WWJ XII: "Oh the tangled web we weave..."

[Nogrod]

... and to be continued.

Kitanna: I find her most reasonable indeed. Her points on #40 on Rikae and other stuff seem well balanced and well made. A good Thing would like to act in that way, but there seems to be an air of straight-forwardness in Kitanna's posting. I'm not going after her toDay by any means.

Rune: Now this is another puzzle to solve...

In his first post (#17) he staunchly defends Rikae and suspects Mac somewhat. Then he goes to that "I'm the weawer" -stuff... What to think of it? A bad joke or a very fishy Thing?

In #38 he says:

I think I will direct my attention to Jenny, Volo, Mac and Lommy today.

but after that he does nothing in line with this promise. His last posts after that one are one that discusses the overall strategy and the second one just states that he will be away!

A Thing might do that: looking helpful and considered but then somehow failing to do anything... I know it's early on the Day and he will be one or two hours behind me in the time zones and thence it is possible he will make his words come true, but by now, it doesn't look releasing on him...

This one sounds strangely familiar, doesn't it? A similar statement made my innocent grandfather lynch your guilty grandfather.

Shiver me timbers!

Wrong scenario, matey. Me bloodthirsty and quite hairy grandfather claimed that "If one is innocent, then the other must be guilty," I be doing no such things. I suspect both you and Lommy the same; you may even be co-conspirators, though I doubt I could be right on both counts. Also, I posted reasons for suspecting both of ye, not simply that one of ye suspects the other. Ye both look suspicious; that be all I was tryin' to say.

I too am finding my suspicions leaning quite sturdily Nogrod-ward. What do you mean, I'm suspect because I was right about the rules?


I have one major problem with the idea that Nogrod might be a Thing: His ancestors are usually canny wolves.

As for Rune, he said quite clearly he would be back, and is often in the village at times much closer to the deadline. I hardly see being away a reason to lynch someone.

Why did Noggie feel it so necessary to tell Volo he could change his vote, anyway?

I think it was because he thought Mac was an innocent and wanted Volo to change his mind and try voting for a guilty thing. . .I don't think he suspected that change of mind.

Well I was not saying exactly that. I don't think it is a general excuse but at least to me it was news that the Ranger would not diminish the number of the Things. As you sounded confident enough, I thought that you knew it better - and the thingies would surely have secured that information in time while we others would have paid no attention to it. At least I didn't, and I admit, that is my fault. And as I said, I would like to check that from the TIGJ-thread before I go with any final verdicts. I haven't have time to do that yet. I would like to end this query on everybody before I do that.

But why do you jump so readily to defend yourself (well, I might be seen as doing exactly the same thing here?). I said it most clearly that you top my suspicions so far, when the most dubious ones I have not have yet time to see to... I'm doing this, one by one now. Sorry, but it really takes time.

See what I said about him:

So no proposal of lynching him there. I indeed think we have many better candidates - including you on the basis of your last posts - to pick from. Sorry Jenny. I had thought of letting you go far down on my list of suspicion, but these last posts have changed the situation somewhat. Your immediate jump alongside Volo looks strange indeed. Like a Thiong had been waiting for a suitable occasion...

And really:

Why did Noggie feel it so necessary to tell Volo he could change his vote, anyway?

Be Volo a friend or a fiend he should enjoy the right understanding of the rules. He was complaining about his vote and I told him he could vote again as we have one retractable. That was no necessity. But what happened after that will speak it's language to me at least, making you and in some way also Volo climb higher on my suspicion-list... Why should a Thing encourage another (or an innocent) to reconsider his vote if the thing was clear with the vote himself on Day1?

But still, I have the hardest trio to look for and am not sure whether my suspicions so far are good enough to beat the ones that are coming. We'll see about it.
