TIG: LXV - Our fate lies with...them?

[the phantom]

I'm home now and I've mostly skimmed that stuff that has happened since last night.

Would someone be so kind as to tell me why Mira is suspicious? I saw Shasta claim that she had been "pointing out gifteds". When did she do that?

Was he talking about when she said that maybe I was Gifted and could PM with Pitch?

Well, first off, she'd already named me as the most likely dream possibility, so she had already signed my death warrant at that point. Baddies do not ever leave around dreamed-of innocents. So maybe she figured she might as well tell the full story?

Not to mention the fact that she was completely wrong in thinking Gifteds could PM, and I'm not Gifted anyway so no harm done.

And if she's the Bear or a Villain, why bother saying something like that? It's a rather stupid slip up to make. If she was a Baddie suspecting me of being Gifted she could either try to get me lynched, or she could take the opposite route and defend me during the day and just off me at night. Much simpler and makes more sense.

The only Baddie who might feel compelled to point out a Gifted would be the Cobbler, for he is the only Baddie who has no say in Night kills. So if you really think she's pointing out Gifteds on purpose, wouldn't you agree that such behavior screams Cobbler rather than Villain or Bear? Or maybe I'm missing something due to my lack of careful reading.

Anyway... I'll be back later after I've fed and watered myself. Very worn out here.

One last thing- did Shasta ever explain his absurd vote for Pitch yesterday? The precise reason he gave for voting for him was that Pitch was trying to discourage the Bear from killing the Wolves based on the reaction he gave to my Bear-ally statements.

First, that wasn't even true. Pitch said the Bear could only ally for a little while, which really wasn't disagreeing with me at all. I had pretty much said the same thing.

And second, there were in fact others who had in multiple posts overtly displayed the feelings that Shasta claimed he was so terribly suspicious of, so... um, why not vote for them? You know- the people who were actually doing what you said was suspicious.

What he did was no different than me saying, "Posting a lot is suspicious!" and then skipping over the actual high posters and voting for Durelin. Just plain weird.
