Well, a bit more to get my teeth into now. So, here goes ...
Rikae – Would undoubtedly have been either a Wolf or the Seer, were she not dead.
Volo – First post mere banter. Has recently returned to note a few suspicions. But nothing solid.
Legate of Amon Lanc – Much interaction with Ang and Mith at the beginning, but little substance (despite his protestations to the contrary). Exhorted everyone to talk (or everyone then present, as he later claimed) and then got rather defensive in response to a mild rebuke from Ang. More substance in his latest post, although I find it strange that he should suspect Ang for being ‘in-character’ for too long, given his own behaviour in this regard. His comments about me are, of course, pure nonsense and look to be somewhat retaliatory in nature.
Macalaure – Laid into the continuing banterers with vigour, subsequently claiming that he was attempting to stir things up (difficult to see what this was designed to achieve, if so). Accused Rune of being defensive, then got rather defensive himself when challenged on his stance against bantering.
Boromir88 – Voted for himself (effectively wasting his first vote, seemingly in the cause of character development), then retracted to vote for Ang, for no other reason than the latter was being too chirpy. Rather erratic behaviour but, as others have noted, that can be his way.
Mithalwen – Has appeared to glide serenely through the proceedings thus far, and has done little to raise suspicion. This could be because she is innocent or it could be because she wants to give that impression. Did raise a few substantive points ‘in character’, as it were. Linked with Ang, albeit through their choice of roles.
Shastanis Althreduin – Nought but banter.
Durelin – Nought, full stop.
Xyzzy – Again, nought but banter.
Brinniel – First post banter. Her recent post focussed on Sixth and Legate (ie those currently topping the ‘most discussed’ chart) .
Thinlómien – One of the more substantive contributors. Can’t really fault her vote for Sixth, given my own suspicion of him. Nothing to raise any alarms with me so far.
The Sixth Wizard – Jumped on my flippant accusation of Ang, although he claims to have suspected him independently. Hasn’t really explained his vote, save by reference to Ang being one of the more talkative of those present. But one or two others have been equally talkative, so why Ang in particular?
Anguirel – Some substance amidst the opening flim-flammery. Mild skirmish with Legate, both in-character and in relation to Legate’s request for discussion. The only thing that I thought slightly odd was his early suggestion that the Wolves might look to distance themselves from each other. Well, not if that’s what people are looking for, they won’t. Could be a comment designed to conceal his allegiances, should he later prove malign. His recent comments on his likely vote look genuine enough.
Kath – Not sure what to make of her mysterious ‘issue’ that she decided not to raise and now claims to have changed her mind about. Why mention it at all in the first place? Her recent analysis looks pretty solid, though, with some good points raised, although I'm not sure where she got the idea that I raised the possibility of Lovers.
Gil-Galad – He came. He posted. He said he didn’t like Day 1s. And that’s about it. Where the expansive Gil of recent times?
Aganzir – Like Volo, first post was mere banter, followed up recently with a few thoughts. Nothing to raise my concerns.
Rune – Bit of banter. Other than that, his main contribution has been to challenge Mac’s criticism of the banterers.
Diamond18 – Early vote for Gil could have been an attempt to start a bandwagon. But she appears to have been obliged to vote early, and there was little to go on at that stage.
Voting thus far:
Diamond: ++Gil-Galad (Gil-1)
Boromir: ++Boromir (Gil-1, Boro-1)
Boromir: --Boromir, ++Anguirel (Gil-1, Anguirel-1)
SpM: ++Sixth (Gil-1, Anguirel-1, Sixth-1)
Sixth: ++Anguirel (Gil-1, Anguirel-2, Sixth-1)
Lommy: ++Sixth (Gil-1, Anguirel-2, Sixth-2)
Kath: ++Rune (Gil-1, Anguirel-2, Sixth-2, Rune-1)
Ang: ++Volo (Gil-1, Anguirel-2, Sixth-2, Rune-1, Volo-1)
I must conclude that, purely on the basis of my own analysis, Legate is looking rather suspicious. That said, I can certainly appreciate the possibility that he is an over-thinking innocent (having fallen into that trap myself on more than one occasion). His recent post looks to draw much firmer conclusions that I would expect from a Wolf on Day 1. And I too am wary of the suspicion gathering around him, albeit witout a vote thus far.
So I'll leave my vote for Sixer to stand for now. I'm not sure where this idea that he is inexperienced is coming from? Isn't he a veteran of something like three games now?
Edit: Crossed with Volo, as is often the way with villager-by-villager analyses.
