Okay. I'm going to bed.

I am authorising phantom to vote for me.

Preferably to create a tie because it's 2.30 and I'm grumpy and I don't trust Nilp one bit and the living don't deserve any information, but really, use it as you deem necessary.

And if something happens and you require my presence, ask phantom for my number. Surely somebody has to be able to text.

That's true.

I won't be surprised at all if there's a wolf or two there trying to be "helpful".
That's also true.

And sorry about that. Well! Given that I said an hour and half ago that I am going to vote in 15 minutes and go to sleep... So much for sleep.

I think that's just it. Nerwen and going. I'll brush my teeth and then vote.

Of course, if they think Nog is innocent and there really is one pack completely dead, they may base a whole lot of nonsense on the assumption one of the rest of us is a wolf.

So that could be bad as well.

Greenie > Nerwen
Nog
> Nerwen (2)
Rikae > Shasta

Left to vote:
the phantom
(Nerwen-"dreamed"? innocent)
Aganzir (hunter)
Legate of Amon Lanc (known innocent)
Firefoot (one of Nerwen's innocents)

Loslote
(wolf)
Macalaure
(wolf)

Lalaith
Rune Son of Bjarne

Even if all four of you vote Nilp, the wolves could vote Nerwen and cause a tie.
Although that's preferable to false information.

If Lal or Rune deliberately fouls things up, well, we'll know the identity of another wolf.

It would be kinda nice, but I am just unhappy - why does it have to be Nilp of all people? Why not even someone who doesn't show up, like Kath? Not that we have much of a choice, and the space to maneuver is really getting thinner by the day.

Messages that are true.

Vote Nilp to say legate is innocent.
Vote Lommy to say TP is innocent.

Saying anything else would be false.

Needs to vote soon:
Legate (innocent)
Agan (innocent)
Lalaith (?)
Rune (?)

Left to Vote:
Mac (Wolf)
Lottie (Wolf)
TP (innocent)
Firefoot (innocent)

Current voting:
Nerwen: 2
Shasta: 1

Currently we're lying to them, and I don't see a way to unlie to them without everyone voting for Nilp immediately (and trusting that either Rune or Lalaith would help with the effort).

Or do the same with Lommy, with the understanding that we wouldn't be telling the village anything they don't already know.

Rikae, strangle him for me, be so kind. (Okay, what is it with this violent vocabulary now, maybe I should have been the special role Boro claims to be.)

I don't trust Nilp to give him vote (especially as some are contemplating voting him and thus it's fairly likely he'll be voting to save his skin, so we would effectively be giving our votes to a random person who just happens to have the most votes after Nilp. THAT MUST NOT HAPPEN!!!).

And it is really possible Nerwen is not going to be back before DL. So our vote would disappear anyway.

I still don't understand why the Ranger and Lover haven't stepped out. Don't they realize there is a 1/3 chance one of them is about to get lynched, and that if there is a last-minute voting frenzy the Dead won't be able to do a thing about it?

And by that last post I'm sort of implying the other Lover and Ranger have already been dreamed. (Eomer/Shasta/Lommy)

Because otherwise this situation wouldn't make sense.

I like the idea of a tie. Shows the living that the dead failed to get their act together 2 out of 3 times.

Confidence-booster.

Btw, we didn't botch the Dead Thread bonus vote the first day, it's just that Nog kept wanting to vote for Lalaith and I didn't, plus I knew we had zero impact on the outcome and zero information to signal.

Basically we didn't agree and I (maybe we) didn't care enough to make it work. The no-empowerment result was rather good in my book.
