Okay, I am now around, unfortunately I am afraid that my participation will once again be unluckily diminished due to unforseen RL way of things. I think I won't be around for most of the Day, but I want to show up at least surely closer to the end of the Day (several hours before DL) and re-read at least generally and vote and all. This is just a random occurance, I should be more active later on.

Izzy's death is sort of explainable, she was a Lottie-voter, aside from that, many people seemed to trust her. Lottie's wolvery is not such a big surprise either, and now if you ask me, I think that makes sally rather innocent. I'd like to take a better look at the way the Lottie-voters voted, but generally I think it might be a good indication of the peoples' innocence. It would be interesting to know how many Wolves might've been among the Representatives yesterDay.

As for phantom (tried to avoid that topic as long as I could, but alas! ), with all the weird stuff, I find him more likely to be a mad bold ordinary person than anything else. Like with the yesterDay's stuff, he is bringing very much attention to himself, which would not do too well for a Wolf either. Although, on the other hand, I'd like to look at the timing of his Seer reveal - because now it had occured to me that if he was a Wolf, acting boldly, and then suddenly one of his teammates was about to be lynched, his boldness suddenly meant another possible threat to the WWs' team, so maybe he could try even more ridiculous move to save his skin by revealing as a Seer? If you know what I mean. But I think that would make more sense only if he revealed after it was clear that Lottie goes. Anyway, if it was not, I am more inclined to think him an innocent.

You really seemed to agonize over it in an odd way, as if you didn't want to make the choice or something. In 109 for instance it looks like you're setting up to later let your voting choice be made by others basically, and in 147/152 that is what in fact happens, yes? Basically in the end, your vote was the logical and only choice rather than your choice, and there's something dodgy about that. Am I off here?
Not sure if I get exactly what you mean by "agonizing", but basically, it was like this: I wanted to vote somebody of the people I listed who had already one vote, or then Foley. The problem was that she had no vote, and I did not want to cast a vote for her if nobody else voted her. I was waiting and asking for a response several times, it was late and I was rather tired and at the same time doing still other things before I go to sleep, so once in a while I just checked if somebody nodded to my idea. As nobody did for a long time, then I decided to go with Nerwen, and by that time, it turned out that anyway of the people I wanted to vote she basically remained like that. Yes, it was sort of relieving that the path was completely clearly shown by that, but I said earlier, I would've voted her probably anyway.

Not much time to post now anymore... might be that I will get a chance to pop in still early during the Day (or at least read, if not post, so that I can think of things), but not sure. Sorry for the now limited participation - like I said, will be back before the end of the Day, and then it should be normal again.

EDIT: x-ed since last phantom
