Okay, I'm off to do my analysis of Lari's posts now. Let's all take note that Mira is actually doing semi-decent contributions. Keep that in mind while I'm at work tomorrow afternoon.
Very true. And you're doing a really great job, Mira. Like doing what I should be doing since I have so much time this weekend!

Thanks! I knew there was a reason I liked you.

That would make the most sense, although could be considered a sloppy move. An experienced bear (or wolf, for that matter) wouldn't get jumpy at the first sign of being spotted. It is entirely plausible that a newbie bear would see possibly being spotted as more of a threat than it was and jump to make the kill before anything could come of it.

If my memory serves (and it probably doesn't), the only one that Hakon stated a clear bear suspicion of was Rikae.

I hope I worded that right...
We don't have any say in how the narrations are done, so no. That's completely up to Boro and wilwa, although they might be so kind as to accept a suggestion as to the manner of death if you ask really nicely.

I'm inclined to agree that the bear in this game might be a newbie. Though I did vote for Hakon, I honestly didn't think him any more dangerous than the cobbler. I didn't have any suspicion as to who the wolves and/or bear was at the time, so that seemed like the best way to go (unfortunately).

It would make sense that the bear would keep around the wolves in an attempt to off a few ordos/gifteds, but then that does somewhat increase his/her chance of being night-killed... One thing I can be sure of, based on the bear's description in the Admin thread: s/he is looking out for Number #1 and no one else.

I agree, but looking out for Number 1 can mean keeping around the ones that will serve you the best for as long as possible.

All righty, I am falling asleep here and am going to go ahead and vote now on the off chance that I don't make it back for deadline (I'm fairly certain I'll be around) since I certainly don't want to get modfired.

++Rikae

I'll probably end up retracting, since the more I think about it the less I think she's evil, but I need a placeholder for the time being. Goodnight!

Ah, sorry for defending myself so vehemently then. I saw that vote out of the corner of my eye, was reading the analysis posts, and replied right away.

Sally looks innocentish.

Mira looks worrisome.

phantom's posts toDay look innocentish, at any rate.

Form is a bit cautious and under-reindeerish, which always merits a closer look.

Nessa
I don't know, and she irritated me, not so sure how well I can read her.

Nerwen is also sleeping under my reindeer.

Mac hasn't posted yet toDay (because he was too tired) but I think he's innocent.

Inzil is looking bad, but may be the type I always suspect.

Nienna is really, really far under the reindeer.

morm
looks relatively innocent, although he's making me mad.

alona and autume have not made an impression, really - I have to look again.

Lommy has not said enough to judge.

Anyone I forgot is forgotten. Take that as you will. (No offense to anyone I forgot).

Forgot Shasta and Durelin, which in itself suggests I should look at them...

also, these are two you could say I have strong opinions on in general. Shasta is one I tend to trust, and Durelin scares me.

Interesting how you seem to be able to come out with me as a top suspect in every analysis.

Here, you just said that it wasn't something an experienced bear would do. Well, I am an experienced bear. I mentioned that before. In fact, I don't think anyone else won as a bear, making me THE experienced bear. By your own logic, I couldn't be it.
