OK. Now that voting’s more or less done, it seems a good opportunity to set out my thoughts on the remaining villagers. Of course, this will be a complete waste of time and effort if Eomer turns out to be innocent, because you’re all going to lynch me to-Morrow. But that ain’t gonna happen ‘cos (unless I have been taken for a true fool, in which case I deserve to die) Eomer is as guilty as they come.
So, these thoughts are predicated on Eomer’s guilt.
Cailin: For her part in helping us to nail Eomer, I believe her to be innocent. Could have been the Cursed, but her behaviour to-Day speaks strongly against it.
Boromir88: I suspected him yester-Day, but my suspicions have greatly been reduced. Largely because he seems to have spotted the same thing that I did in connection with Eomer. But also because I don’t think that two Wolves voted for me yester-Day and I don’t think that a Wolf would have voted for another Wolf at the stage at which Boro voted for Eomer to-Day.
Mormegil: I have a strong feeling that he was the Cursed and is now a fully paid up member of the fangs and fur club. He would have been a good choice for the Wolves last Night, as he had attracted little suspicion and is a shrewd player - er - villager. He seemed helpful in the first 2 Days, and has continued to try to give that appearance. But his nitpicking of me to-Day got me worried. And his suggestion that both Eomer and I were Wolves, with one of us having been the Cursed, would be a perfect ploy to divert from his own formerly Cursed nature and also to keep suspicion of me up to-Morrow with one Wolf down to-Day. His vote for Alcarillo rang alarm bells with me too. With it being odds on that either Eomer or I was a Wolf, and even the innocent one’s death being of help, it was sensible to keep the voting between the two of us to-Day, rather than brining in alternative candidates, particularly ones like Alcarillo with little in the way of strong evidence against them.
Wilwarin: Another Wolf. She has been from the start. Throughout, she has said very little, and nothing much of substance at all. Yester-Day and to-Day, she made no accusations other than of the ones she voted for. Her grief for Perky (the oh crap and all that) seemed over done to me. She introduced the plan of looking for the new Wolf by trying to second guess the Wolves’ choice of victim, a plan that seemed to me to be designed to divert us away from the evidence before our eyes concerning the original Wolves to-Day. And she voted for Alcarillo to-Day, so the same reasoning applies in that regard as with mormegil.
Marcolie Lamen: I did suspect her quite strongly, and still believe that she may still be a Wolf. Her vote for Eomer could have been a Wolf-on-Wolf vote, sacrificing the doomed Eomer in an effort to establish innocent credentials.
Abercrombie: Not a lot to go on. But seemed over-sensitive to Cailin’s oversight and suggestion that she had not been under suspicion. Seized on wilwa’s plan to look for the fourth Wolf with relish. Again, vote for Eomer could have been a Wolf-on-Wolf vote.
Arcticstorm: After yester-Day’s fiasco with Perky, I was inclined to think him probably innocent. But he has said very little of help to-Day. His vote for Eomer could have been a Wolf-on-Wolf vote, but, as it condemned Eomer to the lynch mob, I am doubtful. If he was a Wolf, it would have been sensible to wait to see if someone else condemned Eomer, and then vote for him. Unsure, but still inclined to view favourably.
Formendacil: I really don’t know. He has said little, but what he has lacked in quantity, he has made up for with quality. He also pushed wilwa’s Wolf 4 search party idea, but his vote for me to-Day makes him less suspicious in my eyes. With Eomer condemned, a Wolf would surely have looked to put in a Wolf-on-Wolf vote, rather than voting for one who is soon (I hope) to be shown to have been one of those instrumental in getting said Wolf lynched.
Alcarillo: Very little to go on, but I do not see any evidence really that speaks of his guilt. He voted for Gil on Day 1 and Perky on Day 2, but it is inevitable that innocents will end up voting for other innocents, especially in the early stages. His late vote for Gil on Day 1 (effectively to condemn him) speaks in his favour as far as I am concerned, since I still believe that the Wolves would have wanted to keep Gil around for a few Days to take the heat off them.
Azaelia: As with Boro, I suspected her yester-Day for her vote for me. But I’m fairly sure that only one Wolf voted for me yester-Day, which makes her a lot less suspicious in my eyes. Very similar to wilwa in having contributed little of substance. But, whereas I believe that wilwa could get stuck in if she wanted to, I suspect that this is just Azaelia’s style. In any event, it is highly doubtful that both Azaelia and wilwa are Wolves, since they would avoid acting so similarly. And, to my mind, the evidence against wilwa looks stronger than the evidence against Azaelia.
So, my top suspects are mormegil (as the fourth Wolf) and wilwarin. Not really sure about the remaining Wolf, but Abercrombie and Marcolie Lamen seem possible candidates.
