There was no way out, right?

With the Lord Sauron orchestrating your demise, how could there have been?
Seriously, I had WAY too much fun coming out in the open with that post... way too much fun. So kudos, kudos, kudos, to Anguirel for giving me the opportunity to be the Dark Lord.
My strategym such as it was, was to get a list of "proven innocents (or proven Heroes) and present them to the village after four dreams or so. Had I been in apparent danger, I would have revealed all earlier, but luck was on my side.
The night that I voted for Mithalwen, I really and truly had absolutely no idea who in the place was a Hero. I was just really grateful that Huan was dead- since it meant that I couldn't be mistaking about any of my real villagers. My vote for Mith was, as someone pointed out, a cop-out. However, it did a VERY good job of putting me back on the "suspicion list", which assured (in my mind) that the Heroes would leave me be for a while.
Then came the Meneltarmacil debacle and Morm's great plan- which irked me because it was too similar- and too soon- to my plan. However, it gave me the perfect cover. Not to mention the perfect set up for the post of Lord Sauron's fury!
And, to Morm:
Consider it a mark of my highest esteem for you as a Tol-In-Gaurhother that I dreamed of you at the very beginning. I wanted to know from the outset who's side you were on.
