So there seems to be three theories about why Render was killed. I think we all agree that it was a surprising choice as Render was a probable candidate for a lynch today based, if nothing else, on his missed vote yesterday.
1) Alan's theory that it was a move to clear path or saldana from scrutiny.
2) Lathum's theory that it was a play designed to implicate someone (specifically him, but this could be broadened to cover most Render voters). My problem with this is that if the kill was designed to cast suspicions on someone then it implies that no-one in the group of cronin, Lathum, Barkeep and saldana is a wolf. (I guess you could argue that, if saldana were a wolf, he might hope not to be counted in among the Render-voters because of his late switch). If one of those is a wolf then they wouldn't be trying to implicate a group they are part of. My problem is that I suspect there probably is a wolf somewhere in that group so I can't really buy this theory.
3) Jackal's theory that it was just an easy kill for the wolves who needed to make sure of a night kill after losing one of their numbers so early. I'm probably leaning this way at the moment (despite my vote for saldana). I mentioned already that the self-protection ability probably means that the wolves might feel compelled to target people who they wouldn't necessarily want to.
