[Thinlómien]

Alright then. I didn't use to pay much attention to Mac. I doubt anyone was. He was kind of staying in the background, making jokes, being nice, offering facts and maths. Being present but not too noticed. Exactly the position a wolf would like to have, may I say.

Then, I started thinking "all veteran loudmouths can't be innocent". A questionable statement, I know, and I won't discuss it further again. But what is important that thinking about it I was lead to thinking about Mac and realised I hadn't paid him almost any attention at all. He was hiding successfully.

I saw a few of his posts. What was he doing? Agreeing with people, especially Rikae the known Hunter and the known Macalaure-knower. I was like "arr he's just trying to avoid her attention and goes with the flow". I told him this. He pleasantly admitted it (that's what person of any role could do) and insisted he had added some points about people's activity. (Really Mac, can't you think of anything else? ) And then he retaliated by (carefully friendlily jokingly) accusing me of being generic in return. Not too innocent especially as he was kindly not really suspecting me in return. (That was like "oh yes I'm a big mighty wolf you can throw your petty suspicions at my direction but I won't mind we can still be friends before I eat you".)

I accused him of agreeing with people too much and what does he say? "I disagreed with Nogrod on Day1." Go Mac, that was pretty pitiful. And then he's just being a tad too easy and non-defensive to really be innocent. An innocent would be more on guard about attacks against him because he would be annoyed by their untruthfulness.

I don't like his quarrel with Boro. It hardly looks like both of them are innocent. And I happen to consider Boro rather innocent, so that's one more point against Mac. (Off-topic, if Boro is really evil - a cobbler doesn't count - I'll never trust him again.)

Then, the critical point.

No one can honestly say that's not wolvish. Really, the way he takes it so jokingly and easily and smoothly just sets all my radars beeping. This is not helped at all by the fact that Rikae says that that is exactly the kind of thing Mac would say to her as a wolf. And what about his next reaction - pretending he doesn't get it or gets sceptic:

Eeee this is not a point against Mac but if he's a mutineer, then it would be worth looking at Shasta and Sally(/Gwath):

ToDay, nothing special. Except that I think he'd be a tad more aggressive and defensive than he is now if he was innocent. The innocent seldom have such ever-lasting patience and joking mood he's displaying.

LYNCH HIM I say. I have nothing to add in his defense except two things - he's not the likeliest of us to miss a kill accidentally and he was taking a huge risk by attacking Rikae who threatened to hunt him but then again he knows her better than any of us others so he would've been able to judge better if she was serious or not.


edit: xed with Greenie - arr I really don't want patting on the head or being called an innocent fanatic and ignored I want Macalaure to be lynched 'cos if he's not evil I'll eat my head! Seriously. I just think my obsession isn't doing any good to my case.
