Well maybe his fault, or maybe to his honour - even if unintended.

I mean we could be two more down right now. So instead of being four down we could be six down... and continue the multiplation if you wish...

And like yesterDay I still think that is a bad tactics for them. Yeah, they kind of succeeded yesterDay but with what cost? With every kill they don't do we gain more Days to read them and we have better chances of starting to find patterns from their actions.

One thing I would like to state is that we need to look at the Legate voters. There has to be at least one wolf amongst them.

Heh, almost the whole village... If you're looking at the votes I'd rather look at those Inzil-voters. I mean it was so clear we were going to lynch Legate from the first hours on (unless something really drastic happened) that a cool wolf would have done a reasonable job hiding in the opposition that would look soo good afterwards.

To take my idea with a pinch of salt I must say I was really starting to suspect Lommy again late yesterDay as she was so outstandingly adamant with her defence of Legate. It would have been really the best thing a wolf could have done yesterDay. But alas, she was innocent as well... and dead now.

How so, "safer"? I mean the only thing we can be happy now is that they play it that way and let more of us live and thence give us time. We've already won one full Day-Night cycle more to catch them. So let's look at the brighter side of this now.

For by making these two choices I think they have actually made a cardinal error as now they face a dilemma whichever way they choose from now on. They can continue with killing only one per Night and thus giving us even more Days to find them or they can change their tactics and produce some innocents to us which, now as they appear later in the game, have a lot stronger weight and our ability to actually guard them is much better...

So chew on that you lupine child-killers!
