Okay. The day's been quite a mess, and I haven't quite got my thoughts cleared yet since I only just read it.

First of all, Boro makes me uneasy. He seems like a sort of sardonic observer, popping up once in a while to make a little, clever post, and meanwhile being very careful of his suspicions and letting out very little of himself. Of course that might just be those silly playing style matters.

Secondly, I'm rather annoyed at myself at the moment. I just noticed that I have a tendency to automatically trust people who make long and fruitful(-looking) analyses of others. In this round, I find Rikae and Nerwen rather innocent. Rikae's jump on Gwath in her novel strikes me as slightly worrisome, though. I saw Gwath's post simply as a genuine offer of an alternative theory. Of course it is important to recognise the possibility of him defending sally and Durelin, but completely leaving out the alternative to that doesn't look good.

Of the others, both Mac and Lommy look innocentish, Sally, Durelin and Nog I cannot read, Menel and McCaber I find slightly worrying, and Gwath looks genuine enough.

Coming back with more, hopefully.

Sleeping 'til 2pm? Good, you're finally taking after your sister. As for school, I happened to have lunch and currently I'm having an hour off...

Now I just don't like the tone of this at all. It just sounds wrong, throwing suspicion around merely for the sake of throwing it, not because of actually suspecting anything AND not standing behind his suspicion by stating he's just throwing it around.

Rikae seems to make a big mess of the me-Mac-Boro-Sally-Durelin-Gwath thing, which troubles me a little. It seems like she wants people to stick to speculating and arguing only about it for the whole Day, or to phrase it a bit more nicely and realistically, keep the debate going. Which I'm not sure an innocent would do.

It seems to be her normal playing style. Which of course does not guarantee she's innocent.
