WW XCVI - The Fell Winter of 2911

[Nogrod]

Well, I see no reason to not vote as well.

That would be something I'd call an understatement...

But unlike Day2 when everyone just used their time discussing G55 and ended up lynching her, I think this Day has been much more productive in actually looking ahead in case Legate is a wolf (which to me is hard to believe he's not). But even like it is, we still have a lots of food for thought for toMorrow.

It really seems the absence of a wolf-wagon yesterDay is the key. So why didn't it happen, because the wolves were tactically inept, not bold enough to go for it, unable to do it (early voting), went for a more complicated way...

Well, the simplest explanation is that the remaining wolves are Legate (had to vote early) + Menel (lost in timezone limbo). At the time Legate voted, you, Nogrod, must have looked pretty lynchable.

However, we should consider other possibilities, certainly.

Legate + Kath

As I've said already, it could in fact be Legate + Kath, with both having to vote early, before any innocent, and Kath deciding following Legate's vote on Nog would be too much of a giveaway. Against this is– well, probably other things, too, but the one that occurs to me is the tone of Sally's vote-post, where she sounds like she thinks she has decent chance of surviving. Likely she was still expecting rescue at that time (13 minutes to DL). It is possible, though, that she was relying completely on her Ranger-hints to frighten off voters.

Menel + Kath
If Menel is a wolf, some of his statements toDay might fit his being Kath's packmate rather than Legate's, in which case the early-voter plus lost-in-time voter scenario would still apply. We must wonder though, why Kath did not follow Legate's vote, which, in this scenario, would then have been the desired innocent-on-innocent vote.

Shasta + ?
*shrugs* Well, my treasure might have decided that trying to rescue Sally at that point just wasn't worth the risk. While I am fairly satisfied now with his account of himself, it's true that some of his actions near the DL could be seen as stalling.

Nog + ?
Well, I suppose Nog versus Sally might really be one of those apparently insane wolf-on-wolf acts that can actually pay off in the end, just because after that nobody will ever believe the survivor can be furry.

Nerwen + ?
Sure. Like I'm going to make a case on myself.

Agan + ?
...All right, this is getting silly. ('Course if she turns up alive in the morning, that might be different.)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Okay, sorry for completely losing toDay, folks. On the good side, I am done with my exams for this term, so I can't really feel bad in any way now. The village still has a couple of Days before becoming totally doomed. In any case, it was nice to play, and I turned out to play a lot more, at least in the first two Days, than I had hoped to, so pretty good.

Since I am going to the gallows anyway, I think there is not much more for me to do. I can self-vote in order not to get modfired before I manage to get lynched or somesuch And just in order to make it an unambiguous vote.

Autographs only at the airport, please.

I wish y'all fun for the rest of the game... and I wish all luck to the side I am on. (So that I don't give away any spoilers.) I shall be following the game's progress with great interest.

[Nerwen]

Farewell, Legate. Whatever you are, thanks for being such a good sport about it all.

[Kitanna]

The morning began with cheers. The good ranger had bought them another day of survival. The celebrations were short-lived. Two fiends remained, it was their duty to preserve what was left of their village.

“Who voted Sally?” “Who defended Sally?” “Who ate all the cheese?” These questions bounced off the walls all day.

“It's Legate,” eventually became the rallying cry. The local bard was working with Sally.

Legate scratched his head. He knew better than to fight the tide. While his neighbors deliberated on just how to string him up he quietly slipped out the door. He had a chance of survival if he moved fast enough. Running as best he could against the snow, ice and wind Legate made his way to the Brandywine.

The white wolves were waiting on the far side. It dawned on Legate they hadn't been fed their nightly Hobbit yet. He did an about face and took off back toward the village. The wolves were much faster. The alpha male ran across the frozen river, jumped him and with the help of his mate they dragged Legate back. A small contract fell out of his pocket as he was taken away to be devoured.
