With too many unknowns sitting here around the DL I'd suggest a bandwagon as well - and as we have no clue how the voting will go we'd probably need to pick just whom we feel the most trustworthy or least suspicious.

I'm not saying Nerwen couldn't pull out that kind of a master-class tactics, but giving us two wolves is pretty good show none else in the thread can boast of. And so they might even understand we gave it just as a reward for well done wolf-catching.

Hopefully.

At least I would trust Nerwen to do with her vote something reasonable. (And if she is a Wolf, I daresay she deserves it...)

It might also be a point to make that we are not totally certain about Boro, as opposed to her (although I am not entirely sure if that is really the point we want to make... but it's not as conclusive point, anyway).

Are there any other good options? Can't think of any.

If there is no clear-cut situation where both the village votes more or less unanimously and there is a clearly established procedure what our vote means, then I say we just try to do what little we can. If there were already a pack of votes we could vote for someone who voted to lynch someone we especially suspect, but as even that is not the case I'm afraid we just have to give our vote as some kind of vote of confidence (or then not vote at all) as it looks like most of us will be having little to say as to who is lynched because we're fast alsleep (and too many wolves, 2-4, lurk there around the DL).

When I look at the list of names in the Living Thread I can't quite come up with anyone else than Nerwen as one we could vote for.

I'm open to well argued ideas though. For a while (trying to go to sleep in some more decentish time finally tonight).

Third time's the charm, right?

I basically second this. If there is no brilliant revelation or amazing list coming up at the Living thread in some minutes, then I think I will really also just vote for Nerwen.

It would have made perhaps even more sense not to vote at all, but exactly, if we don't vote, Wolves could just wreak havoc.

I think I'll vote for Nerwen. (Also Greenie will probably get on here and vote in a little while, unless she forgets and goes to sleep instead.)

Sally is another option, being pretty much a known innocent, but I think voting Nerwen is so clear-cut that even if the village starts making a communication plan an hour before the deadline, they'll realise we weren't exactly conveying information with her empowerment.

Eomer is still talking about a plan but not doing anything to make it happen. Just thoughtless (he shouldn't be, being a live European ) or actually evil?

Good point - he's European, he should know better regarding the dead Europeans (has he been killing us all along, so he could be the last European standing? Okay, with Lommy and Mith and Kath apparently... did I miss somebody else?) Then again, of course we've been *cough cough* sometimes staying up to the DL in the previous days, but heck, it isn't weekend anymore...

Maybe it should just be Nerwen. (I just hope the Wolves don't write something like "if you dreamed Lottie innocent, vote Nerwen!")

It seems Eomer is just on his way trying to formulate first ideas towards possibly planning an initial sugestion as to whehter someone might build up scheme or something...

I'm afraid it's coming a bit late as I'm quite ready to turn to bed pretty soon.


EDIT: X'd with clearly the same notion...

Great, so just now Eomer started to talk about some possibilities to get the info. But,

a) Sompeetalay.

b) Even if they pick us some nice players to empower, we can't guarantee we'll want to mess with the vote.

c) They can still spend like three hours debating it, and I guess many of us would like to go to sleep, like, now.

EDIT: obviously "triple X"
