Sorry I haven't made an appearance yet, my work has kept me from the village councils...

Egads, what a way to go, Eomer.

Reading up on what everyone has said so far, it seems that the Seer Dream Theory seems to be dangerously flawed...more so than the Short List, which just confuses me.

I have to vote now, as RL will keep me away 'til perhaps Monday. Dang, I hate being rushed.

I feel as if I should go with my gut instinct, which was right in the past though I ignored it, and vote for ++THE PHANTOM , though The Guy and Fordim also unsettle me.

Also - Where is Zali?

"Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!"
~ Sir Walter Scott

I don't really know for whom I ought to vote...as I have had little chance recently to read views and opinions carfully, and as I have little time now to read them...I feel that I must vote on less evidence and thought than most of you have given this.

From what I have quickly read though I find pros and cons with every suggestion. Every time I find myself agreeing with one view I immediatly see the problems with it...this being as it is, though not wishing to add another name to our already myriad list, I feel I ought to follow The Saucepan Man's reasoning behind voting for Evisse or SoN and therefore vote for ++EVISSE.

To explain this.

1) I worked mostly from the Sucepan Man's list of how everyone had felt about the plans (keep in mind I'm short on time. This doesn't mean I'm looking only at The Saucepan Man's arguments and ignoring all others, it just means that I could read his post (#48 according to the number in the corner) and get a summary of almost everything I had missed).
2) Out of all the behavious and tendencies I saw there the most suspicious to me is agreeing with what either was or will be clear to everyone (ie: the the plans are flawed) but still wishing to use them. To me this suggests that Evisse was trying to avoid suspicion by agreeing, but still hoping to get the plans impemented so as to help herself (and her lycanthropic kin).
3) I do realize that Evisse has since stated that she was in support of a plan and not necessarily these plans...
4) The only other person who, in my mind, is suspicous enough to deserve being the one lynched is Fordim, I do not vote for him however because I feel that even the thickest of werewolves would have realized that suggesting these plans would bring them high on the list of "whom to hang" and I doubt Fordim would have gone through with it given that....also, though it's unlikely, if Fordim had some reasoning behind what has been speculated or given for suggesting these plans I would rather not see him lynched...
