Macalaure:
Post 10 – an ‘if’ post. Basically saying what he would or would not do as a lover. This is often viewed as suspicious because he now has to do is act in a slightly different way to what he set out as his behaviour if he was a lover. Says he’s let Lhuna’s assertion that she will vote randomly pass for toDay. If we’re going for pure association he and Lhuna could be the last pair, mentioned but not overly suspected.

Post 29 – defends Lommy a little and is correct in asserting that there is no connection between Lommy and Holby as we now know. Makes no decision on Farael. Finds Rune to be behaving oddly for attacking Farael so strongly.

Post 35 – says that though he fins Farael most suspicious he will vote for Rune in order to create a little competition. Now if he and Farael are the last lover pair how perfect that scenario was. Oh, I won’t vote for my lover for the good of the village. Here also begins the assertions of innocence.

Post 66 – much about how the odds are against us. Talks of the bandwagon against Rune (and my Mac but could you have made that any more confusing? I thought you were talking about what had happened during the Night for ages so nothing made any sense!) and says that the fact that both Naria and arcticstorm voted for him was odd seeing as they were a couple. How so Mac? Some suspicion of Holby and Fin, again doesn’t pass any judgement on Farael.

Post 69 – makes lists, and strangely puts Fin on the innocent list. Little flip flop there or did I misread the earlier bit? Is suspicious of Valier and Holby due to their votes. Points out that Lommy seems overly sure of Lhuna’s innocence. It is possible that, due to Lommy’s staunch defense of Lhuna for much of her life, Lhuna could be a lover and have killed Lommy as it seemed safe, in which case it seems unlikely that Mac would be the other half of that pair as pointing out the plan would be a bit bold.

Post 81 – defends morm against Farael and is against the ‘lynch all the males plan’. Fair enough really him being male and all and the fact that in this case allowing yourself to be lynched if you are innocent isn’t really going to help the village much, but of course if he is a lover it’s a good self-preservation argument as well.

Post 83 – defends himself very calmly. If he’s a lover then this makes sense, having seen the reactions the previous Day to being overly defensive. Explains his vote for Rune, which I mentioned earlier.

Post 85 – answering Farael’s questioning about why morm wasn’t killed. Another ‘if’ post.

Post 93 – mild attack on Lommy for putting people in groups based on feelings only.

Post 102 – decides not to vote Lommy because he doesn’t want to spread the votes. This may be true, but I wonder whether it was so he didn’t get accused of a knee-jerk reaction, which is what his basis of accusation against Valier is. Decides not to vote Farael or Holby because he is finding them less suspicious so votes Valier for her previous vote.

Post 117 – says he’ll look at Farael but really the lovers are likely to be two females now, putting us off the scent? Then he says if we use these two days to lynch him and Farael the village loses. Now, how does he know Farael isn’t a lover? Or perhaps, he does know Farael is a lover and is defending him. I’m sorry, I can understand my logic here but I’m not sure if anyone else can. He’s saying the village will lose if he and Farael die. So it’s like he knows that Farael is innocent. He can’t know this, not unless he’s the Watcher and we know he’s not. Anyway, asks Valier to speak more and asks Farael why he went after Rikae so quickly.

Post 120 – does a little analysis of Farael and finds him innocent although he finds many questionable things along the way. As to the ‘would a lover be that outspoken with a point’ I can only say YES from previous experience.

Post 123 – does another little list and has Valier as suspicious, no idea about Rikae, and the rest appearing as innocent. Which, unless we’re counting Rikae as his second suspicion, leaves him with one too many innocents.

Post 127 – returns with analyses of Durelin and Lhuna. Now thinks Durelin is flying under the radar and Lhuna less innocent than she appeared to him before.

Right now I think Mac is guilty. I think he could very well be in a pair with Farael due to the ‘he’s suspicious but not too suspicious’ talk that’s been going on there.

However, I have also become a little suspicious of Lhuna along the way. If she is guilty I don’t believe Mac is for the reasons mentioned above.

Alright, now, I admit that I went into this with the pre-conceived idea that Mac is guilty. Therefore I welcome any and all opinions on this because I know it’s biased.
