-Sets herself up to be able to say "I suspected Pitch" while voting for Boro; possible Mnemo-rescue attempt
-Her "ample reasoning" against Boro is that he "makes her uneasy"-Draws attention to the lack of bandwagoning-motive for her Boro vote
-Faulty logic in #461, regarding Inzil and Pitch
-Flipflops on Pitch after nearly voting him the day before
-Flipflops on Nog after being quite good with him
-Huge qualification regarding Lottie's reveal
-Flipflops again on Pitch in #497
-Rather "pot-calling-kettle" suspicious of Lommy
-Votes for Nienna out of the blue, very bandwagon-like
-Insistent that we don't believe Lottie (this could go either way)

Points for Wilwa:
-Makes a good point about past wolfery not being applicable in present games
-Reasonable defense against Boro in #490
-The wolf-killchoice of Inzil
-Reasonable (if a bit misguided) approach to whether or not to believe Lottie's reveal
My "ample reasoning" was more that I didn't like the way he claimed he's acting like an innocent Boro, and not at all how a Wolf Boro would act, I hate it when people do that. (and I believe you agreed that this was a bad thing). He just seemed to be putting a lot of effort into convincing us that he was acting like he normally would as an innocent, and yes, that made me uneasy. I don't really like being suspected for suspecting Boro, simply because no one else suspects him. And I defended my vote for him so vehemently because I'm tired of my first vote in the game always being seen as suspicious, like really, always.

I agree with this, I have recently falsed revealed in a game and I think my large amount of details is what got me believed for as long as it did. And since her role is a secret role we don't know anything about it, so of course she could give lots of details. If she's a wolf it'd be the perfect thing to false reveal as, and anyone who would counter reveal possibly would not be any more believable. It'd be a gamble, but it's not all that unlikely that she guilty. Again, I'm not saying lets lynch her, but I don't like how quick everyone is to completely believe her, we could all be getting fooled.

I need to check something in the rules, and then I'll be right back...

x'ed with a whole lot of people
