So here's something that has been bothering me since end of last night, and one of the reasons I'm particularly wary of Selrahc here.
There are a couple things about this statement that rang bells for me. Wolves, I believe, always want their kill to succeed. You never know what's going to happen down the line so not killing someone might come back to bite you in the butt. If I'm a wolf I want to make sure I kill every night. I have no idea if there is a protective role out there, limited in some fashion or not, and I sincerely don't want anyone to draw it out if there is such a role.
But this post does two things. It hints at a more "benign explanation" ie: a power role, but also it make any baner who might have been successful think that they might not have actually been successful. It's the kind of a mind game I see wolf-Selrahc trying to play to make up for a missed kill. If the protective role is some kind of village roleblocker, maybe Selrahc is attempting to convince said person that they didn't roleblock a killing wolf when they actually did. (Again any power roles please do not reveal unless super necessary)
I'm suspicious, I was suspicious yesterday and if I had been online at the end of the day when people ACTUALLY TALKED I might have been amenable to a Selrahc lynch. I probably would still have wanted to lynch Azza, but if I had to give up on Azza to save waterbat and compromise on Selrahc then I think I likely would have done that, maybe. Eh. Maybe not. Whatever, point is I find Selrahc suspicious now.

It's alarming. That kind of move is one I'd expect right at the endgame, and I was hoping we have at least one more available mislynch.
Hopefully though, there is a more benign explanation.
