Day One

Lottie

#8. Banter. (In which you can perhaps read either Seer– or wolf- hints if you really want to, but I think it’s just banter.)


#32.
Feels “pretty good” about Coppermirror. Is “a bit shaky" on Greenie but “leaning innocent”. Legate and Greenie’s squabble seems innocent-on-innocent, though also possible from two “very bold” wolves. On the whole thinks them both innocent, but “with a question mark”. Lommy seems “a little less innocent, but nothing that shoves her into ‘terrifying sorcerer’ territory yet’. Has no read on Zil, Kath or me, and thus will be focussing on us. Mentions being busy that Day.

Comment: Although Lottie describes this post as “getting down to business”, she effectively says nothing much about any player apart from Cop, leaving it open to herself to suspect, or not suspect, anyone else at short notice. Well– it was very early in the Day, after all, and only her second post.


#71. [Replying to Kath at #54– the quote refer to Lottie’s comments on Legate and Greenie]

Seriously, though, this post just made me rather uneasy about her. A lot of the reasoning seems forced, almost like she's trying to suspect people even though she knows they can't be sorcerers. It could just be Day-1 lack of proper suspicions and trying to get traction, but it doesn't sit well with me.

Replying to Coppermirror at #86.

Legate's reaction to the Cop Controversy is also interesting - he doesn't jump on it as further reasoning to vote you, which could speak well for his non-sorcererarity, but he's experienced and might be wary of jumping on a bandwagon - though if that's the case, he wound up voting for you anyway, so I'm leaning innocentish on him.

This is where it gets interesting. Twice now we have had Lottie mention Cop in highly positive terms, while remaining non-commital about everyone else. A foolish move from a Seer who had in fact dreamed no-one yet– she should have realised how that would be taken if she died before revealing.


#89. Vote-post.

So we have a triple tie between Cop, Kath, and Legate, with no clarifying rules on tie-breakers? Well then.

++Kath

I find her far more suspicious than either Cop or Legate.

A somewhat fishy vote– somebody mentioned later that Lottie here seems relieved to have her choices narrowed down, and I tend to agree with that.

EDIT: And Lottie’s final post of the day was “That clears that right up”, with an eyeroll emoticon, in response to Holby’s re-creating the tie with her vote on Legate.


Shasta
#46. “Hi, I’m here” post. Also mentions being busy.

Moddess Sally, I abstain from voting today.

And that’s it from Shasta for Day One.

Conclusions: Ugh. Shasta is an enigma and Lottie is a conundrum. In the context of Day One only, her comments about Cop look distinctly Seer-ish– however, Lottie herself has said she *didn’t* dream Cop, or indeed anyone. Wolf laying ground for a false reveal, then? But in that case, why didn’t she stick with Cop as her first dream?

Perhaps later Days will provide answers.
