Lommy: "WHAT THE HELL the Dead thread has 1,154 posts!!!?!!"

Anyway I'm confident she'll vote soon because she's tired. Fingers crossed. I don't dare to prompt her.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Wholeheartedly in favor of empowering Lommy at this point. Hopefully she votes for morm soon like she just said she probably would.

Agreed.

Do you think we have the numbers (for sure) or do I poke Legate to come and make a vote (he went to bed some twenty-30 minutes ago and I promised to give him a push if there was a clear voting-chance)?

I suppose that depends on what happens later when more people have voted. Knowing the village (and the wolves' careful scheming), they'll probably manage to muddle it up so that our vote somehow ties it!

You thought I was exaggerating for the sake of humor when I made fun of the Living earlier- about discussing for no reason and holding their votes...

Nope. Not exaggerating. They're really that bad.

So to be sure 5 votes is needed.

Nerwen is not granted. How about Nilp?

Rune might of course apear but probably not...

Legate can be awaken to vote if needed.

So we could have 3-4 European votes for Lommy. If we vote and leave, that leaves four of you (phantom, Rikae, Firefoot and Nilp) with two known wolves, as Nerwen, Rune and Lalaith are unlikely to turn up.

If you decide to go for Lommy in the end, all good.

If however an extra vote for morm would tie the lynch, we shouldn't vote as then the wolves could jump on our Lommy vote and tie it.

So should we abstain then?

Or give her like one European vote to be on the safe side?

edit: xed since my last

I just read yesterDay's and last Night's dead thread
I start to understand why all the dead I've seen in RL (Agan, Nog and Legate) have been maniacally laughing with their laptops/ smartphones all the time. Dad thread? Mith becoming the phantom? The phantom collecting people's phone numbers? ALSO FYI MAC PENGUINS ARE COOL. (Literally probably, har har.) Rikae's wolf cupcake? Morm banning the innocent from the 'Downs? Lalaith's reminisces of murderous rockhopper penguins?

Nice to have been the village champion. Although genuinely sorry for taking my time to vote! I was worried every Day about the village not giving the dead thread guidelines early enough but I never thought whom the living vote would make such a big deal.

Super busy today, but I'll check in later. At the very least I can skim and vote.

Heh- I would certainly text you if I could. But despite my jokes, that remains out of the realm of possibility (no texting on my plan- this is literally the first time I've ever wanted it).

Though perhaps between Nog, Legate, and Agan there could be some sort of texting chain worked out?

Yeah I already texted her to tell her she made me laugh.

If you have a data plan (or wifi) though, we use whatsapp. All of us except Legate I think (who's just lazy).

I feel kind of dumb sitting here refreshing the threads and posting nonsense while waiting for Lommy to finish talking about Boro and vote and go to bed.

I'm imagining it goes like this:

Lommy: "Done! I'm going to sleep!"
Agan: "Oh cool me too, in a sec. There!"
Lommy: "Hmm...?"
*in the morning*
Lommy: "Oh look they empowered me! Wait does this mean... Form is a wolf!? Wait! It also means... Agan waited all night just for me!?"

Except in truth she's probably going to think something like, "Form is a wolf!? Agan is stupid for taking this game so seriously and staying up so late, there she is, still sleeping!"

She just went to brush her teeth though. Soon, soon...

If she'd just vote.

Anyway how about us eurooppalaiset vote for her, and those of you able to stick around longer hold it in case something drastic happens?

Also if I had to guess I'd say McC is our remaining wolf.

It could be a deal as she's most clearly going to vote anyway - so no vote lost there.

Btw. my internet just started going slower and slower, and then died a moment ago, but happily a restart made it alive again...

I could poke Legate then - but not if you only then start to discuss whether to vote Lommy or not.

What is a deal?

Do we know who Lommy is voting for? Has to be either Morm or Form to make sense.

No. Voting Lommy means Form is a wolf.

It would be a nice extra if she voted morm though...

I'd love for her to vote Morm and then we all stack and thus signal Form.

(xpost: yep, absolutely agree)

Am I allowed to feel special now?

Anyway I think we can vote for Lommy, honestly if the village messes it up it's their problem at this point.

Yeah our wifi is down as well.

If Lommy votes for a wolf then yes we'll empower her.
