I have to agree too. Like I said earlier, I think Ka was a relatively safe kill for the wolves. However, there's nothing to be gained by not looking into her death, either, is there?

Well, I wanted to point out that it looked like Sally was preparing to frame somebody on shaky grounds. It raised my eyebrow, anyway.

I don't know what this might mean, but looking at the Day 1 record, Aganzir didn't have to vote Nerwen to save herself; Nerwen already had 5 votes to Aganzir's 4 before Aganzir voted. Is there another reason, maybe, that she voted Nerwen?

So if I understand correctly we have 4 wolves and 1 EW. How many good guys? A GW, seer? (I assume a new one was selected), no ranger and a hunter?

The problem with THE Ka and claiming her a safe kill is there are many safe kills...I would actually be one too based on my activity up to this point. Sorry about that.

I think it is important to pay attention to Rikae and Legate as they are both acting rather oddly. If any of them are acting 'normal' it would be Rikae as she is fairly rash and can be a bit abrasive at times...but Legate, that man must be very tired or something major is up with him.

Honestly, I've only skimmed most of the posts but amd caught up for this day's of posting. I am terribly sorry about this.

No I'm not. I am "less threatening".

I forbid you, Di, to look at THE Ka's posts. She and her family are just... not our sort of people. Might be a bad influence on you.

Ai, Mommy, don't hit me.

But yes, yes indeed... and the fact that Aunt Roa married in that family (holds nose) explains soooo much.

Speaking of which, where is Roa. And phantom (okay, I did read the discussion thread, but it's in GMT and I can't be bothered to convert). I so want to see them going at it again.

Rikae is off the wall completely and I don't know what to make of it.
Hah, about face much?

Ummm, did you happen to read the posts that this came after? Rikae was odd but a bit more normal than Legate up until she went off on that triple post monstrocity...grasp at straws much Di?

As I said yesterDAY, it may be that Agan feared that some of those who didn't vote yet (me, Lhuna, Kath, tp) might show up and vote for her. We can safely rule out tp (since he has thought of voting for Nerwen himself) and myself (since I haven't showed up yet then.) So I believe Lhuna and Kath were innocent on DAY 1.

Le problem est a smart EW (or one who reads my posts) might use this information to this advantage . . . one of them, at least, could have been turned . . .

Silmaril An elaboration on the Nightly action

There is now a more specified ruling that makes the Nightly actions quite precise (it is written in the rules-section in the beginning of the thread).

If there are two kills during a Night the EW will need to state which is the order of those kills (kill#1 and kill#2) to ease any confusion or situations where the result could be argued to and fro based on different interpretations of the actions.

The wizards knew this during last Night (the new ruling was not needed last Night though ).

Also if / when the Wizards will duel and thence leave the game the same rule applies to the remaining wolf-pack if there are four or more of them eg. they have two kills.

Keep on having fun!

Pipe

Rikae looks a bit jumpy toDAY. Grief? Or something sinister?

I mean, insisting that villagers not check Ka's posts? Insisting that we look away from the Roa-Fantine row? And insisting that they couldn't possibly be scryable?

Are you trying to hide something? A fang perhaps, or a wand of yew?

I'm interested to see what happens in toDay's installment of the Roa/phantom feud. I haven't been able to get much out of their arguments, but I have noticed that while tp is easier to like because he's funny, he also seems to take the goodwill of the village for granted. I feel like his posts require us to take a lot of things on faith. No, I can't think of any examples, that's just the impression I get. I'll go read through yesterDay and see if I can find something a little more concrete than my feelings to back this up, though.

I suggest we DON'T focus on Roa or tp. No wizard in her right mind would scry either of them, anyway.

Yeah, well, I looked back through and I can't find whatever it was that gave me that impression, so...never mind. You're probably right about those two anyway.

Actually, I'm curious now that I think about it: why don't you think we should consider Roa and tp today? Too much attention unhealthy for them? Or what?

Unless the wizard in question scried them on Night1... which is a plain obvious fact and makes me a little wary of you, Rikae. You accuse people of overlooking facts or miselading people yet what you do resembles the behaviour you criticise quite a lot...

She's a wolf and Nerwen was going to die anyway. She couldn't think of a better vote and decided to jump on the wagon. Besides, if everybody who did not vote had turned up and voted her, she would have been lynched. So she was also kind of making sure, I'd say.

Anyway, friends and relatives, I'm going to sleep now. It's almost 4am here and I'm gradually getting more and more slow-witted (or slower-and-slower-witted? bah, this English is really killing me tonight). Aieeeeeeeee, it looks like sun's rising. I'd really better go. Good night or whatever time of the day you guys are having.

(I accidentally typed "quoth" above in the second brackets. Quoth the Penguin "Nevermore"...)
Anyway, nope. I am not misleading. Roa and tp would be bad scry choices even then - too likely to be unscried, dreamed or lynched. Too risky.
