As several people have asked about this: Shasta's "she for whom the moon doth shine" definitely refers to me. This is a long-standing joke between us.

I'm not sure about that. Say Lottie was a wolf and so was Fea– then what's to stop Lottie voting Pitch, who couldn't, in this version of events, also be a wolf?

I don't say this is quite conclusive, mind you– either of them might have guessed the other would vote The Elf-warrior, and so written him off.

No, because all the reasons people were giving for voting EW were pretty flimsy– it wouldn't look that surprising if someone objected. The problem's more the other way: it really isn't that surprising that someone objected. That is, it's a long way from being a clear sign of guilt, for either the Cupcake or the Muffin. (Interesting that Sally hung around the whole time though, when she'd cast her vote ages ago.)

That's nice, Wilwa– but people have been talking about this very point a lot, and have already raised the question of why the wolves didn't try for the Seer, or eliminate one of the Elf-voters who might be hard to lynch now, or frame someone.

It irks you that the village caught a wolf on Day One? Really?

So why vote for someone who had no 'wolf' checks, over someone who had four 'cobbler' ones? At the time she voted, voting for Fea would not have been a throwaway. Oh, I know now you're saying 'but she sealed TEWs fate, she mustn't be a wolf', but when she voted Boro had basically said he'd be voting for TEW, and I had recently said I was planning to before I changed my mind. So it could still be a wolf on wolf.

I don't know, out of the 4 votes for him, this one is the fishiest.
Thing is, though, it's not really clear what reasons Lottie had for voting EW at the time, and I'm not sure "cobbler checks" mean much when you're talking about Fea. (I'd certainly like Lottie to clarify this when she gets back, however.)

I actually agree that it's at least possible for her vote to have been wolf-on-wolf; however, calling it "the fishiest" of the four is quite a stretch, indeed. Not to mention all those other votes that weren't for a known wolf.

So, Wilwa isn't looking too good, after this post. But then she goes ahead and votes Lottie, who is probably not going to be lynchable toDay– not a good example of lupine opportunism.

I'm going to have to vote now, though, and it will probably be Vanilwa Muffin.

EDIT:typo.
