I'm actually glad someone recognizes this. Ever since that game where I was a wolf and got mad at people going after an innocent Mac, people have been saying I'm so tricksy and false and everything, when I was actually genuinely mad.
The same things often annoy me regardless of my role (people saying things that seem simplistic, don't make sense to me, or seem to take werewolf itself in a direction I don't appreciate). Besides, I'm not proud of my temper and wouldn't want to benefit from it in any way.
About
Kath: well, I was kind of hoping for a ranger reveal and a known innocent myself, so I can't suspect her on that basis. A vote for her feels like a shot in the dark.
Nerwen and
Nog are both ringing alarm bells and either one could have been my top suspect in a different group. The wolves have done a good job of leaving people alive who are difficult to read and trust (myself included).
On that note, (to
Sally in particular), if
Brinn did dream of me on Night 1 she almost certainly did so because I'm supposedly so hard to read/always suspicious or whatever my reputation is, in which case it would be a shame to throw away the one bit of useful information our seer managed to give us. I mean, I suppose the wolves left me alive on the assumption I could still talk my neck into a noose, or at least lead people astray. I might be doing just that: I wish there were retractions, because I wanted to vote thoughtfully toDay, not impulsively!
About
Nog and
Nerwen: the former is playing very carefully, and doesn't really seem to be making that much effort to find wizards. From an innocent
Nog I'm used to seeing wild schemes and trickery, rants about submarines, etc.
Nerwen doesn't seem quite right either; in this case, it's all the talk of what the wolves are thinking, and vehemence about what that might be and why wolves do this or that. No, that's not always suspicious, but if there is anything a wolf might get genuinely annoyed at, it is being suspected for the wrong reasons! Perhaps she speaks the truth about gunning for the seer? Didn't
Volo also suspect her? Perhaps their plan was "kill
Volo and try to pass off the reason as
Rikae rather than
Nerwen"? I'll have to go back and look at
Volo's posts to see if this makes sense, because right now I just remember
Nog mentioning
Nerwen as a possibility.
And, on the other hand, the fact that
Sally got that upset about having her theories dismissed suggests those theories are honestly held.
No, I'm really not very sure about my vote anymore at all. Yes, I could do that as a wolf: pretend to make a vote in anger and then regret it, in order to absolve myself of responsibility and set up my suspicions for the next day. I could, but it would be extremely risky when I'm already under fire for "flip-flopping", and it would also border on unethical by my standards (like I said, I'm not proud of my temper and don't want to benefit from it. I start every game hoping to play it cool, regardless of my role, and I fail every time.
