I’m actually writing this up while it’s still “Night”, so I cannot post it of course, but I thought I ought to get my thoughts together while there isn’t a flurry of posting going on. So, all thoughts and ruminations stem from the events of the first day, the first execution, and no further.
Well, first, it’s all very confusing and I hardly know what to think. So I’m in danger of writing a really sloppy “I don’t know” fest, but it apparently may be lethal to observe quietly, so on to the festival:
The Fea-Wolf, hmmmm.... I didn’t really suspect her but then I didn’t really suspect anyone. Maybe reading over the thread two or three times, with the bonus knowledge of Fea’s wolfishness, will shed some light on what felt like a rather murky day.
Thoughts on people in mostly random order:
Nogrod
I think I may have ticked him off with my go-with-the-flow vote (who knew that voting to kill someone could annoy that person?) so I’m feeling slightly worried about having landed myself in the “quiet and useless” crowd. So now I’m scared of Nogrod. But, does he seem like a wolf to me, more like a villager frustrated with the tide rising against him. Hmmm. Well, if he’s both a wolf and ticked off with me, I might die during this night. Though he did say wolves wouldn’t waste their time with quiet people. Which might mean nothing if he’s a wolf. If I do get et I won’t be posting this post, will I? So maybe if I am alive and posting when I post this, it’ll mean Nogrod’s just a villager. Or not. My life could mean zip. I could be overestimating how much he cared that I voted for him.
It likely more important to note that he voted for Morm before changing his mind and voting for Fea purely to save himself. Hmmm, maybe he didn’t want to see fellow wolf Fea go, but better her than him in the bitter end?

Hmmm. Overly showy emotion for the moderator. Fishy. Or she could just be having fun with the role-play.

Fea looks not at all wolvish to me, and I do not like the likelihood of her getting lynched today.

This when the Fea movement had pretty much condemned her. Maybe an ill-timed effort to save a fellow wolf? Or was she earnest and just wrong about Fea? Toss up. Fea is pretty convincing. I especially liked her ambiguous description of me when she knew darn well that I’m innocent. So trusting in Fea’s outward innocence isn’t hard to do, therefore to defend her isn’t necessarily suspicious.
Kuru
His first post made me think he was supposed to be Barney Fife, as it seemed a fairly good Don Knotts impersonation. But that’s neither here nor there, and anyway, I don’t think Dep. Fife was ex-CID. As far as werewolfishness goes, well, Fea did jump on him right away. That’s pretty suspicious, considering her true identity. She retracted it soon after, but the whole cheeky “I heart you Kuruharan” -- hiiiighly suspicious. Though everyone keeps saying she plays the game the same way whether wolf or no, so why am I even bothering trying to figure anything out that way....
Morm
Well, he began the Nogrod-lynch-mob. This could mean something or nothing.
Boro
Started that whole math thing. I think. Maybe it’s a fun WW pastime in all villages. At any rate, I don’t want to be Female Stereotype Barbie but I’m terrible at math and so I’ll just steer clear of opining on that. Boro seems to be satisfied with my innocence right now, which either means my post really did provisionally convince him of that, or he knows something the rest of us (besides me and the wolves) don’t, mainly that I am in fact an ordinary girl. Interestingly enough, it was Boro who started the Fea movement in earnest, even though Sleepy was technically the first to vote for her.
Firefoot
Early on defended Nogrod. This could mean Firefoot, Fea and Nogrod are wolves! Eh, too simple. Seemed to me like she was just commenting on Morm and Azaelea’s quick votes for Nogrod.
Sleepy
Off the bat voted for Fea. Could be werewolf smokescreen. Could be taken at face value. Sleepy is mysterious to me. (Oh wait, everyone is mysterious to me).
POST SLEEPY DEATH EDIT: Ooooh... wolves got him. Hmm. Probably they didn’t like his first vote for Fea, suspected him of being the Seer perhaps?

Diamond went pretty far into a defense of herself because of the accusation based on her name. I'm not sure it means anything, but I have noticed that newcomer wolves are sometimes overly defensive. I'm not sure this applies here since she sounded fairly even-minded through all of it.

Think of me as vain rather than defensive. He mentioned me so naturally I responded, since people who mention me are always more interesting to me.
Actually, I just didn’t feel like accusing anyone or stating suspicions, and that left the option to lay out my defense.
Anyway, Firefoot said not to lynch Nogrod and nominated Gil-Galad for death. She gave a perfectly good reason, though, so I’m hesitant to try reading anything into it.
Oddwen
Quiet, infrequent poster. Cast her first vote for Sleepy and didn’t really say why, just that she didn’t want to vote for Nogrod. Interesting.
Kitanna
Umm... not much to say here. She seemed fly pretty low under the radar... could be an inconsequential factoid or could be werewolfish. Beats me, it does.
Gil-Galad
Erratic, didn’t contribute much. Nothing much to go on.
Azaelea
Was here early and had to leave, voted for Nogrod. Mean much? Can’t say.
And that’s my poorly constructed breakdown of the players. Before I get a chance to post this, one will die. But I’ll post the whole thing anyway, seeing as I had no time for a player play-by-play before the deadline.
