haha, relax people, just a joke, I'm not the hunter.

For those who didn't play in Lommy's game a few months back, I falsely and foolishly claimed to be the hunter in that game.

Oh, I well remember that! Don't be difficult, though. As I recall, that didn't turn out so well for the good side.

As usual I'm getting really confused (and a headache from trying to concentrate)

some random thoughts:

I wouldn't have voted Sally if I didn't think she was suspicious AND that there was a chance that she would get lynched. That said, I was a little surprised to see all the late votes for her which might seem opportunistic (trying to save a fellow?) but for me to accuse the late-comers for it (Agan, Lottie, Lommy) would be throwing rocks in a glass-house. I also agree with Agan that the reasons stated to vote for Sally weren't as bad as they are made out to be in some quarters, especially given the Cobbler-thing, although I myself didn't think of that at the time.

Good point. A cobbler-Nessa might, though... Speaking of Nessa, I had a brief look at her posts and the feeling I got was... well, that of sloppiness. She doesn't seem all that engaged. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt toDay I think but would like to hear a lot more from her toMorrow (if she's still alive, that is).

Lottie seems much more subdued that I remember her. Which is kinda worrying but I'm not comfortable voting her. Not

I'm be tempted to try Inzil. Not because I really suspect him, but rather because his identity could shed some light of yesterDay's voting.

Legate is, alright I guess. Seems genuine.

Boro seems a bit off though. He usually talk of himself all the time and has, well, has has now too hasn't he? Still, something unusual about him. Should be more direct perhaps?

But to be honest I feel pretty good about most of the loud people. My vote may well fall on one of the quiet submarine-types. Pretty sure you'd find at least one, probably two wolves among them.

Hm. Must eat something..

EDIT :x'ed with 2 Shasta and a Boro

Yeah, with the big huge games I usually take a couple of Days to find my feet. You'll get her back eventually, I hope. :/

Now then. Legate and Mac bother me, but not in a wolf sense. Legate because the tone of his posts seems way different than usual, but I don't think he'd do that as a wolf. Mac because, despite the logic and all, he's misrepresenting some people. Not enough so that people would notice much, but enough to draw flawed conclusions with if he wanted to. He'd in a good spot for a wolf to be in, but I don't suspect him personally - it's more of a "if he were a wolf we'd be in so much trouble" sort of thing.

So, since neither of those two are really worth voting, I suppose I'll probably go with Kit so that the option is there if we decide to lynch her and see where her Hunt leaves us and whatnot.

++Kit

I might get a chance to pop in again, might not.

Now I actually think I have been in that game, but it didn't occur to me. Honestly, you've got to be crazy!!! We have enough problems as it is. I almost voted Kit actually at the close of my post. So!!!

Therefore, scratch all that I have said in my previous post. So Kit is the Hunter, we should decide what to do with her, and skip, now I wonder if you would dare to joke like this as a Wolf. But right now... bleagh!

Oh please don't remind me, trying to figure out whether I should come forward (as the real hunter) was so stressful, and then we lost because I went and trusted evil!Boro and evil!Nog, and revealed! Yes, I still hold a grudge.


I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after this post. I couldn't get on during my first two classes, and know for sure I won't be able to for my last (which starts very soon), and I have to go straight to work immediately after class, where I have no internet. So toDay sucks for me, I apologise. For the next week the Days fall on the days I don't have school, so this should be my only bad Day for participation.


Anyway, I've just lightly skimmed. I believe Kit, cause there is rarely ever a reason for someone to claim hunter when they aren't (though there are exceptions *cough*skip*cough*), and though I'm strongly against Hunter reveals, this one is understandable since she can't play anymore. Obviously lynching her would be a waste, she'll be modkilled soon enough so I say we don't worry about it.

And Agan, I did think you were too obvious to be the Cobbler, but then you drew attention to Sally's thing and that would be a smart thing for the Cobbler to do (make it seem innocent, like you're just suspicious of Sally and trying to bring her down, but really letting the wolves know that you've seen it and are planning to go through with it). I know some people think that for it to work the Cobbler would have to leave a hint, but I don't think that's necessarily true. If enough attention was brought to that plan then the Cobbler and Wolves may have just assumed that the other was thinking of doing it. And mentioning it at the very end of the Day when it's intense and someone is being lynched, that brings a lot of attention to it.

Guh, I have to go. How bad would it be for me not to vote? Cause I don't have time to read thoroughly and make an educated decision, and Agan isn't really an option since I'm more confused, rather than suspicious, about her, and really just that one post of hers looks really bad to me, otherwise she seems normal-ish. So, I won't. Sorry, I just wouldn't know who to go for, too much to read in the 5 minutes before I have to leave. Good luck!

It did not make me suspect you, and that's a huge difference, as you can surely understand.
No real hinting because the baddies didn't yet have any information that we don't. And I suppose that's fair enough, although I would never ever had said so, regardless of my role (innocent me doesn't want to give the baddies ideas while an evil me doesn't want the attention).

Good question. You know, your sharp observations in this post about what the Wolves would think about the Cobbler and so on are actually so sharp that I am starting to think that you have been thinking about it a great deal yourself in your quest to find an ally.
Ahaha! Like, what? Seriously though, I love that comment. It just proves what I always knew: I think like a wolf.

And why would the wolves encourage lynching someone who just said something more helpful to them than anything else that had been said? Could they really afford it? Personally, I think there was a better reason to lynch sally than Pitch, Nessa or Zil anyway. If you think there was a wolf involved, give some more reasoning. It's way too easy to just randomly cast suspicion on a group of people like that.

Legate's confusion about the skip-hunter issue actually makes me feel a lot better about him. It looks genuine.

By the way Boro, I just remembered I also had a dream Folwren and I went into a national park in America. There were lots of absolutely gorgeous tigers, and suddenly one of them killed a screaming woman after a (very) brief chase. It bit her head off.
