I would think the WWs want to be a part of history as well, right? And as for observance, yeah, who knows, but it's our best shot (or one of them. We can of course aim to empower somebody toMorrow, the best would be if they did the self-vote thing and let us decide... but it's dangerous, because Boro would totally mess it up if he's allowed to).

We can do that even if we try the 1588-replies tactics. We'll have several hours then to discuss whom to empower after our shutdown is over.

I wonder if Boro was given some knowledge of who the wolves are. No one's that good to be 3 for 3.

It might be his power only works on wolves- or did, because it's entirely possible he's now turned into a regular WW.

If so, I wonder if he's a lone wolf, or allied with one of the dead packs?

Kuru said earlier the DL would be postponed but he told then the DL would be at 7pm Eastern time. So is it going to be in 1½ hours or am I losing something?

I didn't say "postponed" I said "moved up."

Deadline is in 15 minutes...ish.

Sorry my broken English... Didn't know it meant coming up faster... Okay. That's fine indeed.

the phantom · 06-13-2015, 04:29 PM

Ah, I see- the numbers don't match up (post count versus replies). Got it.

Well, I am going silent until Day starts then.

Let me just say that this is a brilliant plan.

I hope they'll notice it!

If he kills Shasta toNIGHT, he'll go back the DAY after and it will be 1-2. So hoping that's the case.

Well. If for some reason they don't yearn revenge enough to stick to it, we can always go back and delete our own posts to get to 88.

I'll do a test post soon to see if the numbers add up even if you delete a post. I'd imagine they do but want to make sure.

He could also have been allergic to werewolves, is what I was thinking.

Although he stopped scratching before McC died, so your theory may have merit.

Yup, it works.

Of course, of course. Also, I am not expecting the Living are going to give us a reasonable scheme according to which we can vote anytime dramatically soon

So yeah. Just in the last post, a brief summary, a brief explanation, a nice nudge to the newly-coming dead (if there is one) to spend the meantime with something nice, for instance reading our long thread

McCaber · 06-13-2015, 04:14 PM

Haha! Yes, I am a wolf you powerless villagers! And I almost got away with it, too, despite the dog's dinner I was handed.

This 88 plan has no chance of working, but I'm going to abide by it anyway, because Boro singlehandedly dismantled our wolf packs and because his fur is the wrong sort of color.

Hopefully Shasta spends time in our thread soon enough to come back and win.

That said we don't want to eclipse 75 before 7 o'clock. Once the Day opens it'll be easy to get to 88 in organized fashion.

Makes sense. I will therefore also stop posting now so that also some others have chance to speak

(Also, it is getting late here, so might slowly head to sleep.) If it's good, even the person who gets killed toNight - if there is one - might get the chance to speak in the Morning.

Here is how it works, plainly and simply: Your post called #1542 in its top-right corner was listed as if there were "1541 replies" on the thread.
