The Account of Agent Fish
The following information is classified as MOST SECRET.
Time: 0000
It would seem most are unwilling to name a name, perhaps for fear of placing a target on themselves.
The Rat has suggested the Seal as an option, both due to inactivity and due to potentially having the idol. It would seem this name is the only one out there.
I am retiring for the night.
Time: 0600
I have awoken to find few messages, but the Seal is present, and I have had some conversation with them.
They have heard that they are a target, and claim that the Frog told them to target the Lion. They also claim that they refused to do this, and warned the Lion of it.
After this, they claim the Frog told them to push the Owl. I conversed with the Frog, not mentioning the Lion, and he did indeed ask me to vote for the Owl.
I messaged the Lion to inform him of what I had heard. If the Seal had already done so, I assumed this would just help build the relationship there.
Time: 1200
There has been much discussion, but little consensus. The general view seems to be that majority is anti-Seal, but nobody explicitly professes to be anti-Seal, whereas Frog and Cat are clearly anti-Owl.
LATER ADDITION: The Kestrel also told me that Capybara was pushing Owl at this point, but I realise on rereading that the Capybara never actively did so with me.
Butterfly is the only animal to tell me they prefer to keep Owl, but it is with the caveat that if most go for Owl, they will be happy to go after Owl also.
Butterfly seems to believe that Bunny started the Owl train, which Bunny claims to be false. Bunny did indeed mention Owl to me the previous day, but only in an offhand comment, so I claimed that I heard it first from the Seal.
Lion has awoken and is concerned. He tells me that Seal only told him of this after my message to him, which seems odd. Why would Seal lie about tipping off Lion?
Owl has informed me that they do not view myself and Kestrel as allies, because we are well-liked, and therefore they have no guarantee that they will be high on the 'totem pole'. This has soured both of us on the Owl considerably.
Time: 1400
Still, there does not appear to be consensus.
Cat wishes to set up a coalition of Seal/Cat/Capybara/Frog/Eagle/Kestrel/Rat and potentially Bunny to vote for Owl. I have given this a nod of approval, but am not contributing to building it outside of mentioning that Cat wishes to do it.
Time: 1600
Hedgehog has approached me proposing a very different direction. They claim that themselves, Lion, Butterfly, and Frog were an alliance on Herbivora.
It would appear that my informing the Lion of what I had heard from the Seal at 0600 has sent ripples through that group, and the Hedgehog is incensed that Frog would raise that name.
They wish to create a strike force of Hedgehog/Lion/Butterfly/Rat/Eagle to snipe the Frog, potentially adding more members later.
I have contacted the Rat to ask his opinion on the matter. I have also informed the Kestrel.
Time: 1700
The Rat is not in favour of this plan, and it would appear that most others are also not. I have messaged back my own concerns about it, and Hedgehog has said they will shelve it for the time being.
Time: 1900
It would appear that consensus is finally being found. The Frog has backed down on protecting the Seal, which seems to have been what most were waiting for.
The Seal vote now seems somewhat inevitable, although the Lion and myself are both, independently, voting the Owl in order to ensure that an idol will not cause problems.

Kestrel is a little panicked that Owl and Seal are cross-referencing information, and Owl is accusing them of leaking details. The Kestrel claims that they merely spoke to clear the air. I will of course back the Kestrel on any issue at this stage.
Time: 2000
The Seal has created a group chat of Seal/Frog/Capybara/Cat/Owl/Sloth/Kestrel/Eagle.
In it, they claim that the remaining five players (Rat/Hedgehog/Lion/Butterfly/Bunny) are all in an alliance, and drove the votes against both themself and the Owl.
They provide no evidence for this claim, but it is worryingly similar to the Hedgehog's strike force, just with the Bunny substituted in for myself.
LATER ADDITION: There is some suspicion that Butterfly may have told Owl about strike force, who then told Seal. If this is the case, I am surprised I was included in this group chat.
Seal urges all other players to unite against this five, and wrest control of the game away from them, by voting out Butterfly.
Time: 2030
The only other player to have messaged this group chat is Owl, who has confirmed they are willing to vote that way. However, Seal is constantly providing updates saying that anonymous people have committed privately.
Conversation with the Capybara indicates that neither he nor I are willing to do this. Conversation with the Frog indicates that he is also very dubious about it.
Seal is pushing me hard privately to commit, and seems to believe that if I do, Kestrel also will, despite Kestrel not being present.
I have told the Seal that I will commit to voting Owl, and should the vote tie, I will join them on the revote. I feel this is an acceptable compromise, and he seems to be happy with it.
That was, of course, where my vote was anyway.
I have been unsure of who to talk to about this chat, as I do not wish to alienate my friends on the other side, but I also do not want to be labelled as the player who leaks information.
I decided to tell the Rat, as he is a very close ally, and the Bunny, as we have an agreement for a very under-the-radar alliance and I believe they will keep this info to themselves.
LATER ADDITION: The Rat informed the Lion with five minutes to go. The Hedgehog was supposedly told of the group chat shortly after its inception, so I am not the only one who was leaking information.
Time: 2100
The Frog informed me late that he believed the Butterfly vote would be pinned on him regardless, so he may as well go for it.
The Butterfly ended up receiving four votes, the Owl three, and the Seal six. I am still unsure as to who was on what.
AFTERMATH
I went to sleep shortly after results, informing the three I had not told - the Hedgehog, Butterfly, and Lion - that I would give a full account in the morning.
I have now filled each of them in on what I saw go down, at least with regard to the group chat. I explained my lack of informing them as being a combination of worry about being labelled as a leaker, and believing that there was not a serious threat.
We shall see whether this is an explanation they will accept.
