My earlier, rather incomplete case can be found
here. I'm not going to discuss things already treated with there unless I have something new to add.
Ilya's been flip-flopping a bit. In 407 she said she will vote for the one she's the most suspicious of, but a little before she had noted she didn't want to vote anyone who already had a vote (including
Legate). In 407 she explained her reasons for not wanting to vote those three people, though. The only person she mentioned apart from them was me (and my backing off of
Lommy which parroted what a lot of other people had said etc etc), which, given the context, seems to suggest she was considering voting for me.
She admitted her
Legate vote was bandwagoning, and said it looks fishy because it's safe, but she also suggested her newbieness might have to do with it. The latter was a remark I didn't particularly like but that's been discussed already. However, I just realised that one reason I didn't like it was that she doesn't play like one might expect a newbie to play but comes up with things herself and suspects people, at least to some extent.
Also, she kind of put the blame of her joining the bandwagon on
Boro; "..to do exactly what
Boro did to me yesterday: cast a vote with authority, and convince me to jump on the bandwagon."
She didn't know what to make of the
Agan/
Lommy brawl and feels there's something wrong in there. Also, she was suspicious of me for a reason she didn't know (later told she had found my reasons for voting
Brinn for rep weird, especially that "she won't be the centre of attention" part, but they didn't feel as suspicious anymore now that she knew where her suspicions came from).
Ilya planned to vote
Rune for rep, but when
Lommy received three votes, she said she could vote
Boro instead so there would be two people with three votes.
As for her suspicions today, she said that if
Eönwë doesn't start posting with more substance she might get suspicious, she had a gut thing against me,
Nog made her raise her eyebrows with his contradictory stuff, and she was not exactly suspicious but watchful towards
Brinn. She voted the reasonable & reasonably funny
Rune for rep.
Ilya is pretty quick to admit it if she has made mistakes (ie suspicious things). That's generally a good thing I guess, but
Rune also had a valid point when he said

I can agree with
Lommy that
Ilya has looked much more innocent today. However I have no idea if that is because her fellows have had a chance to give her advice in the night or if she's just got more used to the game. Her defense and the reasons she gave for the things she did look pretty genuine though, and she kept her cool pretty well even when accused.
I'm not very concerned about her right now. Still going to keep an eye on her, but I don't think I'm going to vote her.
