It seems to me that, based on these reasons and given that it was Day 1, her vote for
Noggie yesterDay was quite reasonable. I have myself noted his tendency to exagerrate things to make cases against people. And it's fair to say that his early suspicions yesterDay did focus on those who had already come under some scrutiny. So, I would have expected her to prod and probe him further toDay. But she has done nothing of the sort. Instead, she has backed off and turned instead to the 'submarines', perhaps because they will put up less of a fight.
Looking back on her posts, however, what struck me most was her list at
#194. First off, it's one of those lists which says very little. Most of the comments are of the 'seems innocent' or 'too little to go on' variety. Her main substantive points are against
Nog, not surprising given her previous vote for him, and
Roa, who she thinks "so sensible it frightens" her (which could be an attempt to win favour by flattery). I don't like these kinds of list as they give the impression of helpfulness without actually saying much of anything at all. Which is potentially Wolfish behaviour. Second, she says of
sally in this list that there is 'too little to go on', and yet ends up voting for her, without
sally having said anything more, because she was "maybe the most evil-looking of the submarines" (#215). From nothing to go on to maybe the most evil of the quiet ones with little reasoning that I can see in between? Hmm.
I have made up my mind.
