Diamond Analysis

Her first couple posts are little more than first day banter, which is perfectly acceptable (especially since almost all of the villagers did the same thing.) What first irked me was her invocation of Diamond's Rule, and the defense she offered for herself, long before anyone had seriously suggested her as a vote candidate. I think I'm the least experienced player here, but a quick defense is usually a sign of a slip-up. She elaborated on this several times before anyone suspected her. I'm having a difficult time seeing this as something other than a wolf jumping the gun. She invokes it again over the "bandwagon" forming for her. In my mind, two votes does not a bandwagon make, especially since there were multiple others who had this same tally. Was she nervous? Or was she trying the old "it's way too obvious" trick?

I would say something about the dogged grudge match with Boromir, which grew exponentially as more and more people mentioned suspicions of him, and completely overran her previously mentioned grudge against Eomer, but it's almost forgivable considering the circumstances of the Day.
