OK, my thoughts on the voting.
First off, I too found it strange that
Boromir88 accumulated so many votes. I saw nothing in him yesterday to attract particular suspicion.
Elempi seemed particularly aggressive in his desire to see
Boro lynched. More reason still to keep an eye on him.
But my main suspicions arise from the votes cast yesterday for
Gil-Galad. I am not sure how he became such a prime suspect. His reaction vote for
Glirdan worried me at first, but when I considered it further it seemed to me to be a most un-Wolfish thing to do. It was bound to draw attention, so why would a Wolf do it? And there was nothing else to go on, other than the fact that he was quiet. But that is standard behaviour for
Gil.
The following voted for him (in order):
Glirdan,
mormegil,
Kath,
Celuin and
Boromir88.
I am still inclined to view
Glirdan's early vote for
Gil as being too risky for a Wolf, given that
Gil was quite likely to be in the running to be lynched (as indeed he was).
Boro's vote could go either way. I should perhaps correct a seemingly general misapprehension.
Boro did not have to vote for
Gil to save himself. He voted last, at a time when he and
Gil were tied on four votes each. Had he voted differently,
Gil would still have been lynched because there are no double lynchings and
Gil received the first vote. But in those circumstances, wouldn't a Wolfish
Boro simply have "throw away" his vote, especially when he claimed to have other suspects, rather than voting for
Gil? On the other hand, perhaps he felt that a vote for
Gil would look more innocent as he could claim that he had no choice (which is precisely what he did). So
Boro's vote for
Gil could go either way for me.
To my mind, the most suspicious votes for
Gil are those in between.
Gil was an easy target, especially as he already had one vote. Perhaps the Wolves thought they could avoid the noose if they promoted him as a candidate. Or perhaps one of them had attracted some votes and was at risk of being lynched.
Mormegil's vote put
Gil equal with
Glirdan and
Boro on two votes each.
Kath's vote put him one ahead of
Glirdan,
Boro and
Lhuna, on three votes.
Celuin put him two ahead of
Glirdan,
Boro,
Lhuna and
tar-ancalime, making him the clear favourite for the noose.
I suspect that there is one Wolf (although probably no more) among those three
Gil voters. And there could well also be a Wolf among those who were potentially saved by those votes. I am inclined, for now, to think
Glirdan and
tar innocent and I am unsure about
Boro. Which leaves
Lhuna, my prime suspect from yesterday. But would a Wolfish
Lhuna kill
Holby, who cast suspicion on her yesterday? Possibly. If she is a Wolf, she was a bold one yesterday.
So, my current suspects (and in no particular order as matters stand):
mormegil,
Kath,
Celuin,
elempi and
Lhuna.
I will review
Holby's posts from yesterday and the contributions made already today. But it is getting late in my part of the village (
), so I may not be back until later today (RL: tomorrow).
