Mac and
Shasta then.
Mac's bogus post on me is the only one he's made. And it looks pretty wolvish to me. Add to it
Shasta's follow-up and later trying to withdraw from it. It wouldn't be impossible they both are wolves who tried to put the ball rolling.

You raise my eyebrow there.
this really fits the "passively encouraging the village to discuss nonsense while appearing to be no part of that discussion"-cliché

When a player says that someone "rubs them the wrong way" or that s/he "doesn't sit right" with her/him - or that they "raise the eyebrow" - but will not bring forwards anything more solid I'm smelling a rat. Why? Because everyone has hunches and feelings but a villager seldomly tries to build up general distrust just based on a hunch with nothing to support it. An innocent villager normally stands up for her/his case when s/he has something. With the wolves it's different as they have no actual case or any real suspicion as they are trying to get an innocent to the gallows.
They also sneak their attitudes in.
Mac agrees there was little else to talk at the beginning... and then he goes adding: "but still". "But still" what? Someone with good intentions wouldn’t try to cast a shadow on someone in that way.
They also love to stick with anything that can be misrepresented. I was not wishing to discuss nonsense but answered
Legate quite definitively. I also tried
Legate to see what he would answer to my suggestion of wishing to listen if he had reasons. (Sidenote: I must say I'm pretty baffled with
Legate’s response. In a way his quick rejection of the subject feels sincere but then again his confidence in my judgement feels a bit strange as well).
Generally it makes me wonder why such a bright player like
Mac had nothing to say at that point of the game but to bring forwards all this "out of thin air nothing" about my posts. I mean yes I might be mistaken as when some people just jump on you with this kind of nonsense you tend to feel they are wolves trying to get you. But at this point it's my best explanation to
Mac's behaviour.
Shasta has an air of forced lightness in his posting, playing with the names included. Like
Rikae pointed out he seems "overeager to participate and rather nervous". Also it looks like he's all the time throwing whimsy suspicions left and right and reacting to even smallest things and backing away constantly to fit the mood. It would fit my view of a
Shasta-wolf perfectly.

Okay. These are what I think about them now and why I find them suspicious. I'd like to hear of
Mac a bit more though before actually going on to vote for him. The same goes for
Shasta. If
Mac starts posting his normally helpful stuff I'd be happy not to vote for him and rather vote for someone who doesn't contribute.
That remains to be seen.
