I’ve got a bit of time on my hands right now but probably won’t have much time later, except to come on to read and vote tomorrow. So, as many of us have been posting our opinions on our fellow villagers, here’s mine.
Oh one thing before I start: I wanted to follow up the point Gurthang made earlier about the wolves knowing that CoD wasn’t bluffing. I thought this was good reasoning but then I realised the wolves might also have thought, like a lot of people clearly did, that CoD was the werebear and so WAS bluffing. In which case they might, or might not, have voted for him.

So, the survivors, in alphabetical order:
Arcticstorm – voiced early suspicions of Mithalwen, so unlikely to be a wolf. Has not acted in a particularly Cobblerish way. Might conceivably be the Bear but I don’t think so.
littlemanpoet of Willowbottom – Our strangely gendershifting baker is to my mind a possible wolf. Mith's hint about the Seer, and his quick vote for Gurthang. If he thought Gil was the cobbler and CoD the bear, it might explain his vote for Durelin on day 2.
Boromir88 – His insistence that innocents need not and should not defend themselves was wrong and unhelpful, particularly with regard to his persecution of the late Captain. Possible Bear.
Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant – SpM’s reasoning in post #200 puts her in the spotlight. (And yes, I know it puts me in the spotlight too) Voted for Mith after her fate was more or less sealed. LMP puts her in the category of those he doesn’t suspect at all because of their role in catching wolves, but this is odd as she never voiced any suspicion of Mith before she voted for her. I think she is a possible wolf.
Durelin – Her actions were initially skittish and random, but today she makes more sense. Mildly suspicious.
Gil-Galad - Like nearly all of us have said. Could be a wolf, could be the cobbler, could just be Gil.
Gurthang. That first day vote does bother me. He’s not a wolf, that’s for sure, and I don’t think he’s a bear, but he might be the cobbler.
Laitaine –Someone I’m just not sure about. Some of you have pounced on my early defence of her infrequent posting but that was just a passing comment, a fairly obvious piece common-sense.
Meneltarmacil – Again, mildly suspicious. I too noticed what SpM pointed out in post #212.
Nonnacedak – Another not sure. Like a lot of you, I’m finding it hard to get a handle on this character.
SamwiseGamgee – Not a wolf. He was “sure as he can be” however that CofD was a Bear, and voted for him early. Only mildly suspicious as cobbler or a bear however.
Saucepan Man – He rabble-rouses with Boromir’s help to lynch CofD. And, like dancing spawn, he voted for Mith suspiciously late. However unlike DS he did voice suspicions of Mith earlier in the day. He cheerfully implicates himself by his own reasoning in post 200. Few wolves would be so audacious but if anyone would be up for such a daring plan, it would be SpM. Yet… his reasoning has mostly been sound (except when it comes to his stubborn suspicions of my good self, ahem) and I somehow think he’s innocent.
Wilwarin538 – Again, someone I am not sure about at all.

Chief wolf suspects: LMP and dancing spawn. Minor wolf suspect: Gil.
Chief Bear suspect: Boromir.
Chief Cobbler suspects: Gil-Galad and Gurthang.

Lalaith reserves the right to change her mind on any or all of the above and is open to all reasonable argument.
