On Day 1, regarding Nessa's vote for a then-absent Pitch -

Of course it's also possible she just hoped to lynch a possibly gifted Pitch in his absence, which would also not surprise me; I didn't go after Eomer for fear of doing exactly that, so I could see a wolf capitalizing on the lack of Pitch and disregarding anything else in hopes of having one less gifted come the Morrow.

Regarding the KitSeer incident -

And then today -

Have I been tricked by Mr. Wolfgreeable all this time?

And then there's her post #207, which I won't bother quoting.


Conclusions:

Well, Sally seems to have barely mentioned Cop at all, and as for Pitch, she mentions him in passing once or twice, but never really seems to suspect him. She's made some points against him today, but for the purposes of determining why she wasn't killed, that's irrelevant.

So, basically, she's an enigma. Speaking from wolvish experience, the only thing worse than having a cleared innocent at endgame is having that same cleared innocent at endgame, and having no idea which way they'll jump. Sally appears to be both, as far as a Copwolf or Pitchwolf is concerned.

So... why not Sally? She appears to be worse than G55 for the wolves to leave alive in every way, which leads me back to my original conclusion - there had to be an extremely pressing reason why the wolf thought having Sally alive at endgame would be more advantageous than having G55.

If we have a Pitchwolf, it might be that having an unknown (Sally) was preferable to having someone who was unlikely to vote Cop and considered Pitch to be a more likely wolf than me. Had Sally been killed, a Pitchwolf would have likely been facing a vote from G55 (and possibly a self-preservation one from me, as well, considering Cop's likely vote for me.)

If we have a Copwolf, the reasoning becomes muddy. As has already been shown, there simply isn't any good reason I can think of for Cop to have killed G55 - had Sally been killed, Cop would have already had a reason to vote for me and could be reasonably sure that she wouldn't be receiving G55's vote. Whereas Sally could vote in any direction - including for Cop.
