Hehe, yesterDay was eventful enough while I was present, but I see that it became even more so after I left ...
A brief word on my vote as, even though I thought I had explained my position sufficiently at the time, it still seems to have caused an issue. I had to vote when I did. I did not have sufficient time to be able to form any firm opinion on anyone other than Rikae and Roa (and Nogrod, obviously). While I could not be 100% certain, I was pretty much convinced that Roa was the Cobbler. So I thought it by far the best course to vote for her than to vote for someone about whom I was unsure.
And, in retrospect and my own position aside, I am having some difficulty seeing any convincing reason for not voting for her. Had she not been lynched, the likelihood is that an innocent would have been (particularly as I seem to have been the principal alternative candidate

). So, the most likely result of not voting for her would have been 15 villagers toDay, 5 of whom would have been opposed to the innocents. And, while Roa could have been ignored, her vote would have remained valid (and retractable). That, to my mind, would have been a significantly worse position than we find ourselves in toDay. Also, while I think it unlikely that the Faithfuls would have left Rikae alive, since that would most probably have given her two further dreams, it was possible that (still being four in number) they would have taken the risk, and we would have had no way of knowing which of Roa and Rikae was telling the truth, nor could we have been sure of Nogrod's innocence. Much damage could have been done before the position was clarified.
So, I find myself rather wary of those who voted other than for Roa and, in particular, those who look to have been urging the village not to lynch her (despite this having also been the counsel of our departed Seer). I am particularly concerned over the parts that TGWBS and Mithalwen played in the affair, TGWBS more so because Mith's actions were possibly too bold, and therefore too risky, to have been those of a Faithful. TGWBS appears to have been far more subtle about it.
Finally, for now, I am curious as to what the case against me was yesterDay. As far as I can see, there were no reasons given, other than Roa's twisted analysis and Mithalwen's reference to my "quibble" (which others have noted and dwelt on far longer than I) and "hasty vote for Roa" (which I thought I had explained). Oh, and Gil's distaste for my lengthy posts.

Nogrod, despite referring frequently to your suspicions of me, you have never really explained this "Spm theory". As I said yesterDay, I was not prepared to respond to Roa's attack on me. But, I will happily answer any points brough up by those now present.

I plan on looking at the votes cast over the last two Days. Not sure whether I will be able to until (RL) tomorrow as its getting late here, although I may try to do Day 1 tonight at least. I also plan on trawling through Roa's analyses since, while Roa was clearly up to all sorts of tricks designed to confuse, confuddle and deceive, I still think that there might be something useful there now that we know her identity.
Happily, I hope to be much more active this Day, as (touch wood) work has eased off a bit.
