Yes, he will. But he needs only to post or vote to be in game toDay anyway...

I'm not really all that surprised that Durelin was the one killed - and it was all the more likely if the other ranger had protected her last night and if the wolves knew it from the cobbler. Leaving only one ranger left alive will just make it easier for them to keep on getting a kill at night. It's disappointing, but not surprising.

So who's left? I don't see any point in wasting effort trying to prove Ang and Boro aren't really gifted. That leaves:

Farael - I'm not sure about him - no definite suspicions or anything; I'm fine with letting this play out as to whether he posts today or not. I'm not inclined to concentrate on him, not just because of that but because there are others higher up on my suspicion list.

Rikae - Strange as it may sound, I'm actually not as sure of her as I thought I was. I keep going back and forth as to whether I think she's a wolf or not, which is why I was glad that the vote went to Lal and not to her yesterDay. My vote could still go to her pretty easily toDay.

Thinlómien - I hope I haven't been trusting her primarily because she's been trusting me. Some of the things she has said look very planned, in retrospect - the same thing that made me suspect Lal yesterDay. I'd like to believe she's innocent, but there are so few suspects left that I'm not ready to write anybody off.

Kath - Lal's being guilty has made the argument against her much more convincing. Her lynching might not be a bad idea.

Mithalwen - She's probably the least suspicious of these last four and the least likely to get my vote unless someone can make a convincing case against her.

Just as a heads-up: I won't be getting home until about a half-hour before the deadline, so I may cast an early vote tomorrow morning just to be safe. Hopefully though I'll have enough time to read through the rest of the Day's discussions so as to make a more informed vote... but you won't be hearing much from me toDay as far as analysis goes.

[Farael]

Farael is an ordo, even though you won't believe him.

Farael can't really be bothered to pay much attention to this game, he has made a mistake and signed up for one werewolf too many, and he just can't read up on everything.

So guys, I'll leave it to you. I am an ordo, and I want to stay in-game because with so few players left, an ordo leaving gives the wolves a bit of an edge... If you want me to quit, I just will... but I'm an ordo and I'd advise you to keep me around so that, at the very worst, I'll help the villager to wolf ratio.

Having said that,

++Loomy is a wolf.

[Thinlómien]

Based on that last post I think Farael is an ordo... if he's not, he's a deceitful and non-fairplay wolf... I mean, using non-existent real life excuses as a tactic is something I really dislike. I'm assuming he's busy as he says.

Of others...

Ang and Boro are gifteds.

I'm innocent.

Mith feels so innocent.

So: Rikae, Firefoot and Kath. Which two are wolves? The problem is that the remaining one might be our ranger, so we have to be careful.

~*~

I don't know what to think of these three ladies. I will probably go through their posts once more. (Or twice more, or thrice more, or... anyway, you get the picture. )

Rikae's the one who's been troubling me the most. Does her shameless attack on Durelin prove she's a wolf who was pretty desperate yesterday? Or does it prove she's an innocent since that would be too bold for a wolf? I don't know... And was she a wolf desperately trying to save a fellow (Lal) to preserve the right to two kills per night? Or again, is she a very misguided innocent? Would this be too bold for a wolf? Or would a wolf trust that she can do what she'd like to, and double-bluff will act as a cover?

Firefoot... I used to be quite certain of her innocence, but I'm not anymore. Because, obviously, if Rikae is innocent after all (and Mith and Farael are, as I assume), she has to be a wolf. Her opportunist campaign against Ang on Day2 was a bit weird, and certainly her little slip yesterday too... On the other hand, if she was a wolf, why would she have voted morm on Day2? Why wouldn't she have just voted Dury earlier and vanished? Her own life was at stake back then; quite many people suspected her. A wolf-Firefoot would know that she'd be blamed for voting an innocent either way, so why to risk her life, even slightly? Of course she could be bluffing, but would it be worth it from a wolf's point of view?

Kath then... The only clear thing in my picture about her is that she's silent. Very quiet. I'd love her to speak up more, I have the feeling she's been slipping under the radar. I used to have a feeling she's innocent, and I'd love to realise from what did it actually come from, and is it still relevant.

~*~

I'm pretty confused and must unfortunately vote sometime pretty soon, and won't probably be back (unless I manage to drag myself to a public library before the deadline. I'll maybe do it if I leave the school library so early that it really makes a difference - the public libraries close quite early).
(See admin thread about my relative quietness toDay.)
