I'll look Rune's posts over. (Not phantom's. I mean, come on!)

In other news, I think the narration indicates both Lovers are still alive.

First off I owe an apology to Lommy. Her original post doesn't look as offensive now that it's not 2 am anymore. In any case, I didn't mean to paint you as stupid or insignificant and am sorry I came across that way (I said ThinLOLmien because your long paragraph about me made actually me go "LOOOOL what the hell's she saying").

However, I still think she blew my joke way out of proportion - and in two stages too, with the initial "OMG WHAT did I just see ttyl" and then the long (given circumstances) analysis of why my reaction to morm's joke means I'm a wolf. If it had just been the former (as a way of expressing confusion) I wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, but the way she continued, she actually seemed gleeful to find something to latch on and that's really quite fishy. Her excitement about my supposed slip just looks fake.

I'm not sorry Nog was lynched, even if his level of suspiciousness is usually directly connected to how late it is here. I'm okay with Rune's death as well as he made me uneasy, but it saddens me that phants is gone. And no, wolves don't shoot for the kind of target he painted on his back (come on, the phantom saying "kill me" could be a bluff^5 or a dozen other things).

Anyway, the night kill proves one thing - phantom and Rune weren't wolves together. They had about zero interaction so knowing this does little for us, but there.

And folks, we should keep in mind that whatever goes on in the Dead Thread, timezones make it more likely that phantom has the final say - at least for toDAY. (The perks of being the only American among dead Europeans, heh heh. )

I love that Macalaure took the trouble to consider that I might be a gifted before he decided to vote for me. He doesn't sit right with me at all.

Your point being? This is a weird thing to say.

I've never played with Firefoot before so it feels daring to say this, but she feels quite innocent to me.

I'm in an all-day strategy meeting so apologies if I at any point get distracted halfway through a sentence.

Elaboration (see how I ended my last post ): I don't know if anybody is doing it seriously, but it seems lazy to suggest he was killed for saying "Kill me". I don't think he was killed for looking like the seer (although putting me on the top of his innocent list made me wonder at the time ) but rather for being a dangerous player with good plans.

I kind of feel good about sally too (shocking I know!). I'm not sure she would have supported a no-lynch if she's a wolf, and most of all I can't see wolf sally voting to save me, knowing our history.

I find it unlikely we saw any wolf-on-wolfing (within a pack) yesterday. Now that lynch results are not immediate (and we can never find out every player's role anyway, even in the Dead thread, there are just too many deaths), it just doesn't make sense to make yourself "look better" by suspecting a fellow, especially as you can also spend your time genuinely hunting for other wolves. If there is wolf-on-wolfing, I think its goal is to sow very minor doubts to keep the other pack off your fellow's neck.
However, being careful to distance yourself from your fellows may come naturally to many players even when it's not necessary - I remember my fate in Duelling Wizards 2 being sealed by a packmate's vote, while to all intents and purposes they could've saved me without looking worse for it as the village had no idea we even knew of each other.

I'm wondering about that myself- I'm reading through yesterDay and there are interactions that *look* like "normal" wolf-on-wolfing- morm's with Mac, for example, and also Rune's vote-post could be read that way (c.f. Lottie above), and yet there probably isn't much point to it in this game. But as you say, it might be habit.
.Edit:x'd with Lommy.
