To start: no, Fea. If Hakon had dreamed of you and found you innocent, he would not have listed you as a possible bad guy. He would have left you out of a bad guy list. He would have tried to hint at your innocence. And the same reasoning that says he would dream you also applies to Boromir. The fact the your insisting on this makes you look far worse to me.

To continue: Having seriously considered the death of Lari, I have an idea. You see, we are hunting wolves, so when we see a villager over-react to suspicion, we think wolf. The wolves, however, are hunting something else all together, and there is another reason a villager may over-react to suspicion. I believe the wolves thought Lari was the ranger. Which means they chose killing her rather than let her live and gamble on lynching her.

To finish: where is everyone? We can't afford to lose to quietness. Those people who haven't shown up yet really need to participate. I'll be around for maybe another hour and a half, and then I have to go.

I guess that's as good an explanation for it as anything else.

Pitch said he would probably not be around toDay. I do wish Lottie would appear, and explain why in one post she calls Nerwen 'guilty', and in the very next apparently believes her innocent.

I'm here. Getting caught up. Shouldn't take long - we're still on the same page.

Fea, what logic possibly draws you to the conclusion the Hakon did not dream Boro? He told us to not worry about the bear, then he listed possible bear suspects, one of whom was the actual bear. You're grasping and it's not fooling anyone.

About the Nerwen confusion: I honestly have no idea. I didn't realize I'd added her in that first list. I was still sorting my thoughts out. That first list really wasn't very good - I forgot McCaber and included Nerwen. Major oops. Sorry.

EDIT: xed with Roa.

And what's the point of speculating Hakon's possible dreams anyway as there is nothing conclusive - or even things that could be read as hints in any half-reliable way?

Even if you say that Hakon's posts are not conclusive Fea, I don't understand why are you continuosly referring to them as possibly showing you're innocent? Or at least that we should take them as pointing towards your innocence? Or to just only underline the possibility that they might point to your innocence if read on the "right angle"?

Isn't that a bit deliberate?

And still, looking at what happened actually suggests a different interpretation.

Wait - so first you say there is no point in speculating, then you say there's a different interpretation? Care to clarify?

OK, listen up Village. I have an important announcement.

You should not vote for Fea. Repeat, you should not vote for Fea. Why? Because she is the most wonderful, lovely, fascinating, intoxicating and cute - yes, Roa, cute - creature that has ever brightened the thread of a Werewolf game with her presence. So, just leave her alone, or you'll have me to answer to.

Also, because she is not a Werewolf. She is a Lover. How do I know? Because I am the one who Loves her. And, should she be lynched toDay, then I shall wreak most terrible vengeance on the one that I consider most responsible for her death.

Oh, and Wolves. Should you think of attacking one of us toNight, then you will be one Wolf down tomorrow. I have one of you pegged and I am pretty sure that I have at least one other.

All we want to do is be together. We don't care who else wins, whether Villagers or Werewolves. So just leave us alone and we'll leave you alone. OK?

Alright, then SPM, care to enlighten us? We (the village) lose if lynch an innocent toDay and toMorrow. We are cutting it very thin, and you can't count on the wolves to not try to kill you. You are, after all, a known innocent now, and so is Fea. And the wolves can't have that around.

So if you think you've found a wolf, it's in your best interest to share with us who and why.

And I still think Hakon dreamed of Boromir.


Edit: crossed with Fea down

Once upon a cold November, while I ventured to remember,
The many quaint and curious demands of the mods of yours--
When I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my iChat door.
"'Tis my Nienna," I muttered, "tapping at my iChat door--
telling me to rhyme some more."

Okay...that changes some things.

So now that I have a good chunk of time to play with here, let's see what we can find.

After several people get suspicious of him for his vote for Nog, McCaber backs off and says he looks good. Okay, that could be reasonable. BUT it could also be a wolf trying to get out of trouble.

EDIT: xed with Nogrod

Okay, let's take a look at the voters yesterDay...

Voting Greenie:
Roa, Nogrod, Spm, Fea

Voting Fea:
Pitch, Inzil, Nerwen

Voting McCaber:
Lottie, Brinn

Voting me:
McCaber

Not voting:
Sally.

Now there are four wolves left. How and where would you think they'd like to position themselves?

And there are seven innocents in there.

Maybe... even if I think we only waste time here...

There is no point in speculating whether someone was hinted at in Hakon's posts as being innocent - and thus look at that someone as an innocent because of that. To that end Hakon's posts say too little about anyone. But the interpretation that Boro saw himself being dreamt of - and therefore he went for the kill looks a lot more believable.

And anyway. Even if someone says that it is not conclusive that the Boro-dream scenario is true (it isn't conclusive after all), it doesn't make the other interpretation any more plausible as there clearly is nothing to go for there...

Does it sound reasonable now?

~'~

Whoa Spm!

That kind of changes things...

Yes. I was just wondering why you said there was a different interpretation - without saying what thay interpretation was.
