First Now I need to go back and see who was eaten
A world without weird people is like vanilla ice cream without the sprinkles.

Third. Stephie was eaten. NOOOO!!! And the round didn't time out.
May all affected by the earthquake be safe. May god be with you, and we're all praying for you.

No, of course it didn't time out. These are my pets, dear friends! They know how displeased Duchess becomes when the night lasts too long. They were swift and not so merciful to poor stephiesd.
I can't say for certain, but perhaps they solved the clue... which indeed WAS for steph. You all were so close, but so far.
UC Davis - where steph is attending school was part of the clue. Easier for those of you who know her, naturally. But also in Osama Bin Ladin himself, who shares a birthday with her. We hope she has many more birthdays, and Osama not many more.
The clue for this round... will come in a bit. I've got to toss the dice again and choose some other human to clear. BTW the seer is still with you, may his/her wisdom guide you.

Clue time! Remember, this clears someone, so let's not have the confusion from last round.
She stood alone and made a wish on the evening star. Tomorrow would be the happiest day, a day of romance, and she longed to hear the bridal ballad.
I copied the clue into google, but there were no obvious matches. I'm thinking it's from a novel that you can't find on the internet. Any ideas?

Morning! Sorry to see you got munched, Stephie. Not sure if the wolves ate you because they figured out the clue, or because you did. Either way, d'oh...

I agree with jtolley: the sentence looks like a line from a novel. Or it's just a clue about weddings, I don't know. Gotta do some work right now, but I'll be back to do what I can to help.

Y'know, I saw that and thought "I wonder if someone goes to that school, or lives near it," but I never followed up. And it didn't even dawn on me to think of Osama as central to the clue. Oh well, wouldn't have saved Stephie even if I had solved it...I agree with jtolley: the sentence looks like a line from a novel. Or it's just a clue about weddings, I don't know.

I could swear that this line is from an Edger Allen Poe poem, I'm not sure which one but I am sure it is. Also, several of his poems are listed in the clue :
She stood alone and made a wish on the evening star. Tomorrow would be the happiest day, a day of romance, and she longed to hear the bridal ballad.

Wow! Good catch, Toucan. Can't be coincidence that 3 of his poems' titles wound up in that sentence - I bet Poe is the key element here.

Of course, it clears talenpoe
Okay, I have a theory here. I was looking over the posts and voting record last round and realized that BB tried to solve the clue pointing at Garaph. We know that Garaph isn't cleared but that's not the point is it. However, even after everyone mentioned that the clue clears a player BB didn't change his vote.
Now I'm not trying to start anything big but I've played with BB many times and he just isn't someone who makes subtle mistakes and even more so he is always checking in on the games he plays. He still didn't change his vote.
So - I'm thinking that BB is really suspicious right now and might be our first wolf. I'm going to enter a vote for him - if he cares to explain why he didn't change his vote I'll change my vote for him. But right now that's my only real lead.

Note DS's white print.
I didn't change my vote because after I voted, there was alot of extracurriculars going on, and when I got home at 9 or so it was nght already. I thought the clue was for wolves, not to clear people, but I was obviously wrong. It didn't matter, since we didn't shoot gargph.
Good to know we've cleared Poe, but it sort of sucks not having any wolf clues. Although Toucan is voting for me, I don't think he's a wolf, I;'m not getting into a mirror-image social trap, where one person sees their enemy in the same way their enemy sees them.
I'm going to go back and search for suspicious activity.
I am now off of dialup and on very fast wireless internet, so look for me on Pogo under the same Username!

As I said I'm not convinced that BB is a wolf ... problem is I have no clue whatsoever who a wolf is. I know that Talenpoe isn't so that's good. Anyways, we need to get the round rolling. Anyone have any ideas?

Too bad, so sad. Really, clues are not part of the game as it was originally created. But as people complain when they don't get them, I've made your job easier - slightly. One less person to suspect this round.
I will say you have indeed solved the clue - leave it to Toucan to get the literary clue!

I can get the (round) ball rolling with a vote for my first round suspect.
Other than that, I am having a tough time getting my mind around clues that clear humans... I *think* that I like it...but man am I struggling to contribute to the game...
Edit to leave some space for D to put in a secret wolf hint since she forgot to put it in the above post:
______________ start of secret hint_____________
Duchess is awesome

Again, great solve, Toucan. Pity it will probably lead to the demise of Talan tonight...
As for ideas on voting, how about shooting a wolf? Sorry, couldn't help it - the wiseacre in me just had to.
Shooting inactives/non-posters is always an option, but when nights don't time out, it seems pretty pointless. I have terrible wolf-dar, so I'll probably end up voting pretty much at random. But I'll wait 'til the end of the round before I do so; maybe someone else has a better feeling for a wolfie.

Okay Numpty, I'm confused, you said you were going to vote for your first rounds suspicion and then voted for yourself. You suspect yourself of being a wolf?

Please see last round. And round 1 from my previous game. And probably the game before that too...
Okay, so in "normal" clue rounds, it is normal for wolves to not be that interested in solving clues since it will help catch a wolf. In this round, it is not in the human's interests to publicly solve clues since it helps the wolves get rid of people who cannot be wolves.
So why was the clue so publicly solved this round? Could it be a wolf trying to guide the other wolves in who to eat?
I'll change my vote accordingly...
You are correct- she is awesome!

Duchess, we know that you are awesome. No need to state the obvious. Lol.
Going along with what numpty said, I think that someone who publicly outs the answer to a clue can seem a bit fishy, but I am not going to jump to conclusions right away.
I will hold my vote for a little while longer.
tengaged.com = Win.

right now i not getting anywhere... don't be mad later but, i am your seer and
juliana97 is a wolf!

Hmmmm. As you might suspect, I have something more than a passing interest in Poe's work, so concluded fairly quickly that the clue was about me. I feel like a character in Prejean's book, but that's life. Maybe the wolves won't be hungry tonight.
After the discussions last round following BB's public solution to the human clue, I was surprised to see the answer blurted out quite so openly. I don't know whether Toucan is indeed a wolf, but would like to know whether Her Grace has created a talkbox for her wolves. If so, then it makes no sense for Toucan to have posted the solution here rather than there; so that might actually clear him (well, of being a wolf at least). If not, then it's the best target I've got for casting my vote.
Edit: Was going to vote for Toucan until/unless Duchess advises that the wolves do have their own talkbox. However, with Chang's announcement, I'm changing to Juliana.

Whoa, lots to read this round, so here are my thoughts on the things that are happening.
With regards to the clue, good job Toucan, but I'll admit it's pretty suspicious that you would reveal it so early. On the other hand, look what happend to Steph last round - she was eaten before she could tell us who she thought it cleared. But, It would have better if toucan didn't say anything about the clue at all and revealed it near the end of the game.
Chang's post is weird. It seems strange that the seer would oust himself so early. I don't know what to think. I'll vote for Juliana or Chang, but I want to hear what other people think about this first.

Wow! Lots of posts and it is hard to follow who is accusing who. I like the logic of the wolf solving the clue because it doesn't really seem to be in the interest of any humans to announce their discovery. Voting for Toucan.
Please correct me if this logic has already been proven wrong but I haven't noticed. (That wouldn't surprise me!)

UGHHH, I just realized I have RL things to do until the end of the round.
I'm going to vote for Juliana. If Chang is really the seer, we'll know when ds tells us Juliana's identity.

Okay, Now I'm really stumped. I am suspected of being a wolf because I solved the clue publicly. What other way is there to solve the clue? I thought the point of the clue was to solve it and let everyone know who was cleared so that we don't vote that person out.
Anyways, changing vote to juliana.
BTW ... just to note, emma not changing her vote to juliana when chang just declared that she is a wolf and he is seer is suspicious. But I'm also suspicious of chang because he so easily admitted his seer status.

I had that figured out before, but I had to go to school before I could post it. Sorry I havn't been active. I have had a lot of homework.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

The fact that emma is voting for Toucan, even though chang, as our seer, said that juliana was a wolf worries me. I'm thinking about voting her if I survive the night.
But for now, Juliana seems to be the way to go.
tengaged.com = Win.

Yeah I'm gonna vote Juliana too, but I find it hard to believe that someone seers a wolf on their first try.
A world without weird people is like vanilla ice cream without the sprinkles.

Whoa! I haven't been on for a few hours! I am changing my vote now! Sorry for the confusion.
Got to go!
Got to go!
Juliana runs with scissors... and gets shot!
The suspense is killing me... well, no actually, it isn't... I've known the whole time that she was human.
The wolves do indeed have a secret pen. Seems unfair, doesn't it? They have all the advantages in this game... wasn't that the point?
Don't worry humans, if you can't get a wolf in the next round, I'll toss you a little clue in round 4. It won't be easy though, but my wolves can handle the challenge.
