It still might be pre-mature, and especially for Finrod. If Finrod reveals all they have to do is send that bat. Where if Finrod stays hidden there's and he does make a successful protection, there's a greater possibility (2 out of 3) he could take out one with him. Our only offensive weapon now besides the lynching is a successful protection by Finrod. He can't protect himself so the only real advantage would be to give Luthien an extra day, but we'd lose the chance of a Finrod successful protection/kill.

Luthien, it depends. There's been 3 dreams so far? If she knows 2-3 innocents (currently living) or a baddie plus an alive innocent...maybe. Also, if Luthien would reveal, theoretically she'd get another day (Finrod's protection). Oh well that should be left up to Luthien.

I don't like Sally's generic feelings of uneasiness about me. There's nothing to say to I 'feel like a rat.' I have to be doing something to make you uneasy, so how? There is always a describable reason to feel 'uneasy' so out with it already. And this is I don't get...

and while I don't want to kill him just to find out what he is I'm not going to complain if he ends up dead at the end of the Day, because I keep smelling a Kent....erm, rat.
If you suspect me than suspect me already. Don't beat around the bush 'well I don't want to kill him but it wouldn't bother me if he did die today.' You know the compliment sandwhich? One good thing, one bad, and back to a good? Well this is a roast sandwhich designed to put me on a spit and cook me over an open flame. You suspect me with broad vague feelings of uneasiness, all but say in a couple words you think I'm innocent, but then back to some generic suspicion.

If you have an issue with my approach to this game so far, than say it and I would think you are more innocent. But it's not that you say you wouldn't complain about my death at the end because I 'smell a rat.' To which I respond, we are after wolves and a bat, not a rat and if you are trying to imply I'm Grima go search somewhere else.

I am working on a Formendacil analysis now. Am I the only one really searching for people, or are we just going to continue to go back and fourth about the bonus vote stuff? Because if that's the case I might as well stop trying now.

I would like people to tell me what they think regarding my comments about something Brinn said...here (Edit: my post 479, for some reason the hyperlink thingy isn't working for me). Do you see it? Is it a mountain out of a mole hill?

Good. I thought of doing it a few times but always found the time wanting... as it will take some time.

I do appreciate it as I'm very much at loss with Form anyway and would love to see someone else making an analysis of him & seeing some hard evidence gathered for viewing & comments made on that.

I don't know but it is like 3.20 AM here and I'm off to bed - and will hope to wake up in the morning to see the DL and vote. (and then go back to sleep to be sure as it's Saturday...)

It probably is that Brinn refers to a game where tp and Boro basically sacrificed Aganzir to advert the wolves from picking the real seer at Night - or something like that; I don't remember it too well and I have no time to go back to search for the details of the incidence.

But the similarities between the two scenarios are scarce and thin indeed - and if Brinn actually suggested the similar thing would have happened here, it looks quite frivolous indeed. That was far from it!

I mean that was werewolf-history in the making when it happened. A perfect ploy to distract the wolves with a high risk two innocents trusting each other, and they managed to marshall it through. And surely Firefoot probably even doesn't know that kind of trick has been performed.

So Brinn was overstating that one.

But what does it mean? That's another question and one which I just can't stay awake trying to answer.

I'm back and will get started with some serious reading now.

I did want to say that I agree with Kent's analysis at least as far as Finrod goes.

I'm still not sure about the Seer. I think if the Seer does know the identity of a wolf we kinda need that at this juncture...however, I have a feeling the Seer doesn't.

Greenie: I'm prejudiced about her today due to the fact that I see where she's coming from re: Nog. I don't feel comfortable saying anything about her due to that, other than that I suspected her yesterday. (Which reminds me, I need to answer her question).

Kent: Smart cookie. Other than that, no real read. The only interesting thing I'd noted was all the talk about his newbie status and see where that got Kuru?
