Dammit. I was hoping my little seer style post would get me killed. I don’t have any Hail Mary plays today.

Ok. The fact I’m alive probably means Sorimon Is innocent like. I was 80% he’s a wolf now I’m like 30%... maybe looking at vote overlaps from day one and two will help.

[Morsul the Dark]

Ooooh GhostHuin is with us today. Hmm HewnHuin?

*Sigh* I was hoping the wolves would come for me, but I think it was fairly obvious after her reaction to sally's fake reveal that Kath was the Seer. You did well and what you had to. May you relax and find joy among the dead.

I do not have to be a seer to know that Pitch is a wolf and I do trust Morsul. Many jumped on his quick vote for sally, but frankly that quite possibly was a move that saved us and revealed Pitch to be false as well. That was an engineered fake seer reveal with sally if I have ever seen one.

Yesterday Form brought us new hope with a vital piece of information and hopefully Huey will be able to do the same today. Welcome Huey, what news from the grave?

Edit: A bunch of cross posting.

Sounds like we had similar plans. I’ll look at Pitch but I do trust you as well... hopefully that’s the right choice

[Boromir88]

Ok so the first message is pretty clear. Soriman is innocent, that is something the Dead have learned as a "vision from Iluvatar".

We won't have confirmation on who Kath's dreams were until tomorrow, if the dead are able to send another ghost. And we must get through to tomorrow. The surest way I know to still fight on to tomorrow is to lynch Pitch. Which means in my mind the last wolf is either Lommy or Legate.

Working on the others...

[Boromir88]

Huey's message in 409 seems to be reading the dead believe Pitch is guilty.

This is not "known" for certain (it's not from "Iluvatar") but it's from "Gorlim." And "we know not for certain" but their belief is Pitch is a wolf.

[Boromir88]

Good night Huey! Thank you for the information. It has already been helpful to me. Rest in peace and forgive me for Day 2, I was blind and did not see. But there's also a certain liberation with being free from the toils of the living. It is always my curse to remain here until the end.

[Morsul the Dark]

Pitch’s day 1 vote is a throwaway, Day two vote clinched Hui’s death.

Then the interaction with Sally. And then Judge Dedd suspecting them. Do I dare make the same play again?

I was honestly thinking about doing that if we did get another ghost and whatever information they had.

That's not my style. If you want to go for it. I will back it and stop any sort counter bandwagon Pitch + the 1 packmate might want to try if they're feeling risky. I have a feeling though, that they tried a risky play yesterday to end the game right then and Pitch just may sacrifice today to leave it to the final day.

I have no way to know for sure you're innocent, unless we get word on Kath's dreams at a later time (and same goes for you having no way to know for sure I'm innocent). It was a risky vote yesterday for sure, but wolves aren't the only ones who take risks and as you replied to Pitch yesterday, if sally was innocent the wolves would have piled on your vote earlier than trying to engineer that fake seer reveal and throw suspicion your way.

I still feel pretty confident that with news of Soriman's innocence from Iluvatar that the final wolf is either Lommy or Legate. I've been quite gun-ho on Legate as can be seen, but I have to rethink because Pitch has seemed to try to poke me to go after him. Everyone knew how suspicious I was of Legate on Day 2, and I specifically recall Pitch trying to nudge in that direction:

And Lommy seemed to also do a bit of poking.. #214
