Valier
#11
Opens with a joking predictions/stereotypes sort of post. On the surface, nothing to read any meaning into. Oh, but this is Downsian Werewolf were every joke, quip, and throwaway comment must be analyzed within an inch of its life! Haha! So, note that her opinions run to these sorts of categories (becuase you know you love the categories)
Definity bad:
Boromir
Jenny
Naria
Roa
Slightly or vaguely suspicious:
Ang
Spawn
Dimwë
Eonwe
Firefoot
Kitanna
Lalaith
tp
No opinion:
Enca
Mac
Well, that was fun, pointless, and boring all at once. Interesting to me, though, that the strongest conviction she seems to display (even jokingly) is that Boro is definitely a Werepenguin. Either her instincts are frightening even when she is only joking, or she knew this and was being frightfully bold.

Here she agrees with me about Werewolf 101 to be boring. This isn't surprising, as Valier is outspokenly more of an instinct and feeling kind of a player than a strategm and theorizing sort of player, and all the WW101 fell under the strategm and theorizing. So this is not suspicious coming from Val. She promises a post with another overview of baddies/goodies, but a serious one this time.

Questions tp about the arrow icon. I found this strange last game and find it strange again, but then, I have been on the board almost as long as tp has and have known him to use that icon as a calling card in any situation.

Comes through with the promised "thoughts on players" post. Potential wp's are Ang, Naria, phantom. Finds Naria and Mac "iffy." Says "Jenny, Spawn, Boromir, Diamond, Firefoot are in my feels innocent list." Others she doesn't know about. So, obviously, of the known innocents she suspects tp (for his use of icon, apparently) and doesn't mention the other two. The known wp is on her likely innocents, which doesn't necessarily mean anything, to which I can attest.

Here she dislikes Roa's comment when Roa says it's dangerous to assume her innocence. Not really sure what's so off about Roa's comment here, myself. It's really actually sort of a "No, duh" comment because it is dangerous to assume other people's innocence. I think it's necessary to a point but it
is dangerous.

Votes Ang, questioning his push to lynch Kitanna. I myself didn't like Ang's suggestion to lynch Kitanna because I thought her innocent, but perhaps this was Ang sensing Lal's Seerishness, so in a way it makes sense.

Things started to get rather jumbled and cross posted at that point in the Day so it's kind of hard to tell what people were thinking. But I find it interesting that she made her Ang vote even after Lal made that rather telling "Oh Diamond, not again" comment. I can tell you, even though I read that post after the deadline when I got home, it gave me a chill, sort of like the precurser to the "oh d'oh" when she came right out and said she was the Seer. So the fact that Val said, "Well I see no reason not to go with my gut on this one" and went ahead and voted Ang in that strange period between "Oh Diamond, not again" and the reveal, when a vote to save Lal would have been better, makes me question how well that gut is working.

It takes her 6 minutes to change her vote after Lal reveals. I'd say that's pretty quickly, which tends to speak for innocence in my mind. I mean, she could have laid low and said that she left for the day after voting Ang. But then, being so sneaky may simply have not have occured to her and she rushed to do the good looking thing.

Advocates that Lal reveal her dream.

Questions why she on people's suspects lists and restates her likely trio of wp's from yesterDay. Still suspects Ang.
#184
Questions Ang on a supposed anagram. Frankly, I don't think this even is an anagram. What's it supposed to say? *scratches head*
So, my opinions.... She seems a bit suspicious in some posts then less so in others, which makes her feel a bit slippery to me. I can well understand tp's vote for her. I will take a look at some other suspects before making a decision about what to do about her.
