Oh, and I just want this noted, before I say anything else: my connection was playing up like crazy the last few hours, and stopped me from saying all I'd have liked. Or I would have commented more on the folly, in this game, of lynching someone to remove a source of distraction/controversy– cf. my treasure's "we pretty much have to know what she is". I cannot say it's necessarily a sign of guilt, though, since G55 herself made the same argument. Still, I can't say I like it.
Now, what to make of Nogrod's reaction at the start of toDay? He must have honestly not registered Glirdan's role– a quite understandable mistake, given that a.) it wasn't mentioned in the narration, b.) there'd been no reason to suspect him and c.) punitive modfires of special roles are almost unheard-of. From then on, I'm not sure. A wolf might have thought he saw the chance for a quick victory, provided he, his buddies and the cobbler could get it together, but been unwilling to come right out in case something went amiss. Or an innocent might well have just panicked.

Other headache-inducers:
Agan at #198 makes an excellent analysis of The Sinister Sally, bringisg out some points I don't think anyone else had. Then she winds up with a quite invalid suspicion, based on out-of-context quoting. Kath at #196 (I'm working backwards here) has some interesting theories about why Lommy might have been killed, and some good comments on living players– but again, this includes a completely out-of-context reference of Agan's "accusation" of me, which was actually clearly a joke. (Drawing a longbow, I suppose it might have been preparation for a false reveal– but if that's why Kath mentions, she doesn't say so.

I don't really know what to make of Nog's attitude at the start of the day, what with missing Glirdan's role and all. Given how doom and gloom he was, he looks like an innocent who's just given up - but then there's the whole "what if he was just doing that on purpose to make me think that?" argument. I don't think I really want to draw any conclusions from that, specifically.

Well, well, it seems to be The Nerwen Show, Starring Nerwen at present, doesn't it?
Look, I'll tell you what's making me somewhat uneasy abut Nog right now– it's not, of course, that he made a mistake, nor is it that that he opened the Day by rushing in to ask about the tiebreaker rule. It's that he feels the need to offer, twice, a fairly elaborate explanation of *why* he did so: #175. (In response to Sally at #173.) Quote:

There were a lot of people who went after G55 yesterday, Nerwen. Why should I zero in on my fellow wolf when there are plenty of innocents in the same bandwagon to suspect?

Because he's come under more suspicion than most, of course. He knows it, too– hence, I think, the jittery over-explaining of his opening post that he's been doing.

Actually, there's no reason anyone should be written off at this stage. For instance, Kath looks innocent for meta-reasons (not knowing who had been lynched on Day One)– but a Kathwolf could have been too busy either to check the narration, or talk to her packmates on Night Two.

Anyway, so far (I think) only Legate and Kath have voted. I hope either Nog or one of them is a wolf... But then, the wolves can't afford to make any too risky moves yet because the situation will soon turn against them if the ranger makes a save. Quote:

Suits me.
We need to be careful in general though, as the more we spread the vote the more influental the wolf-votes become. And I know this isn't exactly making my own position easier, but one has to consider that - while hoping that at least one of thos who already voted was a wolf, preferable both - even if that sounds a bit silly as certainly the wolves wouldn't like to spread their votes when this near victory. EDIT: X'd with Agan

Leg -> Nog Kath -> Agan Agan -> Sally So three votes and three vote-receivers. Yes the ranger may give us one more Day if we get it wrong toDay, but that's a chance of 1/6 (as the ranger may also protect a wolf) - and to that must be added the possibility that the ranger is lynched, which actually isn't 1/8 but nearer 1/4 because the wolves can more or less sway the vote away from themselves, especially now as we have already three different candidates who have been voted. That said, I must admit to some pessimism at the point.

I'm not necessarily opposed to lynching Sally, but Legate I haven't really given a fair read to - I notice he and Nog have been going at it for most of the day (what there's been of it) and I still can't quite shake the feeling that Nog is up to something.

An interesting note - since Legate's vote for Nog, everyone has posted. Since Kath's vote for Agan, everyone but Sally and Legate has posted.
Now, think for a moment. All it takes today is one innocent voting another innocent, and the wolves can all three jump on that vote and win (due to the rule about tie votes.) However, neither Legate's nor Kath's votes have been jumped on. Why might that be? One possibility, obviously, is that the votes were made by wolves (both examples in this case are singular - I'm not saying both Kath and Legate are wolves together.) In fact, if we look at it that way, it looks doubly bad for Legate - both in that his vote for Nog was not jumped on and that he hasn't himself been around to jump on Kath's for Agan. But then, would a wolf want to vote so early in a situation like this? In Kath's case, she didn't vote with Legate, voting Agan instead. I'm having a hard time drawing conclusions from this, though - mostly because I don't really have much to go on with her one way or the other.

The happier reason would be that at least one wolf has already been forced to vote by RL reasons and thus they haven't that much of a leeway at the moment.

You know, I'm quite curious to find out whether any of this "Oh noes! The wolves just have to do x and y and z" talk is actually coming from the wolves.

Well, clearly, you, myself, and Nogwolf should probably decide whether to vote Agan or Sally and finish up this charade.

In any case, all innocent votes on other innocents are things they look for, and which help them play it out toDay. Also, in case we would be getting it right, they would do what needs to be done to divert the vote from one of them to one of us as they are so near victory.
That actually brings forth an interesting idea. If there is (and hopefully there is) at least one wolf among those already voted they would object to lynching her and tried to support someone else. So let's dare them and see what happens? So how about we lynch Sally? Do you see merit in lynching Agan or me instead? Haha... you mindreader you... Quote:

Well, I'm not sure I want to add another candidate at this late stage, so it's probably between Sally, Nog, and Agan for me.
I'm fairly trusting of Agan at this point, so I doubt it'll be her. There have been points made against both Sally and Nog - but since my most recent post, I probably feel worst about Legate, and all the back-and-forth he's been doing with Nog takes on new meaning in that light. I don't know if I'll laugh or cry if it turns out Legate and Nog are both wolves after all they've been saying to each other, but it's likely to be one of the two.

*waves to dead players reading the thread*
Well, Pitch, Zil, G55, Lommy, Glirdan– I'm sure you've by now worked out that I, Shasta and Nog can't possibly be packmates. This may be of some practical use to Sally or Menel (unless they're both evil, of course.) EDIT:X'd since my last post.

I would be happy to vote Legate as well, but one more candidate at this point would probably be a mistake that could help the wolves to steer the lynch in case they needed to and at least it might help them hide better when they weren't possibly forced to vote similarly together.
So I think we're stuck with the three: Sally, Agan and myself.

The trouble is Sally hasn't said anything today, other than that she won't be here, which gives me nothing to go off of.
I realize RL gets in the way at the most inopportune times, but it does get a little frustrating when it happens to so many people at once.

Note: I have no problem killing Agan either, but Nog's lynch will reveal moe, in my opinion, and Agan's clearly not the cobbler (also note Nog's nutty cobbler plan which...needed to be mentioned why, given that the cobbler's dead?), so....yeah. I'm sorry I can't say more now, but I have actually fallen asleep twice trying to do this post. Voted now. Sleeping now. Would be nice not to die now. That would be bad. Sleeping now.

Well Shasta, you have just made wawer a bit... as I just remembered that one of the things that made me suspect Sally the most was on D2 when she appeared to say she wishes to see G55 to simmer but not be lynched when she had just made her "wolf-slip" and when people acknowledged it she turned on her heels pretty fast.
Now wolves often are opportunists as well, but some of the weight of that suspicion clearly lightens when G55 turned out ordo... EDIT: X'd with Sally's... vote.

And there's Sally with a vote for Nog, just as Nog he may be reconsidering Sally. Curiouser and curiouser. I may need to re-evaluate my trust of Agan, as well - I just thought of something.

You know how Boro and the phantom will sometimes do these elaborate on-thread shenanigans? Well, I've thought that's what Agan was doing virtually all game, but now I'm thinking I might have been mistaken. I've been basing my trust of her basically off this, but I suddenly have a rather bad feeling that that's the only reason I haven't looked at her very hard. Which is dangerous.

Btw. it would be a rare coincidence that all the three playing actively around the most important DL thus far, maybe the game-decider, would be innocents...
Also, if Menel just pops in to vote, I'll say he's most probably a wolf. Bah... where do I fit Sally and Legate both then?
