Maybe he's playing a dangerous game and is the third McWolf?

As epic as that would be, past experience wouldn't lend itself to a repeat.

I need to go back over Day 1 before I contribute too much, but I did want to let you guys know I'm here this time. Sorry

Well, alright, done that then. There really wasn't much that stood out in particular - the only thing I managed to dig up out of the banter-fest that was Day 1 was an interesting point Greenie (I refuse to call her algae on the grounds that algae is gross and slimy and Greenie is neither one of these things) brought up regarding Rikae's views on McCaber...

Nah, it's probably nothing.

Come to think of it, she is kind of misrepresenting what I said there, since it was a double post and pretty obviously a continuation of the same thought.

Well, if the wolves thought Agan was the Seer and had dreamed Inzil, they either consider her completely dishonourable or didn't read the thread very carefully. Agan only found out the game had started two hours before deadline yesterDay, so unless she lied about that, there's no way she could have dreamed anybody. Mind you, they might still have thought she was the Seer on some other grounds, but as to what those might be, I've no idea. Or else they just figured that her voting mistake would make her look very innocent and decided to be rid of her for that reason? Then again, targeting anyone but a potential Seer doesn't really make sense at this stage so I don't know.

Although I'm pretty certain there's a wolf who voted me, odds are there's at least one who went for Legate. It narrows the possibilities at least that one on each bandwagon is gone.
I'm not sure it can be called a wagon, to be honest. I mean - three people voting for Legate, one because Legate voted him, another because of an argument now proven to be completely wrong, and the third because she preferred playing with Inzil to playing with Legate. (Sorry to phrase it so bluntly but I seriously dislike the "I like playing with this guy so I'm not going to vote for him" -argument, even on a Day 1. I was prepared to argue about it with Agan toDay but obviously can't now. )

So you voted for Mac to bait him? Was that it?

Incorrect. I said Inzil was being inconsistent (suspecting McCaber but voting for Mac), but that doesn't necessarily equal suspicious. If you have a suggestion as to what an evil Inzil would accomplish by that, please tell me.

Greenie is fine, Agan just got the idea somewhere and is determined to use it, but she's more or less the only one who does.

An axe through the neck cures one of such behavior. This game I'll be all fluffy and agreeable!
Err... Mac? Are you in fact telling us how your wolf tactics this game are going to be smoother than last time?

Blown up by a whole lot mostly because I struggled to phrase what I had in mind and didn't manage to do it in a more concise manner.


EDIT: x-ed with Rikae

Sorry. I must have been unclear in explaining what I meant. What I was trying to get at was that you asked why McCaber is suspicious and added a point against him in quick succession. Obviously might be a simple case of thinking while typing, but it could as well be a case of subtly adding suspicion on a player while keeping your hands clean.

Right kiddos, it's outrageously late here so I need to head to bed. I'll be back some hours before deadline to post more and vote.

Pretty much. I couldn't see voting anyone but him or Cab, and I wanted to see how Mac and others would react.

A wolf might have wanted Cab lynched, but not to be in the wagon. He might have been wolf-on-wolfing. Could be lots of things. But what I wonder is: why would an innocent Greenie repeatedly bring up such inconsistencies without any intent to either cast, or to answer, suspicion?

As for my posts on Cab, I can't see how it would be unclear to any honest reader: I was surprised by Inzil & Legate's suspicion which seemed disproportionate, and then made a guess as to what they meant: something I had noticed but didn't consider particularly significant myself.

What would be the point of sneakily casting suspicion on someone who was, at that point, the most suspected anyway?

I don't recall saying either Cab or Mac were doubleplussuspicious. On a slow Day, that little bit with Mac seemingly answering your summons, and Cab calling him on it, just stood out.
