I'll start with a post analysis of my biggest suspect, Farael.

#16 - Threatened Lhuna, considering that as the middle ground between distancing himself from her or saying she is innocent, both of which he perceived as Lover tactics. Fair enough, I suppose. He has had experience being a Lover, so he has an idea how it works. And we're really supposed to be suspicious of everyone in this game. But now that I think of it, it's a bit of an overreaction. It's a silly random vote, for goodness' sake.

Suspected Holby of werecreatureness for putting the villagers in categories. And she turns out to be a Lover, which is more or less the same thing in this game. He got a Day 1 hunch relatively right again.

#21 - Suspected Holby and Lommy of being Lovers, because the former "forgot" to add the latter to her list. Lommy pointing out that she had been missed was too innocent a behaviour, he said.

"...and those of you who know my playing style should do well in listening to me. It has been proven perilous for the ordos to ignore me."

I suppose he means that he normally gets first Day hunches right. Well, to be fair, it has happened twice (possibly more) before. And in one of those, he happened to have inside info. Now, even if he's a villain, he can't have inside info in this game. I just find it disturbing that he should say this, as though desperate to gain our trust.

#51 - Said he doesn't claim to be the Seer, and once again pointed out to his famed hunches. Would have almost voted for arcticstorm because of his erroneous claim that everyone voted for him because of Lhuna. Insisted on Holby's guilt. Twice told us to lynch him if we want to clear the air around him.

Another overreaction re arcticstorm.

#54 - Voted for Menel. Told the village to kill Holby for him should he die.

End of Day 1

#71 - Admitted that his self-preserving vote for Menel turned out to be an overkill, and was willing to take all the blame the village wants for it. Once again insisted on Holby's guilt because of her ill-explained vote. Suspected morm because he was still alive. And turns out to be right, again.

#74 - "...I will have to undergo a forced silence soon enough"

You know, there's something about him claiming to be dead soon each time, yet each Night he emerges unscathed. I can't quite put a finger to it, but it's really creeping me out.

A long post in which he once again insisted on Holby's guilt. He said too much here that I can only see being said by a genuine innocent, but we never know. Everyone can be sincere about wanting to get a suspicious person lynched, even villains, because they naturally want to be the last team standing.

#84 - Disagreed about killing all males, and this suggestion by Holby added to his doubts about her. He had good points, actually. Then again, he IS a male.

#91 - Voted for Holby. Thought morm sincere, but still wanted to keep an eye on him. Also thought Fintaeph sincere, and said that if he's a baddie he's doing an awfully good job at it.

End of Day 2

#116 - "I told you so" post about morm being a baddie. Considered having Rikae lynched for her silence.

The "I told you so" part irked me, honestly. Can't he just rejoice? Was that utterly necessary? As for lynching Rikae, it must be the effect of being in Werewolf XVI, and for that reason the suggestion made sense to me.

#124 - Suspected Valier with Jenny's death, and the fact that someone pointed out a possible Jenny-Valier pair the Day before.

#132 - Thought Kath may be sincere (in her assumption of a Mac-Farael pair) or may be up to something that Mac may be trying to get us off the trail. Thought Rikae defensive in going after him. Asked her if she's scared that we'll listen to him.

He has a point that Mac may be a villain. But what's that provocative statement to Rikae about?

#126 - Suspected a Valier-Rikae pair. That's how I understood the post.

#140 - Was quick to wonder if Valier would say that she is in love with someone. Really, all this forward-ness is making me uneasy.

#145 - The post to which Valier responded "Reactions to accusations tell all." Perhaps this is why she wanted us to look at him toDay.

"Hey, I may be bad for all you know, but then maybe you know better.... yet I'm still pretty proud of myself over my perfect record on first-day suspicions. Yes, it may be luck, but let me enjoy my fifteen minutes of sham... *ahem* fame.

Would you like your shoe with salt or perhaps mayo? I'm an ordo.... but I am getting even a stronger feeling you are not. I'd vote for you now, but why hurry?"

I don't understand why he had to point out his perfect record. And he's more sure of Valier's guilt because she suspected him? I don't get it.

#160 - Voted for Valier, said Rikae was a close second.

I already responded to this post.

Okay...so the Farael I know does do rather haphazard accusations, a fault we may attribute to a careless ordo or a bold villain. And he had been both in the past. There is nothing remarkably different in the way he plays now than before, apart from the fact that I don't think he ever "bragged" that he gets things right this way. This for me speaks against his favour.
