I never said I didn't believe you Glirdan, I just stated it is a bold play. Mith you devil, you!! and Spawn I was more than likely going to vote for anyways.But if you are lying Glirdan, I'll never talk to you again!! (I swear this is a threat!)

I must add, that Glirdy's play would be a perfect goose-play - trying to lift the protection of the nightingale to ensure the duck-kill of the real Owl!

I'm going with Mith. Right now I trust her. And yes it really is mostly because she 'came out' first. I'm hoping she is the Owl, she dreams of Roa and we find out her identity tomorrow.

I also hope Glirdan is the Goose.

Just a gut stuff: Valier was bold enough to vote Nilp to death (as she had done before), and Glirdy made the goose move here - achieving Valier's immeadiate approval? Could it be that easy either?

Why I have to go to sleep as things start to get more than interesting...?

EDIT: X-posted with Glirdy

Nonsense! We shall all see who is telling the truth tomorrow.

Well that depends on the outcome of it... and even with a certain outcome, I'm not sure, we can make it so easily. We should look at Spawn's doings first - and then the nightingale would really have to think about her/his choice.

And I'm just too tired to start to calculate the different possibilities now. Glirdy's argumets seem sound enough, but a good goose would make just those...

No we will not. We shall be knowing something, but not the Truth! Aren't you a bit hasty now?

Unfortunately, I have nothing to disprove this idea. If I were to look at it from your point of view Nogrod (I have a strong feeling that you and morm are probably innocent), I could see how this were to work as well. But like I said, I don't have anything to disprove this theory.
This is either a most clever beastie-tactics I've ever seen, or then genuine. And I'm inclined to the latter... But if this interpretation of mine holds true, why was Valier so jumpy to disregard my hunch - with such bad reasons? (ok., it might also be my bad reasoning, as I can't right now see, how this thing could be settled by tomorrow...)

It could be settled tomorrow if you choose to lynch spawn. Could! Doesn't mean it will be though.

Oh lord. Thanks a lot, guys. I come in from a night out, late, tired, ready to make my vote for Roa which I'd sorted out in my head earlier today anyway, and I find all hell's broken loose.

And nobody's even had the time to count up the votes so far. Suppose I'll have to do it. *tchk*

Well. if we kill Spawn tonight - we'll see Glirdy's truth in an instance, as he said she is a duck... and our ranger would have time to set the guard on him over the night after that had been revealed. And if it's not right, we kill him tomorrow.

That is plain to me.

But if he is a goose? Then he steals our real Owl the protection - and Mith is dead tomorrow. How should we then come to his case? Anyhow, he has lied, and is either a goose or a duck - and thence we should kill him...

At the moment - very hastily thought of - I can see no reason, why not to trust him here. Please help me quick with faults in my thinking, as I have to vote in a minute...

OKay, I'm back, and there are a few things I'd like to clarify.

Firstly, I have made two posts today. TWO. This is my third. How, with two posts could I create mass confusion about Nilp? Secondly, my first post was only partly a rant about Nilp. In part it was answering the accusations by Mith, and in part it was a request to see more from Glirdan. Then Ang answered my comments about Nilp, and seemed to be under the impression that I was trying to insult Nilp's intelligence- which I had to correct. I would never EVER insult a fellow player's intelligence, unlike some people here, who like to throw the word "stupid" around. That's all that it was, and nothing more.

So either Mith or Glirdan is the OWL, and the other is a goose or a Duck. Why do I always suspect the seer as an innocent, but can't for the life of me figure out who they are as a wolf?

Last, I want to apologize to everyone in the game. Some of you have remarked that I haven't been myself, and you're right. I have some deep issues going on right now, and while I can normally keep them from affecting me, I am unable to this game. So, I respectfully request the Diamond remove me from the game tonight along with the lynch. I can't give the game the effort it deserves, and so I will remove myself now.

I will not suicide vote- I detest suicide voting above all other tactics in this game.

I say we lynch Spawn. If she is innocent, then we know Glirdan was lying. If she is guilty, then we will have at least caught a duck.


++Spawn

EDIT: Tired, broken, and crossposted

I'm sorry, just I never realised how stressing being the Owl could be!! I'm also stressed out for other reasons, but let's not get into that...

Nogrod, another reason why I'm coming out with this (other then the sake of the village [which is higher on my priority list right now]) is that I'd like to live to see this horror end. In other words, I want to be here at the end and still manage to pass my time amongst all of you (well, except for spawn and the final Duck and Goose) amiable villagers.

Kath, why on earth would Mith want to come out so early on? I, on the other hand, have been pushed with into this. Think this through first.
