I don't have time to analyse Aiwendil, sorry. I started, but found little info either way.

Vote wisely, and, most likely, farewell until the morrow.

You're naught but ninnyhammers, the lot of you!

Seriously, I don't hold with all this lynchermongery that's going on around here... I see nary a sane plan in sight, and certainly none that wears well enough to attract my agreement. Clearly, though, we're going to need some rope...

I suggest you all go back to cabbages and potatoes. Don't get mixed up in the business of your betters, or you'll land in trouble too big for you.

No, I can't give no insight. Haven't thought so far, myself; you're all queer folk, though. No, I can't rouse the energy and do it. Good night!

++ The Saucepan Man, for trying to take control.

All's well that ends better.

Formendacil is appearing strangely cobbleresque. Doesn't make him a wolf but it does make him somebody we ought to eliminate if we don't know who else to vote for.

Now while I still suspect Cailin she did bring up some good points in her analysis of TGWBS but then TGWBS brought up decent points about Naria. So I guess what I'm saying is that while I'm confused it's likely that a wolf is in this small group of three.

Cailín has just left Hobbiton.
Nilp -> malkatoj
malkatoj -> Kath
Valier -> Garin
mormegil -> Cailín
Sauce -> Shelob
TGWBS -> Naria
Spawn -> Shelob
Formendacil -> Saucepan Man

Well, Formendacil is acting strange.

++GARIN

He remains my main suspect of the Day. For reasons, see my analysis on him. It's here somewhere.

Wow! Internet time! Look at that!

I don't know how long I can stay here - maximum of 40 minutes, minimum of 0. However, in that time, morm:

I'm curious what you inferred from Cailin's points, when she said they spoke in my innocence.

Lastly, I will reiterate. It is too late today, but tomorrow, perhaps, we can implement this.

People should voice suspicions during the first part of the day. Then, groups of four people should be set to analyse each one of these suspects so that we get an expansive view from many eyes, and minimise wolvish influence in presenting facts. I advise sorting people into groups alphabetically, there are too many factors that could go wrong if people choose their own groups...

Finally, we have a lot of loud people in the spotlight. It is unwise to let the loud dominate the scene and be picked off one by one, leaving no analytic minds left. Tomorrow, we must consider at least one of those who are "slipping under the radar" or simply not posting.

Well, I either talk to much or too little it is less a strategy than a return to work ethic. My boss mentioned 'the downs' specifically by name after the last game so I am devoting less time to this dangerous little addiction. I honestly have no idea who to vote for and no one has really swayed me. I might still stick to Valier, some good points have been mad about Shelob, Cailin seems a little mean for an innocent villager, and Form's recent snit seemed quite odd.

Well, I’m back.

So much has gone on toDAy already, I feel overwhelmed just trying to work out where to begin! But, we have votes, so I’ll look at who has been voted for, try to work out why, and see if I too think they look suspicious.

Malkatoj - voted for by a now sane seeming Nilp – though his vote was no more than a decision between 3, and the possibility that they were trying to cause ties or make ‘safe’ votes. There seems no real evidence of anything here. Malka defended her vote for Wayne reasonably, and looked both at those who were involved in the Crombie bandwagon and Shelob alone (though I’m not sure why she was singled out so). But then came that odd vote for Aiwendil! If anything were to make me suspect her it would be that, rather than her later vote for me.

Kath - by malka, perhaps in all seriousness, though perhaps just trying to make up for her previous mistake. If it is because I was involved in the Crombie bandwagon then fair enough.

Garin - by Valier for his ‘posting pattern’, and being unsure whether he is a wolf or not. Cailin due to his sucking up to the loudmouths and clever ones, and for his odd voting yesterday.

Cailín - by morm due to her pushing him to mention spawn when he does not find her suspicious, and also because she seems ‘wise and cunning beyond her years’ – perhaps she is just a precocious young ‘un

Shelob - by spawn due to her knowledge of why Aiwendil was killed in the Night, and because she defended the trio thought up yesterday. Sauce suspects her due to strangely little analysis and a ‘safe’ vote, feels she is saying lots but revealing little.

Naria - by TGWBS due to her ‘idiotic’ vote for Nilp, whom he considers innocent, and also to widen the voting field.

SpM - by Form for trying to take control. Now that’s a fair point right enough and one that I happen to agree with, but I’m not sure Sauce can do anything but! I don’t, however, think him suspicious. I dislike the taking charge, but I see nothing wolvish in it.

Now, my time here is up and I do have to go. Looking at this I would say the person who has voted with the least reason is Valier, and because of that:

++VALIER
