Thanks. I must say, I've never been so happy about dying.
Though I felt pretty sure I would finally die that Night, I didn't find out for sure until hours later since I was at work. So, I was anxious that entire shift wondering if I picked the right person...

Okay, here were a few of my thoughts throughout the game:

After Day 1, I was almost confident tgwbs was a wolf, mostly for his vote, and he remained at the top of my suspicion until Day 3.

On Day 3, I started out only slightly suspicious of Nogrod, but as he kept posting my suspicion increased. I became less suspicious of tgwbs because his reasoning against Nogrod was so reasonable. His last post made me start to doubt myself, but by then it was too late. Sorry Nogrod, you were too easy a target and I was too easily persuaded by the wolves.

Night 4 began with much frustration, and I decided to focus on the quiets because I felt confident at least one was a wolf. With Gil, there wasn't much to go off of due to his absence, but Izzy's posts had little content and she seemed the most suspicious to me. I decided to leave tgwbs alone because not only was I uncertain about him, but I was scared to death how much damage the death of another loud player would do to the village if he were innocent. As the Day began, I analysed Izzy more carefully as you can see, and by the time I was done and along with Mac's confidence of his own analysis, I was absolutely positive she was a wolf.

Night 5 began with more anger and frustration than anything because not only was I wrong again, but I realised if I died and hunted an innocent (aside from Nienor), I would end and lose this game for the innocents. In order not to make another mistake, I took a long and careful analysis of every player (except Mac and Rikae, who I knew were innocent). Previously, I had been confident that if the wolf wasn't Izzy, it'd be Gil. Then I realised how unlikely it'd be that he was a wolf (or gifted) due to his extended absence. And though his attack on me made me uneasy, I remembered how like him that was. Besides...the last time Gil was a wolf, he posted a lot and even if he didn't do that again, I would think he'd at least provide a little more information. Of Mithalwen, I was confident she was either Nienor or wolf pretending to be Nienor. And if she was a wolf, I thought tgwbs could be Nienor. On Lhuna...she was someone I never really suspected through the entire game. But on this Night, I came to realise I trusted her too much and she was just too sensible and her votes too, well...safe. She was the only one that in the beginning I was confident of her innocence, and knowing my history of being inaccurate (not only in this game), I decided she just had to be guilty. So, I picked her.

My Hunts:*

Day 1: tgwbs
Night 2: tgwbs
Day 2: tgwbs
Night 3: tgwbs
Day 3: tgwbs
Night 4: Izzy
Day 4: Gil-Galad
Night 5: Lhuna

* I think this is all right, but I didn't save my PMs to Legate and Volo, so I can't remember for sure.

The Day hunts weren't as useful as I realised if Nienor were at risk of being lynched, she'd reveal (unless she were absent). But of course, I was careful.

Just a notice- If I had survived onto Day 5, I would have revealed.

PM quotes are coming next, because I know how you all love to read them (and I hope you do the same, wolves).
