But here's the problem with this: the last wolf doesn't usually want to kill a seer that has pointed them out as evil, because then that wolf has to contend with a village hell bent on lynching them on the posthumous orders of the dead!Seer.

But what Form said was:

since I do incline to think Brinn is a wolf

If Brinn is the guilty party she might have thought she had some chance of talking her way out of it... better anyway than face a definite accusation toDay from the supposed Seer.

This is speculation, though. He could have been killed to frame her. (Which would suggest you're not a wolf, Fea, since you're not taking the opportunity to push Brinn's guilt.)

You might still be the snitch, though. This sounds rather snitch-ish (if that's a word)–

Or just ordo-Fea attention-seeking. As usual.

So, apparently we have two scenarios. Form was killed to frame an innocent!Brinn, and those suspecting her are more likely to be guilty.

Then, we have the reverse side of that spectrum, where she really is. The biggest question is, what evidence points to which?


Or is there an arguable case against anyone else?

Ok. I just went through all the posts and I believe Mac is innocent. He flushed out Boro.
Form kept on putting the spotlight in Brinn and now he's dead. Not sure that really looks good for Brinn. I'm leaning towards Brinn being either a wolf or the Snitch.

If the last Lover were to reveal themselves, what's to guarantee they won't be night-killed? Granted, the Ranger could protect them for as long as they could, but still...

I'd rather someone give their analysis, like Mac did, than to outrightly reveal themselves.

That's all I have to say for right now, as I'm off to work and won't be back till around 6:30 PST to post. Make sure I've got some interesting postage to read when I get home!

What, you missed the Hakon-talk?

...I'm wondering about the Hakon business: if he and Boro were packmates, you'd think Boro would have simply waited until Night so he could ask him via pm. That's not certain, though: Boro might have just got excited.

Even if the Lover hasn't picked a wolf, a couple of known innocents, or innocent + snitch would be useful... but the problem is that if the Ranger protects the revealed Lover, he can't protect anyone else, and the wolf will know this.

Huh, but once the lover revealed the roles or got their kill, wouldn't they be about the same as an ordo?

That's true, actually: I wasn't thinking clearly in my last post. It's late in my neck of the woods.

[Nessa Telrunya]

So once the last librarian knows who they are, there wouldn't really be a point in killing them anymore, would there? Unless the lover reveals their own role before their revelations, in which case there they would be a danger to the snitch and wolf. Of course, that's not likely to happen now that I've pointed that out.

Oh, there'd still be a point– known innocents are a threat to the villains– but there'd be at least one other known innocent (also, I think we can regard Mac and Nienna as almost-known innocents).
