Brinn (toDay):
1 - does say she's not going to be around much which immediately makes me want to give her the benefit of the doubt toDay, if only because it's really bad manners to attack someone when they have no chance of defending themselves. Because I too am suspicious of Gwath I see where her comments are coming from. But, of course, having seen the way things were looking for him yesterDay a wolf could easily jump on that likely bandwagon.

2 - wants a third Rep for balance. Actually a very good idea in case we do end up with the wolf and an innocent as Reps. Pokes at the Gil thing.

3 - votes me, putting me in power. Now, with Lommy and her 'yeah go for Gwath' it makes me think her innocent because that's just so overtly bloodthirsty I don't think she's a wolf, Brinn's agreement is much more understated and somehow therefore more suspicious.

Gwath (toDay):
1 - sort of a defense, saying that he's only suspected because everyone suspects him. Don't you love circular reasoning? But seriously I can see what he means - except that everyone has different reasons for suspecting him and so it isn't really a kind of mass hysteria. His defense to Brinn's question about why he thought there would be a toMorrow is interesting. 'I didn't know' he says, yet if you read the post Brinn quotes there are no 'if there's a toMorrow' ideas. It is too sure.

2 - defends-ish Lommy, good point. Says he won't vote for Greenie as he's suspicious of her and will look at her later. Has been saying he'll look at people later a fair bit, as I recall the last time I looked through his posts he hadn't done many of the 'look-ats' he said he would. He does have limited time though.

3 - expresses general annoyance but with incorrect complaints. Says there are only general feelings against him, from me at least that's not the case. Says there are no questions for him to answer. Again, from me and definitely Brinn there were.

4 - I very much like that he replied to the questions I put to him. Some of the replies make me think him less suspicious - his one about Boro for example, because upon consulting my memory he is correct. What I don't like is the way he causally drops known innocents into the mix, saying that phantom had the opposite opinion about Nog. It isn't necessary. The Day 1 stuff - I mean the thing is that basically all the Reps except for Nog and Legate basically said he was under the radar completely and that they had no opinion on him. Nog had him down as 'could be a wolf, could not be' - and had Shasta and phantom down with the same comment. Says Legate has suddenly become very suspicious (this is Nog not Gwath) but then goes and vote Gwath who only has a 'maybe/maybe not' comment rather than a reason like morm did. So far I as I can see not one of the other Reps, apart from Legate for a little while, even considered voting Gwath - which makes Nog's a very safe wolf on wolf vote if that's the case.

5 - had said that he might vote Lommy or Brinn. Then said he'd thought of voting Lommy or Rune. Ends up voting Nerwen. I'm intrigued about where the Nerwen vote came from considering he hadn't even mentioned her until then.

Aaand that's it. And I'm still unsure. I suspect both Gwath and Brinn but to differing degrees. The relationship Gwath had with Nog really does make me suspicious of him. I do have more 'evidence' for thinking Gwath a wolf than I do Brinn. I also don't really want to vote until either/both of them have a chance to defend themselves but nor can I hold off on my vote when I'm already running behind schedule. I'll think for a few minutes and then I'll have to make a decision.

Oh and to answer Nerwen - no, I understood what you were trying to do with sally, to make her talk. I think the problem was that everything you said to her was tinged with 'look I know you're a wolf, let's see how you react to that' rather than 'I'm a bit suspicious of you, can you give me a good defense'. I'm not saying that you did that deliberately, merely that it came across that way. Even reading it through when it wasn't directed at me I found it quite aggressive.

As regards Gil - I say leave him be. If he is the last wolf ... well, then the game's been a sham to be honest.
