In addition to the wise comments delivered beforehand, I would also ask my new fellows to look out for those things that we have to look out for, for they are placed so as to be found by those who are looking, if you'll follow me.

He actually told us, though cryptically, that he was the hunter, or at least the ranger. "Beforehand" seems to point to the "wise" comments he'd just written himself (sadly, I'd interpreted them as "Hey, look for what the Seer wrote" and then played with the assumption that he was Seer before dropping the idea like a bad habit. I'd rather be assume I'm wrong than actually be wrong again.)

This statement makes me nervous. By "we" should could be saying that there is no exact art to wolvery, as illustrated by many games, or she could be telling us that the wolves are playing this by ear, without definate plans. With all day PMing, it's an absolute possibility. It makes it that much harder for us to track them, with them not having a strategy.

Now I'd like to address each of you [living ones] in turn:

Boromir88: So he consistently wanted me to die, but now he's pretty sure I was set up. I'm okay with this, though it makes me wonder. Why would he change his mind about me when I've yet to change my mind entirely about him? I'm still leaning toward "let's kill him just to be sure". His comment about Saucie still makes me wonder. That was just weird. I still don't like his agitation technique of coming up with random wolf-packs. That's something that I would do. I don't trust other people acting like me. I'm supposed to be the crazy one. When other people act crazy, I wonder why. Also, his most recent triad of me, Formy, and LMP contains two innocents that I'm aware of: me and LMP. Couldn't tell you on Formy, but it makes me think. Also, how he keeps saying "Look how often I'm right!" He hasn't always been right, he's been calling me a wolf for the whole game, up 'til now. It would be a classic wolf strategy to pull out of a campaign just in time to say "Why'd you guys lynch her? I told you I thought she was innocent!" and accompany it with several melodramatic tears and such.

Encaitare: I'm beginning to wonder if I'm actually part of a conspiracy I don't know about, so good is the evidence against us. She killed off Shelob, which I'm okay with because it means that I'm still here, but I can't for the life of me figure out why she did it, even though she explained. You see... we all know that I'm confusing as all heck, and the world would be a calmer, less confused, and less pretty place without me. We know this. To be honest, it would make your lives less difficult if I was dead, much though I don't want to die because that means that a wolf won't go in my place. And yet, Encai broke a double vote. Shelob and I would have both been gone, getting rid of an unknown threat and a really confusing one in one fell swoop. But Encai saved me. Is she trying to build a false bond? While I'm grateful that she saved me, I think I'd have been more comfortable with her innocence if she hadn't. It just brings to mind an event in the first village I ever lived in where a wolf attached himself to my innocent self. Also, her suspicion in Cailin. Anybody who even mentioned Cailin pre-Eomer-death is on my list. I didn't notice anything about Cailin until after she died, so people who did make me wonder if they already knew.

Esty: I wouldn't call her safe, as I know that the lady has a devilish sense of humor and I'd put little past her. On the other hand, my feelings toward her parallel those I attribute to TGWBS a little further on.

Firefoot: I do not think that Firefoot is a wolf. Though her posting style of individual analysis is ideal for hiding behind, as she doesn't have to account for anything she says spur-of-the-moment, I still do not feel anything that makes me nervous. Also, based on the strength of my LMP error, I'm duly considering dropping my suspicion of those who voted for Cailìn. Just because it's what I'd have done, doesn't mean that it's what was done. Now, the point that she is leaning toward a set up of me makes me less nervous than it does with some others. Just about all those that I perceive as innocent perceive me as guilty as sin, and I'll admit that there's reason for it. I screwed up big time. At least you know though, that if I was a wolf, you'd probably never even assume my guilt.

Formendacil: I've never played with him before. Upon asked how that makes me feel... I replied "slightly nervous". *silly grin* In any case, I'm pretty fond of his worry of Underhillo. However his original idea of mass-abstention brings to mind the ideas of random voting. Though he says that morm's initial idea for that would leave no clues behind, not voting at all would be even worse. Like I said... he makes me nervous.

Lhuna: her sparse posts filled to the brim with lack of depth (I swear, they're so shallow I can see my own reflection in them ) make me wonder. Yes, she's in another timezone, but I still wish she was posting more. Especially as I seem to remember her saying she's on break now.

Mister Underhill: is bothering me a really lot right now. He's been the subject of widespread and strong suspicion for several days by multiple people. On Day One Formendacil was after him. On Day Two, Formendacil, Lhuna, Morm, TGWBS, B88, Esty, and Firefoot were. ToDay, TGWBS, Formy, Morm. He deftly avoids flat out accusations, leaning more towards inconspicuous questions perhaps made to look like typical new-player confusion, but that cast shadows on the actions of other without ever actually saying that he thinks they are guilty. He also rarely states who he thinks is guilty. He mentions that Esty is, due to her amateurity, but that is not cause for belief in innocence at all. He vaguely defends the supposed "Innocent Three" (down to two, sadly), but without a lot of conviction. The fact that we are all aware of his intellect, and are seeing posts that skirt issues as neatly as the papers I write at 2:00 AM and hand in at 8:00 do, is making me wonder. Combining that with the sheer number of people that suspect him heavily, you can only conclude that it's not simply the wolves trying to cast suspicion. When at least seven people (myself included in that) think that somebody is really fishy, we need to take a closer look.

mormegil: Though he's part of that Innocent Three that I've been adamently trying to get you guys to not trust in, I'm starting to trust in it a little. But I'll get to that shortly. Apparently I can't trust in the insanity that works so well for me. It means that I actually had to start thinking logically. Just like the rest of us, morm had a 1/5 chance of becoming a wolf. Now what makes me nervous is that he did vote for Cailin. That's going back to my initital skepticism that a wolf would give up such a great opportunity to steal a place of Innocence. Especially his Day One statement going with his initial plan of random lynching: wolves will almost certainly help out their fellows. He's played with wolves before that have absolutely no qualms about getting each other killed. I know that he wouldn't overlook the possibility. However I'll note that he mentions the possibility of a LMP/Footie conspiracy, so I discount my earlier thoughts slightly because of it. But what bothers me more than all that is that he noticed Eomer's little note. Perhaps he is simply an incredibly bright innocent, or perhaps he knew where to look. Even better, perhaps he Saw it. Who knows? Certainly not me. I'm still trying to figure out if you guys know something about me that I don't. My point with this, which I think I accidentally lost track of, is that yes, morm has a decent chance of being a wolf, just like the rest of us. Yes, he knows things about wolvery based on past experience. Yes, he did two things that made me nervous. But I also think that if he was a wolf, he wouldn't have done those two things because he knows how I think in terms of wolvery, and he would surely understand that I'd notice those things because it's what I'd be doing. I also vaguely think that I think too much in terms of what I would be doing. I'm going to try and stop doing that.

TGWBS: Doesn't seem particularly dangerous. Admittedly I'll kick myself if I'm wrong, but I'm not exactly worried about him. Though he voted for the innocent Shelob twice, it was not as obstinant a vote as mine for LMP, as we had little to go on for Shelob and she was a dangerous variable. He is entirely correct in being suspicious of the ones who give you nothing to use to proove their innocence. I fully understand his suspicion of Encai and myself. Heck, the proof half convinces me that I'm in on a conspiracy, and I know that I'm not.

Next: Why I'm innocent.

You keep saying that I made silly mistakes. As a wolf, I don't make them. When I was formerly overcome by the spirit of evil (oh so thankfully vanquished these days), I looked more innocent than the innocent ones did. That's how that village became... no more. Just remember... each time you assume that I'm bad, I'm not. And when you assume I'm good, you should kill me. Since you all currently suspect me (minus those creepy ones that accurately think I've been framed) I can honestly tell you that you're wrong

PS: betcha there are a LOAD of crossposts. Be thankful you didn't get the six pages of notes I took.
