Thin Day 1
1st post - Doesn't think Lalaith or Mith is suspicious, points out that the hunter may still kill the seer, thinks the game is equal, finds statement by Nogrod about the wolves having just one kill odd, says she has nothing against Glirdan, banter about Roa and Nogord dynamic, disagrees with SPM about Roa and Nogrod being harsh on the silent, thinks Manwe's weird but has some good points, thinks Rikae's vote on Manwe is weird, thinks Manwe's calmness speaks for his innocense, doesn't have any real suspicions
2nd post - Thinks this is the most paranoid Day 1 ever.
3rd post - thinks that TGWBS idea to look at the quiet ones is good, questions why she is on Holby's list, has to vote early, Votes Rikae, says she's the biggest suspect she has, thinks she jumps on Manwe too early, considers it a fact that there is very little to go on until Day 2, also keeping an eye on Durelin.
While I typically expect more from Thin, she did explain that she would have trouble being present for Day 1. Less "frothy" than usual, but again, she had less time... Honestly, I don't see anything out of place here. I'm starting to get suspicious just because of that.
Basically, she offers commentary on evrything that's been an issue up until her arrival, in typical Thin fashion. As for the placement of her vote- Wolves tend for the middle, rather than the begining. She wasn't the first to find Rikae's vote odd, so I don't think she could be painted as the starter.
Briniel Day 1
1st post - Points to Newbieness, says she's been observing for a while, and will try her best, would rather observe Manwe a little before pointing fingers at him, thinks Hookbill is a little nervous about the accusations.
2nd post - doesn't really suspect anyone at this point, still feels hesitant about accusing Manwe
3rd post - wishes she had more time to think about things, had a first thought but is now looking at Garin too, decides to stick with her instinct and Votes Rikae, has to leave.
All Newbies have different ways of starting. Some, like Manwe, are very bold. Some, like Brinniel it would seem, are more thoughtful. I dislike it when newbies point it out, but she only said so once, and it seemed like more of an apology than an attempt for pity. I did find her comment to Hookbill odd, and I wish she had given more reasoning behind her vote for Rikae, but at this moment, I'm not sure she should be lynched for it.
As for the others who voted for Rikae, Garin is dead, and you all know what I think of SPM.
I will say this, though- if not for his vote, Rikae would not have had to reveal. This was after she returned and explained herself, and he was the only one who refused to believe her, and the case against her had almost as little backing as the one against Nogrod. It seems like he picked on her out of all the others who voted for Manwe (including Durelin, who voted first, and clearly had enough time to return, which was something that SPM said against Rikae.)
Back with Manwe voters in a little bit.
