Could be. Or they could have used their double kill the night before (one for her and the other for Elfie) and thus already known that I was bluffing about being able to protect her last night.

Wouldn't we have been told that, though? If not, then that's a possibility...

I'm not sure. That info would be a huge strategic point, so it might be something withheld...

True. It'd be nice to know, but ShastaMod will have his secrets, won't he?

Am I missing some posts two votes for Tum already... I haven't been nearly as active as I normally am in this game... but I think our list of suspects is too long for votes that quick...

I'll be on tonight with more time...

Oh, well. Nerwen was able to get us three of the wolves, anyway. At least you're a known innocent (since there's been no counter-reveal), and that's a great help.

The wolves would have had incentive to go after Nerwen regardless of where they were on her suspicion list.

Did you miss something rather important? Nerwen told us yesterDay tum was a wolf. Could you be the final wolf?

++tum

Hmm. I naturally find it suspicious that Morsul rushed to question the votes on tum. Then again, as a wolf he couldn't realistically not have known about tum's predicament. If Morsul is a wolf, I have to wonder if that level of playing dumb would have occurred to him as a wise move. And as Nerwen said, if Morsul's a wolf he's been on the receiving end of some heavy-handed wolf-on-wolf.
That said, I don't want to get too focused on Morsul.

Something else caught by eye, an interesting exchange between Borowolf and Mira of Dol Guldur.

Funny how both of you do what I asked, but take two different attitudes towards me. Mira seizes the opportunity to do a "by the way" I love you. I'm obligated to ask, because this always seems to happen...trying to get me comfortable with you so my guard's down and it's easier to kill me? You know if I die next night and I find out you're behind it, I won't talk to you for a week, right? Glad we understand eachother now.

Going to the gym then I'll legitimately be around for the rest of the Day. ...I think.

If we are going with the cobbler = .5 wolf conversion...if you're the cobbler I won't talk to you for 3.5 days. Does this change anything?)
(bolding added by me)

Now why was it 'ridiculously unlikely', in Mira's words, that Boro would be Night-killed?
