The first discussion-worthy thing:

translates to

"I am a werewolf disguised as a terrier disguised as a reindeer. Please lynch me before I die of confusion."

Well, well!

Then there's Lommy's 85% serious list, out of which this is the main (only?) serious thing:

Then there's Boro's list, out of which these are probably the most serious comments:

Lommy - List of people post is about as telling as mine. But where mine is seriously acknowledged as limitted to start and help me categorizing people (yep, sorry I fit people into personal compartments). I can't tell if Lommy's is a serious attempt to look unserious and random. Or if it's an unserious attempt to start the serious suspicion train a moving.

Coppermirror - What do I say about Nerwen's translation? It's quite wrong, but as the Sugar Plum Fairy I imagine she went for the literal translation just looking at a "Reindeer to Fairy dictionary." She clearly did not pick up the slight phonetic alterations between the ock and ok which significantly changes the meaning.

Can't tell how serious he is. But he seems to rearrange Lommy's words about me (and I happen to be the only common serious comment).

Legate urges people to post opinions and looks for Cobblers and people who reply to Cobbler comments.

Morsul's reaction to everything and especially Legate's comment:

So far
Boro seemingpretty tame
Thin tosed out some general feelings in what looks like a genuine attempt to get the ball rolling.
Legate This post seems like a good a jumping point as any
Galadriel had same thought as me regarding Boro which scaresme not furry scary just in general Galadriel might want get checked if she thinks like me... shudders

everyone else not enugh to say much about.

I think the "singling out" is a good point, but what does suspicion of hinting have to do with it?... Sometimes I have trouble separating your ideas, Morsul.

Now as I'm reading I see that whenever people say "Christmas spirit" I get confused if they are being IC or if they mean RL Xmas preparations.

This actually stands out in a negative way. It's like Lommy is saying take a good look at Cop, but I'm not having any part in that suspicion! - but in a less exaggerated way. By the way, I can't see anything that special in that post. An I just being thick?

Cop's suspicion list. Semi-IC. No real suspicions. Her own summary:

The only thing I can think of doing right now is going entirely by gut instinct, which is a poor substitute for decent analysis. I'll try looking through things again and hope that something jumps out at me, or that there'll be further posts of interest.

Lommy's vote for Zil, because

Legate's suspicion-list post is wishy-washy and inconclusive.

Cop, while IC is quite fine, can you please separate it from your serious content? IC is fun, but not when I can't figure out if you're serious.



OK, I see people have posted since (#55 onwards), but it took me a real long time with lots of interruptions to finish this. I'll comment on the next posts separately.
