Reading through the thread in its entirety took a lot longer than I thought it would. Sigh. There went my Sunday.
Anyway.
What I decided to do was look again at the people I was most uneasy about yesterday - Durelin, followed by Mith, guy and Saucie. I wanted to analyse more deeply where my original uneasiness about these people came from, and if it was justified. Also, to look at the rest of the village and see if I'd missed something. What follows is a bit sketchy, because I find that my notes are even more illegible than usual.
First thing. I'm sorry to return to cold vomit, as it were, but this business of Mith's first post.... Now, this wasn't actually the source of my uneasiness about Mith herself, at all. In fact, I quite understand why she was annoyed about the ensuing fuss. I know I was partly to blame, but at that time there was nothing else to talk about (we were the first 2 posters) and my comment was really just a "yes, but..." I was surprised that it escalated the way it did and I now note that the two who got most aggressively on her case were tgwbs and Durelin.
That bothers me. It's one of the things that makes me think there is a connection between those two, somehow.
Second thing about Guy - his inversion theory, re Roa's opinions. That is too crass for someone as clever as he is.
Durelin - when she wonders if the wolves "were that desperate to kill Rikae for some reason." Well, wolves are always desperate to kill the Seer. Why should she think these wolves would be more desperate? It's odd.
Now to Saucie. My uneasiness about him, I've realised, is that I get a constant feeling from his posts that he's trying to stitch people up rather than genuinely analyse to discover the truth, as a smart innocent should. There was the business of suspecting people who had not voted for Roa, and then suddenly suspecting people who did, even more.
And then his top suspects always seem to be innocents. On the first day it was Rikae and Noggie, then on the second (or third?) day he was "fairly sure" Rune and Brinniel were faithful, now his top suspects are myself and Lommy. I know I'm innocent - I don't know of course about Lommy but I strongly suspect her of being innocent.
Oh and Saucie, please, this is just plain insulting:

am certain that either Lalaith or Lommy is a Faithful and, since they have both been defending each other every so often, I wonder whether they both might be

Do you really think I would be such a crass Faithful as that?
And finally Mith- well, given that my deep uneasiness about guy and Durelin is partly down to them fussing about Mith's first post then I conclude that it's unlikely she could be a faithful alongside those two. I'm still worried about her but because I'm more uneasy about tgwbs and Durelin, I'm going to put her a bit further down the suspect list.
The rest of the village:
Hookbill - reading over his posts I've realised just how much he keeps apologising. I remember him as a wolf in WWIV and he was much the same, however this was his only other sortie into the game, so, maybe it's just his general style. I'm more uneasy about him than I was, however.
Legate - Conversely, I feel more easy about him having read his posts over. He is not quite as suave as I initially thought, and he seems to be trying hard to be helpful.
Kath I'm now feeling 50/50 torn about. Post 309 feels innocent to me - I like the fact she's trying to think outside the box on how to utilise innocents but 376 - her analysis of various players - seems to contain a few misreadings and misunderstandings which might be deliberate.
Kitanna - I still have very little idea.
Manwe - his temper tantrum leads me to think he might be innocent.
I still find Gil and Lommy the most innocent-seeming villagers, for the reasons I stated yesterday.
Oh and on a final note, I'd just like to defend the voting tactics that Guy and Durelin complained about. Personally, I am generally more confident in my hunches about who is innocent than my hunches about who is a wolf, so I often vote to save rather than to lynch. Eg, in this game I felt Garin and Rune were innocent so I voted for an alternative I was less sure about. On the other hand, if you are a player who is better at wolf-spotting, you will be voting to lynch. But we can debate about the benefits of these tactics further once the game is over....
