I would have left Nilp off, too, save for his sorely-deluded views on koalas.

...Er, I mean, no, I can't tell you. The riddle-message I was sent indicates a certain course of action, but that's as much as I say just now.

Edit:x'd with Eomer.
Also I must say I'm having a lot of fun with the mental image of Eomer as a "fluffy-widdle puppy warg". Spot on, she who rules the waves.

Why, thank you, O Monarch of the Watery Deep.

Now I may have some more to add later. For now, though, in case I can't get online again, I'll just say that the Ranger had better not waste a protection on me. Among other things I don't think I'll be getting any more pms anyway and we've got (effectively) a whole bunch of known innocents now.

I'd have to concur with McCaber's post #602 and suppose that it's highly likely that Boro killed Lalaith.

Depending on the Ranger situation - and obviously the Ranger will know best - it doesn't seem unlikely that Nerwen would have been protected last night, or that she would have been targetted. If so then it's still very plausible that we have two wolf-packs still (or maybe not if Lalaith was the last of hers?) Still, I'd love to know what the Ranger's been up to as it might give an indication of how many wolves remain.

I'm babbling. I don't do responsibility well.

I'm curious on this part Eomer. How would the benefit of knowing who the ranger has protected and if they were successful last night, as I think it sounds like, outweigh having the ranger in the open? Yes it would give us one known innocent but it would remove a powerful member of the team within a Night or two. Granted they would come back somewhat more powerful but again would last a limited amount of time. As you say the ranger would know best but I find it odd that you are requesting the ranger to tell us what they've been up to.

What do Boro and Morm think she meant by this?

Nerwen, the Seer, on what she correctly guessed to be her last day among the living, specifically left myself, Shasta and Lommy off the list of potential wolves.

She trusted Boro and Sally, who revealed their special roles. Two people - Boro and Sally - does not a bunch make.

Now, I believe we can add McCaber to this list, given Sally's post yesterday suggesting his innocence. But this was before Nerwen said her stuff (I think) so surely her 'bunch' was us five.

I'm baffled that Boro is still talking about suspecting me and Lommy. Maybe less baffled by Morm's similar behaviour, as this could be a last-ditch wolvish tactic by him.

For myself, I wasn't paying the greatest attention to what was happening yesterday. I was basically gone the entire day and quickly read it from my phone before being most perturbed by Form's posts and voting for him.

Since that's the case, for today, I revise my list to...

Form
McCaber
Morm
Kath

please. Four hours to go and I think 1 am for Eastern bloc.

Since Kath has voted and there is a feeling my plan should wait are we going for Mormegil's scheme for Dead vote?

It is getting late this side of the pond even the Dead may sleep.

We need it to be clear or we will miss out again

Also, I just caught Boro's reveal post. That's certainly interesting. Anyone else care to reveal any secrets while we're here?

Here's a wacky notion. We recall the way Lottie jumped at Morm when he jumped at me for my thoughts on Rune. It occurred to me as I was reading through some of her posts that she might have been setting up for some solid wolf-on-wolf with that exchange. I don't have time to properly cite posts and such, alas, but I've seen Lottie pull some conniving moves, and the way she defended me and began suspecting Morm seems rather wolfy to me. That combined with my own general uneasiness with Morm this game makes him pretty high on my suspect list.

Speaking of which, I'll make that in a moment.


x'd since my last

Fairly wacky indeed. I don't see the benefit of wolves in the same pack going after each other in this game, especially so early. Remember at this stage we didn't have any known wolves so it doesn't make sense to me. It wasn't until this point that Lottie began to be suspicious to many. Again, why the risk of wolf on wolf. I think it was an attempt on her part to cast doubt on me, it seems to be working posthumously. This certainly doesn't acquit me of guilt but I cannot see that a wolf one wolf interaction would have occurred so early on.
