I think that's rather close to 'getting clues from the narrative', I don't think LMP would be that forward. So no, really.

Morm's last post yesterDay was really funky, I would probably have jumped on that toDay. Or, poked at it or something.

'kay. ToDay is likely the first day that the Wolves know who each other are. So, this is almost like a Day One, only with more to go on.

I suspect this "alpha wolf" could have been Morm. His posting yesterday was almost, well, I don't know how to say it, "Desperate to take it somewhere"? "Relief at finally knowing something concrete"? Umm, darn.

Did they kill Kath to make Morm look guilty (not Wolfishly guilty but "oh no, poor Kath I wish I hadn't said that, I'll regret this for the rest of my innocent life" gulty)?



And allow me one silly moment -

Surely, we've been more active than that!

More silliness

Really? Can I just say two words to you: Nogrod. Valier.

It seems to me that this is exactly what Roa did with people she had a tendency to bicker with - she got them onside by cursing them. So, another reason I'm suspecting you still, Jenny....not to mention That Mistress Diamond.
But they bicker with everybody...

Maybe my attempt to rescue my pride is completely off and I wasn't picked because Roa thought I'd be a bad wolf.

Gah! Oddwen: it's not 'getting clues from the narrative' at all. It's noting that the rules were modified mid-game and wondering what could be so significant as to allow for that.

So few people are willing to entertain this notion. Why?

Because I can't bring myself to think that LMP would do anything to compromise the integrity of the game whether for balance or not. To change the rules in the middle because one team might lose? *shakes head*

Suit yourself.

I'm going to go with one of my theories and say that Diamond is innocent. If she was a wolf and was wondering whether I was the Seer or not, because of the Caran thing, she wouldn't have allowed her team to take that chance (considering Kath was an apparent 'random').

Oh, and all this talk of so-and-so being helpful, we're as helpful as our natures allow us. Some people call huge analyses helpful; I don't because I can't make too much sense of a huge number of posts presented in such a way. We all find different things helpful; and everyone, villager and wolf alike, wants to appear helpful.

Ok, that looks bad and it's not at all what I mean. I've modded a game before and I could tell you about all the things that went wrong in that. I'm not questioning anyone's integrity, all I'm doing is suggesting that something was altered in the interests of overall fairness in the game, and to keep the WW spirit alive.

Issues of fairness collide. What if the wolves were killed off on a technicality? How fair is that for the EW? The game is forever evolving.

But I didn't at all mean to offend. So sorry if anyone took it personally, ok?

I said before that I thought we were dealing with night four onwards wolves. But here's an alternative scenario that's worth thinking about.
Night one: Nogrod, Naria.
Night two: ?
Night three: ?
Night four: Valier, ?
I now wonder if Roa cursed Valier after Valier first went after her, and then told Val to just carry on.
Night five: Alcarillo (because he voted for her off the short-list the day before?)
Night six: Mormegil

So now I'm thinking maybe one night two, one night three and one night four wolf. Sigh. It would be so much easier to have no original wolves left, much less material to go over.

I've got to go now, won't be back until after deadline.

Eomer, you've been damn convincing today and if it was anyone else I'd believe them. But you, my dear, are notoriously King Bluff.
Here's my reasons:
a. You shouldn't be alive, as I said first thing.
b. You fit the bill of the wolf that heeded Roa's call to vote Valier ahead of her.

++EOMER

ToMorrow, if we all live, I want to look more carefully at Diamond. The Roa-squabble theory, you know....
