Wow, my reread has left me even more confused. If Mithalwen is indeed the Goose, then she went to some lengths proving otherwise. She has named two people innocent whom I think are innocent as well and with her everything seems to fit.

Now Glirdan… he gave us a Duck. Accidentally, maybe? Would Glirdan the Goose be convinced of Spawn's innocence? Is he a Duck? Neither of these explanations seem very likely and Mithalwen was not attacked last Night. Of course, the Duck may be as clueless as we are.

So I suppose we shall have to let it slide and focus on other matters. We have fought and argued over this too long: Glirdan and Mith are Goose and Owl and only time will tell who is who. Glirdan seems more trustworthy -he did give us a duck and deserves some credit - but I would not be willing to bet my life on it. If they find a Duck: excellent, we can lynch that person and see who was truthful. If they find innocents: wonderful, but we can never be sure.

Because of yesterDay's proceedings, voting records seem useless. In general, people followed first Mith and then Glirdan with a few notable exceptions:

Kath who voted for Mormegil after Glirdy's revelation yesterDay.
Sleepy who voted for Kath
Lalaith, now deceased, voted for Roa after Glirdy's revelation

Which brings me to the question: why Lalaith? Sure, she was wise enough and generally not suspected, but would SpM not be a better candidate for eating? He is now more or less proven to be not the Goose nor a Duck.

And maybe it is worth mentioning that Anguirel and I followed Spawn in voting Mormegil instead of Roa_Aoife as proposed by Mithalwen. I know I am innocent and just found the case against Mormegil more convincing than against Roa… and though Anguirel's behaviour might have been a bit questionable in retrospect (i.e. the fierceness and his loyalty to Owl number one), I am hesitant to judge him on this.

I am also a little wary of Nogrod and JennyHallu. Nogrod because he was declared innocent by Mith. I think him likely innocent too, but I just don't wish to forget about him. JennyHallu because she insisted on continuing persecuting Saucy despite the fact that both Owl candidates had declared him innocent.

I am currently not at all suspicious of:

Saucepan Man - obvious reasons
Valier - because of her continued good insights (though I have no idea where she gets them from. If she is the final Duck, she is playing a remarkably cunning game.)
Mormegil - as mentioned above
Lote22 - because of the voting on Day 1
