OK, so, I'm getting where the suspicion of Agan is coming from, I'm just not entirely convinced it isn't something of a mistranslation. For all that our Finnish friends are amazing with their English it is still their second (third?) language.

That said, her responses to it haven't seemed very defensive. She suddenly went under a huge amount of suspicion from a few sides and yet she seems to be taking it all as a joke but just mentioning that she's cross about it. It's annoying to suspect her for that because usually I'm more worried about those who are overly defensive but if Agan was as tired as she said and just basically anyone under that much suspicion if it really is out of the blue to them should be more defensive and surprised. But then her later posts have become defensive so she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't there.

Um, sorry I'm sleepy here. 2pm is a really bad deadline for me as it turns out. What else was I thinking?

Oh yes, the interesting case of Izzy. So yesterDay she arrives, says she's had an epiphany, says Agan and Shasta are baddies and that she knows this because she's the Ranger and has been dreamt of by the Seer but then says that Agan and Shasta have NOT been dreamt of. Shasta is lynched and turns out to be innocent. What the heck is going on? Then re-mentions her epiphany toDay but STILL doesn't say what it actually was. Retains her suspicion of Agan.

Now, I see a couple of options here. Agan and Izzy are both wolves and this is a plot to try and make us believe that if we lynch one of them the other must then be innocent. Or Izzy is a wolf and is seeing how far a reveal can take her. That seems more unlikely because surely after the mess up yesterDay and with the way things are looking toDay the real Ranger would say something if that were the case before we lose any more innocents. Or of course Izzy is telling the truth and is the Ranger but the Seer hasn't dreamt of Agan and thus Izzy doesn't know more than the rest of us. Given yesterDay's events I think it unlikely that if Izzy is the Ranger that Agan would not have been dreamt of by now and so if we are going to believe Izzy's claim ... only option really is to lynch Agan.

Wait whoa. Missed Mira's reveal entirely! Well that makes everything above entirely redundant really!

I am choosing to believe Mira and Izzy right now. That said I have no doubt that the two of them could be wolves and have come up with this marvellous plot. But then I'm cynical. And I'm going to bed.
