The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
White-Hand

Nogrod, if I didn't know better, I'd be convinced that you are a Faithful trying to twist my words. Which just goes to show (for me, anyway) how easy it is to view malign intent behind innocent, but misguided, words. You seem to have made up your mind that I am a Faithful and are now looking for anything in what I say which might support that theory. Unfortunately, your theory is wrong.

You quoted only TGWBS, yet I was responding to both you and TGWBS. To be honest, I get really fed up when suspicion starts building on me later in the game just because I am still alive. I suspect that the Faithfuls are well aware that some people think like this and it probably goes some way to explaining just why I am still alive, particularly given the suspicion that I have been under in previous Days.

You yourself pointed out the likely reason for Rune's death. I can well understand why they would kill an innocent looking Rune (after that comment) than an SpM under serious suspicion. And I think that you do others a disfavour by thinking that I would be the obvious choice for the Faithfuls when they have a free choice of who to kill.

I was actually agreeing with you that Rune's last minute comment most likely explains his death. But that does not mean that we should not consider other possibilities.

Nogrod, I do not expect to be free from examination. But please try to bring some objectivity to bear. You are to valuable to us toDay not to do so.

I need to get down to looking at those Day 3 votes but unfortunately, it is going to have to wait until after lunch. I hope to have a lot more time to do some analysis this afternoon.

the guy who be short has just left Hobbiton.
Legate

10 posts from him. Day 2 onwards:

Post 194 - Devotes a little time to Roa-Rikae debate, defends himself against Rune, defends Lommy and Hookbill.

Post 269 - Says he has no particular suspects.

Post 275 - Votes Roa.

Post 288 - Asks Rikae who she thinks we should vote for before she dies (that night). I don't know why. She already told us what she thought.

Post 342 - Thinks I advocated a shortlist. Suspects Mith for wanting to not lynch Roa.

Post 407 - Suspects Brinniel, Kitanna, Thinlomien. Mildly suspects Durelin, Mithalwen. Neutral about Gil-Galad, Kath, Lalaith, Manwe, SpM. Neutral about me, though I am narrow-viewed, apparently. Thinks Hookbill, Rune innocent.


I'm uneasy about Legate. Unlike some quiet posters, who we notice for being quiet - Kitanna, Gil - he says just enough to not attract attention for quietness. Like the others, he seems to fly under the radar a little, but more effectively. My mind also goes back to his Brinniel-Hookbill intervention. However, he offers quite a few opinions, which I see as innocent. Hookbill and Gil, meanwhile, are notable for their lack of input, meaning we have nothing to trace them back on.
