Y'all cannot actually think I'd have voted as early as I did if I wasn't sure. Chaos benefits wolves so I'd have waited to the end.

You can't be sure. You're not the Seer. And you started the day by apologising for being so wrong about Form (as we all were ...) and saying you needed to rethink everything.

I'm sorry, but if your fellows (Pitch, Sally, Kath?) are all also more or less highly suspected, it's a good tactic to get an innocent alternative out as early as possible.

Lommy now seems to be looking for allies any which way. Really looks like a cobbler who can't for the life of her figure out which possible wolf pack to support.


I think the Kath/Mac liaison has merits. If Mac is innocent, that's another matter, but for toDay let's make it official:

That's three votes for Mac now, right? From sally, Shasta and Pitch.

Well my current thinking is that sally, Shasta and Rikae are the wolves with Pitch as the Cobbler.

But admittedly a lot of that comes from the fact that I've spent most of the Day agreeing with Mac and so leaning to trusting him.

Yeah, there's no way three innocents just randomly decided to make a bandwagon against Mac.

A quick tally

Shasta > Mac
Sally > Mac (2)
Pitch > Mac (3)
Rikae > Shasta

30 minutes to go.

One, at least, but I'm fairly confident.

Which is gonna make me look real foolish if I'm wrong. But I don't think I am.

Okay then, let's not split it.

I am really gonna kick myself extra hard if Mac and Kath are wolves and it was obvious to everybody except blind old me (and to Rikae if she isn't the third one).

++Shasta

Do I need to spell it out. That bandwagon can NOT be innocent. It's possible there's an innocent in it, but somehow I don't think it's Shasta. He might be the cobbler though.

But yeah, let's not split the vote.

I could have gone with Sally or Pitch, too, but with two votes for Shasta, it's him or me.

This is ridiculous. I'm not lynching Shasta either. He's at best the cobbler. We need a wolf.

Agreed, but I don't think all of them are wolves either.

While I don't want to split the vote up too much I have no interest in voting Shasta.

I'd rather have gone with sally I think but it's a moot point now. We can't afford to have lynched the Cobbler and if Pitch has been doing a stellar job of hiding lycanthropy behind Cobblerishness, and Shasta the other way around. Ugh.

Hopefully I'm wrong and Greenie didn't dream of Shasta, but I'm quite concerned.

And this is then interesting, because do the rest of us have a consensus enough to feel that Shasta is suspicious enough to make him an alternative to Mac? If not, and Mac is innocent, this could split the vote enough for the three votes for Mac to keep him ahead.
