Actually it would've been Night 6, as Day 5 was when Gwath missed his second vote.

Okay, but if Lommy is a mutineer and not the Ranger, as she claimed, then where's the real Ranger? Mac specifically said it wasn't him, which makes me think that Mac is the mutineer of those two, and Lommy was just severely misguided about Eonwe and myself.

Good point indeed... *needs to think*

Well, maybe instant, give or take a phase or so...or maybe not. Don't try to read too literally into my words, as they do have a vague underlining to them. I'm not going to just give everything away because what's the fun in that?

I'd just like to point out, Izzy, that Mutineer-on-Mutineer votes are much more playable in this setup, as the dead aren't silenced.

It would be better if you all voters would be around... It's no use us ghosts talking without you guys who make the decisions.

Or is Gwath hoping to use Nerwen's strong suspicion against Izzy, to vote for her, and put this game away?
I've been going over and over it in my head, and I just don't know. At first I was astonished that Shasta got it, but now I can see reasons why either of them might have killed him rather than me: a Gwathwolf could be using my suspicion of Izzy; an Isawolfkya could have been afraid that killing me would point straight to her.

However– a Gwathwolf shouldn't have had too much trouble getting someone other than himself lynched anyway.

An innocent who wasn't Izzy. Attacking anyone who looks at her sideways is actually one of her trademarks.

Really, though, if it were anyone else but Izzy in the dock I wouldn't be hesitating... but this is a player with a history of acting in a horribly suspicious way as an innocent.

I think– note that I'm only meaning this in the context of WW! – she has a genuine problem with understanding how she appears to others.

If you were paranoid, and trying to delve into conspiracy-land Nerwen would be the Mutineer - and both Gwath and I as the innocents.

More weirdness.

If Nerwen and him are mates (which I don't think is the case.) - then it could be argued that Nerwen was trying to save him. Of course, if she is a Cobbler, then she could've been trying to save a suspected MutieGwath.
Huh? How could Gwath and I be mates now? It's not just a matter of "not thinking it's the case"– it's impossible!

Note that my switch here was actually precipitated by Rikae's Hunter-reveal.

Possible slip ( showing she knows he's not a wolf)?

EDIT: X'd since my last post.

Good to know. It would have been 5-4 in the worst case... and yeah, possibly really dangerous, instant losing comes to mind indeed. But that worst case scenario (5-4 in the beginning of Day6) would also mean that we have gotten now three mutineers in a row eg. Lommy, Mac and Eönwë... (heh, both Lommy and Mac as mutineers... well not too hard to imagine though ) That would definitively point to Izzie then.

The other chance being - as it looks like Brinn is real with her expression "instant victory" - would be that three out of the four first eg. McCaber, Mira, Annu & Sally were mutineers and Gwath actually is the last one... (leaving both Mac and Lommy innocent... )
