It's this kind of negative lamentation that I find so suspicious. It appears as an appeal to the goodness of the poster -- ...' Seems so artificial to me.

So is there a positive lamentation you approve of? If I were lamenting the situation it was befcause, not having home access I had been sitting around after a long day and week in a draughty library then cybercafe for the sake of reading about 20 posts over more than 4 hours, I assure you any negative feelings were quite genuine.

Of course those who pop in and make a couple of posts are beyond reproach...

That is what I will be doing today but not for that reason I have been sick and now seem to be running a temperature so I think it may not just be my lactose intolerance. Whatever it is I want to get home soon so....

I will try to read through again and make a vote that won't be completely random - though I observe that voting at literally the last minute while exhorting everyone else to make a decision has been a trait of a wolvish Nogrod in recent games I have played.

However random votes that seal someone's fate are also noteworthy as are following on someone elses coat tails - I have started to think of Eonwe as Eomer's mini-me now .

On my first skim I am intrigued by the reaction to the ranger save - now I wouldn't expect effusive congratulation but.... oddness lots of oddness. But I am afraid my next post will quite possibly be my last.
