I'm having trouble pegging anyone in this village toDay. Usually by now there's someone I'm convinced is a wolf. Ah well, let's try the old method of a quick look at each person and see what's actually going on in my head.
Brinniel - Another newbie, which causes me difficulties. She is playing on her newbie status as much as Hookbill and Legate, but she has made (I think) fewer posts and she is rather inconsistent. Day 1 she started off looking at Manwe and made a sudden switch to Rikae, and she's been backwards and forwards over Hookbill from the beginning. She actually looks quite suspicious, and if she is a wolf I wonder whether Hookbill is one too. After all she mentions him daily but always seems to find someone slightly more suspicious to vote for.
Durelin - She seems to be playing differently to usual. More talk, more actual involvement in the game. This seems suspicious to me simply because as a wolf people are often more inclined to post, to keep up with what's going on so they can influence it. Her suspicion of Mith also makes me suspicious of her as I mentioned earlier.
Gil - I would say innocent. That comment about the wolves having killed Glirdan when it was clearly stated in the narration that he'd 'committed suicide', I can't believe a wolvish Gil would say it.
TGWBS - I'm barely going to comment. Right now I find him unbelievably suspicious but I strongly suspect that that is due to a large difference in playing style and old history. So I'm going to ignore him until I can look at him with fresh eyes.
Hookbill - There is a definite newbie quality to his posts. The one where he was surprised that people seemed to be randomly suspecting him certainly supports that. He does repeat that he is a bad judge of character an awful lot of times, but his frivolity and his consistency over being suspicious of Manwe speaks in his favour to me. He has also recently stopped mentioning his bad character judgement and started making some informed points about people. I am inclined to think him innocent.
Kitanna - I don't feel to have seen enough from her to really form an opinion (hey! now I know how you guys feel about me
), but her preoccupation with things being 'logical' speaks to me of innocence. The only thing that's throwing me slightly is that she had such a good reason for her vote on Day 1. Garin did make himself look extremely suspicious on Day 1, and it would be an easy thing for a wolf to pick up on and use to their advantage. For now though I think she's innocent.
Lalaith - Has posted far more than I thought she had. One thing that is good about her to me was her realisation on Day 1 that she was wrong to ask Rikae to reveal who she'd dreamt of. But then she is the first (I think) to suggest that it's odd that the wolves would have tried to kill Rikae knowing the Ranger could be protecting her, although she does change her mind on this later, deciding that in fact it is the most likely scenario. I really can't work out what I feel about her.
Legate - I didn't like his mediating on Day 1, and he has subsequently stopped that, but if you read his posts he also constantly mentions the fact that he's new at this and is learning the ropes. This was picked up in Hookbill but not so much for Legate, and I wonder at the inconsistency. However, I think there was genuine unsureness from him about the exact role of the Cobbler. Now, that doesn't mean he isn't a wolf but there's just something about his posts that catches me as being ... wrong somehow. I can't explain this one, but I do find him suspicious.
Manwe - Odd. Day 1 he was very vocal, but has sinced calmed down a lot. I wonder whether this was excitement over being a wolf, and then during the Night his fellows told him to tone it down a bit. And there's this:

Emphasis mine, but what's with the three? I thought maybe a typo for 'there' but that doesn't make any sense either. Three fellows? Definitely someone to keep an eye on.
Mith - As I said earlier I think she's innocent. Her immediate belief in Rikae and subsequent support of her is to her credit. There was some comment over her wanting to have lynched Glirdan yesterDay, but it does actually make sense. I think she underestimated the effect Roa could have had on the village were she left alive, but I don't think she had any wolvish intent in trying to stop her being lynched.
Nogrod - We know is innocent.
Rune - I am becoming more suspicious of the more of his posts I read through. Day 1 he said he would not play safe, because he didn't think a risk factor should be a deciding variable, but he then proceeds to vote Garin, which at the time was a pretty safe bet. If he had gone with Legate as indeed he said he probably would that would almost have been a less safe bet and more attention would have been drawn to him because of it. He also then said leaving Roa alive for another Day would be the safest bet, something I strongly disagree with, and he didn't seem to have any reason for it either. Then he lessens the suspicion he had on Legate before proceeding to vote for him. Finally his growing suspicion of Lommy is odd. There seems to be very little reasoning behind it bar some kind of reaction to the fact that she suspected him. Basically, I think he's very suspicious.
Sauce - Constant arguing and long posts is the norm for him, as is keeping an eye on the votes. To me he feels to be behaving normally, though of course he behaves 'normally' as a wolf as well. At the moment I think he's innocent, and that he and Nogrod simply have very opposite viewpoints.
Lommy - (you wouldn't believe how long it just took me to find your posts, I was searching the members list for Lommy for a good 5 minutes before I realised what I was doing
). Anyway, well, I asked for flood-posting and I certainly got it! To me Lommy has been making sense. There are some things I disagree with her over (Mith's Glirdan theory not making sense for one) but for the most part I think she's posting clearly and sensibly. For now I'm going to consider her innocent. I've just noticed Mith saying what Lommy said about Glirdan looks suspicious ... I think she's talking in retrospect Mith.
So, finally, this is what I've come up with:
Suspicious (not in order):
Brinniel
Durelin
Legate
Manwe
Rune
Innocent:
Gil
Hookbill
Kitanna
Mith
Nogrod
Sauce
Lommy
No idea yet:
Lalaith
TGWBS
Of those I am suspicious of the one that I most strongly suspect is Rune, and as it is now only half an hour from the deadline I will vote.
