Aye but Fea said that we wouldn't find out who had won until it was down to 2 players, and if she's told us that the final wolf has died in the narration, how would that work?

So, who have we got left:
Anguirel
Diamond18
Kath
Mithalwen
Nogrod
the phantom
The Saucepan Man

Now, I'm going to remove my name because I'm sure of my own innocence (though not too sure since Fea is around ). I'm also going to remove Mith because if she is a wolf she is playing the best game I have ever seen from her. I've played with her Gifted, I know the panicked posts, the extreme defensiveness, I've seen none of it. I will also remove the phantom and Sauce because I just cannot form valid opinions on them until they've died.

Which leaves me with:
Ang
Di
Nogrod

Ang:
Starts off very blasé, going along with Boro and not minding who is lynched, or how. Does argue against phantom and his assertion that we shouldn't talk strategy, and then offers one of his own which indeed the wolves could have picked up on and made sure not to do. Possibly then a way to warn a fellow wolf (I'm assuming here that the wolves, while not a team, were not working at cross-purposes) but I'm not sure he'd be so obvious. Perhaps though, as he then argues with Sauce saying he believes the wolves to be on the same side. Began the 'grudge' idea, and mentioned that he had them against phantom, Boro and me. Of the three only Boro has died so if Ang is a wolf he's playing well with keeping his kills safe. Tries to think who could be a wolf, but comes up with no concrete answers. However, his most likely suspect was actually himself. A possible Fea-esque move here? Declare yourself as a wolf and see what happens? Disagrees with the phantom but thinks him innocent, and defends Esty somewhat.

Di:
Arrives with a bang, claiming grudges against Eomer and Boro, but thinking the phantom is the most likely wolf based on the fact that Fea is modding. Then defends Esty and repeats her grudge against Boro. Comes up with the 'Diamond is innocent' rule which was later leapt on as a sign of wolvishness because she did it before she was even suspected, and I think this is a fair point. It's one thing to defend yourself when you have 3 votes and possibly more coming, but she had nothing. And then she makes a very tongue in cheek comment about Fea not daring to break that rule, at the same time mentioning her tendency not to follow them. Odd that.

Taking too long this way. Ok, I've read through the rest but I won't bore you with it, you know it. Basic conclusions. Ang is having a ball, playing around with the rules and the silliness and the freedom this game brings. Di too actually. But Ang has stuck the odd helpful, serious and contemplative comment in on and off, which has been extremely rare from Di. Funny thing about Di is that, since I agree with Sauce that innocents are more expendable in this game than others and so are less likely to fight for life than a wolf, she does defend herself an awful lot. The innocence rule, trying to get Boro (I think) to take her stats down, mentioning her entertainment value.

With that in mind, and my need for an earlier night:

++ANGUIREL

Di may be taking me for a fool, but it's Ang I feel the danger comes from. He switched very suddenly from joking to serious, whereas Di has been consistent throughout.

Um, so I didn't do Nogrod. It was exhausting enough doing these two with the 11 pages we have so far. If both of us are alive tomorrow and the final wolf hasn't been found I'll look at him. From the skim reading I was doing through his posts I didn't find anything greatly suspicious. In general, if he's coming up with a thousand different solutions every post he tends to be innocent. But then, he knows this too.

Also, on the way through I noticed this from phantom:

And while we're on Kath- what's with her vote? She was in danger when she voted and rather than vote for one of the other leaders she threw away her vote on Esty.

Truthfully I wasn't concentrating, I probably hadn't even noticed the vote tally. But even if I had, what did it matter? Like I said I subscribe to Sauce's view that innocents are expendable. Sure, it's better to lynch a wolf, but at least you'd be taking down someone who isn't as helpful as, say, Ang when innocent and seeking wolves.

I won't be back toDay.
