Because wolf-on-wolf only works when voting for one's fellow wolf will create a favorable outcome. The wolves have already lost someone, and Legate is already under suspicion. It's one thing to vote for a fellow wolf when they're behind someone else by three votes and there are three wolves remaining. It's another situation entirely when there are only two wolves left and the village is quite likely to lynch one of your number.

Okay, a wolf would certainly throw its packmate under the train if there were enough votes that said beast would have died anyway, but Legate only had two votes by the time I'd posted. That's really early to abandon Legate to the noose.

And who else did you suppose was likely to be lynched toDay?

Besides– jumping on the bandwaggon when one's packmate has already received so many votes that he is *certain* to die... barely counts as a tactic at all, since it won't make you look the least bit more innocent. Again, do you really not know this?

[Meneltarmacil]

My apologies. I honestly cannot remember a wolf ever doing this.

Although I have been away from the site for three years, and there is probably a lot I have missed.

I suppose, then, that I will have to keep Kath as a possible wolf even if Legate is innocent.

Do you really mean you didn't know that voting a packmate already on the way to the gallows is part of the ABC of Wolf Tactics? And if you didn't, then on what grounds is it that you suspect me or Shasta?

EDIT:X'd with Menel.
