Well, I did say I wouldn't be able to be around a whole lot due to the stresses of RL...

More thoughts:

There seems to be a lot of rows going on toDay. Not that it's a bad thing...keeps the Day entertaining. I believe it was Roa who suggested the row between Nog and Greenie as wolf-on-wolf, which is possible since I can see someone like Nogrod pulling that off. And they'd both probably have fun with it. Then again, it's just as possible that Roa and Nogrod are wolves together for the same reasons. There's not enough evidence now to support these theories, but I do think it's a good idea to keep an eye on all interactions between players, both the arguments and buddying up.

The one thing about Roa that stuck out to me, was that she seemed rather defensive after reading Greenie's comments about her. Greenie was playing with the idea that she might be a wolf, but I'm not sure she was actually seriously considering voting her.

Iti's McCaber's vote right now that really bothers me. It's purely retaliatory, which is a horrible reason to vote anyone.

Fea is also making me very uncomfortable. She provides almost no substance until others start to comment on it. And even when she does provide substance, she avoids sharing much opinion on other players. Can you further explain exactly why you suspect me as well as the others on your list, Fea?

Loslote still hasn't shown up which is disappointing. I'm still not liking her for her vote, but I'd like to actually hear from her before pursuing her any further, so hopefully she will show up soon.

EDIT: 2600 posts, yay!

And "it's possible" was all I said. I wasn't trying to spot the cobbler per se, I was analysing the Morsul voters. I ran out of time last night (with a lower-case n). Fea is next.

Actually, looking back, I see that she was here right at the beginning of the Day. But the point still holds. There is nothing much more to go on with her over and above what happened yesterDay.

This is pretty much the only substantive contribution that sally has made toDay. It's rather vague and sketchy, to say the least, although she does promise to come back later with further thoughts.

When it comes to it, the only real evidence against either of them is their vote for Hakon and Boro's mentions of them. Its very thin and, even though I do think that a Wolf is quite likely to have voted for Hakon, I don't really feel able to vote for either toDay without hearing more from them.

Which leaves McCaber and Greenie out of my current principal suspects. I am wary of this growing consensus against them, of which I am now a part, but they do both look rather suspicious. Probably more so than anyone else at the moment.

I am going to take a look back at their posts toDay.

Couldn't it mean we're right about them then?

Well, a cobbler wouldn't like that. Or a wolf-mate...

And why say you're no part of the "consensus" but still give the impression you agree with it? Isn't that a bit wolfy / cobblery - I mean when baddies are going down you try to both disagree and agree in hope of both trying to prevent it but leaving a trace you were actually suspecting them?




Okay, hoping to see you toMorrow... Make a good decision!

Fea

#57.Posts in verse, parodying "The Raven". Excuses her late appearance. Criticises Morsul's faulty logic and explains what's wrong with it. Is confused by the "Friendly Wolf" affair. Is annoyed by Mira's calculation error.

#61. Banter.

#64. Banter.

#112. Another verse-post. Says it would be in the Bear's interest to kill the wolves and vice versa. Further explains to Morsul what is wrong with his reasoning.

Up to this point I have no problems with Fea, as she is making sense and a couple of her posts have real substance.

Here is where things start to look bad. She's practically saying she'll be voting one of the top candidates simply because they annoyed her. I can't see that she mentioned Hakon before, while she had been addressing Morsul as though she thought his errors of logic were an honest mistake.

#167. Casts fifth and final vote on Morsul, commenting "I think I'll just seal this..."

No other reason given.

What to make of this? It looks highly cobblerish, but as we have all learned the hard way, wolves quite often impersonate the cobbler. There is also the problem that Fea is one of the "wild card" players, who might just do this as an innocent. You never know.

So, it's again quite inconclusive, but I'd say she's the most suspicious of the surviving Morsul voters.

EDIT:X'd since Pitch at #247.
