It is quite possible that, throughout that whole episode, a Duck would have been looking to hedge his or her bets, not knowing which was the Owl and which the Goose.

That said, JennyHallu, a known Duck, came out definitively against Mith and for Glirdan, which suggests that they may have worked out that Mith was the true Owl. That is why I am currently inclining towards voting for Lote, who adpoted the same approach.

Morm. I have reread the whole thread. And I can assure you that you have responded to practically every point made against you. It doesn't follow that you're a Duck. But it looks suspicious to me.

Why? Simply because I suspect you? I think that there are good grounds for doing so.

And, while I have a lot of faith in Mith, I do not share her assessment that there have been two Owls in this village. I think it unlikely that Diamoddess would have misled us so blatantly when she posted the "rules". The only possibility, to my mind, would be that a second Owl was created on Night 2, when the additional Duck was added. But this would be inconsistent with the accounts given by both Mith and Glirdan, who both referred to having had dreams on Night 1.
