Macalaure: I'm getting a feeling that you're playing a much less intelligently that I know you could. Now c'mon. Why is this? Do I have to twist this from an ironbar to you (sorry about the Finnish idiom)?

And would anybody explain to me why I, if I am the last wolf, should have voted Celuien? I not only voted her (when only morm has voted for her), but pretty actively urged everyone else to do so as well. Do you really think I would spoil Celuien's fun like that just to win, especially when she was my partner-in-evil?
Well you really could spoil it to your own good (and in the end to your shared victory)! Arranging the lynch of your partner in evil would make you look soooo gooood! No one would suspect you and you could sail to the victory through the next Dances. There's no better shield against a lynch than being the one who arranged a lynching of a wolf! Unfortunately there are some "veterans" around to see that kind of bluff-possibility.

I do not say that the idea of a wolf going for his mate is the best case there is in principle (although not impossible or even unfrequent - as my forefathers have some experiences of it) but your reaction to the suggestions of it feel like they reveal something. So why are you, fex. wishing to cling to certain people now as you're under a threat, trying to befriend them and wishing to target others? Isn't that the wolvish tactics par excellance: trying to be nice to many people enough and pin-pointing your suspicions to the few (which you as a wolf know to be innocent). I know I have laid many suspicions on many of you people out there, but that's for the common good. Fex. I do not suspect Folwren so much any more as her defence after my "attack" seemed to be genuine enough. That is the way we can make some reasonable stances on one another: suspicion and returns to them... You're not making the most soothing ones now Mac, sorry to say that as it would have been nice to see you as our hero lastDance...

Just looking at the way you're more trying to find allies than getting to the truth I might quote yourself with morm:
Quote:
First off, I am not using you as a scapegoat, because I have never called you suspicious at all! In fact, you're a firm member of my own current innocents list. I only used you to show why Nogrod's reasoning fails in my mind. If I am suspicious by his reasoning, then so should you. Yet, you are not. I guess I didn't make that clear
So what is this if not only trying to befriend people? I know you enough Macalaure and I know you would not sink this low as to try to talk people to your side if there wasn't something fishy behind it. Were you innocent, you would have acted more graciously and thought about the truth and the best of the village as the first things, not the view of some influential villagers on you yourself...

I'm not loosing my grip on the Valier - Naria -theory as I think it still plausible, but you Mac will top my suspicions right now.

I'm so sorry if I'm wrong but I'm waiting for you to settle this thing with reasonable points before I start to trust you again...

And just before I go to sleep, if anyone has time to look at Rikae, that would be good. I mean, if Celuien the wolf has been so adamant about saying that the kills at Night are safe-ones, so is there something that would speak the contrary?
