Tol-In-Gauroth XXIV: Battle of the Band[Wagon]

[THE Ka]

Was there something in Di that stood up for them as an alarm sign or were they just plain unsure about whom the ranger would pick and made a (lucky) trial of someone else?

Going back and reading up on what has happened since I've been gone, this is a good point.

The problem surely is, that the lists based on these three cases would be very different indeed.

Yes they would, but at least you’ve managed to break it down into possibilities, which will help figure out the reasoning (or lack thereof) for the wolves going after Diamond. It doesn’t seem like this is going to be in any ways an easy thing to figure out, and it seems like everyone is a bit lacking in free time, like myself.

If I’ve read up correctly, there is probably only one other person (besides Folwren, possibly) that diamond has dreamt about (or got to so far, until she was killed, and her dreaming stopped), that no one seems to know who they are yet.

I don’t think it was a person in question that she dreamt about, but possibly someone she was going to dream about, that might have had the wolves rid of her. Though, it doesn’t seem likely they could have known, unless they were keeping an eye on the pattern of votes, or activities of members, and took a really guess and with diamond’s posting attitude, and made for a kill.

Also, Folwren’s battle with being thought of as a wolf could have been another lucky diversion for wolves to hide in a bandwagon of votes, and possibly try to sway voting opinion away from more suspicious activities.
It just seemed a bit fishy how long that lasted, though, it was the second day, and we still didn’t have much to go on.

I don't know what Glirdy had in mind when picking Folwren... I just can't get it.

Yeah, I don’t understand that either… Either something random of Glirdan, or something that turned out very helpful, though sad. After this we really learned that Folwren was innocent, which cleared away any left over bandwagoning suspicions.

It seems like maybe our wolves are not playing entirely by expectations, but are being a bit more active instead of hiding, or making stealthy plans. I don’t know how to entirely explain it, but it this game just seems different from past ones I’ve played (however few), and I keep getting this nudge that the wolves are being more than what they are expected as, and doing some very crafty blending, and sly talking. Maybe being obvious or quite un-wolfish is a new tactic. It just seems plausible in this game right now.

I still have some catching up to do from being away yesterday, so, I’ll try to be back.
