On my phone, I agree in getting an insta to avoid phantoms. Out of Sonic and Meta Knight I think the case is stronger against Sonic and would like to lynch there.
After reviewing both players in depth, I think that Meta Knight is a stronger case than Sonic.
Sonic's posts themselves read to me as uninterested green. Getting a phantom is unwolflike, claiming to want to catch up without actually doing it is unwolflike, especially after reentering the radar.

Why would Bowser (a wolf) say that what Wii Fit Trainer (also a wolf) said "doesn't deserve to be mentioned?" Is it because my hunch was right?
Once I found out they were both wolves I thought this plainly read as Bowser being mad that WFT cheated and gave his team a disadvantage, nothing more.
Bowser's posts about Sonic were enough to raise my eyebrow, but not enough to change my read. I think he's more likely to be human, though I wish desperately that he would make some real words someday so that I could make a call with any confidence at all.
Second Pikachu? Hardly. I suppose now that my name has come up I will provide some insight. Instead of repeatedly bandwagoning, maybe what we actually need to do is re evaluate everything that has led us to this point so far. Originally many town members were killed during the night or lynched, and recently there has been a fantastic trend of wolf deaths. I believe that we should not compromise that by just assuming us inactives are not paying attention just because we have not posted.

So is everyone wanting a Pikachu lynch?
The thing that weirds me out about both these posts is where the lynch was at when he made them. There was 8.1/9 votes required for an insta before both Meta Knight's defense of Pikachu and his sudden "so wait does EVERYONE want to lynch Pikachu?" Most of the lock clear had already made their choice, so why the defense, and why the hesitance to finish the job? It reads red to me. Both Meta Knight and Donkey Kong. I think he's more likely of the two.
His sudden gear change from defending Pikachu to asking whether that was our final answer doesn't sit right with me. It was only 30 minutes between the two posts, and his defense of wanting to make sure that was what the town wanted so close to insta doesn't sit well with me. I think it was clear what town wanted to do when he entered the thread in the first place.
I also just don't like how Meta Knight criticized us as if "repeatedly bandwagoning" (??) was the wrong approach, as if we hadn't been killing it so far.
Okay, I looked over a bit of the thread and I agree that Meta Knight seems fairly red from the few posts he's made. Charizard's points on Donkey Kong aren't helping his case either. Would rather have him lynched over Sonic, given there's some substance for a Meta Knight suspicion, whereas Sonic is just inactive.
Yoshi's nonchalance and completely ignoring the potential traction on Meta Knight makes me even more suspicious of him.
This is metagame phooey, but it's another factor in why I suspect Meta Knight: I think that given the shortage of replacement candidates, wolves would be take replacement priority.
Two hours left and I still haven't seen much compare and contrast since this lynch turned into an MK/Sonic issue. Yoshi and Charizard have shown preference to Sonic. Me, Dedede, and Link have shown preference to MK. Kirby's cool with either. Zelda and Little Mac have votes on Sonic right now, but they're from before MK was on the table.
Rosalina? Pit? Villager? Any of you human inactives that happen to be in the thread right now? This is a really easy issue to weigh in on, they're players who don't involve much reading. 5ish posts on Meta Knight, 5ish posts from Donkey Kong who he replaced, 5ish posts from Sonic. Now's a great time to speak up.
Really Inaccurate Votecount Off The Top of Mega Man's Head:
Sonic - 5
Kirby, Charizard, Yoshi, Little Mac, Zelda
Meta Knight - 3
Dedede, Mega Man, Link
Everyone Else - ?
I Don't Know
I think instaing either will still happen, since we have enough actives in thread willing to switch votes that we can just make a decision and then move our votes accordingly.
But I was reeeeeally hoping we'd get another opinion or two in here before getting to that decision making part.
