Analysis of Underhill’s posts

Day 1:

First post – introductory, with character Ghân-undé-Ghân. Questions morm’s idea of voting.

Second post – questions Boro’s abrasive tone and Anguirel’s offering himself up. Assumes that wolves won’t be the quiet ones. Posits his own and Esty’s innocence.

Third post – votes for Anguirel because he offered himself up, mentions busyness as reason for limited posting and newbieness for uncertainty.


Day 2:

First post – mourns Ang’s death and the fact that he is suspected because of his vote. Asks innocents not to offer themselves in future. Points out that Cailín’s death cannot be credited to any of us except the hunter, thus making votes for her irrelevant. Analyzes the point of time for people’s votes. Pleads inexperience; top suspect is Fea.

Second post – tries unsuccessfully to find evidence about Cailín in posts 41 to 51

Third post – emphasizes inexperience and lack of knowledge of players’ styles. Questions Lhuna’s reasons for voting for him.

Fourth post – wonders whether voting late is advantage or disadvantage. Suspects Fea. Questions suspicion of Shelob.

Fifth post – explains computer problems as reason for less involvement on previous day. Understand reasons for Shelob votes; does not think Form is wolf; votes for Fea, though he says a vote for Shelob could save himself. Hopes that will prove his innocence.


Day 3:

First post – agrees with morm that Fea is probably not guilty. Suspects Enca more. Tries to understand wolves’ reason for killing LMP.

Second post – less convinced of Fea’s guilt. Increased suspicion of Form based on his voting for Underhill twice. Enca and Form are top suspects.

Third post – writes about lagging behind in experience and tactics. Votes for Formendacil, based on his voting pattern. Good thoughts on wolvish reasoning. Could also have voted for Enca.

Fourth post – would have voted for Enca had he known of the tie possibility.


Day 4:

First post – List of voting order. Gives convincing thoughts on Formy’s voting. Suspicion of tgwbs increases, which would exonerate Boromir. His voting early possible wolvish strategy? Tends to believe Boro’s story of playing seer to get suspicion away from morm. Agrees with my comments on involvement and wolvishness, which means he hardly suspects me. Fea and Enca top suspects. Speaks up for the double-lynching strategy.

Second post – analysis of tgwbs. Brings up some valid points which make him more suspicious.

Third post – agrees to morm’s chain analysis idea.

Fourth post – remarks to Fea on individualism.


I have done my best to look at Underhill’s posts objectively, though he and I have been in a parallel situation as newcomers to this game and have not suspected each other seriously. I know he is a talented writer who could probably make his devious posts sound genuine if he wanted to, but they seem sincere to me, especially when he describes his feelings of inexperience and bewilderment. He has gathered momentum as the game proceeded and has contributed good thoughts to the discussion. I don’t agree with him on his conclusions concerning Boromir and Fea, but I can see absolutely nothing in his posting or voting that looks wolvish to me. I know his dependability enough to make me think that he would attempt to do his “duty” more if he had the “responsibility” of being a wolf. He has not attempted to influence others noticeably, which I would also consider wolvish behaviour.
