My Post On All Things Kitanna

I’m not going to recap her posts: you wanna read ’em, click on the link.

#90

Nothing particularly suspicious, as such, but as a wolf she could easily be picking up on the criticism of Loki and zeroing in on a weak member of the village. She expresses agreement with both tp and Gurthang on a plan, which could be honest agreement or just wanting to appear positive.

#195

In voting for Loki she is remaining consistent with her one other post, which is not wolfish per se but can be considered cautious. I find it interesting that she never really seems to consider that he could be telling the truth.

#303

I don’t find anything suspicious in this post.

#315

Interestingly, when Roa questions her vote and reasons for voting Loki, she really doesn’t say anything about beyond commenting about Nogrod and Loki... doesn’t really stand up for her own reasons, beyond saying it was a blanket statement by Loki that made her suspect him. But, the rest of the post seems reasonable. Yet... I’m wary of cautiousness and her posting feels quite cautious.

#329

Well, all her points about Nogrod are quite “on” as he did in fact turn out to be a wolf. One reason why I didn’t remember her Day 2 posting very clearly is because her posts weren’t very suspicious in and of themselves -- but consider that going along with what a lot of people were saying about Nogrod is quite a canny way of making up for contributing to Loki’s death.

I, by the way, did the same thing as Kitanna voting-wise -- first Loki, than Nogrod. But I made my case and my vote for Nogrod before Roa really went after him, whereas Kitanna did it after. So, make of that whatever you will.

Now comes Day 3, when started getting bad feelings about her. She starts out defending Celuien here, but will end up voting for her eventually. She also seems to lean towards agreeing about Eomer being the evil wizard, which could be cautiously testing the bandwaggoning waters.

#448

Here she starts turning away from her defense of Celuien (and me) -- in the first half of the post she seems to be on Celuien’s side (cautiously) but at the end makes what I still feel is a very odd comment in response to me. As I’ve said, why should that comment I made make her regret defending Celuien?

#513

Here is where her reasoning continues to puzzle me. She initially defended Celuien’s pre-defense of her actions, but now she finds it condemning enough to vote for her. Like I said, I didn’t find Celuien’s posting that day to worsen my perception of her, yet as she came under more suspicion Kitanna found her defense of herself to be less warranted. Interesting.

#592

I felt like she was sidestepping my question here, making a rather unnecessary clarification. I don’t know, did anyone else think I was talking about THE phantom?

#598

Here’s an answer, but not one I’m totally comfortable with. She says that she was referring all the way back to Celuien’s first post of the game -- but this is the same post she defended, and when she actually did vote, she said it was because of:

Celuien's continued defense of phantom accusations of herself.

and

when Celuien continued it and regarded anyone looking at her as a "pointless arguement" I began to suspect her even more.

So her vote was not, in fact, about the earliest posting, it was about the later posting, which I found less suspicious, not more.

#620

Now, this interests me, because it’s very safe. She’s not taking sides with anyone in particular... which isn’t totally wolfish, but it continues her mostly safe way of doing things. I do not expect the Evil Wizard or one of his wolves to have the temerity to butt heads with him on thread, here, so this fits with my expectation of how a cautious baddy would react to the news of the Good Wizard’s coming out party.

In Summary:

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kitanna is innocent and all this has a reasonable explanation. But that, in itself, worries me -- Kitanna is exactly the sort of middle-ground, slightly-under-the-radar, comes-across-as mostly-reasonable-because-of-her-cool-tone sort of Wolf I’d want if I were the EW. So the fact that I can pick up on niggling things in her posts makes me fear having her around, quietly being evil. She’s like a spider, I’m afraid when I can’t get a clear view of her. (Um, I don’t mean that to be insulting, Kit, I’m just highly arachnophobic, so that seemed like an apt analogy.)

Plus, we’ve already seen the EW choose the Loud Wolf (Nogrod) the Unknown Element Wolf (Loki) and the Super Uber Quiet Wolf (Naria). Kitanna is the fourth type of poster and since the EW has selected one from each of the other demographics, I’m feeling that someone like Kitanna and Azaelia may have rounded out the pack.

This all said, I’m not as upset about voting Azaelia as I may have sounded -- yeah, like Roa, I pretty much voted early in a state of pique with Nilpaurion Knowitall but like I said, Zali was my pick yesterDay and I haven’t seen anything from her that changes my previous view.
