Well, Nogrod, that is indeed a revealing analysis.

Of, course, this praise is brought to you by a wolf trying to suck up to the guy who plans to lynch him*, but still, I can see what that means. Anyone who casts that much suspicion on known innocents is worth looking at.

Also, note the way she "suspects" Mac early on:

Yes, but let's not allow that to get twisted into, "well, hey, it doesn't matter who we lynch". I suspect the wolves may try that.
Notice that this is not phrased as a suspicion! It's more of a "Stop behaving like a wolf!" warning. I've known wolves to caution their fellow pack members this way before.

The no-vote on Day 1 is interesting in light of the pattern I mentioned earlier, as it definitely gets her out of the bandwagons.

Also, this would suggest that Nogrod be taken off my suspicious list for suggesting her. However I'm not doing that unless Nerwen is found guilty.

Menel, most of what you are calling "casting suspicion" was simply me putting the case for and against people. Nogrod is quoting me out of context and twisting my words. (And he's the one who first cast suspicion on GwathI defended him.)

It may look that way, but I was actually trying to caution the village.

Okay, apparently my plans for tomorrow have been rescheduled for Sunday, so I will be able to be around longer than expected.

Mac - You caught me being sloppy twice. I didn't explain my whole 'buddying up' thing very well, and really that's a pretty bad name for it. Part of what I thought was so odd was how back and forth Rikae was about you, either defending you and jumping on Little Green's vote against you, or calling you a wolf. Huh, I guess looking back it was more Rikae who made you two seem odd in that way than you.

Second thing - I agree with you on A Little Green as really skating by very neatly, and while I agree the placement of her vote for you should be considered, I don't think that should be what makes her suddenly a top suspect.

You're still largely interested in what happens to you...I guess you have been getting a lot of crap this game, but...

Rikae has voted. For Mac. Sooo...what happened to A Little Green?

I really don't know why you bothered quoting Nerwen's initial in-character banter in your analysis, Nogrod. Straw-clutching a bit? Makes a good bit of it seem almost contrived... But I am glad someone's looking at Nerwen seriously.

Personally, I'm focusing my energy on Rikae and A Little Green. Actually, putting their names together almost seems to click a little...their contact has been very limited and rather indirect, largely over Mac...oh, I'm pulling things out of my head, which I do not trust - I need to go back and look. Unfortunately my eyes are starting to burn staring at the comp screen so that will have to be later...

Edit: Crossed with Rikae
