But really. I'm not sure if the wolves will feel they gain from a situation where they have managed to honestly reveal each other's ways of trying to look good on Day0.0! On the contrary I think it would be quite a nasty situation for them.

Well sadly there's only a few people who have actually voiced any suspicion at all and thence there is nothing too much to read.

Seriously, I fear that all this talk of the usefulness of votes to catch wolves whochange their opinions later is being fueled, at least in part, by those with evil intent as a way of setting up easy lynches from day 1 onwards. Of course people will change their opinions down the road, but I doubt any of the wolves would be foolish enough to do so in an obvious way - and they may be as likely to pursue their suspicions for each other anyway. It is entirely possible for two players to feud for an entire game while everyone else considers them both innocent.

It is entirely possible but not common that those rivals last for long. But you may be right with there possibly being a wolf among those who drive for voting toDay (we should not release anyone just because s/he speaks sense toDay). A bold wolf that is who wishes to take her/his chances by the classical wolf-tactics of speaking against her/his own good in public and thus looking good indeed. But yet again I'd trust the judgement of the people here not to fall into "easy lynches" on grounds of Day 0.0 alone.
