Just something I noticed during a quick reread:

So you "really really dislike" the fact that you gave her the last vote on two of these Days? Which do you dislike, the votes or the fact that she only was almost lynched? Please clarify.
And if Nessa's a wolf, she's not a survivalist, she has a deathwish. Three Nightkills pointing to her, and hardly an attempt to defend or save herself? Come on.

Pitch you're hilarious (but that's true).

All I've got to say is if Wolfy McWolfypants has no better suspects for cobbler at this point than me with my silly song, it's not for lack of trying by other would-be shoemakers.

Legate's completely illogical, passively worded suspicions against me are just about enough to earn him my vote.

Shastanalysis pt 1

DAY 1
Wishy-washy comments on Rikae & Pitch. He thinks Mac, Kit and I look good as we're logical and down to earth, and is bothered about having no read on sally. Later he says he still likes Mac but thinks he makes too big a deal about my cobbler post, saying he might think so because he's wolfed with me and knows how my mind works. He's probably right, but it would also have been in a wolf's interests to keep me alive then. He likes Legate for pointing out that Lottie is being weird (ie. she doesn't have suspicions which is entirely atypical of her). Shasta did it occur to you that Lottie might have been the seer who didn't want to leave any trails towards an innocent? He votes for Lottie, putting her in the lead (however there are still a lot of votes to come).

DAY 2
He starts with saying Legate seems off and he doesn't like his "Inzil is suspicious but I don't really suspect him," and wonders if wilwa is trying to deflect attention from the sallywagon, agreeing with Rikae who wonders about her. He suggests the sallywagon couldn't be purely innocent-driven because it started so late - this is a bad point. He suspects Boro's defense of Pitch is merely damage control. If Boro is the cobbler, would a Shastawolf have said so? Not unless Pitch is innocent, I think.
He quotes Lommy who pointed out Inzil's quickly drawing a connection between the kills and asks if it can be so simple, and questions Cailín of her Nessa suspicion. Doesn't believe skip's hunter claim, says he was just looking for an epic 1000th post. Brings up the possibility of Kitanna's role being redistributed. I don't think a wolf would suggest that even to look better or be sporty.

Okay I'm about midway through day 2 but I'd rather post this now. I'll continue tomorrow if we both are still alive.

I dislike the fact that she managed to "save herself" (well, not herself, but simply, escaped her fate) for three Days. And by "dislike" I mean like "that happens only in movies!" (And speaking of that, my voting for her was by elimination method from those who were already running for the lynch.)
And yes, she is a survivalist - we have made her so.
Anyway, for me she is not the issue right now anymore.

But I don't want to vote him.

I am not suspecting you, I am wondering what the Angband are you doing.
