Don't worry about Gwath.

He's removed and I'll just tell you now that Excel made him an Ordo.

Very well.

The wolves have posted somewhere in this thread.

Of the current candidates I think Greenie is the creepiest, however, I'd much prefer Lottie. Is there any support for that?

Eh... I could be persuaded.

But Green I don't buy; and now I'm seeing a Legate/Agan combination setting her up - which probably doesn't make much sense, but oh well. Anyway, I'm somewhat less concerned about saving Agan right now.

On Mac I have little idea, but seemed fairly sincere so far. No giant red arrows anyway.

What's up with Loslote?

Looking pretty innocent to me:
Rikae
Lommy
Lalaith
Eomer
Mithalwen

Leaning innocent:
McCaber
Boromir
(buying his explanation about the innocent slip)
mormegil
Nilp
(the wolf-on-wolf comment about Lommy-Agan is the only thing I have on him)
Legate (still don't like that one post of his earlier toDay, but otherwise I don't see anything)
Greenie

Still under the radar:
Kath

Undecided:
Formendacil (behavior is somewhat suspicious, but that self-vote...)
Nerwen
Shasta


Somewhat suspicious:
Sally (her case against Rune and some general uneasiness)
Lottie (her behavior around the Agan-Lommy argument resulting in her vote yesterDay, and her jumping on morm toDay)
Firefoot (throwing shady suspicions at me and then jumping on it when I argued against them, only reason she's in this group and not one up is because I'm worried about being kneejerk)

Fairly suspicious:
Aganzir (reason stated all over the place)

I'm surprised Agan voted for Greenie. She suspected me, too, and I already had more votes.

Reason tells me the case against Agan is clear, but my gut hesitates. I don't like any of the present alternatives, though, especially since one of those alternatives is me.

Firefoot

Day 1
5 - 25% chance of nailing a baddie today
8 - Banter
37 - wants to orchestrate vote to ensure a tie
51 -Reiterates that she wants a tie
200 - Unsure who seems more suspicions of Lommy/Agan, Nog probably innocent because of role confusion
207 - Admitted throw-away vote for Gwath

Day 2
252 - why innocents and wolves would/would not want to tie. Seems not to conclude much from it (gives reasons on all sides), but finds Lottie, Mac & McCaber suspicious.
253 - Getting bad vibes from me, gives no reason.
280 - Suspicious of the Nogawagon
284 - Says Mac is being defensive
348 -

I can relate to that when pressed for time, but still, the result is pretty indistinguishable from safe-under-reindeer-wolvery.
352 - Suspicion list. Lottie, Mac & McCaber still top suspects (as in her first post).

Conclusions: very safe, very under-the-radar, but otherwise seems innocent enough.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
After reading over Greenie's posts, I don't really understand the campaign against her. Still not convinced about Agan, either - I sort of wonder if this whole Again/Lommy business has gotten way out of proportion, to the exclusion of discussing other players... *if* both of them are innocent, it would be a good tactic by wolves to keep pushing that discussion, keep the focus there and off themselves. Or maybe everyone else is more perceptive than me and I just don't see what's right in front of my face.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced of Eomer's innocence; he seems to be echoing my confused villager thoughts.

I apologize for my lack of participation today - I've been on the road to a hotel for a lot of it.

We've an hour to go until DL and I'm still not certain who I'm voting for. Most of the suspicions I've had thus far have lessened a bit, save Lottie who I've said I'd rather not vote for toDay on account of she's not here to answer my questions.

I did think Agan was suspiciously jumpy yesterday, but toDay I do think she's made an unanswered point;

(bolding mine)

It may just be Aganwolf grasping at anything and everything to save themselves, but I've had the same reaction when I thought someone was being intentionally rude to me, so I'm probably biased in thinking she's telling the truth here. Of course, as I type this, it occurs to me that I can't think of any reason it can't actually be the truth for an Aganwolf. And Lommy hasn't posted since she said that, either, so it's not as though she's had a chance to answer this.

I may go back momentarily and look at Lommy, actually; something Eomer said recently struck a bit of a chord with me regarding her -

Granted, Agan has hardly gone without notice but Lommy's been fairly laserlike as far as I can tell. I need to go back and see if she's focused on anyone else.
