The votes were tied at the time you voted for Lalaith--did you honestly think it through and decide that lynching two people whom you believed to be innocent was better than choosing between them?
Lhuna's reluctance to take sides has worried me too.
Scenario 1: Lhuna is a wolf/lover who wants as much innocents to die as possible.
Scenario 2: Lhuna is a wolf/lover and doesn't want to take sides because tgwbs is her lover/fellow wolf and she doesn't want to be connected to him in any possible way.
Scenario 3: Lhuna is an ordo who didn't ponder her vote so much. (According to my WW-experience, gifteds and wolves are the most careful players; they would maybe think again before getting into the suspicious situation Lhuna got herself into.)
Scenario 4: Something my limited mind can't think about just now.

Edit: xposting again; this time with Eomer and Lalaith

That's what I figured. Among a few other possibilties.

Agreed. Some of his in-character ramblings from yesterday could look like Seer hints. And he was a very formidable, intelligent opponent. Both good reasons for the wolves to attack him.

So I've glanced through everything once in a desparate effort to almost catch up and am working on a more detailed read (up to page 5 ).

Among those of us remaining:

Probable innocent:
the guy who be short - yes, he's being very, very strange. But it's classic Nilpesque weirdness. When he's not being suicidal or declaring himself a wolf, he's actually made a number of good points, particularly with regard to the voting record from yesterday.
littlemanpoet - has not done anything particularly lupine. Voted for Eomer yesterday, a move I'd disagree with (see below), but one that's understandable.
Eomer - interesting plan yesterday. Seems genuinely analytic and not playing both sides the way a faux-helpful wolf would. I think.
spawn - similar reasoning to Eomer.
tar-a - same as above.
Formendacil - again. Ditto.

I'm off to take a good look at Farael, Kath and Glirdan.
