Well, I'm here now.

I'll just say my general feelings, having read over the thread, before I go on to proper analysis of yesterday's going-ons and try to draw conclusions from them.

I am still suspicious of Lommy, and especially don't like the way she's voted for me again. More on that later. I'm also very wary of Roa, who has built a case against Nogrod out of air (or waffles). I think these two are likely to be a lupine pair.

Finally:

17 years and they still don't know what's wrong with me!

Edit: From above, I didn't mean "again." Lommy has only voted for me once so far, of course.

Lommy

She's just voted for me for voting for her with an "ill constructed" case. Retaliation is not in the village's interests, and I feel my case to be both justified and reinforced by her behaviour today.

Firstly, in her first post, she supports Roa's post about the gifteds. Rikae (sensibly, in my opinion) picks holes in Roa's argument, but Lommy thinks she's innocent too, merely misunderstanding. She attacks Glirdan for supporting Rikae's "feeblish accusations" - feeble-ish? It's a sound accusation. Roa advocates mistrust of any person revealing themselves as gifted; how is that possibly good? She then votes for Glirdan.

To me, with hindsight, this looks very much like a wolf-on-wolf vote. Lommy says her evidence is feeble, so she can distance herself from it in the future, but she still manages to vote for a fellow wolf. Saying her evidence is feeble also decreases the potential of the vote becoming a bandwagon.


In response to Lommy's post today:
Quote:
I was not defending Roa in general, and that should be easy to see. I said I found nothing wrong with her points.
Same difference. If you agree with someone's points, you agree with them.

Quote:
I didn't say that role talk is suspicious. If I had said so, I'd definitely be flip-floppery. But I said we shouldn't specualte about them too much, meaning that it's a secondary thing and gets the attention away from the important.
Fair enough. This is a problem is misinterpretation on my part; I thought the comment about role talk meant that Lommy thought role-talk in general should be discouraged.

Quote:
Also, he deliberatedly seems to misinterpret Roa by saying she says gifteds shouldn't reveal.
She says we shouldn't trust anyone who reveals. Nice andh andy thing for a wolf to get into people's minds early.

Quote:
Furthermore, like Roa pointed out, he says that gifted-talk is no way helpful, but continues it himself.
In response to others.

Quote:
He seems very edgy/jumpy too.
That what Werewolf's about.

I'm also wary of the Lommy-fanclub that seems to be springing up, and think it's at least partly wolf-influenced.
