Well I thank The Saucepan Man for that post. It has helped me to decide who I am voting for. I have been vacillating on my decision today because I really didn't know for certain who was a wolf or not. As I stated I was so certain that the phantom was a wolf that I pretty much blinded myself on all others. I saw a number of things that have made me more certain that SpM is our wolf.

SpM

One thing that I noticed at the time about Kuru on Day 2 was how very defensive he was. Reading through the day's proceedings again, it is incredible just how defensive he is, notwithstanding that there were only two people who made any kind of serious accusations against him that day. Almost from the outset, his posts had a defensive tone, probably because he realised that people might seek to make something of his role in Evisse's death
The first thing that I thought of when I read this is the old saying "the best defense is a good offense." Well I believe that is the SpM has done. I know that this may appear to be a knee-jerk reaction but I have suspected SpM for sometime now.

I should note that, on DAY 2, mormegil and Kuru mildly pointed the finger at each other, but only mometarily and they have not otherwise come close to making any serious accusations against each other.
It should also be noted that I have been outspoken on the phantom but have mildly pointed the finger at most everybody.

At one point, mormegil pretended to waver between voting against me or the phantom
To this I can only say that I truly did waver and I spend about 20 to 30 minutes pacing before I vote because I truly did consider voting you that night and rue that I did not. The score would now be different. I didn't that night for one main reason and that is in Kuru's attack on you, one of his main points was that you kept putting the blame for Evisse's death on him and didn't take ownership of it. I believed you on this because at the time I was shocked to see that Evisse truly had hedged herself well. I actually think I had cast my vote for the phantom before the whole hedging talk came up. I say this because I remember thinking that if we had retractable votes I may have been convinced of Evisse at the time. Obviously I would have been wrong. But that is why I thought that maybe you were innocent is because Kuru almost convinced me too. Now I can see that Kuru played into your hand on that and gave you a good excuse.

My vote tonight will be for

++THE SAUCEPAN MAN
