Okay, I've stolen a little more time on the actual computer to read over "Phase 2" (people's comments on the
G55/Legate/Pitch debate). Note that this does
not mean I no longer suspect
Pitch,
G55, and
Lommy (in no particular order); just that I'm consciously examining the rest of the village too. (I'm also not highlighting every post that's part of "Phase 2"; just the ones that jump out at me.)
I think Phase Two starts around #52, when
Macalaure considers
Legate cobblerish, but the first post that jumps out is
Rikae, #69, which asserts that:

... which, putting those side by side, is actually straight-up wrong. Mac suggested the possibility of Legate-Wolf, but mostly came down on cobbler.
Hang on, didn't I see the number #69 on the current page? Right, yes,
G55 caught it in #156. Which I guess suggests that a Rikae-G55 pack is unlikely?
Interestingly, I think this is also the first post to suspect
Macalaure, which puts
Rikae doubly in my 'worrisome' category. We'll see where it goes.
#71:
Brinniel suggests there could be 'no wolves involved' in the fake-vote discussion, then says she's wary of both Pitch and G55. Not a very consistent position, but useful if
Legate seemed in need of protection.
#72:
G55 catches the error ('error'?) in #69, but presents it in a joking manner, so it doesn't really get picked up.
#78:
Lommy approves of the fake-vote discussion for getting things rolling, and pins the credit on Legate - but also immediately rejects it as 'an insane idea' and wonders aloud why Legate would do it. These are within the very same sentence, which I guess is that "trademark flipflopping" at work (that phrase comes up in this same post). It's also a really convenient way to either make an innocent look bad without coming on too strong, or to make a fellow wolf look good without seeming like you're on their side. So it says nothing about Legate, but something about Lommy.
#81: Conveniently at the top of page 3,
Kath lays out Phase 1 almost precisely (she stops with Mac's post that I see as the start of Phase 2). I think this post will be a oft-used reference for Phase 1, if we wind up still discussing it after toDay (I believe it's the 'evolutionary' post Legate later refers to). She mostly sticks to the facts, so it's hard to get a read off her here.
#91:
Lommy. Not particularly striking for its Phase 2 content, but for the 'I would definitely play up my flipflopping if I were a wolf' she gave to me. I'm afraid I dropped the ball on this one - I'd forgotten what
I said by the time I saw what
she said, so I just took 'that's a fair point' and moved on. It's really making me suspicious right now.
#95:
Kitanna discusses a Galadriwolf or PitchWolf, but interestingly doesn't suggest a pack. She
does seem to suggest G55 and Rikae as a pack with this:

She could be a wolf using this to pile suspicion on G55? I'm not strongly suspicious of this one, though.
#97:
Mac finds Legate suspicious for going after all his accusers. This could be a slightly dodgy claim (I feel like going after anyone who accuses you is pretty classic Werewolf), but it doesn't worry me overmuch.
#98 & #100:
Pitch continues to suspect Legate, but also pitches (sorry) in on Mac. Still thinking about how this interacts with G55's interactions with Rikae, who also suspected Mac.
#104:
Kitanna suspects a wolf in the GLP, but can't decide who.
Really interestingly, she says she didn't suspect Legate until #88 - but her previous post was #95, where she didn't mention this suspicion. Cross-posting is possible, I guess?
#109:
Kath. It looks like Phase 2 might be winding up, as she's starting to analyse interactions from it (Mac and Pitch).
#113:
Boro discusses Legate-Wolf, but is pretty non-committal. Could be seen as a light defence of wolf-Legate? Or as a light attack on innocent-Legate? But nothing overly strong.
I think that's the bulk of Phase 2. I'm dubious about Rikae, but the one who jumps out at me is
Lommy. I've had... three or four different suspicions of her at this point, I think? I'm still worried about
Pitch, and to an extent
G55 (but mostly by association with PitchWolf, unless I'm forgetting something), but
Lommy is at the top of my list.
Right, checking the last few posts to see what's changed...
Okay,
G55 reminds of that odd 'hey what if this specific scenario happened, would I still be a wolf winner?' question, so I guess I do have
something else on her.
Mac points out that Rikae's misrepresentation of him could be a simple mistake (I think someone's misattributed something to me somewhere, though I can't find it), which does make
G55's continued pulling on the thread somewhat sketchy.
There's a lot of suspicion on
Brinn in the last few posts (I see Rikae, Pitch, and Loslote), which seems to have come a bit out of nowhere. Did it build over the course of page 4? Ah, looks like it did, including G55's comment that Brinn 'seems to post without leaving any impression'. That tallies with what I'm getting, but I've not gotten any impression that she's up to something.
... but
Lommy has, as maybe the third or fourth person to cast suspicion on her (in #144 she dedicates her longest paragraph to contrasting her with Eonwe).
Okay, I should be able to actually-vote later, and in the event that we see a G55/Pitch vs Legate breakdown I will vote for one of the former, but for now my not-vote sits on +-Lommy.
