Hola friends and fiends! I am back.
Some jumbled ramblings, based on the events that have passed toDay since I was last here.
Glirdan’s suggestion to look at the known non-Wolves to see if one of them might be the innocent Lover is of concern as it would waste time that should be spent looking for Wolves. He also seems to be assuming that one of them definitely is.
But I get the impression that Glirdan is being far too careless to be a Wolf.
Firefoot’s suggestion that gender may help us seems to be directing us towards the females, which speaks in her favour as there are less unknown females than males. Then again, I suspect that Durelin (who I am now convinced is innocent, of Wolfishness at least) is one of the Wolves' targets toDay, so it by no means clears her (Firefoot) in my mind. My picks from the “ladies list” would be Kath and Firefoot.
Some reference has been made toDay again to Jenny’s suspect list, but I don't think that it will actually help us much in eliminating possible Wolves. Form was her most likely target and, since it is better from the Wolves’ persepective to kill the Hunter off sooner rather than later, I think that they would have been willing to take the risk of killing her, even if one or more of them was on her list. My ancestor and his Wolvish comrade (an ancestor of Caran’s brother) did much the same when Wolves.
Kath’s analysis of Glirdan is rather damning, I feel. A real hatchet job. Glirdan’s suspicions are all over the place. He is doing a lot of talking but not really going anywhere as his suspicions keep changing. Then again, I am wary of this particular analyser, Kath. I tend to think that Glirdan is the Wolves' other target for lynching toDay (with Durelin) and that a Kath-Wolf has been doing her utmost to bring this about (and good job, too, may I say
).
And, although there are many good points in Kath's analysis, this one is breathtaking:

Ooh! How can you say that? He was the original flipper flopper!
Another excellent analysis, this time by Caran, a relatively trusted source, with Firefoot as her subject. And despite Caran's conclusion, I think that it makes Firefoot look rather suspicious, and thus strengthens my own suspicions of her. She defends her votes rather a lot. She has appeared outwardly helpful, but some of the things that she has said look designed to spread confusion (for example, about the Wolves’ motives for killing Eomer). She labelled four unknown innocents as innocent in #164 (if a Wolf, she would know). This and some of the other things that she has said (for example that she thought morm might be the Seer) look to me like they might be calculated to make her look good without giving too much away.
That said, Gurthang still looks the most Wolfish to me, based on my analyses posted earler toDay. And I don't buy his "being resigned to being lyched" act. It's most likely a ploy designed to try to save himself. My vote is most likely to end up being cast in his direction.
Back later with my vote.
