Fordim: As fond as I am of quantitative methods, I'd hesitate before putting faith in your system. Why? Two reasons:

1. I think it undervalues your point number 1. Wolves will be willing to say anything; it seems to me that their voting is a much more reliable signal.

2. It overvalues your point 4, since it gives up to 5 points for vague "just seeming to act wolfishly" behaviour.

I said earlier that I'm inclined to think Gurthang is the Cobbler, and I remain so inclined. Maybe I'm being obtuse.

I will probably vote fairly late again, as I'll be available until the end of the DAY and I want to stay on top of any new developments. But just to let people know where I stand, I am in favour of lynching either Rune or Wilwarin today. Since few seem to agree about Wilwarin, I will probably end up voting for Rune.
