Tol-in-Gaurhoth VII (The Saga goes ever on and on)

[Encaitare]

Oh, dear, somehow poor Fea had it coming. Ungoliant's theories are sound -- the trouble is, which one of them is true, or closer to the truth? Another motive the wolves might have had for killing Fea was that she was big on compiling information, nice and neat, for all of us to see. I would say that morm and TGWBS might merit some watching, but that's about it for now. I sincerely doubt that both of them would be wolves.

Edit: cross-posted with ungoliant.

Please take note, fellow villagers, that I stood back and watched during the lynching of the innocent Nilpaurion. I told you but you would not listen. You who voted for him have no one to blame but yourselves. Why, oh why, does "lynch me" seem to always be obeyed? Will foolish, unenlightened blood-lusting villagers always be swayed by such harmless insanity? As you all now know, Nilpaurion was not in his right mind, or perhaps it would be better stated that he had two too many minds in one head, which is to say that indeed he was crazy, and maybe even wanted to die, but he was not a werewolf, and most of you who voted for him knew it. For shame.

You ask why the werewolves ended the life of Feanor of the Peredhil? Allow me to lend some thoughts to that. They viewed her as dangerous. So say the stars. She was right about something. They dared not leave her alive. So do review what she said, for she made good sense, save for the obligatory lies.

Why did I vote for Guy? Because he is not himself. Before the Moon did its silvery damage and changed him into a lycanthrope, so say the stars, he was always quite helpful and ready to analyze and strategize and plan in the most helpful ways. Yet yesterDay he went wild with accusations, as if he were playing at both life and death. And, he hopped on the innocent Nilpaurion. I still think he is clever and strategic, but this time I think it is so in terms of double bluff, for what villagers would suspect WereGuy of being so stewpid as to so obviously jump on an innocent lynch victim?

I am sorry that I had not the time to explain my vote better yesterDay. My normal means of communicating with all of you has been rendered useless. Let's just say that means that my voice doesn't work except at specific times. Those times are: 11 am until noon GMT, then for one single half hour roughly five hours after that, then for perhaps one hour more roughly four hours after that. And most of that time is spent playing catch-up as to what others have been saying, not to mention discerning the movements of the heavens.

I will make no further defense. My posts speak for themselves.

Durelin, TGWBS wasn't the first one to vote for Nilp. That was Nilp himself.

Woops...thanks, dancing spawn. Overlooked that, I did.

And TORE, that was merely a simple observation, as it was the first line in I believe your first post, so it stuck out to me in my scanning.

[the guy who be short]

Ah, suspicion.

Now, I voted for Nilp because, as I said, I thought it was a cunning bluff. Obviously I was wrong.

First Day.

I'll be accusing some people later... Expect some substance soon, if not sooner, but if not that soon, then I'm afraid it will be more than 12 hours from now.

The reason why it doesn't work to try to develop consensus as to whom the Seer should dream of, whom the Ranger should protect, and whom the Hunter should hunt, is because there are no known innocents. We don't have someone whom we can implicitly trust to lead the way. As soon as one of the shirriffs is revealed, that all changes.

There are a few alternatives to the above, however. By perhaps Day Three, there could be consensus that one of the villagers must be innocent because of how s/he conducts her/imself; that individual could be appointed the leader in organizing the gifteds. However, if and when such leadership occurs, it has to be respected by a strong majority of the villagers so as to counteract influence and votes of the werewolves and cobbler. And any plans that are made, must be agreed to by enough villagers such that the werewolves and cobbler can't destabilize it in some way.

Admittedly, the above has not been garnered from the heavens, but perhaps you might see the merit in it anyway.

That would be most welcome. I do hope that you are able to allay my suspicions of you. You had better do so, for although the stars are at times circumspect in their revelations, there are other ways to determine the truth of a matter. If you take my meaning.

[the guy who be short]

No, it's not a lament.

So, Littlestargazingpoet, I have come with analysis! Behold!

Here is something that made me say GOSH.

In this post, Fea mentions Nilp, Kath, Wilwa and "everybody else." She analysise Nilp according to his history, and jests with Kath about hers.

And then we have Wilwa, who Feanor deems innocent. Wilwa is the only person really picked out here, the only person she comments strongly on. I think the wolves, seeing Feanor pick out one person, thought that she was the Seer, so they killed her.

Wilwarin, I declare, is innocent. The wolves killed Feanor for picking Wilwa as an innocent in such a Seerish way, rather than for picking a wolf (though perhaps she did manage to name one or two; she named so many people that it's not unlikely).

Of course, there could be a little reverse psychology going on, with Wilwa as a wolf, but I like my theory enough to stick to it.

Just making sure.

Interesting theory, TGWBS, I'll chew on that whilst I am busy & hopefully I'll get a chance to summarize some of what's been going on/my thoughts so far.

[Kath]

Completely OOC

I realise I have made myself look rather suspicious what with my lack of a vote yesterday. My explanation is rooted in RL problems (namely the loss of a holiday) and there was no way of getting on the computer at the time. I did not know this before I previously left and so did not vote in my last post. I was only 9 minutes late having begged my parents to just give me 2 minutes but Firefoot had already closed voting. This is pretty much the same reason for my lack of being here so far toDay and I apologise. I should not have this problem again but if I do then I'll take myself out of the game to avoid any further confusion.

I have no time for further analyses of people right now but I will make sure I go over what has been said later on.

[Orominuialwen]

First of all, the reason for my lack of vote yesterDAY was a malfunctioning computer. It froze as I was posting and DAY was over by the time I got it to work again.

As far as I see it, the only reason the wolves got Fea was because she said something that scared them. She most likely named at least one, probably multiple wolves in her accusation and they were afraid that she would continue to point fingers at them. The only problem is that she accused enough people that it's very difficult to figure out who among her accusees is really a wolf.

[Kitanna]

I go off to work, I come back and this happens...poor dear Fea. And to be killed in such a gruesome manner.

And now there seems to be a lot of buzz around TGWBS, some around morm, and some around Kath.
