And I would just love people asking why I voted that. If we drastically disagree, I still have the advantage and will use it, but it would be such a nice plot twist for all those who seem to think we're clawing each other eyes out here.
Perhaps. After all, you don't know any more than I do.

Just gonna analyze because there will be meaningful votes down the road in here.

That makes no sense at all. The wolves would certainly look less suspicious lynching the noisy, controversial one than the quiet one.

I don't think they were trying to "orchestrate an innocent lynch" - I think, based on the overall tone of the late voters, that it came down to two options, neither of whom was a wolf. No one felt like a wolf nervously trying to avoid lynching a packmate without overtly defending them, or anything like that.
So, you're saying your own attempts to save Brinn don't look wolfish, Lottie?

The Ka is giving me credit for being smarter than I am now ...

I didn't think you were the cobbler specifically, G55, I just thought your behavior looked too risky for a wolf! I was leaning "passionate innocent who thinks they've caught a wolf".

They are giving me both more and less credit too. Mac is certainly giving me more, with the "she's spotted a Seer and a Wolf and tried to change the lynch!". However, they would have found some interesting things among my posts had they looked at them closer. Of course, that would come at the cost of more direct wolf-hunting.

My true impression of these players:

Brinniel talks like she's on a sedative.
Boro talks like he's on a stimulant.


Not very helpful, is it?

I wonder whether they'll notice the post count here anytime soon.

I feel more strongly about some players than others. Once we have a better idea of potential lynchables, we should give this another thought.
