Some thoughts thus far.

Lommy’s first post is just weird… and Legate's first ones look a bit puzzling as well (it was late for both of them to be sure).

Samwise raises my eyebrow with this beginning reservation:

Well, of course, this is all a little random at the moment, but at the risk of becoming prominent I'll get the first post up before I head off to bed.
After which he only mildly speculated about the gifted roles and the number of baddies to come. It looks very much like over-reacting or pre-empting to me.

Shasta’s and Kit’s first posts mainly state their presence. Kind of posts that always make me a bit worried

Lommy’s suspect-list is a bit weird as well. It’s not Lommyish. Like her first post is not. Now this is not saying she’s a wolf as she might be just trying a different mode of play for she could pull it very considerately were she a wolf. What I’m a bit concerned is just a tone I’m getting from her posting which isn’t exactly sincere. But that’s not something I would be ready to vote for her today: it’s too vague and feeling-based.

I’m a bit puzzled over Kitanna’s last post. Her choices of people she points out and what she says of them is interesting. It’s clear that Lommy and Legate have posted the most and then it’s also understandable to pick them. But it’s interesting she ends up stressing that Legate might be the one to crack the riddles in the end (when almost everyone posted had engaged themselves in a way or another to cracking the prophecies) but that Lommy’s host of talk might “provide decent fodder for later”… ?

Then she puts together SamGam, Gwath, and Gollum and says they are only repeating Legate’s points – which in the end I think is not even true. Looking for easy lynches?

It's very much open to me at this point of the Day. If I'd need to vote now it might be Samvais or Kit but hopefully there is more to read when I come back later - it's just too much second guessing right now.

Look innocentish at this moment: Gwath, Brinn.

EDIT: X'd with Kitanna

By fodder for later I meant depending on how toDay and Night goes it may leave us with some sort of clue in the Days to come or it could well mean absolutely nothing later. And as for Legate he's dedicated the most time to trying to figure things out, that's all that meant. It doesn't mean he'll figure out what Eomer meant or that anyone will for that matter.
