The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
1420!

First, for the sake of good form (and partially for the sake of good Form ), here is yesterday's voting:

1. Kath for mormegil (mormegil-1)
2. Nilp for Gil-Galad (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-1)
3. Glirdan for Gil-Galad (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2)
4. mormegil for Formendacil (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-1)
5. Garin for Márcolië (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-1, Márcolië-1)
6. SpM for Naria (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-1, Márcolië-1, Naria-1)
7. Naria for Formendacil (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-2, Márcolië-1, Naria-1)
8. Dancing spawn for malkatoj (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-2, Márcolië-1, Naria-1, malkatoj-1)
9. malkatoj for Naria (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-2, Márcolië-1, Naria-2, malkatoj-1)
10. Formendacil for Naria (mormegil-1, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-2, Márcolië-1, Naria-3, malkatoj-1)
11. TGWBS for mormegil (mormegil-2, Gil-Galad-2, Formendacil-2, Márcolië-1, Naria-3, malkatoj-1)

Did not vote: Gil-Galad, Márcolië

Secondly, I would like to thank the Wolves for not killing me last night. I was pretty sure that they would, after I started the voting for Naria. It's why I overslept ...

Thirdly, although I mourn the death of Marcolie as much as I would any innocent, I would also like to thank the Wolves for killing someone who would have been one of my chief suspects today. While I see the sense in what people are saying about them killing Wolves who leave little trail, it is nevertheless helpful to me that they are narrowing down my list of suspects.

Fourthly, I would like to thank malkatoj for declaring herself. Given the pattern of Wolfish kills, she would have been in danger tonight and she has provided excellent quality information. It was the right thing to do, malka. I suppose we cannot be absolutely sure about her until everyone has posted, but instinctively I believe her.

Fifth, I would like to curse TGWBS for being such a fiendishly good Wolf. I was beginning to have some concerns about him, based on his determined attack on morm, but I wonder whether we would actually have pegged him without malka's help.

Assuming malka is the Seer, the following remain unknowns:

dancing spawn of ungoliant
Kath
Garin
Glirdan
Gil-galad


I am inclined to think that Garin is innocent on the basis that the Wolves' kills have often seemed to incriminate him. He was the only villager whom Marcolie's death pointed towards. I suspect that the Wolves have been making a concerteds effort to frame him all along, although I do not discount the possibility of a fiendish double bluff.

Glirdan, I still see as innocent for the reasons stated yesterday. I have seen nothing to change that analysis.

Given TGWBS' staunch defence of her, I am now more concerned about Kath than I was before.

Spawn worries me also, on the basis that I have instinctively trusted her all along for the good sense that she talks. I felt the same way about TGWBS.

As for Gil-Galad - well, who knows?

As others have pointed out, there may well be a Cobbler among those who have been declared innocent. While we need to bear that in mind, I do not think we should overly concern ourselves with finding him or her at this stage. We have more pressing matters to attend to.

I will withold my vote for now. It will almost certainly be for TGWBS, but there remains a possibility that it will be needed elsewhere. In the meantime, I have some further research to do, based on the knowledge that we now have.
