Tol-in-Gaurhoth III (The Saga Continues...)

[Kuruharan]

Before I answer mormegil's question, there is one other thing I'd like to say.

Is The Saucepan Man's behavior really in line with what one would expect if one were falsely accused? Take a look at the phantom and me for instance. The phantom made a riotous clamor when he was falsely accused and ultimately so did I. While the phantom did not encourage his lynching, I have repeatedly encouraged mine because I have a point to prove. I must also note in fairness that Evisse did not go down too tamely either. This seems to me to be the natural reaction to someone falsely accused. A villager falsely accused is naturally going to think that the person accusing them is a werewolf, and try to expose them as such. The Saucepan Man, on the other hand, has been delicately tiptoeing around the possibility of his innocence. He first started accusing me and when I started turning on him he danced about with me a bit and then tried to change the subject and eventually convinced sufficient people to hang Son of Numenor. He's not been particularly vocal against me ever since, even though if anything I've gotten louder against him. If he were innocent he should be eager to either be hung himself or to get me hanged and clear his name and hopefully uncover a werewolf.

Now,

I would like to know who would be the other two

That is a slightly more difficult question. I freely admit that I was genuinely highly suspicious of Firefoot because Saucepan seemed to be bouncing off of her to some extent and she voted against the phantom for little good reason that I could see. However, obviously this morning changed my thinking. Ever since then I've become ever more suspicious of Fordim. I started off being highly suspicious of him. Then I became pretty convinced that he was innocent. Now I'm back to suspecting him again. (How's that for being open-minded?) Estel's theory has been working on my brain. I also note that this numbers game Fordim wants to try seems to be providing more justification for him to hang more innocents. See how well it works for the werewolves. Hang somebody off that list of four he provided, which he would probably kindly narrow to two. When that person proves to be innocent he can say, "Oops, I'm terribly sorry. However, it was a 50/50 chance. Now we know for certain that the werewolf must be ------." Then -------, who is innocent, is then hung because Fordim is very smart and the ever so innocent Saucepan Man supports this. Viola! Werewolves Victorious yet again.

Then there is his reluctance to go against Saucepan, but that probably is self-evident.

However, I'm not really certain about all of this. Not like I am of Saucepan. But it is possible and I've been getting ever more suspicious.

For the third, I'm not sure at all. I'm more concerned about finally getting a decisive choice in this Saucepan issue. I'm kind of figuring that I'll worry about the third when the time comes if I'm still around. Certainly, if Saucepan proves to be a werewolf that will probably aid in the choice considerably (as well as providing the villagers with a few more "outs").
