Okay I'm here now, more or less until DL, though I can't give this my full attention.

Will be reviewing Day 1 first...

So?

To me it seems he is acting more or less straightforwardly with Legate and Nerwen. Anyway, it's hard for me to take anything from there as a seer-hint. And if he was leaving hints here, well, ge did make it hard for us to read.

How he deals with Pitchie looks quite monomaniac and out of any proportion to being a straightforward play. It is hard to see that coming out from just Pitchie's posting and Shasta really trying his best to form a suspicion and vote on it - especially as there was a slight possibility some people might vote him because of the attacks of Lottie.

The question then becomes is Pitchie a dreamt wolf or was Shasta trying to accomplish something different?

Someone suggested that he might have tried to pose as the seer to the wolves with a wrong target and thus cover himself from them. But isn't that quite a dangerous tactics? Why single oneself out as a seer - even if a false one in the first place? He might have figured they'd think of him as the cobbler though. But then again, what if he accidentally picked a real wolf? That would be really dangerous - or did he just trust on his psychic abilities not to pick one? Okay, maybe he dreamt of an innocent Pitchie and then used him as his target? Possible...

On the other hand, wouldn't it be just too reckless from him in the first place to come that openly out with a bogus-case if he had a wolf? But like someone (Nerwen?) mentioned, it was his first game as a seer. It is rather unnerving to be one and have a wolf in your hands and feel people suspecting you - and knowing you have to leave early... (heh, when I was a seer the first time I dreamt of wolf-Roa and just couldn't stand quiet but went after her like a raving mad

). Anyway he shouldn't have been so confident of him being alive the next Day when he left that it feels he'd rather have a pressure to leave something than just play the odd one and leave... Or then not.

*my brain hurts.*
