So Jenny was the Hunter – I suspected as much. It was also fairly likely that her hunt would come off the list she posted yesterday…and that Form was her most likely victim. So, of course, as Form was not a wolf, the wolves knew they were probably safe to kill her.
I cannot blame Jenny for suspecting Form, I did so myself. (Particularly as I had no time to formulate any new suspicions before voting.) However, after his total non-appearance yesterday, I did wonder if his detachment was genuine rather than affected, in which case he was probably innocent.

I’m in the middle of writing a long post about my thoughts on everyone, which depending on time I will post either tonight or when I wake up tomorrow.

Oh and while I don’t usually defend myself over-much against accusations as in my experience it’s counter-productive, I can’t resist a little exposition on the subject of Findeasea’s suspicions of me. Because, for philosophers, it is such a classic case of rationalism versus empiricism. Fin is clearly a rationalist. She has a preconceived idea of what a wolf is like, finds I fit that idea so ergo – I’m a wolf.
Now, rationalism has a fine tradition but I have always found its epistemological rival, empiricism, to be a more flexible and useful reasoning tool. That is I like to observe, and apply my knowledge and experience to those observations, drawing conclusions post priori rather than a priori. Wolves come in very different shapes, sizes and disguises, and we need flexibility in our thinking to catch them.
