Alright, I'm finally back and back for good - my schedule is now free for the foreseeable future!
I'll respond to a couple of things quickly, and then get down to more of my own thoughts in a later post.

I did cross with
tp, just to clear that up.

Next day...
#250 - Defends Sally against Morm, regarding Sally's theory on a Runewolf being picked off last night. On rereading, it does seem a bit jumpy of Morm to come out so strongly against Sally there. I may have to look at him next, time permitting. Regarding Lottie herself, she says she's suspicious of Morm here. Nothing really jumps out at me.
...
- strikes me as a bit hypocritical, though. Weren't you just talking in rather certain terms about why the wolves would make any particular kill? I can't decide if Lottie actually, innocently suspects Morm for this or if she's reaching for any reason to for its own sake.
#296 - Votes morm.

Even if I were a wolf, I wouldn't have to reach for reasons. There are two packs, after all.
Anyway, I did suspect
morm - I still do, to some extent, though I think there are much more fruitful lines of questioning to pursue toDay than there were yesterDay - primarily because he dismissed
Sally's suggestion that the wolves killed
Rune because they suspected he was a rival wolf so out of hand and adamantly. I did consider it less likely that the wolves had considered
Rune to be Gifted than that they had considered him to be a rival, but only after serious consideration.
Morm rejected it as impossible immediately - or at least, that is how I interpreted his posts. That immediate dismissal is what I found to be suspicious, if that helps clarify for you where I was coming from.

Throughout most of this readthrough I was thinking Lottie looked pretty innocent. It wasn't until I got down to the end where I noticed a discrepancy and began to second-guess myself where she's concerned. However, I feel uncomfortable voting for her since she's already said she likely won't be back today, and I could use some clarification on one or two things she's said, so I won't necessarily be voting for her today.

I tried to clear my thought process up in the paragraph above, let me know if you have any other questions!

We have fifteen Living and eight Dead. Couldn't we just assign two Living players to each Dead player, one to be given an extra vote in the case that their assigned Dead player was revealed to be predator and the other to be given an extra vote if that player was revealed to be prey? Since we have one too few Living toDay, we can assign the last possible result to the case that there is no extra vote granted, since the Dead have tied their vote. That way the Dead don't have to wait for us to vote, and we can receive their message loud and clear no matter how the voting goes down on our side.
Edit: xed with Sally! o.O
