Eomer is still talking about a plan but not doing anything to make it happen. Just thoughtless (he shouldn't be, being a live European ) or actually evil?

Good point - he's European, he should know better regarding the dead Europeans (has he been killing us all along, so he could be the last European standing? Okay, with Lommy and Mith and Kath apparently... did I miss somebody else?) Then again, of course we've been *cough cough* sometimes staying up to the DL in the previous days, but heck, it isn't weekend anymore...

Maybe it should just be Nerwen. (I just hope the Wolves don't write something like "if you dreamed Lottie innocent, vote Nerwen!")

Weeeell. There's been a European kill every. single. night. That's statistically more than can be expected. It's got to mean something, huh?

Hahaha that would be almost too perfect!

Again, Nilp was among the first to start talking about a communication plan. However, all he gave was an idea - nothing about the details of carrying it out. It was similar yesterday and it took Firefoot to get it going (why are you dead dear?). I'm wondering if he's trying to appear helpful without committing, or if taking control and making decisions just doesn't come naturally to him.

This makes me giggle.

I devoted much of my available time coming up with elaborates plots to get Wolves-senpai to notice us (including a 'counter'-revelation, a fake Ranger reveal, plotting how to kill everyone and make it a true Lover victory, etc.) as well as wondering why there are two 'special' roles (Is Boro a Wolf? Is Nerwen one? Why does the tablecloth have red stripes?) That's my excuse.

So anyway, Sally did the revealing while I did the dying. Basically we wasted this DAY's lynch on a non-Wolf. (Too bad the self-vote empowerment thing didn't work, but hey, assuming she's not Dead in 72 hours, I can take any information you might have with me.)

EDIT: Crossed with Agan. Hi! o/ Still awake?

Sitting in the metro (um phone what the hell why are you suggesting Manila as my next word?) drinking an energy drink. I regret nothing.

I can't believe phantom was right about the clue in sally's first post.

Granted I started to believe it too half an hour ago when you didn't actually die in the narration.

If/when you go back to the living thread, can you YELL AT THEM NOT TO EVER LEAVE THE VOTE PLAN SO LATE!?!!!!!

Well, we did have history. The first thing we told each other after Kuru told us our roles was that it's destiny.

I'd not recommend Manila right now. It gets to 40 here (that's 104 for the Americans.) It is melting me.

Anyway, for what it's worth, this was the punchline of me asking about the Lovers' gender composition. Kinda lame, isn't it?

Is anyone else likely to be around at DL, besides tp, Mac, Lottie & I? Firefoot?

Would it be reasonable to split the vote between two acceptable choices, in case someone posts a list that would make it bad for us to pick one of them?

I don't want to risk a tied vote in the end, or letting the wolves choose the direction of the vote, but if we have enough innocents around at DL it could be safe. If it's those people I listed, though, we've got two wolves, two Nerwen-claimed innocents, and me. I like those numbers but you probably don't.

Of course, I would always like those numbers, whatever I am.

Never mind anyway, it looks like they're about to post a list. Although I don't know how they plan on giving two options for each - they don't have enough people.

I was going to point out.

Still, it's 1 am and I doubt I'll stick around long enough to see said list.

I would especially be perfect if some WW makes the list.

Any splitting is awful.

For myself, personally, I can stay up for a while yet... but I am pretty sure most are not happy about it... well, I am not either... but unless the living guys up there come up with something brilliant fast, I'd wrap it up.

And I agree that just happily chatting about "we should make a list" makes the posters look helpful, while they actually aren't. (If you ask me, Eomer looked horribly suspicious to me already yesterDay. Or was it even before that? Certainly very shortly after I died.)

I'll give it, what, fifteen minutes and then, Nerwen it is.

Agan being paranoid #537
Do you think Boro could be the seer and Nerwen the special role, and by whatever power invested in her, they've done a clever role swap? That would explain why she's not clear about the dreams and doesn't mind not being protected while Boro made a fake-looking reveal that strongly discouraged the wolves to try and attack him.

I thought that was possible - at first because he might have been hinting to her, but she's given too much info for it to be hints alone (as far as I can see). But maybe part of the special role, yeah.

Are you sure you oughtn't be sleeping? Sounds like very overcombining brain to me

Seriously speaking though, it is possible... actually anyway, I have been thinking about there being some role-swapping involved with the special roles. Also, when was it that Boro said he killed and didn't kill or what? Is there a chance they swapped during the Night when he didn't make the kill (that being the reason why he didn't)? Still, why wasn't there an assassin earlier? Or has our Ranger been protecting people, so we didn't know there should have been more kills? (Speaking of which, where is the Ranger?)

Too many questions anyway... But yeah. Bottom line, it is possible.
