With no one willing to vote Legate, apparently, my choices are down to Agan or Nerwen... and I honestly haven't seen that great of a defense from Agan.

[*highlight]++Aganzir[/highlight*]

If you get back in time, and if you have your retractable still, I'm aboslutely willing to vote Legate, and absolutely NOT willing to vote Agan.

Agan -> Nerwen
Legate -> Agan
Lommy -> Nerwen (2)
Shasta -> Agan (2)

[Loslote]

Tied at two apiece? This reminds me of yesterDay, and not in a good way.

That said...

++Legate

with potential retraction if needed, for posting a lot without actually saying much of anything, and for subtly defending the wolves who were going to be lynched with out committing, and for general non-commiting behavior.

[wintywinty]

People have wondered as to why I am so quiet and show up to only make a few posts and then vote. I am very busy, I participate in two after-school activities, plus school (I'm in a rigorous IB program, where I have homework everyday.) I have just enough time to get home, read all the posts that have happened in the past day, decide who makes the best arguments against who, and by that time there's less than 10 or 15 minutes left before I must vote. I'd like to continue playing the game, but I do not have the time to post much. Besides yesterday, I think I have contributed with a few posts everyday. Today, It seems to me as if Agan, Lommy, and Brinniel seem very innocent. I am not sure about Nerwen, and Shasta and Legate seem the most suspicious to me. By the way, I am innocent, so voting me would waste a lynching for the village.

[Brinniel]

I have less time than expected so I really will have to vote soon.

Ugh, what's so frustrating is that you guys happened to lynch two of the people I found most innocent of the bunch. If we had lynched Nerwen already, then I wouldn't still be stuck on her (and it's bad that I am because I should look at others too). Even if Agan was lynched yesterDay, I would've preferred that over Mira because at least her death would provide some more information, regardless of role.

If winty somehow gets lynched and turns out innocent, I will have to smack anyone responsible...hard. I would prefer just about anyone else over him because there are so many other players whose death would reveal more than winty's.

Legate is someone I'm growing increasingly worried about, but I need to look at him better before throwing any real suspicion at him. Agan and Lommy too, to a lesser extent. I don't think Lommy's the fourth wolf, but if the cursed has indeed been turned, then I think there's a chance she could be just that. Again, I don't have time to do any analysing, so I'd rather lynch Nerwen now, so I don't have to worry about the others unless she's actually innocent, or if she is a wolf but the cursed is still out there (unless she's the cursed, then vice versa).

That's perfectly understandable, as a lot of us are very busy around here. But perhaps you should mention that in the admin thread so people don't suspect you for not being around much.

P.S. This post from winty looks genuine to me.

I'm willing to vote either of them, and not just to save myself– see my last post.

However– why are you so sure Agan is innocent, Lottie?

EDIT:X'd with Brinn and wintywinty

She's acted genuinely frustrated and innocent, plus she hasn't acted suspiciously at all. She makes good points and contributes helpfully to the village. Even if I wasn't so sure I wouldn't want her dead. Agan, Brinn, and Shasta are the three people I trust most right now. The rest of you I'm not so sure about.

Agreed.

Really? May I refer you to her voting record? But actually I don't find that very suspicious in itself– I'm not so keen, though, on the way she keeps insisting it's actually proof of innocence. Thing is, Agan is pretty hard to read, for the opposite reason to Legate or Brinn– she's a very aggressive player who tends to go all out to lynch people, whatever her role.

I don't think that's suspicious. And she's not really insisting, just defending herself. People bring it up; they say it's susicious; she explains why it's not. I don't have a problem with this.

++Legate

Xed with Nerwen

[Aganzir]

Others on Legate (Lottie, winty & Lommy mostly excluded)
-Agan agrees with Lottie that Legate is strangely non-committing, says she isn't used to him like that (regardless of his role)
-Nerwen wonders if Legate's surprise about her skip ranger theory is a mark of furriness
-Agan says she's worried about Legate because he feels sloppier and dumber than usual
-Agan lists Legate as one of her voting candidates (although a rather unlikely)
-Nerwen says he's smooth, slippery and opportunistic
-Shasta says Legate's backing away from claiming Nerwen's theory is far fetched could be wolfish, says Nerwen, Legate & Agan have points against them but isn't sure which are bigger
-Agan says the way Legate ends his vote post ("And let's hope we do it right this time and celebrate after this.") is awfully forced-looking and creepy
-Shasta laments that nobody is willing to vote for Legate
-Nerwen is sure there's at least a wolf in the group Legate-Lommy-Agan-Brinn
-Lottie votes for Legate after suspecting him heavily
-Brinn is growing increasingly worried about Legate but will have to look at him better before throwing any real suspicion at him
-Nerwen is willing to vote for Legate (at this point he has one vote plus Shasta's possible retraction; she xed with winty who said Legate was one of his top suspects)
-Nerwen votes for Legate (Nerwen-2, Legate-2, Agan-1)
-winty votes for Legate
-Shasta retracts and votes for Legate (he xed so when he started typing his vote post, it was Nerwen-2, Legate-1, Agan-1)
-Brinn votes for Nerwen at deadline. If Shasta hadn't retracted, Nerwen would've been lynched.

Legate on others
-wonders if Nerwolf would've brought up the theory of how the wolves could've noticed skip was the ranger, concludes that in her case it's not impossible
-has a "double-feeling" about Agan, thinks some things she does look innocent but she could also be a wolf
-has found Brinn mostly innocent before, wonders if she might be slipping under his radar, "maybe it will be best to wait for her to post and follow her to get more information about her."
-thinks Nerwen's post 931 is ineffective/unhelpful, reminds him of a desperate wolf
-is growing worried about Agan, finds Nerwen unnerving, thinks Shasta looks innocent but might be slipping under the radar. Thinks the wolf is hiding among these three.
-Nerwen looks better because she doesn't want to lynch ww
-thinks he'll vote for Agan because Nerwen looks more innocent whereas Agan has been more careful lately and is finding new suspects. Votes Agan.

Some conclusions, then...

Oh and as a sidenote (yes I'm easily distracted), we have two days to find the wolf. Unless she decides to kill Lommy and somebody is resurrected.

From the least suspicious to the most suspicious (the known innocents & me excluded, so not a very long list):
Nerwen. Brought up points against him early on the day, Legate seemed to consider voting for her seriously.
Shasta. Was after him from early on.
Brinn. It's quite convenient how they both were growing worried of the other but didn't want to do anything more radical before seeing them post more.

Based on interaction with Legate, Brinn seems to be the most likely wolf... However she did go after the other wolves, I think.

[Thinlómien]

Things, or actually, Questions, since I can't quite make up my mind about these things...

The Day before yesterDay
- Legate's change of opinion on Nerwen after he was turned - suspicious or too obvious?
- Legate's post, opinions and speculation about everybody but Brinn - why not her? If she was his fellow, wouldn't he have felt he has to include her or otherwise it's suspicious? Although, later he says Brinn seems the most innocent of all - where did that then come from? But again we have to still ask: wouldn't a wolf be more careful about what he says about a fellow?
- Legate was reluctant to consider Agan a possible suspect because then he'd get paranoid and wouldn't get rid of it before she dies - echoes from innocent-Legate's thoughts or a crafty way of not suspecting a fellow?
- He would've liked to vote Shasta. Now I doubt he'd have invented a random suspicion of a fellow with this kind of half-hearted hoping his suspicion gets support.

YesterDay
- I'd find it incredibly funny if Nerwen was the last remaining wolf because then the two people to analyse the kill would have been the wolves.
- Legate came back to his innocent suspicion of Nerwen, but decided to suspect Agan more. Then he voted Agan, which makes me think it rather unlikely that they were in cahoots, because Agan was suspected a bit - too much for a vote for her to be safe and too little for it to be sensible to consider her a goner and try to make the best of it. Although, given the ruthless w-on-wing in this game nothing would come as a surprise...
- Brinn says: "Legate is someone I'm growing increasingly worried about, but I need to look at him better before throwing any real suspicion at him." That's quite a fishy statement in the situation where suspicion against Legate is growing. However, if Brinn is the final wolf, why did she be so nice to Legate after throwing all her three other fellows under the bus one by one, especially as she had pretty good odds to survive given the small amount of suspicion against her thus far?
- Nerwen's rather late vote of Legate admittedly looks good, but in the lines of the previous point about Brinn - if Nerwolf had thrown already all her three fellows under the bus, why would she hesistate to do that to the last, especially given that it would probably be her only chance of redemption in the eyes of the village?
- Shasta's late retraction from Agan to Legate makes him a very unlikely wolf.

Well well well. That's four rather unlikely wolves out of which one is a wolf. Quite well done, whoever it is. I think our last wolf is Nerwen or Brinniel, possibly Agan but probably not Shasta. Now I want to reread toDay's posting and see how people have acted toDay because admittedly I read it quite quickly...

I think it looks a bit different if you've played with her in the past, though– she could act exactly like this as a wolf.

However, I'll vote

++Legate


(for points raised earlier)

EDIT:X'd with winty. Cute.

Maybe, and I could be wrong - I just don't think I am.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I made it back!

--Aganzir
++Legate

Edit: X'ed with Nerwen, winty, and Lottie. Well now, there's a waste of a retraction.

[Brinniel]

++Nerwen

[wilwarin538]

Agan -> Nerwen
Legate -> Agan
Lommy -> Nerwen (2)
Lottie -> Legate
Nerwen -> Legate (2)
Winty -> Legate (3)
Shasta -> Legate (4)
Brinn -> Nerwen (3)

That makes it Legate.

Legate was the Cursed-Wolf.

It is now night time. Narration will be up tomorrow.
