[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Cailín, in particular, take note.


#32. SpM 'glares at wilwa and Azaelia'. Considers Formendacil most suspicious but says he is 'somewhat disinclined' to vote for him.

#33. Eomer basically agrees with SpM. Voices suspicion of wilwa, Azaelia and Formendacil. Why is this copying? If it's a good idea then it's a good idea.

#39. Eomer says, again, that Formendacil is worth watching.

#42. Eomer changes mind about Formendacil. Admits that it could make himself look bad.

#44. Eomer states again that he has changed his mind about Formendacil. Eomer discusses SpM's wolf criteria – but NOT in an antagonistic manner. Doesn't suspect SpM at all.

#45. SpM appears hurt that Eomer missed the modifications to SpM's wolf criteria. Don't be hurt, sir, I meant no harm or offence; it was accidental.
SpM glides past the Formendacil question. At least Eomer was honest enough to admit that he had changed his mind and that it looked suspicious. SpM actually skips over this, claiming that he saw all along what Formendacil was doing. Are you forgetting something SpM? You said that Formendacil was most suspicious. When did you change your mind, exactly?
SpM gets angry with Eomer. Says I'm backtracking. Wants reasons. Conveniently ignores the reasons I already supplied (that I changed my mind after consideration of strategy) and conveniently ignores his own backtracking. Clever.

#47. Eomer apologises for earlier miss of SpM's modifications. Eomer comments on the similarities between his and SpM's thoughts.

#67. SpM says that Eomer is suspicious because he avoided 'rising to the bait' when SpM was being antagonistic towards Eomer. Does anyone think he would have quelled suspcion of me had I risen to the bait and got angry? No matter what I do or say SpM is picking on me. He sees a target in me and he's going for it, convinced of his own skewed logic, and convinced that he can charm everyone in the village with his pretty prose.

#67. During a rant about misinterpretation, SpM totally misinterprets the words of another villager, Abercrombie of Rohan, when she says 'I do not NOT trust SpM'. Double negative, don't you know? He then has the audacity to suggest that this is a Freudian slip. No, it's just a lack of understanding from you, sir. AoR seems to have casually sidestepped this issue. I won't. That's SpM twisting and shouting as only he can.


(I do not think I have missed anything which adds to these points.)


Because of his prominent position in the village debate, The Saucepan Man is trying to take control by subtle methods of manipulation. Perky Ent alluded to this at the start of Day One and I believe he spoke wisely.

My vote for Azaelia yesterday was due to a lack of (even slightly decent) options. Today, though, I have no doubt in my mind. The Saucepan Man is as treacherous, as cunning and as wolvish as the day is long. Off with his furry head, I say.

++THE SAUCEPAN MAN

I would also ask you all to keep this in mind: I have taken part in numerous treasure hunts and for the most part my ineptitude in them has been terribly evident. By picking on me, The Saucepan Man is attacking an easy target. Not so Eomer of the Rohirrim. The fame of The Saucepan Man is second to none in this accursed land, and his iron-grip is ever strong.

The Saucepan Man will go all out for me after this but do not be intimidated by him. If Eomer were a wolf, he would not be insistent on a quarrel with The Saucepan Man; to act in such a way would be madness. I am foolish and awful at staying out of trouble, but I don't think I'm mad yet. The Saucepan Man is a wolf.
