Behind the Scenes... Night Two

Well, I think we've made a very unlucky start! Elf is gone and you are suspected. The only reason I'm not suspected is because I could hardly play all day.
Ok, it's going to go better from now on.
Are you also worried that Sally is the seer?
I have a feeling about Wilwarin too - think she might have a special role.
Let me know your thoughts.

just skimmed through the thread and found our TEWie fenrissed. This could have gone a lot better...
I hope I'll be able to talk myself out of suspicion for Feawagoning toMorrow. It was an easy vote, of course, but I couldn't really come up with anything better. (I didn't mean to bandwagon, btw - had intended to vote her all along and wasn't exactly happy when Greenie went ahead and took the vote right out of my keyboard.) Anyway, Shasta and sally will probably come after me a bit, but otherwise it doesn't look too bad.
You should be allright, I think, with having to vote early when there was little to go on.
I'm going to reread the thread later and try to make up my mind who should be our dinner toNight. At the moment, I'm mainly wondering what to do about Agan, who had both of us on her short list - then again, there's a chance she'll go on one of her famous witch-hunts sooner or later and create some useful diversion (as long as she doesn't pick one of us, of course). And I'd rather not kill her this early in our first game together.
Have you sensed any gifted vibes from anybody yet? And what about our trusted cobbler? (Ironically, I thought about hinting to xem myself, but couldn't find a way to do it unconspicuously enough...) Let's see if I can find anything.
Till later,
Pitchwolf

didn't see your message before sending mine (was a bit distracted by having the plumber in the house).

Yeah, it's been a somewhat suboptimal outcome, but let's not panic. At least I've managed to fool Lottie, who can be a fearful wolf-spotter at times. And I appreciated Boro's defense, of course. Do you think he could perhaps be our cobbler?

I suppose you mean her #58 with her talk about 'sorting out what she is' and 'pinning the entire wolf-pack'? Now you mention it, I see the possibility. There's also that 'genius we can trust' stuff from early in the Day. Could be a candidate for dinner.

Bah, I totally overlooked her vote for me in my quick read-through! Do you mean 'special' as in gifted? I don't think Zil mentioned anything about secret roles in this game, did he?

I will, once I've sorted them.

I had that thought about Boro as well (that he might be the cobbler) but it's probably just due to our knowledge of your wolvery - any support is going to look potentially cobblerish.

My worry about Sally is purely because she latched onto you so quickly. Of course it could be just luck on her part; but she's certainly a seer-candidate.

I hesitate to kill her now because I think it points to your guilt. However, judging by her list (and my non-participation yesterday) I really doubt she'd dream of me. So I propose we leave her tonight; let's see if she continues her suspicion of you tomorrow. If she calls off the attack then she's almost certainly not the seer.

I thought Wilwa could be the seer or ranger, however this is only a hunch I get from reading her posts. Not based on anything more.

So: kill candidates. Let's see. Aganzir, Greenie, and Fea are all combustible elements who can fight with each other. Let's leave them.

I think Shasta might be a good idea to lynch: he suspects you and always, always suspects me - seriously: in every single game we've played together.

I'll have another think, and want to hear your thoughts, but I'm leaning towards brutally slaughtering Shasta tonight.

We have about 2 hours to get a name in to Inziladun. I await your thoughts.

Eomer.

I went through the thread again en detail and am rather confused now. There is something to your sally=Seer idea, I must admit - she's more or less the only one who's been looking (indeed almost making an effort to look) noticeably seerish.
Which is precisely what makes me doubt that it's her. She's rather fond of cunning plans, and it would be totally like her to drop fake seer-hints and set herself up as a decoy.
Now I just had a crazy idea. Remember that little exchange between sally and Lottie early in the Day? "we need a genius" - "I get the hint"? Could that possibly have meant "I need someone to act as seer to give me cover" - "all right, I'll do it"? Or am I imagining things?
Problem with that is, how could they have known to trust each other? Only if seer-Lottie had dreamed ranger-sally N1 so they'd gotten to PM, it seems (which isn't good for us but not too bad either, since it means we haven't been dreamed yet). But then again, it wouldn't make sense for the ranger to attract our attention and get killed, depriving the seer of protection.
*noise of Pitchie's brilliant little theory collapsing*

I've also an inexplicable hunch that there's something going on between sally, Shasta and wilwa (meaning either sally-Shasta or sally-wilwa) - don't know if it's just me reacting to their suspicion, but I'm a little scared of an early seer-ranger conspiracy against us. On the other hand, sally's also been suspicious of the other two, so maybe not.

If sally's not the seer, I haven't really got an idea who could be. Probably someone I'm not thinking of. And I'm afraid I haven't found out much about the rest of the world (other than that they're all innocent and juicy). What about you?

So, should we eat sally and find out whether she tastes seerish? Or do we go for the classical no-trail kill - e.g. someone like skip? Or something completely different?
Speaking of the kill, which of us should send it in? I can do it, if we reach a decision soonish, but it's bedtime for me in about an hour (~2200 GMT or at least not much later).

What do you say?

Pitchwolf

P.S. Just read your last and agree about sally (see above) and keeping the 'combustible elements'. And I'd be not at all averse to having some Shasta; rare, please!

Inziladun know we choose Shasta. If you suddenly think of an objection then you are free to let Inzi know.

I will PM Inzi now as it's past bedtime!

Hope it's a wise choice!

Happy hunting,

Eomer.

Keep your eyes peeled and play smart! But more importantly: play lucky.
