WW XCVI - The Fell Winter of 2911

[Aganzir]

Okay I'm going now. Goodbye, and good luck.

[Nerwen]

Perhaps. Although, the way you put it, that would eliminate you and make Shasta the wolf.

The point I am making, Menel, is that even if there was wolf-on-wolf voting at the DL, it could not have been "safe" voting. Unless you think a Shastawolf was *sure* Nog wouldn't vote for Sally after all, or that I would vote for Nog... or... something...

Umm... OK, I admit I had already written you off for voting that close to the deadline and had to think of the most likely possibility out of the alternatives I mentioned previously.

My brain has officially turned to mud now. I think I'm going to go to sleep before I start babbling insanities on this threaOOH LOOK BUNNIES*crash*

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Menel is mind-bogglingly confusing and it's gone nearly four in the morning. I'll re-read when I wake up.

Edit: X'ed with the mindboggler himself.

It does, however he follows it with

Which looks bad enough in its own right, I think– but doesn't have quite the significance of that sentence taken by itself.

Still not liking Menel one bit, though...

EDIT:X'd with Menel and he who is more radiant than the sun

Anyway–

Hopefully, he will sprout fur.

...If he doesn't after all, though, we're going to have re-think matters– I would be seriously considering my Menel + Kath theory, for a start (even if it did come out of a panic). Just a thought.

[Nogrod]

Well, I see no reason to not vote as well.

That would be something I'd call an understatement...

But unlike Day2 when everyone just used their time discussing G55 and ended up lynching her, I think this Day has been much more productive in actually looking ahead in case Legate is a wolf (which to me is hard to believe he's not). But even like it is, we still have a lots of food for thought for toMorrow.

It really seems the absence of a wolf-wagon yesterDay is the key. So why didn't it happen, because the wolves were tactically inept, not bold enough to go for it, unable to do it (early voting), went for a more complicated way...

Well, the simplest explanation is that the remaining wolves are Legate (had to vote early) + Menel (lost in timezone limbo). At the time Legate voted, you, Nogrod, must have looked pretty lynchable.

However, we should consider other possibilities, certainly.

Legate + Kath

As I've said already, it could in fact be Legate + Kath, with both having to vote early, before any innocent, and Kath deciding following Legate's vote on Nog would be too much of a giveaway. Against this is– well, probably other things, too, but the one that occurs to me is the tone of Sally's vote-post, where she sounds like she thinks she has decent chance of surviving. Likely she was still expecting rescue at that time (13 minutes to DL). It is possible, though, that she was relying completely on her Ranger-hints to frighten off voters.

Menel + Kath
If Menel is a wolf, some of his statements toDay might fit his being Kath's packmate rather than Legate's, in which case the early-voter plus lost-in-time voter scenario would still apply. We must wonder though, why Kath did not follow Legate's vote, which, in this scenario, would then have been the desired innocent-on-innocent vote.

Shasta + ?
*shrugs* Well, my treasure might have decided that trying to rescue Sally at that point just wasn't worth the risk. While I am fairly satisfied now with his account of himself, it's true that some of his actions near the DL could be seen as stalling.

Nog + ?
Well, I suppose Nog versus Sally might really be one of those apparently insane wolf-on-wolf acts that can actually pay off in the end, just because after that nobody will ever believe the survivor can be furry.

Nerwen + ?
Sure. Like I'm going to make a case on myself.

Agan + ?
...All right, this is getting silly. ('Course if she turns up alive in the morning, that might be different.)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Okay, sorry for completely losing toDay, folks. On the good side, I am done with my exams for this term, so I can't really feel bad in any way now. The village still has a couple of Days before becoming totally doomed. In any case, it was nice to play, and I turned out to play a lot more, at least in the first two Days, than I had hoped to, so pretty good.

Since I am going to the gallows anyway, I think there is not much more for me to do. I can self-vote in order not to get modfired before I manage to get lynched or somesuch And just in order to make it an unambiguous vote.

++Legate of Amon Lanc

Autographs only at the airport, please.

I wish y'all fun for the rest of the game... and I wish all luck to the side I am on. (So that I don't give away any spoilers.) I shall be following the game's progress with great interest.

[Nerwen]

Farewell, Legate. Whatever you are, thanks for being such a good sport about it all.
