Kitanna
Kitanna has been consistent and reasonable all the time. I somehow get a good vibe from her this time (it has not been the case everytime...) even though I would so much wish to see her post a bit more. I know that one thing that made me look more better of her was her lengthy wondering of why Rikae thought we should not vote for Roa (#245) as I shared the same confusion (that was about the only thing why I thought there was a small chance that we were led astray with her earlier yesterDay – another one being that there was a genuine possibility for Roa’s case, although a slight one again).

Now I know some of you say that there is the argument of numbers (which I disagree still) but if you look at how she ponders it, it sounds genuine embarrassement for the sake of the village making her doubt Rikae a little – even though she declares in the end believing her. Now this I would say sounds like someone who really cares for the village and tries to do her best for it. So even if we have a “plain case” she has the courage to voice her doubt if she thinks there is something fishy in there.

And what a fool I’ll feel myself if I’m wrong about her, but at least for now I’m not worried about her.


Lalaith
Now Lalaith really confuses me. I mean Confuses. Just think of this.

She votes Holby because of the “whom do we pray”-sentence, speculates that the wolves might be sacrificing one of their own on Day1 (!), all this to and fro with asking Rikae whom she had dreamt of and seemed to be most confused about anything that happened in Night2...

The really odd episode was her retracting from Holby to Mänwe with stated reason that the Seer must be safe. Now what she did was getting Mänwe to 5 votes while Garin was in 6 (and Rikae in 4). If the primary reason is to save the Seer one should vote for Garin. And she clearly realised it as she answers on Day2 to Roa’s question of that vote-change thus:
Quote:
Yes, I knew Rikae was almost certainly safe at that point but you never know, hasty last-minute voting by people who don't finish reading a thread, it has happened....so I switched my vote to be sure.
The two alternatives were Garin and Manwe, and I felt Garin was probably innocent - as he indeed proved to be. Of the two, I preferred to see Manwe lynched as I wasn't as sure about him.
Now all this makes sense but the bolded part. I’m not sure what to make of this. The wolves may slip when they try to come up with fabricated excuses but that’s also very humane (I’m indeed more inclined to interpret that to and fro with Rikae’s dreams as a pure mistake in thought and not as a wolvish plan immediately retracted).

Even though there might be reasons to suspect her I’m inclined not to, at least much, at the moment.
