I was hoping to have at least one other brain than just mine reviewing the evidence, if for no other reason to ensure nothing was overlooked. However, having other ideas from the evidence would also be good. Believe me, stifling ideas was the least of my intents.

Why are you so critical of others offering suggestions?

Kuru, Kuru, Kuru. Your idea was not what I thought was bad; it was the 'all honest souls' part that caught my attention. As for you going at it alone, TGWBS had already stated his intent to review Valier, as he has now done, so I thought you two were enough to go on her. Although you are a pair, so maybe I'm wrong.

Also, I am thinking I will vote Naria. Others are suspicious of her, but I hadn't given her much thought until she turned up on my list yesterday after I analyzed voting. She was also a part of the Nilp bandwagon; then she turns up twice in my pairs (although not really her fault). Regardless of what I do end up deciding about my pairs, she is currently my top suspect and will likely get my vote. That is, unless something important is made known.

Now, as for my pairs.

Naria-Cailín
I am pretty much willing to take this pair out. Cailín has already voted for Naria. Bold move this early in the Day, especially when Naria was second yesterday (although with just two votes).

Naria-Lhuna
I've already stated my suspicion of Naria, and Lhuna has been brought up many times in these debates. Personally, I found Lhuna's first Day vote rather odd, as well as her sudden switch away from wanting to grant Nilpaurion's death wish. They did both vote for Nilp on Day 1, which, to me, points to them not both being wolves. Lhuna's vote for Naria yesterday was also pretty early, so that detracts from them being a pair.

Kuru-TGWBS
This is probably the most dangerous pair of the three. I was very suspicious with Guy's sudden attack on Kuru yesterday. It made a little sense, but came out of nowhere and seems to have vanished since. I am happy to finally see him talking though. Kuru keeps going back and forth in my mind. Some of the things he says strike me as strange, but then not so much the second time. His responses have seemed a little over-defensive also.


Some quick thoughts on others.

Nilp said look at Alcarillo. I doubt he's a wolf. He voted Garin early on Day one, when anything could happen. Not a great time to push a fellow wolf in the direction of the gallows.

Farael, I feel pretty close to the same about. He voted early for Garin the Day he died. He could have easily voted for another and hoped for the best. The same goes for Rune, who was the second to vote for Garin, which also tied him for the lead.

Not really, I was just saying that I don't think we should focus completely on only what she said. And the rest is just a theory I've come up with, if you don't agree with it, that's fine. It's kind of a stretch anyway (which is why I am not voting by that theory alone).
