And what a waste to have a lover this early.

I thought our best way was to give as much information to the visitors and now we've already wasted one of the two.

At this pace, the village probably thinks we're talking about something very serious.

I mean in this game that is... but not in a way Agan suggests.

Otherwise, you know, I do appreciate you a lot.

I suspect you will be talking about something very serious.

In reference to Agan's post.

Legate- in summary....

Nog and I insistently suspect one another. We assume Agan is the Hunter. Green is PREY.

You weren't painting situations inaccurately, or trying to make them look scarier than they were, or hedging your bets, or trying to discredit ideas by discrediting a source... You didn't take a calculated approach to my plan proposal, but rather you saw precisely its potential and thought that others were downright suspicious for claiming we couldn't do it, or shouldn't attempt it, or that it was oppressive, you didn't try to over-simplify or complicate it etc. A Wolf would have a reason to be spooked and poke holes in a foreign idea that had the potential to hurt them down the road, but an innocent would simply see potential and decide that the opportunity should be grasped.

You didn't even feel that you had to trust me to employ the plan- you were willing to separate guilt from sound tactics, which showed a pure desire to win. Those threatened by the plan could try to weasel out of it by associating it with ME, and thus "We can't just trust Phantom therefore somehow that means something negative about the plan" where as you did not make that error. I also noted your reluctance to lynch Agan, which seemed sensible given her possible Gifted status.

I was trying to say there that even the most obviously guilty Wolf would have a reason to bait themselves as a Night pick. In this situation it would apply to you, if say you "revealed" now as the Ranger who had been biding his time to see what the false Seer was attempting. You would know such a reveal would be suspect but perhaps you do just well enough that we simply have to check you. OR it could apply to Rikae if she feels the real Seer is still alive on the thread and will probably reveal today (and possibly reveal her as a Wolf), thus she can insist she is the real one and we feel pressured to check her. Whereas if she wouldn't have revealed we might've been more likely to simply trust the Living Thread reveal and write her off as a WW and check someone more interesting. (Basically my statement was less immediately applicable and more hypothetical.)

Reading the dead thread
Why am I not surprised about all the sport talk early on? Also very amused about the phantom flirting with the ladies and Nog trying to steal the thunder by confessing his love to the phantom.

The Dead Europeans meme is killing me. Hats off to Kath for being the last European standing, btw.

I can't say how happy I am that the living seemed to have figured out what Nerwen was doing before the dead did. Take that, you smug corpses!

Also I understand why Agan keeps saying Legate made her laugh way too much. Napoleon, Julius Caesar etc? Crazy.

I'm kind of disappointed the dead thread is actually like 85% serious talk. Most of the craziness was in the last couple of Days and Nights. You guys totally mislead me.

PS. It's too funny to think of Legate as Han Solo and Mac as C3PO. (I'm pretty sure there is a - somewhere in that droid's name but I can't fathom where. C-3PO??)

PPS. Dear kawaii Nilp, I learnt that word all by myself, ages ago. And I'm baffled that you consider it weird that I know it. Isn't it a fairly normal word? Anyway, very descriptive of you.

Okay, folks. Very nice to be here. Erm, or maybe not?

Not that I expect to stay up late at this hour (even though it's nice to have the Day longer now), but...

So, can somebody sum up, at least for the time being, for the convenience of mine and of the others, what is it that happened here so far?

No no no no no....

THREE deaths. So, special role, right?

I'm not even going to attempt speculating until I've heard something from the newly Dead.

Anyway. Welcome to the kingdom of the gentle dead!

Let's hear you (and take your time to check our earlier discussions).

Well. If I wasn't the Hunter, there'd be a daytime assassin who just chose to murder the person I had voted for. And what an incredible shot of luck that I left Hunter clues in my first post!

Yeah, totally not surprised to see you here. A bit surprised to see Mac. And hm, so how many living villagers are out there now? This is quite dramatic.

Boots I think I can do Phantom one better...
The residents had worked on the problem of their own natures all day and finally came to a solution.

Something told them that it was time again...time when others would join them.

They waited for the telltale swirling of the mists that surrounded them.

With a gust, they came.

Macalaure...

Rikae... (how ironic)

Welcomes were exchanged, cake was shared, conversation begun.

"Where's my cake," came an unexpected voice.

Not AGAIN!!!!

Why is Legate here?!!!!!!!

The Missing or Dead:
Kuruharan
Nogrod
the phantom
Rune Son of Bjarne
Aganzir
A Little Green
Macalaure
Rikae
Legate of Amon Lanc

The Living:
Formendacil
satansaloser2005
McCaber
Loslote
Boromir88
Nerwen
Firefoot
Thinlómien
Lalaith
Eomer of the Rohirrim
mormegil
Nilpaurion Felagund
Shastanis Althreduin
Mithalwen
Kath

Illusion:
Gwathagor(Ordo)

The DAY will end at the customary hour.
