I wouldn't say that Nilp used his RL situation as an excuse. He cannot help his time zone nor his RL committments. I think that he participated just about as much as could be expected - and moreso than many "quiet ones" have done in the past.

Nilp was the victorious Wolf, however, not because he was quiet, but because he came to be seen in the closing stages almost as a presumed innocent. He should take credit for having achieved that (through his astute voting), as should Volo for helping to create the conditions which led to it (with his damjing analysis).

Even though I am a loudmouth myself, I have always supported the "quiet Wolf" tactic as a legitimate one. Wolves come in all shapes, sizes and manners of verbosity - it is up to the innocents to find them. As I said, Holby has past form on this, and should have been subject to greater pressure in consequence. Volo can hardly be described as a quiet one and, as I said, I believe that Nilp contributed about as much as he was able.

I am afarid that us loudmouths have to face the fact that we are more liable to turn on each other, as innocents, than investigate the quiet ones. It is as well, as a loudmouth, to bear that in mind for the future.
