But wait...

If Morsul dreamed Lottie, then wouldn't that make Manwe Elendil?

(Elendil can't dream or be a dream target, obviously.)

As far as my theory on who Elendil is, you'll find it here- declaring it specifically around the 1:54 mark. (One of my favorite songs from Camelot. )

(edit: adjust video)

phantom, I did figure it was probably you yesterDay, and that you bluffed dreaming of me (and Boro was the dreamer). But where I got stuck is on how could Shasta dream of you. But now that you've explained it...

Though if no one actually did dream of you, that means technically you were never a known innocent, heh.

I'd still like to see Manwe's reaction before taking further action. Regardless of the situation, it's never fun to lynch someone so early in the Day before they even have the chance to defend themselves.

Yeah, that was the weird part when I actually stopped to think about it.

As far as proving I'm Elendil, I decided I'd use the line "7 ships, 7 stars, and 1 white tree" as the key, seeing as it was appropriate for Elendil.

My third post doesn't fit the pattern- I was very tired and posted it without thinking, but I remembered to follow the pattern in my other posts. The pattern? 7-7-1

7th letter of 1st post = E
7th letter of 2nd post = L
1st letter of 4th post = E
7th letter of 5th post = N
7th letter of 6th post = D
1st letter of 7th post = I
7th letter of 8th post = L

I figured that ought to be proof enough if I had to reveal at some point, though once I became a "known" innocent it really wasn't necessary.

Quite right. I won't cast my vote until tomorrow evening.

But I will be going to bed earlier than usual. I'm short on sleep and really need decent rest tonight.

Good night.

I'm having flashbacks of SaucePanMan's cryptic Clues... It's SOOO obvious now.

Although it explains a post you did a while back with certain letters(I think it was about Boro) only post you made that had scratching my head saying "I can pick random letters too and say it means something"

Gah, i'd wager the old man was wishing he'd listened to his selfish side all night now. Still, if he dies I suppose he's spared Elendil's interminable gloating.

Sorry, Moddess. I would've made a lot of posts today with insane theories on how each of us could conceivably be the final KM, but this 20 minutes is my only freedom until I get home after tonight. (8:45ish)
