Not so much confused as simply weighing up both arguments - I was pretty much thinking aloud. It's a habit when writing essays, I do all essay subjects and you only get half marks if you only analyse one side of the argument - RL habit

My, my, Gurthang, you just love that quote HTML, don't you - however, unless Lhuna is lying about being the seer (pretty much impossible, from the rules), we must accept that you are innocent, along with Alcarillo. Well, that's the Hunter's job cut out: how to protect two people at once? Which brings us to Naria, who is something of an enigma: From Cailin and The Mighty See's votes and suspicions (Lhuna - apparently I am forced to drop my suspicions on you as well. Ho hum, I will soon be forced to draw up a whole new line of suspects...), as well as the suspicion which gathered around her yesterday, Naria looked really rather guilty - yet now new clues hint that she is in fact probably the Hunter.

I hope to hunt down the real wolves before they hunt down us.

Well, it's hardly subtle.

However, this produces an interesting dilemma in itself: what if she's lying? Why would the Hunter, of all people, come forward?! My, my, the wolves will be spoilt for choice tonight, almost too good to be true for them - two known innocents, the Seer and the Hunter all arrive within ten posts of each other?! Not sure we'll even be able to gather much by who does die tonight, bearing in mind these four would all make blindingly obvious choices for any wolf, and between them those who have suspected them or been suspected by them pretty much comprises of the entire village. - I'm in school and so can't comment on this in the detail I would like right now (registration in five minutes...), but maybe I shall attempt to follow up tonight, depending on time.

Interesting that you should say that, Lhuna: who were the people pushing for you to come forward? Farael, Kuru and, oh look, Naria are the most prominent ones to spring to mind...

Oh, I just don't like this. It pretends to be cautious, maybe, or...or what? Why would you not go into the reasons on your suspicions on someone? Unless you were the Seer maybe, and had information from dreams, but didn't want to reveal your identity - but Naria evidently isn't, that post is taken and not by her. As for 'obvious reasons' about her suspicion on Lhuna - what obvious reasons? She doesn't detail any, she doesn't even make reference to anyone else's posts for arguments - she simply states that there are obvious reasons. Maybe this is an allusion to previous suspicion about Lhuna - there were several people yesterday who were prepared to lynch Nilp in the hopes of finding out about Lhuna (well, we got that certainly!). It looks like a thinly disguised bandwagon to me. I can't remove my suspicions around her, regardless of the heavy hint dropped in the above cited message. I still think that for the Hunter to step forward would be rather foolhardy from their point of view - they'd be an obvious choice for the wolves to take out.

No. And what was Lhuna saying about manipulation? That's what this looks like: a lupine attempt to join in with the cries for the Seer to reveal their identity, and to see if they could urge the Hunter to join in in the spur of the moment - allowing them to know the identities of two of the most prized villagers as prime targets to take out. Naria then added her little 'hint' - which was just about ambiguous (hmm) so as not to exactly be lying if she wasn't the Hunter, handily allowing her to, maybe, gain some security. Maybe Farael and Naria are in cahoots - this just seems a handy little hint. Along with the suggestion that lynching Nilp would 'clear the air' rather than because he was an actual wolf, (and maybe taking Lhun's arguments of #316 into account)...well, he's suddenly looking somewhat less innocent to me.

So...I have two main suspects at the moment. But who to vote for this evening...
