A thought before I go (got a few minutes extra time since my friend is late):

can somebody count if toDay would be a Day for reveals? If both seer and ranger revealed themselves and their information, we could have 3-6 known roles. Of course there is the danger of false reveals, somebody should also count if we can afford it.

Will be back to see what happens! Exciting.

I think there's no doubt we'll see a reveal today, but I guess people want to see some reactions to yesterday's craziness first. It's my belief that yesterday was close to perfection for the villagers. I'm very glad this Heir business is out of the way.

Me too, but I still hoped to see more people posting here...

I'm popping in just now, other stuff to do came up, but I'll appear sometime still...

I tend to agree, Legate, but this happens sometimes.

I'm pretty suspicious of you, by the way.

But there's only one person whom we should lynch today and I've named him already, former packmate of mine - I wish Loslote had kept her sight on you!

Gracious, I haven't talked yet toDay... Can't say I've got much to contribute, though. My brain is rather a jumbled mess at the moment, but to gather what brief thoughts I can...

I'm finding my first instinct is to agree with Eomer that Inzil feels a tad slippery. Odd as this may sound, he just doesn't seem suspicious enough to not be suspicious. By which I mean, he doesn't seem to be throwing enough blame around. Which may just be coincidence, or may be an attempt to get by under the radar. And by "blame" I mean "large concentrations of suspicion". He's flung little bits and pieces of "it could be you" around at nearly everyone, but, even looking back through everything, I can't find any substantial claims.

Legate has spent some time analyzing myself and Nessa and come to a middle-of-the-road, maybe-or-maybe-not conclusion on both of us. This seems all well and good to me, if a bit unnecessary. But I suppose someone's got to be thorough, now that Nog is gone.

Greenie is very quick to vote for Boro. "Hrmmmmm" is all I have to say about that.

I'll think about other villagers in a bit, in order to gain some ideas for tomorrow; but for now it can be only:

Wilwa - shouldn't be overlooked
Boro - quite suspicious, as usual, but not convinced
Elronhubbard - shouldn't be overlooked mk 2
Greenie - I think she's probably innocent
Inzil - obviously a wolf and must die in a gruesome fashion
Lommy - it would go against tradition to argue against her lynching
Legate - I am suspicious - reminds me of Inzi, a lot
Nessa - pure and innocent

Okay, this is starting to get at least a bit more active, though in a rather random way, so to say...

I must say some things are shaping rather curious, especially the Boro-Lommy exchange, each basically using the same arguments against the other. Lommy to me seemed all the time like her generally innocent self, with Boro I don't know, there really is not much what he said apart from this sort of several-day long crusade.

Now I am really thinking about the possible Seer reveal. I have to go and vote in probably a short time, as I want to get some sleep. I could vote Boro, although there are reasons why I am unsure to do it straightaway, and he probably is not around more so that we could read anything from him... or I could vote Zil, who already has one vote too.

And where is Nessa?

EDIT: x-ed. There.

No one else thinks Lommy's over reaction to my random and poorly reasoned vote is the mark of an unsure wolf? Why worry so much about an early vote I said needed to be random because I have little time available through the rest of the week?

It may be better to lynch me at this point, because I know I'm being no good to anyone other than being a giant and most unusual questionmark. I've been able to do no thorough reading or thinking of any kind (honestly I've read nothing from day 2 other than some plan was made to lynch the hunter who then chose wrong and killed Nogrod. If anyone can, read who pushed that idea, as it backfired). I've considered tipping out, as I haven't been able to play the way I usually like to and give Shasta my best effort. But that won't do much good either and I figure as long as I can still post at least once a day and cast a vote, than there'd be no point to bow out.

So, if I'm being a terribly migraine causing question mark that you need to figure out, go for it and lynch me sooner rather than later. I still say Lommy very very over-reacting to my vote yesterday.

K, so where we are at now: 3 Gifteds, 3 Wolves and 3 Ordos. Right? If both the Seer and Ranger reveal (Hunter revealing is bad), and the Seer has had 3 dreams, hoping that they are all still alive, then we would know 2 of the Gifteds and have a couple more known innocents and maybe a wolf. Then whoever the Ranger protected last Night, obviously innocent. So yeah, out of the 9 players we could know the identity of up to 6 of them. That could be very good. Now we'd likely lose one of them toNight, but the wolves would have a tough time figuring out who is being protected, unless their kill choice from last Night narrows it down for them. We could potentially still have our Seer tomorrow for another dream, though, which takes away some of that risk.

But yeah, false reveals are very possible, and oh so annoying. But again, doesn't take long to figure out who's lying, so it could be worth taking the chance.

Personally, I think we could afford it, though I wouldn't suggest both the Seer and Ranger revealing. Maybe the Seer first (especially if they have a wolf), unless all of their dreamed people are dead (though they'd have to be pretty unlucky for that to happen), then they shouldn't. Once the Seer is out we'd really want to have our Ranger still hidden in order to keep the Seer protected. So yeah, not both at the same time. Maybe Seer toDay (potentially) and Ranger tomorrow?

Sorry if some of that didn't make any sense, I can only afford to take a couple minute break before I get too distracted, so I wrote this fairly fast. I'll try to come back again later.

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the Seer who was successfully protected last night, and that would mean we need some hard information out in the open today.
