The reason the EW may not want the wolves to know her identity is because if the GW scries a werewolf, that wolf imediately changes sides and becomes an ordo. More importantly, an ordo who knows the identity of the EW and can share it with the village. Each wizard wants to protect their own identity sso that they can challenge the other wizard on their own terms, ie. when the conditions are in favor of their respective teams. So the EW is hesitant to the wolves any information.

Commenting as I read...

Morm~On to wolves, I don't think the EW would pick those who are more obvious, so to speak. I doubt the phantom would be picked at this stage but he could honestly be the EW, though I doubt that.

Or maybe the EW anticipates the village thinking like that and has chosen the most obvious to be wolves. A sneaky and competent EW could pull it off.

Morm~I take statements like this as fairly suspicous comments, all but the bolded one most of all. I don't know why they just don't sit well with me. It always makes me think they are trying to distance themselves with nightly activity.

This is in regards to one of Brinn's posts, a standard opening day post as far as I see. I'm just looking to better understand why you feel this way Morm.

Roa~I'm not saying that the EW isn't important. Obviously both wizards are fundamentally important to the game. (That's why it's Dueling Wizards.) However, I don't think finding her is as "key" as you think it is. Keeping the wolf population low should be our first priority.

But isn't the best way to do that giving the EW the ax early? Though I must say it is more likely we'd catch a wolf early on rather than the EW.

Lhuna~I'm siding with Roa that it is more important for us to find the wolves than the EW.

Cailin~ Let me add to the EW and Wolves discussion (my future son-in-law phantom already managed to evoke some strong reactions, which is always good) that we should attempt to do both find the wolves and guess at the EW’s identity

Aye. Concentrating too hard upon finding one or the other is only going to harm the village. It'll be easier to peg a wolf simply because there's multiple wolves and only one EW.

It's possible to even lynch a wolf today. It's even possible to figure out the EW, but in a village this size it'll be a miracle. The problem with Day 1 is we're pretty blind until Day 2. The problem with all days this time is that wolves can become ordos and a wolf one night could be scried and be good the next after gaining heavy suspicion.

Calin~Kitanna: Another good survivor, not too controversial and may be overlooked by the GW.

If only that was true.

Now I wonder about others on Cailin's suspected wolf and innocent list. Putting out a list such as that could give the EW ideas. "Well, these players are going to be suspected innocent for a while, I should get at least one of them on my side." Given the complex nature of this game, I'd not relay on lists like that. It's often better to read between the lines here. Or at least that is how I see it.
