After a process of elimination of kinds - which I may be forced to explain a little later - I have come to two main candidates for being ducks.

I find Dury the most suspicious right now. Her self-proclaimed status as a duck-tracker sounds the most dubious at the moment. My other top suspect is Lari. Let me tell you why.

Dury announced yesterDay that:

Making a bit too much noise about her having a role comparable to Izzy's "Seer Tracker"? So a nice "symmetrical" role or at least pointing out there being different "trackers" around lending credibility to her revealment? Interestingly enough Izzy was then told being the "Seer's Apprentice"... Which, as Dury rightly remarks, is quite a different thing.

I do not think this is making a mountain out of a molehill. For just why did she pick the term "tracker" to her role? It is possible Sally had given her that term but what a coincidence it then was that Izzy used the same term even if she was "an apprentice" in the first place... but understandable if Dury is faking.

But what initially made me suspect her role was the fact that a duck might pretty easily claim to be a "duck-tracker" as she would have the knowledge of how the numbers went being one of the bunch herself. And there would be some reasons to stick with the truth there as not to make any mistakes - but if she is indeed a duck then we should take those numbers with a pinch of salt.
(She isn't giving us less ducks than there are because there would be at least three of them then and they would have won already - so the question becomes: would she benefit of trying to make us believe there are more ducks there actually are?)

What about her very succesful voting record then? I think the ducks could afford that with their numbers steadily rising - and let's remember: on Day2 it was basically clear Lommy was going to get lynched so she had no good choices; and on Day3 Nienna and Kath were leading the votes together so she had only bad choices there and decided to defend the mother Goose... which would be an obvious choice.


Lari might be the hunter and might be not. The thing that talks on behalf of her being true is the fact that no one else has yet claimed to be a hunter and no hunter has been killed so far. But looking at Sally's list of the roles in this game there is only a "possible hunter" - as there is a "possible werebear", which we didn't have either.

Lari's problem with me sure is her voting record of going against our successful lynches quite consistently and avoiding discussion somewhat as to not show her cards (I need to check if my feeling of the last point about avoiding discussion indeed holds, when I have time).


Uh-oh. Just saw Nilp's vote... He is no duck as we know but let's hope now he is indeed the cobbler (if there is one left). *crosses fingers*
