Tol-in-Gaurhoth CIII: Big Magic in Middle Earth Arcane Encampment (Game Thread)

Well either way, Eonwe was innocent so Shasta is a wolf.

However, MODDESS - will the narration make clear whether there was a Saruman ... erm ... thing last Night? As in, are we actually in a position where we lynch Shasta and we've won, or not?

[Loslote]

Well done, Cop!

Lottie and Steve, I owe you an apology.

It doesn’t actually say whether Saruman’s power becomes active in the case of the other wolf being taken down by the Hunter, but I think it’s implied:

This person will join him at the beginning of the following phase of game play (e.g. if he selects a person during the Night, they will join him the next Dawn, whereas if he chooses them during the Day, they will join him at Dusk).

However, I also think Greenie was much more likely to have been Saruman.

Spoilers: Even the sorcerers don't know which of them is/was Saruman.

Are you serious? Then what about telling us if Greenie was Saruman or not?

Anyway:

++Shasta

Not sure if I'll be around still toDay, since there seem to be no pressing matters to be resolved and I'm going to hang around at my mum's for most of the day. I might pop in again closer to the deadline to see what's happening.

And honestly if the game doesn't end toDay then I will say the rules basically make it impossible for the village to win because I don't think we could have played much better (or had much better luck) - c'mon, the ranger made a save, the seer dreamt of a wolf and the hunter killed a wolf.

I think that's really all that needs to be said.

I'd be happy to. Greenie was not Saruman.

(Not that answering that question really answers your question, but I think you'll find I actually already answered your question in a way....and this circular sentence structure means I definitely need to find some breakfast.)

[McCaber]

Even assuming the worst and that we're dealing with an additional sleeper wolf, Lottie should have seen one innocent from toNight who didn't get turned on us. Which is a starting point at least.

Well, of course there’s no way Sally is going to pass up such an opportunity to mess with our heads– but all the same, it sounds as if we must indeed have an extra wolf.
