Kath arrived back, bearing another piece of paper. At the assembled groans she was quick to reassure everyone that this was not another summary. No, this was an analysis, or more precisely three.
“These are the people that either I am suspicious of or that have come up in conversation a lot recently. I have only done three because it was exhausting enough getting this done, never mind anyone else.”
Lommy:
Day 1:
Mostly talk but mentions some suspicion of Menel.
Speaks sense, trying to get everyone to discuss things without prior prejudice affecting ideas, but that use of the word ‘victim’ still niggles.
Voted Naria because she had been just chatting, not saying anything helpful, which is fair reasoning.
Day 2:
Suspects Valesse (correctly) and says she will watch Naria. Trusts Boro, Nog and Mac, with pretty good reasoning behind each decision.
Suspects Kath for her summary and Boro for his reaction to it. I see some confusion here though, as she attacks me for ‘throwing suspicion to all directions I can’, but then accuses Boro of twisting my words and finding too many suspects, and finally says she can only see three suspects from my words. It seems odd to me. Also, again there’s that contention issue of whether Lommy was trusted by the rest of the village at the time, she thinks yes, I think no.
Suspected Kath, Valesse and Di, perhaps on the basis of Boro’s suspicions. However she does have reasoning of her own. Also begins to suspect Sleepy for his secretive style and lack of reasoning.
Votes Di because she’s the only suspect she can get lynched, but then takes a drink ‘in memory of Di in case she’s innocent’. Apologising for killing someone before their role has been discovered has often been seen as suspicious, and though this isn’t technically an apology it’s as close to one as you can get without actually saying sorry.
Day 3:
Agrees with Naria about Gil looking suspicious, and also agrees with Noggie that those who were killed by the wolves should be looked at in more detail, which is fair of course. Then says she will re-look at Boro, Noggie and Mac to see how important they were in Menel’s lynching. But this follows the sentence saying she will leave them be because of Menel’s lynching. Still, I suppose this could be typical Lommy flip-flopping. Also promises an analysis of Kath.
Analyses the lynch of Menel, clearing Boro and Nogrod, and almost clearing Mac. This is all great, it’s just that she seems to be working off and trying to argue against the summary I came up with on Day 2, which by this time was out of date already. Says she will vote for Kath, Valesse or Sleepy, presumably based on the points from Day 2.
Adds that Valesse did suspect Menel a bit.
Votes Kath due to edginess in her words (still looking for an explanation on that Lommy) and due to her previous comments.
Day 4:
Thinks Noggie and Boro innocent or one of them has killed two of their fellows. Suspects Gil for his words, but oddly. She says it is of no real consequence if one more innocent dies. Well, no it isn’t I suppose, but we’ll still be better off with as many innocents as possible. Also that he is silent and doesn’t contribute much. Actually, this is the most and best I’ve seen Gil contribute in a long time. If anything the fact that he’s in the conversation more should be the suspicious factor.
Tries to deflect Mac’s suspicions and then turns on him, saying he was overly defensive. Then says she is not as suspicious of Kath as she was because her defence was convincing. Two rather conflicting statements there. Thinks Volo and Naria innocent (ish) with reasoning and Gil and Sleepy suspicious, but without reasoning. Answers Kath about the word-twisting thing, seems there was some kind of misunderstanding there so I’ll let it go.
Analyses Sleepy and finds him mysterious and silent, and thinks his plea to the Seer odd.
Votes Gil because he’s the only one she’s more than unsure of.
Sleepy:
Day 1:
Some talk, also tells everyone he will try to ensure the welfare of the village by staying alive, an interesting statement. And there was a sentence of his that caught my eye: ‘I regret that somebody will have to see the end today but such are things.’ Just seemed odd given the fact that we’re supposed to be lynching wolves, creatures we certainly aren’t sad to see go.
Votes Mac, ‘probably because of the way he has been’. Terrible reasoning if there is nothing behind it, and if there is we need to know what that reasoning was, not cryptic words.
Day 2:
Says he will not give a reason for his vote, claiming no one could have one on Day 1, certainly not true. Continues to suspect Mac, thinking he overreacted to suspicion and voted Sleepy because Sleepy voted him. I don’t like the tone but this doesn’t really strike me as suspicious.
Votes Mac because he wants to know more about him. It isn’t great reasoning for a vote, mostly because he doesn’t give any reason to want to know more about him.
Day 3:
Suspected Mac because of his tone, unclear as to whether he has stopped suspecting him now. Argues with Nogrod that he isn’t ‘lazy and uninterested’. Then says he has three suspects, but doesn’t care to share them with the rest of us.
Mentions suspicion of Gil for mentioning the paradox and Nogrod for … can’t find a reason other than because he claimed the wolves killed due to his ideas. Then says he also suspects Boro and Mac, then backtracks and says not Boro, and maybe not Mac really either. Now, I might be used to this from Lommy, but flip-flopping like this is pretty odd.
Votes Gil because he is the most suspicious of the four suspects and he would rather keep Noggie alive for now.
Day 4:
Notes Gil’s comment and finds it understandably odd. Also asks the Seer to leave hints.
Gil:
Day 1:
First post is talk, but got everyone talking, even if it was about pancakes.
More talk.
Votes Valier for no reason.
Day 2:
I think Gil is saying that a) werewolves will vote for each other to save their own lives, b) werewolves would not all vote for one person if they can kill them during the Night, though I’m not sure what that was in answer to. Any chance of some clarification on that Gil? Whatever the case, this doesn’t necessarily hold true, as all wolves act differently, but it is the most sense Gil had spoken in two Day’s.
Votes Valier because he thinks Menel voted for her to keep us off her track. He was incorrect, but perhaps this latest gunning for Gil is something of a set up. I don’t know, maybe I’m just looking for conspiracies. He could be a wolf and killed Valier to clear his own trail.
Day 3:
Gil mentions the two options I was musing over before, either he’s a wolf or he’s being set up as one.
Gil is surprisingly undefensive, which makes me inclined to think him innocent. I’m not entirely sure what he’s saying though. Looks like, he was suspicious of Valier especially after Menel voted for her so that she wouldn’t be voted off next Night (this was when he thought she was a wolf), and he thinks the wolves are trying to set him up. This is followed by a rather impulsive vote designed to prove absolutely that he is not working with Nogrod. Perhaps not the best way to use the votes, but it is one way.
Day 4:
Gets defensive, saying just because he writes short posts doesn’t mean he’s useless, and that long posts don’t necessarily equal trust, a point of view I’ve held for a long time. Says a vote for him is not a real loss but does mean the real wolf gets away for longer as they can use him as a scapegoat. Now for all that this sounds like a little rant, I think it does have some truth to it, especially in that were I to have to defend myself I would be saying something along much the same lines.
Votes Mac for his comment about the Seer revealing. It seems that Gil misunderstood here, as this was not what Mac said at all.
“My findings therefore are that Gil is innocent, and that Lommy and Sleepy both look pretty guilty but Lommy more so. However, given my track record that probably means that we should lynch Gil and assume Lommy is innocent! I won’t vote now, I want to watch for a while longer, I just wish I could be sure of what I’m thinking.”
Sighing she sat down and stared morosely into her mug as though it would give her the answers she sought.
