Werewolf XLII, Mist in the Barrow Downs

[Gwathagor]

I better stick up for myself now, lest Sally's post turn into a lynch mob while I am asleep.

I asked Legate's opinion because his response would help me figure out what I think of him. Kind of a ranging shot, to see how he reacts.

The only reason I'm saving my vote is that if I cast it now, it is easier for other voters to act against it, and I want to make sure that it's as effective as possible. Then again, everyone seems to be voting at the last minute anyway, so perhaps it won't do me much good.

Good night.

Some thoughts:

If Rikae is a wolf, why did she vote for me?

At that time, it ran thus:

Mac 2, Rikae 2, Sally 1, Gwath 1.

So Rikae had a need to save herself. She could hardly vote Mac after defending him all Day– but why not Gwath or Sally? Sally was under quite a lot of suspicion, and had already voted Rikae.

And then there's the late vote by McCaber. Could the wolves be Rikae, McCaber and someone else who failed to vote (but whom they were expecting)?

...but then we're back with the problem of why they didn't vote Sally or Gwath.

If Rikae is not a wolf, then who did Menel dream of on Night2? And why did he behave as he did?

[McCaber]

Nerwen, I woke up three minutes before the DL and needed to vote fast. Either you or Mac I would have been fine with, and you were the first that came to mind. (And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for my meddling alarm clock)

I'm in a hurry but just remainding you people.

Menel was the seer.

He suspected Rikae on Day1 - with some reservations at least in the beginning but enough to give his vote to her in the end.

He jumped on Rikae with full force - with no reservations whatsoever from the beginning of Day2.

Need we say more?

Night2 dream = Rikae = wolf.


She plays beautifully and kudos for that but there are just facts contradicting her words.

Only Menel acting in the most weird and unresponsible way could change that assessment. And he's a seasoned player.

[Nerwen]

Look, at this point it would take a lot to convince me not to vote Rikae– but weird things do happen sometimes.

If she's a wolf, who are the others?

I mean, there's Legate, Lily and McCaber (and you, Nogrod), who've been creeping around in the background most of the time. You'd think at least one wolf would be trying that.

Then there's Sally– apart from everything else against her, Rikae has a point here:

And Shasta– I hadn't seriously suspected him before, but now I really hope he's a wolf. If he's not, there's three wolves out there who can jump on that vote of his.

Finally, there's this Gwathagor character. What is he up to?

I wish I had time to read through everything, but I can't. I've got an audition tomorrow.

Edit: fixed bolding.
