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

[Lalaith]

At the moment, I have a job to do and babes to tend. But when I have time I will go through this entire wretched thread and sift through the evidence so far, and then post my assessment.
But for the moment I will repeat this: I agree that by the time the votes had mounted up, the other wolves (or wolf) might have been tempted to leave their absent friend to her fate, as she was taking so many with her.
But any wolf present in the last hour or so of voting would know that Eomer at least was watching and waiting, and they knew he would save himself by voting for someone else, even if no-one else did. But he voted more or less at random, he could just as easily have gone for Esgal, which would mean that they lose a wolf with no extra gain.
So I suspect that the wolves simply weren't there, or were amongst those who got confused by the timezones, which means that those who voted weren't wolves.
