Uh... erm... what the...?

Well, firstly and foremostly: thank you ms/mr ranger! That was well done indeed! I hope I can help you in someway to pay back this - and let's hope I'm not going to help lynching you... It would be pretty pathetic.

But to the questionmarks in the beginning there.

It sure is unusual that the name of the saved person is declared. Not that it should have any significance in this kind of a game. Or does it? I mean why to do it if it has no signifigance? It's just hard to see the point of revealing it was me one of the lover-pairs tried to get rid of. If I'm not totally mistaken the only thing that changes here is that the other team now knows the other one was after me - and you villagers know it. But what's the value of that information?

Okay. There's this: now both wolf-teams know I'm not a member of the other team. But I'm still not so sure about the value of that piece of information.

Anyway. It looks like I'm dead meat the next Night. Happily I have some time later today so I can try to make the best out of the little time I still have (and Mac can use his energies into the actual wolf-hunt as well... ).

Secondly. The narration seems to make it quite plain that there are two teams of two going about their killing-business during Nights. And there is a ranger. Now what makes me wonder is that even if it looks like we are at the moment losing this game and losing it bad (just look at the list of the dead) the initial situation of there being just two pairs of baddies in a village of twenty puts the baddies into an almost hopeless position in the beginning.

A total number of four baddies in a village of twenty is kind of the average number but as (or should we now start pondering, if?) they are linked to each other it would be really bad for the baddies.

There is something wrong here.

But be it this or that way, we sure need to start pulling our act together now. Five dead innocents and no lovers caught. That's a bad performance. I'll be back trying to do my part later in to the Day.
