As of right now Laitaine is on the top of my suspect list toward the black beorning. She have beleived yesterday that she caught a wolf with Alcarillo and when the villagers didn't agree with her she decided to take the matter up into her own hands. It would be easier for the beorning to take the victory with the wolves out of the way. There would be no possiblity of her being killed at night, and with no partners, not much evidence would be able to be found. So I am guessing that last night she killed who she thought was a wolf. To pave the ground for her victory.
Those are my thoughts on the beorning, more to come later

Interesting theory, Arctic.

It does seem reasonable. My vote might possibly go towards her this day. I'd very much like to find a wolf. But since the wolves can only kill one a night, and there are two left, it might still be prudent to get the Bear done away with, so that we might only lose one this night.

However, you could be a wolf, trying to get rid of the competition.

So, my list of suspects now includes Laitaine, as the possible Black Beorning.

*looks up from recorder, intrigued*

An interesting statement, Captain--very risky too
It sounds as though you’re hinting we’ll regret if we kill you.
But not the normal sorrow when a single villager dies
Perhaps you are the Ranger, or you have the Seeing eyes.

*taps recorder against chin in thinking gesture*

However, this seems far too bold a taunt to ringeth true,
Therefore, O CaptainofDespair, I keep my eye on you.
I don’t know whether you’re brave or if you’ve pulled a chancy bluff
But it’s certainly confusing, and that might be enough.
“Enough,” I mean, to lynch you--a sad thought, I’m aware.
But I’d not risk my village to your ways, wolven or bear.

*purses lips* Still…

I will not vote till later, to see what others say
Alcarillo’s death has taken my self-confidence away
I would not want to vote again and be completely wrong
Therefore, I’ll watch the others’ views--then write my voting-song.

*blasts a D on recorder*

Well, now that I have looked more hard through the posts on day two, it's time to start putting some pressure on...who? Why Captain of Despair....

Coming into today I had taken Sauce's post into account and began thinking of Gil-galad. However, Gil-Galad's lackadaisakle (spelling?) defense actually seems like Gil-Galad being Gil-Galad so I am less sure of that.

So, let's see what we got...In post #95 Durelin says...
Quote:
What's scary is that the bear could be anywhere. The bear could be CaptainofDespair, or SamwiseGamgee, or Meneltmarcil, or Boromir88...it could be anyone. The first three, and perhaps the fourth could also be a wolf. Could.
When reading this I interpret it as Durelin merely saying that anyone could be a the bear. Not pointing fingers at anyone, not accusing anyone, just mentioning that anyone could be a bear. So, I did not take this as an accusation, but bringing up the point that anyone could be the bear.

Someone took this differently in post #98, Captain firmly proclaims his innocence...He even goes so far as to try a little "back at you. You accuse me I accuse you." He even goes so far as to suggest that Durelin is the Seer, afraid of something is he?
Quote:
Me? A Bear? *gasps* What nonsense! I can assure you, on the honor of my shrews, that I am no such thing.

As for you, why not lynch you? Maybe you have something to hide? Are you a gifted? Hmm...Into the future I cannot see. Perhaps you can?
Why would he be afraid that Durelin could look into the future? He obviously is afraid for some reason I think that post clearly shows it.

Then later on in post #123, I talk about people should only be stoutly deny their innocence if they have something to be afraid of (however I do agree Lalaith in that this always is not the case. I still think it to be an accurate way to judge).

Suddenly Captain's defense of himself seems to change in post #128 and 130...
Quote:
Go ahead. Lynch me.
Quote:
If I'm innocent, I shouldn't have to defend myself. The evidence will clearly speak for itself. And how would it help? If I'm innocent, it narrows down the field. Sometimes, one can only have faith that his fellow villagers aren't country-bumpkins who lynch innocents at the drop of a hat.
As Meneltarmacil points out in post 132:
Quote:
Captain, it seemeth to me that thou art trying to use ye idea Boromir88 mentioned of ye innocente not defending themselves as harshly as ye guilty. Thou dost not defende thyself aggressively in order to make it appear that thou art innocente.
Now at first I will say I was skepticle of this, but as I see how Captain reacted earlier to being accused (which I didn't think it was an accusation), I think he was trying to fool us. Flip-flopper have we?
