So there were 3 of us who had a 'check' for wolf, but when she voted none of us had votes so maybe she didn't want to throw away a vote. But she seemed to really think Fea could be the cobbler, though later said she'd almost definitely not vote for her. So why vote for someone who had no 'wolf' checks, over someone who had four 'cobbler' ones? At the time she voted, voting for Fea would not have been a throwaway. Oh, I know now you're saying 'but she sealed TEWs fate, she mustn't be a wolf', but when she voted Boro had basically said he'd be voting for TEW, and I had recently said I was planning to before I changed my mind. So it could still be a wolf on wolf.

I don't know, out of the 4 votes for him, this one is the fishiest.
I didn't vote Fea for the same reason I didn't vote Agan, Boro, or Wilwa - even though they all had "wolf" checks, they also had "innocent" checks. In short, they were being noticeable.

Now, something I noticed - if TEWie thought he'd be lynched, he could well have voted his packmate to try and make whichever one survived look better. I'm not saying this makes Fea a wolf; it's a random thought that popped into my head. Or he could have been trying to deflect attention away from a packmate who was on the chopping block; but again, this could well be a random, nonsensical thought.

As for Boro, he's not acting like the Boro-wolf I've played with, and I'm inclined to trust him.

Agan posts too many words, but she seems innocent, too.

EDIT: xed with Greenie

This feels dodgy. Also, in your previous post you had narrowed it down to Wilwa and Loslote. They both already had a vote apiece at this stage. On the face of it, this looks quite manipulative.

Some thoughts about the rest of the votes:

Eomer -> Greenie
I've commented on this yesterDay: early vote based entirely on her first post, which was too 'obviously nice and let's get down to business'y'. Not too bad for early on Day 1.

Greenie -> Fea
for posting off-topic, too many jokes, smug tone & joking wolf-confession. Can't find fault with that, thought similar at the time.

me -> Fea(2)
I'd like to note that I'd repeatedly stated being worried by Fea 's and Agan's wolf-joking thing and in Fea's case also her not posting anything seriously game-related, so it's not like this came totally out of the blue.
It was the best I'd got at the time, and I wasn't going to drop it just because Greenie went there ahead of me (so much for 'blatant bandwagoning').

Agan -> sally
reason: ' I know I'm going to get frustrated later on if you top the post count with half your posts being jokes'.
Interesting, since in the same post she said her suspects were skip, Greenie, Eomer and me.

sally -> Pitch
for bandwagoning against Fea. See explanation above, but I must admit it was a fair reason.

wilwa -> Pitch (2)
apparently for no other reason than not wanting to spread the votes further and not wanting to lynch anybody else. If that was an attempt to save either TEW or Fea, did she think it would succeed? Shasta might very well have voted me, if he had voted at all, but both Lottie and Boro had already stated they weren't going to; would have depended on Nerwen.

Conclusion: Inconsistency between suspicions and vote in Agan's case, and wilwa could be either/or; rest looks decent for Day 1.
