I haven't got a lot of time, so just a quick response to some points that have been raised for now.

I do not expect "innocent" status, as you call it, and as far as I am aware I haven't been granted it. I expect my contributions to be examined and analysed, just as all villagers' contributions should be. But I think that it is rather unfair of you to make me accountable for how others react to me. Indeed, your whole case against me (if it can be called that) relies on what others have done - the Wolves have not killed me and I seem to be low in some people's suspicions.

Yes, and statistically you are unlikely to be a Wolf. But statistics can be wrong. Please, judge me on my actions in this village, not my past lives.

I find that rather curious, and indeed this applies to much of this "flip-flopping" debate. There seems to be a general feeling in this village that changing one's mind as time goes on and more material comes to light is suspicious behaviour. I think it will be more instructive to look at why people have changed their mind, not just the simple fact of it. As it happens, I have not changed my mind about you and will still probably be voting for you.

Not arbitrary, but less decisive. All that Seer talk, and the encouragement of it, was one of the few things that we had to go on on Day 1, and it was a factor in my mind on Day 2 too. But, as time wears on, more factors are coming to light which makes it less important as an indicator of possible guilt. It remains one of my reasons for suspecting you, though.

Well, it looks like I have to now. In a previous life, Nilp and I exchanged coded messages confirming our status as oridnary innocents. We did so on Day 1 in this village by anagrams, as indeed did Lhuna (royal invader girl = ordinary villager). That's one of the reasons that I believe Nilp to be innocent, because I trust him on this. Others have followed suit subsequently, but I am less trusting of their jumping on the bandwaggon in this regard (and indeed it was one of the reasons that I had a bad feeling about Lhuna). Does that help clarify?

Back later with my thoughts on everyone.
