the guy who be short has just left Hobbiton.

DAY 1:
Post 6 - In character banter.
Post 16 - Disagrees with xyzzy suspicion. Also says lynching the quiet is a good thing... it really amuses me when the quiet say this.
Post 27 - Says Isabellkya may not know what a cobbler is, defending her.
Post 33 - Asks durelin if she knows her vote isfinal and can't be retracted now.
Post 98 - Mentions durelin, aganzir and Noggy as suspects, but votes xyzzy! Even though she disagreed with suspicion of xyzzy in post 16. And no reason for the change of heart. Another opportunist who goes with the flow!
Post 101 - Doesn't understand Noggy's point about following a declared logic.
DAY 2:
Post 136 - Post count.
DAY 3:
Post 277 - Talks without saying anything. Kath was cobbler, Legate dying bad.
Post 279 - Laughs at Boro for saying he'll be back later when Boro was suspicious of Lommy for that.


Hmm. Once again we have quite a few posts, but saying very little. The switch of opinions on xyzzy is weird and needs to be explained. Avoids mentioning who he finds innocent and doesn't really mention who he finds guilty - in the one post where he named who he could vote for, he admitted Noggy and Aganzir were only on there for suspecting him.

I think we have a potential wolf here.

So, the three I've looked at so far, excluding morm, all feel wolvish to me. And I'll be frank: Feanor is only on the list as a formality. I don't at this moment think she's suspicious, and I don't think I will after analysing her. Which I do not think I have time to do today. Therefore, without further ado:

Hmm, looks like I have another few minutes after all.

Just noticed this:

I think that was the contributing factor to Rune's death, but that is a personal belief. Regardless, I agree with Rune's logic - kill the quiet early on to prevent disaster later on.

Feanor i Peredhillion

DAY 1:
Post 58 - Registering her presence.
Post 64 - Lynch the quiet! Or anyone you cant get a picture of. Lots of responses to things people have said. Says that morm/Noggy/Kath/Boro are sneaky people in general (not necessarily guilty).
Post 65 - Posts a list of every villager divided into guilty, not, or neutral. She gets Legate, Kath & Rune right - all innocents. Suspects morm and mith, but only due to history. Votes xyzzy as she had nobody better to vote for.
DAY 2:
Post 160 - Replies to various things. Says we should scan the narrative for cues, not presume SpM will be a nice mod, logic is never logical.
Post 164 - Role talk. Thinks Mith innocent. Thinks we should let Noggy live.
Post 247 - Votes Izzy.
DAY 3:
Post 266 - Confused about roles, explains quietness.
Post 294 - Registers presence.
Post 296 - Mith, Boro innocent. Nogrod is "another story."

She also keeps calling people things like darling or honey, and claims she is cute. Not really relevant, just interesting.

She seems alright to me. She has an innocent air, her voting record doesn't seem too bad, she talks about who she finds guilty and who not. I'd like a bit more reasoning behind it, but this is Fea we're talking about.


I feel good about:
Boro, Fea

I feel quite good about:
Morm, Noggy

I feel quite bad about:
Shasta

I feel very bad about:
Isabellkya, Sixth

Everybody else, don't know.

I'm here now - for a while.

I don't thinkSauce would have used poetic licence - he seemed quite piqued about my criticism of his grammar so I am sure he is writing hte narrations with a lot of care and he did promise hints. Need to have a proper look now I am away from work.

True or not if one has played cryptic clues with Saucie you will know that he is well above me in intellect and could add clever clues that nobody would pick up on until they are explained. I think we loose sight of the most important aspect of the game and go on a wild goose chase when we look for the cryptic clues in narrations or discuss ad naseum which roles exist.

So we should get lynch-happy without taking into account the fact that we really don't know what we're even looking for?

No silly girl! We know that there are evils out there that are killing us and we should continue to search for them not if they are 2 group of 3 each or 2 groups of 2 each or 20 groups and each of us are wolves. Find those that are guilty and pluck them out. We did it yesterday with Kath and that aids our cause and we can do it today too. I fear I lack the required time to sift through Lommy's 16 posts but she posted a lot this day and I read those in detail Right now she is my top suspect. Noggie feels a bit off too but I'm not proceeding on him yet. TGWBS is always guilty feeling to me and since it remains true this time I think him innocent.
