Am I missing some posts two votes for Tum already... I haven't been nearly as active as I normally am in this game... but I think our list of suspects is too long for votes that quick...

I'll be on tonight with more time...

Oh, well. Nerwen was able to get us three of the wolves, anyway. At least you're a known innocent (since there's been no counter-reveal), and that's a great help.

And after all, why would a wolf who had nothing to fear risk losing a Night kill go after someone who was supposed to be protected? What thinkest all you others?
The wolves would have had incentive to go after Nerwen regardless of where they were on her suspicion list.

Did you miss something rather important? Nerwen told us yesterDay tum was a wolf. Could you be the final wolf?

Hmm. I naturally find it suspicious that Morsul rushed to question the votes on tum. Then again, as a wolf he couldn't realistically not have known about tum's predicament. If Morsul is a wolf, I have to wonder if that level of playing dumb would have occurred to him as a wise move. And as Nerwen said, if Morsul's a wolf he's been on the receiving end of some heavy-handed wolf-on-wolf.
That said, I don't want to get too focused on Morsul.

Something else caught by eye, an interesting exchange between Borowolf and Mira of Dol Guldur.

Funny how both of you do what I asked, but take two different attitudes towards me. Mira seizes the opportunity to do a "by the way" I love you. I'm obligated to ask, because this always seems to happen...trying to get me comfortable with you so my guard's down and it's easier to kill me? You know if I die next night and I find out you're behind it, I won't talk to you for a week, right? Glad we understand eachother now.

Going to the gym then I'll legitimately be around for the rest of the Day. ...I think.

If we are going with the cobbler = .5 wolf conversion...if you're the cobbler I won't talk to you for 3.5 days. Does this change anything?)
(bolding added by me)

Now why was it 'ridiculously unlikely', in Mira's words, that Boro would be Night-killed?

Easy. I'm not a wolf, therefore I couldn't be responsible for his Night death.

You know, at this point I'd really like to try out my plan (aka the unter coming forward). The wolf would then avoid them toNight even if we didn't lynch them (the hunter, that is) and it would put us down to a maximum of two kills toNight (assuming the double kill is so far unused and also succeeds) rather than a possibility of four (with the hunter, their two targets, and possibly the second kill).



I'd love to have this be fact, but I want to get everyone else's opinions before we decide what to do. Also, I'm in a rush so Tum's fate may be already sealed. If that's the case then fine, but I think it would be prudent to consider outting the hunter at this point. Anyway, thoughts?

Hmm. It looked as if you were saying Boro would not be Night-killed period. I'm trying to keep all possibilities open, so I thought that should be addressed.

I don't think we should lynch the Hunter toDay. The possibility of hitting an innocent along with tum is too likely.

I would also think the wolves' double kill was likely already used to ensure they got Nerwen, but that's guesswork.

As for the Hunter revealing, it would give us another known innocent, along with Celuien.

Let's see...there are 8 of us left, 2 wolves and 6 innocents.

We know tum is a wolf.

Cel is the Ranger.

If the Hunter reveals now, that gives us 2 known innocents, one known wolf, and 5 unknowns.

Well, I can see the benefits of it. If the Hunter doesn't reveal toDay, xe certainly should toMorrow.
