As per request... Note: I'm new at this, so, like I said, it's long...
Farael
DAY ONE
On the first day, he talks mostly about his suspicions of
Anguirel, and I can't find anything else useful, so I shan't do a break-down analysis by post.
DAY TWO
Post #191:
The second day, he comes in defending himself against (A)
TGWBS, who was wondering why he hadn't made a suicidal vote, and (B)
Eomer, who wondered why
Farael had jumped to
Kath's defense. His defense doesn't seem to tell us anything important.
He then moves on to accusations. He says that by killing
Anguirel, the werewolves implicated him and made
Kath seem innocent, because we would think it was obviously a set-up. Later in the day, several people raised concerns about Farael's statement here:
Anguirel hadn't really attacked
Kath that strongly, so why was it
obviously a set-up? Obviously, we now know that
Farael thought this because, well,
Kath was a werewolf. He makes a strong attack on
Kath, probably hoping that once we'd lynched her, we would trust him. His last sentence is:

He mentions
tar-a there, and I think this probably clears her of guilt. I doubt very much that
Farael would have accused
two werewolves so early on; The werewolves would have immediately caught on that he was either the lover or a seer, and killed him.
DAY THREE
Post #288:
Says "I was fearing that" (I think referring to
dancing spawn's death, and her turning out to be a Seer). Apologizes for not voting, says he didn't know voting would end so early.
Post #297:
This post analyzes
dancing spawn. It seems like he did this mostly to try to point away from
Lhuna. Tries to shift suspicion to
Kath by arguing that he doesn't understand why
dancing spawn would have dreamt of
Lhuna in the first place.
Posts #301 & 302:
Tries to defend his attack on
Kath. Also says to
tar-a that he doesn't think we should make a list of known innocents yet. I can't figure out why he says this (I can't even find
tar-a's post that he's responding to.
Post #304:
Responds to
Cailin's correction of his facts. Proposes a plan of lynching
Kath and saving
Lhuna for later.
Post #306:
Cryptic response to
Lalaith's claim that if she were a Seer in
Nilp's game, she'd dream of
Lhuna immediately. Later edits when he realizes why she said this.
Post #310:
Responds to
TGWBS, who said he didn't think it likely that
any wolves had been dreamt of. Says that "Wolves usually hide in the shadows... or at least, most wolves in the pack do". Continues to argue that we should lynch
Kath.
Post #312:
Responds to
TGWBS.

He's probably just trying to imply that
TGWBS and
Kath are lovers, but one could also interpret it as him saying that they're both wolves. I'm suspicious of
TGWBS to begin with, so I'd like to hear others' opinions on the issue. It should be noted that by this point
Farael seemed pretty careless (I mean, his attack on
Kath was suspiciously strong).

|
Pretty much just getting defensive.
Post #319:
Defends himself against
LMP's suggestion that he could be a desperate lover. Suggests that if we think he is the lover, we should lynch him and
Kath or
Lhuna and
Kath. Probably hoping we won't take him seriously.
Cross-posts with
tar-a, who points out some flaws in
TGWBS's plan.

Could he have been telling the truth? That all four wolves
are female? I think it's more likely that he didn't want to be killed himself, but we can't eliminate the possibility.
Post #352:
Calls
TGWBS's plan "crazy". Probably because he knows he'll be one of the first guys lynched.
Quote:

if we set out to do it, it's a win for the werewolves. No, they won't be too silent, but of course they won't be too loud... the female werewolves just have to go with the flow of the village, discussing calmly the death of every single male, even their furry counterparts. Given that they know who the males are (and given that the male werewolves will probably accept their faith and make the sacrifice) they'll accuse them, look innocent enough for the rest of the village and sail easily for the win.
|
This implies there
are male wolves. Although he might just be saying this because I'd already made the point.
Responds to
Kath, who had pointed out his seemingly apologetic vote for
Anguirel on Day One.
Post #360:
More stuff against
TGWBS's plan. I'm assuming
Farael did know who the wolves were (I think by now we'd all agree that it's the first thing
Lhuna told him). The way he's arguing with
TGWBS, it doesn't seem like he's a wolf. It seems like honest argument ("you just don't see it, do you?") But of course he wouldn't act like he know
TGWBS was a werewolf, even if he did know it.
Post #366:
Answer's
Eomer's defense of
TGWBS's plan. Says
Eomer is beginning to worry him. Possibly accusing an innocent just so the wolves don't catch on to him, or maybe he, too, thought
Eomer was the other seer, and wanted to cast suspicion on him so that accusations towards
Lhuna wouldn't be trusted.
Post #370:
Corrects himself as to [B]Eomer[B]'s stance on
TGWBS's plan. (Eomer said he would suspect people who were against double-lynchings, not people against the plan)

Trying to cast suspicion on an innocent? Possibly. Might also be accusing another wolf... but is that likely? Might he not be afraid that the wolves would kill him that night? Or might he feel safe, knowing that the wolves could see he was under suspicion and wouldn't kill him, since it would lead back to those he had accused?
Post #389:
Wants us to lynch
Kath and then
TGWBS a day later. If
TGWBS were a wolf and
Farael had gained any support for this plan, surely it would have meant
Farael's death that night. Then again, he was desperate at this point. His attack on
TGWBS is mostly based on his wanting to root out the lovers, which
Farael says is mainly the concern of a wolf. But of course that's what he would say; He
was one of the Lovers!
Post #398:
Out of desperation, I think, makes an attack on
Samwise. As I've said, I think that he was pretty desperate at this point.
Farael aside, I've been inclined to trust
Samwise so far.
Post #402:
States plan again: lynch
Kath and then
TGWBS
Post #406:
Tries to ease suspicion by saying
Lhuna is still on his suspect list.
Post #430:
Votes for
Kath, first saying he'd rather lynch her and
TGWBS than her and
Lhuna. Also accuses
Formendacil of being one of the lovers, with
Kath as, possibly, the other Lover.
Quote:
|
Formen, either you are a cunning lover or a cunning wolf. But you are too cunning for this village anyhow.
|
He italicized "a cunning wolf"; I doubt this was meant to honestly tell us something, probably just to imply that even if
Form didn't die when
Kath did, he might still be guilty.
Farael was probably just trying to get suspicion on
anyone else at this point.
Post #431:
Final plea to vote for
Kath and not
Lhuna
My main conclusion here is that you can take any statement and argue that he was telling the truth or lying just as convincingly, so I don't think we should use his posts as our MAIN reason for a lynching. (Great conclusion to come up with after spending so long on this
) I've already expressed concern about
TGWBS, so I'd appreciate thoughts from people who haven't already got opinions on him (although I suppose we all have opinions on everyone).
Okay, analysis over. Sorry it's so long, sorry if I've missed anything. But here it is, hope it's helpful.
