Werewolf IX: the Saga Owns You and You Know It

[Kath]

Time to answer some questions it seems.

Ok morm your cross posting theory I will buy but I still don't entirely get the vote. Since you knew that I did not trust you why would you assume that I would want you to 'jump on your bandwagon' as you say? If anything I would want you away from the votes so that if you were later lynched and revealed to be a wolf I would be in no way linked to you. I don't want to be linked to you. In answer to your other point I have mentioned Azaelia once, in my last post in fact. But I haven't really talked about her because I don't find her suspicious. Ok, yes, she voted for Bergil but so did a lot of people. She voted late but some people didn't vote at all. Durelin voted after the deadline and then retracted it but there is little suspicion surrounding her.

Now just a moment Saucepan Man I have a bone to pick with you. You say this:

I have few suspicions of mormegil at this stage. He seems to be genuine in his efforts to address our perilous situation. And the only basis for suspecting Menel is that he is posting frequently but contributing little. Which also applies to you, Kath. I would prefer to see a little solid reasoning behind your accusations.

Which implies that you are suspicious of me due to this lack of solid reasoning. In that case may I please draw your eye to this post by mormegil, who used it in his reasoning for voting for me. By your logic then you would also have to be suspicious of him as this was all the reason he has given.

Kath is worrying me a bit. Again something just doesn't sit right and another gut feeling

As to making posts that are full of substance that is difficult to do when people like the phantom, morm and SpM are around because they tend to say everything there is to say in one long post. If I were then to follow on with an analysis of my own it would be very similar to everything posted before except for different suspicions, which can be shown in a simple list. I give explanations where I can but I'm afraid that it is often gut feeling, or some undertone that I have seen in a post that makes me suspicious of a person. I can no more explain that in words by quoting those of my suspects than I can magically mend those flowers of mine! But I shall try at least to find some evidence for you.

My suspicion of Menel remains and I think that's fair at the moment seeing as he still hasn't replied in any way to the accusations made against him. Here is his only post today:

My prime suspect at this point would be Glirdan, due to his serious inconsistency in who he accuses, as if he's not sure who would look more suspicious and make him look more innocent. He may be a werebeast trying to blend in. I still think Kath ought to be watched for the same reasons I stated yesterDay.

Glirdan suspicious, Kath bears watching. And those reasons were:

Kath accused me shortly after Morm and SpM made their lighthearted accusations and Shelob seems to have joined in on it as well. I think at least one of these people may be a bandwagoning werebeast. And as stated above, Kath wants people to vote for the phantom as the Cobbler when he is taking a position completely contrary to what the Cobbler should be doing. Granted, it may be a double-bluff and he is clever enough to pull one off so the possibility is not out of my mind.

Yes I accused him but I have explained the reasons behind this before. No I did not want people to vote for the phantom because I thought he was, I quite categorically stated that I did not believe him to be. As I had been trying to explain all DAY I was simply trying to stop people from voting for those who were silent as it was unfair and not always a safe move. That, I think, was proved by Bergil's death.

And since we're talking about Menel, there was a pretty dramatic U-turn going on in his posts which I find quite suspicious. He goes from this where he lists his suspicions:

SamwiseGamgee, because of his attack on the phantom.

Bergil and Gil-Galad, due to their silence. WaynetheGoblin is a similar case, but he can be excused somewhat as stated earlier.

And the phantom himself does stand a slight chance of being the Bear, though I think it more likely that he is an innocent villager.

To his final post when he votes for me. I hadn't been on his list until then!

So Saucepan Man, that have content enough for you or must I dissect morm's every post in the hope of finding something concrete which, since he is a clever little bunny, I think will be unlikely to happen?

[the phantom]

About your suspicions, Kath, I haven't really been thinking about Menel, so I don't know how much there is to your claim. However, I will say that there are individuals that I suspect more than him at this time and thus I will not vote for Menel today.

Concerning morm, you could very well be right but I'm inclined to disagree. morm has been in a village with me before, and so he knows that I sometimes have a tendancy to snap back at people who point a finger at me- and that I'm pretty good at convincing the rest of the village to go along with me.

I doubt he would have been willing to point a finger at Sauce and I the way he did if he was a wolf or bear. No, no- he would've done all he could to avoid becoming my opponent and would follow my lead so long as I was on the wrong trail (which everyone is on early in the game).

Now, you can call this evidence flimsy if you wish, but I believe it is true.

As far as who to lynch today, there aren't many people I am willing to vote for. Alca seems like the logical choice. Even though the odds say he isn't guilty, his death might perhaps be informative.

I suppose I might be willing to support a lynching of Azaelia since others have made good points about her.

There are others that I might be able to make a weak case for (Folwren, Holby and Kath, for instance), but I am not willing to vote for them on such slim suspicions. For one thing, their deaths just wouldn't be as informative as others.

I have to leave for work very very shortly, so if you have any last minute thing to say, get it in before I cast my vote (in about ten minutes).
