I never said that you were giving up. If you are a Duck, however, you are in fairly desperate straights right now. Your approach may signify a spirited attempt to keep yourself alive today and cross tomorrow's bridge when you come to it.

The last thing that I would expect from the Ducks, assuming them to be playing well, would be for them to all behave alike. Nor would I expect them necessarily to avoid mention of each other. The traditional approach, is it not, is to spread some suspicion of one's fellow Ducks where it is safe to do so, but without driving it home? I am not sure that we should read too much into Jenny's post that you refer to, as she mentioned a number of people, innocents and Ducks alike, in a fairly neutral way. Spawn's vote for you speaks in your favour admittedly, but she was (presumably) not to know at that time what havoc would ensue.

But, on reflection, I am concerned whether we might be focussing too strongly on you and Kath. It is quite possible that neither of you is a Duck and that either Nogrod was converted on Night 2 or Cailin has been successfully flying under our collective radars. That worries me, and it is why I thought your earlier proposal to lynch either you or Kath today and the other tomorrow a dangerous one. It is also one to which the sole Duck (if not you or Kath) would readily agree.
