You misunderstand me. I was speculating that Eomer had resolved himself to his fate and thought that, by encouraging Celuien to vote for tar, it would make a Wolfish tar look better today. At that point, it looked almost certain that he would be lynched no matter what. Eomer was on five votes and tar on three. All three remaining votes would have had to have gone to tar for her to be lynched in Eomer's place and, given the timing, it looked unlikely that Farael and Glirdan would appear.
Rather elaborate, I know. And it assumes that neither Farael nor Glirdan are Wolves. I am inclined to the view that Farael is a more likely Wolf than tar-ancalime, but I will try to take a closer look at tar tomorrow.
