Well, I must be off- I've arrows to fletch. (see admin thread)

I have been keeping summarizing and analyzing every post except my own thus far, and I do have some leads, but I'm going to give them a few more hours, to either redeem themselves, or to further incriminate themselves, and I don't want to tip them off.

My suspicion list thus far:

Trusts: Me

Distrusts: Everyone else

Well, I must say that I don't actually remember Nogrod's version of the hunter. I may have to find one of the lorebooks on suggested werewolf hunting methods.

But not just now. Even an Innkeeper must rest now and then. I'll return in a few hours.

I shall join the rest and be idle for some hours, but only to return later.

For now I shall write Mormegil's vote for me off as a meer ploy to get the suspicions/votes flying, which could be for better or worse one never knows.

With the retractable vote he could always turn up and change his vote, but now I am just pointing out the obviouse. . . .better leave then.

Lot's of talking, I'd say this is good for us...all the more chance for wolves to get caught. I detest quiet villages. So Morm why are you trying to stop the talk?

True, but actually most of my Day 1 stuff is based upon feeling. If someone sounds reasonable I don't have a real reason to vote for them on Day 1. I try to eliminate as many possiblities on Day 1 as possible; and I'm not going to vote for someone who I find particularly helpful on Day 1.


About the hunter, if we happen to have a good hunter, that is a a decent judge and can get a bit luck he/she can be a great asset to the village. With that being said, the hunter can also greatly hurt the village if their choice is wrong. It's a risk I'm willing to take, I'd take hunter over no-hunter anyday.

Oh and another good thing about the hunter, if the wolves have a good clue who the hunter is, yet think the hunter is on to one of them, they will actually refrain from killing the hunter to save their own skin.

sorry to bring my dear boromir88 to the front... but he was the first one too launch the allegations onto celuien... that could be a devious ploy, for if the wolf starts it off, then there is a chance more will fly and totally ignore the first one of boromir, sorry put i must throw this lovely pie of lynching in your face, ta ta

Gil-Galad is, I suppose, right to see Boro's attack on Celuien as perhaps the central oddity this day has so far produced.

It's plain weird. Who makes so much of in-character bonhomie? Not usually a wolf, I must say; I'm inclined to think both innkeeper and jester looking fairly innocent. If they were both wolves, I think they'd be too subtle to emphasise conflict at such an early stage.

This is going to be a game of real detective work, with Night and Day filled with tortuous deduction, but I think the three Rangers may well earn their swords - I've seen great things accomplished by a single Ranger before.

I agree that we should not dwell particularly on the results of the gallup. They're intriguing and flattering, but not that useful...

Agreed ... any ideas on where one might go to find out about that? Or is it time for trawling through lorebooks?

So we're supposed not to rely on past suspicions. Very well. Boro, Eomer and morm are all innocent! That probably goes for Lommy, Volo and Roa too. And Rune and Gil. 'Course since I've listed half the village there at least one is bound to be innocent.

Does anyone have ideas on what exact use the questionnaire has? I know NoggieMod said he'd used it less than he first thought but I assume the people he pointed out in the narration had the most 'votes' within the questionnaires and he did say the narration held clues.

I have to go create some beautiful cloths (aka go to class), back before too long.

I do have to vote early today, but after this I should be voting closer to the deadline.

The two main people to have really caught my eye Gil-Galad are Boromir.

Gil-Galad - His whole first post is basically centered around the idea that he's saying something that people might find suspicious. He seems very preoccupied with that idea.

Boromir - I think he was too soon to assert the innocence/guilt of some people. It seems almost set up.

I'd like to go look a little more, but I really have to go.

Mostly to try to stir up the quiet part of the village, and because I really don't like the idea of voting for anyone in the current field of vote receivers.

I'll try to return near the deadline for reevaluation, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to.
