So, looking back through the thread...
Rikae's first post of the game basically takes for granted that
Agan's a wolf ("she's either a wolf, or the wolves are insane.") Kitanna posts a bit in apparent support of an "
Agan was framed!" theory. Rikae posts in opposition to that.
Lottie then pulls out the first big hammer in post #77:

It was Day 1, she hadn't had time to be heavily suspicious of anyone, and the wolves could have just said, "oh, she was killed for being the Seer, not for suspecting any of us."
I guess maybe the wolves knew we'd suspect her for not having been killed, and hoped we'd lynch her today. But that seems risky - what if she'd dreamed of a wolf? It's a bold play, and one I'm not sure we could reasonably attribute to the wolves.
Nimrodel is the only other gifted left, right? So, Agan says that she happened to dream of her, and then says she won't reveal who it is without her permission. Which, fair enough, I guess, but that's also the most convenient excuse to not have to be right about dreams currently possible in this game. I'm not convinced.
Note: If Agan's reveal is fake, I don't think we necessarily need a counter-reveal by the real Galadriel. If you wouldn't normally have revealed toDay, don't worry about having to debunk Agan. We'll find out soon enough whether or not she's lying, whether that means we disbelieve her and lynch her (which, I would actually wait another Day, just to be on the safe side) or, if she is actually the real Seer, I can't believe the wolves would risk leaving her alive another Night.

I can't really disagree with the points here; they're fairly commonsensical. To me, though, this post has a certain surety to it - like
Rikae,
Lottie seems supremely confident of
Agan's guilt. Which is fair enough, I suppose, but I've always been the type of player to at least consider both sides; unless you're the MC, you really can't take anything at 100% face value. There are situations that are obvious, sure - but at this point in time, I'd say the
AganSeer situation deserves at
least a cursory examination.
It's also interesting to me that
Lottie doesn't want to actually lynch
Agan today. That seems like a valid precaution... if you think there's a possibility
Agan really is the Seer. That doesn't seem to be the case here, though, which makes me wonder if
Lottie doesn't just want to be on record as opposing
Agan in the event of
Agan's eventual death.
Rikae also mentions that she's not suggesting we lynch
Agan today. It's also interesting to note that
Rikae hasn't (at this point) really given any consideration to the possibility that
Agan might be telling the truth. She just seems more matter-of-fact about it than
Lottie does.
-------------------------
So, by the start of page 3, we have
Lottie and
Rikae firmly in the anti-
Agan camp and
Kitanna in the "maybe she's being framed" camp.
Post #83 by
Lottie appears to be an escalation of what she's already said; she's even more convinced
Agan is a wolf, but also even more against lynching her today, "just in case". That seems rather counterintuitive to me - it also seems like the kind of distancing a wolf would do once she sees the suspicion train start to pick up on a packmate.
Another quote by
Lottie (this is turning out to be quite the anti-
Lottie post, isn't it?)

If Agan is a wolf, I would probably say that Rikae is probably not her packmate.

This looks rather familiar...
Farael makes his debut in #91, also doesn't trust
Agan (with bullet points!) and also doesn't want to lynch her today. However, while most of his bullet points are written from the point of view that
Agan is a lying wolf, there's this one that confuses me -

I mean, if I were the Seer and I was almost sure I'd be dead soon (either by false lynch or nightkill) I'd probably tell what I knew. I'd feel pretty silly if the person I dreamt innocent was lynched after I died, for instance. In any case, what confuses me here is that most of
Farael's post appears to be written from the point of view that he doesn't trust
Agan, but this point appears to be written to be true if
Agan is the Seer?
I may just be misreading, or miscomprehending, or something. It's 1:30 am. If you could clarify,
Farael, that'd be good.
Post #94,
Sally shows up, immediately decides that
Agan is lying. As of right now, literally
Agan' only possible supporter is
Kitanna (at least, of those who have posted.)
Oh!
Farael does clarify what he meant a bit in post #95, with the Nimrodel-as-protector theory. I'll grant that it seems rather far-fetched, but given that there's no real way to say definitively that it's
not the case, I think it deserves at least a bit of thought.
Post #99,
Lottie again. She's been looking at
Kitanna and I, and ends up deciding to vote for me based on
Kitanna supporting
Agan earlier in the day. So, what I'm getting from this is... if you support
Agan, you're not suspicious, but as per what
Lottie said previously, if you're skeptical of
Agan's claim (cf. everyone else who's posted thus far), you're not really suspicious either?
And that's me caught up.
