On Eomer:

#98. Thinks it's dangerous to metagame too much, and that there are probably some active baddies. Votes Rikae.

#233. Evidences puzzlement at the number of kills. Thinks it might be wise to pick someone who wasn't involved with Lalaith and killing them. Defends his vote for Rikae as "stirring the pot".

#266. Concerned with the paranoia of the village. Extolls the virtue of basing speculation on fact. Thinks Kitanna is suspicious for being the nth person to think that Legate was killed because it was thought that he was a lover.

#290. Doesn't see any point in analyzing the deaths. Goes heavily into metagame.

#297. Lists reactions to the deaths of Legate and Lalaith. Really goes after Kitanna because of her reaction.

#302. More attacking Kitanna.

#303. N/A.

#305. Actually votes Kitanna.

#390. Defends quiet players. Doesn't think Mac's suspicions are enough to bother defending against.

#400. Goes a little overboard on wondering why Nogrod was attacked. Apparently, Eomer thinks Nogrod is dead, or at least that's the tone of this post. Tries to build suspicion on Mac because of one of Nogrod's post, and Mac and Greenie for having not been voted.

#405. Thinks the bandwagon on Gollum is dangerous. Still trying to get Mac or Greenie lynched.

#408. Says the Kitanna-kill was sensible. Thinks the attack on Nogrod wasn't a bluff? I don't understand what he's saying here, but it's the first part I'm most concerned with.

#411. Thinks a vote for Mac would be considered spite. Votes Greenie. Still thinks feelings are overrated.

#491. Thinks it was obvious that Mac was in trouble, given Rikae's hints and Nogrod's willingness to vote him. Can't figure out what Rikae meant. Thought Rikae really looked suspicious, so find the bandwagon on her unsuspicious.

#496. Thinks that Rikae's insistence that Agan was innocent is confusing. Throws out a theory that Rikae was the Seer's lover... then turns around and shoots it down himself.

#513. Playerlist. Ponders starting to lynch females, because he's suspicious of Greenie and Brinniel for reasons he can't articulate. Ponders same-sex couples.

#514. N/A.

#522. Thinks the same as Nogrod does about Brinniel; that she's suspicious. However, is very wary of Nogrod and Aganzir; doesn't want to let them off just because they were saved by the Ranger.

#524. Explains to Nogrod his reaction to Rikae's vote for Gollum and why he thought it was going to become a bandwagon.

#527. Votes Gwath as a throwaway vote. No real explanation.

------------------------------------------------------------

The underlined posts are the ones that give me the most bad feeling. I really think I see some kind of Eomer/Brinniel connection, I don't like the way Eomer was so gung-ho about lynching Kitanna and then became extremely defensive/matter-of-fact about her death and subsequent clearance, and I don't like how he was trying to pour suspicion on Mac earlier. His suspicion of Greenie does nothing to clear him since it's clear they weren't teammates.

I'll post more tomorrow, but it's time for bed for me. Good night!

Sally's innocent.

Also, I lied about dreaming about Rikae because I wanted to keep Eomer alive. He's the Guardian.

Really, Brinn? I know you feel the need to play the token skeptic, but the more you doubt me the more I believe you are a danger to the village. I can't condemn you because I haven't dreamed of you, not wishing to flirt with death more than necessary. But that doesn't mean I can't list you as my top suspect for the Day.

Or rather, the more I doubt you the more you believe I'm a danger to you. Because the more you post, the more confident I am that you're evil.

Really, I think we all know how deceptful Fea can be, but I give her props for trying. But there is no reason why anyone should trust her (well, except perhaps the lovers if she isn't one herself ).

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night depending on where you may be, fellow players. I am finally here. Now to make this post something of note...

Not sure:

Shasta
Gwath
Groin
Sally


Really not sure:

Nogrod
Fea
Eomer
Brinn.

In short, I don't know what to say about just about anybody.

Guardian is a fancy name for Ranger. You know, like 'guards people.'

Yes, I must tell the world- if people don't heed my warning, I'm likely to die any time. Since I'm already revealed as Seer, there's no sense in keeping my dreams to myself any more.

Of course the ranger is your friend. We're on the same side, after all.

Revealing the role defeats its whole purpose. Which is why I think she's lying. Anyway, I doubt there's even a hunter...with two lovers dying in one blow, I don't think Di would see it necessary to put that role in. And along with role that Fea claims to have? If Di wanted a slaughterhouse, she would've put more lovers in the game.

Eomer's reaction to all this may help tell us whether he's a baddie or not (key word: baddie...not necessarily lover).

If you really have no clue, I recommend reviewing posts from previous Days in more depth. You've been pretty vague so far and it'd be more helpful for us to hear some stronger opinions than "I don't know."

EDIT: X-ed with Fea...okay, apparently I was wrong. But I swear in Volo's game the Guardian was the hunter.

Btw, you probably shouldn't have answered that.

Now I really look forward to hearing Eomer's reaction.

Also, I can see that Groin is online this very minute...he forgot to turn invisible. What does that tell us? My guess is that he basically quit the game as an ordo without getting modfired...but if he does turn out to be lover and is not participating on purpose, I'm going to be very bitter. But I think he's a better sport than that, and I hope I'm right.

If you insist I'll check back up once more, but half the roles in the village, er, hotel, depend on whether Fea is really the seer.
