Actually, I had just seen Nog's vote when I posted mine, and thus thought I was casting the third vote on Sally– but that's rather beside the point. Are you saying that, in your eyes, this supposed solitary wolf would have been actually making a safe vote on Sally?

Perhaps. Although, the way you put it, that would eliminate you and make Shasta the wolf.

I believe so too... but I'm not sure you would've been as quick to turn against me in wilwa's fairytale game when I made the slip you mentioned earlier if our victory had only been a question of the whole pack surviving through the day.

If you mean at #257– well, I would say it's more that *he's* agreeing with *you*, Agan. That has been Menel all game: he mostly just repeats other people's points.

I'm only ever good at finding wolves when they start suspecting or disagreeing with me.

Just pointing out that this looks like Menel knew Legate is a wolf. But then, slips are not always slips, and my gut is still more concerned about Nerwen.

[Aganzir]

Okay I'm going now. Goodbye, and good luck.

[Nerwen]

The point I am making, Menel, is that even if there was wolf-on-wolf voting at the DL, it could not have been "safe" voting. Unless you think a Shastawolf was *sure* Nog wouldn't vote for Sally after all, or that I would vote for Nog... or... something...

Umm... OK, I admit I had already written you off for voting that close to the deadline and had to think of the most likely possibility out of the alternatives I mentioned previously.

My brain has officially turned to mud now. I think I'm going to go to sleep before I start babbling insanities on this threaOOH LOOK BUNNIES*crash*

Menel is mind-bogglingly confusing and it's gone nearly four in the morning. I'll re-read when I wake up.

Edit: X'ed with the mindboggler himself.

It does, however he follows it with

Unless Kath and I are wolves together, and Legate's innocent. But if you think Legate really is innocent, why haven't his other attackers merited your suspicions?

Which looks bad enough in its own right, I think– but doesn't have quite the significance of that sentence taken by itself.

Still not liking Menel one bit, though...

EDIT:X'd with Menel and he who is more radiant than the sun

[Nerwen]

Anyway–
++Legate of Amon Lanc

Hopefully, he will sprout fur.

...If he doesn't after all, though, we're going to have re-think matters– I would be seriously considering my Menel + Kath theory, for a start (even if it did come out of a panic). Just a thought.
