- If it holds that Folwren wishes not to lie even if she is a wolf her enigmaticness in the first posts and the underlining of her non-Foleyishness and the mask are points to be considered.

It holds that I do not wish to lie. I have not lied. And I will not lie. I am innocent.

- At some stages she seems to take the mask off and act passionately and emphatically. That would be veryvery wise move from a wolf as it looks good always, fair and open.

Yes, the mask must come off occasionally. Anyone who reads books knows that the most stoic of characters can the most passionate scenes in the book.

- Literally last minute defence of Kath in #126 which clearly had no chance of actually affecting the lynch of an innocent looks pretty wolvish whitewash...

Last minute because she was not in danger until the last minute! Fools, fools! I didn’t vote for her! I told you as quick as I could not to vote for her! I didn’t have time! If I had and if I had known sooner that she was in such danger, I would have spoken, I assure you!

- She seems to be very keen on defending the silent ones, even though she doesn't seem to come up with any arguments why we should not lynch them.* Why all this? Because a mate in crime is a silent one? Because trying to gain trust and goodwill of those who feel threathened by the plan without actually gaining suspicion on others (but possibly Farael)?

You want to know why I don’t want to lynch them? Because in the first game that I ever lost, we lynched a quiet person. He was one of our last homes. He hardly spoke at all, but he was our ranger. We died because we killed him.

Silent people are silent for two reasons, when they’re innocent - they can not always post because of bad or little access to computers, or they are silent habitually. These are the type the Farael is asking us to kill and this is the type that so often don’t deserve to be killed.

- Being really quick to defend herself all the time, looking a bit nervous if I may say so.

For heavens sake! If it’s not one way, it’s the other! ‘Folwren look suspicious, she didn’t defend herself from Farael’s attacks twice.’ Or it’s ‘Folwren looks suspicious, she defends herself too much.’

I'm not saying we should just lynch the silent (whoever they be now?) and I think neither is Farael. But why she wishes to exclude the possibility in principle?

Are you blind? Or are you purposefully trying to kill me on false ground? I eventually said that his plan of killing a silent one on the first or second day because there was nothing better to go on was probably a decent plan! I DID! Then Farael turns around and says I flip flopped! Good HEAVENS! A person can’t be convinced in this game to change her mind, or else she’s attacked by the same person trying to convince her to change her mind.
