Yes, I did ruminate over that, but nothing sprang out at me. I could not see anything that I thought significant that had not been picked up. Then again, I may have been missing the significance in something incredibly significant.

I haven't time to look back now, but will do so later if I get the chance. Let us know if you find anything in the meantime, TP.

Along this line of thinking, I'm wondering if maybe the WWs are killing off the least random/crazy people, and will let be individuals capable of madness and more unpredictable behavior. It would make sense after all. This is a village designed to be more random than others. If this is what the WWs are doing, then Nogrod and SPM won't live long. Mith and Di, on the other hand, have little to fear at night.
Yes, that's another thing that I was pondering. It's what prompted my thoughts on the division of the village between the unpredictable and the analytical. Problem, is that it can lead you either way. The Wolf may have been acting unpredictably both Day and Night, on its Mistress's instructions, or it may have been hiding its true nature during the Day and acting crazily only at Night.

Yup. Another thing that I considered when I reviewed the thread. Yet there still remains the possibility that the Wolves had incurred the Lady's displeasure at the end of Day 1 because they had not been acting sufficiently chaotically. That might be said to be true of Eomer, at least. And, of course, it's quite possible that there was no clue intended here at all.

That said, my own thoughts are turning towards Diamond. It does unnerve me somewhat that she always strives to tie the vote. On the one hand, it seems rather attention-grabbing for a Wolf. But, on the other, it is in keeping with her general approach to the game. Even an unpredictable Wolf has to make calculated choices to survive. What better way to cloak such Wolfish calcualtions than to present them as consistent with a generally random pattern of behavior?

And remember, phantom, when you warned Diamond that she would get herself lynched if she carried on the way she had been. Well, she has not really altered her behaviour, and yet she remains unlynched.

My one reservation is that I can't help feeling that she is too much the obvious choice for toDay ...

Still, it increases my confidence in you somewhat, phantom, that you and I are thinking along the same lines.
