yeah now I see why she was so aggressive about fishing for info, and not cluing me into her PR. And why she was talking so much about PMs.So who do you think Lupin was whispering all of that info to? And that's the person you picked to block?

Blocked Weim last night
Had something big stand over me.
Cray's not lying, my block went through, as far as I'm told.
So which is it? Did I block the kill? Oh I know! There was ANOTHER conversion! 🙄
ETA: I've had enough I'm going to bed. Good night all.
Would you vote Weim today? If weim is village, that would make me reconsider my village read on you
well, there are blockers, jailers, watchers, trackers, and possibly more roles I could think of that all might have a notification like that.
Did we already have a protector? Because that would fit too, and not be OP in a game with so many kill abilities.
Bryndi was part wolf protector.
didn't ninja come up related to Ski's bomb death? confused on that front thenI don't think there is a ninja. BJ had EON protection.
and haha, yes, the wolf had a protection power. That's typically village, and while we can always talk about "typical" affiliation for abilities, it's not a slam dunk as that shows
I just think it’s too convenient that she killed me on the night she just so happened to be protected.I don't think there is a ninja. BJ had EON protection.
I gave these numbers out as well earlier. I said up to 6 non-village.I’m glad SOMEONE agrees with me....
I was thinking 5+1 or even 4+2
I still feel like there’s another protector out there.didn't ninja come up related to Ski's bomb death? confused on that front then

Chaos is non village. So that leaves 5 wolves for your numbers.I gave these numbers out as well earlier. I said up to 6 non-village.
Huh? How do you know Bryndi Killed you?I just think it’s too convenient that she killed me on the night she just so happened to be protected.
Eta- she was a protector on odd nights - she probably protected the wolf who killed you. Which sounds like a wolf seer of some sort - maybe Skim being mimic ?

your point about mutts makes perfect sense to me, not sure why that wouldn't have applied to DinaTurning "lets tunnel Mel" time into productivity time:
MJ's lynch avoid means these things to me:
Dina - village. If she was wolf, I was up for lynch when she started replying to thread. Could have easily voted me and just let me get lynched. Didn't need to swing lynch to a wolf with a lynch avoidance.
Mutts - If wolf, would have known about MJ's lynch avoidance, and defending the village blocker and voting to secure a lynch against a lynch avoiding wolf could have been a ploy to reap village cred.
Weim - I know genny says its not likely Weim is a wolf, but staying off both mine and MJ's lynch smells like her not wanting to catch flak for if/when I flipped, and also not wanting to use up a lynch avoidance on a pack mate.
these are the people I'm waking up tomorrow and looking at. Or if the wolves have the decency to put me out of my misery so my blood pressure doesn't keep spiking, take it as a list of people to look into.
that being said. In the immortal words of the great MJ
Contingency Lynch MJ
I'm worried about genny for maybe fishing and chaos sowing and the reason you said
this post is bothering me because on one hand you make good points, on the other hand, it's another post were I feel like what you're saying isn't congruent somehow (AM read village to for wanting to chaos hunt, mutt could be reaping village cred related to behavior relating to MJ lynch, yet Dina isn't possibly doing this as well)
maybe I'm not following the point on Dina
Yeah, I said that I consider 6 wolves based on numbers, but I wasn't sure with chaos in the mix that the mods would have it be 7 non-village versus a total of 6. And that's the numbers for OG wolves, it's possible there is no conversion, or that there is conversion to lead to a total of 5 or 6, or even in addition. It's hard to say. I won't be satisfied until we get at least 6 and the game is over.Chaos is non village. So that leaves 5 wolves for your numbers.
I could be wrong, but I think protectors only protect against kills, and not from other actions. Usually they can't protect the same person every night, with every other night it would be variable if they could have the same target or not.Huh? How do you know Bryndi Killed you?
Eta- she was a protector on odd nights - she probably protected the wolf who killed you. Which sounds like a wolf seer of some sort - maybe Skim being mimic ?
Sometimes they will protect a wolf doing the killing, but sometimes they also protect villagers believe it or not, for various convoluted reasons. It can be an attempt to gain trust, curry favour, and also to hide a conversion by making the no kill night look like a result of their "beneficial" actions as a protector. Protectors don't always die with the protected target which would be why they could protect a villager and then claim the protection on a no kill night.
Usually though, protectors die instead of the intended kill target they are protecting. Wolves would want to do this to protect wolves like strongarm wolves or extra kill wolves (assuming that was a different wolf than themselves). The EON protector wolf might even protect themselves to preserve that ability.
Ability seer such a wolf could lead to different results. You might only see the protection ability if you look into them the night that is their ability.
I agree. It fits best with what happened last night and the notification. Not that I'm married to that in light of the fact I find it important not to read *too* much into night notification.I still feel like there’s another protector out there.
I forgot there is a PM eavesdropper role, it can either let someone see what they've said to someone else (and that can vary too) or see what their night result is.Well if it’s not tracking and I don’t think it’s protection then what the hell is it
Also there is the watcher role, I know it's different than tracker but I'd have to consult the wiki.
yepHow the HECK has it not come up earlier that there aren't 2 blockers? It has taken 7 days to clear this up???
if I had been following more closely I would have made it obvious that there were other possibilities
that is all I am good at with mechanics, pointing out the WIFOM and how the mods could be dicking us on everything we think we know
mechanics can be used to catch liars, as usual I didn't get to play this game how I wanted, with a nice summary of all claims made each day and by who. Otherwise it just gets lost and becomes confusion, especially when people make assumptions

Stagg got blocked by the huge presence.
Stagg's action didn't go through because his target died
plus my night result, suggests we do not have another blocker, it is a different role than Cheezit's
not sure what that means for Cheezit.
While I won't say that being blocker is wolfy, and I did outline how protector can be wolfy and used, I will come out and say I think it's unlikely we have another wolf protector. That said, whatever this is may not be a protector even. If it is a protector, I think it's more likely to be village.
More importantly, is what we think this bit of possibly solved puzzle means for what we make of those involved and their wolfiness.
ski and KL aren't in a position to comment? I didn't followshow up as in results. I don't know if it would show up as results to dead perso. Too bad we cant ask them
the rezzes might be used up, but I find in a game where rezzes are possible depending on the order of operations they may still get notified as that info could end up being useful and coming back into the gameI mean, I don’t think lupin would have been able to say she was blocked n6 if she was also killed n6. And if that IS the wolf blocker, I have a feeling they won’t be coming forward with their target...
and some mods are sadists and like people to die with the intel
see what I did thereTf does this mean
I said "cinch the lynch" which I thought was clever for tying, you cinch a noose for a lynch, you cinch up a horse's saddle, and I tend to like to cast a vote that will help secure the lynch of my favoured candidate or avoid a lynch.
they could be village, and seeing as Mel was on the chopping block, I could see why they would hang back rather than open themselves up to NK or paranoia, thinking that it's likely he's a wolf, since they would know they were village PR, whatever that might beSo the one thing that's giving me misgivings about the mel lynch is that no one has stepped up to claim the other blocker, and it's making me worry that the other blocker is the wolfy one and is just staying silent.
Are you even listening to yourself? This is the definition of tunneling. Purposely giving up a night kill is THE worst idea regardless of who is on the chopping block. This is wolfing 101.*Or you're a wolf and you didn't kill anyone on purpose for this reason.
Don't really think you blocked wolf kills 2 days in a row even if you are village.
I was about to post this same thought. I think if there was a kill attempt we would've gotten a write up.
Y’all literally are defining the word tunnel. There’s no write up! Mel’s a wolf!Glad I'm not the only one thinking this could just be a play to trick people.
***lynch Mel***
I cannot eyeroll hard enough at this one.
This is shoddy wolf hunting.
Mods you can close lynch. I’m done responding to asinine theories.

Anxiously awaiting surgery at the hospital. These might be my last words, lol.
I feel bad, because I decided if I was going to go pass out on a vote, or even die on the table with this as my last WW vote ever, it should be Mel. That feels right to me.
I kinda feel bad because maybe he's for real. It seems like it hinges greatly on mechanics and that never makes me comfortable. Not even sure how we caught Skim and BJ.
Not sure what I'm making of genny and her trusted bff cubs.
Or this lynch avoidance from MJ. If we don't think he's the last wolf or has other powers, I almost wonder if we should set him aside for the moment.
####lynch MJ####
I guess that's an epic way to go out. Not the wrong vote.

If at first you dont succeed, try try again
lynch MJ

If I wake up before deadline, I could move to Mel. Not in love with MJ lynch, doubt he's an alpha though. So wolf vs villager with 1x lynch avoidance is my guess. Don't know what to make of no defense.
problematic to vote or not vote MJ. Problematic to ever let cheezit live too long vs problematic to also mislynch him. I don't fully understand the mechanics and my feelings are getting in the way.

Why does it feel like cubs was waiting to see which way the wind blew

Ok, if you thought Mel was telling truth, should lynch Weim
Also why hasn't Weim addressed this? She just came on to drop her vote
@WeimMama ?

I mean it’s jusy super blatantly a ploy to get me lunched after I finally had a bit of shade thrown around me yesterday. He did block me. My very villagey action did not go through, as the person I have been acting upon the past few nights could probably tell you.Ok, if you thought Mel was telling truth, should lynch Weim

Unlynch mel
Lynch MJ
I don’t think he would other than the fact that my name has pretty much been clean the whole game until super recently so now that there’s a crack? Idk. Also someone no one is too attached to to lynch haha. And I was attempting to drop some hints yesterday so it’s possible the woofs picked up on them. Doubtful though as they were incredibly subtle and directed at one person.Why do you think he'd want you specifically gone?
What. I can't believe no one mentioned this yet. Its probably the protector then.
Like its good advice and its been proven wrong many times to find a wolf based on ability. But the fact the villagers had a ability seer and not an affiliation seer, leads me to think that this game abilities do matter...
contingency lynch mel
And with this thought.. lynch avoidance wolfy or not? Do we think there were 5 original wolves?
I specifically said this the day I shared the night result that I assumed it was a protector role. I can't imagine a game that doesn't have some sort of protection role.
Not so sure it's the huge presence. It seems like the opposite of the small presence which is why I could believe it's a wolf/village equivalent.
@Melchizedek I just really want to be right but I'm sensing I'm not

Actually, I understand the write up. That first horse is the jerk who tried to kill me last night. The second horse is my smug face when I didn’t die.Such an informative write up 😛
Why are you blocking people that I have as village leans? Why the heck didn’t you block MJ last night??? Oh that’s right, it’s because you’re a wolf.Blocked Weim last night

Yes. It was MJ.you were attacked??
I have to get back to work. Don’t kill anyone I wouldn’t kill while I’m gone! 
wow guys we targetted 4 wolves in 4 days. high fives for being awesome wolf hunters.Yes. It was MJ.
