This is the trouble with such a big game. So much gets written that it is difficult to spot the evidence. As a villager you end up looking for a needle in an ever increasingly big haystack.
People have different methods for reading the thread. I must admit, in WW1 game I didn't read a lot of the stuff early on and even later on, I skimmed over some of the larger posts, especially when it was two people who I thought were on the same side trying to argue the toss (no name TT and Zak!  ).
I found it much more revealing to dip in and out of the thread, sometimes reading what was written days ago. That information often had more context once a couple of people had been eliminated. Some of the posts in WW2 were absolute essays. I stopped lurking as soon as I saw posts that long every day.
Other people found it useful to write a lot of stuff down in the thread but, because there were so many conflicting interests in the thread, that often makes it hard to distinguish your own opinions from what other lead you into writing.

My money is on Lewwyn being a frustrated villager playing badly and not a wolf.
I really dislike the nighttime play though. I would have expected the village at some point to realize that there were talking way way WAY too much at night - a time when it mostly just gives information to the wolves or is a distraction.
Assume that Lewwyn is a villager. By claiming that the masons need to claim in the night he is flat out telling the wolves that he is not a mason - otherwise he could just claim. Furthermore, it will tend to flush out other villagers with roles - Irgy argued against it and was killed as a villager. I'm not sure I buy the argument that it makes the baner's job easier. If Lewwyn, Novice, and the two masons are all likely targets to be eaten then it's still hard to outguess the wolves.
On the other hand if I assume Lewwyn is a wolf the plan seems kind of far-fetched to me. Convincing the masons to reveal themselves seems like a hard sell. I don't see the wolves as needing to hatch a plan like this. Of course he has projected an erratic image, both recently in WW3 and in WW2 with the Roland lynch crusade.
I'd definitely pursue this during the daytime conversation though - I'm surprised to see the matter seemingly dropped.

I think the wolves should start considering a joint void + night kill on Novice.
Get rid of him and the game's over imo.
I think there's a good chance Novice is the baner.

He's been a positive force for wolfdom all over the realms.

Novice has been borderline obsesseed with me all game long and yet he's never responded to a single thing I've written defending myself. In fact, I can't think of anything meaningful you've written in quite some time. You've been mentioning me non-stop for about 6-7 RL days, and every time I've responded to you, you've ignored me. AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hmm. So I guess my death yesterday didn't tell the village much? I just wish my innocence had been enough to make a significant number of people say "aha - so and so must be innocent/guilty!" But it seems like that's not the case.
Oh well, I'm having fun hanging out in the lurker thread!
You can get a look at a t-bone by looking up the bulls ass but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

By the way, I'm still rooting for JKaen to be a wolf. I do have my doubts, but him being a wolf makes me a bit less of a crazed, paranoid villager this game. But I'm starting to believe the crowds that say F&I, Ichabod, Zakalwe look like the top three most suspicious, and that doesn't leave much room for JKaen... I'd tend to think all of Roland, Rowain, and even Scooter look like better choices for #4 most suspicious person.
Hmm. WW3 just made me  Yeah, the time commitment was considerably less thanks to no PMs but still... At least I'm finishing on the winning team - Lurker

Well that was one heckuva last minute extravaganza. Life by the last minute vote, die by the last minute vote. If I wanted to be really pernicious in running another game, I'd say that if you cast a vote after time has been called on the lynch (basically, you did what Lewwyn did here and were slow on the post button) the village lynches you as well! 
But I only say that because I'm a bad person. :neenernee

Serdoa Wrote:Kinda funny that Roland made sure to lynch a villager (though I tried to rally people to vote for him too, so no offense there Roland). I just feel the only break we are getting is that Bruindane didn't play on - might I ask, was there some discussion that one of the wolves would get himself modkilled to make up for the sudden disapperance of Cull or what?
Nope. Bruindane just up and disappeared on us.

So much for the "wolves wouldn't be inactive" argument

Serdoa Wrote:So wrong this list, nearly as it was crafted this way...
Really Meiz, look at this list and tell me that any villager would have been able to get it so extremely wrong. I don't buy that - even by chance one of your top 5 suspects should be a wolf (5 of 23 means a little bit more then every 5th player is a wolf). And I know that I am a villager myself. So that makes 6 out of his top 7 suspects which are innocent. Should we lynch you and find out if he is wrong with that as well? I guess you plea for not guilty hm? So that makes the top 7 suspects of him innocent.
I believe that Jkaen is one of our wolves. He crafted this list to prove his innocence, hoping that someone would point out that this would be too obvious for a wolf when it becomes appearant that this list is completely wrong.
Serdoa... I tried that, it doesn't work. You're going to have to catch JKaen another way. At least his name is getting brought back up!
