Morsul --> Morsul
Lottie --> Bes
Nerwen --> Nienna
Wilwa --> Nienna
Eomer --> Sally
Bes --> Lottie
Boro --> Wilwa
Pitch --> Sally
Mac --> Wilwa
Greenie -->Sally (3)
Sally --> Wilwa (3)
Lommy --> Nienna (3)
Nogrod --> Nienna (4)
Nienna --> Wilwa (4)
Brinniel --> Sally (4)
Shasta --> Nienna (5)

Since Nienna was innocent, and I think Wilwa and Lommy are furry, let's see how this played out.

After Nerwen, Wilwa was second to vote Nienna, putting her in the lead (though admittedly there were only two votes, neither very helpful, at the time.) Then Eomer voted Sally, and Boro voted Wilwa. Next Pitchie voted Sally, and then Mac voted Wilwa. Greenie put Sally in the lead, then Sally tied it with a vote for Wilwa, and Lommy voted Nienna to bring it to a three way tie. Nog, Nienna, and Brinn voted for Nienna, Wilwa, and Sally, respectively, and then Shasta broke the tie and voted Nienna.

Both Lommy and Wilwa voted for Nienna. Wilwa put Nienna in the lead, and Lommy tied her with Sally and Wilwa. Pitchie voted for Sally, tying her with Nienna. Not sure what, exactly, this means, but it sure doesn't disprove my "Mnemo, Pitchie, Wilwa, Lommy pack" idea.

EDIT: xed with Sally

You know, I'm wondering how likely it is that Shasta is a wolf, or at least a really clever one. He could have left Nienna to die since she reached the tie number first, but he voted for her anyway. If I was a wolf in his position I'd have just let nature take its course but he didn't. Had anyone not voted at the end of the Day that might have posed a threat to a Wilwolf packmate?

Actually, by that point, everyone else had already voted. Maybe Shasta was unsure if the person lynched was going to be the first to get the points, or a coin flip, or something else entirely, so he voted just in case. Or, my preferred theory: Shasta's an ordo who wanted to vote because that's what he's supposed to do and he didn't care what the implications were.

EDIT: xed with Sally, who said much the same thing.

Yeah, that's possible too. But he knew the first to count would go, because didn't it happen another Day? Meh, I don't know; I just found it strange.



EDIT: Happy 2,500 posts to me!!!!

It's possible that he thought he knew, but didn't have time to check and didn't want to run the risk.

Very good point. To be fair I'd likely err on the side of caution as well in that case. Whatever his leaning either he was intentionally ensuring that Nienna died or just voting because he knes it wouldn't make a difference and he had to.

In any case, I don't think Shasta is a wolf. I've already said who I think the wolves are. Now it's just picking apart minute points...

Well, sorry Nienna: but I'm sure you realise that you were a decent lynch choice and are helping the progress of the expedition. Our knowledge increases, even with incorrect lynches.

I don't see what we can lose by trusting Loslote for one day. So, unless something crazy happens, I will be voting Pitch today. And I considered Pitch innocent before, hmm....

Too much brandy renders me useless for now. I will probably see you tomorrow to add a vote for Pitch. Until then: enjoy life, fellow players.

Okay, I'm off in a few minutes. You won't be hearing from me for three hours or so, so be productive and behave yourselves while Mummy's away.
