I can't see how Lalaith is suspicious. I think she sounds very innocent and reasonable and I don't think she's making an issue about Mith's comment. I don't see Mith as particularly suspicious either. I think their discussion about gifteds is one most probably between two innocents. Of course you can't be sure of anyone's innocence at this phase, but these two ladies don't ring my alarms right now.

You've obviously forgotten the disastrous possibility of a hunter (or a ranger) being against the seer.... *coughyouandDiamondkilledmormonce* Anyway, I think the situation is pretty equal; there is four (instead of the normal three) baddies and they have a helper, but in other hand, there's more ordos than normal and the faithfuls have only one kill per night, as Nogrod noted. (As a sidenote, I think that comment of his was a bit weird... I mean, it was kind of Noggie-like silent criticism about his side being outnumbered...)

I've been often persuaded (either by myself or my fellow villagers) to lynch an innocent Glirdy, since he's acting in an odd way, so I'll be a bit more careful this time. Whether he's innocent or guilty, he's weird. Keeping that in mind, I have nothing against him... yet. (No this does not mean I think we should not pay attention to him or not to try to analyse him, this just means that we should keep in mind that he often tends to seem very suspicious even when he's innocent.) I think some people are making a bit too big fuss about a first post...

Dog = wolf and I've not forgotten about Valier's werecats game, so what about lynching these two? Then we'd be done with 50% of the Faithfuls.

It is but little over three hours since Mac's body was discovered, and yet Roa and Nogrod are behaving as though it is a crime not to have posted yet. I agree that we want everyone to speak, but I hardly think it incriminating that there are a fair few who have not been able to do so thus far.

I disagree with you here. They've talked about silent posters, but I don't see the, as "behaving as though it is a crime not to have posted yet". I think they're their normal "speak up people"-selves. I can assure you they're far worse when they're really harsh on silent people...

Mänwe's totally weird, but not necessarily in a bad way. He's had some good points.

Rikae's quick vote on Mänwe is quite weird. I mean, she just comes, makes a few points, votes and leaves. Of course she might be in a hurry, but why didn't she say that. She might have tried to lay pressure on Mänwe to get him jumpy to see if he's a wolf or not, but I'm not too sure about that option. After all, there had been some pressure on him already. If she wanted to pressure test someone, why had she to choose Mänwe? Speaking of which I think his calmness speaks for his innocence.

Pretty much everyone seems their normal selves and I have hardly any suspicions. I'll reread the thread again next, and see if I can come up with anything more intelligent and original than this first-impression post...
