Better that it is burst. I hadn't thought of that scenario, but it's a very important consideration. The one I'd dreamt up is in my cross post above.

That might be it. I'm thinking the one wolf might know both of the others while the other two only know the identity of the lead wolf. But I'm sure there are other possibilties.

This occurred to me, but I don't think it's correct. The lead wolf could very easily just tell the other two who each other were (or it would be incredibly easy to let it slip by accident). There wouldn't be any way to enforce that rule. (Granted, there aren't any ways to enforce several rules, such as pm'ing between villagers, but still.) Whatever it is, I don't think that this is what makes one wolf more powerful than the others.

The stronger wolf can take down a kill on his own, while the weaker two have to work together. If the strong one is killed first, then the weaker two still have to work together, and if a "weaker one is killed, then the remaining weak one has to hunt with the stronger one because s/he can't do it alone. In actual gameplay, it doesn't matter which wolf is which.

That sounds like a plausible explanation. If that was the case, killing the lead wolf and one of the weaker ones would mean maybe the last wolf couldn't kill - now that's hopeful.

hahaha I nominate Rikea for the titel: Queen of Wishfull Thinking

I know that the villagers is supposed to be able to fight back, but for the wolves to be this handicaped is. . . . well not likely, in my view.

While all this chat about things we don't know at all and are fairly incidental in the over all success of this village is great fun I really think we would do better to get back on topic and lynch, lynch LYNCH!

While I don't disagree that we need to get back on topic, any reason for picking Rune? Or was that just random?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-29-2007, 08:11 PM

I doubt there is any theory behind it. . . .Mormegil's ancestors have always had a liking for killing my kin.

Well, I must be off- I've arrows to fletch. (see admin thread)

I have been keeping summarizing and analyzing every post except my own thus far, and I do have some leads, but I'm going to give them a few more hours, to either redeem themselves, or to further incriminate themselves, and I don't want to tip them off.

My suspicion list thus far:

Trusts: Me

Distrusts: Everyone else
