In all RB games before this one role-blocking causes the target not to use a shot for a limited abilty. So he Gaspar was roleblocked he would still have his abilty. It would be very silly to still have your abilty and to be informed about it.

I've not been roleblocked in any games, so I don't know what the protocol is, but obviously MJW is right in saying if I have still have my ability I'd expect uber to have let me know. So whatever happened, the ability is spent and Selrahc is still alive. What caused this? No idea, but the possibilities seem fairly limited.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

There was one game where it was explictly in the rules that roleblocking does not cause it to be used. But uberfish was not the mod in that game. In FFww were molach was a roleblocker his abilty stopped the character molach targeted to not move at all and therefore not use an x-shot. This is also the standard rule in mafia games to.
So can you answer uberfish--if you get roleblock and you are x-shot does being roleblocked cause a shot to be used? I would guess "no" if uberfish does not answer.

I'll state again that I didn't protect Selrahc. I don't see any way MJW is a wolf, would be a beyond crazy gamble to make. If he isn't, I agree with the notion that the two remaining wolves both voted on MJW. I think my baner gambit might have worked, as Lewwyn was actually also an option (albeit not obvious) based on his Selrahc vote.
It seems too easy, but I feel there are excellent chances of Selrahc and Cyneheard being the remaining two wolves. I'll go with Selrahc, on basis of him being more active and experienced.

I mean the wolves agreeing to put two wolves on the block like that, just to give MJW deep cover. I think it's the only alternative to finding the remaining wolves among the MJW voters. Just stating that I don't find that theory credible.

Another alternative is a wolf on Slowcheetah with the votes at 6-4-1. The wolf might not dare to switch to MJW for fear of tying the votes at 5-5-1 and losing the tie, or for fear of Lewwyn showing up and putting his vote on Slowcheetah. So maybe the wolves were waiting for a villager to switch first, which never happened.

Don't you think they'd go for the tie, if only one (of the currently alive wolves) was on MJW? There was a lot of doubt about the vote, going for MJW could have been justified and there'd be another 3 villagers to hide with.

Brainstorming in class, while supposed to do statistics:
1) Investigate interaction between Selrahc and Cyneheard
2) Look into plausible alternate wolf duos other than Selrahc and Cyneheard
3) Determine if there's any reason to suspect MJW
