I'm the real hunt..

No. I'm not. I'm just getting a bit too confused.

Hope you'll excuse me for not being amused at all. I was already kind of starting to make sense of the two reveals when you turned the whole thing upside down again. The thing is, I can't see why an ordo would fake a reveal. If you wanted the hunter to come out so we had a known innocent, fine, so did many others, and that would almost make sense in some twisted way. Instead, you said you didn't want the hunter to reveal, so - what? I haven't thought this through yet, but this far I haven't come up with a plausible reason for an innocent to make a fake reveal. It would, though, make sense if you were a wolf almost facing the gallows and deciding to pose as Hunter to survive through yesterDay's voting (that would point to Zil's innocence?) and this Day. Then when the real Hunter comes out, you realise she's more credible than you, so you turn the whole thing around again and claim you're just an ordo who revealed as Gifted. Repeat: I haven't thought this through, in fact I'm still processing things, just wanted you guys to be aware of my thought processes.

That said, my massive collection of quotes I wanted to comment on has mostly lost its importance due to recent developments. A few things though.

A good point. If Skip is a baddie, he's most likely a wolf who took desperate measures to avoid getting lynched.

I have the feeling I'm seriously missing something, but unless I am, nobody had voted Inzil so how was his a self-preservation vote? Please someone tell me what I've missed.

But she does seem genuine. I don't know. I suppose my doubts of her innocence due to this point arise from the fact that I adisagree and don't think that what she's saying would be best for the village. That said, I've finally come to the conclusion that I think she's innocent, or at least innocent enough for me not to vote her unless something drastic happens before the end of the Day.
I don't know why but this passage struck me as strange, especially the underlined part. Not sure if I can explain it so that anyone can understand what I mean, but I'll try. Somehow, from the tone of that, it looks as if he knows Skip isn't the hunter even though he had said, in his previous post, that he believes the reveal. I know he's just making a scenario of under what conditions it would make sense for a Wilwawolf (wow, I love that word!) to disagree with Skip's reveal. Rather, in his scenario he is assuming Wilwawolf knows Skip is not the real hunter, but a wolf would have no way of knowing that! He is clearly not suggesting that Skip and Wilwa are fellows, though, either. What pops into my mind is that Eonwe is Skip's fellow, and the knowledge of that kind of slipped into Wilwawolf's thinking in his scenario.
