Tol-in-Gaurhoth IV (The Saga, erm, Still Continues...)

[the phantom]

I suppose I understand your point, Lalaith, but I think a second wolf stepping in to save Eomer would have been worse for the wolves because if that second wolf ever gets lynched then we would know he was protecting someone on day one.

And seeing as there were many people tied, it would have been likely that he was protecting two someones, since one single wolf would be glad to die if he can take five or six people with him.

I believe that Eomer was the logical choice to save himself.

Phantom and Feanor, possibly (there's a bit too much Beatrice and Benedick in their rowing)

Well, all I can say to that is Fea and I act like that all the time, even when we're not in this werewolf-plagued town. It's a combination of competitiveness, love of arguing, and extreme chemical and biological attraction.

I'm agreeing with his thoughts for the most part. But I can't be highly suspicious of Eomer either.

Why not? I think my case I've made is pretty strong. I believe that he killed Azalia because he thought he could set me up today, and the reason he is going after Saurreg as well is because he thinks we are sheriffs.

Read my last couple of posts again.

Please read my above post again Phantom I had to make an edit and in that time you had already posted. I do believe you have some very solid evidence and therefore will not be needing to read your posts again.

Perhaps I'm simply too merciful, and want to give others as much chance as they can get. On the other hand being merciful when blood crazed hairy demons are prowling about won't save me from their foaming maws. And I don't want to pick you simply because you chose me by chance. That would be foolish, especially if you happen to be one of our remaining gifted.

Thank you for your kind offer of candles, Esgalhugwen, it is good that someone is thinking of the children at this terrible time.
But where is Anguirel?

Your welcome Lalaith, someone has to think of the children, pray that they survive this.

And good point, what has befallen Anguirel? I hope he has not been trapped in RL again.

[the phantom]

what has befallen Anguirel?

I am somewhat concerned about him too, but I'm going to leave him (and others) alone for a while and wait for more people to post their thoughts on my theory about Eomer being a wolf and killing Azalia in order to set me up today.

Speak up, villagers. Doesn't my idea (found here and here) make sense- or at least as much sense as anything else we have?

[Esgallhugwen]

I agree with Phantom, please start to speak up fellow villagers. I don't want to be rushed to vote but I have to go soon and I am worried I won't be able to make it back in time to vote. I want to hear what the others can bring to the discussion.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Well, all I can say to that is Fea and I act like that all the time, even when we're not in this werewolf-plagued town. It's a combination of competitiveness, love of arguing, and extreme chemical and biological attraction.

Thanks a lot, jerk. I just choked on my white chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups (or their canonical equivalent) because that last part of your explanation made me laugh so hard.

Anyhow... There's nothing more clarifying than taking a few steps back (or, more accurately, spending a few hours out of town) to see who's accusing who, and who's alliances changed over night.

Phantom, I want to lynch you. I haven't figured out if the reason I suspect you so much is because after your condescending "I wouldn't expect you to understand" type insults yesterday, not to mention your undying superiority complex, I've been looking for reasons to think you're guilty. Which is why I'm not going to vote for you. Again. I don't want sheer annoyance with your self-preservation to cloud my vote. Not that it isn't endearing and all, but you know... still annoying.

And guys, you're looking at the phantom's non-death or potential death all wrong. Who argued most against him yesterday? I did. Because he's got a sketchy idea. So if the werewolves really wanted to frame somebody by killing our phantasmic buddy, they'd slaughter him brutally in order to make me look guilty. If he's a werewolf, he'd know that he could get me by sacrificing himself to the masses. See, the idea is that he's put forth the idea that either he's a wolf or a gifted villager. Since the wolves didn't kill him last night, it means that either he's a wolf, or that the wolves want us to think he is, and save themselves the trouble by letting us deal with him. I'm pretty much thinking the latter right now, but my thoughts change a lot.

The fact that the wolves got the hunter was a lucky strike.

The wolves didn't get the hunter. Heck, the villagers didn't even get the hunter. We accidentally killed the Ranger. There's a big difference.

The other thought I had regarding the slaying was that Azaelia was, along with Feanor and myself, the most vocal opponent of phantom's volunteer plan. However, unlike Feanor and myself, Azaelia failed to vote

Firefoot was pretty vocal against the phantom also. Just to point out.

Now... I have a big problem. I have places to see, things to go, and people to... wait a minute... Strike that, reverse it. My problem is that I cannot stay online all that much longer, and the chances of me getting online tomorrow are not high, since I'll be away from home from 8:00 AM 'til 9:00 PM EST, if I even make it home at all. So I have to vote... right now.

Since I haven't distrusted Eomer today as much as I've distrusted the phantom, and I've already said I'm not voting against the phantom today... it means that I have to pick somebody else. It was pointed out that my accusation of Spawn was random. It wasn't. It just seemed that way because I hadn't mentioned it before, and when I finally did, I didn't bother to share with you why I was suspicious. Here's why: yesterday when I "left to go paint", she hadn't posted very often. Thrice, to be exact. She made comments on what was going on, and she made certain that she was actually there, but at the same time, she was not contributing personal opinions. That makes me nervous. I'm more comfortable around loudmouths, because even if they're hiding over half of what they're thinking, they're still saying enough to potentially damn themselves. If that's not a sign of innocence, I don't know what is, since wolves like to stay out of the hangman's noose, if you'll pardon the pun.

So... my vote... since I'm long-windedly procrastinating. Eeny meeny miny... no... I can't do that. That's just not fair. Not Eomer, because I don't suspect him, even though I've spent the better part of two days harassing him. I just wanted to see him squirm. Not the phantom, because I don't want to vote for him for the wrong reasons. That leaves me to contemplate my suspects from yesterday, because today nobody is doing anything sketchy. I don't much suspect Dancing Spawn right now, though I don't know why I shouldn't. Maybe it's because I've been so busy agonizing over those other two loudmouths.

Regretfully... I must vote, by default, for the other person on my day one suspect list. ++LITTLEMANPOET, I'm terribly sorry if you're innocent, but since I've cancelled out the other three... You know... maybe I should just volunteer myself to be lynched. It would mean less thinking.
