I just spent several hours taking 20+ pages of notes (and now probably won't be going to bed), so now I'm going to post these notes (though more briefly), which are basically summaries of what everyone has said (minus less important points) along with my thoughts (in italics).

I'm a bit exhausted, so hopefully my thoughts won't be too unclear and let me know if I misinterpreted anything. Btw, I'm not analysing every detail because that's just too lengthy. Anyways, beware of flood posting...I'm about to do it:

Analysis of Volo:

Day 1

#13: States quiet will probably be lynched Day 1 or 2. He'd rather lynch quiet ones over the loud ones if he has no good suspicions.

#39: Clarifies that if a loud ordo is lynched Day 1, a quiet will be lynched Day 2 because there's more to analyse about louder players on Day 3. Thinks Legate is too friendly.

#42: Disagrees with Fea: "Day 1s are not for outright assuming that random votes are the best solution"

#49: Wonders if Legate has "waterproof points" or "holds the voice of Saruman." In a response to Legate's comment, he considers voting Valier to see what she is (in the possibility that Green might be evil too, I think)

#116: Votes Valier. Explains in #118 that her vote was too desparate.

#129:Makes a list:
Leaning Good: Lommy, Menel, Mac, Might, Morm
Neutral: Aganzir, Fea, Brinn, Sally, Farael, Shasta, Kuru, Kath, Nerwen
Leaning Evil: Legate, Green, Valier, Rikae

Notes: My suspicions on him yesterDay were more of a hunch than anything. I remember finding his first posts confusing, then he goes back and explains. While Volo seems to suspect Legate so much, he seems to begin considering voting Valier based on a comment he made ("*Notes down: if she [Green] and Valier are the wolves, this would be very good move."). I find it a bit strange that while he finds Legate worrisome, he still seems to follow his word.

Day 2

#154: Lommy is hurrying to understand the wolves- similar to what she did when she was a wolf herself. But he does agree that Valier was probably thought to be seer.

Considers that if Valier was thought as seer, then morm is guilty. Or she was kill because she left no-trails and one wolf is "sporty"

I disagree. Valier left a nice big trail...to morm. Of course, maybe you mean no trails to the wolves. Still waiting to find out what "sporty" means...

#160: Doubts Valier would be killed as a seer if morm is not a wolf. Asks Rikae why she changed her style from the last game (before saying Day 1 was a waste, now saying it's useful). He says he's sure Lommy's been seered upon and doesn't suspect her.

Question: What makes you think that Lommy's been seered upon (I'm assuming you mean dreamt of)? I think it's more likely morm was dreamt of...

Conclusion: While I don't see anything that makes Volo obviously suspicious, I still find some posts a bit strange (which I commented on above). I'm still not sure about him.

EDIT: X-ed with Legate, Mac, Green, Legate
