For what it is worth, I found these to be the most interesting quotes of the day so far.

1.) Tyrith suggests that Lathum was responsible for starting the runaway on Swaggs
2.) Pass suggests that Lathum isn't responsible

This doesn't mean much if Swaggs does end up as a Cutthroat. But if he is a member of the Rich, then my suspicious mind is starting to try and figure out if there is some meaning here.

- very, very unlikely that Tyrith and Lathum are both members of the Cutthroats
- what motivation would Pass have for semi-defending Lathum? Genuine concern about what he sees as misguided thought process? Or something more sinister - Cutthroat providing cover for Cutthroat? I saw this sort of thing pretty frequently last game when Pass was a member of "Team Cougar".

Absent better information, I think that is where I would want to look tomorrow. It is also where I would point someone if they win the "Seer" service and are looking for suggestions.
