Looking at Folwren...

Dance1
#17 Even though mainly defending the silent, does the trick of saying a lot and still nothing:
Quote:
No...I say, search for the people in the center, but do so without forgetting those on the two farthest side of the spectrum of talkative and silent.


#19 After Celuien says she is not trusting her, she goes to answer:
Quote:
You can not tell, indeed. Not by my looks or words, perhaps. Maybe you will come to trust me, though. I know not. Nor do I care.
#24 When Lal suspected her of nervousness she defended:
Quote:
No. Not necessarily something to hide. Fear, maybe.
Somehow I remember her confessing that she does not wish to lie in WW (am I totally at wrong here Foley?). Now as a wolf she would have a hard time and thence might act just like this? 19 has the same posture?

#25
Quote:
I still do not think it is good to kill the silent ones. Be careful...if you must...consider how they usually are. Those with the habits of being silence and shy should not be killed for it.
So defending the “habitually silents” here. If she indeed is a wolf (or a cobbler) we might have one among the silent... as she so fervently tries to defend them against Farael’s plan?

#34 Cautiously admits Farael might have a point, but just might, after he had made a good and reasonable defence of his plan (#29).

#41 Answers Farael’s suspicion on flip-flopping nicely...
Quote:
But if you choose to think of me as guilty because you managed to half way convince me, so be it.
#42 Points back to Mac for saying nothing, not too seriously though.

#68 Is appalled by Morm and thinks him cobblerish. Says she will not answer Farael any more and underlines that she is un-Foleyish as she is a countess. Oddly personal-feeling post anyway... So actually appalled (why on earth?) or cleverly trying to look as such? It’s good for a wolf to look genuine.

#98 Gives opinions on some others. Leaves Morm be, disturbed by Farael, has no problem with my suspicion of her, Rikae’s reaction to Morm was not problematic (it was Foleyish), Mac is random but starts to make sense, Holby is full of sense, Valier has not been helpful... Of others she had no opinion.

#108 Main suspects Mac, Morm and Farael. Nicely gathering some quite capable dancers together as suspicious. Then reasons why she will vote for Farael and the vote. Saying also that a personal touch is involved:
Quote:
This is not out of spite. This is not because he voted for me. It is because I do not like what he has done over all in his dealing with me and my posts.
Follows nicely the path set in 68...

#120 Defends her vote not being a revenge vote (as I had pointed out that she might be a wolf covering behind a payback-looking vote!). The following is also interesting:
Quote:
This may change. This assumption, this suspicion, may be wrong. But I will not be held accountable if it is.
What?

#126
Quote:
I do not think it is wise to kill Kath. Just my opinion. No time for more.
If Folwren is a wolf, this is very nice indeed. At the last moment showing good sense and empathy. Looking good?

#155 Questioning Farael still, defending her vote from Mac’s questioning. Thinks Morm more a cobbler and Farael more a wolf. Says no comment on Kitanna's death but still saying it was safe.


There is a case to be made for Folwren's lycantrophy. Is it a good one? I need to think about it still... I mean cases can be made.

- If it holds that Folwren wishes not to lie even if she is a wolf her enigmaticness in the first posts and the underlining of her non-Foleyishness and the mask are points to be considered.
- At some stages she seems to take the mask off and act passionately and emphatically. That would be veryvery wise move from a wolf as it looks good always, fair and open.
- Literally last minute defence of Kath in #126 which clearly had no chance of actually affecting the lynch of an innocent looks pretty wolvish whitewash...
- She seems to be very keen on defending the silent ones, even though she doesn't seem to come up with any arguments why we should not lynch them.* Why all this? Because a mate in crime is a silent one? Because trying to gain trust and goodwill of those who feel threathened by the plan without actually gaining suspicion on others (but possibly Farael)?
- Being really quick to defend herself all the time, looking a bit nervous if I may say so.

* I'm not saying we should just lynch the silent (whoever they be now?) and I think neither is Farael. But why she wishes to exclude the possibility in principle?
