I’m beginnig to understand why Morm every now and then rants about people posting too much… I had to read all from the beginning and, well, it was a feat!

Let’s start with the starters. I’m still a bit confused about the wolves going for Form. If they intended to create confusion, they have succeeded quite well in that. But why did they value the overall confusion so much as to leave the numerous “strong players” in this village intact? There were a host of people who did not receive any actual suspicion on Day1 and there were so many votes given with no serious intent or with no well argumented points (Day1, yes). So most of us would not have left any obvious “track” anyway – and there probably would have been some confusion anyhow.

Bombariffic came forwards early on with a theory of the “big players” (or something) being comfortable enough to go for Form (who might get more active later on). But just looking at the list of people in this village, I just can’t see any trio formed out from there being able to be “comfortable” to just go for the confusion (or benefits that would actualize only after days).

So is there something else there after all? If on the contrary the wolves were not doing so well on Day1? Could Form’s death be seen as a well thought – and a bit risky – plot of the wolves to turn attention from what actually had been happening on Day1 that was against their interest? So that we would all be using our magnifying glasses to things relating to Form and forget something important as we were confused about the stuff we saw?

Another possibility has been voiced here already. I’m not yet sure of what to say of it but I try. So Form voted for Caran, late, with sham reasons. Then wolf-Caran killed him? Some have noted, that it would be too dangerous (and overjumpy) to go for the kill just after being voted. But what if Caran (&others) were actually thinking Form to be the seer? His late vote for Caran might be interpretated just as a sign from the Seer before the Night. If the Seer has his first dream of the wolf, he surely would like to leave a “note” of it somewhere immediately or very soon. But not in a way that would be immediately be interpreted as a Seers message: those would be read only afterwards. And that’s just too valuable information to die with. So Caran & fellows got nervous and killed him off. And anyways, if they had any reason to believe that Form was the Seer, then the sooner the better? They would have to stand before the village because of the dead Seer oneDay, and later there might be even more damage done to the wolves cause...

There is an innocent feel in Caran, but “my lorebook” tells me, she can be quite innocent looking when being a wolf – a bit more jumpy and active in this game maybe... Surely Caran should be followed.

But I see there are other things going on too...
