Well, as far as I can see, there's only one reasonable conclusion to come to - Legate is a wolf. Sally's theory points to it, Diamond's theory points to it, and, hey, my theory points to it, too. Q.E.D.

There is one other thing becoming apparent - people who do analyses really need to put more of their own opinions into them (not just a one liner at the end) and distinguish between summary and commentary somehow. Otherwise, it's just annoying to read.

Okay, noted.

And haven't I been saying I think Legate's probably furry?

Well, looks like I was pretty wrong. What a shock!

Of course, there's still really no telling what Lommy is, no guarantees. So there.

So, people are talking about Legate. And Di. Di is my hero, so I am biased.

Legate has seemed to be jumpy, defensive, and frustrated quite a bit these 3 Days. As a Wolf, though, I seemed to recall him as slipping by unnoticed, playing things smoothly, avoiding arguments and playing nice. But my long-term memory is...very selective. And that was a good while ago, so many things could have changed. Now that he's under definite pressure (and after gaining 3 votes yesterDay), I definitely want to see his reactions.

I also definitely want to see some more action between him and Rikae. Who I agree is a bit different toDay. Something happen during the Night?

Anyway, speaking of Night...I need sleep.

Sally, I think I'd prefer chucking a knife at my dear brother; than bother with blue pills. :P Or I could just trip him when he is walking down a flight of stairs.. or maybe kick the cane while he is hobbling along.

Also, I don't believe we have any ex-wolves among us. The numbers don't support it.
Night 1 - Three Wolves
Night 2 - Four Wolves (one scried.)
Day 3 - Four Wolves (Aganzir died, and one was scried - I believe the plot mentions Mac dying at the hand of four wolves.)


This is my "Im here post".

I do not hobble, sister mine. The walking stick is purely for disciplining any insolent young whippersnappers.

If I make it into more I'll vote for myself.

Edit: Crossed with Nilp-fakeout, and Lhuna and Nilp morphing. Oh yeah, and Shasta posted.

So, I have two children dead, my dear little Ka as innocent in death as she was in life, and my daughter Aganzir revealed to have gone over to the side of evil. I come to the discussion for some counsel and solace, and I find people speaking of dividing bodies....enough, please!

But back to business:
Lommy:
Quote:
I mostly thought about Agan and tp yesterDay
Actually, you seemed to be thinking about Agan since Day One. Why? What was it that was suspicious about her?
I am finding Lommy rather different in this game and it worries me. At one point she said that either Roa or phantom must be evil, then she wastes time pondering the point that wolves wouldn't necessarily want to kill gifteds at night, just wait until after the duel. (Obviously not the case: when her gifteds are killed, the GW has to scry to replace them, rather than scry for EW and wolves, and that is clearly to the evil team's benefit. The shortlist for a gifted scry would be a different one to the shortlist for a search-the-baddie scry.) Anyway, what I'm really saying is that the Lommy I've played with (always, coincidentally, an innocent Lommy) is too smart to be saying stuff like this so it worries me.

Diamond's post 597 makes valid and helpful points. I agree that Brinn might have been a good person for the EW to turn, last Night - what about Cailin?

I would like to know - once the EW is dead, are the wolves told of each other's existence and permitted to communicate at night in conventional wolvish fashion?

Last DW game, I found it helpful to try to work out what night our various wolves were turned. Like I said, I think Aganzir was an original wolf.
That leaves two more original wolves.
Then one who was innocent on Day One but guilty yesterDay.
And today we will have a wolf posting who has been innocent up until now.
When analysing posts looking for guilt, it's worth bearing that in mind.
