That makes me think back to the WW game I modded when something similar happened. Nerwen had to drop out for RL reasons, but I think the Night before she contacted me she informed the wolves of the situation and the next Day the wolves (especially Boro) pushed for her lynching, but were unsuccessful. It's possible something like that happened here, though I also don't think it had to be just for RL reasons that a wolf-on-wolf suspicion (and possible lynching) could've been made.

That's what I initially thought about her reaction as well, but I don't want to take it too much into account as to possible innocence since it could be just a very good bluff.

I find this statement rather odd. Earlier toDay you kept saying, "What if he is the wolf?" But now that we're actually considering lynching Gil, you suddenly turn around and say, "What if he isn't the wolf?" Why the sudden change?

Because first I was worried that everybody was just dismissing him. Then everybody decided to lynch him, and yeah, I worried about that too. Guess I'm a chronic worrier.

Nerwen the questions you asked about Gil were exactly what I was worrying about when Lommy first mentioned it. Try thinking it through either in your head or on screen, it seemed to help for me. For me it's basically a choice between ending the game with a chance of winning or ending the game without one. If we leave Gil alive and he either turns out to be the wolf or the wolf leaves him alive at Night then on our final Day we're going to end up in a situation where we have no votes and the game ends with a whimper and we lose. If we lynch him toDay then at least the end of the game will be interesting and we can have more say in it.

That's my reasoning behind it anyway.

Yes, I get the point. It just seems a weird way to lynch.

Is no one besides me and Brinn (and maybe Kath, kind of) doing anything productive toDay? It's useless to play more time if we can't use it...

So, what people have been doing this far toDay

Brinniel - lynch speculating, providing quotes, analysing, main suspect atm: Nerwen
Gil-Galad - nothing
Greenie - (all talk just sort of general talk), main suspect atm: Brinn
Lommy - lynch speculating and rereading, main suspect atm: Nerwen
Kath - lynch speculating, main suspect atm: Brinn
Nerwen - mainly commenting with one-liners or questioning others' opinions, no main suspect

Based on this, Greenie and Nerwen seem either suspiciously uninvolved (the wolf would not need to find out stuff or get lynch things solved thoroughly with others) or busy.

Nerwen looks a bit fishy for voicing no suspicions. As if she was ready to join any bandwagon to save her own skin.

On the other hand, we can't clear the others because of having a main suspect. It's easy to pick one if you're not threatened yourself, or if there are two people equally suspected (this time, Brinn and Nerwen, it seems). Actually, I wonder why Nerwen just hasn't joined the "lynch Brinn" camp... Maybe because she's innocent after all?

Well it looks like my little summary was not of much assistance... it really didn't affect my opinions on people or anything, at most made me a tiny bit more suspicious of Greenie. Let's hope I cross-post with someone...
