Nogrod came back puffing his pipe and sat back down to the boulder he had sat on earlier. Guy looked at him questioningly, waiting for his answer. After puffing a few small smokerings Nogrod took the pipe from his lips and looked at guy.
"Now let's think back a little. You remeber Shasta we lynched the first evening? It turned out he was Saeros - an archenemy of Turín our other protector and helper. But there was nothing about cobblery or something like that in any evidence we have - little though that evidence is. Now we have another helper as well, Beleg. Now I just wonder whether he has a similar kind of archenemy among us... that would be Androg then, wouldn't it?
Now what is their nature and part in this madness we're in? I have no knowledge of that but I would be amazed if they were allied with Morgoth's forces. I can see Saeros hating Turín or Androg hating Beleg but it's a bit farfetched to think them allying with the Dark powers just to get rid of these two honourable men.
So it must be something different and thence I thought - and indeed expressly said it yesterDay - that we should not lynch Androg as I believe he will be counted as an innocent in the end. So your theory about me preparing a vote for you in advance kind of falls down at the same time.
But if you manage to convince me that you are not indeed Androg, the situation is different and then I could vote you for sure. Your hastiness to jump on this "incompetetive wolves"-theory, your very detailed defence of my note about your eagerness to jump on me yesterDay and the sudden change, your pre-emptive defence with your theory that I was preparing a vote for you - which was faulty as I showed you - all speak that you're a bit hasty now. I know you young men are always hurrying to action and to conclusions but I just need to think again whether that's only your recklessness or something more sinister..."
With that Nogrod smiled to the guy and took a deep inhale of smoke resulting in violent coughing.
"Gah... I should quit this smoking... But anyhow. You managed to waste my yesterDay's precious waking hours talking about myself and at the same time you managed to lure many others into that as well. Now I think I have more pressing matters to think than these. I'm sorry lad, but I really think we should concentrate on the wolves. Or is the distraction your plan, so a cobbler then after all even if I'm not yet ready to buy that explanation?"
[OOC: Darn metaphors... But I tried to say it in RPG-style. It seems that I didn't succeed or then tgwbs is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill for whatever reason of his. The reputation system was dismantled and then readjusted during our Night as some of you must have noticed. The Downs were offline during that project. I actually checked the times just now and it actually seems to have lasted only something like 1½ hours but as I hadn't been online in the morning (RL) and then just tried to get in a few times before it actually opened again 4PMGMT - I thought that it might have lasted for god knows how many hours - and thence my suspicions. So now I think the no-kill was either due to mistake or deliberate plan - not the "condition of the 'Downs".
I will delete this OOC answer to guy if Legate wishes after people have seen this. I just don't want to delve into explaining this in RPG-style and using the next half an hour to it - and then the rest of the Day arguing about this metaphore with guy...]
