I'm not seeing anything suspicious about
Greenie, maybe it's my bias, but I kind of can put myself in her shoes right now. I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't have any idea who I'm going to vote for, and I still have a while, as I can probably be around at the deadline. Based on
Greenie's location, she can't and it may seem like she's grasping at straws, but I'd imagine if you don't know what to think, or who to vote for, and you are hard pressed for time, than that's the kind of suspicious you'll get.
Not all of us are gifted with the "time" to write out clear and concise suspiciouns against people. I'm not suspicious of
Nogrod, but
Greenie looks very honest right now and I don't see the deal.

Nope, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the wolves love to gloat with that kind of moral highground afterwards when others vote innocents: "You fools voted for someone whom I saw so clearly was an innocent - or are you fools in the first place? Maybe you're baddies with hidden knowledge?" The manouver tries to make them look reasonable and thoughtful & getting innocents right (eg. they are good to have around) etc... I've seen that too often to believe anyone saying that kind of stuff.

I don't think it's so much someone apologizing for there vote before hand, going back to what I said earlier, I don't see the big deal about
Nienna's creative way of saying "I could be wrong."
I wonder if I'm just seeing something that's not there, but I think
Form's looks like it doesn't fit.

So this leaves me with the following: Brinn either saw something genuinely suspicious in Nienna--which I must admit I don't see at all--or else you had a different reason for killing her? A wolf saving a cobbler? A cobbler saving a wolf?

It reads as a "by the way," which makes it look like it was added into the statement after the fact. I am not saying
Form went back and editted what he originally wrote (there is no "edit" for the post), but I am saying I imagine wolves have to be pretty careful about what they say, and think about what they are saying all the time. This almost looks like it's something
Form felt would be a good manuever to add the statement in after the fact, to make him look like he "knew better." Because it does read like a "by the way, I don't see why everyone was suspicious of
Nienna yesterday."
Where if you look at
Nienna's the reason I didn't understand your point about the
..."I reserve the right to be utterly wrong" (paraphrasing - should be close enough), is because it fits with the flow of the post. She lays out her reasons against
Nogrod and at the end definitely says "I'm not sure."
This might be..."grasping at straws," but I will say I've read a lot of books and historical documents. I find it fascinating to read them and see what was the written "originally" and then seeing the editting done afterwards, to add in something extra, or maybe to clear up something. The original Declaration of Independence, I think people must get a hold of (I should say a copy of the original) because there are spaces and indications of what words should be emphasized and where people should take their breaths/pauses when reading it. Even funnier, Family Guy makes a point of this with the "Right to bear arms," as the framers discuss in the 'editting' process whether that was "clear enough."
I assume wolves are careful and in ways edit what they say. I don't mean directly go back and edit their posts afterwards, but in the process of writing think about what they're saying and are careful about what they add or don't add.
Formendacil's "moral high ground" as Nogrod calls it, doesn't fit - it's like an
"I should add this to make myself look better."
I'm probably making much to do about nothing, because I'm really not all that suspicious of Formendacil, but the part in question is out of place.
This x'ed with
Nogrod and
