Quote:Originally Posted by SpmAs regards the suspicion cast in my direction for making a pre-game enquiry on this matter, it is something that I would wish to establish whether I was innocent or a Wolf. If I were a Wolf, however, I would not have shared the answer to my enquiry but rather allow the original assumption that the Wolves were playing as a team (albeit without knowing each other's identity) to stand.

So establishing it here?

But the main point: is this good reasoning or lycantrophe-reasoning?What do I mean? Firstly I have done this kind of thing in few games earlier when I have been a villain. Make a revelation about the game-dynamics that is making the wolves more vulnerable - and gain a lot of trust to yourself!

Secondly I'm not sure whether this is even so daring as it seems to be more undecided one. Is this "shared information" actually bad for the wolves? More probably it might be an easy and safe piece of information to let loose? Someone would ask for it anyway so why not to strike first? Exactly the same line of thought one of my forefathers went through when he was a villain...

Thirdly it's over vague as it only points to general dynamics of the game and is not pointing to anyone in particular. So a safe bet to look like helping person but still not committing oneself to any real point-making about the others (okay, it was early in the game and this point might be a bit flawed by it, but I don't think totally flawed).

Well, these seem the best of reasons I can come up with on this weirdest of the Day1's I've ever seen...

If I'm not counting the very words of Spm himself with tp... That would indeed prove the point: a wolf would like to get rid of the other one to gain a control over the Nightly kills... and there seems to be a chance that tp is lynched. And surely Spm's points are not without a merit.

----------------------------------
I had some bad problems with the Downs (it was down for a while and ate most of my writing that is partly resurrected here) and I really need to get to sleep...

So

++Spm

I know I should tactically act differently as I have been gaining some suspicions (light or not - that will not count on most Day1's - and Roa will be just happy to vote for me too) and can't hang around any more. But I shall stick to my principles of voting with reasons, even mediocre ones, when better ones are not available.
