These silent beginnings of the Day are really quite unnerving (btw, is it like this often for the Americans etc. when the DL is something European? I am not just used to this).

I would say that Shasta's death points more than to anything else to the fact that the WWs want to make quiet kills and leave the rest of the village to squabble among themselves, and to let the louder villagers go after each other's throats. Although it should be noted that Shasta actually need not have been very quiet had he actually gotten the chance to appear and post toDay, and in fact, his last minutes he started being quite vocal and I daresay sounding quite a lot like an invested innocent, so that might have been also part of the motivation. He initially suspected and voted me, and raised questions regarding sally, Rikae and Eomer's voting and interactions. Any of these might have played a role (bringing attention of the village to the people in question, or stopping him before he could make up his mind on any of these, etc. It might also have been pure elimination process; such as WWs going through the list of names "we're not killing this one, they could be suspected" and being simply left with Shasta, or somesuch).

With what Greenie just said, I'd think either sally is indeed a Wolf, or then she is. But seriously, there is something to it.

If we mislynch toDay, then toMorrow there would be the last voting Day. Personally, looking at the list, I would search for WWs among the first three names on the list (Lommy, sally, Greenie). If it's Kath, then that's a bit difficult, given how little she's posted. Nerwen seemed ok, or else she's returned to her good performance as a Wolf (it's been a while, I think, since I've played in a game where she was a Wolf). Rikae's back-and-forth with Eomer was interesting, so that's also an option, although I would basically second what Shasta said yesterDay: it is easy to see Eomer and Rikae interaction as at least one of them being Wolf (so now that would obviously have to be Rikae), but it is also possible it is just disagreements of two innocents. I would be interested to see what Rikae has to say, since we're at it.

I will be around for a while, then back late in the evening.

EDIT: x-ed with Nerwen.
