REVIEW OF LOTTIE
Day 1 early-
Lottie banters. Whatever. She always does. I usually don't put much stock in early banter by serial banterers.
Day 1 later-
Lottie makes her first serious post and attempts to appear unconcerned with death and takes a shot at
Manwe (our eventual lynch).
Nerwen soon after makes a nice point about how
Lottie's post curiously assumes the innocence of
Nog and
Shasta.
Day 2 early- Makes a
list. Critical of
Lommy and
Boro.
Day 2 later- Backs
Nogrod. Says
Phantom as Cobbler makes
Lommy look better, which is odd seeing as a Cobbler has no clue who the Wolves are, so why would a Cobbler attack indicate innocence? Says that leaves her prime suspect at
Boro.
Day 2 later still- Continues to defend
Nog as best she can (in particular talking with me) but eventually votes against him after
Agan's "I'm Luthien!" trap.
Day 3- Ah, I see
Lommy actually brought up the same points from Day 2, and
Lottie attempts to answer them. Her explanations aren't complete nonsense. I do at least put stock in her assertion that Cobbler is probably ruled out for her. She's either innocent or Wolf. Her comment about
Fea not being a strong Seer candidate seems to imply that she's gone over people with a Seer comb, though of course even innocents do that sometimes.
Day 3 later- Says she's okay with offing
Lommy or
Nessa, but prefers the latter. Moves to a more firm
Nessa position. Votes to cause the tie. In her defense it easily could have been a cross-post, but of course if she had been keeping track of who was around and which way they were likely to vote she could've seen it coming.
Day 4 early- Her reaction to
Ang placing her in a pack of three is to defend herself
and the others. I may be mistaken, but a more innocent reaction would be to fear that you are being tied to Wolves, since they do like to tie themselves to innocent (to bring them down if they happen to fall). I would think an innocent would be a bit more paranoid about that possibility, where as a brilliant Wolfish response might be to appear innocent by defending everyone involved and in the process possibly win over those you are linked to, which goes back to the Wolves linking themselves purposefully with innocents.
After the lynch (both yesterday and today) she seems quite apologetic about causing the double, which might make me more suspicious of her. I mean, she did say that she could see lynching both of them, and she certainly favored
Nessa dying and her vote killed
Nessa, so why be sorry? I can only assume it's a show for appearances.
So okay, you know what? Going into this reread I really don't think I had much of a bias, but
Lottie now is looking quite bad to me.
