Well, I started working with this look at Durelin yesterDay when the whole Fea-craze began. Now I have finished it and here it comes.
Durelin
Nothing open, nothing clear – that could have been guessed anyway already beforehand. So every single item in this list is as itself not a proof or heavy enough to make Durelin more suspicious than anyone else here, but the wealth of them make me suspect her. But I must make a reservation: I have never played with Durelin before, so I don’t know what is her normal playing style eg. whether these kinds of things are the norm with her.
- Her first Day was full of the teamwork-stuff. As someone already noted, the wolves are the only ones able to think with that mindset. Every innocent or gifted knows that you basically can’t trust anyone. I do think myself that as the game goes on, it’s always an asset to find people to trust – and kind of make it a teamwork. But that’s possible only after you have some grounds to trust someone. Calling for teamplay on Day1 sounds pretty misguided and misleading.
- Then there are a couple of oddities. In #94 she says when defending her vote on Spm:
Quote:
And in discordance with my belief, this Man stands in the way of the teamwork mindset I'm looking for.
Plus...a threesome-vote is like teamwork...right?

And on the next Day she makes something like an overview on those who have gained votes so far on #217:

Durelin...definitely a wolf.

I have seen wolves doing just this before. It would seem to be far too reckless from a wolf to come up with both of these, but then again we should remember “the bluff – double bluff” –thing too. If we have an intelligent wolf, s/he would probably love to make this “Do you really think I’m that stupid?” –argument.
- Then she seems to be somewhat “overly defencive” as some people have noted. She has gathered suspicion, and I somewhat understand her defencive posting, but still she seems to be somewhat jumpy on these issues. Or what do you think for instance calling two votes a bandwagon against her (#106) or starting a post with saying that she feels no real need to defend herself – and then go on doing just that and over-emphasizing her innocence “And trust me, finding out the SPM was innocent was a
real blow for me.” (#263)?
- Her suspicions and votes seem a bit suspicious too, even though most of us have had bad hunches in this game so far (otherwise we would have already caught a wolf or two). So on Day1 she suspects Boro and retracts her nonsense vote on Spm (trying to get him lynched early in the game already?) to vote tom just before the voting is called off. And she had just been ranting all Day how changing votes is bad! On Day2 she comes up with a theory where Spm defended Boro to make himself look good (quite nice theory, I admit, but one that a wolf might make easily). And she votes for Spm. On Day3 she tries to start a case against Celuien (who at least to my eyes seem to be one of the few villagers I tend to trust for now), and she has continued her open suspicions on Celuien up to this date. On Day3 she also voted for Celuien So she has been after Boro (good player, innocent, dead), Spm (good player, innocent, dead) and Celuien (good player, innocent?, ...).
I'm not so suspicious about Durelin as I was when I based my thoughts merely on second hand evaluations, but surely she is topping my list after tgwbs. That's kind of sad, but at least I don't seem to have another clue yet. Hopefully we can come up with some really good ideas before the Day is at an end.
