Oh... I was already wondering what all the black cloaks were doing in my laundry basket. Wise decision, Gurthang and Nilp, to step forward.

This is very much how I'd like to see things to be done because even though it were Gurthang who had the last word in nominating the lynching candidates, we are all still able to see who chose to make a case against whom, how they reacted etc. The Days will pass in usual Wizard/Wolf catching style, but the voting just will be a bit different.

Right now I'm baffled by this issue between Valier and Roa. It's clear that Valier wasn't the Seer, so I wonder what has made her so unusually confident about Roa. I know Valier has excellent instincts, but the way she's been campaigning against Roa seems odd. I must admit that I've had some suspicions of Roa, too, but they seem to be based more on a gut feeling than anything concrete.

My first thought when Gurthang revealed himsef was that the EW won't probably argue against the plan (if the EW has already spoken). They will accept it trying to appear helpful, and if none of their minions is on the list, why shouldn't they? If the EW has Wolves on the list, s/he will sacrifice them because it's safer than to start arguing against a clear plan. If that theory is right, it would indicate that Roa isn't the EW. However, the EW's picks (Loki, Nogrod, Naria, Nilp) look like something that Roa could choose, and Roa did vote according to the plan although it was spiced up with some sarcasm.

Anyway, if we assume that the EW has posted toDay (which isn't certain), the person that looks the most EWish to me would be Fea. It could possibly be due to her "mind-numbing headache", but I found her early posts odd. Besides, I think Fea would have been a good match for Gurthang as the other Wizard.

True. It's just so hard to anylyse people who don't talk. Sleepy has made 3 posts and so has Eonwe. Oddwen has spoken 5 times, Zali seven...
