Gurthang-
He has done some strange things this game. First there is the bible reference thing. He explains that he was trying to see who would ‘bite.’ He says that the closest thing to what he was looking for was something Lalaith had said. Later he says that the true purpose was to incite discussion. These two purposes do not line up in my mind, although perhaps I might be misunderstanding what he meant. This, at best, is a misunderstanding. At worst it is a sign of a wolfish Gurthang trying to get out of being questioned. Another strange thing in his posts is about Eomer. He first comments that Eomer is dangerous, and should be lynched early rather then later. He then notes that he is against the Eomer bandwagon. He votes Diamond because she was a part of the Eomer bandwagon. The next day he comments that at least the village need not worry anymore about how guilty Eomer is. He seems to be trying to put himself in a good light. I am not sure what, if anything this strangeness means, but I thought it was noteworthy.
Lalaith- I have looked over all of her posts again. Her votes all seem so safe to me, as with everything else she does. I have mentioned that this struck me as suspicious before, and it still does. In my experience, most wolves I have encountered have adopted this or a similar tactic. The lack of anything concrete towards guilt is complicated by the fact that there is nothing solid that suggests innocence. If anything, this just tells us that she is good at what she does, innocent or guilty.
Rune- (because he seems like a good possibility for lynching today I wanted to look at his posts in greater depth)
Day one- all joking around and then Eomer vote.
Day two: Comments on safe issue about strangeness of Nilp’s death/ supports a meaningless suspicion of Form’s. Defends Jenny’s actions, claiming a wolf would probably not do what she did, does not say anything definite. He then comments on a few of the players, nothing too solid is said, and gut feeling is cited more then once. Comments on an idea presented by Taliesin, and brings up a valid point. He then votes for Holby for not acting to her full potential.
Day Three: Says he is not surprised about Jenny, but of her choice of Form. He then defends himself, claiming that Glirden’s memory of his playing style must be flawed, but takes this as a complement. He has no particularly strong suspect. He looks more closely at TGWBS, Glirden, Morm, Ang, Holby and Firefoot. Makes a lot of statements like: (S)He could be an ordo because of this ___, but could also be the behavior of a wolf if looked at like this __. Votes TGWBS.
Day four: Notes surprising that Holby was seer, claims to need to think a lot about suspects. He did not suspect any of the innocents who were revealed. Comments on a few of Diamond’s statements. Leaves the door open for possible SPM vote. Defends his Eomer vote from Gurthang, then suspects Ang because he wants to be consistent.
His posts do suggest that he was trying to play it safe. He makes a lot of comments that could go either way if he needed them to. A lot of the issues that he chooses to comment on involve an already dead innocent, things that could not get him in trouble or things that make him look good. Overall his behavior seems pretty suspicious to me.
