The witch's death is unfortunate as she provoked much of the first day's discussion and made many rational arguments. I will step up my attacks to compensate for this loss. At this time two individuals are most suspicious:
The first is Mace Windu. His reticence has been noted previously and his current defense is not helpful. One cannot be "too busy to try and start discussion" when his life is on the line. If Mace Windu feels there is little of substance to comment on then prodding with votes is a relatively simple way to remedy the situation. I suggest that he begin doing this instead of making ineffectual evasions.
My second suspect is Gandalf. Gandalf persisted in making jokes when others had realized that the time for this had passed. Gandalf attempted to defend himself on this point by stating that no serious discussion had taken place but this statement is in error. Classifying my vote for Rincewind as a jokevote is a mischaracterization. This vote was intended to provoke discussion and in conjunction with the White Witch's action this is what it accomplished. That Gandalf required the criticism of three individuals to address our crisis with due seriousness is only mildly suspicious. The wizard's true error is this: opposing the witch's bandwagon while providing no alternate course of action.
Informative discussion does not self-generate. The actions of the White Witch were the most useful for generating it on day one. Gandalf's objection to her methods is not suspicious by itself. However if he finds her tactics at fault then he is obliged to suggest an alternative and this he did not do. When pressed on this shortcoming by the White Witch herself in her last post the wizard failed to address the issue and instead changed the topic when he spoke next. Evasiveness is an indicator of guilt.
##VOTE: Gandalf
Analysis on the other survivors follows.
Jabba the Hutt: The Hutt criticized the witch in the same manner as Gandalf but explained himself better when pressed and commented on other matters as well. Level of suspicion is only moderate at this time.
John Freeman: Subject Freeman's posts are short and contain material that is commonly designated "fluff" but his level of suspicion is low in spite of these facts. The points he has made are sensible and consistent with my own observations.
Nimitz: I require more contribution from this entity. Of his three statements one was an introduction and another was a statement of his time constraints. We have only one post of substance with which to assess his intentions and this is alarming. Level of suspicion is moderate.
Rincewind: Mace Windu's assertion that Rincewind's Gandalf vote was a joke is inaccurate as Rincewind voted for Gandalf explicitly because the elder wizard persisted in making jokes. I require more contribution from this wizard as well but the points he has made are sensible. Level of suspicion is low.
