I've been able to snag a few minutes in class to check up on things here. Fea wants me "justly punished" for my mistake yesterDay. As I said, RL distractions (*coughCollegeApplicationscough*) and sleep deprivation made my mind wander, and I forgot about the plan, since I really did suspect Boromir and had him stuck in my mind as guilty. But think about this: after I made the vote, Mr. U and Morm said they had been thinking me innocent until then. If they had been thinking me innocent, and I had voted for TGWBS like I was supposed to, then it's probably safe to say that the double lynching would have had the same results. Can you honestly think my honest mistake was a wolvish ploy? The key thing for a wolf to do at this point is lay low to avoid detection, and if what I did were deliberate, as you can see it has the exact opposite effect.

Now with the knowledge that Boromir was innocent, I think that the wolf was setting up Fea all along, and then needed a new scapegoat when Boromir started to catch on. Morm was most likely killed, as he predicted, because he was the last of the known innocents. Yet the wolf has also realized that in keeping me alive, s/he is drawing much attention away from him/herself.

Esty says she knows the wolf is either Fea or me. I find it curious, however, that the new players are both still alive. Why is that? It could be that Esty or Mr. U is using the newbie and esteemed Downer roles to his/her advantage, being able to stay quiet and off people's radar. I don't think it's out of the question for Phantom to have made one of them a wolf, since he knows they're both very intelligent. In fact, it sounds just like the kind of thing he would do. Since I know I am not the final wolf, I'm worried that if Fea is lynched with me, the wolf may escape. I feel as though she is suspected simply because she is Fea, and is known to be a shrewd player. Maybe our analyses will yield something... I will do the analysis of Esty when I get home from school, about 3:30-4 ish (PM EST).
