Yet it does the opposite and then is brought up half way through Day 2 until attempted to be hushed).

I find this comment from THE Ka a bit off, given that she seconded Inzil calling Kit’s slip “curious” and so was instrumental in bringing it up in the first place; as long as it was only Inzil and no one else reacting to what he said, there was still hope it could be left alone. THE Ka didn’t take part in the later actual discussion about this with Kit herself, and was mostly ignored by people who called the whole thing suspicious. Her bringing it up now as something unrelated to herself – something that was “brought up half way through Day 2” – rubs me the wrong way. As I said before, though, if Inzil is a wolf I doubt Ka is, as two wolves seconding each other on poking at a potential Gifted would be brazen to the point of suicidal.

I think this makes sense, actually – I mean Lottie’s theory, not necessarily Lommy’s conspiracy theory (though I agree it would be hilarious).

At that time, I was still fixed on the Rikae-as-possible-Seer idea, and Mac was the only one of their suspects I thought had a shot at being lynched.
Huey was not really on my radar, mainly because it seemed every time I tried to scan one of his posts my brain muttered "what is he talking about?"
I was highly tempted to vote him after I saw Kit, because I was 99% sure she wasn't evil. Then Pitch and Lottie voted for him and I was not going to throw in with people who had been talking about lynching me. Petty, yes. Sorry.

Not sure I buy this. The Mac suspicion and wanting to lynch him is fair enough, but that last bit? First off, I’m confused by Inzil’s whole thing with Kit and why he brought her up in the first place if he was “99% sure she wasn’t evil”. Or did he only come to this conclusion after she had basically confessed to giftedness? I feel like there was already something about this somewhere but my brain is getting muddled. Second eyebrow-raise though – even if he concluded Kit was innocent, the Ranger doesn’t know anything more than anyone else so again, the only thing you’ll know from following her vote is that she won’t deliberately try to lead you astray. If he didn’t supect Huin, considering voting for him because Kit did so too doesn’t really make sense.

That said, Lalaith said basically the same thing, except she actually did go ahead and vote for Huin. I don’t necessarily agree with the argument, but as I said before, voting for a fellow wolf while saying you don’t really want to would be a strange move for a wolf – especially if (as in Lal’s case) you had another option open too.

To answer the first point – I’m not sure if it counts as a “happy jump” on Brinn given that pretty much all I’d done the entire day was waver between Mac and Brinn. As for the second – that’s a fair question. In short, I could have gone either way but in the end thought the argument against Mac was stronger. Long version? I could see a possible scenario where innocent Brinn gets suspected over some unfortunate wordings early on, goes increasingly on the defensive, and then gets increasingly suspected for ensuing jumpiness; whereas I couldn’t think of a scenario where innocent Mac gets this level of paranoid about being implicated by a Night kill, or comes up with complicated theories about Cobbler55 thinking him a possible wolf dreamed by a Seer Rikae and then discusses this as connected to a theory that the wolves thought Rikae’s death implicates him and therefore he is being framed. Like, even if the wolves had picked up on G55’s supposed pegging of Mac as a Seer-dreamed wolf, surely they would have ignored this (or at least, not taken it as a sign of Rikae’s possible seerishness) unless Mac was one of them. So both parts separately, paranoid but still possibly fine. But the combination, and the fact that he very much presented them as connected parts of the same theory? I really, really don’t see how an innocent Mac would think this way.

Only to tell the Evil QT what we are likely to do. Nopes. WWs would use it to signal the QT. Nopes. Anyone who does so goes into my suspect book. (Starting from you right now, *ping*(TM).)

I have to agree with Legate here – I don’t get how an evil-majority QT means we should try pre-voting again. Boro, can you explain?

But I think immediately focusing on Hui-voters in the first post of the Day when there are definitely guilty Mac-voters seems like misdirection. On the other hand, Lommy saying that it's basically impossible makes me uneasy because it does seem like an option, just not the most obvious one.

This is a fair point. And while we’re on the subject of fishy reactions to the Huin lynch -

I kind of agree with Mac here (!!). I don’t like Sally’s repeated assertions (both last thing yesterDay and first thing toDay) that this makes her look bad. She then says that as a wolf she tends to bus her packmates so she wouldn’t have tried to save Huin if she was his packmate, but as was pointed out, this could just as well be Sally trying to cover her tracks with “but I never do that as a wolf!”
