Legate - I'm sure the dead had reason to be disappointed in me the Day before yesterDay, but at least it comforts me I've been more useful than you.

As for all this Boro business. Is there really anything we can do about it? If he wins, I daresay he has deserved it. And I still don't think he's evil, unless Kuru keeps changing rules mid-game to keep it balanced, which is not impossible. Incidentally, Nerwen - why did you say you wouldn't get more PMs and the ranger shouldn't protect you?

I suppose we could always ask Nerwen to dream of Boro, but I'm not sure that would be very informative, and we might rather want to check one of the unknowns if Boro can't kill anymore?

As for Mith and McCaber, I'm still undecided...

I don't think so... because even if they lynch a wolf toDay, and we find out via scry toNight, we won't be able to alert them until the end of the next Day, which would be too late.

We'd sort of need the wolf to actually live through the lynch, and then s/he and Boro to take each other out. Assuming Boro still has kills.

Bah! I have been very useful, you'd see how usefull I would have been had I been alive, or even as Dead, had somebody not posted a list for the Dead too late and then changed it into a completely useless one in the last minute!

Well he (probably) killed a bunch of Wolves, that much I'd certainly give him... But we'll see. Obviously if something doesn't add up and there are like known innocents and him alive, obviously he should be lynched... But even a blind person would see that, for sure...

Can she dream about the Living even now?

By the way, let's bear in mind that we are empowering now... so if we vote, in this case we vote for lynching the other person than whom we vote for...

I won't be able to read anything until the final hour, so I'll probably just be following whatever you all are doing (so that the Wolves can't mess it up I'll bandwagon).

Maybe... in something like the next two hours there will be some decision as to whether they should discuss some other plan or not...

Just on the off-chance that it would convince the wolves that I wasn't worth killing, that's all- I was pretty sure I'd already been protected.

Silmaril The End of the Return
The langour continued this DAY...and yet paradoxically, the denizens were very decided about the appropriate action toward the Living.

The mists stirred and a strangely sad seeming Nilpaurion returned to them.

He was closely followed by McCaber.

The Missing or Dead:
Kuruharan
Nogrod
the phantom
Rune Son of Bjarne
Aganzir
A Little Green (Prey)
Macalaure
Rikae (Prey)
Legate of Amon Lanc (Prey)
Loslote
Firefoot
Lalaith (Predator)
Nerwen
mormegil
Thinlómien
Formendacil
Nilpaurion Felagund (Lover)
McCaber

The Living:
satansaloser2005
Boromir88
Shastanis Althreduin
Mithalwen
Kath

Illusion:
Gwathagor (Ordo)

OCC - As I'm going to a play tomorrow I am going to have to move the deadline up by...probably kind of a lot, but unhelpfully I'm not sure when yet. I will keep everyone posted.

It's bad enough having to read five pages of the phantom. If you expect me to write about him too, you've got another thing coming.

Make sure you start from the beginning and read every bit.

It is totally worth it.
