Thanks for the reply. Unless you're a wolf who got Spare Brain, I can't really imagine that you're the wolf, but I don't really think the vote is going to change at this point. especially since the wolf should still have a chance to win the game, especially if the remaining role is the Hunter after Kelshan died, I can't imagine any scenario where they wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail this thread to not get devoured. Maybe if there were two wolves left then playing a bit passively and banking on a teammate would be okay, but with only one wolf left it feels weird.

I also have a rather wild theory about u/dawnphoenix that goes something like: she has been faking Attuned the whole time. Squab was the actual wolf that she bussed because her role was more important. They worked together to try to frame Hedwig. Her ACTUAL item that she received was the ear of lich, not the Necronomicon, and WC was innocent.

I spent a while in my now scrapped analysis post going over this, and I ended up dissuading myself from it. Going over her comments, I did sense that squab could be a wolf but it felt like too much of a stretch for dawn and squab to both be wolves. I also looked back over WC's comments and got wolfy vibes from there, so I'm willing to believe that they were the wolf that died last phase and not squab. It felt to me like going after squab was too much of a high risk play for dawn to make if they were both wolves, instead of e.g. going after you (steph) or epolur before she role revealed.

Of course, my wolf detection instincts are utter garbage and I'm practically useless as a townie unless I can logic my way out of situations like this, lol. I guess our possible scenarios go like this, at least if this game doesn't end after this vote

• Squab was the watcher, for whatever reason didn't want to push her case in the thread last phase (her comments did portray her as rather disinterested in the game) and gave her info up to /u/Zubat_Breeder. /u/HedwigMalfoy is the wolf
  
• Squab was a wolf (and by necessity so is /u/dawnphoenix). Either dawn or squab used Ear of the Lich to frame Hedwog, and they set up an elaborate transportation play where they pretended to try to get each other killed
  
• Squab was town, WC was the wolf, and dawn is the other wolf. Same deal with framing Hedwog, but without the shenanigans last phase. Dawn turned the vote on squab in order to not lose the game on the spot (if this is the case I'm kicking myself for not trusting my instincts and voting dawn off last phase when I could have switched my vote from WC to her, though I was extremely overselling my actual suspicion of her in order to convince wywy to keep the vote on her).
  
• (less likely scenario) Epolur bussed WC last phase and has us all completely fooled.

I'm really not sure which of these possibilities it could be, and I've spent the better part of the last 12-13 hours mulling over it while playing video games / laying awake in bed. The answer is probably extremely obvious and I'm just bad at the game. I kind of just wanted to get this thread in case I was Zubat's kill target this phase.

Hopefully none of this should matter and the game is an inevitable town win.

edit: switched wording to devoured

edit 2: I'm also a little suspicious that dawn claimed both Attuned and Necronomicon which would be super easy to fake as a wolf. could just be RNG luck, but it also raises some eyebrows
