The Gwath-Nogrod thing...

I don't know what to think about Gwath... I can't get a read on him, and I did think his Day 1 post on Rikae was disingenuous.

But then, I'm also not keen on the way Nogrod and Mithalwen jumped on him when he said he would take Mith's word about CaptainofDespair's record, even though she "could be a wolf be as well".

Especially since he just agreed with Nogrod that it was unlikely that a COD voter were a wolf.

So who could make such a point then (Gwath's point that is)?

Someone with really original, basically idiosyncratic thinking-processes?
Someone who writes without thinking?
A nervous wolf under pressure trying to mirror anything so that people would talk of something else than him?

I think Gwath is none of the two first ones.
Which seems to me to be quite an over-reaction... also skirting the point Gwath was making initally, which is that it's not safe to assume people on a wolf's "suspect" list are not guilty (referring to Nogrod's "working-hypotheses" (#163) that both the people who voted CaptainofDespair and those he claimed to suspect –Macalaure, Rikae and Boro– could be assumed to be innocent).

Then, as far as I'm aware, Lal is not an experienced wolf (third game, one time wolf, or do I mix things up?). This is a very old way of making someone look bad: just say that s/he is an experienced/dangerous wolf. It doesn't even need a context. Of course, you take it back right away and talk about cobblers and confusions.
I don't like it either... especially as I had been testing Lal to see if she was going to sprout fur, and had just concluded she probably wasn't.

Who else has played with her before?

EDIT: X'd since Rikae at #229.
EDIT 2: fixed quotes.
