First of all, lmp, my heart is bursting with love for your chart! It has columns. It has symbols. I can almost smell the musty book it came out of...oh wait, no, I'm having one of those back-in-witch-graduate-school-instead-of-casting-spells-for-peanuts daydreams again. Got to shake that off.

I maintain that the wolves likely knew very early that Lhuna was the Beloved Wolf. If she couldn't hide in a village of 18, do you really think she could hide in a cohort of 4 schemers? So, like Lalaith said, I think we need to look very carefully at all of the Lhuna voters, who may have opportunistically taken the chance to rid themselves of this nuisance.

I also maintain, despite what seems like everyone else's opinions to the contrary, that at yesterday's stage of the game, the wolves would have preferred to keep the Lovers alive. Why? The Lovers were no danger to the wolves as yet. They would lose the game by killing off the wolves too early; they, like the wolves, would have had to concentrate on lowering the number of innocents in the village before slaughtering the wolves.

But events transpired to make it expedient for the wolves to get rid of the Lovers early: not only the village's collective suspicion of Lhuna, but Farael's increasingly abrasive and unlikely (for an ordinary villager) attacks on Kath. In fact he gave his identity away when he made the comment about tgwbs not being the Seer: he could confidently say that no Seer who had dreamed of him would accuse him, knowing that the Seer sees the Lover as an ordinary villager.

All this to reiterate the point that if we're going to look at voting record, the Lhuna voters are the ones who should get the attention. God, I'm long-winded.
