First she just speculates game mechanics - differences between the weight of reps, and possible uses of filibuster; seer's province (why? Would the seer risk him-/herself just to save one known innocent?) or someone's who's wishing to avoid lynching, especially wolves' - later she voted against filibuster. Then she suggested that as the game progresses, it might be good to have a method of empowering reps so as to mitigate a charismatic wolf from ruling the reps. Now that I think of it, I don't quite understand what that means. Could you explain?
She also agreed that a limited number of reps would be necessary, and suggested seven.

On her list of suspicions she said eg. she's naturally highly suspicious of Brinn because everybody seems to trust her (explained later: she got two votes so early but Ilya couldn't remember if there was anything else she was afraid of about her). Di's post felt weird to her. All Legate's posts made sense but there were too many of them. Suggested it's a good idea to vote both loudmouths and lurkers for reps, but we should "let at least one experienced writes-a-lot have the power to vote, so that all the reps can't fall back on tp's or Legate's or Shasta's Day 2 arguments." Now, how could all the reps do that since everybody is allowed to talk and make suggestions, anyway?

She voted Boro for her rep despite being not quite sure about him, but his logic is sound and points worth consideration. Not sure if it's just me but I think there's something too nice in this reasoning.

She said she wouldn't want to vote anyone who already had one vote (Eönwë, Gwath, Legate).
Then there's post #407 which looks worth a look but I don't have time for it now.

I find this ignorant if not downright suspicious - it's rather she who's parroting what other people (Boro) have said instead of checking the facts herself. She's throwing a thing in the open without a comment of her own, like, "Look at this and reach your own conclusions! *wink wink*", and that's something I don't particularly like. Besides, before Boro people had just said Lommy and I were probably innocent, and it's weird how quickly Ilya's opinion changed (from not knowing what to think but apparently not finding very suspicious to suspecting) after accusations had seemingly started to pop up.
This is one thing I found suspicious about her, too.

A question - when you said "Agan has been a little hard to follow," did you mean Legate or me since you had us two confused in your post anyway?

After Legate started to seem like the obvious lynch, she said she needed another reread before making up her mind. She said she didn't feel she had enough to go for Eönwë or Gwath. Then a quote which I find suspicious:

Voted Legate with a quote

I'm still not satisfied, but Boro is right. The reality of a death may tell us more about our reasoning than keeping someone around and doing more guesswork.
Sorry I'm just posting quotes instead of summarizing things myself but I just don't have the time.

Cab struck her as a safe kill.

Edit: Will stick around for tp's list, because I want to see an alternative view to the gut suspicious I had of Agan.
That was about it.

I will be xing with everybody since my last post. I read quickly what's been posted in the meanwhile and vote for a rep, and then I must run or my friend will kill me.
