I like your idea, though. Kuru, make it happen!

That's how I like you, Mac! You should do some... "bloodvote" or something... Agree on Boro's kill and PM it to Kuru.

And since I was just asked by Lommy what is a Megazord, here is an explanation. These youngsters and their lack of classical education these days!

Ooo, how interesting. Now Boro can take a shot at Sally or Shasta and leave Mith and Kath to see if competing Wolf-accusations will form.

Unless of course with the Wolves Dead Boro will stop killing?

That was his opinion of what would happen after a Wolf-lynch. We'll see if he in fact refrains from targeting Mith or Kath...

[the phantom]

Ha ha, Nog, that is fantastic!

Scenario 1:

Boro kills Shasta, and everyone thinks a Wolf is still left. Kath or Mith gets lynched. Boro kills Sally. Game over. Victory Werebear.

Scenario 2:

Boro gets blocked by Shasta and no one knows what to do. Mith gets lynched. Boro kills Sally. Final day debate between Kath and Boro with Shasta deciding. In that scenario we will have had a chance to signal the Living that McCaber is a Wolf. Boro lynched.

Scenario 3:

Boro attempts to kill Kath but his kill ability only works on Wolves. The next day he says the Wolf is Mith or no one. Mith lynched. The requirements of his role satisfied (he now knows there are no Wolves remaining), he can stop killing and the game can end with a village victory.

Scenario 4:

The Living see our "88" hint and lynch Boro. We laugh.

Every post I've ever made has the arrow (except maybe in the RPG forum).

We can still empower with the "88" thing. If we're silent the first HALF of the day, surely that's long enough for them to notice that we're silent and the post count is stuck on a significant number.

We do not have to do it for long. But throughout part of the Day? Before something starts happening? Like really, we do not have much to talk about, do we? We know what we need to do, more or less, and... that's about it?

But we of course do not have to keep it too long, people could notice it even now. (Of course the best indicator would be if somebody noticed that and said it on the Living thread... then we would know...)

Now that would certainly be something, but no. I do not think we want to go there.

Oh yes, I see. Still, my question was: if I may ask, why?

A bit like having a third signature (siggy, avatar, arrow).

Also makes my posts easier to find when I scroll.

Will the wolves let it stay at 88? And do you really think the living are that observant? (I don't have a better idea so with a shot but I'm skeptical.)

I would think the WWs want to be a part of history as well, right? And as for observance, yeah, who knows, but it's our best shot (or one of them. We can of course aim to empower somebody toMorrow, the best would be if they did the self-vote thing and let us decide... but it's dangerous, because Boro would totally mess it up if he's allowed to).

We can do that even if we try the 1588-replies tactics. We'll have several hours then to discuss whom to empower after our shutdown is over.

Boro is no friend of the wolves - on the contrary: he's the individual who took quite many of them off the game and helped their downfall.

Also, if we're really going to try this it would be such a cool ending for the anniversary game they'd probably like to be included with it.

Of course the last ten posts or so before we shut down would need to be one-liners like: "Do not post anything on this thread"

And the 1589th post would then explain it in short and explicit terms why no one should post before hour x.

The bolded part is quite important - and with the narrations talking of itching and then more scratching and then finally getting over it it might go also the way that Boro has itched from a wanna-be werewolf (hair growing) into an actual one.

That was the thing I've been thinking during the last Day or so. It really sounds a bit like that.

In any case, my personal hope is that with the game being so much close and in endgame, the Living will come up really fast with some transparent scheme of us voting and so on.
