I was thinking about this and I find it unlikely that she would be a Wolf and receive the PM. If she did, then the question is whether it would be worth it for her to say it aloud: after thinking about it, probably yes - even if Lottie was in her own pack, it would be a 1-for-1 person trade for Nerwen with kind of boosting up her own status with the village. (Her other option, not telling anything, could potentially endanger both her and Lottie - Lottie because of the dream, her because she tried to hush it up.) But generally speaking, I wouldn't overcomplicate it. If there is a catch in the whole issue, then I'd rather think it's something like Nerwen being a Seer or Lover pretending something complicated.

Quick comment on my phone when Lommy isn't looking. Lottie's entire case on Firefoot being a wolf rests on her accurate guess of the wolf kills. But I think assuming that similar players were killed by the same pack is just the most logical conclusion, so I don't think it's actually very incriminating.

Agreed. If everyone on the thread had been asked to pair the night kills at least a couple of people were bound to get it right even without reasoning (based on chance).

And I don't know if it's too early to mention, but it seems pointless to attempt a check of a dead Lottie tonight, right?

Are we willing to assume the same for Mac or not?

I think we should check Mac. It will tell us something both about Nerwen and Rikae's "dreams".

This.

Firefoot answered that post like this and then continued to carry the idea forwards...

I can tell you all about my dreams right now: I never had any.

Nerwen will most likely join us soon. If she's bluffing, she might just tell us so (although after Lottie's confession I think it's unlikely).

I think, for now, we can operate under the assumption that Mac is a wolf.

From looking (albeit drunkenly) at Mac last night I had the impression Nilp was a possible packmate of his.

Not that it matters much, but I'd prefer to give our vote to Shasta for that reason.

Yeah I was referring to Mac's reaction to your "reveal" and what you said earlier - he could have been so genuine because you listed his fellow as innocent.

For the time being, maybe yes, but I'd give it some thought though before deciding.

I've been reading through Firefoot and just checked here...

A thought before everyone gives their votes for toDay.

Wasn't the other one (than Shasta) Nilp?

I mean Nilp is the one who proposed the idea toDay in the first place - so it would be poetically right to give the vote to him rather than Shasta.

Just saying.

If Nerwen is the seer this is a very risky move with little payoff. Let's hope not.

A traveling special role, I could buy. It fits with what Kuru said about everyone being on their toes.

I'd rather not waste our scry on Mac or Lottie. Legate seems like he has more of a trail than the rest here, so he'd be my preference.
