Day One

#27 IC post, with some complaining about the lack of a “sense of urgency”.

Then again, Encai finds him helpful, so maybe I'm too eager to find something suspicious in what little has been posted so far.

This struck me as weirdly wishy-washy at the time and now even more so.

#38 Asking for clarification on the Targ, then does his fake Targ reveal.

#40 reacts to Volo's joke, says no one but a cobbler would false reveal as a Targ who survived a kill.

#70 Infamous “numbers may be on your side” to skip.
Casts mild suspicion at Wilwa for her focus on the lovers, and this about Kitanna:

Wishy-washy suspicion on Lommy's “worth keeping in mind” (about bear-lion alliances):

At the time, I thought Lommy's post looked questionable myself, and wondered why Mac was suspecting and excusing it in one breath.
This in response to Inzil's “Come now, sir. It's difficult enough to suppress my natural desire to vote for you. “.

That is kind of odd, seems a little like an exaggerated response.

#80 Responds to me about the bear, arguing against going after him.

#92 Continues defending his “going after the bear is fishy” stuff, this time to Wilwa.

#96 List post:

New to the game / haven't played with before (as far as I'm aware), so vote-exempt for now:
Loslote, Wyth, Copper (not too concerned about either of them at this point)

Seem innocent at the moment:
Encai (feels good)
Wilwa (been disagreeing with her, but she sounds innocent)
Rikae (playful Rikae is ordo-Rikae, or so I'd like to think)
Volo (feels good, too)
Gil (same)

No clue either way, really:
Lommy Greenhands (mostly fine, but just too much bear-talk overall)
Nerwen (does seem alright, but only a fool trusts Nerwen)
Galadriel (no real feeling either way)
Eomer (same here)
Nogrod (hasn't said enough yet)
Sally (hasn't said much either)
Skip (said plenty, but I don't know what to do with him)

Somewhat fishy:
Inzil (seems nervous)
Kitanna (really just this one line I pointed out earlier, very flimsy suspicion)
Boro (something seems off, can't put my finger on it)

Very fishy:
nobody

Totally fishy:
nobody

A lot of gut feeling in this list, and nobody sticks out as truly deserving of a vote. Day One at its best.
Mostly a lot of filler and vague stuff. There could easily be a lion in the fishy category, or among all the “hasn't said enough/no feeling, feels good” stuff. I can't see him outright calling his suspicion for a fellow Lannister “very flimsy”, so I feel better about Kitanna.

On second thought, I think Inzil looks quite innocent. I will ignore him for now.
and “What's wrong with bears?” to Wilwa.

This comes after Eomer saying “You just made a big mistake, pal. “ and he gives no reason for “feeling better” about him, and just lumps him in with Gal.

#120 Complains mildly about Gal's vote for him.

#131 Defends “your side”. Claims not to like Skip wagon.

#138 Votes for Inzil. “Don't lynch me, ok.” With a smiley. This gives me the feeling at one or both of the other lions hasn't voted yet, or at least, is still around to argue. Gil, Lommy, Greenie, Nog, Volo and Eomer voted after Mac. Greenie and Nog voted for Mac late in the day, bringing him to 3 and 4 votes vs. the 5 Skip already had.
Lommy's vote for Wilwa both avoids the Skip wagon and avoids giving Mac his third vote. She could have given Inzil a third vote at that point, too. Not liking the options as an innocent is legit, but the placement makes it look somewhat suspect.

Day Two

#175
Gloats (Seer down in Night 2? Wow.)
“Who might Wilwa have dreamt of” - confident that won't help us? That trail kind of pointed to him, but as a bear.

Continues explaining “your side”.

Would fit nicely if Greenie or Nog is a lion!

#179
Points out Wilwa's list of people she feels good about as having a possible innocent dream. (Boro, me, Kit, Nerwen). Since people have been talking about him as the seer dream, a self-defense move, whatever else it may be.

“If the bear killed her actually thinking Wilwa was the seer, then he noticed something I didn't. “


This should have been a tip-off.

Claims the lovers wanted to kill someone who drew attention to their role.



Aaaand... I have to go and don't have time to finish this. I also wanted to look at other people's interactions with/words about Mac, but I definitely won't have time for that. People, let's not forget that the lion we already caught is probably our best lead.

There's a small chance I won't make it back before deadline, but I really don't want to vote this early.
