So, Sally was a wolf. Well spotted, friends! And this is very good, because now we have a little more information (useful or not) to work with. I'll attempt a little list having reviewed Day 2.

Glirdan – He came after Sally early, long before it became clear that either one of these two would die. I believe Glirdan proactively participating in lynching Sally is a sign of his innocence although not proof. At this point only a very shrewd wolf would actively go after a fellow wolf, because, let’s face it, a wolf lynched is a step towards a village victory, and an innocent lynched is a step away from that, there’s no getting around that simple fact. A wolf jumping on the bandwagon, yes why not, but actively working to make that bandwagon happen, I doubt it. I could be wrong and maybe that’s everyday business in the ww-world, but to me that feels like too much of a gamble for uncertain profits. For the moment Glirdan has redeemed himself.

But what would the three other wolves do when it became apparent that their pack-mate was in trouble, as was the case with Sally? They can’t make any obvious rescue-attempts, because that would cast them in a bad light if or when Sally’s identity becomes known. But they would try to help their fellow if they could do it more subtly, as long as that help is easily explained away as being motivated by other factors. By voting for a new lynch-candidate, or by voting and arguing for a candidate that may seem suspicious to innocents but is known to be innocent by the wolves that help may be contrived with the aid of some luck. No such luck last night though, wolfies?


Nogrod – Cheshire Cat
Has not been on my mind much because I've seen little to make me worried. Will try to review his behaviour later.

Wintywinty – Tweedledum
Behaves a little erratic. Not sure what this means yet. Did vote Sally at a fairly crucial point.

Mira – March Hare
Suspiciously quiet and non-committing. A throw-away vote on day 2. A wolf? Could be...
Agan – Queen of Hearts
Got my eyes on her. It is curious that when Agan started the 'All innocent people should drop their retractable vote'-campaign, Sally was the first, and this far the only person to follow suit. Was this a plan that back-fired? Her voting-record is also a little suspect, especially on day 2 when she voted Inzil while downplaying the Sally suspicion somewhat. Could that be a careful attempt at helping a wolf-mate out of a tight spot? Maybe, maybe not.

Inzil – King of Hearts
Tough call. Voted for Glirdan when Sally's back was against the wall which may cast him into a bad light, but he could also have been on a honest wolf-hunt.

Shasta – Knave of Hearts
Non-committing and suspicious. Keeps a low profile with two throw-away votes.

Lottie – Duchess
Seem to be throwing a lot of wild accusations around. Was right about Sally though. Was that just dumb luck or brilliant perception?

Nerwen – the Dodo
Has been quiet and is hard to read. Voted Sally at an early stage on Day 2 which makes her look good.

Legate – Jabberwocky
Has shown commitment in the voting, not throwing away his votes but going after people who are likely to become lynched and also did vote Sally at a point when it mattered. I like that: an honest villager knows that people must die in order for us to to win the game.

Morsul – the Mock Turtle
Not too worried about Morsul at the moment. Voting and behaviour suggest innocence.

Nienna – White Queen
Had the chance to save Sally at the last minute but chose to pull the trigger. Was also one of the first, perhaps the first, to raise suspicions on Sally. Probably an honest villager.

Lommy – the Gryphon
Not sure where I have Lommy. Nothing overtly suspicious about her. Voted for Glirdan on Day 2.

Greenie – White Knight
Slightly suspicious I must say. May be busy in real life but I'd like to see her participating at bit more eagerly in the hunt.

Brinniel – Tweedledee
Has looked good and honest. Voted Sally at a crucial stage.

Will try to have a more detailed look at some people later.
