Ten Year Anniversary Game: Living Thread

[Kuruharan]

Light crept through the windows again.

The itching inmate had scratched all NIGHT making it hard to sleep...among other reasons.

Breakfast appeared and the inmates, with great dread of the results, began looking around.

It was a measure of the level of the catastrophie that finding what seemed like less gore spattered about seemed like a great thing.

They had, in fact, become so used to it that they all set to breakfast with great gusto and ate all of it.

I mean, obviously, Firefoot and Lalaith were not going to need it anymore and it would be criminal to let it go to waste.

Well....then.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Both Nerwen and Sally survived? Eh???

[McCaber]

So Lottie's pack took her advice about killing Firefoot, it looks like, but what did the other wolves see in Lalaith? Did they figure Nerwen would be protected last Night, or did they feel there was some other reason to ignore her? I'm going to read through Lal's posts and see if I can find some reason for targeting her.

I'm with Nilp on being really thrown for a loop here.

[satansaloser2005]

Hey, guys, I'm right here.

I am confounded by the Lal kill though. I feel like that came out of nowhere.

Hey sally. Depending on what shakes out toDay I think I'd still prefer you alive than temporarily deceased, just because it seems easier to me to protect someone you know versus someone staying hidden, and as there's still two kills a night flying around I would dislike risking both of you dying in the same cycle and us getting nothing from your reveal.

Agreed, plus it's nice to have a known innocent around. I suppose two known with Nerwen, although somebody should look at her for a nasty skin rash.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

One thing about the narration that I noticed is that the "itching" has become even more prominent. I wonder if something happens if the hidden role lives to a certain day or night? Given the narration I'd say they're probably still alive, at the very least.

Looking at Lalaith:

Day 1
Post 120: Quick check-in, nothing more
Post 126: Votes Legate after saying just how little she likes Day 1s. Maybe if Legate's a wolf his pack remembered this and thought her the seer?

Day 2
Post 259: Some analysis on Nog's lynch saying that he seemed one of the most innocent, but suspects Agan instead.
Posts 315 and 318: Thinking on this mysterious "itch" and the door being shut.
Post 320: Maybe the itch has to do with the secret role? And still pondering the Nogwagon.
Post 334: Says Greenie, Nerwen, and Lottie look good (two out of three there, I guess), and ends up voting Aganzir.
Post 337: Again about the itch and the hidden role. It seemed to occupy a good chunk of her mindspace this Day.

Day 3
Post 455: More speculation on the special role and Aganzir's bear trap.
Post 457: Raising the idea of a wandering special role. This came a bit out of nowhere, so maybe the wolves thought she had inside knowledge from here?
Post 458: Speculates on Legate being the Seer.
Post 460: Reminding Mith of another instance of itching in the books, in this case Perrin's itching palms for the Palantir.
Post 485: In response to Nerwen, has positive feelings about Firefoot and suspicion of Lottie. Which is interesting, based on how the Day and Night turned out.
Post 486: Vote tally.
Post 496: Agreeing with Eomer about Legate's words not matching his categories, speculation that Rikae was the seer.
Post 507: Trusts Nerwen's information, and wonders where exactly it came from.
Post 520: Again agreeing with Eomer, this time about Nerwen's voting habits.
Post 527: Short responses to previous conversations.
Post 530: Votes Lottie.
Post 532: Realizes what a point in Lottie's post is supposed to mean.

If Lal was killed for looking like a seer, I don't think these wolves are very perceptive. Hunting the ranger, maybe? Or maybe even wolves thinking they see a rival pack and offing her when they get the chance, but with Nerwen and sally still alive it seems like a terrible play. Basically I still have no clue why she was killed, and it's throwing me for a loop.

[satansaloser2005]

I had a think about Lal. She was playing it rather safe, so my guess (at least at the moment) is that a pack went after her with hopes of bagging the ranger. She also wasn't suspected too much, so best to get cleaner innocents (if she was one) out of the way.

I'm off for the night. Fair warning, my darlings: Tomorrow is packed for me, so I'll only be on over lunch (possible but unlikely) and for a short spurt in the evening.

It's those dang mosquitos out here. They love to eat me up.

I guess now is a good time as any, since information is going to be our best weapon during the DAY. And I've been keeping this secret for far too long.

I've been rather rubbish and cautious during the day, but quite deadly at night (and hopefully I snatched another wolf last night) I offed Mac Night 3 and Lalaith last night (didn't kill anyone NIGHT 2...the phantom and Rune must have been the wolf kills). I would like to try to convince the dead to believe me and check Lalaith next time. And try to organize the method again to relay that information.

I feel pretty good there's a few dead wolves...in fact it's been fun sort of bringing back memories of Sauce's blood bath game. Although last time I went on this wolf-slaying rampage and had to reveal, I died and we all lost. I won't say anything else about gifts (there may be a few more tricks up my sleeve, there may not be...wolves should be worried though )

[Nerwen]

Hello, all!

Regarding Lottie: if we assume her pack killed Firefoot, I think we can also assume she was sincere in her suspicion, and the reasoning behind it- i.e. it was indeed Lottie and Co. who killed Rune and Legate.. As for why she would openly say that- because those kills didn't point directly to anyone in her pack. (Greenie being innocent.) For the rest, though- who knows? Wolves aren't always perfectly honest in extremis..

Lalaith is surprising. However, two things stand out about her.
1. She was very preoccupied with the special role, such that it may have been a flag to the wolves (if indeed the second pack killed her).
2. She shared Lottie's reasoning on Legate (#455 yesterDay). A packmate?

N.B. As I'm writing this, I see Boro has revealed as the special role (I think). I haven't read his post properly yet.
Edit: x'd with Nilp, Boro, McCaber and my heart.

[mormegil]

As Shasta received the extra vote yesterday, we can assume Greenie was innocent, correct? There was never any real surety of it as she was the Hunter kill which was based on suspicion. I'll have to see what this means to us, thought I"m not how much we can tell when an innocent Agan killed an innocent Greenie.

I do wonder if we are down to one pack now with Lottie gone. There are essentially two options as it appears that the "itching inmate" had another kill last night, based on the narration. It could be that we are down to one pack or that we had a successful ranger protection. Or I suppose I could be reading the narration wrong and there are two packs with two kills and no itching syndrome.

I'm trying to make heads or tails of the Firefoot kill. The itching villager could have taken her out on suspicion of being a wolf off Lottie's accusation. I was going to look into that toDay but I guess not now. I wasn't convinced but I thought it was worth looking into. If anything I thought it was Lottie trying to protect a pack mate of Firefoot in a fairly bold move.

The Lalaith kill seems odd. She didn't stand out one way or the other. I felt she was mostly innocent and didn't strike me as gifted.

Yesterday Lottie, Nilp and Eomer were my top suspects with a few others near. So far they remain and I'd like to look into them more. Honestly though, I'm more confused toDay than yesterDay and slightly frustrated.
