Not so. I suspect you,(Legate) and Shasta.

I've already explained, in post #427, why Nerwen and I can't both be wolves, in answer to Shasta's suggestion of that possibility.

NOW goodnight. Seriously.

Well, if you look up I wrote about it as well - but I also said that technically, you may have voted for Nerwen back then so that you are not suspected in the future. Which is just what you are saying to us now. There is the thing you voted Sally yesterDay, and not Nerwen anymore. If you suspected her, why not vote her also the Day after? Instead, you joined the village "bandwagon" - and it may be that you avoided endangering a fellow Wolf then. Of course, it's only a theory. But remember that if we get a wolf toDay, there will be also one more toMorrow. We cannot rule out any possibility.

But the question at hand is toDay's lynch. I don't really think Shasta and McCaber are wolves together. At least one of Nerwen and Gwath is likely a wolf. If Nerwen is innocent, then Gwath as a Nerwen-voter most probably is one. Well, that's probably the best I can come up with. I think Gwath is the most probable... But we cannot afford mistakes; what do you others think?

Legate– I understand your position on Gwathagor– but if you are innocent, please rethink on Shasta and McCaber. They seem, if anything, more wolfish to me than he does. I don't see how you can say they’re eliminated.

Gwathagor, similarly– please remember that while Legate is clever enough to be a very dangerous wolf, there's little or no concrete evidence against him. He’s certainly not a “safe” vote, as you seem to think.

Edit: word left out.

Well, that's nice, but what am I supposed to do? Once again you sound almost genuine here, but on the other hand, if you two are wolves and I vote for someone else, then it's over.

Voting Shasta or McCaber, from my point of view, is really shooting in the dark. I said what I think about them. I said what I think about Gwath.

Look - I have to leave in a few minutes. If it goes well, I will have chance to appear around here in about two hours from now, which is still long enough before DL. I hope to think meanwhile and sort my thoughts out for final. Because then, I will be here only at the DL itself, or very short before it.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hm, not much time anyway. I am here only to pop in (and I must say it's fun posting from the school library, I am not used to it), and say I will be here only very shortly before DL. I would like to vote now but as no one is around, and I'd prefer to consult it first... let's hope I make it in good time still. I voiced my opinions before, and nothing changed them. Well, see you then.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I think this is probably the latest I've voted, and still I vote first. I have to, though, I have class soon.

And let slip the dogs of war.

An explanation for this irrational behavior would be that Legate is trying to protect Shasta.

Perhaps. But like I said, whether we vote for Shasta or Legate makes no difference to me. If we get one today, and we find out that we were right, then we can get the other one tomorrow.

I realize that I am pushing the Legate/Shasta thing very hard.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Okay, I am here.

Well, I would like to hope that we are right this time. In any case, everything will be clear in the evening, unless all the remaning people vote for Gwathagor. I still think Nerwen is the other one. Now that Shasta voted, unless McCaber is... or unless Gwath is innocent, which I don't want to even think about.

All right. There is no other choice now anyway.
