WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[Inziladun]

All right. I'm having to do most of my thinking now, as I seriously doubt I'll have time to do anything more than vote tomorrow.
I do not see anyone who I am absolutely certain is a baddie.
Due to his recent posts, my misgivings about Boro are pretty much gone. He sounded heartfelt and genuine, and I'm fairly convinced he's at least not a wolf.
However, phantom bears close watching.
Kath has been calmly dropping in from time to time, offering a few perfectly legitimate observations, than quietly disappearing. She has set her vote for Eomer, who I haven't gotten much from, and offered no good reason for doing so.
Mithalwen has been fairly prominent at times, and it's easy to tell she's good at this. As others have stated, I too am concerned about the apparent obsession with Shasta.
As of now, I think my vote will be one of the latter two.

[Inziladun]

Then again, there was Eomer's comment about hanging back I mentioned earlier, and perhaps Kath was thinking of that. I've come to the conclusion that it might not mean anything by itself, but I just don't know what she was keying on with him....

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I need to go to bed.
So I need to vote.

Either that or get up long enough before 9am to catch up on reading and vote.

Actually, I like that plan, since there's nobody I particularly suspect right now.

I mean, I don't trust Boro's plea for understanding any more than I ever trust anything he says, but it's not really distrust so much as cautious concern.

I'm still giving New Guy 1 (Zil) and New Guy 2 (other guy; no, just kidding, I really do know your name...) the benefit of the doubt because they're new.

My gut says to lynch people I regularly interact with early, that way I don't have to try to psychoanalyze them later when it's more important that we get things right. It always saddens me to think I've got somebody's character nailed and then find out they've been murdering my team mates in my sleep.

Anyway...

Nap time for little sleepy Feas.

[Nerwen]

Back. Reading. See you soon.

[satansaloser2005]

Just saying now that if I get killed toDay or toNight after I drove 20 miles to get on the internet I might just have to slap someone. With a herring. Just letting you all know in advance.

[/crankiness]

Now, to business....

I really don't think Boro's guilty, just frustrated. So killing him seems, at least to me, a bad plan. Certainly not the most lovely idea I've ever heard.

Eomer, Agan, and maybe Mith are still giving me bad vibes. Alas, I can't talk too long because the laptop battery's not going to last forever, but let's just say the tone of his posts seems rather wolf-ish to me. If I die for not having time to explain, so be it, but I will vote how I feel, and that is....

++Eomer


If I am wrong and by some weird thing he's the Fairy Godmummy or something I suppose you can sacrifice me to save him, but I don't think that's the case. Besides....I want to live!

Anyway, I have to go, and I'll be on for a bit yet just to read through again. Once I leave I will most certainly not be back, which is why I made the above statement.


Someday my internet will come....

[satansaloser2005]

Okay, so a quick list. Not all-inclusive, and not definitive, but have it anyway.


Not Good:
Eomer
Agan
Wilwa


Not Bad:
Shasta
Boro
Nerwen
the girls what run off to England


Not Sure:
Phantom
Mith
the boys what are new

At the risk of sounding equally monomanic... Shasta.... either lying or 1/3 chance of being LRC. If LRC I'd bet the ranch he has been turned.

Love to hear what he has to say...

Hang on, Mith... let your friendly neighbourhood bookmaker work out the odds... Nope, it's still only a 1-in-5 chance. And there's a 2-in-5 chance Red Cap's already dead.

I checked:

Little Red is not aware of her identity until it is too late, if she dies before she is turned I will not reveal her identity, I won’t even tell Mr. BBW, mwahaha.

So, she could have been Lommy or Nienna... we've got no way of telling.

On the other hand, as Agan points out, there's no reason to think Shasta (if LRC) wasn't turned last Night– again, we wouldn't know.

Important– regarding toDay's favourites:

Eomer and Boro both seemed to think LRC was a normal Cursed role, i.e. has to be Night-killed in order to be turned. I should say this points to their innocence– or at least to their non-lupinity. They could be faking, of course... but do consider this point before voting either of them.

So that did not go nearly as well as I had hoped, mostly due to a severe lack of posts on sally's part. This is what I did find, however:

Then in 278 she lists him as "Not Bad."

That was probably one of the most pathetic cases I have ever made. And we all know how pathetic some of my cases have been.

I'm off to check my laundry and then I'll be back to make a case against...someone.

EDIT: And yes, phantom did check before he made the comment. Just in case you didn't trust him for some reason.

I don't know why but this comment bothers me. If you suspect her, point out why instead of just saying you have some vague misgivings about her. At the moment it looks like you're just testing the ice to see if anyone else could start suspecting Kath, and when not, you back off immediately.

Well, I thought I gave a reason why here:

Her rationale for voting for Eomer just didn't ring true to me, and it bothered me how early in the Day she had voted. In fact , I don't recall her showing up again that Day. That, coupled with her unobtrusivness made me suspicious. The background lurkers seem to make people uneasy, and I can now see why.
And if I appeared to be "backing down" on that, I am not. Until I see something to allay my fears I'll continue to keep her in mind.
Mith was my other choice. I was pressed for time and had to make a quick decision. I was wavering until the last minute, but chose Kath based primarily on the fact that Mith was there and obviously not trying to hide in the shadows.
