This is a good point. I or Lottie could have been better candidates. Maybe I should reconsider about Mac.

One more thing and then I really must go out into the sunshine. (kudos to all players who are able to post stuff on their phones - don't know how you do it. I need two tabs open on a pc to cope at all)
Greenie could you explain what you mean here? It might just be me being old and slow but the second part of your argument seems to contradict the first? Ie you start by saying Mac doesn't seem more innocent, but your last statement seems to imply he was, because if he was a wolf something else would have happened?

2) Not necessarily in my opinion - as I recall, it already looked like it was going to be between the two of them, and it's possible he decided to turn wolf-on-wolf to make whoever survived look better. I still think there's some merit to Lottie's point about it being somewhat unlikely that both of our major bandwagons yesterDay were against wolves, as we still had five wolves in play and at least some of them probably would rather have voted for an innocent than a packmate. Even given how last-minute the Huinwagon was, Inzil, Lommy and Lottie had also been voted, and Brinn was discussed.

Ah, this is me being unclear - I think there's a "but" or "however" missing halfway through that quote! To clarify, I don't think Huin's vote for Mac makes Mac look more innocent, but there was another argument against them being fellow wolves that I found quite plausible.
