I don't know what Zil was thinking of, but in my eyes Nerwen was rather quiet, balanced and non-committing even by her own usual standards (which is why I put her in my 'unsure/suspect' category yesterDay), so I'd imagine to both packs she could have seemed either a rival wolf or an innocent gifted; therefore not necessarily the logical choice, but a logical choice.

Logical for two reasons. One is the fact that Nerwen has quite a fearsome reputation, and justifiably so, for wolf-hunting. The second is that on Day 1 in this game she wasn't terribly active, and thus would have left little trail.

I said yesterDay that TEWie's early posts didn't feel quite right to me, but all in all, it rather looks to me like he's somewhat out of WW practice after a long interval and trying hard to get back the feel for it. (I don't know how many games he's actually played before his temporary retirement, so if someone could enlighten me whether he's a true veteran or has just played a few games now and then, that'd be nice. Thanks.) That's not saying he can't be a wolf, of course, but if you want to convince me, try harder.

It doesn't pay to underestimate someone on the basis of newness or a long absence. I'm only going off what I see. If you're not 'convinced', that's fine.

x/d with Pitch's last

Okay, well, that would clarify it a bit. I just got the feeling that you sounded a bit too "confident" about this. For that matter, these of course are reasons, but still a bit curious as to why both the packs thought about the same person. Hm, it would be fun to try to run a simulation of several packs of people and try whether there'd be a person who, if in any of the packs, would not want to have Nerwen killed, and thus making one get a clue that he or she is an innocent, but I guess my knowledge of everybody's psychology is not yet on that high level, not to mention the number of combinations possible...

Well. Anyway, I might led Inzil slide a bit backwards among my suspects now, but still there is something to think about...

OK, who else is still alive?

Shasta - dead Lover walking, 'nuff said.
TEWie - see my #191 for what I think of him.
Boro - I like it that he didn't completely fall out of his chair with enthusiasm to embrace Nog as the true Seer. On the other hand, I think the question of Nog's alignment (or his being a real Seer or a decoy) was beside the point as far as the pragmatics of voting Lommy or not were concerned. On the third hand, he was probably trying to get an interesting response from Nog by questioning him as long as the iron was hot, so to speak, which was rather a good idea, as well as probing who would latch on to his alleged doubts. All in all, looking rather goodish.
Zil - needs some more thought and re-reading.

EDIT: x-ed w/ Zil, 2 Legates and Nog

OK, I just went back to check what exactly you said:

I have to go to sleep! Too late, incredible, why? I cannot think about it now. Nogrod! Why? Okay. I can't think about it now. GOOD NIGHT. Posting and voting as I have decided before. No other chances. (This effectively means, crossed with all the Nogrod stuff!!!!)

Sorry, you didn't really say what I thought and claimed you'd said. I plead guilty of following Kit's representation of you based on a mixture of my memory of that post and what you said about Nog toDay, without checking what you really said at the time. I apologize for that and agree that Kit was misrepresenting you.
This doesn't touch my other reasons for suspecting you as given in my #189.

EDIT: removed one redundant 'toDay' in the paragraph before the last.
