Tol-in-Gaurhoth III (The Saga Continues...)

[the phantom]

I personally think that even if he is not a werewolf, the very fact he is nudging us in that direction is a perfect reason not to hang the phantom this DAY. As he says, he’s not been right yet. At the very least we should do something that he does not want us to do.

Heh- can't argue with that.

Fordim said-

Put bluntly, TP is either a wolf or an innocent who is helping the wolves by distracting our attention with his own suspicious behaviour, and slinging enough mud around to fill a horse paddock.

And Kuru answered-

I also fail to see why you can suspect the phantom over The Saucepan Man in this area. As a matter of fact, I think that if you are really honestly of that opinion you’d hang The Saucepan Man far sooner than the phantom.

I agree with that.

A Saucepan Man who has specifically instigated the hanging of two innocents over a phantom who did not take a leading role in either...I’m skeptical of your reasoning (to put it mildly).

Good point again, Kuru. As I also pointed out, Fordim's preference of me over Saucy makes little sense.

To me the evidence reads that there is a much stronger possibility that The Saucepan Man is a werewolf than the phantom. This does not mean that I believe the phantom is not a werewolf. It does mean that I think we should hang the Saucepan Man first and then see what happens before we start acting on different speculation.

I completely agree.

Can anyone think of a reason why it would be better for us to lynch him? Ignoring all the suspicions flying around is there any reason why one of them (phantom or spm) is a better choice than the other?

Did you skip Kuru's post?

As I suspected, people are not reading my post. Why do I even bother...

I read it.

It was very good.

I was already going to cast my vote for Saucy, but now I am a bit more confident in my vote.
