But could she be a shaman impersonator? What would she gain with that? Or siding with an innocent so as to make that innocent (me) trust her? Or just announcing her trust on my innocence (why?)? Celuien's post confuses me.
Well, if you want to know, I said it because I believed it. And actually, I did so against my own better judgment since I almost always get called a werecreature for defending someone. Usually by the person I'm defending.

I didn't read Jenny's accusation as a joke, but I was unaware of the history between you.

You're right, I would have nothing to gain by impersonating the Shaman. I didn't, and I'm not. Read that as you will. But if I'm vaguely Shaman like, better me as a nighttime target than someone else.

And anyway: non-posters will be all the more dangerous and annoying, the longer we play...
I agree, and have been known to act on similar plans, although I'm hesitant to do so since summarily lynching under the radar types tends to yield more dead innocents than wolves/orcs in my experience.
