Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIV: Nyárë Nauroron Númenoreva

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The last hour's posting have not helped me decide who to vote for. I will vote for Wayne, because of his odd vote and the fact that it will be very difficult to decide if he is a wolf or not.

++Waynethegoblin

There is an hour left, I guess that is time enough not to get a dubble lynch

[wilwarin538]

So the votes are:

Spawn (2)
Formendacil (2)
Wayne (2)
Lhuna
Aiwendil
Gurthang
Fordim
Jack

Out of the three with 2 votes Formendacil was the one who had more of my suspicion. I would like to vote for Jack but that would be rather piontless and I don't want to be accused later of keeping the double lynch. So I think the best choice would be:

++Formendacil

I hope that wasn't a bad choice.

[mormegil]

Interesting that so many people think Formendacil is guilty. His statement that he's wolf seemed more sarcastic rhetoric to me and he was merely trying to make a point that Gurthang was hasty and we are all being a bit paranoid here. But that's just my take on it.

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

I think that mormegil is right: it seems a bit, well, harsh to punish Formy for what was more than likely to be a bit of ill-advised rhetoric than a bold admission... The point he was making is a good one, although he made it in a bit of a ham-fisted way. Anyone can be a wolf for all we know right now....

..but if he gets lynched I guess we'll find out for sure what he meant by that.

This here post, though, is really a plea for those remaining voters to do their best to avoid a double-lynching: the only folk as will be pleased with that will be the wolves as the odds of getting even one wolf even with two killings is still only 2 in 15.

Back to polishing those pearls...and keeping an eye on these here goings-on.

EDIT: Please see the "discussion" thread for my explanation of my presence here when I said I wouldn't be back today.

[Aiwendil]

Okay, since Boromir88 has indicated a willingness to vote against Dancing Spawn, we should be able to avoid a double lynch. I simply don't think there's any real evidence against Formendacil at this point. So my vote is:

++Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant

Now if Boromir88 and SPM allow a double lynch, we'll know they're up to no good.

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, voting deadlines comin’ up. And it’s ’bout time I aired my views on what has gone on today and how I view each of you, my fellow villagers.

Aiwendil: Seen naught to change my initial view. Helpful and sensible contributions. Naught to suggest Wolfishness.

Boromir88: That there lad, ’e be ’ard work on the ears. Wish ’e could speak proper like me. But sensible thoughts, when I can unnerstand wot he dun be sayin’. Again, naught to suggest Wolfishness as yet.

Dancing spawn: Took badly to Aiwendil’s comments ‘bout the Seer. But I’m sure we are all concerned to protect our Seer (those of us as are innocent, that is). And I can’t reall see ‘ow it makes ‘er any more likely to be a Wolf than anyone else.

Fordim Hedgethistle: Suspicious, for the reasons I have stated before. Not contributing nearly enough for one so bright.

Formendacil: Looks like ‘e might be for the chop today. Can’t for the life of me see why. He’s done naught but flippantly claim to be a Wolf and then voted randomly. I don’t believe a Wolf would joke ‘bout isself bein’ a Wolf (although mayhaps that’s what ‘e wants us to think). Not nearly enough to go on.

Gurthang: The lad is correct that I still be suspicious of ‘im, following the revelation of this grand plan of ‘is. ‘E claims that is early vote was to spark conversation and protect the Seer. Well, as I said, ye can spark conversation without goin’ as far as to vote so early. And as for protecting yon’ Seer, well ’e ain’t doin’ a good job ’bout it. Why go an’ admit to it if that were what you were doin’, lad? It ain’t gonna work now you’ve done that. Could well be a Wolf who’s realised that ‘is plan to deflect suspicion ‘asn’t worked and is now frantically back-pedalling. Remains suspicious.

Holbytlass: Her suggestion that we look at those as kill animals for a livin’ was a bit strange, but then she’s not the only one who’s been making random accusations.

Jack: Reaction to Holby’s list raises some suspicions, but not much else to go on.

Kath: Didn’t like the way she seized on Jack’s words so eagerly. Is her tendency to confuse Fordim and Formendacil part of a strategy to confuse? I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

Lhunadarwen: Not a lot to go on. Early vote for WaynetheGoblin was explained. And who can blame anyone for voting for Wayne?

Mormegil: Not a lot to go on, but seems helpful and constructive.

Rune: Still keeping’ an eye on him for ’is tit-for-tat accusation of me. But ’as done very little else to attract suspicion.

The Saucepan Man: Innocent, I tell thee.

WaynetheGoblin: Who knows with Wayne? ‘E’s a man of few words and those that ‘e utters tell us little. Could be a Wolf or a Cobbler, but could just as well be an ordinary innocent or even a gifted. I won’t risk voting for ‘im - not yet anyways.

Wilwarin: Little to go on, but naught too suspicious so far.

Of course, there are a few there as ‘ave done little or naught to suggest any guilt on their part. Mayhaps, they are the ones as we should be worried about. But for now, I’m probably going to vote for one of them I find suspicious based on what they have said today.

I’m off for a smoke and a think. Back shortly to vote.

[Alcarillo]

DAY 1 will end in 5 minutes. Post anything else you have to say now.

[The Saucepan Man]

Cross-posted there with a few voters.

Well now it looks plain that dancing spawn will be lynched today. Can't say that I have any real reason to suspect either her or Formendacil. Nuthin I can do now will change today's outcome. So I shall make my position clear by placing my vote where it 'as been hovering all day - 'twixt Master Hedgethistle and Master Gurthang - and falling on:

++ FORDIM HEDGETHISTLE

[Gurthang]

Should the wolves choose to kill me tonight, I'd advise you all to look at Formendacil(if he's still alive). It may very well be that the wolves are killing me to set him up, so be careful. But it is just as likely that they would kill me because he is a wolf and they realize that I am the Seer.

Current leaders:

Spawn-4
Formendacil-3

[Aiwendil]

Three votes against Formendacil - that seems a bit strange to me, considering he's posted but once so far and didn't say anything particularly suspicious, in my view. Sure, he joked about being a wolf. But is this sufficient evidence to lynch him?

Of the likely candidates, I'm much more inclined to vote for Dancing Spawn, for reasons mentioned earlier. But I don't want to cause a double lynch. I'll wait a little bit more . . .

[Boromir88]

So far we 'ave 12 people whos voted. I think it's myseln, Panman, an' Aiwendil lef' to vote.

I relly 'ave no idear who to go for. I s'pose I should go for Formendacil; 'e did say he wus a wulf. I relly dun see why though a wulf wuld be so stupid in the beginnin'. And shure, I aint afeared to call it stupid, cus it is stupid, if 'es a wolf. But, I dun think a wolf wuld be stupid 'nuff to say 'es a wulf. I relly 'ave no idear whut Formendacil is plannin' wit' tis wulf talk.

So, now my thinkin' is to tie it back up (meanin' either Spawn or Wayne). And wit' Panman pledging 'ed be back to vote, I fell safe in doin' this. I dun no if Aiwendil will be back, but Panman sed 'e wuld an' if not that only makes 'im look bad in me 'onest eyes.

I still see relly not a stron' resson to believe Wayne's a wulf. 'e may be the Cobbler, which wuld be a good victry fur us villagers on day one. But, still we'd like furst to see if we can catch a wolf.

So, this leaves Spawn, who I think of the three I've mentioned is the most likely to be a wolf. (Though I aint sayin' she is, I'm goin' wit' my own gut feelin'. That's all a simple villagers got wit' 'im, is 'is gut). An' I s'pose since Spawn is 'aving technical difficulties, and knowin' she aint gonna be 'ere I fin' it 'ard to vote for sumone 'ho I knew wusnt gonna be 'ere. But, I guess if I thinks shes a wulf, than I shuld vote fur her...right?

Or, I culd vote for anuthuh person to bring d'em to two votes and see what Panman and Aiwendil know wut to do? Jus' for Panman and Aiwendil, unless sumthin dramatically changes I'll prolly vote for Spawn, or sumone else wit' one vote.

I always 'ate votin' late, cus you make a wrong choice, an' peeple start lookin' at ya. But I's a stuck wit' da rest of yall, an' I only got my gut to go off of.

[Boromir88]

Well, I know Aiwendil's 'ere now. An' wit' us 'ere, and my belly gettin' 'ungry (I got stuff'd crabs planned fur tonight). I dun wanna big mix up at the an' with all of us bein' 'ere to vote. So, I shall vote now, an' leaf it up to you ones.
