I'm reserving judgement just yet. digamma's responses have been strange, considering he's the one who's been called out as a wolf. That being said, there's little else to go on.

I didn't claim that the item I had vindicates me. I said I can't falsely claim that I have/had a mask, because two people know what item I had.
Both have come forward. I have the Cloak of whispers. I told henry that when we were able to PM on Day 1 with his Robe and I used the Cloak today to talk with hoopsguy. Both have professed their "villagerness" to me. I trust them. Hopefully they trust me as well. |

It's convenient that BrianD voted for me the first day.
Look, I'm consistent. I "viewed" the person I voted for. Trust me. I'm honest. Would you like to buy this 87 Yugo? Runs perfectly. You won't have a single problem with it. |

I want to appeal to whoever can heal me out there.
1) I posted that I viewed Lathum as a werewolf. Lathum posted that he had one of the two masks. Lathum turned out to be a villager, therefore, I must be a villager. * - I'll admit that it is possible that a wolf could randomly pick a villager who turns out to have the mask. A great cover, but how lucky would that be. 2) I now have 3 silver pieces. I can purchase something that will put the hurt on the wolves. 3) Losing another villager does not help our cause. We need to keep our numbers up. That is all. |

Your first two sentences are correct. I voted for you on the first day pretty randomly. I had no reason to pick anyone so I picked you and blamed it on your choice of Beyonce as a hot woman. With no bandwagon on anyone, I didn't feel so bad about a baseless accusation. With the pendant, I figured I should probably use it right away in case I died. With still no real good target, I picked you again just to see if my initial guess was right. Turned out it was. I was hoping you would help me find other wolves, but you haven't so far. Rather than risking having that secret die with me if I ever get eaten, I put it out for all to see. On a positive note, I no longer have any secrets which make me a good wolf target, so that is just an added benefit. |

I'm not sure why a vote for Digamma from the holder of the Ring of Wisdom should hold more weight than any other vote. The Ring only gives the extra vote, not any seeing power.
Was that the only vote that Digamma picked up yesterday? If so, then the holder of the Ring split his votes. I'm not convinced that Digamma is innocent. But I'm not convinced he is guilty either and I'm inclined to point out arguments that don't necessarily hold up under my review. We have quite a few people who have not participated to the discussion over the last couple of days ... would love to hear some additional voices taking a critical look at the limited information available to us. |

I'm always suspicious, so it seems as if digamma's a lock for tonight. I don't like to bandwagon unless it looks really certain, but BrianD seems as if he's the real deal (lol...RealDeal). Actually, I'm more interested with what happens with Fouts tonight since that appears to have fallen off the radar.

Also, trying to think like a wolf for a minute here ...
How valuable is the Cloak of Whispers, relative to other items out there? If I were one of three wolves out there I think I would be trading this item in an attempt to pick up something that could hurt a wolf or villager (dart, holy water, dagger, lightning) or steal items or break items. I'm validating that Digamma has the Cloak of Whispers today. Unless you do not trust both of us, plus the second-hand information from Henry, this is a fact. Digamma is stating he has had the Cloak of Whispers for the duration AND that he has never had a mask. This doesn't sound like a wolf to me, which leads me to question BrianD. BrianD did not know that Digamma had the Cloak before today. He says that he saw Digamma as a wolf. One of these two is lying. I'm willing to be swayed on this, but as of right now Vote BrianD |

Here's one more thing that doesn't make sense to me.
Why would he wait to out me? He says he was waiting to see if he could catch me working with the other wolves, but I'm not sure how he was going to do that since his pendant was a one use item. In the meantime, we've lynched Lathum, gotten dubb killed and gotten Fouts (though he's not cleared) hit by a dart. This coming from the same guy who yesterday was not so keen on sacraficing villagers. |

This whole story is pretty flimsy. He doesn't sound like a wolf because you believe he has had the cloak the whole time and never a mask? How does that excuse him from being a wolf if brian saw him as one? You're voting for brian because he didn't know that digamma had the cloak? Please explain, because I don't get it. |

I see the logic, but I am not so sure that I buy it. Here is my explanation of hoopsguy's logic. On the first day digamma told me he had the Cloak of Whispers and still has it today. The ability to PM with someone is not a great power, especially for a wolf since he can PM with the other wolves. Since the cloak isn't a great item, then why not pass it to someone else and gain silver or another item.

How does this sound like he is or isn't a wolf? It is a pretty neutral statement that doesn't really indicate anything. Using this as a reason to say that he isn't a wolf and I need to be questioned puts you in a very bad light. If you manage to sway suspicion onto me, get me killed and find out I'm a villager, you go down as quickly as Digamma does. Are you sure you want to throw your lot in with him? |

I don't get what BrianD gains by falsly outing you Digamma. If he lied to us, he WILL be a prime lynch target tomorrow. I also know that some of those posting supporting facts about BrianD are being truthful.

Fouts, I know Digamma has the Cloak today. I don't know that he had it the whole time.
I don't know if Digamma had a mask - no one knows this other than Digamma. He maintains he did not, thus taking away the most basic villager defense against a villager accusation. If you assume that Digamma did not have a mask, then one of two things is true: 1.) Digamma is a wolf 2.) BrianD is lying, which would very strongly suggest wolf Working with these two ideas above, I tried to figure out why a wolf would keep the Cloak of Whispers instead of trading it for a more powerful item. I couldn't come up with a good reason. Thus my vote. I'm suggesting that Brian, if he is a wolf, is picking someone more or less at random. And if he is a wolf, then I think he got a little bit unlucky picking Digamma, who just doesn't seem to fit the wolf profile based on my initial review. There is a very good chance I'm wrong. And if I am then I'm going to generate suspicion. I accept that. But I'm not going to sit idly by while we are, I think, preparing to lynch the wrong guy. |

If that is the logic, it is bad logic. If you are a wolf, having the ability to PM with a villager is a great power. The wolf knows he is PMing a villager so he can easily pass himself off as a villager. That is the perfect way to hide. It also keeps other villagers from talking to each other. That is a great power. |

I accept that I will be a prime target if we lynch the wrong guy. I would be hesitant to accept that if there was still the fear of Digamma having the mask since I would think I was doing the right thing while still being wrong. Having Digamma admit that he didn't have a mask tells me that I can't be wrong. |

On the contrary, I think the ability to PM with someone is a pretty substantial power. I wouldn't pass an item like that unless I had already been passed a better item. Just because you don't have an item doesn't mean that you automatically get an item passed to you. Sure, silver is nice -- but then you have at least a few days of 'dead time' where you aren't getting anything done with no items. I still don't understand the logic of a Wolf outing himself when the odds are so stacked against them still. We're at what -- 16-3? If Brian says something ridiculous like this, and is lying, he's dead the next day. That means we have the following interplay in a best case scenario for the wolves -- Digamma lynched, villager. 15-3. Villager killed, Fouts dies from poison, villager. 13-3. BrianD lynched, werewolf. 13-2. Not much of a return for the wolves. What would they have to gain by this play? Pretty much...nothing. RA is right that we should be a little worried, but the Wolves have to be MUCH more worried -- if they lose someone soon, they're in deep crap. Making a play like this, which would completely expose someone, is rather poor strategy, I think.

Can you help me out a little here? If Digamma is a wolf then I'm obvious not keen on supporting him at this point. Yesterday we were at a point in the game where we said that either Fouts or Lathum was a wolf. Now people seem to believe that Fouts is a villager, in light of the mask/dart. The last thing I want to see happen tomorrow is that we don't have the stones to go after BrianD if Digamma is a villager. We are making decisions with the idea that we have a big lead on the werewolves - well, if they use items to pick up additional kills that can shrink in a hurry. So I don't want to just buy into the idea that Digamma is the wolf because it is the easiest thing to do in order to stay away from a lynching on subsequent days. I want to do what I can to get the vote right each and every day. Yesterday I ended up being part of the problem with Lathum getting killed and I feel bad about it. I'm trying to avoid doing the same thing today. |

Specifically, I have reason to believe Henry is telling the truth. I don't know Digamma is evil, but as I previously mentioned, BrianD has no reason to out him unless he knows that Digamma is a wolf.

It looks like I haven't voted yet, so I will. Brian has no outs if Digamma isn't a wolf. Brian has played this game before and knows that he would die if he targeted a villager at this point. He was not a suspect before pointing the finger.
I vote Digamma |

What do we do about this scenario?
--Lynch Digamma who turns out to be a villager. --Someone uses the Potion of Healing on Fouts, curing him and NOT revealing his identity. In this scenario, we have both BrianD AND Fouts looking quite like Werewolves...not to mention whoever used the Potion on Fouts (would they be identified? I don't think so). Which do we choose? One after the other? Also, what happens if someone tries to use the Potion on Fouts, and someone ELSE tries to use the Ointment? Which is resolved first, or do they both get resolved, so we'd find out what his role is?

Here are the items I would prefer as a wolf to the Cloak of Whispers (one use item)
Gloves/Lockpick - steal from target Guise - intercept pass from random Hammer - destroy item Ring - extra hidden vote Coat - can't be lynched Dagger - take away defense against wolves Dart - wound villager Holy Water - take away defense against wolves Hood/Notebook - info on item. Target someone with good item unlikely to be passed or someone who appears vulnerable Mask - wolf appears as villager Ointment - heal self or another wolf, no role reveal if held Potion - heal, no role reveal Staff - hurt, plus no lynch that day Eagles, if you believe Henry talked to Digamma on the first day, then you should believe his info where he said Digamma had the Cloak. And he held onto this one-use item for two days, instead of trading for one of the above items. It doesn't sound like a wolf to me. I'm hoping I'm wrong, because it looks like Digamma is going to be lynched today. And I realize that if he is a wolf then I'm going to go through an awful lot of scrutiny. I'm willing to take that chance, I suppose, although going after me is not reducing wolf head count. |

That's all well and good, but it makes no sense for a villager to call out Digamma unless he truly knows that Digamma is a wolf. If Digamma ends up being a villager, we have to lynch BrianD tomorrow. He said he knows Digamma is a wolf, and I think the masks are accounted for, so that will not be a valid excuse. Since BrianD spoke up first, I'm more apt to believe him. |

Just in case I don't get back on before the vote.
VOTE digamma I have no reason not to trust BrianD... if he steers us wrong, I'll vote for him before the night action is resolved.

If anyone uses the Potion on Fouts it is a wolf - there is zero upside for a villager to do this at this point in the game. If he is alive tomorrow without a villager vouching for him then I'm going to vote for him. No ifs, and, or buts.
I'm just worried about the scenario where Fouts is a wolf and is healed by wolf - in this case it won't matter if it is Potion or Ointment. But there are only three wolves, so hopefully this scenario would not come to pass. Best case is he is a villager healed by a villager using the Ointment to clear him. |
