Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIII: Enter Shamville

[Anguirel]

LMP's approach contradicts the dead loremaster's advice so heavily that it's really worth making a comparison.

I must note that littlemanpoet has been talking...a lot. This is not necessarily bad. In fact, it might be good. On the other hand, it might indicate he is unduly excited about...something.

I am glad to see that the votes are spread out so far. I hope that continues.

His first statement might as well read "I don't hold with planmongery, whether it wears well or no." With that I wholeheartedly agree. Spontaneity achieves what rigidity cannot imagine.

His second statement amounts to an unformed but healthy suspicion of LMP's verbosity.

Finally, he appeals that votes remain spread out.

Yet it seems to me that Our Lord High Undertaker And Presiding Superintendent In Charge Of Timezones Who Drops Hints About Being A Seer In His Spare Time is now advocating-wait for it-an inflexible plan based on democratic and so suspect means, that involves narrowing the candidates for lynching to an arbitrarily selected trio.

I'm only a jester, for all you know at any rate, but it seems mighty peculiar to me. A vote for LMP seems rather more than a shot in the dark, though it may amount to the same thing...oops, I'm going "eerie" again.

I will be sleeping and working for most of the middle part of toDay.
