Kuruharan says in post 107:

However, if I were a werewolf this time I'd certainly be trying to drive the herd in the direction of hanging someone who has suspicion hanging about his person for some unaccountable reason.

According to his own logic, the fact that there are people casting suspicion on him would indicate that they are Werewolves, insofar as they are trying to “drive the herd” toward hanging someone who is already under suspicion. Kuru, I would note, garnered zero votes yesterday to my two. So it would appear that I am under more suspicion than he: which makes his comments in post 101 illuminating:
Quote:
This is a rather strange, callous, and self-serving thing to say in this situation. It makes me think that the werewolves killed TGWBS thinking that we would never believe that Fordim (being one of them) would do something so obvious.
However, that is just a theory and not necessarily the best one at the moment. However, Fordim has ruined the calming of my suspicions about him.

Seems to me that we may have quite an example of attempted “herd leading”…
SaucepanMan made the point:

But it was Kuruharan's comments that tipped me towards Evisse rather than SoN. He drew attention to her "hedging" comments and, fortified by that, I began to concentrate on her rather than SoN. Was Kuru, knowing that Evisse was innocent, trying to lead me (and the other innocent Villagers) towards her and away from SoN? It is quite possible.

More “herding”???
Let me point out that I’m not reacting to
Kuru’s suspicions with new ones of my own: away back in post 99 I put him right at the top of my list with
Saucy based on yesterday’s events.
(NB to
Saucy: I had the votes in reverse order because I worked backward through the posts: but you are quite right, it is useful to look at them in proper chronological order so thanks for that – I must admit, that seeing them in that order does make
The Phantom look a little less suspicious.)
One more thing I will say is that unless I start to see a lot more from
Shelob, Oddwen, Holybtlass, Son of Numenor and in particular
Azaeilia I’m going to start agitating to lynch someone more evasive and low-key than my current top suspects…
