Well now, there have certainly been lots of developments...

Saurreg suspects Eomer (voted) and Firefoot.

the phantom says Saurreg is innocent and vice versa. The phantom also thinks that:

1) Eomer is a wolf who picked Azaelia to set him up, or
2) There's a Firefoot, Oddwen and Fea lupine triumvirate if my theory that Azaelia was killed to make Oddwen/Saurreg look innocent is correct. He thinks this is less probable than the Eomer theory.

Eomer suspects the phantom and Saurreg very strongly. Entirely understandable if he's innocent since they've come out equally strongly against him.

Fea's suspect list consists of the phantom, dancing spawn, Eomer and LMP. Her vote today is going to LMP. I see no particular reason to suspect dancing spawn or LMP since they wouldn't have accomplished much by killing Azaelia and Azaelia's death is the only concrete evidence of wolvish thinking that we have right now.

I honestly believe that lynching Eomer is a mistake. The only evidence against him is the now notorious slip from day 1 and the phantom's theory that he is involved in a frame-up connected to the death of Azaelia. But Azaelia's death didn't particularly cast suspicion on the phantom more than it could have been used against anyone else.

I don't particularly think that the phantom is a wolf either. The wolves wouldn't pick him simply because he generates so much controversy, whether he looks suspicious or not, that it's easy for them to hide in the background.

Which leaves me with the problem of fitting a pattern to this madness. I haven't discounted the possibility that the wolves' pick last night was as random as our choices yesterday and that they are howling with glee at our attempts to fit their actions into a masterful plan. I'm going to have to make my choice soon and I have quite a dilemma in that none of the current leaders in the vote count strikes me as a furry beast. My selection of Oddwen yesterday was more or less a blind stab, although her guilt does fit in nicely with theory above. The vote is going to have to be one that gives us information. If Eomer is innocent, my attention will go directly to the phantom, Saurreg and Firefoot. If he turns out to be a wolf, I'll be absolutely certain of Saurreg's innocence - although I'm not as suspicious of him now as I was earlier, I'm also not 100% convinced that I shouldn't vote for him. What a tangle.

Incidentally, I'm no werewolf mastermind. Somehow, I have a sinking feeling that I'm going to be someone's midnight snack.
