Second stage of my list. I added some to Gwath and Sally and added more people.

Brinniel (10) - I think her attitude says she's innocent (but then I always think she's innocent). Her vote for Sally does look to me a bit like a throwaway vote, but I just don't think a wolf-Brinn would be so easily irritable.

Fea (6) - I'm suspicious of her and will be until I get an explanation of yesterday's vote.

Gwath (10) - Seemed put out at the beginning of the day that Kuru was still alive. Also, #465 strikes me as a wolf trying to get instructions to a cobbler... does anyone else get that impression?

Now that I'm thinking along these lines, I wonder if Grima might be likely to try to force innocents to use their bonus votes early on by using some of his/her own.
Izzy (8) - I see some of the same things she does; notably the interesting interactions between Sally and Gwath. However, I'm not sure what to think about Izzy specifically.

Kuruharan (6) - obviously innocent.

Lari (10) - seems like she's playing very safe this time around. She's a possible baddie for me.

Nilp (7) - I like that he went to the trouble of an analysis on Firefoot, but... I just don't see that it accomplished a great deal. It made him look quite helpful, though, which doesn't sit right with me.

Nogrod (5) - The fact that all he's been saying today is "Let's focus on people who haven't used bonus votes yet" irks me a bit. Even though he says he's not, it's like he's discounting the possibility that there might be wolves that have used bonus votes already, which I don't think is a good idea at this point. That and I don't tend to like continuous harbingers of doom. I'm actually beginning to think, after rereading post #445 where he condemns Brinn, that he's just mad that she hasn't posted as much as he would like.

Sally (10) - In post 430, she states, "The thing was that I was pretty sure you weren't innocent". Freudian slip? Maybe she's Grima. Also, the way she adds Gwath's explanation of his non-vote to her own just seems weird to me. Also, her comment about Nienna being a "brilliant wolf". Seems odd to me; Nienna's only been in... one other game so far, I think, and Sally was the moderator. It just seems odd to me; I know I'd be more inclined to call someone a "brilliant wolf" if I'd actually played a game with them (especially since the baddies lost Sally's game). Also, I'm noticing that in #497, after Izzy calls her out on the list she made (immediately after, actually), Sally backs off of her suspicion of Izzy. Interesting...


Edit: X'ed with Kent and fixed a bold tag.

I was bored and wanted to see what you all would do.

Tragically, you didn't lynch me, and instead you gave me like eight pages to have to read. Fail.

I'm being Nilp. Lynch me.

Also,

He's been posting lots.

Oh, big time.

But we will lose if this continues like this.

See you before the DL (I hope I manage to wake up before that).

'Brilliant' does seem like a bit of an exaggeration.

I'm suddenly remembering now a part of the reason why I quit playing this game.
