I wouldn't say dumb. What's dumb about helping your fellows? I know not wolf-on-wolfing may be regarded dumb by some, but I personally disagree. The times I have won as a wolf were the ones when me and my fellows stuck together, not when we voted each other. The profits of wolf-on-wolfing are generally overestimated - look at Nerwen here, half the village suspects her even though she voted all the known wolves. Of course, some wolf-on-wolf votes look very innocent, but they're the ones that are so risky 90% wolves wouldn't make them.

And it's not just that your voting record is eyeborw-raising but what you yourself said: a to-die Nog wolf could/would have made sure his fellow looks good and votes him, and you happen to be one of the few living players whose first vote on a wolf was on that said Day.

Lastly, with maybe the exception of Legate, we only have people whose voting record is quite off (you, Shasta) or very precise (me, Nerwen, Brinn) and I've got to suspect somebody. (Winty not included 'cos I don't remember his votes. ) You just happen to creep me out, and I was trying to think if Aganwolf would've voted like you have, and I concluded that she could have.

Although, if it helps, your obvious dislike of people referring to your not very wolf-full voting record kind of speaks for your innocence.

Gotta run as soon as I finish eating! I'll be back.


edit: xed with Agan

Totally agreed, btw...

And the games I've won as a wolf were those in which I voted for all of my fellows who were lynched... I have acted to save a fellow from the gallows once, and that was when we were one day away from victory.

Yeah I know I've played badly but do you have to keep flaunting it at me? I would be better as a wolf.

Anyway I should go now.

++Nerwen

Because at least I have a case against her instead of a vague bad feeling. But I'm by no means convinced, not only because she has looked better of late but because some others have started to worry me too. I might be back later but I wouldn't count on it...

I didn't say I don't suspect you. I'm just not convinced you're a wolf– certainly not enough to find this post of Lommy's or this all that reassuring.

Now, let me present

NERWEN'S INFALLIBLE CAST-IRON ARGUMENTS FOR WHY EVERYONE IS A WOLF.

In no particular order:

Aganzir– I don't see what Aganwolf would have to gain by pursuing me to the extent she has, (unless she's trying to revive the old "witch-hunt" technique, but that would be foolhardy). Still, not only does she have a bad voting record, she has the gall to try and use that as evidence for her innocence. I mean, really.

Legate– Smooth to the point of being slippery (as always, mind you), puts up what might be subtle defences of all three known wolves, seems very opportunistic in his voting and suspicions.

Lommy– I don't really suspect her that much at all. However she's been the one pushing the idea that either Agan or I must be a wolf, and therefore that the innocence of one would prove the guilt of the other. Which I don't think follows at all, and could give the wolves a free lynch.

Brinn– voting record almost eerily good, (yes, I know, the pot addresses the kettle) possible subtle defence of Glirdan. Yeah, whatever, I already looked at her a couple of Days ago and she came up "inconclusive". Now, however, I'm starting to find her actually creepy, mainly because of this, toDay:

My bolding. This late in the game, with an unknown number of wolves still around, lynching me is worth it just to set her poor little mind at rest– even if I turn out innocent, it seems ("whatever her role"). Not good.
Also, picks up on the "one of them must be a wolf" meme.

Shasta– I'm not getting any bad vibes from him. However, if he's innocent his famous clairvoyant powers must be taking the week off. Meanwhile, the Night-kills have been awfully effective– almost like we're dealing with a psychic wolf...

wintywinty– Dead silence... more dead silence... even more dead silence... then turns up just before DL and votes "++theleadingcandidate. Yeah, I've suspected him all along. Or is it her?"

Finally, just for the heck of it–

Lottie– Well, it would be bloody hilarious if it turned out she was a wolf all the time and there was a secret rule gagging the remaining Shirriff. I'd laugh. Really, I would.

EDIT:X'd since Agan's vote-post.
