    I agree. The question is, whether the traitor yesterday tried to steer voting away from GD. Or, once they saw that GD was vulnerable, made a strategic decision to go with the voting there, keep the heat off themselves and do everything to protect the remaining wolf who is not on our radar yet.
    If I survive today/tonight, I think I should be able to spot which is the Seer’s message tomorrow.

    Yea, agreed, although the only vote that didn't overly impact anything was Grrwood's. Everyone else had an opportunity to sway the voting.

    I am yet to find anything meaningful in the two messages in terms of clues as the styles seem pretty similar now. Hopefully two more messages tomorrow make it clearer.

    Glad to see that I'm not in your sights for now Moog

    I'd be suspicious of the situation myself too. If I wasn't already confirmed good by the seer, it would be an obvious and understandable lynching tonight.

    We are a victim of our own success. 2 evil already dead, one through virus and the other as a result of excellent work by some posters in catching Going Down. With only 1 or 2 evils left though, that means it's harder to find them.

    Also glad that we have until longer tonight to vote as I can read through posts and messages better after work. Which I'd better get back to...

    Morning! Well and truly confused now.

    For some clarification on my vote just didn’t see any real sense in the “character” theory as it implicated nearly everyone and as Mike was pushing for it so hard I went for Mike. Simple as that really.

    As for today, how could a wolf be sitting with Steve and not draw the attention of The Guardian? And why would he not kill him? What has to happen for that to make sense?

    My theory is that a wolf wan't sitting with Steve, Steve just appeared as the wolf. Otter said one wolf left, not two, suggesting there was no additional wolf.

    Steve said that he appears as a wolf whenever a wolf visits.

    So Otter’s created a new role right? As I’ve never seen that before. A quick Google didn’t help.

    I think the gunslinger is potentially Otter's creation too and obviously the infected player (Burnsy) so I don't think it is unreasonable to think it is a new role.

    That doesn't make sense does it? Is Otter just messing with us?

    Right, think I'm all caught up now. Well done to those of you who caught Going Down. I think he said it was his first game? Agree with those who reckon we caught the Alpha, new message style would suggest either a different wolf or a total change in approach. Gut says that the second message is the seer, which again gives us very little to go on.

    Very confused about the write up, surely Steve wouldn't just be outed as a wolf? Some kind of reverse tinker? Not sure what make of this, especially as he has been named good by the seer.

    Completely agree with everything you've said.

    "The wolf nodded" has been used before to indicate two wolves going for the same kill, and thus revealing each others identities. However, you're right that the number of kills suggest there is only one wolf.

    The traitor will likely have been trying to steer the vote away from GD and towards the non-evil character with the highest number of votes (me).

    We know Gags is Good, so Squibba is my prime suspect.

    Can understand why it would look fishy but I genuinely didn't have the time to catch up with the messages and didn't want to have an impactful vote. I'm all sorted here now so won't have this problem again thankfully.

    An interesting thing I've come across whilst googling:

    Lycan (role)
    Lycans have no inherent powers, and begin the game on the village team.
    However, if a lycan is targeted by the wolves at night, they turn into a wolf instead of dying (thus joining the wolf team).
    Lycans are seen as villagers by the seer

    I wonder could we have something like this on our hands? However, it wouldn't really make sense for Otter to tell us straight away that the person is a wolf? Could easily be a reverse-tinker kind of situation where steve is good but the wolves think he is evil.

    Squibba is my prime suspect as well (as per post #17).

    I think he is the traitor however which leaves us with one remaining wolf.

    Yeah, there's no way a traitor would allow a wolf to die by voting for themselves.

    You could still be a wolf though, as you wouldn't necessarily know who the traitor was.

    Interesting. I'm also very confused by the steve situation in Otter's post today, but it would make sense if he had been a lycan and so turned in to a wolf after the first attack (meaning he could be one now). Would Otter really add such a role to the game without having told us at the beginning though?

    Also, what would a 'reverse tinker' be?!

    You shouldn't be fooled by that though - Grrwood voted literally a minute before the deadline, at a point when GD was already 2 votes ahead of both me and you, so his vote was and would have been totally irrelevant by then anyway.

    It's a bit too convenient that they waited until that point to vote.

    A tinker is an ordinary villager who is mistakenly seen as “evil” by the Seer if viewed. So I imagine a reverse tinker is an evil player mistakenly seen as “good” by the Seer.

    Literally a minute?? We can all see that I voted at 8.14 and the deadline was 9pm... plus you were still waiting for CB to vote as well? I get where you're coming from but there's no need to lie

    I've put all of the messages together.

    If message 1 today is from the wolf, then they've done a very good job at mimicking the seer's style from the previous two days. From first glance, message 1 looks a lot more stylistically similar to the very consistent seer messages from previous days than message 2.

    Has anyone noticed something I'm missing? If so, don't tell me what it is but tell me to look harder!

    The one thing that’s confusing me in the write up is the nod between the wolves.
    Either it’s a nod from the visiting wolf who thinks he’s seen a fellow wolf but has been tricked.
    Or, steve harrow is this lycan character and the nod is acknowledging that he is now a wolf.
    The only way of knowing for sure is to see how many kills there are tonight, but that leaves Team Good vulnerable if it’s the latter scenario and there are two successful kills for Team Evil tonight. Although I guess steve Harrow would then be lynched tomorrow.

    Message 2 is more similar than message 1. I think I’ve spotted the clue but don’t want to say what it is.

    I'm not sure it is.

    I'll look further into it, but from what I can see there's a pretty consistent template.

    Many of the consistencies are also in message 1 today, but have been lost if message 2 today is from the seer.

    Many, but not all, of the consistencies are in message 1 today. Look again.

    I’ve had another look (like you, I put the messages together) and think I’ve seen a couple of clues now. If I survive today & tonight, I can put my theories to the test with tomorrow’s messages.

    I think I may have spotted a clue too but might be a case of trying too hard to find one!

    Ah I hadn't actually thought of this but it wouldn't explain why Steve didn't leave his house if he was a wolf. I was thinking reverse tinker in the sense that if a wolf went to him, the wolf would think he was evil as opposed to good.

    Reverse tinker is nothing. It derailed a whole game once as people turned themselves inside out with theories around the possibility of one in the game.

    Obviously I’ve been named as evil in a message today so I’m vulnerable. I know that I’m not and so now also know that Message 2 is the Seer’s. But who does that leave to vote for? What are everyone’s thoughts?

    I'm just wondering why the seers message has changed styles at all! The seer shouldn't change consistencies across messages at all, as that only benefits the wolf.

    However I haven't really suspected you before now and there is also the genuine possibility that you are a tinker, so Squibba is still my main concern today.

    I'm pretty sure that Message 1 today is from the same wolf as the previous days.

    Sure, they've tried to copy the same message template as the Seer from the previous 2 days, but their style of writing is actually still the same.

    Of those that so far have assumed GD had been the main wolf, it would make sense for Grrwood to try and claim it given I reckon there's a good chance of him actually being the main wolf.

    nornironhorn I can understand them assuming it as they fully bought in to the GD = noob theory.

    miked, I'm not really sure what they're playing at right now tbh.

    HH24 is waaay down the list of suspects for anything tbh - for instance, even before them there's the chance that steve is either the tinker or even a lycan.

    I'm also fine with voting for Squibba today though btw, based on them trying to divert attention away from GD yesterday and their infrequent contributions (and general posting style).

    In what way has the seer's message changed style? To me both messages look to be in a similar style to the seer's previous two messages but my gut feeling is message 2 today is from the seer.

    Afternoon all. Late posting again today due to a lie in and the 10 day health visitor check up on the little man, where he proceeded to do a giant poo.

    Well done everyone yesterday. Some of your intuitions are right on point. I was just going from the messages. I should try to concentrate more on the other posts.
