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.

Morm has two votes now. He'll have to organize a counter-wagon.

It'd be really nice if it's against Form.

REMAINING VOTERS:

Formendacil
satansaloser2005
McCaber
Boromir88
Eomer of the Rohirrim
mormegil
Shastanis Althreduin
Mithalwen

VOTED:

Kath -> Morm
Lommy -> Morm (2)

Does anyone have a list of which way the remaining voters are likely to vote? That might be helpful if the leanings are strong enough.

Need to think before voting though. Numbers.

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

Right- three known Wolves could mess things up. Technically cannot count on either Rikae or Nog.

Firefoot and I WILL be here at the finish. Nilp will be (or I will be very cross with him). That gives us three. Then we need either Legate or Agan to give us knowns equaling unknowns (and the innocent of Rikae/Nog will swing it our way).

(xpost: didn't see Nog vote)

Well you can count on me. I already voted - and am going to bed.

My last question just is: do you want another vote for Lommy or not?

Three wolves there, is my guess - both packs still represented. If there's no lynch today but two kills tonight, the village may be at 5-3 tomorrow. Which is not good, even if the 3 are in different packs.

I wouldn't bet on Lalaith not appearing (not betting on her appearing either, but let's not assume too much).

I think a second Lommy vote won't hurt even if a change of plans is needed so just to be on the safe side -

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.

You're banned too, remember that.

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