Werewolf XCVII: Werewolves in the Westfold Game Thread

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I will vote

++SHASTA

And I will also say, clearly risking accusations of 'buddying up', that Coppermirror's posts cannot be those of a first time player. I believe she may be a Downer of the past, returning under a new username.

And I said you barely mentioned them, not that you ignored them completely.

Did you write that especially for players to jump on it? I know that even when your eyes are blurring you would not make such a slip, if slip it is, and I understand exactly why an innocent could say that ("I know I'm innocent, I'm not sure about him"), but why to you have to tempt the radar to twitch?

Can you explain why he could not be defending a Pitchwolf? Do you mean he did not? Or that he would not theoretically do that? Or that the wolf he's defending is rather Nessa than Pitch? I just don't get the logic in this statement.

I don't think Pitch needed much defending at that point, since no one would follow Nessa's vote anyway.

I think he had reasonable grounds for his vote, given the circumstances, but it could have been a vote for a packmate which he wasn't expecting anyone to follow up on seriously. Galadriel55 makes a point in her analysis that Shasta's vote changes the dynamics of the Day's voting and that there was no real need for him to keep away from the Kitanna-wagon. I'm not quite so sure about this. To me it looks as if that would have been a safe vote for a wolf.

I said that about his Day 2 vote. There was also a Kitwagon that Day, so it must have confused you. Shasta was the first to clearly favour Kit as the true Seer, after 3 votes for Zil.

The last bit is completely true. May I just correct that Shasta's reasoning, while helpful, only made up about 1/5 of my decision?

Do you have anyone in particular in mind? I do concur that Cop is playing exceptionally well for her first game.



I don't know why deciding who to vote in the last couple Days was so easy for me, but now it's back to normal, ie I have no idea.

[Galadriel55]

I think I shall be voting for Eomer in another 15 minutes. I don't want to put a third name into the tally, and between Shasta and Eomer the latter is more suspicious at the moment.

Let's see if the world can turn over in only about 15 minutes.

Edit: xed with sally - yay, I'm not alone! - yes, about 30 minutes.

Mayhaps I could get a vote count? That would be superb.

Pitchwife voted Eomer.
Eomer voted Shasta.
Shasta voted Eomer.

[Galadriel55]

I see the world hasn't turned over yet.

++Eomerwarg




I said warg, but I hope wolf.


Edit: xed with Cop's vote.

[satansaloser2005]

I feel like a wolf!Shasta would be much more frustrated by his pack's circumstances so far.

Sorry. No time.

He couldn't have been defending a Pitchwolf because there were only three wolves in the game. Now we know two of them, I've been finding it useful for eliminating possible motivations. I'll look at your post more overNight, sorry for not going over it properly right now but it is coming up to voting time and I'm rushed.

Anyway...I would have liked to hear what Sally has to say about who she currently suspects before I place my vote, but I think I need to vote now, so I will.

++Eomer

I also suspect Shasta pretty strongly, mostly because of what might have been an attempt from Inzil to protect him, so I plan to vote for him next time if Eomer isn't a wolf.

Ah, so it's like he was protecting Nessa, therefore not Pitch. Gotcha.
