If innocent, you were a target anyway. In those circumstances, I simply cannot see how "volunteering" for Ranger protection can be regarded as selfless.

No. It is always worth reiterating. It is all to easy in this situation to magnify this or that piece of circumstantial evidence and get hung up on one person or a group of people, while those who do little to arouse suspicion are able to fly under the radar. I speak from experience. Just because I identify my main suspects at any given time, it does not mean that I am not constantly assessing the case against every other villager as our discussion develops. And I would counsel every innocent villager to adopt the same course.

Save that Alcarillo has lessened in my supicions from yester-Day, my list was in no particular order. It comprises those who voted for Bergil. I doubt that more than one of them, two tops, is a Wolf.

For the record, I also regard the following as suspicious (as I did yesterday):

Meneltarmacil
Kath
Shelob


Because they all seem to be maintaining a presence in the village square without giving too much away.

And of course, my dear phantom, I also suspect you for the reasons that I have stated.

No, not really. I am always wary of those who do not vote because it leaves no trail. A rather Wolfish trait, to my mind.
