For me, it's mostly about what kind of bussing behaviour makes sense and what doesn't. I still think Lommy's Legate vote wouldn't have made sense if she was a wolf with him - off-handedly voting for a fellow who had been doing an excellent job flying under the radar so far. It would have been an unnecessarily risky thing to do on a Day when an innocent lynch would have meant an immediate wolf victory, and when there was a decent argument against innocent Pitch. This is especially true since Lommy hadn't exactly dug herself into any trenches she couldn't have backed out of - on the contrary, she was explicit about being clueless, which would have been a good cover for buying the argument against Pitch.

Meanwhile, if Morsul is the wolf, bussing Sally would have been more or less a necessity - he had suspected her already the Day before, and with the reveal of at least one wolf between himself, Sally and Pitch, not going after Sally would have looked incredibly fishy. I could see a Morswolf then attempting the same early-vote strategy the next Day to try and lynch Pitch, who had nicely incriminated himself by defending Sally. It just - makes more sense I guess? But there's a limit to the extent to which logic can be trusted in werewolf, so really, it's anyone's guess.

Hi all sorry for radio silence. I can be here for voting til the deadline (although future Kath won't thank me for it) to be part of Deadline Chicken.

Errr... no? We're having nervous breakdowns here!

Well, what sort of a final Day would that be without nervous breakdowns, am I right?

You already killed us! Do you have to drive us mad as well?!

Hey! I am here just observing, whatever the Living are doing is none of my business.

[Boromir88]

Hey, Soriman voted for Morsul. Come on Pitch

[Huinesoron]

Form & Greenie, thank you for the reasoned answers re Morsul. I feel like a lot of my worries over Lommy have been based on their interactions with the Ghost, but... it's a new role, we're all figuring out how to make use of it. Given that known innocents have repeatedly misunderstood how the Dead and the Ghost work in this game, I don't think I can hold it against Lommy for doing the same.

So I stand convinced on Morwolf. Given that the Wolves aren't going to give us anything useful, that sort of read is better than trying to play their games.

With Soriman's vote in place, Morsul is definitely on the block today, so we can vote to confirm if we want.

Oh no! The Deadline Chicken!

(And you are welcome, because it could have been that much worse if last to get votes sealed the deal)

(Also... why Chicken? Not that I mind, but I am just confused)

Persuade a bit harder and it might work.

Okay, I really need sleep now. (Never mind future Greenie, present Greenie can't keep her eyes open anymore.) I'm afraid this will amount to a game of absurd Deadline Chicken whatever we do. As there's no way I could stay awake for another hour and 20 minutes, I'm going to stick to my original plan and abstain. Even without me, there should still be enough of us to out-Chicken the wolves - and me voting early for the wrong person is a potential disaster.

Oh my God, he what?? Please Pitch, vote Morsul too and take it out of our hands!

NO

[A Little Green]

PITCH!!! OH NO YOU DIDN'T

So it really is up to us now.

[Boromir88]

I've kept my cards and thoughts close to my chest today, because...

1. I really wish Soriman and Pitch would just take it out of our hands and vote for the same person, but I'm not very hopeful that would happen.

2. I feel like if I were the first to cast my vote and say it is the wolf. Legate and sally would pile on it to make it only appear that I voted for the ordo (when in fact it was for the wolf) and then the rest would then suddenly vote to save the other.

Yes I actually have been thinking #2 as the sneaky wolf tactic today. I would of course be grateful if there was a gentleperson's agreement that the wolves just split their vote today

Future hS has been screaming at me for the past five nights or so, so I get you.
