Again, good job town. 🙂 And good job to Nonsuch for laying out a compelling final case with his back against the wall! ---

Yep nice job there, would have been easy to give up, solid final defense and kept the rest of us entertained and somewhat bewildered. ---

> [@sachertorte](#): > > I > > That last lynch has got to hurt for the wolves. While they get a very strong indicator of who the First Mason\* is, they also wound up confirming TexCat and _strongly confirming sangfroid_. There is absolutely no reason to lynch sangfroid now. The Alpha Wolf clearly was gunning to break the tie and have sangfroid be the lynch from tie. So Town has quite a few confirms. Not bad at all. Hi all - got this far in this thread…fascinating to see the viewpoints from the outside. I actually never thought about the Alpha tiebreaker part, until seeing it here. Noob me was ready to vote sangfroid again, until Jimmy C talked me out of it. After that, it seemed likely that Sario wouldn’t vote for a fellow wolf for a tiebreaker, but it was still confusing for me. ---

There have been some questions about my actions on the Day I was lynched, so let me clear the air. Ya’ll give me way too much credit. My main plan was to try and play up **Tex** and **Plum** working together to try and sway someone to break the tie. I wasn’t really thinking too far ahead, I was just trying to save my butt. ---

> [@Sario](#): > > I wasn’t really thinking too far ahead, I was just trying to save my butt. That’s pretty much how wolves always play. Town loves to concoct complex plans that don’t exist. ---

My game probably won’t start until Monday, so I can get some more players. I’ve posted a list of players so far in the Sign Up thread. ---
