Werewolf CX: Insert Title Here - the game thread

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

So Sally, fancy voting Rikae to make a 3-way?

Ah, probably not. You'll want to survive, I guess.

Well, I'm sticking to my conviction.

++RIKAE

[Shastanis Althreduin]

In regards to Rikae and Eomer, I hesitate to think that one or the other must be a wolf, but I agree that the possibility is there - and for the sake of opinion, I do think Eomer to be more likely. Some of that is that I think Rikae's reaction feels genuine; some is also that I think I'm sensing more alarm from Eomer than is really necessary.

Honestly, though, I feel like I have to mention the innocent v. innocent possibility here, though. That's kind of the vibe I'm feeling currently, and I'd like to go back and read more before I vote either one.

It worked out really poorly for me last time I tried to tie a vote, but....

It seems to me the lynching could end up either way
And though my odds are tiny, I'd still like to play
So now my choice seems simple - I'll vote and hold my breath
I hope this doesn't end in death
(Unless it's yours, I must confess)

In short:
++Rikae
I hope this works!

So, Sally, is that vote for daring to question Eomer? Or is it for saying your hanging around and not voting was not cool?

Tally

A Little Green —> Legate
Rikae —> Eomer
Lommy —> Sally
Kath —> Sally (2)
Legate —> Eomer (2)
Eomer —> Rikae
Sally —> Rikae (2)


Interesting.

So– at the time of posting we have a three-way tie between Eomer, Rikae and Sally, with Legate as a fourth option and only me and my king left to vote.

Hmmn. From the interactions toDay, I think it’s likely there is indeed a wolf or two in that thicket– but which?

Now, in theory, we should be able to infer from the voting pattern that Eomer and Sally are either both innocent or both packmates, since they each voted Rikae in a situation where they “should” have voted each other for self-preservation (note also that they had previously mentioned each other as suspicious, so it’s not as if it wasn’t an easy option). I’m not so sure about that in practice, however– if everyone behaved “logically” the game would be a lot more predictable.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

That's a good point. I hesitate to ever think I can read Sally, but why didn't Eomer vote for her? Self-preservation would have been a perfectly logical reason for voting, in my opinion. But he voted Rikae instead. Curious.

Indeed. As I said, though, it may just be that they’re both innocents who found Rikae overwhelmingly suspicious, so that the need to vote her outweighed both personal risk and their suspicion of one another. Which is fair enough. It’s when you add in the timing of their expressed suspicions that it does start to look a bit questionable.
