I'm getting an uneasy feeling about Izzy, and also seeing what appears
to be a link between her and... someone else. But we shall see.
I do have a history of pretty much always suspecting her, so I'll
have to do my best to be objective here:

Day One

#52
Banter, and this (I guess in response to Eomer's talk of wolves not
drawing attention to themselves on Day 1?)

Interesting, considering the direction things took later that Day.
Obviously absolute statements are going to occasionally prove
false in WW, but as a general rule, Day one lynches are often confused
innocents who blunder out of carelessness while the wolves sit back and
enjoy the show. Wolves love those kinds of Day Ones.
Then again, I've argued with people who have written off Day 1's as
useless, too, since that kind of apathy is unproductive. Still, that
doesn't seem to be what Izzy's doing here. It seems more like a
sly spreading around of potential guilt than a call to action.
I always tend to "hear" a bit of a smirk behind Izzy's posts, which
I tend to read as "evil", though. I could be wrong.

#58
Tries to get Sally to elaborate on her suspicions. Could really
be innocent or co-morphish equally easily, I think.

#59
Asking about deadline.

#74
Votes for BG for voting someone BG previously called "relatively
innocent". I find this vote way too... itchy-trigger-finger-ish. It seems
as though having an excuse to vote is more important to Izzy than finding the truth
at this point. Izzy could have asked about it - after all, as she herself points out toDay, people can think in their heads - I would assume she would include BG among the "people" who might do so, instead of jumping on her immediately like this.
Also noticed that Izzy doesn't yet bring up the "fabricated list" issue that she mentioned
toDay.

#79
Telling Lottie to refresh.

#82
Posts BG's list showing Lottie as "relatively innocent".

#89
Banter about pattern.

#92
After BG says she copied Lottie's list - points out she had to
have moved the name to "relatively innocent" from "most innocent".

Day Two:

#125
Says (in response to Shasta) that voting for BG didn't even have
to depend on comparisons to her last game, but simply that
she voted for someone she had called innocentish.

#135
Fairly sensible, if waffle-y, talk about the possibility of a Wilwamorph
voting for a Sallymorph on Day 1, plus some confusion about the narration.

#141
Thinks the Assassin and the Defender know each others' roles.

#164
Fairly defensive repsonse to Pitch's suspicions.

Actually innocents might, especially gifteds on Day 1 who lack any solid suspicions. But be that as it
may, the question is - does Izzy realize that? Is she saying this in good faith? I have
to wonder that if the idea of the list being "fabricated" was so important, she would
probably have mentioned it yesterDay at some point.

Well, at least she's honest. May as well just say "I don't really care whether I vote for a baddie or not,
just as long as I get my vote in", eh, Izzy? Not an innocentish attitude in my book at all.

Claims she thought BG's vote may have also been a seer hint. I'm with Pitch on this - I don't buy it, plus, if she thought this, then she did the last thing an innocent should have done in jumping in with a vote for BG immediately!
This comment could even be a bit of morphish honesty. Sometimes that is a good strategy when evil - makes one's arguments more solid - but in this case, it's incriminating whether
true or false.

I find the repetition of the "didn't vote because of the previous game" a little odd.
There's plenty of reason to question Izzy's vote, regardless of that, and what she's doing kind of reminds me of the times I've been a wolf accused of doing something I actually didn't - focusing heavily on the part of the suspicions that don't apply while hoping the true guilt
is overlooked.

Yeah, Izzy's pretty suspicious, indeed. I don't see anyone more
suspicious around, so:

++Izzy
