A lot has been talked about the Lottie-wagon but there has been a relative silence as to what makes that wagon suspicious in the first place. Voting an innocent is not a mark of suspiciousness as such - we all do it all the time.
That means we should also consider why voting Lottie was suspicious if we say it is suspicious.
To my mind there are two things of some importance in any bandwagon in general.
Firstly if there is a kind of consensus about who to lynch it is easy for the wolves to blend in. Especially if they have been careful enough earlier not to make too elaborate points on other people so as not to look like making a 180.
This could fit the last voters of Lottie.
Secondly they might wish to join a rising tide in hopes of saving their mate from trouble.
The only competition for Lottie was Wilwa so this could fit those who voted to bring Lottie even and past her. Also if Wilwa is a wolf, the wolves might have felt uneasy with Boro's vote and thus be more inclined to kill him at Night.
The problem for me is that at least now I don't feel Wilwa to be especially suspicious, but that is in no way an informed position. I need to check her posting a bit more closely when I come back.
