But I think it might be even more enlightening to see how others related to him - especially when there was something like a suspicion on him which then suddenly disappeared. So how did it actually fade? I remember myself suspecting him but soon realising basically no one suspected him anymore and then I decided to focus on others - but was it just his sweet-talking as Mr. Agreeable or were there anything outside of what he said himself that triggered the change?
Is this innocent or Nog saying "I suspected Pitchwolf! I must be innocent!"? I can't tell, but I don't think Nog is one of the two wolves left.

I do think Lommy is one. The others I find somewhat suspicious are Sally, Wilwa, and Eomer. Eomer could easily be moved down to "unsure", though. The only reason he's up there at all is because he's slipped right under my radar, and I suddenly realized that I keep giving him the 'sensible' pass. *sigh*

So I've been trying to analyize Pitch for the past half hour and the site won't let me go to his posts. Curiouser and curiouser... looks like I'll have to do it the hard way.

Ctrl-F, please be my friend. *sigh*

Well, I was merely illustrating the fact that we all (myself included) fell silent on him after some quite widespread suspicion earlier... well at least I thought there was some general concern with him. So I think the interersting thing is to plunge back there and see how it died out - and what was it in the first place.

I'll try to do that before Lommy and Greenie come from the party they're in.

Okay, that makes sense - and I do get your point. My suspicions were basically "He looks bad. Oh, look, a butterfly!"

Aww. Look at poor Pitchie, trying to refute my dream. Silly, silly Pitchie.

And you know, I wouldn't have dreamed you if you hadn't tried to hint that I should dream of Bes. Just pointing that out.

Pitchers(o' ice), you get to have all the fun by being a known wolf for the day. I've had that pleasure before, and I have to tell you we go much easier on the wolves who co-operate. So, give up you're other two buds and we'll give you a nice, quick, death.

On another note, my participation for the upcoming week is going to be considerably less and vary from day to day.

Congrats Lottie, nice choice, he would have been a tough wolf to get because of Mnemo's vote. I'm going to do what I did on Mnemo yesterday, only this time it'll be on Pitch.

I don't have much time at the moment(Dinner should be arriving soon, and I have cleaning to do.), but I didn't realize that the Ranger doesn't actually die when they protect someone who gets attacked in the night. I've still got a lot of basic learning to do, it seems.

I don't mean to criticise those who want to analyse Pitch, and I'm aware that I'm contradicting my comment about a boring Day, but aren't you counting your chicken before they're hatched? All your work could, in theory, be for nothing.

... Wait. So a seer chooses who to dream about? Like, even if they're a real seer? Now I'm just confused. Damning evidence we would have had anyway aside, how does this make a seer more useful than, well, anyone else?

Edit: I thought of how that could work reliably about a second after posting. You PM Legate and get your answer, yay or nay, that way I assume?

Yes, that's basically it. I pm a name to Mr. Mod and he pms me back with their role.

Pitchwife a wolf? Very good. Let's get the pitchforks and lynch him!

Greenie dead. Not surprising. Everybody thought she was innocent. Analysis due.

And now what in Arda was that yesterDay? I wish we could triple-lynch Pitch, Wilwa, and Shasta toDay and be done with it. Let's lynch Sally, too, to be on the safe side.

Well, maybe not. There had to be at least 5 or 6 six wolves in that voting yesterDay.

I predict a relatively boring Day. There will be some discussion about whether we can really trust Loslote, but the majority won't doubt her or conclude that Pitch's death is the best way to find out. There will be some analysis of the lynchee, the voting, and the kill, but since there's no urgency, there won't be any heated debate. Obviously there will be no heated voting either, and unless we find something groundbreaking, our prime suspects tomorrow will still be Wilwa and Sally. Let's try to make it interesting anyway.

Dearie, I love this post so much.

Oh, and (assuming you're telling the truth, of course) apologies for doubting you. After the last game where one of us was a gifted I'm surprised we didn't band together, but you looked really shifty. Apparently I have a role findier, not a wolf finder. Rubbish. Anyway, good call. And I'm really happy you were allowed to survive the Night, if just for the amusing wording of your posts.

++Pitch


Why wait? However, I'll get to some analyses tonight.


EDIT: I had to turn my computer off for a bit to talk to some friends so I've not caught up. Thus, x'd since the post I quoted.
