Kath, when you voted Sally, you had this to say:

++SALLY

Because of the comments around The Might mostly I think. We all know that everything we assume about who he dreamt of is just that, an assumption, so this seems an odd comment:

Quote:
I just felt the need to throw that out there.
Now, I disagree. I think Sally actually made quite a good suggestion. I believe it’s worth thinking about what the Might said again. In case people’s memories are getting hazy, here are the facts:

The Might did practically nothing the first Day, finally popping in to vote Nogrod (#50) on the grounds that it was his "instinct".

On the second Day, he made comments about four people:

He made a sudden about-face on Nogrod, again claiming it was based on “feeling” (#86).

He said he thought Legate was a good guy, but that this was based on examining his posts (#86).

(He states his support for these two again at #117.)

Apparently following Nogrod’s lead, he expressed suspicion of Macalaure (#91), which he repeated at #95, this time saying it was because

Still, he finds time 5 minutes later to post again in a quite defensive trying to explain why Nogrod and Gil ended up as those he suspected most.
He voted against Mac at #117.

In passing he said he found Kath suspicious, but didn’t say why (#117).

We know the Seer only dreamed twice before he was foully murdered, so no more than two of his comments can be based on direct knowledge. In the case of Legate and Mac, he gave only fairly slight reasons for his beliefs. For the other two, Kath and Nogrod, none at all.

He says he is

quite certain
about Mac (#117).

That sounds as if he doesn't have any special knowledge about Kath.

The consensus view (not sure who said what, and I don’t have time to check) seems to be that The Might probably dreamed of Nogrod (innocent), plus either Legate (innocent) or Mac (guilty).

That seems a reasonable conclusion, and yet– what’s really worrying me now is that when Sally said,

Besides Nogrod however, and even that is fuzzy, I am very uncertain as to who Might might have dreamed of. I just felt the need to throw that out there.
Kath suddenly went after her (#214).

So, I'm not liking the look of you right now, Kath.

I also want to look at Naria, if I have time.
