Whoops, that was fast, Greenie...

Okay, but as for me, as I intended, I have now looked at LRH and Nessa to get some clearer idea about them...

So, first, Elrond-Hubby:

Day 1 - on Lottie's list of why everyone should be lynched, reacts with saying that she's being "a tad unfair", to which Nerwen reacts with joke-vote for her and Lommy with not-as-much-joke note about that being "typical newbie wolf mistake", to which LRH reacts with a bit of defence about simply newbie mistake.

Then continues with a bit of sad impression, whether acted or serious, "am I supposed to be the first innocent to be lynched?", later changing to cheering Lottie for her "support". Vote for Nerwen with not much reasoning behind it.

Generally: her vote is neutral, as much as basically everybody's was at that point. Her remarks and behaviour could be a deliberate Wolf action like "poor me" and later trying to "buddy up" with Lottie in order to get a supporter. If there is anything suspicious about her, it would be this.

Day 2: Does not like my reasoning and Lommy's (? not sure what exactly, maybe simply "unfriendly"), but says that she might be wrong. Later is confused by the Heir and hunter-reveal, but generally thinks lynching Lottie is okay. At some point, when Nog spoke against it, it seems she started considering what he said, but then Lottie was clearly going to be lynched and so she just followed suit.

Generally: not so much to go with, a bit of a wishy-washy behavior. I could see a Wolf possibly starting to consider Nog's idea in order to avoid lynching a Hunter (and thus giving the innocents the Heir and risking a Wolf being killed), but not sure what would she have expected of that, so I think that does not really bring any point. I will be very interested to see her post more.

Nessa:

Day 1 - some general remarks, saying WWs could vote W-on-W in this situation as they'd look innocent and also get the Heir, speculating about which role to lynch, later resigning and suggesting going with random-vote, then going for the uncommunicative, saying that everybody wants to be nice because of the Heir, suspecting Eomer, Nog and Nerwen, voting Nerwen.

Generally: If she was a Wolf, I could see some strategy in e.g. the advocating of lynching the uncommunicative (provided that her fellows were not among the uncommunicative), or in using the speculations about the lynch for her ends (now the question'd be what exactly those ends would be). But by itself, it does not mean anything.

Day 2 - saying WWs possibly went for sally because of her vote (for Lommy), speculating about the outcomes of lynching the Hunter, then throwing in the idea about Nerwen or sally being gifteds, only we don't know about it; and later being "all for hunter-revealment" (although in right the next post, she asked what Lottie meant when she voted herself). Voted Lottie.

Generally: There's not really anything that could be labeled as "suspicious", in my opinion. Her few moments of confusion sort of speak more for her innocence too (although she can be a confused Wolf as well, it just seems less probable).

Altogether, I don't find either of these two especially suspicious or especially innocent. I also cannot somehow imagine that they would be Wolves together (though that's more like just a "feeling of compatibility", anything is possible). They are in some way similar to each other (but maybe that's the newbie status of them in my eyes). Generally, I'd like to see more from them to get some better idea.

Otherwise, I think I might take a look at some other people too, when I am at it. I concur with Eomer's remark about Zil, that's what I meant about him sort of seeming to take the role of "Mr. Agreeable" (although this particular post does not strike me as much, but in some yesterDay ones it seemed to me more like that).

Off to browse the thread a bit...
