Ah, so I don't need to confess that I was never sally's lover. That's good.

I figured you were burning time until Nilp came back so I didn't raise any fuss. You seemed genuine at the time so I backed your play trusting that you knew what you were doing. It's good to see that trust wasn't misplaced.

I wondered about that. Good show, Sally.

On the other hand, we had three nightkills last night, so there's - at the very least! - one wolf from each pack remaining, plus Boro... and there are only six of us left (not counting Nilp, because he'll be dead after today.)

Which also means there are at least two wolves in the group of McCaber, Mith, and Kath. Good odds, but we've got to eliminate a nightkill today.

Sally, if McCaber isn't your beloved, why are you so quick to trust him?

I half wonder if we shouldn't lynch Boro today. I'd imagine the kill of Form was him, so he (probably) was genuinely trying to hit a wolf (not for our sake, but because he needs to kill the wolves as much as we do), but he's the only sure shot we have at eliminating a nightkill today.

Of course, Nilp could blow this entire theory of mine out of the water, so I'll wait to hear from him before I speak any more about it.

I'm not, at least implicitly. I just knew what Eomer was thinking and it was beneficial at the time for others to think it as well, so I went with it.

Incidentally, thanks, McCaber, for playing along. You're a doll.

No problem. I'm just glad you're still here.

Of course, if Nilp hadn't come back I would have assumed you to be a particularly brassy wolf and this conversation would be quite a bit different.

Based on timing, if Formy was a wolf that Boro struck down, their two kills might have both gone through. (Formy specifically, because both Lommy and Eomer were on our seer's list of innocents and because he looked really wolvish to me.) If morm was a wolf himself, that would leave one wolf remaining between Mith, Kath, and myself. Which is looking a good deal less dire for everyone involved.

I suppose that's possible, but I have no idea how to figure out if that's the case. Initially I figured that if Form had been the last wolf on his team, there'd only have been two nightkills, but your theory is equally valid.

Is that something our esteemed mod can answer? Kuru, in the event that the last remaining wolf on a team is killed themselves at night, would their kill go through or not? (Of course feel free not to answer if that's something we shouldn't know.)

All NIGHT events are assumed to happen.

In which case McCaber's version of events is the correct one, so... here's hoping Form was both a wolf and the last of his pack.

Also, the scratching has ceased. Perhaps the gift only works until Boro eliminates the last member of a wolf pack or something? Just throwing out random ideas.

He's killed three wolves by himself. Maybe he only had three hunting attempts?

I missed you, my love.

Anyway, I don't have long to live, but if we do this right, we don't have long to play, in any case. Here's what I've gathered from the Dead:

Innocent Dead
  • Greenie
  • Legate
  • Agan
  • Firefoot
  • Nerwen
  • Nogrod
  • Eomer
  • Lommy

Innocent Alive (for now)
  • Sally <3
  • Nilp
  • Shasta

Dead Wolves
  • Loslote
  • Macalaure
  • Lalaith
  • Formendacil
  • mormegil

Living Wolves
  • ???

Unknown Dead
  • Rikae - was scried last NIGHT, but I, ah, missed the announcement.

In any case, since there were three NIGHT kills, and we're still playing despite Form's Death, there's still a Wolf among:

Unknown Alive (in order of perceived innocence)
  • Kath
  • Mithalwen
  • McCaber

morm confessed to have noticed that I was a Lover and was hoping to kill my precious next, so which means our plan left a lot of visible clues, clues that someone who couldn't pay full attention to the game wouldn't notice. That leads to Kath (sorry, dear.)

I trust McCaber's claim that he noticed that Sally was playing a waiting game, so I'm inclined to trust his innocence the most.

Since Borobear hasn't been confirmed by our Seer, and just for the sake of complete information, I would like to ask the Dead to give us Rikae's alignment.

If Rikae is innocent, give your vote to Shasta, Mithalwen or McCaber.

If Rikae, by some chance, is a wolf, give your vote to Sally, Nilp, or Kath.

Thoughts, village?

I'd be up for trying the tie vote toDay. We can tie the vote between two of our unknowns (or, if we think we can manage it, three) and let the dead decide who to lynch. Everyone would have to be in on it though, and we should decide such a thing somewhat early in the Day. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on the subject.

In any case....

Clearly off the table
My beloved
Myself
My psychic wolf boy
My prince

Contendors for toDay (in marginal order of preference)
Mith
Kath
McCaber
