As I said, just goes to show how analyses can be used as great tools by skillful Wolves.

I still don't understand why morm and I always seem to viewed in this way. There are many other skillful players who seem to get away with a lot more. Mentioning no names *coughLalaithcough*.

Did you ever (prior to the final Night) consider how things might be play out if there were two remaining Wolves: one the Lover and one Loveless?

Indeed. I could have predicted that he would be the last of the known not-Wolves to go.

Because my dear you have proven your skill. You and morm have both shown that you can win as wolves and as innocents and that you can do it with incredible skill. We now know that Lalaith and Ang can do the same thing, but prior to this game it hadn't been so obvious. That's the reason.

No, at least not via PMs at any rate. We sort of figured that we'd get the innocent Lover before too long and the problem would just go away. Really bright plan that

Um, I think we contemplated it. Yes, Ang suggested it and we had a little chat about it, but I don't think we ever really thought you were the Seer. Why, were you trying to fake it?

A bit. It's fun to try and steer the wolf conversation towards yourself when you are merely an innocent ordo, the only problem is the seer dreams of you too

Ah this is true. Well take heart then, as you were the subject of some conversation, and some serious pushing for your death during the Day too

Well, there are others who have, I think, proven their skill in past games, Lal included. I always think it rather unfair that players like morm, Eomer and I seem to get singled out for special treatment, when others are just as deserving (even though they might be reluctant to accept their just reward ... ).

Looking back on my notes, I see that only one of the baddies (Ang) voted for Nilp that first Day. And his was the vote I least suspected! Gah! Oh well, at least I was right that only one Wolf voted for Eomer. And there was indeed one Wolf (Kath) who no-voted on Day 1.

Gah (again)! Gurth's votes on Days 1 and 2 were such throwaway votes! And his vote for Rune was the most likely Wolf-on-Wolf vote!

This was my suspect list immediately after my Rune death analysis:

Quote:
Current view:

Almost certainly a Wolf: Gurthang
Possible Wolves: Anguirel, Kath and Glirdan.
Tend to think innocent: Firefoot, Lalaith
Likely innocents: TGWBS, Durelin
Innocents: Caran, Findesea, Tailesin

Innocent Lover: Taliesin or Durelin?
Why on earth did I let Gurth slip from top spot on my suspect list??!! And why on earth did I get so hung up about Firefoot??!! Triple Gah!
