Holy crap. With that night result I am 99.9999999% sure the wolves know who I am and I'll die tonight so I'm goign to lay this all out on thread for village. Basically, I'm your protector...like a really crappy babysitter is a protector. I'm sorry, I did not do good.
N1. I protected Paws. I figured they'd go for someone in the Paws/Ziggy/Sunbodi love triangle to sow contension, so I picked the one I felt most ok about. Caveat: then the N1 result happened and nobody died from Sun's bomb. Was that because I protected paws, or because they have an alpha/someone wiht protection? My read on paws/lawper has been fairly village since then, especially with the unchanging caiter vote yesterday.
N2. I protected Pippy because I'm a dumb***. I didn't believe the genny claim because I haven't played enough to know about her favorite role stuff, but it doesn't excuse not protecting barks (for which I"m very thankful BC apparently did). I thought Pippy had a PR based on feels, which is ridiculous in light of other role claims. No excuse, I just sucked it up.
N3. I protected Barks. I'm assuming that's why no one died. (Side note on my barks lynch: I had been confused about the weird stuff between her and pippy, and when I asked barks why no one died that night, I thought she would say she had been under attack but was protected (I don't know what kind of message you get if there is a kill attempt and protection). She just said "how would I know" which made me feel wolfy and that's why I voted there, although sooooo confusedly.)
N4. I protected Snowy bc I thought she was claiming Post Restrictor. Another dumb move. I had put my night actions in early, and I didn't see Pippy's claim until the next morning. I couldn't protect barks two night in a row, so barks died.
N5. I tried to protect BC. But my PM says even though I planned to visit BC, I visited Cubs instead. SO there is clearly still a redirector out there. It wasn't shenanigans, and since caiter is dead there has to be a different redirector than the night results manipulator. Since the wolves were able to redirect me so that they could get two deaths, I'm pretty sure they would conclude I"m the protector.
I'm so sorry!
FWIW, my poe points to snowy or eriyo as shenanigans blocker and wondering or 3M as gif restrictor. I am not sure about the redirector or whatever it is, because I thought that was caiter, but clearly isn't.
