But wasn't this originally over the question of how newbie wolves were likely to act? That's gone through changes, Agan. Lately it's been the thing for their packmates to leave them in the dark on purpose, so they don't seem to know too much– but now everyone expects that.

EDIT:X'd since last post.

People in order from the most suspicious-looking to the least suspicious-looking (excluding myself and Lottie)

Nerwen
Aganzir
Mira
Winty
Legate
Shasta
Brinn
Skip


I'd prefer to vote one of the first two, but then again, I feel like I also have lots of reasons not to vote them (both of their few last posts look unwolvish).

I guess I could be talked into voting Mira or Winty, but I would feel really useless if we lynched one of them and they turned out to be innocent. It would feel more of a waste of lynch than lynching innocent Agan or Nerwen, because it's such a shot in the dark. Could you puppies talk a bit more, please?

Gah, this will be the most difficult Day vote-wise in this game this far. The previous Days felt much easier. Do you others have any ideas who you're going to vote (except that Agan is going to vote Nerwen )?

What I remember is that wolves tend to tell the cub some stuff but encourage them to ask the same questions and make the same mistakes in the thread too and look new and confused in every way... So that they know actually more and have a better grasp of things than they seem to. If there's been a trend of not telling newbie wolves anything, I'm not aware of it. In which case your comment makes more sense, I suppose. But in my opinion some strategies are just ever more popular than others, so saying that wolf tactics tend to run in cycles sounded odd to me.

I'd rather vote for Nerwen just to be on the safe side but I could vote for Mira too because Shasta did have good points against her... Plus of course I'd like it if my day 1 main suspect turned out a wolf, I wouldn't feel so useless.

Although the wolves may PM each other any coordinated retraction-move could easily draw heavy suspicion their way and would be too risky, unless at the very end of a game. But you could be right, this is my first game and I can't see all ends admittedly.

Thing is, what made me react at first was how you on Day one made it seem like dumping the retractable is a good demonstration of ones honest intentions and succinctly got rid of yours. Sally quickly followed your lead. It almost seems like you are constructing some kind of defence or divergence, to take suspicion away from you and upon the people with the option to retract intact.
