Shasta was pretty suspicious of Boro. Let's hope he will stand up for it and get his will through.

Do you want to now tell us about your superpower of killing people from beyond the grave? Kuru? Is there something like if both of the Wolf-packs combine into a Mega-Zord, they can kill even a living person? No?

Death did nothing to sate my lust for blood!

I don't know how. I don't care. You guys are the innocents. You figure it out.

I like your idea, though. Kuru, make it happen!

Anyway, for completion's sake

And now what. Does somebody have a secret role powers with a secret way to tell the village? Though I *did* say it before Nilp went back...

(Or please, Nerwen, say it was a joke...)

I think Boro is not killing anyone toNight and will be trying to claim there is just one wolf around and therefore the village should not lynch him as he is not that...

EDIT: Totally stupid reasoning... sorry. I'll take it a new...

You mean, Boro will claim that he did not kill anyone toNight, and he will just say "hey, whoever made the kill toNight is the remaining Wolf! It had to be... (XY)"

I am worried Boro will kill Shasta and he will not protect himself but Sally. Let's hope I'm wrong...

It is going to be interesting indeed.

Will Boro know or trust the last wolf is dead or no?

He might not do a Night-kill if he's thinking there is one wolf left - and thus clean his name. With no Night kill though he would be strongly incriminated to be the one because of whom the game still continues... the ranger-save nothwithstanding...

He might do a Night kill if he thinks the last wolf is dead - and then he could claim he is just on the villagers' side and it was the last remaining wolf who did the killing. But he doesn't actually know that and there being two deaths (which is possible from his POV - even if we know it actually isn't) would incriminate him heavily in that case as well.

So what will he choose - to kill or not to kill? And will Shasta be saving himself / Sally succesfully if he goes for the kill?

So many things that could so many possible ways...

Darn it. It would seem Boro would need to decide by himself which one he'd have harder times to explain himself out of: there being no kill or there being two. Sadly it looks like it would be easier to him to try and escape the lynch explaining two kills than none and therefore he's most probably going to go for a kill toNight.

But he doesn't actually know that and there being two deaths (which is possible from his POV - even if we know it actually isn't) would incriminate him heavily in that case as well.
Well, he was offering yesterDay to the villagers that he could kill one of the remaining unknown people if the game continues (Mith, it seemed). So he could be safe with making a Night-kill, because a) it is better for him (I presume) to kill as many people as he can, b) in his thinking, if there happened to be a Wolf still around and thus there were two Night-kills, he could just say "oh, but I was just acting in the interests of the village, you know".

The best he could do (from our perspective) would be of course if he did not send the kill, because then the village would be just "wait a moment... how comes there wasn't a kill?" But I wouldn't really rely on that. See above.

The only thing that might happen, it might limit his killing options, since he might not want to raise suspicion. So he might not want to kill e.g. Sally, but rather Mith, since she is one of the potential unknowns. I would imagine it might be really a bit difficult for him at this stage.



(...Unless something totally different is true and because the whole game is based on the Living not knowing anything, and the point is kind of for the Dead to try to pass info from beyond the grave, and since there is the option to have no lynch at all by making a tie, maybe Boro is innocent killer and Kuru is just messing with us and waiting for the Living to stop lynching whenever they will, or eliminate themselves completely. But no, that is something the phantom would do as a Mod, not Kuru. I hope. )

I am actually having a phantomesque plan...

So as we have no clear means of telling the Living to kill Boro let's try to give them an indirect - and kind of an odd one.


Boro sure is Boromir88.

And the Living know this thread buzzes with astonishing amount of posting all the time.


So how about we stop posting after the next ..88 replies to the thread and remain silent for a half a Day at least?


Someone might notice there is something wrong with the Dead Thread - and someone might then realize the number of replies is ..88 - well it seems 1588 is our next ..88.

If we could fill the thread up to that many replies for the new Day to Dawn and then have a silence of half a Day... Could it work?

Not a bad idea by itself, we certainly don't have very much to say anymore toNight, right? So we could leave it at least until then.

It would be really cool.

People just should be really careful about crossposting among the last posts before 1588 and such

It would be something like 77 posts to go after mine... two pages. Doable? (We could name this The Spam Thread.)

I am quite fine with it. Really. Nothing to lose there.
