Now do we want to possibly try to tie Corman? Or are we satisfied with Aeden as our sacrifice
Well gee, we just had a resounding success attempting to TIE two known wolves with each other. It's a brilliant idea to try to TIE a known wolf with a player of as yet unknown allegiance. No way that can possibly backfire at all.
But wouldn't the act of defending myself in itself make me look suspicious
Depends on how you do it, really.
It depends on whether you can offer intelligent reasons for your defense. Merely saying "I am not a wolf" without any backup is stupid and suicidal. Giving intelligent reasons in response to your detractors (e.g., RB33, although a villager, was merely defending himself stubbornly, so I voted to lynch him in good faith) and/or possible alternatives for more likely candidates for wolfiness is a valid defense that will help your cause.
What he said.
Its not that simple, though. I can give perfectly reasonable explanations and people will still lynch me anyway. Being defensive sadly is bad for this game. But being silent is even worse.
Not exactly. I think there's some component of the tone of your defense that matters too. Defend yourself calmly and things usually work out better, in my experience. If you seem to be panicking, people will jump all over that like sharks smelling blood.
As for my esteemed brother's analysis, I am in general agreement for the most part. I'd probably rank Corman a bit lower, his weird behavior aside; it could easily just be newb behavior that he's exhibiting, but he's anything but cleared. I also have CaesarCzech lower on my list, mostly because I know he's capable of making mind-bogglingly foolish suggestions regardless of his role, while he does have what I regard as a pretty significant vote on aedan on the positive side of his ledger.
The list of your unknowns is actually also a list that I find mostly suspicious, for reasons I can't quite articulate clearly. Make of that what you will.
