Very interesting, as I would absolutely agree with Comrade Mac's post - I can subscribe it. The good progressive approach of our young brainpower indeed does its work! Very true; Comrade Lommy was somewhat suspicious already yesterday and now, given the kill that was made, I'd indeed think this might point to her. Also Comrade Brinniel could be, with some of her behaviour, a possible servant of the reactionary powers, though here I am a little less convinced than in Comrade Lommy's case. Comrade Nogrod has been quite reasonable this far, and unless we have very strange pair of henchmen here, I don't find it likely that he will be behind this nightly kill.

I could also add that one of the reasons to choose our valiant, but cruelly slain Comrade Menel could have been that he did not vote at all. Thus, he would not raise any suspicion (if he voted for a henchman - though this was not technically possible, unless Comrade xyzzy was a henchman, but even then I doubt any of us would consider that being a reason, as Comrade xyzzy has not appeared at all), and also he could not be attacked today based on how he voted yesterday.

I really hope Comrade Xyzzy is not one of the henchmen, since then it would look really bad for us. Maybe under these circumstances the "two day no-show" rule could be of help, though, as we know, our company has very far to being большая, quite the opposite - there's too few of us and every person counts. On the other hand, getting rid of a lurking threat in the form of Comrade Xyzzy would be a good idea. But definitely (at least if he does not show): no lynching, only if we really were not sure.

I could subscribe even this, also after Comrade Volo's posts today. Given how the votes went, there is the interesting possibility that if he and Comrade Lommy were the henchmen, then Comrade Volo's words:

I'm almost certain that there is at least one baddie hiding behind the Shasta-voters.
could be something far more sinister than it seems. But this is only a possibility and speculation, and we, Comrades, have to rely on stronger evidence. Because, as it was noted before, the numbers do not favour us much and there are still two henchmen and one villain among us...

So, what do you others, Comrades, have to say?
