Tol-in-Gaurhoth CXIV – The Evil Breath of Morgoth in Dor-lómin, game thread

[Nogrod]

You sure are going for the last hour vote.

An official tally, by courtesy of your Mod, an hour before the Deadline.

Day1 - votes

Lhuna -> Lhuna
Rikae -> Brinniel
G55 -> Rikae

[Urwen]

++ G55

Because I am Morleg and I am spiteful.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Of those with votes, I won't vote for Rikae, could vote for Brinn or Pitch, and probably won't be voting for G55 unless it's to save someone I think is innocent.

It occurs to me that by hijacking Greenie's post I failed to give a read on Greenie herself - there were things I liked (the Brinniel read) and things I didn't (the Rune/Kitanna discrepancy, which may be an overblown title but it sounds fancy so I'll probably keep using it; the reads on Ka/Eonwe/Inzil/etc) - she's not a direction I'm interested in going today, at least.

Right now, I want to vote for G55 or maybe Pitch. Most of my suspicion about Pitch is based on his soft defense/attack/defense (I think that's the right order) of G55, so I think lynching either one would help me better understand the other. I would be willing to vote for Brinn if it came down to her or someone I have a really good feeling about. I will not be voting for Rikae or Lhuna.

I am a bit torn here.

My original suspects/bad vibe folks were Kitanna and Eonwe, but I haven't really found anything to add to my original suspicions.

I must acknowledge that decent case can be made against Brinniel, though she did not at first register on my radar.

She mentions a group of vague suspect, but gives us nothing concrete. Thus giving her self room to maneuver. Initially she sticks to some of her suspects, again she doesn't give us too much to go on, and then she throws Kitanna into the mix.

On top of this she seemingly tried to downplay suspicions by simply not addressing them, something wolves have tried in the past.

Posts:#70 #158 #168.

I mean this definitely look like an infected trying to avoid scrutiny, backtracking when she fears her strategy is found out, and attempts to ignore the direct accusations hoping they will go away.

Despite all of this, I am not convinced that it isn't just innocent Brinniel who wants to be helpful, but is vague as she does not want to "fabricate" evidence and then gets swayed buy what she perceives as good arguments/unfortunate developments.

I have no clue about that one... probably because I've been absent from the Downs for awhile so I don't know everyone's in-jokes besides those I've known for years. Far as I can tell, that's a throw away vote?
A joke to be safe and without anything of substance to refer to I can't tell the m.o.


As much as I'd love more time to deliberate between my suspicions of those flocking to the G55-Rikae and L-P-G debates, I'm settling with my original suspicions in post #194:

++Brinniel

The Rune/Kitanna discrepancy is a thing now!

Okay, if I was a man of ideals I would vote Eonwe now. Not much to go on, but I really did not like how he flipped on Legate, and somebody made a point of his list being blant, which I also found valid.

I am however an pragmatic (not opportunist), and I believe Pitch to be innocent. I am torn between G55 and Brinniel, G55 is confusing and gives off both types of vibes, and Brinniel acts suspicious but it might be accidental.

++Brinniel

Edit:Crossed with every one from #244

[Thinlómien]

Let's make this more interesting then

++Galadriel55

[Galadriel55]

I pop in for a 2 minute break, and whoa. So here come the analyses posts. And thanks Kit for a summary on Brin

[Galadriel55]

And whoa, the votes.

Can I just say, Bad idea? I will turn out to be *very* innocent.

[Macalaure]

++Brinniel

Best I can come up with. I know my points kind of came out of nowhere, but I don't know what that's supposed to be "the single most suspicious thing". I'm a bit tight on time near the deadline today.

[Thinlómien]

So Brinn and G55 both at 6, but G55 the one to be a goner so far? With curious last minute posts from several people here! ToMorow will be iiiiiinteresting...

edit: xed with a bunch holy help
