Hm, well. A couple of thoughts -
for me, at least, the CoD lynch seems like just too much of a windfall. I can't help but wonder how much of a wolf-on-wolf component may be involved in it. I suppose, as Sally points out, Izzy and McCobbler's votes look the most wolvish from that standpoint, but perhaps Mac or Mith decided to risk sacrificing a fellow to look good in the eyes of the village - I wouldn't rule it out.

I still don't like the looks of Boro. I like them less and less, in fact - he seems generally too smooth, as if he is trying to win allies, and at the same time, his case against Sally looks rather trumped up to me. After all, however you try to spin it, he made a rather frantic-looking effort to save CoD before DL yesterDay, and now he goes after Sally for her doubts about CoD as a lynchee. Well, Sally's doubts, to me, look just like what I would have been thinking, had I been around at the time - the truth is, there really wasn't a whole lot of solid reasoning behind the lynching, wolf or no wolf - it looked just like the typical "lynch the oddball on day 1" fiasco. Voting for Day One, actually, was something I considered doing myself yesterDay, after hearing everyone go on and on about how awful it was.

One other thought - Brinniel continues to look very innocent and sincere. In fact, she seems almost to be playing up the sincerity thing, now that it's been pointed out - but perhaps that's just paranoia on my part.

EDIT: X'd two Macs. (Edited again when I realized I mentioned cross-posts that actually weren't)
