The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

Alas poor littlemanpoet, I liked his pies (until to-Day, that is. *Urk!*).

But why did the Bear kill him of all people? As he said on numerous occasions, he was a prime suspect - for Cobbler if not Bear. Perhaps the Bear thought that he was the Seer. That seems the most likely reason.

And it's a shame about Nonnacedak, for he served the Village well in rooting out the Wolves. I am sorry for my part in his death.

Oh well, as always, here's yester-Day's voting:

1. Menel for SamwiseGamgee (SamwiseGamgee - 1)
2. Nonnacedak for SamwiseGamgee (SamwiseGamgee – 2)
3. Durelin for SpM (SamwiseGamgee – 2; SpM – 1)
4. Boromir88 for LMP (SamwiseGamgee – 2; SpM – 1; LMP - 1)
5. Gurthang for Nonnacedak (SamwiseGamgee – 2; SpM – 1; LMP – 1; Nonnacedak - 1)
6. LMP for SpM (SamwiseGamgee – 2; SpM – 2; LMP – 1; Nonnacedak - 1)
7. SpM for Nonnacedak (SamwiseGamgee – 2; SpM – 2; LMP – 1; Nonnacedak - 2)
8. Dancing spawn for Nonnacedak (SamwiseGamgee – 2; SpM – 2; LMP – 1; Nonnacedak - 3)
9. SamwiseGamgee for Nonnacedak (SamwiseGamgee – 2; SpM – 2; LMP – 1; Nonnacedak - 4)

A few thoughts occur.

I doubt that those who voted for me are guilty of anything more than Cobblerishness. LMP, as we now know, was innocent (poor chap - that rant was genuine after all ) and Durelin I now suspect as the Cobbler.

Boromir88's vote is interesting. He voted for LMP at a time when LMP had not yet arrived in the Village Hex and seemed a dead cert (to me at least) for Cobbler. Might he be the Bear - trying to avoid suspicion by voting for someone he thought few others would vote for? Then LMP gets pureed. Could it be a set-up, or a bold double-bluff?

And SamwiseGamgee's vote is also worth noting. Unusually, he waited until the last minute to vote. Perhaps any Villager who looks in danger of being lynched would do the same thing. But it may have been the desparate attempt of a Bear doing his best to avoid the noose. He could, of course, have tied Nonnacedak and me for a double lynching, but that would have looked too suspicious.

That said, the Bear could still be any one of you. One thing's for certain. I am not the Bear. I hope that you all realise that and don't go wasting any votes on me today.

Of course, if the Seer dreamed of the Bear last Night, then we are in luck and the Village is saved. If not, then I trust the Seer's judgment to say no more than he or she feels able.

But beware, folks. We probably only have two more Days (three at most) to get this right.
