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:

Aganzir..........................................E omer of the Rohirrim
A Little Green................................Formendacil
Firefoot.........................................K ath
Lalaith........................................... McCaber
Legate of Amon Lanc....................Mithalwen
Macalaure.....................................morm egil
Nogrod..........................................Ne rwen
Rikae............................................. Nilpaurion Felagund
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.

Yeah, but not which, so it still might work. But what in the name of all...

I feel like Morm's avatar right now.

You know if I get bored tomorrow, I'm going to make a "Best of Dead Thread" post with all these quotes.

Except we couldn't convey it to the village anyway, not with Form's chart, so it doesn't actually matter.

Even if they took it that way it wouldn't make much of a difference as there is very little they could speculate with it. And btw. if the thought was that we voted someone if an innocent, it would actually be true also.

And also. It's better they think I was checked and found innocent / guilty - whichever way they are going to interpret it, than someone more recent of whom they'd have lot more "trails" to read then possibly wrong (of whom they might make a lot problematic conclusions) or the wolves might steer those interpretations.

But I mean yes. It is late and they should understand this didn't work this time.

Let's hope so. And let's hope they don't spend half tomorrow talking about whether we did send them a message or didn't. Geez.
