You're making this all about you, when in truth it was about all the three of you. As I said before, I was suspicious of all the three of you, Huin and Legate more than you. I thought voting one of you would shed light on the others' roles. Well, I can say it didn't. But I could hardly have voted for all the three of you on the same Day, so I went for Huin whom I found the most suspicious of you three and who also had two votes at that point, while you and Legate had none.

Anyway, like I said, it's late

++Legate


Errrr.... I'm very sorry if you're innocent, in the worst case the game will end and we can discuss it tomorrow over breakfast.

To the rest of you, choose well. I don't mind if you choose Pitch or Boro instead. It was a threeway coin-toss for me, really. The deadline will tell which way this goes. Just please don't lynch me, because that would be a really stupid thing to do and secure a wolf victory.

I guess if the wolves win after toDay, I'm not gonna complain because I can't claim I know who they are. Well done, to whom it may concern.


edit: xed with Boro and I guess that can be an honest reasoning if you're innocent, but it doesn't really convince me you're not in cahoots with Legate. Anyway, good night and Night if there will be one!

Boro's defence seems pretty strong, strong enough to avoid my vote although I as he admits himself there are holes.
I'm leaning towards Pitch based on the way sally and pitch worked together to sow confusion at the end of the last day.
It's also tempting to go with Thinlómien vote for Legate but he kinda crushed my accusation so I think i'm going to go with Pitch today.

Not sure what Morsul means in his last post.

You mean my vote count? Or the post before that. The post before that was pointing Lommy did warn me against self bandwagonning.

As for your vote why do you feel Legate “crushed” your accusation? Before you vote.

Don’t pull a Morsul and vote without thinking about it. If you believe Pitch vote that way but if you feel Legate make that case and vote that way.

Well I know for certain Soriman is innocent. And I will just second what Morsul said about your vote. The vote of a known innocent is valuable even if you end up being wrong, we all have been at some point.

I am no wolf and wouldn't ever dream of betraying my the loyalists to Kath (Barahir) and Lottie (Beren), but if in the judgement of my peers I am, than so be it.

So even if Legate and Pitch are 2 wolves, there would still be the dead to vote and maybe they can decide the matter.

I was set on believing Pitch was a wolf to start the day, but I really don't know. He's not acting like I would expect if that was planned by both him and sally to draw the Seer out. And his response to my thinking he was cautioning me about my trust of sally was as clear as could be:

Edit crossed with Legate and Pitch's votes. Oh god...I don't think it's going to make the decision easier, but at least now it's in the hands of the 2 innocents (Soriman and myself)

This may look very bad for me, but I don't care. Lommy's reasons for voting Legate are not sitting right. It's very much "I don't care who is lynched between, Legate, Pitch or Boro".

I'm more worried that Legate and Pitch are both innocent.

While I'm having a monologue...

The reason I felt Morsul was probably innocent at the end of yesterDay was him second-guessing his vote for me, for which I was of course grateful. But a Morsulf would of course have known I'd turn up innocent if lynched and his hasty vote would have been questioned toDay.

Sorry Morsul last time I had this feeling in my gut I should've stuck with it and voted legate. If i am right; well played, I never suspected a thing.

Awesome vote! Wrong but you did it! Congratulations on your first game of WW Pitch can still save it but otherwise sorry for the loss on your first go around.

Pitch your only choice is to kill me and lose or tie and let the dead probably kill me and lose. Much easier choice

Ok fair, I tend to do that and can see that being the case.

This is unexpected, as is your vote for Legate. I mean so it's a threeway coin-toss in your opinion, and that just looks like nonchallantly "I don't care who it is, just so it's not me." That is very much not something I expect from an innocent Lommy.

Well, this escalated quickly!

Trying to do the maths here... I think that this may basically force my hand, depending how many Wolves are still left to vote (and the Dead, though).

To be fair, I am not sure if I have the brain capacity to post anymore toDay. Well, I guess I just have to trust that the conclusions about Pitch being sally's packmate are correct.

++Pitch

Vote well, village.

Now is this Wolflómien dissociating herself from Legwolf or what? But why wouldn't she just vote me and be done with it?


Ok, I forgot earlier that the Dead also vote, so the wolves can't just all pile on Morsul's early vote and win. The Dead obviously started the Day suspecting me heavily, and not being privy to their counsels I can't know whether that has changed in the least, I can only urge them, implore them to reconsider.

To be honest, the only one whose innocence I'm sure of right now is myself, so if it comes to a clinch, I'll vote to save myself. As for the rest:
Morsul feels rash but fair to me (if you're a wolf, kudos!).

Lommy I get both foul and fair vibes from.

Boro - when others talk about him, I feel wary; when he talks himself, I want to trust him, but then we all know that my judgment so far hasn't been the best.
Legate - darned if I know. I could see him being a wolf with either Lommy or Boro. If I'm right about Morsul and Soriman is innocent as per the Dead he almost has to be, unless it's Lommy/Boro... DSLSKFHDKJGHAÖFHG

Legate started the Greenie Wagon and secured the Huin wagon and what would they do day three? Not vote Sally? They certainly say a lot and guide our innocent Sorimon around by his own admission. I think they’re? a decent alternative to Pitch if it comes to it.
