Is it me, or are the Nights drawing in.
Well, I wasn't expecting that. Here is the modest reasoning that I worked out overnight:
SpM dies: Wolf = Mithalwen
Phantom dies: Wolf = Kath
Mithalwen dies: Wolf = phantom
Kath will not die.
The wolf makes an unpredictable kill yet again.
I had more or less settled on the idea that, if the phantom and I both remained alive on the final Day, then the phantom must be the Wolf. But that was on the assumption that, in such circumstances, Mithalwen would be the one to die overNight ...
I still find it difficult to see why on earth any Wolf would want to be left with both the phantom and I as company on the last Day. That certainly applied as far as Kath was concerned since, on the basis of what was said yesterDay, she was the next suspect in line for both of us (but seemingly not for Mith) after Diamond. With Mith, I am not so sure. She could well be relying on the phantom and I turning on each other this final Day on the basis of the reasoning that I have outlined.
Still, every fibre of my being is currently screaming at the top of its voice:
It's the phantom! He's the Wolf! He's taken you for a fool almost the whole game! Lynch him now!
It's taking all the will power I have to resist voting for him right now. Still, even with a retraction available, there is no call for an early vote.
But Mith? Mith has seemed so innocent the entire game. And I just don't see why a MithWolf would risk drawing such attention to herself on Day 1 in voting for Bethberry.
That said, it has certainly served her well for the remainder of the game, being one of the reasons that I, at least, have had her on my "probably innocent" list throughout. And it certainly fits with the pattern of a random and unpredictable Wolf.
Rats! I am rather stumped at present, with very little to go on.
