Why, please tell me, do I have the idea now that I'll never live past DAY 1 again?

I don't understand why we didn't follow that from the beginning. It's a great idea. If she's a wolf, good, if she's innocent, she'd only confuse us in future.

I believe that it has been suggested before that Feanor be lynched on DAY 1 simply by default.

Yes, it had been pointed out that her confusion strategy was dangerous (if she were innocent.. worked pretty well for a woluf...)

As you can see by the Letters, I had seriously considered changing tactics all together and being really quiet.

The idea was that everyone would assume that no wolf would be stupid enough to do something so obvious. But y'all underestimate the power of insanity and stupidity... they nearly always work out. Like Mith admonishing me for pointing out, first post, that I shouldn't have been there. Figured I ought to bring it into the open before someone else did.

And telling you to lynch me while you still had the chance... you really should have.

It was more of a case of how much reverse psych one game could take... and why Lhuna could not be so easily excluded having been allowed in... TGWBS was a help there of course pointing out the benefits of odd numbers
