I have a feeling this will be a last minute wagon again...

Hey Mac, I think he's calling you fat ...

With an online lecture happening simultaneously, all of this is extremely difficult to keep up with, or keep track of at all.

[Galadriel55]

Is it up to 4 candidates now? Good grief.

[Galadriel55]

6 candidates. Right?

Truth be told, I have never bluffed as big or as much as I have in this game. But did I let the Brin-vote happen because I am bluffing, or double bluffing, or triple bluffing? Or just wrecking havoc? Especially since as it's not my proposed candidate, it doesn't have as much of my own imprint, and the reasons are therefore so much more indirect. But he doesn't know that.

[Galadriel55]

I am soooo curious about so much.

[Galadriel55]

Welcome aboard, whoever is joining!

[Rikae]

O modliness, are we allowed to talk at night in the quarantine house?

[Nogrod]

I know I was thinking in the beginning that there should be quiet Nights here as well, but then again - why should it be thusly?

I can feel the need of getting to discuss this latest turn of events... so I can see how you feel.

So okay, feel free to talk also during the Nights.

I'l add the rule-change in the rules and PM hS about it.

Yay, first ever good cobbler!

Alright, you get to say that. I wrote some further comments, but in light of Hui joining us for toMorrow's vote, I have erased them. Your turn to gloat!

Hello, quarantine house! Tell you what, this lockdown thing is a real pain in the... legs? Or is that just the arrows?

Hi G55! Sorry for killing you. I'm terrible at spotting even evil Gifted, and besides, I had other priorities.

Hi, Rikae! Hah, I really shot myself in the... well, thighs... with that Mac-Zil post, didn't I? The hilarious part is, I wasn't being artificial. I didn't need to be! I'd already established I suspected both of them. I was just genuinely shocked that Zil had posted so much when he seemed to have said so little.

I actually, honestly have done my best to follow the evidence, even knowing that it wasn't true; the extent of my (conscious) wolf-editing has been ignoring a couple of things that looked sketchy. I mean, believe that or not as you will...

I'm kind of offended by Kitanna’s 'I would use profanities' post. I hope she means 'to intensify my Yes!', rather than 'I want to insult/swear at hS'.

And before you ask: I have no idea who the rest of the pack will kill, except that Kitanna pretty much claimed Ranger, so, y'know.

That's quite ok. That's the point of my role, right? I was deathly afraid of accidentally killing one of you guys on D1 by poking around too much - partially the reason why I voted Rikae in the end.

[Galadriel55]

And welcome, boss!

Well, it might have been nice to keep you around a little longer.

(I've read the QT logs - you abstained? Oh my stars, nobody will believe it...)

I haven't gone back and looked to see which of the Pack voted to lock me up - too scared to find out they never liked me anyway... :O

hS

PS: Just reread the opening blurb here... Hareth was really foresighted to insist that the infirmary still gets a vote, wasn't I?

I can hardly disagree, and if I had a tad more knowledge - or wolf spotting skills - I would have done things differently too. Still, Kit happened, so maybe it's a worthy trade-off.

Thing is, I did not disagree with the vote. In fact, I liked it better the longer the Day went on. But abstaining rather than confirming the vote just makes is more fun. It's the small things that bring us delight on this thread.

Not to put any pressure on you, but - yeah, basically all pressure on you. Sorry.


Now I have to rethink my wolf pack theories in light of D2 voting.

Maybe! I guess we'll see if she joins us toMorrow.

Since this is the thread where your fondest wish is to be outnumbered by the other side (unless it's to be The Only Good Cobbler, hi Rikae), I can see that one.

You enjoy that. I need sleep - arrows in my legs, etc. At least this time I know where the pressure will be coming from...!

(Are you Moon-Moon or am I? Either way... yeah. XD Or perhaps the real Moon-Moon was inside us all along.)

That thought passed my mind, although only after I had already posted the last narration...

Funnily enough, whoever joins you for Day3, there is still going to be a "baddie-order" in this house. Just thinking about the speculation before the game, whether everyone would just wait and listen to what the QT votes, and then "hide behind it".

Oh, imagine if Hui abstains too without offering up a candidate. The resulting discussion on the GT will be priceless.

...Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just cobbling away peacefully, I mean nobody any harm.

Well, depending on what the so-called Good Guys proffer up, maybe I just will... >:-D

Which makes me wonder what they think about the other possible gifted I tried to flag for you guys - assuming you got the flag. I suppose one of them will be dead soon. Or none - if they wanna muddy the waters: if Kitanna doesn't die toNight, she might be a candidate for suspicion toDay.

Oh yes, that would "muddy the waters". Well, I didn't personally get the flag, but then I'm barely able to figure out who the wolves are, let alone anyone else!

Ten minutes to go - who's it gonna be?

* drumroll *

[Huinesoron]

RangerKit! Oh thank the Valar, now I don't have to spend all day pretending you might be a wolf.

Since I'm sure you're wondering, and these arrows through my legs take a certain amount of pressure off, you survived Night 2 because various wolves were pretty sure you were trying to cover for the real Ranger. Good thing (for the wolves) Zil brought you out into the open yesterday...

Welcome, Kitanna!

Phew! Then I can finally say aloud that I hope Nogrod, Nerwen, Balfrog and The Barrow-Wight keep doing a great job staying above suspicion!

Although my vote yesterday was received exactly as I'd hoped, I think toDay it would be more fun to give you two free rein. Don't mind me, I think I'll take a nap.

Is Pitch really appealing to meta reasoning in order to get out from under the suspicion umbrella? Is he that desperate to look like an ordo?

To be fair, yesterDay I gave up and just skipped to the conclusion of every Wall of Text, regardless of poster. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep up with the "current events" as they were happening.

That wall of text made my eye twitch. He should be banished to his own QT thread as punishment.

Or you could make a list and I will pick from it.
Or we can both abstain until the DL and see what the other half of the thread comes up with as the "known wolf" vote.
Or, you could abstain and I would vote, in which case my vote would count over Rikae's and Kit's unless they pre-plan and band together.

Do you vote for a controversial player? For someone not widely suspected? For someone quiet? For someone who was once suspected but is not anymore? For the most suspected person at the moment? For a person never really suspected seriously? For someone that the GT has associated close with you as a potential mate? Or for someone who they decide cannot possibly be your mate? Are you triple bluffing or quadruple bluffing? And which one of these is the guiding principle?

What they don't realize is that the level of bluff rises as the stakes fall, and one QT vote 2h before DL accomplishes, well, not much. How high can we set the bar?
