Thoughts on TGWBS:
His first post contained his vote for Eomer; it was Eomer's third vote (the second was Rune's...). Of the other people who had thus far received votes, Kath is the only one we don't know about - the other two were both innocent. I would say his vote was a pretty easy bandwagon vote.
Post 158, he wanted us to look at people who had voted for neither Eomer nor Nilp; well, this creates the possibility of a protection for Rune (voting for Eomer) and himself (whether wolf or innocent), as well as possibly Diamond, Durelin, or Ang (or me, if you so think). That definitely has interesting possibilities.
He does not vote on Day 2, which I find extremely strange. He claims tiredness, which was probably the case, but I would definitely think a wolf would make more effort - unless none of his fellow-wolves were in real danger? A lot of people received votes on Day 2, and only Lalaith and Ang remain unknown... I would think that if he were a wolf, this could argue for their innocence - anyone on that list had the potential to be lynched. It was just too close. Of course, maybe he was just being an apathetic wolf... or something. I don't know what can be drawn from this for sure.
He places suspicion on Morm (innocent) for accusing him of being a wolf - reasoning: different playing style - and Kath (unknown) for overlooking his RL issues. He also points out that wolf-tgwbs is unsuspicious... so just because he's suspicious, he's not a wolf? Eh... His later vote for Morm presumably follows from this.

Foolish, Holbytlass! You would have survived this day - morm got more votes first.
But it is done. Thank you none the less.

Is this comment completely innocent... or, "thank you for revealing yourself..." Could go either way.
He brings up the idea of our innocents leading the voting. It's not a bad suggestion. I could see either a wolf or an innocent making it, though; as I've already pointed out, the innocents don't really know what they're doing... it would be a bit of a risk, though...

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by allowing them to draw up a shortlist of, say, four people, and voting from that list.

Unless, of course, they were completely wrong... and wolves could still hide in this - chances are, not more than two wolves would show up on these lists - and if he wasn't a lover, then there would be one wolf (albeit one unknown) he wouldn't care to lose. It seems like an innocent idea, but it can be seen otherwise. I don't like his absoluteness about the plan. Basically he says, if you go with it, good, if not, you're suspicious.
Actually, his using of the innocents' ideas for voting would be an easy way for a wolf to hide - even if he voted for an innocent, he could claim he was relying on known innocents. He votes for Gurthang, apparently largely based on their lists. The three he said were most suspicious to him were Gurthang, Rune, and Lalaith - also a good place for a wolf to hide "I'm suspicious of my fellow wolf... but not going to help vote him out" - of course, he smartly (for a wolf) doesn't help Rune really either, in voting for Gurthang. Lalaith already had a vote, while Gurthang didn't. A vote for Gurthang is a much less obvious help... and also a possible wolf-on-wolf vote? Help one, vote for another that doesn't look likely to be lynched?
Suspicions of Gurthang and me; Lalaith and Sauce probably innocent. Vote for Gurthang, putting him in the lead with two votes (Ang and I had one). Okay, maybe wolf-on-wolf isn't so likely. Unless TGWBS was the Lover... that would seem like too obvious a move, though, since his wolves would probably start to figure this out.
ToDay, he points out Caran's dying words to look at me and Gurthang - enforcing his own suspicions with the words of an innocent. Then there's his vote for me, immediately after Sauce's... (with rather poor reasoning, might I add, for having more than 5 Days' worth evidence...) and right after saying Kath is more suspicious.
I'm seriously considering a vote for TGWBS toDay. He seems more suspicious than Sauce right now (I'm having trouble figuring out if I'm more annoyed with or suspicious of him right now... although I'm still considering him for a vote, as well). This took a lot longer than I had anticipated, and now I don't have as much time left to make up my mind, much less check other people out (most of whom posted much more than TGWBS).
