Again, some more things that have caught my eye as I’ve reread the Day 2 posts.

(bold mine) A true statement, no doubt, but it smells a bit of fraternizing with the enemy… or perhaps a slip that indicates something more deeply lupine?

I do agree with Ang, however, in that the Nogrod bandwagon at the end was very odd. Generally bandwagons lead to a lynching, and aren’t just a brief stream of votes at the tail end of a Day.

Nogrod’s post #122 reveals some interesting points about Naria – perhaps a wolf-Naria would fear that Nogrod’s bold writing could touch a little too close to the mark?

I don’t see being vocal as being synonymous with overly suspicious. While it’s true that aggressive players often become controversial, and that a wolf can hide behind a loud front, it’s good to get opinions and ideas out there. Despite this statement, I really do believe that Roa is innocent due to her early vote for Ka.

Earlier I said that quietness alone is no reason to kill someone. RL happens, despite our best intentions. But when people do not talk at all, like Witch_Queen, then I think it’s time to become more suspicious of them. I’m thinking that if WQ posts nothing for Day 2, she could be a prime candidate for my vote, if not toDay then on Day 3. Maybe she’s innocent, maybe she’s not – either way she’s not helping.

There seems to be a fair amount of suspicion regarding my vote. I voted third for Ka, seventh in the total order. There were six votes left, and note how easily the final three voters formed a bandwagon for Nogrod! It would not have been impossible for a wolf-Enca to vote for someone else to tie them with Ka with two votes each, and then, as I stated in an earlier post, to sway a couple of other people to that person, rather than cast a crucial vote for a comrade. I hope at least some of you can see the logic here.

Now looking for some clues in Sleepy’s “it shall be over soon” post, perhaps not conclusive but some points to consider nonetheless:

They had called her stupid, they had laughed at her. She would show them who was better, it wouldn't be long now. (About Roa)

This connotes a desire for vengeance, as others have suggested. But as I have stated, I don’t think Roa is a wolf.

She had been cast away by society, she had been called a freak due to what she made. The people were too narrow-minded to see the beauty in her work. (about Thinlomien)

Sleepy hints at Thinlo having a macabre sense of the beautiful, which could go with the bloody fountain imagery.

Her small store was rarely visited by anyone, it reeked of the smell of death but that did not bother her, she just laughed as she did her job. (about Naria)

This has also been brought up before, as laughing while butchering is a bit, er, creepy.

Being a governess was a tiring job, you had to move about and talk to fake people while being marginably fake yourself but it was one she managed to do with ease. (about Holby)

The whole game of Werewolf is about faking people out, and Sleepy says she does it with ease.

That’s all for now. My suspicions are still rather vague. I suppose those towards the top of my list are Naria, Thinlomien (largely for the crazy multiple posting), and Witch_Queen.

I think I speak for all of us when I ask the following people to please speak up:

Witch_Queen
Gil-Galad
Valesse

I shall return around noon tomorrow to read and cast my vote.
