I also maintain, despite what seems like everyone else's opinions to the contrary, that at yesterday's stage of the game, the wolves would have preferred to keep the Lovers alive. Why? The Lovers were no danger to the wolves as yet. They would lose the game by killing off the wolves too early; they, like the wolves, would have had to concentrate on lowering the number of innocents in the village before slaughtering the wolves.

This doesn't appear contradictory to me. Rather, it points to the balance that the non-lover werewolves had to (have to) try to maintain between two polar motivations. The one being the desire to rid themselves of the Lovers, the second being the desire to rid themselves of innocent villagers. They need the villagers for goal one, and the Lovers for goal two. Glad I'm not a werewolf. Yeesh!

But I actually quoted this again because tar's point is one that slipped by me. Thank you, tar. Lhuna voters are not automatically cleared of suspicion, not even those who voted for Lhuna two days running; which admittedly includes me. Wow. That really mucks things up.
