Maybe they're entirely lost without you.

Well, who wouldn't be? But I have faith that they will carry on, cherishing always the time they had with me, holding the memory of me in their hearts, and of course, slaughtering all who stand before them in my name.

Now that you see Legate isn't the Seer, do you still wish for your pack to take credit for that kill, Lottie?

Enjoying reading our thread, Galadriel55?

I suppose technically you're a Wight thus we can't forbid it, but you still can't post.

Re: would Lottie lie about the Night kills? Definitely a possibility. Although her motive once she came out seemed to be to set the village after her rival pack, in which case the village knowing their kills would be helpful. If so, however, she would have to assume that her own pack's kills do not incriminate her remaining packmate(s). That, in turn, would make anyone too closely associated with Runey or Legsy an unlikely packmate for her. That said, I'm not sure how much we can speculate about this given that we can't know whether she told the truth or not. Unless, of course, Mac would care to share his pack's kills?

By the way, is there an obvious reason why Mac and Lottie couldn't be packmates? I'm too lazy to reread.

Also, if Lottie didn't lie, we at least know who's responsible for the dead Europeans.

Did I say that? Huh. Funny how things happen, isn't it? Maybe I killed him. I'd like to have killed him, if only because I'd like to have killed every one of you, and every one in the Living thread, too, but who can remember, really? The blood lust rises, your vision goes fuzzy, and well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out. I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead.

But anyway, whoever I killed...

They had it coming
They had it coming
They had it coming all along
I didn't do it
But if I'd done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong?

Care to share your vision? To satisfy our curiosity, so that we don't have to wait the whole Night for it?

That was a good Day, but it's Night now and we have a new task at hand.

So which are our viable choices for toNight?

Legate then, or do you think Mac needs to be checked? Being safe on the alignment of which one of them would give us (and the Living) most valuable info?

Any others we'd need to consider checking: the phantom, Rikae, myself? I guess that would be the widest reasonable list. (I'm kind of excluding Rune as there is probably very little his alignment could tell us - and kind of think that fits to me as well, but you'll judge that.)

This continuous stuff going in the narrations surely means something, but does anyone have even a decentish idea as to what it could mean? Something to do with the special role? When it is received, when it is fulfilled or ready to use...

Well, "looked all about themselves" = Nerwen's evesdropping, I suppose

Beyond that, nothing really.

As far as which one of us to check-

How likely is the village to assume Nerwen was entirely up front? If they would assume, and if it is true, then a Mac check would be pointless. But if she happens to be up to something, or if the info is simply flawed, and the village worries about it, then we'll want to know Mac and so will they. Of course if Nerwen gets night-killed it will be a moot point- how likely do you think it is that one of the packs will kill off Nerwen?

Basically I do kind of want to know for certain about Mac, especially since Nerwen, Morm, and Firefoot all gave him votes on Day 2. But at the same time I want to maximize our usefulness, and could we be served just as well assuming Mac's guilt for the time being?

Anyway, I will be mostly absent for the next few hours.

I know I was one who said Legate, but now I'm thinking maybe we should make a list of everyone & what knowing that person's role would tell us. Scry the person with the biggest trail. Off the top of my head I feel like it's Legate, but I might be missing something.
