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?

For some reason, I missed Boro in my list (sorry mate), but if we miss a Wolf toDAY and there's still two NIGHT kills (like, if his alignment flips once one of the Packs have been eliminated), you know what to do, anyway. (Or at least I bloody well hope you do.)

That reminds me, the Dead thread (especially the Europeans) wish to send the Living this message:



You've been lax and have let Wolves/distracted Gifteds prepare the vote list plan thing, leading not only to a failure to transfer information on the DAY of my death, but also (and more importantly) to the bungling up of what would've been the most epic thing of all time (if I do say so myself.)

As for what it is... you'll have to wait to find out.

As an aside, a message for the wolves.

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

I think a self-vote scheme could work well. There's a lot of heavy hitters in the dead thread, and hopefully they'll have enough extra information put together to give us a wolf.

The only extra information now that could be helpful is in the paws of the pack who have a surviving compadre. That won't be used in to the greater good.

The dead overall may have better judgement but about a third of them are now wolves that could affect the balance of power.
