Going after the guy who just nailed him wasn't a relevant move.Scoop20906 wrote:I'm confused about Grund's comment about protecting Remus. To me it seemed like a perfect project attempt. Evil had just lost his partner and why not go for the guy that had just nailed him.
I guess I look/ed at it this way:
In a normal werewolf game, going for vengeance might make sense. Killing the guy who cannot possibly be protected makes sense. Killing the Guardian when he cannot possibly be protecting himself makes sense. Killing Uncle Fester after he outs himself makes sense.
However, this was not a normal werewolf game. The goal wasn't to reduce numbers efficiently; the goal was to find Lewis.
I saw Remus causing trouble for Lagom, but I also saw Unagi causing trouble for Lagom. And I saw Lagom causing trouble for Lagom. And one or two others pitched in. So if I had been a Protector, I wouldn't have run automatically to the defense of the guy who caused the most trouble for evil, because that's not a relevant criterion. I would've run to the defense of the guy Evil was most likely to suspect of Lewishood.
As it happens, the guy I chose as my first Lewis candidate happened to be the guy you thought had caused the most trouble for Lagom. Tant pis pour moi.
It did, however, nearly prove that Remus wasn't Lewis; so I didn't have to spend any more time on that. For if Remus had been Lewis, then the following would've been true:
Evils were Lagom and Grundbegriff
Remus was Lewis
Grundbegriff targeted Remus/Lewis on his first try
Scoop/Wilbur protected Remus/Lewis on his first try
And the odds of that cluster seemed so extremely remote that I saw no reason to consider the possibility further.
