I agree with this.

I think the best thing for the village to do right now is figure out which one of our suspect wolves is going to yield the most information when they are killed.

I think, at this point Menel’s death would be the most informative.

What are other people’s thoughts?

I'm still rereading and writing a longer post, but I'll pop up to comment. Right now I feel that Menel's or Miggy's death would be the most informative, but I'd prefer lynching Menel because he looks more wolvish.

I already know I will vote for either Menel or Might toDay.

And whatever one doesn't die toDay, I will most likely vote for toMorrow.

That's kind of the way I'm leaning now...but I want to remain open to other possibilities.

Inflexibility isn't good.

I've had a bad day today, actually started with getting the wrong present for St. Nicholas' Day and from that point it just kept getting better and better.

So I am really not in the mood to analyse anything.

I hope you'll lynch Menel and not me, as that would really make my day.

Anyway, as I promised I'm going to vote to whoever seems to be most wolvish (so maybe you will believe me)

++ Menel

PS: "Into the West" is a great song when you feel sad

Sorry, didn't read all the replies before Brinniel, and my vote is gone.
But, if it happens that tomorrow I am still alive, then I shall vote for myself.

EDIT: cause the last sentence makes little sense, of course if I am the one considered to be the most wolvish one

*What?*

If you're innocent, like you say you are that would be the worst thing you could do.

Here are my thoughts on yesterday, I'll comment on today later.

Farael's attacks on Sally don't look good too me. He clearly focused too much on one victim. And Sally's strangeness made her a very easy victim, a victim which doesn't make you look bad if lynched innocently. Watch out for Farael more!

This is the same reason why I still think Menel is innocent. His accusations of morm were way too bold for a wolf.

Which brings me to the one who "stood right behind Menel" when morm was accused: Volo. Volo's 'long defensive post' incredibly rubs me the wrong way. Such a long self-defense 50 minutes before the deadline? Why were you more concerned about how you look to others than about figuring out who the wolves were - at that time? Also, his defenses itself don't convince me at all.

I also like morm's post #369, which points towards Volo and Kuru. Kuru's continued pointing out how strange Sally was looks quite suspicious in retrospect.

Lommy's long analyses are completely misled (except maybe where Fea is involved) as we know now, but also look very honest and genuine.

Brinn first voted for Menel and then said "Please no double lynchings! I'm begging you." This raises my eyebrow.

The Might is fishy and slippery. What I really don't like is that he apologises for causing the double lynch in the same post that he votes with. Even before he officially knew the result, he said: "if you feel the need to lynch me tomorrow because of it, do so". It doesn't get any more suspicious, I'm afraid.

I don't have anything to comment about Fea, and Aganzir. They appear innocentish to me at the moment. Does anybody have any idea about Shasta?
