Mormegil has shown increased participation today, but I remain unconvinced of his innocence.

One thing I have mentioned today is people's defensiveness and personal arguments, and morm has added to my suspicions about his style by holding defensive back-and-forths with TGWBS and Lommy, in which I found his reasoning dubious.

He begins in post 275 by accusing Thinlomien of voting for him without reason (saying that she did the same with SpM). However, I do not agree with his argument. Playing style is a valid reason to have voted for him, because it was very out of character for him. He also complains that she said she may come back and change her vote, but that when she came back, she didn't. She explained herself at the time, saying that she had 2 suspects, but morm was a less useful player due to his style, and that she was sticking to her vote (as she reminds him in her retort on p.288). to me, this is entirely justified.

I don't necessarily agree with personal retorts (like lommy's post 288), and I remain suspicious of lommy because she has frequently seemed over-zealous in her defence of herself this game, but I have to say I felt the same way as her about morm. Lommy is far too defensive, (see post 297...a joke perhaps, but one that reveals her nerves), but I think morm seemed to have a guilty conscience too. The fact that I dieagreed with morm's arguments, in addition to my initial mistrust of his style (and his fast change), means that my list of suspects looks like this:

1.morm
2.durelin
3.lommy
4.TGWBS

I haven't really had time to investigate TGWBS today, I'm afraid. I'm also aware that it is unlikely that morm and lommy are both wolves, but I think one of them almost certainly is.

Despite my boundless respect for morm's coining of the term "pokecrap", he remains the most suspicious player to me, for the reasons given above.

Therefore, I vote for ++MORM
