Well the Elf Warrior may have just played a very clever move but I'm finding that post is making me trust him. I wasn't keen on the constant assertion of innocence but then I did just lambast him.

Which leaves me with Mith and Oddwen. I've thought Mith has been playing ... as though she's a little distant. But what she has not been is very defensive or panicky, which is what I associate with her if she's a wolf. Sure, she could have learnt to fool me, but I'm going to have to hope not!

Which leaves me with Oddwen. I simply haven't played with Oddwen enough to know what her usual style is. The only thing that has occurred to me is that she has been playing very sensibly. What little I do recall tells me she's usually more of a Nilp-type player, so the mere fact that we've had analysis and sensible posts makes me wonder.

Of course, considering I was so hopelessly wrong about Legate it's probably a good idea to ignore everything I'm saying. But EW is right, we're running out of time.

Ooooooo...what a thing to say about your own father...

EW's post above is just funky. His post, let me quote it.

Quote:
Even if I was a wolf, I'm wasn't a forgetful wolf. I was on the Internet for a long while after the deadline, so I had plenty of opportunity to PM a victim to Menel. But I could still be a thwarted wolf, but I'm not.
...? "I'm not a wolf, if I were a wolf I'd be a competent one, nobody thwarts me"?

Blimey this is a suprise .. . I think there has been one missed kill before. A ranger is not imossible though I am suprised that neither Lommie or Nerwen were protected before ... they seemed the most innocent. However at least we can discount a cursed or we wouldn't be here.

I need ot refresh my memory but I recall thinking Kath most innocent - though with darling duckie... I could never be 100 %

So my choice will probably be between Elf and Oddie....

Now given the circumstances I wonder if it is significant that noone has claimed Rangerdom. Not at all sure. And I am not asking. Not sure we would trust such a claim now.

Mu huh? Where did that come from EW? Just as I was starting to think you innocent as well.

Missed kills have happened on a few occasions Mith. But I don't think it odd that no one has revealed as Ranger. It is of far more use to keep quiet in the hope that they can save someone again.

Anyway, would love a reason for that vote from EW. It's just so ... random. Maybe whoever mentioned that there is a Cobbler was actually right! I call him as innocent so in an attempt to save his wolvish friends he votes me to get me to vote him. I don't know. I think this stage of the game is actually worse than Day 1. You've got about as little surety to work from and the stakes are higher.

Tell me about it - I was really almost hoping to be the kill so I didn't have to make this decision.... If we do have a Ranger then I think a cobbler is a possibility to even things up - since the classic game for a small number is 3 wolves & a seer ...

Going to have to reread and think. That vote is plausible for a cobbler drawing the fire from an Oddwen wolf...

Hmm lots to think about but not a lot more I can do til after work.. sorry.

Well that's what I thought, but then you have to remember that the Cobbler has no more information on who the wolf is than anyone else. Deciding that EW is a Cobbler doesn't mean it's an automatic assumption that whoever he is protecting is the wolf.
