Unfortunately, that might make the real mods visit our happy thread in their wrath. I would prefer that not happen.

Oh no.

And in that case, on topic: does anyone else (except a known wolf) have an opinion on pack composition? It is our best bet at finding the sixth wolf/learning whether the sixth wolf is dead.

I'm not sure I understand you.

Are you saying what I've been posting is merely spam?

I find that extremely offensive.

Well, can we assume Lottie's pack took her advice and killed Firefoot. As opposed to killing Nerwen or Sally?

If so, we just look at the player list and see who might do such a thing. Who would follow orders? Who wouldn't gun for the likely known Gifteds? Might being busy make them more likely to do such things?

Morm & Form are the knowns. Perhaps McCaber, Mith, or Kath is a Wolf. But it's easier to just look at the two we know. What do you think?

But then of course if it was Lottie's pack that killed Firefoot, that would mean Lalaith was in her pack since she obviously didn't kill herself.

Unless Lalaith's pack tried to kill Nerwen and was blocked by Shasta. Yeah, actually, that seems pretty likely.

I'll just hypothesize packs and kills and the rest of you can tell me why I'm wrong. Or tell me what additional Wolf would make sense with Lottie. And so on...

Lottie & Form & ???------- Rune--- Legate--- Firefoot----------- Nerwen
Mac & Morm & Lalaith---- TP------ Rikae---- Nerwen (block)--- Nerwen

You're wrong.

EDIT: And I'll tell you why in seventy-five posts.

Silmaril

Wasn't Lalaith targetted by Boro, or am I remembering this correctly?

Hypothetical scenarios:

NIGHT 4:
Ranger protects Nerwen.
Grip attack Firefoot.
Fang attack Nerwen, fail.
Boro targets Lalaith, succeeds.
or
Only one Wolfgang (TM Nogrod) is left and Boro's responsible for the second kill.
NIGHT 5:
Ranger protects Sally.
One group attacks Nerwen.
Other group attacks Sally, fails.
Boro targets someone, fails.
or
Only one Wolfgang is left, and they successfully kill Nerwen.
Anyway, I hit a light patch at work and am planning catch up to my Chinese cartoon backlog, so unless you want a running commentary, I'll be mostly quiet 'till empowerment time.

Pipe My previous crossed with phantom's #975.

Right, I forgot that they could've double-targetted Nerwen. In any case, Sally might be in big trouble and there's no grand return for me.

Just looking at Mac, morm, and Form the voting record is a little confusing. There's definitely some wolf on wolf action going on, despite the arguments early on in the game that this strategy wouldn't make sense in this game.

Yep. With two nights of killing, your return was always very much in doubt considering they already have plans to kill Sally. The best chance a Lover has of returning is to get Night-killed (thus only has to survive one cycle). Your only hope is that Shasta didn't protect Sally and does tomorrow Night.

I'm guessing Form/Mac and morm/Lottie. Not sure about Lal. Form and morm do a fair amount of wishy-washy accusations against each other though so they could be teammates trying to derail suspicion. I would probably guess with Mac in that case and put Lal with Lottie in that case. As phantom put it, she seems like the order taking type.

Unfortunately, neither of those scenarios lend themselves to easily and simply pointing the village to the last wolf in a pack.

Maybe you should check Rikae, Nerwen. We already have evidence that mums can be evil, too...

Lottie has very effectively stopped us from discussing (or at least, thinking about) much of anything toDay.

Do you think she could be a wolf?

It seems like the best case scenario to me is that the village votes to lynch either form or morm and we empower a vote for the other. Might require too many variables to line up right and too much coordination at the deadline though.

Yeah. I believe Form is a safer choice because he's been under more suspicion. so if there will be enough non-wolves around at the deadline, those who have to vote early might be able to risk voting somebody who's likely to vote him.

Kath, perhaps - that would probably get the message across given her voting history?

Hmm. How about we quickly make it to 1,050 now to get it over with?

I was going to have more time to play today but my extroversion got the better of me and I'm going for afternoon tea with a couple of coworkers before seeing friends in the evening. Bad me. But I'll be around as much as I can.
