The Shield - Werewolf Edition GAME THREAD

Brendan was 3rd voter on Derry last night for the bullet and he was all over Derry yesterday; obviously it could be a bus but for now, I'd have a village lean on him

But we now know that she was a Mason (i.e. a player who can create safe rooms to talk to other players) so whoever was claiming to be Corrine (but also claiming to be Wendy rather than Frank) seems to have known that Corrine had that power. It could just be a lucky coincidence but that seems less likely IMO

Well, shes related to Vic in terms of marriage in the show, so perhaps Vic already had info on her. Or was able to complete interrogation tasks to get info perhaps.

I dont think I was talking to the real Corrine. Why give a fake WW name? It doesnt add up

I want to know everything, in detail

1. How did you know there was a task?

2. Did you initiate contact with...? A mod? Who? When?

3. What did they say you had to do? When did they say it? How did you reply?

4. You said you named someone? In what context? Who? Why?

Your story has more holes than a sieve and you're making no attempt to help us

Brendan hops on the Tegan wagon just before 8pm. Could be a wolf hoping on this late, esp after previously saying they dont think Tegan is a wolf based off the Lemmy thing.

This isnt great.

Just a quick one guys,

Did anyones vote get tampered with last night? I see no one suggested this happened, so its safe to assume the vote tampering wolf was Shane the saboteur?

I don't think my story has holes at all.

A villager would read my posts carefully, there's info in them.

Let's look at the facts here.

A supposed villager fabricated a story against me. That supposed villager posted that the claim was undeniable and would post back in a couple of hours with the proof.

I posted throughout that the result was false. A few people jump on saying shoot him, next for lynch etc. with zero proof of anything.

Low and behold a couple of hours later I'm proven correct. It is then held against me that my reaction was not correct. How do you want me to react? It was a false claim, I said numerous times it was a false claim. I was correct.

What's more, I feel compelled to reveal I'm mid task. I don't want to give info as i feel the wolves could use it.

Some say go for it, so I reveal some more info. Then investigation results come in, I'm not up for investigation. That's convenient for some people again. Certainly not for me!

I can't get on to post much due to RL stuff. I pop on at key times like when the thread is open and once the kids go to bed.

I think there are a few people here playing a very good game and others are being blinded by some sort of trust in a village core.

The funny thing is I wanted to post an FFA yesterday but was bombarded so much I never got a moment to do one. Chances are anything I would have put in it would have been dismissed out of hand.

I will do one today though because, there's a few people need closer looking at.

You haven't answered any of Abi's questions there - if you are actually village, then it's probably time to reveal more as it's becoming a major distraction

You seem quite confident it wasn’t me…

I am aware I haven't answered any of those questions, the task is still in play.

I'll give a bit more info but I'm not giving everything away just yet.

1. How did you know there was a task?

I got a PM

2. Did you initiate contact with...? A mod? Who? When?

See above

3. What did they say you had to do? When did they say it? How did you reply?

I was to give a name of someone I trusted before I could receive the task order.

I gave the name.

4. You said you named someone? In what context? Who? Why?

Would prefer to not name the person. They are village. I am more confident now even more so than when I initially gave the name.

If I get the prize I have a decision to make. I can use it myself or give to the named person I trust.

You could explain it by saying you were actually going to Rome on holidays. Hardly.

I was picking something only they would know to post.

1. Vic Mackey (Strike Team Alpha):

Observed directing conversation away from key associates. Demonstrated strong influence over town proceedings. Noted manipulation of town sentiment through false flags and performative outrage. Suspected ringleader of the embedded unit. Considered highly dangerous and should be approached with caution due to his manipulative tendencies.

Update: Mackey stabbed in the Barn last night, condition grim and unlikely to recover. Can be considered apprehended and eliminated.

Derry, dead wolf

2. Shane Vendrell:

Exhibited erratic defense tactics when questioned, followed by coordinated defense from Det. Gardocki within 12-second windows. Possible trigger-response dynamic. Likely second-in-command. 

Update: Vendrell apprehended last night. Unfortunately DOA. Eliminated.

Tegan, dead wolf

3. Curtis Lemansky:

Lower verbal profile. May serve as silent anchor to avoid detection. Displayed patterns that may be able to save a team member in great distress.

This suggests this is a low lying wolf and may be the one who saved Tegan. If that's the case maybe Tegan moved Conor’s vote to set him up?

4. Ronnie Gardocki:

Technical communicator. Encrypted-style dialogue and calculated defense mechanisms. Impossible for even our most skilled investigators to determine his true nature.

Suggests this is the wolf who won't show if peeked.

5. Ben Gilroy

Past affiliations and simulation patterns suggest passive collaboration. May be a "Godfather" archetype — a role appearing innocent to investigative powers but complicit in criminal direction. More analysis needed. Should be considered highly dangerous and deceptive. Not considered to be an active Strike Team member but instead working from “the fringes”. 

Update: De Facto leader in absentia with Mackey and Vendrells elimination. Considered now as highest priority target.

Update suggests Ben is now leading the wolf team so fully integrated. Derry posted last night about Ben being separate so that adds up.

So that's 3 wolves left, Ben drafted in as leader after Tegan and Derry were eliminated.

I did explain that yesterday in that i said it would be difficult to complete.

Given I can only post at certain times due to RL and a few people felt I was disingenuous when I was posting I felt it possible I might be investigated anyway.

For example did you think I was suss prior to the Clodagh fake peek?

I will be back on later after I pick up kids from school and their activities are done if you've more questions

Seriously? And then post about visiting the Vatican?

It's too off the wall, if you ask someone to post something it should be subtle enough that it doesn't stand out to others.

So your plan before Clodagh's fake peek was to just hope that the investigators picked you?

Are you going to tell us what the prize is?

I'm pretty close to putting in a vote on you at this stage tbh
