Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
just popping in to say that I'll be around at the deadline to vote, but a vote for Nerwen is fine with me.

I can't believe other-lover and Ranger haven't stepped out. There's only six people we don't know, right? That would cut it down to four.

It's been really lazy there - so maybe they just haven't been around?

Kudos for our train going past them!

Okay, now they did it:

A Little Green................................Formendacil
Firefoot.........................................K ath
Lalaith........................................... McCaber
Legate of Amon Lanc....................Mithalwen
Macalaure.....................................morm egil

Rune Son of Bjarne.......................Shastanis Althreduin
the phantom.................................Thinlómien
If his vote is for a known wolf.......Boromir88
If her vote is for a known wolf......satansaloser2005


A similar scheme (put the Living column in reverse alphabetical order, swap out Nerwen for Boro, etc) could easily be mocked up.

Question being - do we go with it? And is it safe (i.e. what if they still revise it...)

Mith would be a good vote though, generally speaking (as in, I relatively trust her). But specifically speaking, I am not sure if I would trust her - also, didn't she vote already?

Form's list doesn't make any sense. Say we empower Mith ... what does that tell them? That Legate is innocent or guilty?

And now I'm really worried he'll swap Boro and Nerwen, meaning empowering her will make them think her vote is for a known wolf.

Yeah. That's a total no go - at least for the time being.

The other question then is, is there time.

There's no option for whether the role was good or evil, though. All we can do is tell them who was dreamed, not what the outcome was.

EDIT: xed with Rikae, who said basically the same thing.

Ah, right. Stupid me.

Anyway, since Greenie already voted... and Nerwen doesn't even figure on their list... maybe we should just go with that and be done.

Yeah, our time is kind of up anyway.

I'm thinking of voting Nerwen and being done with it. Chances are she doesn't even make it back before the deadline.

Nope. Empowering Nerwen means we found out Nog's role.

If we had one full wolf pack here I would kind of expect them to have given up/confessed.

Yeah me too. I'd prefer a village victory to the other pack.

Haven't read everything but I think I've got the idea. So -

++ Nerwen

Sorry for being useless today, should have more time tomorrow!

I have nothing useful to say, just wanted to point out that we just tied the Living thread.
