Sorry to take so long. Busy, net went down, maniac discussion headache-inducing.
Some thought on your thoughts,
O Shasta, my peerless one:

My jewel, I think she simply hadn’t noticed
Zil's post.
However, she then goes to say:

I kind of see the Maniac as a potential cobbler/hunter hybrid, a wildcard as Boro put it.

Which
could be interpreted as a wolfy, “Hey Maniac, why not join us?”

It ends up being Lommy, followed by Legate and Nerwen.

Okay, but, as
Kit notes it was also
Boro who first brought up the idea of the Maniac being a “wild card” (#14). So what I said about
Kit also applies somewhat here– could this possibly be a subtle hint to the Maniac?
Quote:
Lommy floats the idea of the Maniac revealing. Gut reaction - I don't like it. If the Maniac reveals, the wolves won't attack them (and thus lose one of their number). We'd have a known innocent, sure - but is that worth it?
(Greenie mentions the same in #32.)
Legate coming down on the side of the plan makes me twitch a bit, especially since he crossed with Lommy nixing her own plan.

The penguin's plan does sound like something a baddie might want to put forward– however, that’s not really the vibe I’m getting from her, especially once she starts flip-flopping. Meanwhile,
Legate goes on and on exploring unlikely scenarios, such as the “best-case” of a wolfish counter-reveal on Day One… I don’t know what to make of this.
EDIT:X’d with Boro and Cop.
