Re:
Huin voters –
I think
Shasta's vote comes across as the least fishy of the lot, though admittedly this is simply due to timing; it was the first real vote in the game (sorry
Nilp, not counting yours
), and before most of the action happened. But also his tone where he admits that
Huin’s response made him feel slightly better but
Huin’s still the one he’s most comfortable voting, looks genuine to me.
Rikae says
Huin’s paranoia over
Lottie and
Kath setting him up looks like a guilty conscience, and is second to vote for him. Merits extra attention based on vote placement if
Form or
Nilp are wolves, but I’m not sure how likely this is given the general feel of the voting yesterDay. I’m notoriously bad at reading
Rikae, and this could go either way –
Huin would have been a very easy target for a wolf looking for a decent D1 argument against someone, but I could just as well see innocent
Rikae finding him the most suspicious of the lot given how generally uneventful the Day was.
Nog votes for
Huin after a case against him
and several disclaimers on how little there is to go on. This combination looks pretty incriminating – textbook hand-washing wolf – but almost too much so to be true. He’s also quick to turn on
Legate based on the
Lottie kill, and while the argument has merit, it doesn’t make me feel much better about
Nog; if the
Huin lynch incriminated a wolf (or more than one), and they killed
Lottie for the
Huin comments rather than the
Legate ones, setting
Legate up would be a good way of distracting the village from the
Huin lynchers. Then again, the argument about
Legate seems plausible too. Could even be wolf-on-wolf?
(Sorry, speculation mode went into overdrive.)
Kath seals
Huin’s fate with a fourth vote. There were still plenty of people left to vote though, so she wouldn’t necessarily have known this. Her vote was certainly consistent with her earlier pre-vote post where she said she’d like to go for either
Huin or
Nilp. That post was one of the starting points of the whole suspicion on
Huin, and I could see
Kathwolf leaving that to take root and then come back later and vote for him because she suspected him all along so she can’t be faulted for jumping on a bandwagon. But as with
Nog, this looks so contrived it makes me wonder if
Kathwolf would really do this. She would have known that orchestrating an innocent lynch is bound to get her noticed early on when normally she’s capable of skating by quite comfortably for Days before anyone even considers the possibility of her being guilty.
Overall? I’d be surprised if there isn’t a wolf on this list.
Nog and
Kath look like the most obvious candidates, but almost too obvious to be true.
Rikae makes me uneasy (admittedly they always do) but there’s less of an argument to back it, and I don’t think
Shasta’s vote tells us much either way given its timing.
