Pipe Kath

I am beginning to become rather gloomy about our prospects of finding these Wolves after all, with so few people speaking.

Still, here my thoughts on Kath from a review of her posts.

Day 1

Kath’s only real contribution was to vote for Gil-Galad (#88). Quite possibly, the Wolves decided that they would try to get Gil lynched on Day 1 as he was an easy target and likely to attract a fair few votes (enabling the Wolves to hide amongst them). I suspect that one, and possibly (though less likely) two, Wolves may therefore have voted for Gil. That would implicate Glirdan and Celuien too (and also morm, although I am feeling relatively comfortable about him right now).

Day 2

On Day 2, she was (as far as I can tell) present in the village for about 20 minutes (#209, #211, #217) but, having given a brief outline of Lhuna’s posts, declined to vote or, indeed, to say very much at all about the way she was thinking.

Day 3

Kath said that she had some time to spend in the village on Day 3 (#226), and it seems that she was around for quite some time early on in the Day (see also #236), but she offered no firm opinions at that time. It was only when other villagers started questioning her quietness that (towards the end of the Day) she offered up her long posts going through Days 1 and 2 villager by villager (#292, #322). As I have said previously, I regard these posts are rather unhelpful and they look to me designed to say a lot without offering much in the way of substance. Notably, she offered no opinion on Eomer, but voted for Garin to put him one ahead of Eomer in the voting (#322).

After I voted for her, referring to her quietness and her (to my mind) unhelpful summary, she got rather defensive about it (#307, #309, #314), although the second two of these posts were in response to some questioning from Eomer. Unless the exchange with Eomer was intended to distance them, that does speak in her favour.

Day 4

Her vote for tar-ancalime might be regarded as suspicious (#379), although that depends to a degree on whether tar is a Wolf. Nevertheless, she gave little reasoning of her own for it, relying mainly instead on morm’s strong case against tar. A Wolf piggy-backing on the reasoning of an innocent?

As has been said many times, not a great deal to go on. But, in my view, she certainly remains one of the more suspicious villagers.

I shall take a look at Aiwendil next.
