Tol-in-Gaurhoth XLIX - At the Source of Darkness

[the phantom]

Nog- if you are innocent then listen carefully.

Lalaith would not look like the Seer to a Phantom-Wolf.

If she had died and been found to be the Seer, it would've been a stretch for anyone to take her posts and apply them to me as a WW. Her vote for me has an extremely pronounced air of "don't take this to mean he's a WW". Read her posts again please. If she would have died and been the Seer that is the way most logical people would have interpreted her words.

But you claim she said what she did to avoid detection? That makes no logical sense. If her aim was truly to buy herself another dream then she never would have voted for a discovered WW in the first place. Her goal would have been either to leave a clue or not leave a clue. If she was indeed the Seer discovering a Phantom-Wolf, then she failed miserably at both.

I've been in villages with her before. She's much smarter than that, and I know it. And I think you do too. You really seem to be grasping at straws, and I can't figure why.

I have a guess of course, but I'd rather not mention it.

[the phantom]

Okay, so I guess that everyone is just wanting to leave Form-Cobbler to the Assassin tonight since there have been no votes for him?

[Mithalwen]

Phantom darling, want to keep you around so will do what I have to do..

[the phantom]

You are really a dear, Mith.

I should write a Downer Article just for you. I already made another headline for you, but I think you deserve more.

And I still think that the Kitanna idea was brilliant. Not necessarily doing it (I could've gone either way on that), but just even bringing it up. If it weren't for the fact that so much has happened today I think we'd be focusing quite a bit on reactions to that. Only the greats can do something useful on Day 1.

Why Mr Phantom, how charming... If you do I shall read it ....

Yes.. but left to my own devices I would still suspect Lommy for her double think .. otherwise...

[Nogrod]

I just came back from town (too much packing crowds there...) and thought to start actually thinking about the culprits before the girls come when I found this.

Now sorry if I don't follow this. Or is this something like one of your famous "traps" you're known you like to set? Well it backfired I suppose if it was one for I'm no cobbler or wolf who would like to share secret alliances. I'm after the baddies. And I'm no gifted either you should not dare to mention aloud if you're an innocent.

That might be a good idea as he doesn't seem wolvish but mainly cobblerish. And that would narrow down our choices toDay. Well, if the cobbler-assassin is wishing or willing to do that. I mean s/he might have other thoughts - maybe looking at you tp or me, or anyone.

But to be frank, yes, I'd suggest s/he takes Form the next Night.

[Nogrod]

Girls came in. Their turn. Sorry.

Can't agree with this, Mith. I don't think that one's ability to entertain should preclude their being voted if suspicious.

...Though I seem to be in the minority on this issue.

Edit: X'd with Nogrod's second and Mith.

You misunderstand .. I am not anti voting for them _ I just save them for later when I have had the full measure of enjoyment. Anguirel would tell you of a certain game where, though it broke my heart ... I lynched him to win the game.... . However I dont' find him suspicious enoug to vote for by a long chalk. I'd much rather lynch one of the people who have called me stupid....

[the phantom]

Surprise surprise.

Oh, go and plant some sunflowers or something.

Go practice death-defying, Indy.

[the phantom]

That's the spirit, Shasta!

[Brinniel]

Before everyone goes in and votes Shasta, can I just say the way he's been popping out of nowhere to vote reminds me of an innocent Elf-Warrior. And these one-liners he's been making don't sound wolfish to me...cobblerish maybe, but I don't think he's a wolf.

[Thinlómien]

I haven't got the time to comment on everything I'd like to (I'll do that toMorrow if I'm still alive) and me, Greenie and Nog we're all sharing a computer and none of us has voted, so...

I could vote Shasta, Form or Nog, or even maybe Fea. (She's been acting weirdly.) I've started having second thoughts about Durelin. She might not be a cobbler after all. And of course I could vote Nerwen just for that dreadful suggestion...

I can't follow Nilp's logic.

The Nogrod-phantom row looks interesting... makes me think they're not both innocent. And even though I suspect Nog a bit more than tp, this row actually makes me a little hesitant of lynching him. I'd rather see how this develops.

Just to sort this out, I really wasn't. Just annoyed.

But while I think lynching her was stupid, what I meant by you not being silly is that you're not throwing total joke ideas or loads of silly suggestions and suspicions around.

I'll be quickly back to vote but that's all you can expect of me toDay... gotta let Greenie and Noggie write...

Like Form?

Yep could go for Mr Grouchy but it won't help TP ... and the idea of slogging into town on a bank holiday monday if there is no Phantom to flirt with is just too depressing

Considering phantom has already expressed interest in voting Form, I'm sure you and he can come to some sort of... agreement.

[Mithalwen]

0r even Sunday

[the phantom]

Boy, people seem to be down on Gwath this game. Are they bitter about his Middle-Earth Soccer Tournament victory?

I don't think he's a WW though. Possible Cobbler.

Too bad it's not Form with two votes instead of Gwath. Not that I wouldn't vote for Gwath to save my skin.

It's not really a trap. Well, it kind of is, but not one of my invention. It's something that someone else did that I think might possibly be a brilliant ploy and I'm trying not to say anything to make it misfire, because I honestly believe it might work. But we won't know till tomorrow if it worked completely.

And no, I will not clarify. I will either tomorrow or after the game. And of course if I'm reading this whole thing wrong then I'll feel entirely stupid.

Okay, so you do indeed think we should leave Form for the Assassin? Well, then the question is who do we lynch today that gives us a good chance of catching a baddie?

And I take it you understand my point about Lalaith now?

[the phantom]

Well, since there's not much interest in lynching Form, I might be content to follow Fea and go for Shasta.

I just wish Fea was around.

[Eönwë]

Well, the thing is, since I stated my thoughts on Lal's post, the more I look at Gwath's posting the more I see wolf. And he's done nothing to alleviate my suspicion, so:
