Reactions to The Wolf-warrior's plight.

Note:"irrelevant" posts are those in which players defended themselves or other players (other than EW), or replied to earlier comments. Posts judged relevant are those including any comment on EW, any suspicion of another player, and vote-posts. (Also banter, just in case it's an attempt at distraction..)

Missing numbers are posts by Inzil, who I think is in the clear.

#60.

The Elf-Warrior has only made one post so far but there's just something about the timing and the subject matter and the phrasing of that post that seems a bit sinister to me.

Especially the last part, which I highlighted. There's something potentially euphemistic about that phrase. Possibly veiled wolfish banter. Only one way to find out:

++The Elf-warrior

At this time there was one vote on Greenie (Eomer), two on Fea (Greenie and Pitch) and one on Sally (Agan).


Sally (#61) –irrelevant.


Lottie (#62). On EW "Personally, I think it's just banter. It came early in the Day and I think someone else had even mentioned food in their banter post earlier." (In same post, mildly defends Pitch, Wilwa and Fea; will "keep an eye" on Shasta.)


(#63) Sally votes Pitch.


Fea (#64) –irrel.


Wilwa (#65). –irrel.


Boro (#67). Banter.

Sally (#68). –irrel.


Sally (#70). –irrel.


#71.

Anyways, the only people who got checks under "wolf" are Agan, Vanilwuffin, and Boro. Boro also has three "innocent" checks, however, while Vanilwuffin has one "innocent" check. The only other people of note were Fea, who got a whopping four "cobbler" checks and one "innocent" check, and Eomer and TEWie, who got nothing. I might vote for one of them for being so quiet.

Wilwa (#72) –banter.


Sally (#73). Banter, thinks Boro's post at #67 is "weird".


#74.

Lottie (#76) corrects Fea on EW's gender; banter.


Fea (#77) apologies to EW, saying she thought he was The Great Elven Warrior.


Boro (#78). –semi-irrelevant: explains why he will not vote Agan, Fea or Pitch.


Sally (#79) asks Lottie to explain her "checks" (see #71).


Wilwa (#80) comments on the wide spread of the votes; has no real suspect but will probably vote someone already voted so as not to make a throwaway. Does not want to vote Fea, Sally or Greenie; "clueless" about Pitch and The Wolf-warrior. Might vote one of them.


And now Mr Fenris himself, on Fea's mistake:

It's a matter of self preservation, mah dear.

Comment: Oddly, nobody seems to pick up the rather sinister tone of this post– Wolf-warrior was, after, casting a likely death-vote, and in danger himself. He just seems so relaxed about it– could this all have been planned? A foolhardy strategy with only three wolves in the pack, though.


#82.Reply to Sally (#79) asking about "checks".

Anything that jumped out at me as innocent, wolvish, or cobblerish, I marked down. It wasn't a very sophisitcated system at all.

As for the voted people, I won't vote Pitch (he's my second most trusted person, apparently). Not Sally or Greenie, either...and almost definitely not Fea. TEWie it probably is, then...

EDIT: xed with TEWie, and maybe more people, since I haven't checked to see who ended the last page yet.

#83.

EDIT: x'd sine Muffin's quoted post. Ah, the prodigal Elf appears....

#84. Response to The Wolf-warrior's vote-post.

Now you are forcing my hand to you or Fea, and you weren't someone I said "no lynch."

A weak reason for voting EW– he was in danger precisely because the votes were spread out. It does indeed look "forced".
(You know, I don't know about likely, but it would certainly be bloody hilarious if the wolves were EW, Fea and Boro, and this post respresented Boro wringing his hands in despair.)


#85. Response to Sally at #83.

so that leaves me with:

++Pitch

x'ed with Boro

#86.

Sorry, TEWie.

#89. (Response to Boro at #84 and EW's vote-post. 2 minutes after DL.)

Comments: Well, I'll take my hat off to the baddies. If any wolves were around in the latter part of the Day, when The Wolf-warrior started to get into trouble, they played it very cool indeed. Nobody hit the panic button at any point; however Sally (#83) and Wilwa (#85) are the ones who look most as if they might be trying to rescue him at the eleventh hour. (Sally does a Legate-180 at #89, but that's too late to mean anything, either way.)

Lottie and Boro look better– they both cast what each must have thought would be the decisive vote on The Wolf-warrior. (Boro crossed with Lottie.) At this point both Fea and Pitch were also available for lynching, and they couldn't both be wolves if either of the others were.

EDIT: X'd since Agan at #115 (this took a long time, and there were interruptions.)
