Hmmm... this is a most quiet village indeed. I haven't posted all that often, due to work and such, but I have a strange feeling, as though I'm in the upper rather than the lower ranks for posting on this thread... and this is the slowest start to a Day we've had yet.

Makes it that much harder to spot werewolves, of course, if I may be permitted to continue in the pessimistic vein I seem to have been characterised as following throughout this game.

Anyway, to my analysis of those who voted for Elf-warrior.

Nilp - Eönwë
Kitanna - Aganzir
Mithalwen - Elf-Warrior
Ka - Eönwë
Elf-Warrior - Eönwë
Form - Elf-Warrior
Eomer - Elf-Warrior
Shastanis Althreduin - Eönwë
Eönwë - Elf-Warrior
Rikae - Elf-Warrior
Nerwen - Elf-Warrior
Sally - Elf-Warrior
Boromir88 - Elf-Warrior
Aganzir - Elf-Warrior
Nogrod = Kitanna

Which makes for a total of 9 votes for Elf-Warrior, 4 votes for Eönwë, and 1 each for Aganzir and Kitanna, plus whoever abstained (Kath and Durelin for sure).

I sincerely hope, given the sheer number of EW votes, that I won't be considered odd for thinking there's a wolf hidden in them somewhere--although I'm actually inclined to think otherwise, given how absolutely bandwaggonish they are. Indeed, after Rikae's vote, they are all essentially tacked on: they neither assisted in getting EW dead (save insofar as they didn't increase the Eönwë count), nor did they come with much in the way of justification.

Nerwen, of course, is since proved a wolf, and she's the first of the four random votes that just got tacked on the in the last minutes. The fact that there's one known wolf in that number makes me suspect that another is unlikely to hide there (although there's alway the newly-bitten to consider), but the case could also be made that where one thought it safe to hide, another might also--especially since Nerwen was already garnering sufficient attention that another wolf doing likewise might well hope to lie hid.

I'll be back later with more thoughts... going to go stew over it for a while first.
