Yes, you evil wolf you! You jumped off that sinking ship at the very last moment.

Oh yes! I think you succeeded there.

So, the last day I was trying everything I could think to get the wolves to use their votes. I did the best I could to make it look like their only option was to use their bonus or they would blow the game...that was an epic failure.

Basically, with Greenie, I was trying to think of winning long term, not just one day. The plan was to try and have Fea be the only person with bonus, but I figured the wolves weren't going to play nicely. Greenie had spent her 10 bonus on Fea, which meant I knew the wolves would wait around for the innocents to use up their bonus to save her, and that way they could horde them for the next day. Whether we knew who they were or not, wasn't going to matter if they had the bonus advantage after we lynched Greenie.

So, I was attempting to get everyone to dump their bonus. And if we (the remaining innocents) combined all of our bonus against someone trying to hold onto them, we would force them to use it and I was confident we'd get a baddie. That's why I went after Izzy, until she obliged. Once she used her bonus, I believed she was innocent, which meant Lari was a baddie, but I had no idea she was even present. It was either Gwath or Shasta, as the other and once Gwath gave 1 bonus, then said something like "oh we're supposed to use all of them?" I thought he was a wolf trying to hold his power for the next day.

That too was an epic fail, because Lari and Shasta were hording their bonus, but I had no idea they were even around, and the people doing the actual posting (Izzy and Gwath) were the ones who looked like they were trying to keep their bonus to have a baddie advantage the next day.
Okay, that makes some sense. Some. Not much, but it no longer looks like you went crazy. Still, the idea of thinking longterm on a Day when you were an inch away from sudden death seemed really strange. Of course, by that time I knew everyone's roles--the phantom was kind enough not to leave me in utter darkness, though knowing the odds actually made watching the endgame worse.

Seer's Journal coming up...
