Shasta went quite consistently after
Inzil and me since day 1 (his initial reason being BW confusion), and also didn't trust
Pitch. He considered voting for either
Glirdan or me and went for
Glirdan in the end (mwahaha).
On day 2, he suggests the BW is someone who looked seerish, mentioning
Nog as a potential candidate (which would "point at one or more of
Greenie,
Pitch,
Wilwa, and
Agan as wolves," me being the most likely wolf in the bunch - later he says an
Aganwolf doesn't make sense in the context of the theory which also casts doubt on the other three being wolves). He and
Inzil argued about
Eomer after
Inzil suggested
Eomer looked more like the seer who had dreamed me a wolf than
Nog did because
Nog was so explicit that I was the cobbler.
Anyway he pushed
Nog's being the BW very strongly (although he also mentioned the no trace people
Eomer,
sally,
Kath &
Form as possible kills). I'm inclined to think he was trying to take a distance from
sally in case she died before him so we wouldn't find a link back to
Shasta... and he says it'd be useful to speculate on who the BW is because the fact that the wolves attacked her is a big piece of information. And because
sally was pretty much a no trace kill, it would've been convenient for the wolves to make us focus on that.
Shasta finds
EW's vote for
Eomer fabricated-looking and safe, and calls
wilwa and me wolfish for saying there's no use trying to find the BW before we know more. He argues with
wilwa and to a lesser degree also me and
Pitch, and expresses contempt for
Form's motivation. He's neutral on
Eomer but "inclined to see if he steps it up tomorrow (last chance,
Eomer!)"

You don't want to vote for my dear one or I, and yet you find us both guilty? How interesting.

There's something weird about this comment. It's a reply to me after I said I suspected both
Nerwen and
Shasta but didn't want to vote for them that day. It's oddly... self-conscious, if you know what I mean. It looks like he was accusing me of not voting either of them... or kind of like "She doesn't want to vote for people she suspects! Guilty!" And it actually makes me feel worse about
Nerwen.
Out of
Eomer, me,
EW,
wilwa and
Form I looked the worst and
wilwa the best, but he ended up voting for
Volo (crossing with his reveal). He then called for three more votes for
Eomer, but it didn't basically mean anything because
Volo was the only remaining voter around.
I wonder how much we can make of
Shasta's day 3 posts because
EW voted for him quite early (and his post must have alarmed the wolves,
Shasta included, so he might have been preparing for his death already then).
He banters with
Nerwen in a friendly tone, says he seems to remember
Eomer is more involved as a wolf but he might still vote for him on principle, and disagrees with
Greenie: "I don't really see why having principles automatically makes you wolvish." They were talking about
Kath, and that's not what
Greenie said, she just pointed out it would be convenient for a wolf. He criticised
Inzil for calling
EW an easy vote and voting for
Kath himself (who hadn't shown up yet that day). He wanted to vote for
Eomer & me (plus a couple of dead innocents), didn't want to for
wilwa,
Lottie &
Greenie, and could vote for
Kath &
Form (and
sally) on principle but probably wouldn't unless things changed. He was neutral on
Pitch and
Nerwen. I'm not going to start any "he probably didn't put his fellows in the same category" stuff because it's impossible to know what a wolf would do in a certain situation... but it's worth pointing out that he probably knew he'd die if
EW was revealed as the seer, and his intent was therefore to ensure that his fellows survive. However there are a million ways for that, and if someone wants to analyse it, go ahead, but I won't.
And I'm going to ignore everything
Shasta said yesterday because it was meant just to confuse us, and I think the only thing we might be able to find there is the cobbler (and even that's not a given).
**
Shasta suspects (but never votes - everyone he actually voted is dead by now):
Eomer
Agan
Friendly with:
Nerwen
Quarrels with:
wilwa
Pitch
(
Agan)
Very little interaction:
Form
Greenie
Kath
Lottie
Based on this, I'd put people (myself excluded, obviously) in this order. From the most likely fellow to the least:
Eomer - an enigma that could go either way, but to me he looks more wolfish than innocent. The way
Shasta keeps bringing him up but never acts on it doesn't really speak in his favour (but then, he did the same with me).
Kath - very little interaction but
Shasta's subtle defense of her by semi-questioning Greenie doesn't look too good.
Nerwen - not much game-related interaction except occasional agreeing with each other which would be convenient for them as a wolf-pair. Plus the quote I provided above.
Form - nothing speaks for his being
Shasta's fellow, but nothing speaks against it, either.
Pitch - an argument but not much else.
Greenie - because he twisted what she said of
Kath.
wilwa - her argument with
Shasta looks quite innocent.
Lottie - because I'm willing to consider her a known innocent, anyway.
Note that this is only based on what
Shasta said of people, not what they said of him. I might take a look at it later unless someone else would like to (which, to be honest, I wouldn't much mind

).
