Lottie

The following can (tentatively) NOT be grouped as Wolves together--

Kath & Form
Rikae & Lommy
Lottie & Nog
Eomer & Nog
Shasta & Nog
Sally & Nog
Morm & Mac
Firefoot & Mac
Legate & Green

That isn't much for now, but we can build on this list every day, and it might be helpful for finding a pack down the road. As someone pointed out, killing off an entire pack would be quite beneficial because it would reduce the Night kills.
