WWJ XII: "Oh the tangled web we weave..."

[Thinlómien]

Rikae seems a bit less suspicious in my opinion after her post; it has a general innocent feel. (Clearing up: Yes, I still think her somewhat suspicious.) There are a few things she says I disagree with/ consider strange:

Because if I don't point it out, someone else will . . .

I'm not sure if this is a very good argument. You can't escape suspicion and accusations by suspecting yourself, if that was your intent.

But in other villages, there has frequently been an 'alpha wolf' type who did take a leadership role, which allowed him/her to direct votes and appear knowledgable, helpful, indispensible...while the other two kept a low profile.

That is true, but we shouldn't count on that. Remember that it's easy for the baddies to play on our expectations of their behaviour. Much also depends on what kind of personalities the baddies are. If, for example, Nogrod, Boro and Mac were baddies, I doubt we'd have only one "alpha wolf" and the number of the "slip-under-the-radars" would consequently be much smaller...

Which will expose the things. Bandwagons are easy to hide in!

Yes, they are, but so are single votes. According to my experiences, bandwagoners tend to be analysed the most, especially if they lynch a wolf. One single vote can be seen only as a whim or differing opinion and then ignored.

PS. If you have not yet caught it, I use three dots with spaces between them, like this . . . to present that I have taken a passage out from a quotation.
