Well, I've just gone back and re-read most of the discussion (starting all the way back at DAY 1), with particular attention to those who seem the most interesting to me at the moment. For what it's worth, here are my thoughts.
I've been considering Eomer most thoroughly, for obvious reasons. I still don't get much of a sense of wolvishness from his posts. If it weren't for the fact of Dancing Spawn's death, I don't think I'd consider him a prime suspect at this point. Spawn's arguments are mainly concerned with the fact that Eomer has seemed hesitant to accuse people. She does have something of a point here. But this is rather shaky evidence upon which to lynch someone. Moreover, it seems to me that the same charge could be made against several other villagers (Kath, Celuien, Glirdan, and even Spawn herself prior to her attack on Eomer). He is somewhat defensive in response to Spawn's attack. Rather reminds me of LMP. I made the mistake of thinking that his apparent over-reaction to being accused looked wolvish. I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
But the thing that really has me leaning toward Eomer's innocence is actually the same thing that caused Spawn to suspect him. We all know that Eomer would be a bold wolf - so bold that there's a real possibility that he would, indeed, have killed Spawn. But if he's such a bold wolf, why would he more or less "play it safe" in terms of accusations? It strikes me that if Eomer were a wolf, he wouldn't be afraid to take a risk and accuse someone. His "playing it safe" - i.e., perhaps, playing it rationally - looks more like something he'd do if innocent.
Mind you, if he turns out to be a wolf I'm sure a few choice words will run through my mind . . .
As for the other people I've been looking at and/or have caught my eye:
Tar-ancalime - I'm increasingly thinking that my less informed DAY 1 opinion of her (i.e. that she's a wolf) was correct. After coming under some scrutiny early on, she's managed to avoid suspicion for the most part. Yet I still can't put my finger on what's making me so nervous about her.
Kath - The two times that she has actually voted, it's been for Gil and Garin - both fairly "safe". But what really worries me about her is her quietness, followed suddenly by long analyses (when people start to comment on the quietness). Not a top suspect yet, but I'd definitely like to hear more from her.
Farael - He's really starting to look like a wolf to me. Other than attacking me, the one thing he's really done is suggest that we lynch LMP (to get information about me, of course). Now, I also thought we should lynch LMP - but that's because I thought he was a wolf. I'm also not quite sure what "information" he thought he'd get. He decided that if LMP was a wolf, then I'm a wolf, and if LMP wasn't a wolf . . . then I'm a wolf. Farael, how about telling us what you think of the other villagers? Whom else do you suspect? Or am I all three wolves at once?
Formendacil - He still worries me a little bit. I'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now, but only because there are others who concern me more.
