It's entirely possible. I've considered it off and on, but it doesn't seem very WolfCaber to me. Especially as a last wolf, he would have to try to make the biggest impact possible.

McCaber's self-preservation seems less last wolf standing than Mith's somewhat sudden hesitation to sacrifice herself. She could have taken that risk yesterDay, but if I'm right, doing so toDay would cost her the game, so a convenient change of mind would suit a lone wolf.

If Mith were innocent and believed McCaber to be the last wolf, why would she not do as she said? As I said, it would be unnecessary to make such a sacrifice, but if she truly believed it would end the game, why would she have the need to vote after all? She could have made more of an effort to convince us of his guilt, but instead she went for the safer option. Sure, she offered an explanation, but every wolf has an explanation for her actions.

Honestly though, as much as I prefer Mith as a candidate, I would be totally okay with tying them and letting the dead decide, assuming we think we can get away with that.

With half the votes already in, that should be doable, and I'd be up for it as well. So far we have -

Boro - McCaber (Cab1)
Mith - McCaber (Cab2)
McCaber - Mith (Cab2, Mith1)


with Sally, Shasta, Kath, and Nilp left to vote. Two of us vote Mith, one votes McCaber, one abstains (provided Kath will be around to vote.) I'm not sure if Nilp will be back to vote or not, so he'd likely be the abstention in this scenario. Thoughts?

I don't believe my beloved will be around much.

Because of the boromir factor of course. I believe totally that McCaber is the last wolf. I am certain that I am not. I believe that getting McCaber as last wolf ends the game but it isn't impossible that Boro can win as a lone agent. In that scenario an extra bod might be useful.

Remember that if you tie the votes you are abdicating the decision to the dead who have four known stateside wolves... while all those known innocent Europeans may well have gone to bed. Interesting choice.

Honestly, I'm leaning more towards McCaber myself, but Sally does have good points about it possibly being Mith.

I wonder where Kath is?
