But those secret messages are not a proof of anything... They only prove that you knew who the target was on Night2 (let's be clear, on Night1 the wolves were not allowed a kill and on Night2 they failed because of the ranger, right?)

EDIT: X'd with everyone since my last post...

The hint was there because I was afraid I might die, had planned not to use my self-protect until I was forced to reveal, and I figured it would be a good idea to help the villagers out by letting them know who I protected.

But now that I'm going to be lynched for it...

I am getting ever-increasingly annoyed that it seems I'm going to be lynched my first time as a gifted just because Borowolf has been here longer and is more believeable, though.

A postmortem vengeance is NOT what I had in mind.

I apologize if I seem to be taking this in bad grace, but really...!

Shasta no you're getting lynched because you're a wolf and realized yours (and your partners) days are numbered.

You be quiet. You've done enough.

Well you really did make a mess of it yesterday... even if Mith had been innocent, she was just that--innocent, not Gifted, since Eomer had already revealed. As a Ranger, you really should not have made yourself so incredibly high-profile in the last moments--if indeed you were.

Boromir, on the other hand, has no apparent reason to reveal himself as a Gifted today except for the fact that you--a wolf--would be able to hitch a free ride on his Giftedness were he to remain silent.

That, at least, is how I'm reading it... Your posting since the last post I read (Eomer's sign-off) is making me much more confident in your lupinity.

You know what?

Fine.

If you're so "confident in my lupinity", and you're going to criticize my first-ever performance as a gifted, then go right ahead. Vote me.

I've had it.

I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, but what's needed isn't so much a defence of your decisions, as you've already given a plausible accounting of them, but rather an accounting of Boro's actions that makes clear why he would come out at this point in the game and accuse himself. There was hardly enough suspicion, as far as I can see, to merit coming out into the open as a wolf right now.

Which is not something Boro is going to give, since you're already lynching me, so your willingness to be convinced means nothing.

Okay. Rikae used this tactics once, not so long ago, and made almost everyone nervous as I think no one wants to hurt other's feelings either.

Now please whatever the facts let's not get personal - and I do dislike this as a method of survival if it's that...

I can't help it if it's true and it's how I feel at the moment.

Shastanis Althreduin · 07-13-2008, 04:56 PM

I wouldn't even be this angry if I could see a reason for Boro doing what he's doing. But it seems to me that there isn't one. Like Boro was so confident that he'd be believed over me that he could say whatever he wanted.

This is all coming out so muddled, I don't type well when I'm frustrated. I'll be quiet.

Be that as it may, I hope it will not be taken as overtly personal if I vote:

Given our history after yesterDay, I'd be inconsistent and inconsiderate to do otherwise.

Mind you, if you're innocent, I am very well aware that I may be on the block soon, given that you suspected me yesterDay and put your neck out for it, and given that I've suspected you strongly today, but as far as my (very faulty, often, in this game) logic can take me, Boromir is vastly more likely a candidate for lupinity.

Boromir88 · 07-13-2008, 04:54 PM

Formendacil, I'll be honest, I considered not revealing because I knew Shasta was trying to drag me out. Since I haven't used my protection yet, that was the biggest reason, and thus had to make sure Shasta's last ditch effort of survival didn't work.

Nogrod · 07-13-2008, 04:58 PM

All right then.

++ Shasta

If you're the werewolf I must say I strongly disliked your last defence (not the faked revealment but the emotional act).

If you're true we'll make the wolves pay for this trick - whatever the reason behind it might be...
