the guy who be short has just left Hobbiton.
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.

Well I never said it would help .. just that while he isn't giving much away he wouldn't deliberately mislead ...

Lommie's seems ot have completely escaped attention so far as has Shasta. Gil is being studiously ignored which might be folly.

Glad that there are few people around ... rather like old days ... but don't squabble. That is my job...

++Lommy

I've made my intentions well enough known and I'm sticking by them. I think it time that we get moving on the votes too.

Volo, dear, it's nice that you tell us about your ideas. But if you'd give grounds to them, that'd be even better. I mean, you can't get people to agree with you (and thus your words are "wasted") if you don't explain why do you think something (like the quote above) for example... So, care to elaborate? (Even though I don't know what does it help us if we know what Kath thought...)

Was that a confession?

Thanks to TGWBS's analysis, Sixth no longer slips under my radar and I think he actually is quite suspicious, if he really has been the way he was in TGWBS's analysis. My mixed feelings about Izzie have not changed in any way. I could go for either of them, since I support lynching the quiet ones.

As to my yesterday's main suspects - Kath, Legate and Mith - two are dead and the remaining feels less guilty. She feels sincere, but I still think her somewhat suspiciously non-committal. I would not, however, like to vote her today as I'm growing gradually less suspicious of her.

I'm growing wary of morm but I think that's probably just just normal for me and some sort of spine-reaction to his suspicions...

Gil's continuing existence keeps bugging me even though I agree killing him would be a waste of lynch most probably.

edit: xed with Mith, morm and Fea

Nice catch actually, and I wouldn't put it past her either. If you are, which would be a surprise to me, not guilty I would think that this may point to Fea. She bold and brazen enough to do that for a good laugh. But if you are guilty I still think Fea a possible suspect because of it. Either way thanks for pointing it out. It won't be the only piece of evidence I would require to vote for her but it's a start.

Yes, I know some of these things have already been mentioned in some part.. but these are my own thoughts.

Quote:
“Fools!” she said. “I am no witch. I am a Priestess! And I serve the true Lord of Middle-earth. His throne is far from here, but this land will fall to Him ’ere long. You puny woodsmen and your paltry villages are no match for the might of Mordor. I have seen in my dreams the wonder and the terror of what He has wrought here. And those among you who do not serve Him will yourselves share that knowledge all too soon - as red claws rend your flesh and black fangs close about your heads. Wolves, I have done what I can to aid you. My work here is done. May the Hounds of Udun be joined and flourish here in the name of Sauron the Great …!”
From the narrative.. it makes Kath out to be a bad person.. how you could see this as a statement made by an innocent is a bit beyond me. It does mention dreams where she has seen what He (Sauron I believe) has done here. I wonder if that is somehow related to some kind of information on the wolves/bear whichever. Isn't Udun a reference to someone other than Sauron. It mentions of a joining of the hounds of Udun.
I think going through Kath's posts would for the most part probably be a bit fruitless. She was a baddie (atleast that is how I interpreted the aiding the wolves bit ; ) she may have had some points which were true and spot on; but to me her posts seemed a bit wishy-washy, or atleast misleading.

Nogrod to me is a bit iffy. He is pretty vocal, but seems to take the middle road. He doesn't really seem all that suspicious, but he doesn't seem all that innocent either.

I agree about Volo and Thinlomien; they don't really contribute much (at least from what I have seen today); but are great gateways to distraction.

Feanor; just seems to summarize things.

Thinlomien; a post caught my eye.. she said that we shouldn't drop the idea of two wolf teams yet; but she didn't clarify why. She just left it open.

Shasta strikes me as a bit odd. I've played many other games with him; and he is usually very talkative. Why he is keeping so quiet now... puts a red flag up for me.

If the bandwagon against me yesterday was not serious; then why have it anyway? May I remind you that this is NOT a democracy; this is Werewolf. Some of you have commented on others who have not voted with the 'majority' yet here you are diverting the path; making last minute votes in a blatant attempt to save Kath. Where are all of the whistles going off now eh? If I didn't know better; I'd say you were all in cahoots with Kath! :P

In my own defense, I didn't try to play my vote on Xyzzy down; it was the simple truth.

I'll post more later; but my stomach is growling.. it is 1148am here right now, and I've already told my nephew twice to just hold on a minute before I fix his lunch.

Edit; punctuation error.

Oh blimey - there are a lot of scattered votes suddenly - what four with one each?

This is getting a bit random considering our reducing numbers contain a lot of low attenders.

I don't like Gil reverting to type like this after being relatively more engaged -
- he could be an ordo but if he isn't he could be lethal

Given his capacity for causing uncertainty, I would be suprised if he is killed at night - it would be too much of a favour to the village. So if we don't, we have to hope he is innocent and we don't need a well informed votes from him in the last stages. However he is quite capable of making random votes on little information (in some villages he hasn't even registered who is alive). Lynching him removes one piece of uncertainty but it is a risk.

Isabellkya reminds me a lot of Gil in behaviour. Has attracted the attention, been given the benefit of the doubt at first and then attracted a fair number of votes.

Is there any significance in Rikaes certainty about Boro? He has rung true to me along the line and Rikae wasn't gifted. But there was something odd he said in thath spat . I'll be back...
