Anyway, so be it.

Thanks for the alternative analysis, Celuien. I'm with you on most of it but I'd like to raise a couple of points.


Glirdan was wrong about this. What Caranlondien said was that the village shouldn't lynch the "true lumberjack" (i.e. herself); she set up Ang as something like a false one who would not be a good replacement for her.

Oops. Sorry for the error.

Support for Carnalondien stands, by the way.

By lynching all the men, we would be, well, getting rid of the men; wolf kills of men would be helping us to reach our goal. So IF we were going to implement this plan, we could do it without worrying about whether or not the wolves would compliantly kill only women--if they didn't, they'd be helping us.

Okay. I guess it would have made more sense for them to even out the ratio and not to aid the village in its quest.

For the record, I was against the plan because it takes attention away from the village women, among whom two beasts have now been found. I forget where I said that before.

And another point against Glirdan. Eomer suspected him and he was two for two on Kath and Lhuna. Could he have been three for three? Maybe.

At first glance from about post 523, TGWBS appears innocent to me, although I haven't reviewed anything from earlier yet. I'll try and come back with some more on him later.
